@epicbattleaxe Hey i just noticed that BioWare is following EBA. Sweet! =)

@epicbattleaxe I think Mass Effect 1 should be released along with 2 as they go together as part of one big story.

@epicbattleaxe totally random but Red Dead online cheaters are pathetic and piss me off. If they can’t win without modding, stop playing

jpreynolds37
@epicbattleaxe what the heck Brent? Dante’s Inferno being a GOW clone is a bad thing, but Castlevania LOS being one is good? come on

SilverPR
@epicbattleaxe Scandal, TV ad for 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII was using PS3 version footage.

@epicbattleaxe forcefeedback is great but kinda hard to find on the website. I had to use search. Maybe make a link in the podcast menu?

Svenn16 – I do miss tony but it seems they only invite epic people to this podcast

GlowingDemon - nice ep this week, I kinda miss tony but I think the new guy should become the new forth member of the group.

Igott – After the big flag at the beginning I couldn’t see anything the whole time. But all what i have heard was rly nice. Good epi.

Zaldare – Great show, and im definatly looking forward to the new Bioshock due to the simple fact that they’re giving themselves a new fresh start on the franchise. Somethimes going back to square one is the best of choice when the previous game relied to much on its predecessor.

Pathogen666 – Subscription based multiplayer is BS. I bought the game for 60 bucks, please just let me enjoy it for free now that I own it.

Trickery – Including Wayne Newton in the new Fallout has the be the most random shit ever. I know this is the future, but maybe all that plastic surgery actually helps him survive nuclear strikes :/

there are games that are action/adventures with RPG elements incorperated into the gameplay. There are FPSs with leveling mechanics included, but is there a game out there that blends EVERY single genre together and does a pretty good job of it (or not)?
We’re talking about a game that contains Sport, Simulation, FPS, Action/Adventure, RPG, Driving/racing, Puzzle, Platform, Rhythm, Fighting and Arcade elements within it.

ShadyInversion

The earliest and most comprehensive one I can think of was Banjo-Tooie. It had a mixture of platforming, RPG, FPS, Vehicle combat, puzzles, railshooting, ect. This game really had it all and working fairly well two generations ago. Too bad Rare died. I hear there’s a company with the name but it’s just an acronym for: Rare Always Resists Expectations.

EBC – Skirmish 068: Contributing to the Fat

"Viking Brent" Adams — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:35:53 +0000

Knives at the ready and make for the shore, its time for another edition of EpicBattleCry! In this week’s skirmish we take a look at the first (and free) DLC for MAG, Skate 3‘s May release date, the St. Lucia DLC for Dante’s Inferno, the Need for Speed World beta, and the Splinter Cell: Conviction demo that snuck out recently.

On the main course this week, we examine the recent debacle with Ubisoft and their DRM scheme which cut off thousands of players from single-player titles like Assassin’s Creed 2 on PC. We ask the tough questions; who is DRM hurting more pirates or players? How much money did Ubisoft spend to prevent paying customers from playing their games? Can we somehow blame Bobby Kotick?

The Battle Cry of the Week goes to the rumor of an Xbox 360 Slim, Arcade Aid, the latest viral ad for Tron: Legacy, Lead and Gold, and trailers that give away the whole game before it even hits the streets.

Sound off below if you’ve got a comment on this episode or click here to leave us a Battle Cry! Stay sharp.

Note: our streaming server is having some issues at the moment, so we’re using the GameTrailers embedded player until the problem is sorted.

Dante's Inferno DLC Info, Media Update

"TheAxeWielder" — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:15:31 +0000

So we’ve know for a little while now about the “let’s mix this shit up!” DLC for Dante’s Inferno that allows for custom co-op and content creation along with the introduction of the bad-ass looking St. Lucia, but today we’re getting WAY more info on the content via several new vids and screens.

Recently, on behalf of GameTrailers, I had the chance to snag an in-depth interview about the content, get a walkthrough showcasing it in action, and deliver some raw gameplay for your viewing pleasure. Those vids, along with these screens, should be enough to get you fully up to speed on the Trials of St. Lucia DLC for Dante’s Inferno. Once you’re all caught up, let us know what you think about the content in the comments below. Personally, I think it’s pretty interesting that the devs went in this direction instead of just adding more single-player content which would seem like the easy way out. Not that that would be bad, it’s just that this seems sorta…risky! I like that!!! What about you?

The DLC is set to launch on April 29th in the US.

uREVIEW: Dante's Inferno

"TheAxeWielder" — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:58:29 +0000

Empowering the EBA Community with a voice to collaboratively review the industry’s hottest titles, the EpicBattleAxe.com uREVIEW (about) delivers real insight from real gamers about The GOOD, The BAD, and The UGLY pertaining to the biggest games in the world. This is the EpicBattleAxe.com uREVIEW for Dante’s Inferno. Let’s get started:

FACTS:

Publisher: Electronic Arts | Developer: Visceral Games
Genre(s): Action, Adventure
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Release Date: February 9, 2010
Platforms: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Official Website

GAME SUMMARY:

Dante’s Inferno tells an adapted story that focuses on delivering a blockbuster 3rd person action game experience while bringing Alighieri’s depiction of Hell to the medium. Players assume the role of Dante, who descends into Hell after returning home to find his beloved Beatrice murdered, with Lucifer seducing her soul into the underworld. Dante sets out on a rescue mission to save Beatrice, but he soon realizes he is also in Hell to face his own demons and ultimately to redeem himself. Players take Dante through nine unique circles of Hell as mapped out and described by Alighieri: limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. Each circle showcases its own distinct look, with demons, monsters, damned and geography that are crafted straight from the poem’s vivid descriptions. To take down the demons of Hell, Dante is outfitted with two primary weapons: the Scythe he takes from Death and the Holy Cross given to him by Beatrice, which has spiritual powers that will help Dante collect souls and spells from the creatures he defeats on his journey. The game also features a deep upgrade system so gamers can customize their abilities to their specific gameplay style, something they’ll need as Dante comes face to face with Hell’s fiercest beasts and bosses. If successful, Dante will be able to tame certain beasts, exacting their will and turning Hell’s punishments back on itself. [Electronic Arts]

EBC Skirmish 062: Pole-a-Rising

"Viking Brent" Adams — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 23:30:32 +0000

Ready the spears and mount the horses, its time for another edition of EpicBattleCry! This week, we take a look at the debut trailer for Fallout: New Vegas, cross our fingers in hope that Splinter Cell: Conviction does indeed have a firm release date, say a brief ‘I told you so’ to the news that Episodes From Liberty City is headed to both the PS3 and PC in March, and bemoan the announcement that Microsoft will soon discontinue the original Xbox Live service.

First up in the main course this week, we talk about the recently unveiled Apple iPad. While Apple is certainly presenting their new mobile device as a superior outlet for games, will gamers buy into the new multi-touch platform? Next up, with BioShock 2 and Dante’s Inferno set to release this week, we discuss the literary influence on these two unique games. Will the source material of these titles inspire gamers to delve into the novels from which they sprang, or will everyone be too distracted by the kickassery?

The Battle Cry of the Week goes to Sonic the Hedgehog 4 and the hope it will be a return to form for the fleet-footed-franchise, Just Cause 2 and the hope that the actual gameplay lives up to the level of fun seen in the trailer, the recent BioShock 2 Special Edition Unboxing video and its tease for the forthcoming Über Edition, and Ninja Gaiden, one of the most epic, difficult, and influential titles on the NES.

Stay sharp.

Dante's Inferno DLC Info Leaked, New Screens Released

"TheAxeWielder" — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:21:32 +0000

With a week to go until the release of EA’s Dante’s Inferno, it appears that at least one copy of the game has slipped under the radar and into the hands of an individual possessing both a love of DLC and internet movies. Uploaded earlier today, a featurette apparently contained on the game disc reveals the “Trials of St Lucia” DLC which, according to Senior Producer Hans ten Cate, is a “downloadable expansion that brings mutliplayer co-op and content creation to the game”.

At its core, it appears that the content will serve to allow co-op gameplay within custom-created “Trials” that will be uploaded then download and ranked by users via the game’s servers. The content will also feature exclusive baddies and the ability to play as St Lucia who is referred to as Dante’s “Guardian Angel” of sorts.

Per the video, the content is expected to be released on April 29.

Now, while this is still unofficial, we DID get a few new OFFICIAL screens from Dante’s Inferno today which you can check out inside the game’s gallery here on EBA.

Check out the video for the ‘Trials of St Lucia’ DLC after the jump and stay tuned for any more info on the content as it emerges.
