NBA 2K13 pits Barkley against Durant with 2012 and 1992 Olympic ... - Digitaltrends.com

NBA 2K13 focuses on new players rather than vintage, but that isn't stopping the 1992 Olympic Dream Team from putting in an appearance.

The London Olympics closed on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop living the Olympic dream. Don’t stop rocking that happy hour for Olympic basketball games if you don’t want to! 2K Sports is actually going to lend you a helping hand come October when NBA 2K13 comes out, as the game will sport USA’s basketball teams both new and old.

The 2012 USA Basketball Men’s National Team—their official, unwieldy title—will be featured in the latest version of 2K’s annual NBA series. Since classic NBA players have become such an important part of the series, it’s not too surprising that the 1992 Olympic Dream Team that included Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley and other superstars of the era will also make it into the game.

Turns out 2K13’s guest producer Jay Z insisted. “As executive producer, letting fans go head to head with these legendary USA teams was extremely important to Jay Z,” reads 2K’s press release.

There you have it. Not just Olympic basketball action but vintage Olympic basketball action, so adjust your Olympics Drinking Game rules appropriately.

Cool that the ’92 Dream Team is in there but 2K Sports and Jay Z should consider a more significant basketball match up from 1992 for inclusion: Godzilla versus Barkley.

Drink up, it's #LochteNation - The Independent Florida Alligator

AppId is over the quota

The pre-, mid- and post-Olympics news coverage may have subsided, but lucky for Gainesville residents, Ryan Lochte can still be a part of our daily lives. Here’s a drinking game to celebrate.

#LochteNation

If you’re pregaming on a time crunch, you should probably go straight to his Twitter feed and drink every time you see: #jeah and you’d rather see #yolo, a desperate plea for a retweet from a 20-something female, any instance of shameless promotion for a product he might have gotten for free and any instance of shameless promotion for a Ryan Lochte signature product (for example: the highly anticipated “Lochte Hardcore” workout video — now available for pre-order). Enjoy your night out, and I’m sorry in advance if you roll over the next morning and see three Doritos Locos Tacos wrappers on your bedroom floor — remember your “real self” wouldn’t make that decision, so it doesn’t count.

The Grill

It’s platinum, bears a slight resemblance to our flag and can often be found in Ryan Lochte’s mouth. If you see something gleaming near his head and it’s not a medal, it’s probably his grill, and you need to drink. Whether you see it in a picture, in real life or in your mind’s eye, grab a drink and grin while you chug. You have to keep grinning as you’re chugging.

SPOTTED

Our boy likes to party, and UF students love to document it with their smartphones. Your Facebook news feed is probably more than familiar with blurry mobile uploads of your friend sweating next to Ryan Lochte. Drink for however many “likes” the picture gets.

Be Your Own Olympian

Grab your pal Michael (everybody knows at least one Michael) and start drinking bottles of beer. The first person to reach 11 (Lochte’s medal count) wins, and the loser has to turn the winner’s beer bottle caps into 11 individual necklaces — now you can feel like an Olympian too.

Real-Life Encounter

If you’re lucky enough to see him in real life, you have one simple task: drink enough truth serum to walk up and confess to him — regardless if you’re a dude or a chick— that you’ve been crushing on him since Athens. It may not be your opinion, but it’s the general consensus of the world. Be a global Gator. #LochteWorld

Thus we saw 13 FIFA and other new games of EA in your Showcase... - ENTER.CO

So were the three most important titles that EA bet to close the year. Image: ENTER.CO

Last Thursday was held the first official presentation of the aces under the sleeve that has EA by the end of 2012. He is expected that the company closed a year end with a flourish. Each of the presented games has direct competence as Call of Duty: Black Ops II and PES 2013, that might be the best releases of this year. Although mentioned many more games, the big night were three: Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and FIFA 2o13. We had the opportunity to test them and talking with some members of their development teams.

The game has greatly improved over its previous version. First thing they did the developers when they presented 2013 FIFA was to recognize that the last version had several errors, seeking to correct this. Competition that has in recent years PES has forced the creators to put the batteries, especially in what refers to the technical capabilities of the game: the players, the artificial intelligence of the machine, handling laboratory moves, free kicks, among other things.

That is the bastion that offers FIFA 2013. Technical capabilities of the players are much improved: do diagonal, long passes, walls and individual moves feels much more easy and natural. FIFA inherits and improves the style of players, the celebration of goals and individual stars touch; features that Konami, with its most recognized players identity engine, has given many turns in PES 2013.

The bad thing is that this game we still have forgotten to Latin Americans. Leagues of this continent do not appear on any side, which for some is still a sadness. The Champions League and the Copa Libertadores are still in the hands of PES, which prevents that the two most important annual clubs tournaments to play in the game. The 2013 FIFA representative at the event told us that this year the game was focused above all on improving the technical capacities and the narrators of the previous version, which he says are things that most users complained.

After having seen and played demos that they have come from PES 2013 and have had the opportunity to try the last title of FIFA, I can say that more innovation by the title of EA compared to last year's version feels. As always this ends reduced to personal taste, but for my part I recommend more FIFA to PES this year.

The game is elegant: spectacular graphics, beautiful cars and adrenaline. Basically, what comprises any good game carts. A series of games with the experience and track record that has Need For Speed should be pioneer and lead the way to be followed by all racing games, but it seems that they are still betting on the same style of play always.

It is not that it is bad, is a game that is going to offer the good that has racing games, and in the end is part of a family that has spent years doing very well. But Most Wanted feels like a game that not much risk: more takedowns, more nitro, more cars to collect; and what bet you are things that they don't feel as a great step towards a game better racing.

The main improvement that promises the game is a new multiplayer system, in which the user will compete day and night against his friends in a fierce, strong and dedicated manner. Basically if you are the worst among his friends, will go very wrong: the game shall remind you all the time - even when it is in the middle of a race - who is the best. This can be as an interesting incentive for competition, which no doubt can return it very addictive for some.

Another thing that offers is the integration between all the versions that are of this title available on the market. The user can get the version for iOS, Android, PS Vita and the game PS3, and all the progress that go to accumulate will be stored in the cloud in a single game. The bad thing is that to take advantage of this integration you must buy the game on each of these platforms individually, which makes it a great expense I do not know if it is worth your while.

Another dinosaur of the industry. A good game, with one of the largest and most difficult of the industry today competences, and the enormous challenge of surviving in this war. What can I tell them? With regard to the previous title, the progress is great, Yes. With regard to competition, the progress already sees more blurred.

This title was expanded in enormous proportions: more weapons, more character classes, more countries involved in the war and more game options. The demonstration had no chance to see the game multiplayer, but only the version of individual campaign. With respect to this last they assure us that Medal of Honor is a series that takes time on the market and is a leader in involving the gamer with the protagonist of the story.

If one is fair and inevitably think release approaching of Call of Duty: Black Ops II and the threat posed to this game, you cannot give you the go-ahead to purchase this title without before thinking twice. Although the title of EA promises a unique solid story between this type of game is not really the only one who makes it. The first part of Black Ops already was an example of this, and the second, as she has already been seen, will be even better. Feels that Medal of Honor is trying to fit into a series of games in which has failed as placed and make your own place.

The expectation for Call of Duty Black Ops 2 collapses - GamerZona (blog)

The survey carried out by the CVG website reveals that the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 does not create the same excitement that made the previous entries, not into the list of the 10 most anticipated games. It is simply a survey, but it may be a telling sign.

With Modern Warfare 3 not yet released, many users and any other analyst claimed that the Call of Duty franchise had reached its peak, and that were already the first signs of which to this day remains the most successful signing of the video game industry. Many blamed this apparent crisis to a lack of major news title after title. However, AC was responsible for demonstrating that the franchise by much criticism received, was still able to beat its own records of sale.

But one thing were the results in the market and another sensation that was giving the franchise. And this idea of a certain crisis or deadlock was still present, since, despite their tremendous success, Modern Warfare 3 failed to conquer the heart of many of its users.

Now it is the turn of Black Ops 2, which created a great expectation in the moments that began talking about the new Call of Duty. An expectation that was in crescendo with its official announcement.

However, by one hand, once shown videos, screenshots and new details on a title that promise great innovations, the interest of the public seems to have not reached the dimensions in which we were exactly a year ago, with the release of AC to view.

Now, the recent survey carried out by the CVG portal among its readers, seems to confirm that kind of stagnation in the expectation raised by Call of Duty. And it is that, as it can be seen in the outcome on the most anticipated games that are to come, Black Ops 2 is not listed among the top ten, declining even as 15th.

The list, as we said, is led by the new GTA V, that consolidates as well as the title of the most anticipated, exceeding a certain margin to the recently presented Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. Thirdly, the new great jewel of Naughty Dog, The Last of Us, sharing with Assassin's Creed IIIscore. Closes this privileged list expected BioShock: Infinite.

It is true that it is a simple survey carried out by a portal, but could be considered perfectly as an indication that he would support the thesis of the Call of Duty franchise is showing signs of fatigue, and it does not generate the interest that does well little caused.

Do you you think? Do you really think that CoD is going through a real crisis? What do you think would be the causes of this hypothetical impasse? You do not forget to leave your comment and participate in our Forum.

Medal Of Honor: Warfighter, avance - ABC.es

Two years have passed since Electronic Arts decided to relaunch the saga Medal Of Honor, that once face to face competing with Call Of Duty in the nonsense genre of the second world war-based shooters. However, the return of the franchise ended up not being as good as expected and therefore now returning to try again with Medal Of Honor: Warfighter.

Your argument will take the player to the international Tier 1 elite team of the best soldiers from different countries of the world. Throughout the game, we will travel throughout the world reviving current terrorist attacks at the hands of teams such as the American Seals, UK SAS or the Spetsgruppa Russians, among others.

Warfighter will be fully developed by Danger Close Games, unlike the previous installment which multiplayer mode was designed separately by says. To do this, the development team has been reinforced with dicefrom industry veterans, creators of Battlefield 3, or Treyarch, developers of Call Of Duty: Back Ops, among others. Also come with the added power of Frostbite 2.0, the graphic engine that makes possible the spectacular graphics of latest consignment of Battlefield.

The stark reality

Danger Close Games wants to offer an experience as close as possible to the soldiers they live real and so have an argument written by a Tier 1 real soldier. Warfighter seeks to be a close look and staff in the fight against the global terrorist threat, where the player can experience events such as the rescue of hostages in the Philippines or the threat of pirates off the Somali coast.

According to Greg Goodrich, producer of the title, ' everything there is in the game: each mission, each event, each place which we are going to have a storyline with something that happened in reality. " "When the players go to Internet and search in Google about these places you will find all the data from all what happened to the good people that lived there".

Danger Close Games developers want to show the war in the most crude way, showing the player the chaos that is found in the middle of a shootout, and so neglected the graphics engine UnrealEngine to make way for the one used in Battlefield 3. «How Believest it would be hidden somewhere full of trees, mud and water shooting?» wondered Goodrich, and adds: "would be a real disaster, it would be dirty and grotesque.» «Therefore we wanted to reflect that with an engine that allows us to show constant splashes of water, the intensity of the cross-fire and the pressure to see how everything falls on you».

Best in company

Action online games are currently at its point of greatest fame since the creation of the genre. Therefore, both Electronic Arts and Danger Close Games are with special emphasis to incorporate new features to the multiplayer mode of Medal Of Honor: Warfighter.

As in Battlefield 3, players may choose between different classes, divided into assault, sniper, demolition, Point Man, heavy gunner and special operations. Each class has several special forces and each of them will have the weapon used in the reality. However, each class can unlock different weapons, being possible to use some of them in another class of different soldier.

The class of soldier that we choose will define our speed running, our agility of movement and other factors, such as the ability to unlock unique support actions. In addition, each class has a particular skill, as it is the case of the thermal vision of special operations soldiers.

Another novelty is a system of so-called pairing Fire Team. Each team, consisting of 10 players, will have small patrols of two players. These players may see other information at all times, perceiving her silhouette through the walls and even reappear next to teammate after being shot. This system emphasizes the team play and the use of the environment and fire suppression for between several players flanking maneuvers.

As was the case with Battlefield 3, has been particular interest in increasing the number of weapons and accessories to customize it. Medal Of Honor: Warfighter allows to choose between different brands of equipment, optical, chargers, guns and accessories tactical camouflage, among other options. Also added new bouts of points system inherited from the previous delivery, as the offensive air support, or the possibility of calling a transport helicopter that allows the rest of the players on your team appear in that position in the map.

Finally, add new game modes focused on cooperation. One of them suggested that one of the teams perform various missions, while the other must ensure that the mission is not carried out. Also other modes have been confirmed as assault in computer and control of the sector, lack of knowing the rest of available modes.

Medal Of Honor: Warfighter goes on sale October 23 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, weeks before the release of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2, its main competition.
