FINAL FANTASY XIV – Upcoming MMO from Square Enix

Square Enix announced at E3 2009 that FINAL FANTASY XIV, an all-new massively-multiplayer roleplaying game (MMORPG) for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows®, is planned for simultaneous global release in 2010.

Adventure begins anew in the vast realm of Eorzea!

VISIT THEIR OFFICIAL WEBSITE!

The battle and job systems will be different than the one previously used in Final Fantasy XI, which utilized experience points, and that the character races and monsters will resemble those found in Final Fantasy XI to allow players to create avatars similar to ones created inFinal Fantasy XI. Group play has been de-emphasized, and now solo and group play have been balanced. Weapon use will alter “character development”. Square Enix is looking for a way to allow users to transfer their game names to the new MMO. The developers say that, in addition to Final Fantasy XI, they have been influenced in the games creation by World of Warcraft, Age of Conan and Warhammer Online, but most of all by player feedback. Chocobos will also return, but in a very different role from Final Fantasy XI where they were steeds.

Sony announces new PS3 motion controller

Sony just announced the rumored new motion controller for the PS3 — the prototype looks like a wand with a color-changing ball on top. It’s designed to work in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye, with the wand overlaid on-screen with a weapon or tool. Unlike Microsoft’s Project Natal, Sony says they’ve learned “some experiences need buttons,” which is why there’s still a controller involved. The system is said to be “sub-millimeter” precise, and it was demoed drawing and playing a shooter — it’s sort of the middle ground between Natal and Wii Motion Plus. Sony says it’ll launch in the spring of 2010, but we don’t know what pricing will be like yet.

World of Sporecraft

A new life simulation game developed by Maxis, Spore, really hits the spot. A few months back when I saw my friend play this game I just thought it was just another game developed by unknown developer. After a few disappointments like Need for Speed Pro Street, I just giving up buying a new game and stick to World of Warcraft, until my friend told me that this game is a huge hit in his campus, everybody seems excited to play it.

So I googled it, found out that this game was developed by Maxis. So I decided to try it. First impression, The Sims look-alike but in different perspective. Instead of creating a human, we creating our own weird looking creature. Consists of six stages; in first stage you have to make sure your creature cell get enough food by eating plant cell (for herbivore), meat cell (for carnivore) or both (for omnivore). Then your creature will evolve, you will get new body parts. So, your creature will keep on evolving to tribal stage, civilization stage, and soon to the outer space. Your journey actually began during this stage where you have to explore a vast galaxy and millions of planets (but you don’t have to go to each planet).

But I didn’t expect this game will give a huge impact until I found this site:

http://www.sporetube.com/

Spore fans seem to create this website and upload videos about their creation. I was shocked they created zealot and battlecruiser from Stracraft. And they even created World of warcraft characters out of it! Watch Murloc in action!:

World’s first Level 80 Death Knight?

(Article by Zach Yonzon, WoW Insider)

A screenshot and a quick Armory check shows that Dessembrae of Mazrigos-EU is quite possibly the world’s first Level 80 Death Knight. Unless proven otherwise, Dessembrae earned the feat at around 19:00 CET. Deathknight.info, the resource for all things Death Knight, reports the achievement after making a call-out to all Death Knight enthusiasts. It appears that Dessembrae overtook Arello, whose Death Knight reportedly hit 70 ahead of everyone else.

It’s quite apparent that the early launch of the game in European realms proved to be too much of a hurdle for US realm-based players as most major achievements were obtained by European players such as the first player to Level 80, and even the mastery of all current PvE content. With most world first and realm first Achievements getting snapped up, it looks as though it’ll soon be time for most players to settle into a more comfortable groove. That is, um, maybe actually enjoying the scenery.
