Inversion Gets Offensive...Trailer


Saber Interactive's gravity twisting shooter Inversion on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 has a new trailer. Showing off offensive gameplay, manipulating gravity for offensive tactics and impressive maneuvers. Developer commentary goes over the tactics and grappling ideas, in various situations. Switching between low gravity and high gravity, players can make enemies float into the sky or weight them down breaking them or slowing them. Manipulating gravity looks like a lot of fun, it looks very similar to the leash from Bulletstorm.

Enter The Battlefield September 29th


Looks like we were a bit wrong on the date for beta. Just announced, Battlefield 3 will be heading into open beta on September 29th.

Everyone who wants to try out the game will be able to suit up and head into battle. The single map available will be Operation Metro rush map, which takes places in the streets of Paris and an underground subway.

Players who are Battlefield Veterans will unlock the M1911 Pistol and special Battlefield 3 badges. You must be a registered member of the EA Gun Club to unlock these bonuses.

For purchasers of Medal of Honor they will get a 48-hour early access to the Battlefield 3 beta on September 27th, for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.



This is the same map used for Battlefield 3 alpha (seen above) and probably not the best showcase for the game. Expect huge resistance in the subway with narrow tunnels, giving the defenders an easy advantage, as the attacking side is funneled through these narrow paths, often ending the game at this choke point.

PC players will login via the Battlelog website and launch the game from there. Battlelog is not only a stat tracking website, but the entire portal to the game itself, everything is done through Battelog.

You can read up more on the beta on the official beta site.

A Wild Battlefield 3 Beta Site Appears!


Get ready to be blown away.. literally! The Battlefield 3 Beta website seems to have gone live, but for now is only letting in select people. Tweets by DICE have been going around today mentioning that this is going to be a great week. I think we can see why. Anyone who purchased the limited edition Medal of Honor will get early access before the beta is open to everyone. More than likely the beta will be going live this week on every console and PC. Battlefield 3 Beta was delayed by Sony and Microsoft for approval.

Operation Guillotine Deploys 360


Previously we seen a video of Operation Guillotine but shown off as the PC version. DICE for TGS 2011 released a brand new trailer, taken from the Xbox 360 version, with extended footage. As we can see, the game visually still looks fantastic, one of the best on Xbox 360 period. The sound just blows you away and it should! DICE has won several awards for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in the sound department, with Battlefield 3 building off that, we are in for some serious ear candy. All the explosions, heavy feel, gun play, and sound seems to be very intact, just not as crisp, which is expected, PC versions always have the better visuals. Check out this bad boy video yourself below.
