Hands-on with final version of Metal Gear Solid 4

We were whisked from the title screen – a real-time scene showing a suit-wearing Old Snake in the graveyard from previous trailers – to the Middle East, where after only a few minutes we realized that Kojima has done it again: he's taken MGS in a new direction, with wild ambition, yet still kept sneaking the No. 1 priority.

The Message of Majora's Mask on Nintendo 64

Clues spread throughout the final dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask hint that there's far more to the story of this Nintendo 64 game than what made it to the surface. An ancient rebellion against the Goddesses of the Triforce may be tied to the falling moon that spells doom for the world of Termina.

New realistic damage model for Sudden Strike 3 - Arms for Victory

Leading video game developer and publisher, Fireglow Games™, today announces a new realistic damage model for Sudden Strike3:Arms for Victory. We have also checked and corrected units' characteristics such as tower rotation speed, rate of fire, number of crew and ammunition. They are more correct from the historical point of view now.

The trailer showing a new realistic damage model for Sudden Strike 3 Arms for Victory is now available for download here:

With release of the addon, damage model in Sudden Strike 3 Arms for Victory will take into account the following factors:

Object durability (wood, stone, concrete):

Based on visual appearance of an object, (the material which it was built from), we can estimate overall toughness of the object. Concrete is the strongest material of the game. To destroy concrete bunker a howitzer of large caliber is required. After brick and stone buildings go, then wooden constructions. Wooden buildings can be destroyed by the microcaliber artillery and flame throwers.

Armor slope:

We have collected historical data about all armored forces. Not only armor thickness is taken into account, but also armor slope. When hit in the armored part of object at a high angle, the bigger power of shell is required to break it. Sometimes, shells with insufficient power simply ricochet, and do not damage the object at all.

Types of shells:

The following types of shells are implemented in the game: armor-piercing, subcalibre, high-explosive, cumulative and incendiary. All shells have historical characteristics depending on the weapon firing , and have a penetration ability corresponding to values taken from the penetration tables.

The armor penetration and damage of internal object's structures:

If an armor piercing or subcalibre shell breaks through armor, it has a chance to destroy internal structure of the object in the point of the hit. For example, if a shell hits a thread, tank will be immobilized. Hits to the tower inflict damage to the tank's crew. Another example are the flamethrowers. They virtually couldn't damage a tank, but hitting an SPG or tank with open gun turret, destroys it's crew with ease.

Pokemon Platinum confirmed on Nintendo DS

Like all the past pokemon games, each RPG has followed the same pattern: 2 games launching simultaneously with a third releasing later on with a slightly different take on the main game. The DS versions are no different as Nintendo will be releasing Pokemon Platinum in Japan later this year.

No significant changes are being made to the core game apart from the fact that the game will focus on the "Origin Form" of Giratina. Other previously known Pokemon, including Regigigas and Shaymin, will also gain new forms in this game.
