Submitted by Feckles 4h ago | news Why Infinity Ward Isn't Talking About Modern Warfare 3 Multiplayer


NowGamer has been speaking with Rob Bowling from Infinity Ward about Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and in particular why it hasn't shown anything of the multiplayer game yet.


Bowling explained, “It’s up and running. We play it every night but multiplayer is that thing that at this point in development, it’s changing every day. We’re constantly putting something in, trying it out, taking it out, reshuffling things for balance… it’s changing every day."


Rumour has it that Modern Warfare 3's multiplayer will be detailed in September at Gamescom.

New Nintendo Wii U has AMD Radeon

As of last night, AMD went on the record telling the world that its GPU is part of the new Nintendo gaming console. Naturally AMD didn't spill any important details about the GPU itself, but it is not a Fusion chip but rather an embedded graphics card. 

The current test phase has to involve a 40 nm prototype chip, something based on the Southern Islands but the real production chip might actually be based on a shrink version in 28nm, codenamed Northern Island. Of course the chip won’t be identical to a real GPU but it will share many similarities.

PlayStation Vita: No Internal Memory Storage, Users Buy Memory Card to Fit Needs

Sony’s PlayStation Vita has a high level of graphical prowess, a stellar list of third-party development partners, and has a lovely, large enhanced resolution screen. There is plenty to love about this new handheld from Sony so far but, in a recent FAQ posting by Sony, it may have one minor flaw that will cause some to grimace in disappointment. 
Do you wish Sony had included an internal memory of moderate size on the Vita or would you rather have it removed so Sony could release the handheld at the low price of $249.99/$299.99?

Retail Easy - 5 Reasons Why the Nintendo Wii U will Fail

Yesterday Nintendo gave their E3 2011 presentation, showed us all what had been under wraps as “Project Cafe” and was now being referred to as the Wii U. A funny name for a new console but we thought that about the Wii when it was first revealed. During the presentation Nintendo showed off the “interesting” new controller and HD graphics but will that be enough to pull off another gaming revolution as they did with the Wii? Well here are 5 reasons it won’t.
  1. Firstly the new controller looks like a dinner plate. its sheer size and shape make it look awkward in the hand 
  2. The size and technology packed into the controller will undoubtedly make it expensive.  who is going to let their 4 year old child run round the living room swinging it above their head?
  3. Surely the next generation of consoles are going to improve graphically, and if the Wii U is only just delivering HD, it will arguably have the same problem of being a generation behind in terms of graphics.
  4. During the press conference Nintendo were keen to show off some of the third party support they have gained for the Wii U. During the press conference Nintendo were keen to show off some of the third party support they have gained for the Wii U. Third party developers are likely to bring titles such as Batman: Arkham City and Assassins Creed to the Wii U although it’s questionable whether it will be enough, Rockstar and Activision haven’t announced their support, meaning immensely popular franchises such as Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty may not make it onto the Wii U, which could further alienate hardcore gamers from Nintendo.
  5. We all know Nintendo are ingenious and are unafraid of pushing the boundaries of gaming to evermore advanced levels. However with the Wii U the question does arise over whether Nintendo have gone step too far? After all, repeating the achievement of a revolutionary gaming moment (as they did with the Wii) will be next to impossible.

E3 2011: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Longer than Predecessor; 360 Version Might Have 3 or More Discs

We all know the fact that Final Fantasy XIII is a huge game as the Xbox 360 version has three discs. With the sequel coming out in Japan by the end of the year and early next year for North America, Xbox 360 owners can expect another FF game that will have multiple disc.
From what we played today, some of the sidequests to expect are similar to what FFXIII has to offer. The L’Cieth will be there in each dungeon to give the player quests and the objectives will pretty much slay the monster. Since what we played are just a demo, it could change on the final version. However, the representative mentioned that sidequests will be a lot better and meaningful than XIII.
