Resident Evil: Revelations Getting A Console Release

[amazon_link id=”B0050SVLI2″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Resident Evil: Revelations[/amazon_link] is making the jump from 3DS to consoles. The handheld adventure released last year for Nintendo’s 3DS and sold well enough (or bad enough) to warrant a port over to home consoles. The game will release on May 21st for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC.

The game will receive an HD upgrade (duh) as well as new playable characters, new weapons and difficulty level not found in the handheld version.

PS3 Owners Will Finally Get Skyrim DLC

Rejoice Playstation owners! Rejoice!

Bethsda has apparently solved the conundrum that is PS3 programming and figured out how to make the downloadable content work for [amazon_link id=”B004HYK8Y8″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Skyrim[/amazon_link].

In February Bethesda will release all three DLC packs (Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn) to the Playstation Store. For the first week of release all three packs will be 50% off which, to me, seems like a kick in the nuts to PS3 owners. People who have bought this game on November 11, 2011 (granted they haven’t given up by now) have encountered problem after problem including the game basically being broken and unplayable. Then you add onto that crap sandwich with Bethesda saying they could not figure out how to port the DLC onto the PS3 and now after a year of waiting and problems you only have these packs being 50% off…..for a week?? Not even free for PS Plus subscribers?

Let’s hope none of these problems exist when Fallout 4 eventually releases on the PS4.

White Playstation 3 Coming Stateside

Finally!

North America will finally be able to pick up the super slim white version of the [amazon_link id=”B009DYE3JI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Playstation 3[/amazon_link] on January 27th. The system will come with a 500GB hard drive and one year of Playstation Plus service for $299.99. The Playstation Plus service is Sony’s online program which gives you access to demos early, discounts in the Playstation Store and best of all, an Instant Games Library where you can download a host of popular titles to your hard rive to play free of charge. Playstation Plus is $50 a year so you are in reality paying only $250 for this beauty.

So for those of you that prefer your Playstation’s less Vader and more stormtrooper, today is your day.

Dust 514 Open Beta Set For January 22

CCP Games has been hard at work for years on Dust 514, a first-person shooter set in their massive multiplayer online game, Eve Online. It is one of the most ambitious projects undertaken in gaming history by taking the already established universe and the very real in-game economy that has thrived on PC for years and create a shooter in the same universe that will have an effect on gameplay and economy for the Playstation 3.

Now the company is ready to begin the open beta process on January 22nd. The closed beta took place during the summer of last year and CCP is now in the process of merging their servers to have both games be part of the same universe. As a reward for closed beta members, if anyone plays a match before the January 22nd open beta they will be awarded with an extra 100,000 skill points for equipment upgrades.

No release date has been given for Dust 514 but the biggest seeling point for the title is that it will be free to play when it launches on the PS3.
