Resident Evil 7 goes old school? 

re7The supposed Resident Evil 7 image is out on the internet. It worms my heart to see the reunion of the originals as it bring back amazing memories of the amazing Resident Evil one. Remembering the golden era of the video games as well as my own memories of playing this gem.

The word is; Resident Evil 7 will be the final part of the series as its been stretched far enough. I don’t know how to react as part of me agrees that Resident Evil reached its final life part with all the failures after 3. Another part will miss new Resident Evils and will always wish for more.

Resident Evil is still my favorite horror and possible all time greatest (Resident Evil one) so letting go will not be that easy. Any way, lets hope for the best and celebrate once news is out.

Excited for The Crew

tcWhile reading the latest GamesMaster magazine, I came upon this open world racing game to be out around November this year. I love racing games but hate open world. To me; it feels limited on what can and cannot be done as the whole game is set in one setting. Add to that the fact that there were no good open world racing games since I don’t know, the invention of open world with a small exception to forza horizon which I’m yet to play but are taking my brother’s word for it.

Yet after reading this and checking IGN I feel that this is the game that will change my mind and become “my type of game” which I will be playing regularly. The graphics look good and so as the gameplay but more information is needed to confirm my expectations. I just hope it doesn’t become pay to win type of game where everything is in real life money.

I will probably be picking the PC version as I’m playing to upgrade my machine to support the next Gen games. Lets see how things play out.

Resident Evil 6 first impression

Starting this post with a fact that I am the biggest Resident Evil fan there is. I own most of the Resident Evil games on multi platforms and still hunt the remaining ones on eBay and local sellers. With that out of the way, lets get into my first impression after playing Resident Evil 6 on Xbox 360.

re6Growing up with Resident Evil 1 and on made me love the franchise more and more until part 4 and 5. It is when the formula totally changed and the game became something else with the Resident Evil name. I started Resident Evil 6 playing as Chris; the old school Resident Evil 1 hero who started taking steroids from RE5 and onward.

The controls felt broken and un resident evil like although I got used to them in 30 minutes. The new inventory system is confusing and time consuming. Why couldn’t they keep the RE 5 inventory system is beyond me.

The first chapter was not that great to begin with as it seemed very repetitive and boring. As I finished it and moved on to the second, things started to change for the better. I am now more familiarized with the system and the enlivenment but the thing is, I cant but feel that I am playing a 3rd person Call of duty game. The squad command is not helping either. Resident Evil was always about 1 guy getting into trouble in a no man zone. Running around a group of solders is not Resident Evil.

Never the less, I am enjoy so far and my brother who has completed the game is saying that things will get better. Hoping for the best. Out.

Daily Pickups: Sega Saturn Magazines acquired

It is no secret that I was and still am Sega Saturn and old school SEGA fan. It is this issue that I first picked up in the super market years ago along with it’s demo.

1I remember rushing to my Black Saturn and testing the demo using the official region free card. Boy was I amazed. I remember playing world wide soccer over a 100 times and trying to glitch my way out of the map in steep slope sliders. The days gaming was actually fun and inventing.

Fast forward to today and I managed to score some mags of my past and a couple of new ones. The reason I stopped going further is cause I don’t wanna be broke from the start as I have bills to pay and people to take care of. Never the less, these amazing gems will surly bring back the nostalgic feeling and joy to my heart.

Sony forgets to renew a domain, everything goes offline wait what?

Sony_Online_Entertainment_Logo

You heard it right. Sony as a company forgot to renew one of its core websites domain resulting in most of the games to go offline as well as a number of support forums. Hold on and let that sink in. So one of the biggest companies simply forgot to renew a website contract critical to online gaming and forums?

After reading the news, all I picture is this:

homeratwork

Yet people still defend Sony and its dying brand of gaming that did nothing for gaming since the PS2 and keep on bashing the Xbox. Amazing news. I had hoped that this would have been a trolling article or an April’s fool news but not, its as real as Sony gets.

Killing Floor is surprisingly fun

Now hold on, before you rage let me make it clear: I bought the game shortly after release but did not understand the idea of it so I left it alone. Years later my brother was playing the call of duty zombie mode and I immediately realized how fun would killing floor be.

KillingFloor 2014-07-20 00-20-09-809Wasting no time I downloaded the game again and bought all the DLCs pack as they were on sale and sent a gift version to my brother. Hours after I came to conclusion that I missed a great game and was glad I give it a second chance.

The problem is, I am new to such type of games so I started learning and practicing. Of curse all of my sessions were offline as my internet is not stable enough. The game is very hard, even on beginner as I’m struggling to defeat the first boss but I kept on playing and will continue to do so. I may pick KF2 when its released but for now I’m enjoying this great game.

Waiting for my brother to fix his PC so he can join me in killing the freaks. Recommended to all.

Places I visit online

We all have our daily visited website and I am no different. Ofcourse the priority changed over the years so here are my daily visited websites these days:

1

I only visit the UFC and WWE section as I’m both a WWE and MMA fan. The strange thing is; I mostly read the comments rather than the blog post itself.

2

The hardcore news network. News and updates that are intended for a serious gamer along with a few controversial things that are not covered anywhere.

3

Long before YouTube, there was GameFAQs. I remember browsing it for the first time as I was playing Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast. Guides and FAQs that cannot be found elsewhere, even paid. Years later and I became a writer. Feel free to vist my page with all my work: http://www.gamefaqs.com/users/Adam3k3/contributions/faqs

Where else could I shop for old school gems? 90% of my shopping goes here.

Visiting the forums although not as active as I once was as I’m now more into blogging and writing.

Well, the above are my daily visited sites. I do visit more but I feel they are not as frequent as the ones I mentioned.

Sting announced as preorder bonus for WWE 2K15

It’s no secret that the legendary Sting was negotiating his WWE contract for some time now, what surprised me is him being announced for the upcoming WWE game without his presence. Now I understand him coming out, announcing his game and leaving without any fights is pointless but it was wired.

IMG_1507

To be honest, I have mixed feelings about his WWE debut; First, the WWE did not respect or use any wCw stars once the purchase was made. All the former wCw stars became jobbers except for the later once like Goldberg and maybe Scott Steiner. Even Eric Bischoff was humiliated. Sting himself said that going to WWE is a gambling and he did not trust how WWE would use him and with Cena burying everyone left and right I must say I’m worried.

The last thing I want to see is Sting being destroyed and humiliated by Cena and with taker out of the picture I don’t see any good thing coming out of this except the cash.

stingOnce other thing that pisses me off; Why is Cena on the cover when a big time legend like Sting is making his announcement on joining the company?

My personal take? He should have stayed in TNA or maybe help the upcoming Global Force. Of course I may be wrong but we shell see. All the best for the Stinger.

PlayStation TV?

The upcoming PlayStation TV which can be preordered from Amazon will make its way out on December 1, 2014. To be honest I’m not sure how I feel, on one hand this Device will rival the useless Apple TV and the new Amazon box as well as have the extra of playing PS one games and even streaming PS3/PS4 as well as playing PSP Vita.

On the other hand, the main propose of the TV device is to play movies and music which I’m not so sure about just yet. How much will a single movie cost to buy/rent? How much is available? What is the DRM like? I for one cant use this or any PlayStation network product as I have a total of three user names each of a story of its own and Sony wont let you change the region.

What I’m trying to say: This product may be good on paper but in realty? We are yet to see.

pstvPre Order from Amazon for $99.99 

  • Play Fun PlayStation Games Together: Hundreds of titles to download and play including PlayStation Vita games, classic games from PS One and PSP systems, and more.
