The Diablo III Real Money auction house is released on June 12

Blizzard plans to launch the Diablo III real money auction house on June 12. Initially expected to launch the service on 22 May but was delayed last week because Blizzard thought he needed "a little more time to solve the problems of general stability and gameplay."


For those who do not know yet about the real money auction house in Diablo III, it's something that sounds interesting and will certainly serve as an experiment for future developments. This service will sell and buy weapons, equipment and other items between players for real money, money that Blizzard will take $ 1 for each piece of equipment that players sold. For services as would be the crafting of materials, gems, gold and all that Blizzard considered as "stacking" elements  the company would keep 15% of the cost of the transaction.

Added to this Blizzard will keep another 15% of the transaction if users decide to use third party services such as Paypalto get their money. To avoid this cost players can choose to trust money into your Battle.net account to be used exclusively on Blizzard games and merchandising. To learn more about this as it is always best to address the FAQ for Diablo III.

Remember that this is not the only announced update by Blizzard,  the company will also introduce at some point the expected PVP through a patch, something that will surely make new problems and fanrage, but what would the Internet and video games be without that...

Guild Wars 2 announces its second public beta test

Guild Wars 2 is a title that has caused a lot of expectation because its creators say will change the way you play an MMO, with new features like the elimination of the "holy trinity" of Tank-DPS-Healer and the considerable reduction in addition to grinding return to play an integral part of the story, as "a true RPG."

Remains to be seen if these promises are met for giving us a unique game, but as far as those who have pre-ordered will have the opportunity to sample the world of Tyria for the second time, then NCsoft and ArenaNet have announced the opening of the second phase public beta testing will take place in June from 21:00 pm Friday 8 to 08:59 am on Monday 11.

Participation beta will be announced via e-mail to those who qualify for promotion, but ArenaNet is distributing keys to access through specialized portals and partner sites, so we recommend you to follow on Facebook and Twitter for a chance to win a key .

There is good news for anyone who has participated in the first beta and will not have to start a new character because those created in the first round were not deleted from the server, and who has a level 35 can access the dungeon of the catacombs ascalonianas.

For this second beta test developers promise improvements in capacity and stability of the servers, chat functionality and fixing various bugs, among other things.

The release date of Guild Wars 2 is still to be announced.

Skyrim adds the fighting on horseback in a new update

It's great to see how there is a company that do not get tired to prepare one of the best games of recent years. It is also working on the new The Elder Scrolls Online, and correcting the faults of his latest masterpiece, the people of Bethesda still takes time and desire to keep improving this great jewel that is Skyrim.

Despite all the updates that we had so far, including support for Kinect to shout our magic, Bethesda has announced the update 1.6 of the acclaimed video game, which will include an addition very claimed by followers of the same, fighting on horseback.

Yes, now you can also shout the fus-ro-dah with our own voice, we can attack our enemies from the back of our trusty steed. In addition to this patch will fix a number of bugs they were loose around the game, to make it as round as possible. The patch is now available for PC, and soon will do the same on consoles.

What can I say, I think the great work these people make  still continues, and from here I dedicate the most fervent applause. And of course if you have not tried the game, like  a magician say: run fools!

ArenaNet director tells why Guild Wars 2 will be a different MMO

We have seen MMOs come and go in recent times and several have tried to be those who "destronen World of Warcraft", but Azeroth is still standing with 10 million players waiting faithfully to create a Kung-Fu Panda in the next expansion.

Why these games have failed in their mission? Even Star Wars: The Old Republic, with all the machinery of Electronic Arts behind him and that $ 200 million development cost has been losing subscribers.

As most experts agree is that these games, despite obvious differences, follow the same formula as WoW established there in 2004 (although it is not by far the inventor of these mechanics) so it's hard to excel in a genre where the pattern appears and is checked.

That's why Christopher Lye, ArenaNet's global director thinks the only way to be a real alternative is to break some paradigms, take risks and try something truly different, and this is what it purports to Guild Wars 2.

In an interview with Gamasutra, Lye said that the MMO's should be seen as a platform and a set of technologies and not as a design model for games. This limitation of vision has made "barely scratched the surface of possibilities," the problem is a lack of change in the design of MMOs, and Guild Wars 2 is a reaction to that.

One of those changes to be is how the players relate to the story, which will be more focused on personal experience through the use of instances while world history will be lived through shared dynamic events all players.

Something else that GW2 plans to change may sound almost sacrilegious for the community and what Lye called "holy trinity" of tank, DPS and healing, there won't be a class dedicated to healing, instead all professions will get healing skills, what "free the players from that dependancy so there will be more creativity in groups and tactics."

Marvel Comics continues its MMO Marvel Heroes

Marvel Comics has long since been preparing their own MMO called in the beginnig Marvel Universe Online and is now known as Marvel Heroes. The project was being canceled because of disagreements between the original developers Cryptic Studios and publisher, but now has new vigor.

The game is being developed by Gazillion Entertainment and will come in the form Free to Play where micro-transactions will be available but subscribers will not have to pay anything to access the content, which is excellent news.

The MMO will have the peculiarity that users can unlock characters from a long list of super heroes of the house of ideas and play with them, unlike its counterpart DC Universe Online, where you create an original character you can choose to a hero or villain as his mentor. Presumably there will also be creating original characters but no information was given about it until now.

Brian Michael Bendis (House of M, Secret Invasion, Dark Avengers, Ultimate X-Men)-one of the most prolific writers of today, has been responsible for shaping the new world mythology of which revolve around a plan from the villain Doctor Doom will take place in "iconic locations and scenes drawn from classic Marvel comics history."

Regarding the technical details, Marvel Heroes will use Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games although we have no release date.

Gazillion Entertainment and Marvel developed a game called Marvel Super Hero Squad Online with characters "chibi" or Super Deformed and is aimed at younger audiences.

Below the images of the characters have been revealed so far:

Diablo III is the most pre-ordered game in Amazon history

Veteran gamers have been waiting to see released Diablo III, the sequel to one of those games left in the hearts of millions of gamers for their deep level of detail, gameplay and story, Diablo II. This means that thousands of players have already made ​​a reservation of this game, but thanks to the folks at Joystiq we learned that not all reservations have been made ​​through Battle.net, Blizzard service, many have been made through Amazon, Diablo III is now the game with the highest pre-sales in the history of this site.

An Amazon representative stated that Diablo III "it became the PC game most pre ordered in the history of Amazon.com, surpassing even the pre sales of other Blizzard games such as StarCraft II  and WOW: Cataclysm. "

It seems to have been a good year for Amazon pre-sales since Black Ops 2 achieved on the first day it was announced as many pre-sales the first Black Ops and even surpassed Modern Warfare 3.

Anyway, this month for the first time i dont care what part of my salary go to hell...

The development of the RPG Game of Thrones began long before the TV series

George R.R. Martin has had immense care about Game of Thrones and the universe of "A Song of Ice and Fire", his popular series of books, and to whom gives the license to market his creation or take it to other media. this is one reason why the TV series produced by HBO is now an amazing worldwide phenomenon that has infiltrated the geek culture and beyond, while being transmitted by a pay channel.

It is therefore not surprising that the RPG game Cyanide Studios is preparing to have the same care, is that the study takes 7 years preparing the title in a time when the television series was "but a rumor." Martin has been closely linked to the project ensuring that the play reflects his view of that world of intrigue, murder and drama where we are constantly recommended that we prepare, as winter approaches.

Because it takes so much time in planning, it is possible to see the characters do not reflect 100% of the features we see on television incarnations, but the developers assure us that its essence lies in the creations of Martin, but also have surprises between the development of their adventures and missions as they wanted to include some elements that might surprise the players, despite having read the books.

Some previews have shown that the graphics could be considered as nothing out of this world and apparently the game has a few hours of play, but still have to see if this release has the quality that books and television series has accustomed us . Hope so.

Game of Thrones will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC beginning this May 15 in North America and in the first week of June for Europe.

Avengers: Battle for Earth will be released for Wii U and Kinect

Marvel Comics teams up with Ubisoft to launch the title The Avengers: Battle for Earth, which will be available for U Wii and Xbox 360 Kinect from this fall, although no exact date.

 

The game will unfold around the comics event "Secret Invasion" that took place in 2008 and where green aliens able to change shape called Skrulls, have been gradually replacing many of the super heroes of the Marvel Universe by their own agents to invade earth.

During the story we will see more than 20 characters but so far there are only four confirmed as available for use: Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk.
Tony Key, vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft Quebec says:
 
"Fans of the Marvel universe and superhero games will love the extensive combination of characters, controlled movements with the body and competitive gameplay."

Secret Invasion is a crossover whose story line has nothing to do with the recent film The Avengers, but surely the success it is having on theaters will serve as a good springboard to get better sales.

And another thing that strikes me curious ... what capabilities the Wii U will truly have  if a game can be adapted to both the new Nintendo console and the Kinect? At least clear that they are two completely different forms of gameplay, but if so, why not release it to the PS3 too? We have to wait and see...

Confirmed release date for Dishonored

Bethesda Softworks announced the release date of Dishonored, located in a a new set of  Steampunk Assasins developed by Arkane Studios. The game is coming to U.S. on October 9 and 12 to Europe for PC, Xbox360 and PS3.

Although we have not received much informción, we had the opportunity to see the cover of the PC version and new images that accompanied the release trailer we saw a few days ago, all these elements give us more guidance on how the Dishonored gameplay will be . The game promises several ways to accomplish our murders, either in an open and loud way or silently and furtively, including the possibility of using a kind of invisible force to stop or beat our enemies, work as a sniper with a crossbow or fly in pieces the enemy using grenades.

For those who do not know about the story of this game, You will take the role of a  imperial guard unjustly imprisoned for the murder of the Empress of Dunwall an European city, which has a beautiful cyberpunk aesthetic. Inside prison our character is visited by a misterious man that will give him the freedom and opportunity for revenge, marking him with a strange symbol on his hand. that gives supernatural powers.
