The Nordicdusk Gaming News and Reviews Show
 

I didnt want to keep creating new threads everytime there was an announcement or some general gaming news so i will start this thread to keep it all in one place and throw some reviews in for good measure.

First bit of exciting news that was announced today was the release date for Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain which will be available from September 1st. The game looks beautiful and as with all MGS games you have to be prepared for loooooong cut scenes i think i final cut scene in MGS 4 was well over an hour if i remember correctly.

No I'm not a PC gamer I only have a quite old laptop. Would love to have a proper rig maybe one day.

Uncharted 4 Delayed Until Spring 2016 - IGN

I am gutted that its going to be another year before we get Uncharted 4 but its nice to see a developer taking its time to make sure everything is perfect for release. On the plus side its one less game to pick up in the busy game months of September to December.

I don't know about you Nordy but the cut scenes are becoming a pain for me. I just off loaded 1886 because I felt like a viewer not a participator. I don't mind an addition to the narrative but if I want to watch a film I will pop a movie on. What system do you have by the way. I have Sony genes and have had since PS2 before which I flitted between any system I could lay my hands on.

Yes i agree about more cut scenes than gameplay getting very annoying. Games need to stop trying to rival films and remain what they started out as games. Im all for a good deep story but it needs to run side by side with gameplay . I have PSP PS2 PS3 and PS4. I also have Xbox Xbox 360 and an Xbox One. I started collecting for Sega Megadrive and SNES awhile back but it can be an expensive hobby so ill just stick with whats easy to come by.

Speaking of Sega Mega Drive there is a new game in production. Im not sure what the availability of it when its released will be but i really hope its easy to get a hold of. This is the best trailer / gameplay at the minute i will follow this one closely.

Project Y Is An Upcoming Beat 'Em Up For the Sega Genesis - IGN

Gutted about uncharted 4, but better they take there time and give Nathan the send off he deserves. Only thing is sony need a big game for the Xmas period, microsoft have tombraider and Nintendo are supposed to be releasing the new zelda then, if sony don't get a big title out I can see it effecting sales around Christmas

Yeah Sony are having a hard time this gen i love my PS4 but i dont think they have delivered on exclusives after the failure of The Order. I hope for their sake Bloodborne will be a success.

Agree bloodbourne better be some extra special after the huge disappointment of the order, think that might Also have something to do with uncharteds delay, they don't want a repeat of the order, great sales first week then took a big nosedive afterwards, it's been the biggest disappointment this gen

Any fans of Hotline Miami ? If you have not played it you owe it to yourself to atleast give it a shot it should be pretty cheap now on PSN or Steam. I fell in love with the game the moment i saw the first trailer. Its fast paced colourful the soundtrack is amazing. Just be prepared you will die over and over and over again its hard but not unfairly so and its so addictive. Hotline Miami Wrong Number was released on Tuesday im hoping to pick it up over the weekend.

The next game ill pick up will be Battlefield Hardline i really enjoyed the Beta but the single player is inspired by TV cop shows so im interested to see how that works out and its something different from modern warfare type shooters.

That looks fun, retro graphics, gore and guns! what more could one want? the music on the first one is catchy as hell.:coolblue:

The whole soundtrack is like that really sticks in your head and works great with the game.

Just a heads up to anyone with a PS4 Sleeping Dogs is on sale on PSN for the week for €11.99. I didn't get into it on PS3 but I'll give it a shit for that price.

I started playing Sleeping Dogs on PS4 over the weekend. When it was released originally on last gen consoles I avoided it for ages after it was labeled a GTA killer because no game can live up to hype like that. While waiting for GTA V to come out on it's original release on last gen also I taught I'd give Sleeping Dogs ago while I waited. I have to say I just could stand the game and quickly traded it in without giving it the chance it deserved I think the rapidly approaching release of GTAV was killing it for me.

So over a year or so after that It seemed only fair to revisit the game on the new gen and the reduced price off €11.99 was certainly a big ing licence on that decision. Right from the get go I have a different view of the game and straight away felt right at home with the city characters and mission layout. This is a top notch game with solid controls apart from the driving which is clunky and heavy reversing a bike feels like reversing a cargo ship. Playing as an undercover cop opens up the game a lot more with a bigger variety of missions. I'm only a few hours in at the minute and so far they have been some very fun enjoyable hours. Beating a guy yo death with a fish was a highlight :lol:

It's no GTA and it's unfair on the game to compare them and that's the fault of the gaming media painting all open world games with the GTA brush. We need to leave games be there own thing and enjoy them for what they are not the franchise they are not.

8/10

I actually enjoyed it a lot moe than I did GTA 4, for me more it had more likeable characters and story, not a patch on V.

but the Hand to hand fighting is far superior to GTA.

Hustle kings is free to download for the ps4

I LOVE this

Back for an other play through of LA Noire this time on Xbox 360. Big big fan od this fantastic game it really captures the feeling of the time and plays out like a film noire (the clue is in the title :lol:). The realistic motion capture on the faces is sometimes so real its scary. The game is very well balanced between investigating crime scenes to questioning suspect and victims all the way to intense shoot outs or tailing a suspect. Playing through the game you really get the feeling of real progression moving up the ranks in the LAPD from beat cop to homicide and all the other departments in between. The soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks I have ever heard an other major factor is creating the atmosphere and vibe of the 40s.

Game 9/10
Visuals 9/10
Music 10/10

Really excited for this shame it's only a digital copy. Fun times ahoy.

Wonder if there's gonna be somekind of bundle with this and the previous game on disc?

Still haven't picked the previous game up and now I've been hesitating because of the possibility of this happening.

woof
 

Luckily it will be released on disc two weeks after its digital release.quite cheap to.

Nice one I will wait for that then I did the same thing with inFamous First Light but it was a longer wait if I remember correctly.

:shooter:

New smilies :)

Amazon says the 5th of May so hopefully not to long.:headache:

I love the red and black artwork they are using so it will be nice to have that.
