What is the most difficult case to solve? Square Enix intrigued us with the recent announcement of Murdered: Soul Suspect, a investigation title inspired in major references as LA Noire from what the editor has begun promoting social networking. Now, they go further by publishing the first teaser trailer of what is expected of the game. And the answer... The most complicated mystery to solve is ...
Your own death. It would be a bit difficult to come back to life after being killed, but it seems the mystery extends beyond first appearances. This new teaser trailer, which only offers video scenes without more, seems aimed at early development but could still appear in the form of next generation at some imminent event. The announcement of this original IP is preceded by several images published on Twitter and also on a website that the Japanese company released a few days ago and hid several tracks.
All we know for sure is that this is a video game for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and it seems is being developed by Eidos Montreal, as was seen in the source code of that game's website.
Is it possible to investigate our own murder? Does earthly place so great? Is there life after death? These questions, along with many others, seems that might have some kind of answer when Square Enix decided to reveal a larger project aimed at Western audiences to Japanese.
If you thought the action of creating a simple map for Counter-Strike was as dangerous as going to the supermarket, think again. Canadiendes authorities, exactly Transportation Society of Montreal, is preparing to sue several modder for creating, without permission, a map for Counter Strike: Global Offensive set in a Montreal subway station.
Le Journal de Montreal newspaper that has been able to talk to the modders who created the controversial map for the game, collect part of the absurdity in which the issue has become. Liatis Diego, Frédéric Denis and his friends are preparing for a tournament of Counter Strike: Global Offensive and it will take place in March at the beautiful city of Montreal. The boys have decided to pay tribute to their city by creating a simple map set in the station Berri-UQAM metro Montreal, owned by the demanding Societe of Transport.
As good guys, initially sought permission from the Society of Transportation to recreate a map for the game said, surprised at the negative response... and like art escapes the authorities they decided to go ahead with the project. Not yet released the map, it will in March in that tournament, but the Transport Company has threatened them that if they publish this map they will sue them and ask $ 50,000.
Modders themselves, along with the nonsense, have declared that the Transport Company quoted are afraid that the map would cause chaos among users of the metro network in the city, and that this map would help to know terrorists how the facilities are. Liatis Diego replied that if a terrorist wanted to know how these facilities looks "they should only have to buy a metro ticket."
So beware, do not even think to recreate the map of your favorite supermarket, you could be helping the terrorists going to do the weekly shopping.
If there is a study that gets to move the masses with his statements, is Crytek. They recently caught claiming that the first games of the next generation would be compare to Crysis 3, now they argue that the alleged PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 will not compete in power with the current high-end PC.
Cevat Yerli, one of the main authors of the study, has been adamant with Eurogamer British media, noting that despite being under a confidentiality agreement, he is not very satisfied with the final specifications of the successors to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Why? Simply because he ensures that these new consoles will not be able equated with a high-end PC, and as a reason puts on the table the issue of price. Clarifies that a closed system as a gaming platform that adapts to consumers, both in specifications and price, you will never be able to compete against each other in power with a high-end PC is focused on other users and a different orientation in their prices.
Obviously if a high-end PC worth 2000 euros, it is unthinkable that a $ 500 console can compete in features and, therefore, in specifications. Well, we all know that a console, with far less power than a PC game can move similarly regarding compatible, basically because it consumes resources much lower compared to that required in performance PC.
If these statements and Crytek is making us see that we will not wait for anything special in terms of power with the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft, there will be many disappointments. These statements contradict those made a few days ago by Epic Games, they assured that there would be a visual leap.
The first major company to move a card will be Sony this coming Wednesday, with the introduction of its new PlayStation 4 in style. Since that day we'll see if Crytek's words are meaningless.

The truth is that since the announcement by Ubisoft video, we have not know much of the game, and perhaps that is why we are surprised that GameStop has received a billboard with some information.

The title was originally announced for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but these intentions could also open the door to a rumored release for Wii U and even for the new consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
After the departure platform of Legends Rayman, it could be some sort of secret agreement between Ubisoft and Nintendo for the promising title of action, espionage and hacking also reach Nintendo platform, which also lend itself well to watching gameplay GamePad functionalities.
The E3 seems the timing to show more on this game, you might end up getting a movie like Prince of Persia or Assassins Creed gala knowing that the editor a few weeks ago recorded several records related to Watch Dogs film.
