Far Cry 3 delayed until December 4

Ubisoft announced earlier today that Far Cry 3 will be delayed until December 4, three months later than the previous planned release date of September 4.

In Far Cry 3 you play as Jason Brody who is searching for a missing girlfriend on a stranded island full of insane mercenaries, especially Vaas—the lead antagonist. In the demo at E3, the sceneries are spectacular, but that’s if you have the time to actually catch a glimpse as you have to constantly stab or gun down the enemies.

The new Far Cry will be powered by the Dunia 2 engine, and three other studios are involved in the game development. Ubisoft has yet to confirm why the game is delayed, and releasing the game three months later means that there are stiff competitions from titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Halo 4. However, since the Far Cry 3 new release date is around the holiday season, the competition factor may be negated by demands during Christmas.

Ubisoft raked in $1.3 billion in sales last year and the Far Cry franchise has to do a lot with it. The third installment is highly anticipated, and hopefully Ubisoft doesn’t disappoint now that they’re taking an extra three months to work on the title.

Dark Souls 2 wordt toegankelijker, andere director Xbox 360 games

Dark Souls 2, dat vannacht is onthuld tijdens de Spike TV Video Game Awards, moet toegankelijker dan het eerste deel worden. Dit is een gevolg van de twee nieuwe game directors die het stokje overnemen van bedenker Hidetaka Miyazaki, meldt Edge.

Hij blijft de ontwikkeling van het spel overzien, maar doet een stapje terug als director en laat deze taak over aan Tomohiro Shibuya en Yui Tanimura. Shibuya zegt dat hij de voorkeur geeft aan een meer "directe aanpak" van de serie, in plaats van een subtiele. Dit moet ervoor zorgen dat het spel meer "rechttoe rechtaan en begrijpelijk" wordt.

Uitgever Namco Bandai belooft wel dat het tweede deel de typische uitdaging behoudt waar Dark Souls bekend om staat. Het spel krijgt een vernieuwde multiplayer, die een variant wordt op hoe het in Dark Souls en Demon's Souls ging, namelijk dat spelers berichten konden achterlaten voor anderen en hen in de eigen spelwereld konden oproepen. Dark Souls 2 komt uit voor Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 en PC.

DFI LAN Party CFX3200 DR Motherboard Sneak Preview

We have just received a review sample of the DFI LAN PartyCFX3200-DR Motherboard based on the ATi Cross-Fire Xpress 3200 chipset. It looksvery similar to the RDX200 motherboard wereviewed a while back.

However, notice the diagnostic LED Code panel at the bottomleft of the motherboard. This is the first LAN Party board to sport it, andis definitely a refreshing and more informative change for users who are usedto staring at the 3 red spots flash at every bootup. Other than this and theATi Cross-Fire Xpress 3200 chipset, this board also differs from the RDX200in it's Southbridge, which is the ULi M1575 core logic. This should at leastsever the board from the sub-par USB performance legacy of the RDX200. Formore pictures and details, feel free to peepin.
