Permanent End For Kojima's & Del Toro's Silent Hills

Silent Hills, at least as some people imagined it, wont be completed. The very much anticipated new chapter created an enormous rackus with its playable teaser P.T. that it became available last summer. Once someone solved the riddle of the P.T. he could watch a trailer for the new game that was revealing the colaboration of Metal gear solid's, Hideo Kojima, the director Guillermo Del Toro an the protagonist of The Walking Dead series , Norman Reedus.

According to Reedus' and Del Toros' sayings there wont be an attempt to continue the production process. At San Francisco International Film Festival, Guillermo Del Toro, according to sayings stated that the cooperation "is not going to happen". After that Norman Reedus, posted at his twitter an article that was about the cancelation of that project while Konami confirmed at Eurogamer that the contract with the actor was no longer active. The reasons that led to the cancelation of the project remain unknown but Kojima is going to divorce with Konami.

The gap between Kojima Productions and Konami (where the studio belongs) will lead as it seems for the designer to quit after the completion of Metal Gear Solid 5. Although as it seems Silent Hills is a collateral damage of Kojima's and Konami's conflict, the last says that will continue producing the Silent Hill series, as will do with metal gear Solid even without Kojima. 

Whoever hasnt played the playble trailer is unlucky because it was active for download till today 29 of April.

Silent Hills May Officially Be Canceled

Okay, this is a little sketchy and I’m not going to say it’s 100% confirmed until it actually becomes 100% confirmed, but it’s still something that raises some serious concerns.

Apparently, last night at the San Francisco International Film Festival, acclaimed director/writer/producer Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth), was asked about the status of Silent Hills, the upcoming title in the long running Silent Hill series from Konami. His answer to the question was, “It’s not gonna happen and that breaks my greasy heart.”

This “quote” was tweeted by Matt Hackney, where it quickly spread like wildfire. One retweet came from del Toro’s own personal assistant, Ian Gibson, who also responded to another tweet essentially confirming that the information was true.

Once again, nothing has actually been confirmed and that original quote is a little suspicious. But ti should be noted that there are some actually concerning facts that do lend credence to this idea.

The first bit of evidence is that P.T., the playable teaser that revealed the Silent Hills title, is being pulled from the PSN store in the next few days. No explanation has been given for this.

The second piece of evidence is that director Hideo Kojima will be leaving Konami after the September release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. Konami has stated that the Metal Gear series will continue after Kojima leaves but there has been nothing official stated about the Silent Hill series.

We’ll keep you updated as we learn more.

Personally, this was one of my most anticipated titles ever. I was holding off on buying either a PS4 or an Xbox One because I wanted to see if it was an exclusive title. The thought of Kojima, del Toro, and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) working together to create a new Silent Hill was almost too good to be true. Unfortunately, it seems that this was the case all along. It was just a matter of time.

Medal of Honor Airborne - Won't Install FIXED

We have seen many times games that are not compatible with some windows' version or with some grafic cards drivers versions and so on. Games running fine on win7 but are crashing on win8 etc. The same kind of behavior we have when we try to install MOHA on a win7 system.

The stupid thing is that the game runs only the PhysX drivers that xomes with and not any other newer versions so if you have the latest version or a newer one the game wont continue after the CD key input.

After a bit of google search and a test on my own PC, i figured out a secure and easy way to solve this annoying problem.

So here it is:

HOW TO:

- Uninstall the PhysX Drivers from your system (only the PhysX, so that the game installs its own)
- Install the game

With these 2 steps you will be able to play the game but your PhysX drivers will be outdated. Nevertheless i recommend you to do it that way just play it finish it and uninstall it afterwards (its quite a short game) and update your PhysX drivers.

The other thing you can do is after the installation finishes try to update at that time your PhysX drivers but thats not a very guaranteed way cos you may encounter incompatibilities as you did before!

 

Sony ending PlayStation Vita Maps, Near Features & YouTube App

Sony has announced that it will end support for the PlayStation Vita's Maps and near features in a forthcoming system update.

Maps will be removed automatically as part of a March firmware patch, while near will lose its ability to obtain locations or display maps at all - effectively killing it, too.

The Vita's YouTube app is also set to be retired. Support will be fully removed from 20th April, although the app will no longer be available to download from today, 28th January.

Vita owners will still be able to watch YouTube clips via their browser, albeit with some minor loss of functionality.

Sony has FAQs for both the Youtube and Maps/near changes, although no reason has been given for the impending removals.

However, it's likely that Sony still pays to license the YouTube app for its device - a cost it may be seeking to be cut considering the numbers of customers using it. The same may also be true of its location-based services.

New Baldur's Gate Game to Bridge the Gap Between 1 & 3

 

Beamdog has revealed that its 'Adventure Y' project is definitively a new Baldur's Gate game.

Rather than a sequel, Adventure Y will "bridge the gap" between Buldur's Gate and Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition, acting as a '1.5' entry of sorts.

"This year, the eagerly anticipated Adventure Y will finally navigate the dark underground caverns of development and venture out into the Sword Coast," the studio wrote on its blog. "... Adventure Y will be an addition to the Baldur’s Gate line using the Infinity engine, bridging the gap between Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition".

Grim Fandago Remastered! Manny Calavera Returns!

 

No other game was similar to Grim Fandago when it came out in 1998 and almost 2 decades later nothing exists that does.

Lucasarts' Grim Fandago, thats has created classic titles such as Monkey Island or Sam & Max, it was published  in a somewhat difficult period - regarding its commercial success - at the same time with Half Life, Metal Gear Solid and The LEgend of Zelda of Carina of Time.

Despite all that, the creation of Lucasarts won the gaming community's hearts and today is a classic title that belongs in the best of its genre. It is an adventure, with many doses of mystery, mexican folklore and film noir that narrates the story of Manny Calavera, a salesman from the Death Division that helps lost souls to find better traveling packets for the the land of the dead.

His job is to find the best traveling packet for his customers, which is defined according to the life of each dead guy. If someone had lived more righteously he will be given a faster means of transportation in order to reach his final destination!

At the beggining of the game we see that Manny is made to become a detective when he finds out a plot orchestrated by the company he works for. His quest leads him through a net of corruption, deceat and murder.

Fiend Review (PC - Freeware)

Genre: Adventure/Survival Horror

Developer: Frictional Games

Publisher: Frictional Games

Release Year: 2001

System: PC

Hmmm... I dont get used to reviewing freeware or that unpopular games but thats doesnt mean I am against them! On the contrary! I kinda despise popular titles such as God of War that to me look really shallow and I think that by really digging and searching you can masterpieces that are just well hidden behind the glam of national companies or bad promotion etc. One of the hidden gems is that title here called Fiend. Fiend is a 2D survival horror game with a pokemon like point-of-view that its influences lie on the Resident Evil/Alone in the Dark series and the Lovecraft tradition. And guess who's behind all this... Frictional Games, the company that gave us the Penubra and Amnesia series!!!

PLOT: 9/10

You are Nick Cane a guy that works for a mining company and you are sent from Boston to a small village of Lauder for work. You gain Control as soon as you step foot on the village's grounds, village that for some strange reason it reminds me the town of Lucky Luke. There you are searching for a guy named Smith but soon you will realise that this will be the least of your concerns as you discover that horrid events haunt the village area that go way back. I wont reveal any more of the plot since it will be a spoiler but feel free to find out yourself.

GAMEPLAY: 7/10

While the idea and the theoritical part of the gameplay was really promising the actual thing is a different story. The walk around part of the gameplay it is an imitation of the RE series but there they were kinda cool cos it was somewhat of a 3D game but here the movement can be quite tricky. You open the inventory with SPACE where you hold your files guns etc. Run with SHIFT and fire with CTRL (you should waste your ammo very wisely because you run out quite quickly). You have to collect keys and stuff in order to unlock doors or talk to people to reveal new hints to progress in the game. 

GRAPHICS: 7/10

The graphics part of the game though they look a bit amateur the depict really well what they want to represent and this the most important for an indie freeware attempt. They are 2D with a bird eye view and will reveal only what is a few meter ahead of Nick and thats pretty scary! One thing that stuck in my mind are a avatars of the characters .. Why the protagonist has to be soooo ugly?! 

MUSIC/ATMOSPHERE: 9/10

Though almost musicless, Fiend, depends a lot on the surrounding sounds and the sound effects . It is the main source of stress creation and it does a pretty good job if you ask me! It seems quite realistic that there is no music at all. Silent Hill is scary gory and all that but music makes it sentimental as well for instance but this has a different result. Thumbs up!

OVERALL: 8/10

Catchy, scary, gory, old, oldschool, free, Frictional Games!!! Need anything more?!

 

 

PLAYBOX: PS4 & Xbox One In a Single Netbook

 

Very much is being said about which console of those two is the best of our generation. Ed Zarick surpassed this obstacle and made Playbox a custom notebook that contains a PS4 and an Xbox One. 

Ed Zarick, well known all over the internet for his mods, made a system combining the hardware of the consoles in a casing that he made himself. It comes with a 22 inch screen that despite its weight makes it portable. If you see it from the aspect of perfomance the console is operatable as the 2 consoles separately without overheating problems, inspite of the fact that its components are literally the one on top of the other. In conclusion, the 2 consoles cant be used at the same time.

Playbox is a prototype that was manufactured for a customer and it can't be bought out there but we guess that its price would be really really high if it did!
