Heroes of the Storm cinematic trailer scorches

Blizzard played an integral part in the inception of the MOBA genre, they never tried to capitalize on its success.

Well, until now. Blizzard is developing a “Hero Brawler” which is free-to-play PC title, named Heroes of the Storm - formerly known as Blizzard All-Stars (and Blizzard Dota before that). Blizzard’s aim here is to create a unique brawler focusing on teamwork and playing with your team, so in HotS, players don’t level up, teams do. If one Hero earns a lot of experience and levels up, the whole team will.

“We fully feel like we’re making something a little bit different and a little bit new…” Says Game Director Dustin Browder. ”[it's] certainly based on a lot of the games we played in WarCraft 3 and even in Brood War that were made by our fans, but we’re trying to create something that’s very very quick, and can be played in about 20 minutes.”

In HotS, Blizzard brings characters from all of their epic universes we all visited in the last 22 years, together for the first time.

“Powerful warriors from Azeroth, Sanctuary, the Koprulu sector, and beyond have been sucked into the Nexus, a transdimensional storm. Stranded in a strange limbo of clashing universes, these heroes have but one fate – endless battle for glory, survival, and just plain fun.”

Here, the cinematic trailer tells it best…

New PlayStation Vita coming October 10th

Sony has announced a new version of its PS Vita. The Vita PCH-2000 is 15% lighter and 20% thinner than the original model and will add an additional hour of life to the battery.

Further hardware improvements include a micro-USB charger and 1GB of onboard storage. Interestingly, the screen tech has been changed to LCD from OLED, what is likely responsible for the drop in price. Also, there will be three special edition models: Gundam Breaker, God Eater and Otomate.

The new (WiFi-only) Vita will land in Japan first, on October 10th in Japan for 18,980 Yen (or about $190). It’s unclear if and when this model will be made available in the otherparts of the world.

GTA V Official gameplay video is here

Ok guys hold on to your hats. Rockstar has released the first gameplay trailer from GTAV. It’s captured with footage from the PS3 version of the game but it still looks pretty good.

Here it is…

Here we can see some advanced customization options and sports to play; golf, tennis and hunting. The game will reportedly be structured just like the previous installments… A series of mega-heists with missions and side-quests interspersed between them. Players’ decisions about tactics will effect the game’s outcome.

Yeah, and about that mysterious Grand Theft Auto Online… Watch t[H] for news as it happens.

GTA 5 will be the 15th game in the fantastically successful franchise, and Rockstar have promised that it will also be the biggest one, with a game world larger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA: San Andreas combined.

What do you think?

And whoever did this, if you are reading this, contact me and I’ll add your reference.

Feel free to comment if you can guess them all.
