- Price of Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 announced


any people are looking forward to Konami’s upcoming offering to fans of sports games—Pro Evolution Soccer 2013.  We have just received word that the game will be available on the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 for Rs. 2999. The demo for the game was released on Xbox LIVE Arcade (XBLA) and PlayStation Network (PSN) on July 25. Though there is no news about the price of the PC version of the game, the demo for the PC version is available on theofficial website for the game.

The demo allows gamers to check out new features first hand. The demo features eight licensed teams: Germany, England, Portugal and Italy in European football, and Santos FC, SC International, Fluminense and Flamengo are available in the Copa Libertadores mode.

The latest entry in the franchise, Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 marks a huge advance for the series. The new game offers PES FullControl, using which players are given total control over every pass, shot and even first touches to the ball. The Pro-Active AI ensures that players move as they should, both on and off the ball, creating the authentic big match experience. The Player ID system then enhances the game further by having the players look, move and play just like their real life counterparts.

The series, known as "World Soccer: Winning Eleven" in Japan, has always had difficulty getting licenses for football teams, at least partially due to EA Sports’ habit of buying the exclusive licenses from teams for its FIFA series of games. The series has sold more than 75 million copies all over the world, making it one of the best selling game franchises ever.

Currently, Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo is the face of the franchise, appearing on the front cover of every game being released in the series and in promotional campaigns and advertisements in the media. Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Lionel Messi as the face of the series in the previous version of the game, Pro Evolution Soccer 2012.

Every year, the game is released around late September or early October with two different titles – "World Soccer: Winning Eleven" in Japan and "Pro Evolution Soccer" in other countries. The Japanese version is a localised one that features local leagues. In 2007, the franchise began to use the name "Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer" for the American market, which was later changed to "Pro Evolution Soccer" in 2008, dropping the "Winning Eleven" moniker entirely for that region.

The Pro Evolution Soccer series traces its roots to the game Goal Storm released in 1996. Goal Storm was developed by Konami. The first game in the PES series proper was Pro Evolution Soccer, which was released in 2001 for both the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.




- Bethesda may not be able to port Dawnguard to PS3


As Xbox 360 and PC gamers are enjoying the DLC (downloadable content) for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, called Dawnguard, gamers on the PlayStation 3 are still waiting for the DLC to make its way to their system of choice. Recently, developer Bethesda made a forum post on the official forums for the game that it may not be able to solve the problems faced in porting the DLC to the PlayStation 3.

The post reads, “We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone. The PS3 is a powerful system, and we're working hard to deliver the content you guys want. Dawnguard is obviously not the only DLC we’ve been working on either, so the issues of adding content get even more complicated. This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve, but we are working together with Sony to try to bring you this content.

Recently, Bethesda had announced the next DLC for its wildly popular open world role playing game (RPG). The new DLC, titled Hearthfire, will be released on Xbox LIVE on the 4th of September and will cost 400 Microsoft Points (roughly Rs. 280).

According to the blog, in Hearthfire you can purchase land and build your own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armoury, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden and more. The DLC introduces new tools like a drafting table and a carpenter’s workbench to transform stone, clay and logs into structures and furnishings. The new DLC will also allow you to adopt children. Bethesda has released a trailer for the upcoming DLC.
Skyrim put players in control of the Dovhakiin, which is dragon tongue for Dragonborn, in the icy viking-inspired region of Skyrim. The series is very well known for its open world that lets players roam around and do whatever they want, from exploring treacherous caverns to finding treasure, or picking flowers and making potions.

Skyrim has been a massive success for Bethesda, proving that big budget games without multiplayer can be successful. The Creation Kit for the game was released earlier this year in February. Within weeks, the Creation Kit had clocked in over two million downloads. This is a testament to the dedication of PC gamers and the popularity of Skyrim, the only other game on Steam that went toe-to-toe with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 last November. Bethesda had also announced that an average PC player of Skyrim has clocked nearly 75 hours in the game.




- Halo 4 gets new screenshots and trailer


Halo 4, the latest game in the Xbox 360’s flagship series Halo, is widely anticipated. According toGameranx, developer 343 Industries has now released screenshots of the game showing off one of the staple game modes in the Halo multiplayer – Capture the Flag. Along with the screenshots, the developer has released a small video that shows off one of the new maps in Halo 4, titled Exile.
The video, released on PAX prime, shows off the Capture the Flag  game mode in the Exile map, which was revealed quite some time ago.. It is one of the many other game modes that will feature in Halo 4. The other game modes in the upcoming FPS (first person shooter) includes deathmatch, team deathmatch and Oddball, among others.

The developers had also released a trailer that showed off the new weapons and sound effects in August.. The trailer mostly attempts to show off the completely rebuilt new sound effects for the weapons in Halo 4. The video also displays the revamped sound effects of popular weapons from the earlier games, such as the pistol, DMR, rocket launcher and shotgun. Some of the newer weapons showed off in the trailer are a sticky grenade launcher and a rail gun that can kill in one hit, but has a relatively long down-time between shots.

During Comic-Con in July, Microsoft and 343 had announced a limited edition, Halo 4-themed Xbox 360 set costing $399. The set contains the Xbox 360 with Halo-themed artwork, two limited edition Halo 4 controllers, a copy of Halo 4, a wireless headset and downloadable codes for Halo-4 themed avatar items and in-game DLC.

Halo is a massive franchise. It has been one of the main driving forces behind the success of the Xbox and the early success of the Xbox 360. It was one of the first First Person Shooter (FPS) games on consoles to get the controls right, though some games before it such as the GoldenEye for the Nintendo64 got it right, but weren’t successful.

The development of Halo 4 has been taken over from Bungie by 343 Industries that helped out with the game "Halo: Reach" and provided fans with an HD remake of "Halo: Combat Evolved". It’s about time the Xbox 360 got a solid first party game. It seems since the past few months, Microsoft has been targeting the casual gamer over the hardcore one.

Halo 4, Microsoft’s next iteration in the Halo franchise, will arrive exclusively for the Xbox 360 by November 6, 2012. Halo 4 takes place nearly four years after the events of Halo 3 and will mark the return of Master Chief, who was absent from both Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. Coincidentally, this game also marks the beginning of a brand new Halo trilogy.

The previous game released by the franchise was the HD remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, named Halo: Anniversary. “Halo has made an indelible impact on gaming and pop culture over the past ten years,” said Bonnie Ross, General Manager of 343 Industries. “Whether you’ve followed the story from the beginning or want to experience it for the first time, ‘Halo: Anniversary’ offers everyone a chance to relive the iconic classic before they embark on a brand new adventure with Master Chief next year in ‘Halo 4,” she added.
