New: Left4Dead 2 Dark Carnival Campaign

(Edit, to draft, Slurp)

Copy this whole post to another site

cancel
sending request

The wraps have been taken off Left 4 Dead 2’s funland setting, with information on new special infected, settings, objectives and…clowns.

The campaign – Dark Carnival – takes place across a variety of locations, from a hillside to a hotel to the carnival itself, where Valve promises that some of the attractions will be actually be functioning, and playable.

As far as new stuff goes, there’s a new t-shirt for Ellis, an electric guitar to use as a melee weapon, a clown zombie that’s able to call other zombies over to him and a new special infected: the jockey. Who does what a jockey zombie would be expected to do, and jumps on a survivor’s back. To ride them.

While a jockey is on a survivor’s back, the player loses control, and is usually steered away from their pals and towards a horde of zombies.

Diablo 3 New Class: Monk, Details

current classes

Blizzard Entertainment revealed a new Monk character class for upcoming action-RPG Diablo III on Friday.

“I’m proud to introduce the new Diablo III playable class, with all of its open-handed Tiger Strike fury,” said Chris Metzen, Blizzard’s vice president of development. He introduced the first trailer and gameplay footage for the character class at BlizzCon, the company’s annual fan convention held at the Anaheim Convention Center.

“That definitely gets the old juices going,” said Metzen of the trailer, which showed a Monk in an epic battle with a demon. In the gameplay footage, the Monk used high-speed melee attacks to shatter his enemies and splatter blood.

The new Monk class joins the already-known character classes of Barbarian, Witch Doctor and Wizard, and is now playable at BlizzCon.

Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 to Support Pseudo LAN

Battle.net developer Greg Canessa says that Blizzard is actively working on a LAN-like solution to include for Battle.net play in StarCraft II.

“We are working on solutions with regard to things we can do to maintain connectivity to Battle.net in some way, but also provide a great quality connection between players,” said Canessa.

Blizzard recently announced that traditional LAN play would not be included in the game, with offline play only being allowed in the singleplayer campaign.

I asked Canessa whether the solution his team is working on might include a pseudo-LAN connection, where the game would only check in with Battle.net to authenticate before reverting to typical LAN behavior.

“Something like that,” he replied. “Maintaining a connection with Battle.net, I don’t know if it’s once or periodically, but then also having a peer-to-peer connection between players to facilitate a very low-ping, high-bandwidth connection.. those are the things that we’re working on.”

Diablo III lead designer Jay Wilson also confirmed that Diablo III will treat LAN in the same way that StarCraft II does, meaning that while traditional offline LAN will not be included in that game, it should support any Battle.net solution developed for the RTS.

Sony’s Motion Controller Updates

Sony may not have done another full-on demonstration of its Motion Controller at this week’s big Gamescom event, but it did at least put together a little video showing off some of its progress, and GameTrailers has now thankfully obtained the goods so everyone not there can have a peek. Of course, there’s not exactly a whole lot in the way of actual new details, but we do get a glimpse of plenty of new potential applications for the controller, including using it as a paint brush, a magic wand, a torch, a bat to smash a pinata, or even an all-in-one hairstyling tool. Head on past the break to check it out for yourself.

SLi on P45!

Intel X58 is the First and only non-NVIDIA chipset to get SLI technology, and the users of Intel X38/X48/P45 motherboards probably hate the fact that their hardware doesn’t support SLI. However, everything has changed now…

One reader named Firewings [CCG] at Expreview forum (Chinese version) has figured out the way to get SLI support for its Asus Maximus Formula motherboard based on Intel X38 chipset, with one NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT and one GeForce GTX 260 graphics card.

Expreview.com has contacted the reader and run a quick test for validation. We chose Intel QX9650 OC (4GHz) CPU, Asus Maximus II Formular motherboard, one Yeston GeForce GTX260+ 896GD3, and one Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ graphics card for the test.
