Ace Combat 3D Demo, 3 Strikes and You’re Out?

January 10, 2012

In a shocking turn of Ace Combat related events, Namco Bandai have revealed that the 3DS demo of Ace Combat 3D will only be playable 3 times before it says ‘hasta la vista baby’ and soars off into the assault horizon.

The reason this is so alarming is that the usual amount of plays for a 3DS demo is 10 times what Ace Combat 3D’s demo offers. That’s right the standard amount of plays is 30. Which honestly, by that point you should know whether or not you like the game enough to purchase it. However 3 times just isn’t enough to even whet a player’s appetite.

This is a very strange move by Namco Bandai, but one that doesn’t seem to be open to negotiations, as the demo hits Japanese 3DS’ tomorrow. What do you think of this? Let us know in the shoutbox and comments section.

Amy price on PSN dropped to $10, delayed until January 17

When the price of the upcoming horror game Amy was announced, a few people got upset that the title would actually cost $3 more on the PSN than it would if they bought the title on the XBLA. The reason for this was due to international pricing differences and the value of various countries dollars. Still, Developer Lexis Numerique asked the US gaming audience what they thought of the price and created a poll to gauge their response.

Well, it seems that fans wanted a cheaper game. Over 70% of the people who voted on the poll said that they would rather take the game at $10 like it is on the Xbox 360. As such the game is going to indeed be dropped down to $10 but to do this the game must be delayed. This means that now the release date of the PlayStation Network version of Amy is on January 17th.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown blends strategy and turn based combat

With the announcement of XCOM: Enemy Unknown by the cover of next month’s Game Informer, it only makes sense that Game Informer is the first company to give us a bit of information in the title. To be more specific, Game Informer has published an interview with developers Firaxis and in this interview the developers state that Enemy Unknown will be a blend of turn-based and RTS gameplay.

The video game will be switching between the two modes, where players will need to manage research and development at the XCOM secret base in real time while combat is turn based. The R&D can be done whenever the player feels like and involves securing funding for XCOM, intercepting UFOs with jet fighters, leveling up soldiers, etc. The title is currently planned to be released sometime in the fall of this year. So expect more news in the coming weeks.
