Final Fantasy Type-0 Demo Detalis

In four hours time, the demo for Final Fantasy Type-0 will be available to Japan. If you don’t have a Japanese PSN account, you can download the demo at the official site of the game. Make sure you have an extra 332 MB of available space and have Version 6.39 Firmware.

The demo will be an updated version of the demo that was present at a Square Enix event in Odaiba. It includes seven characters in four different scenarios. Changes from that demo will include higher difficulties and new camera code.

As a special treat, the demo also includes items of summer clothing for each of the fourteen characters hidden within the demo. These items of clothing will be transferable to the full game, which will be released on October 13th. There is no word on whether the game will leave Japan at this point in time.

If you do decide to download the demo, Andriasang has a summary of the controls.

Introducing the Warlock Class in Eden Eternal’s Largest Content Update

0

A new patch for the free-to-play Eden Eternal has been released by Aeria Games today. To date, this is the largest update for the
growing fantasy MMORPG with the inclusion of the highly anticipated new character class. The major content update includes a level cap; the warlock character class, specialising in dark arts, and spawning parasites with the use of spells; new areas to explore including regions and dungeons; the Loyalty Shop where players will be awarded points to use for purchase of items where Aeria Points are used; and the PvP “Territory War”, a free-for-all brawl between guilds to claim or defend territories.

Here’s Eden Eternal in a nutshell:

Eden Eternal transcends the limitations of a lot of free-to-play MMORPGs in terms of class allocation. You’ll begin the game as either a Warrior or a Magician, and as you progress through the world of magic and fantasy, you’ll be able to unlock up to 15 unique classes, three of which are still to be released in the coming months. This means that you’ll be able to change your class to any other one you have already unlocked, at any given time!

Now, after slashing some foes with an axe as a Warrior or causing some magical mayhem as a Magician, you feel like jumping into the shoes of childhood hero, Robin Hood? Become a Hunter then – after unlocking it of course. Turns out the bow and arrow ain’t your forte and you’d like to try your hands on some healing and buffing magic? Become a Cleric! Still unsatisfied? Then try any of the other classes in the vibrant and colourful world of Eden Eternal until you find the right one, the one that best suits you!

Valve launch Gift trading system on Steam

These guys would have to be one of my favourite developers, even though they don’t release a plethora of titles like many others, most everything they do release is damn awesome. Portal 2 couldn’t have come at a better time in a gaming market that was getting downright monotonous, being flooded with FPS essentially representing the same game in a different location. Amongst their other titles, Left 4 Dead 2 remains as one of the most popular multiplayer and online games ever. Basically what imp getting at is when these guys do something they generally do it well.
So it should be with great excitement to many that Valve has launched the Steam Trading Beta, allowing users to trade Steam Gifts and in-game items. Although the Beta only currently applies to Team Fortress 2, Valve have confirmed via Steam that “Portal 2 should be reasonably soon, and we hope to see several third party games in the next few months”.
Users can also trade any games they have purchased within the store as well as those “extra” copies that frequently come as incentives with big titles. It should be noted that only unopened games will be eligible to be accepted into the system. Steam has also implemented a new feature that allows users to save a Gift for trading at the point of purchase.
Valve announced the news not long after Blizzard introduced an Auction house in Diablo 3 that allowed players to trade their legal and ill-gained loot for real cash.

Dead Island’s Purna gets a few details and some screenshots

Dead Island has plenty of zombies and we’ve seen and heard plenty about them, but what about those still living on the island? Well today Techland and Deep Silver decided to give us a little bit of information on one of the female playable characters for the title. Her name is Purna and she carries a big knife as you can see in her official art below which shows that even in the face of a zombie apocalypse you can still look stylish.

But there is much more to Purna than a pretty face. She was a former police officer at the Sydney Police department and she had lost her job after killing a child molester due to the fact that no one else could touch him due to his political connections. Afterwords Purna became a bodyguard, which means she knows plenty about dealing out death. Perhaps her background may just help her survive the zombie apocalypse, or should I say you will when Dead Island is released early next month.

Skyrim’s Dark Elf race given first screenshot

There are many races in the Elder Scrolls world, but so far we haven seen little of what these races will look like in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, until now. After Bethesda held a poll with their fans over what race and class should be shown off, it was selected that the Dark Elves, otherwise known as the Dunmer, would have their time to shine as well as the thief class.

Today Bethesda delivered on their promise with the above screenshot of a Dunmer thief wielding two daggers and looking quite viscous. For those who played Oblivion, you may remember that Dark Elves were talented in both weapons and magic, making them a good mixed class. Now if only November can come sooner so we can finally have The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim sitting in our Xbox 360s, Playstation 3s and PCs.

Anarchy Reigns’ Oinkie uses a little performance enhancing juice

Don’t let any of the major sports organizations know, but apparently Sega and Platinum Games think that a bit of performance enhancement is A Okay, as long as it turns your skin green and scaley. In the latest character reveal for Anarchy Reigns we are introduced to a bit of a hefty fellow named Oinkie.

Oinkie is a bit more than meets the eye however, because his unique characteristic is the large canisters on his back filled with “the juice” that happen to make him mutate and become not only much stronger, but also a bit green around the gills… and stomach and pretty much everything else. You can catch the character vignette below and be sure not to make this guy angry, he may go juicing again.

Gotham City Imposters beta begins this September

What kid hasn’t had a dream where they were Batman, or most recently the Joker. Unfortunately not all of us are backed by millions of dollars nor are clinically insane so we just have to do with being imposters of the real thing. Such is the case with Monolith’s Gotham City Imposters which will be released some point 2012.

If you don’t feel like waiting that long to play the crazy looking shooter than you may want to register for the closed beta that is going to be beginning next month. The registration for closed beta began today and you can enter here, though be warned that there are a limited amount of spots available so you aren’t guaranteed an invite. The platforms available for the beta test haven’t been specified but all three are selectable in the sign up process.

Fallout: New Vegas Lonesome Road DLC delayed until September

Despite what they may have said earlier, it seems that Bethesda won’t be able to continue their monthly release of Fallout: New Vegas DLC. This is because the final piece of content for the game, “Lonesome Road” which was originally meant for a late July release has been delayed due to circumstances beyond their control.

This news was revealed by senior producer Jason Bergman who explained in a Bethesda.com forum post that he wanted to let fans know that “due to circumstances beyond our control, Lonesome Road won’t be out this month.” He went on to say that they don’t have a set date at this point but they are working as fast as possible to get this content out to their fans. To make small amends they released the above image from “Lonesome Road” which shows the High Road highway as a pile of rubble.

Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D “Land” some release dates…

Back when Nintendo announced the ambassador program, they also mentioned two release windows for Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land. As of today though, both titles have been given a more official date, so you 3DS owners can now start planning a pre-order.

Super Mario 3D Land will be the first out, with a nice November 13th release date. Mario Kart 7 comes just a few weeks later and right before Christmas on December 7th. With Starfox 64 3D just weeks away and Pokemon Rumble Blast hitting stores in October, it seems Nintendo certainly are banking on a big 3DS holiday season and these two big “holiday” hitters should be just enough to skyrocket sales for the handheld.
