PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, ,

watch_dogsWant to get your name and profile featured in the upcoming Watch Dogs game? Well, Ubisoft are running a competition to allow just that, but you’ll need to be 18 years old and over and have access to a Facebook and Uplay account to get involved.

If you’re a budding fan, you’ll want to enter your details here. Just jot down your name, date of birth, occupation, and three facts about yourself – they can be as cool, off the wall or as creative as you like. From there, Ubisoft will choose 30 competition entries at random to be included as a pedestrian in the game. But you’ll have to wait until November 19, when the game is released for current and next-gen platforms, to find out if you’ve been one of the lucky winners.

Capcom UK Pulls Resident Evil Revelations Event After Cruel Woolwich Attack

PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360, ,

woolwich attackCapcom UK has decided to cancel its Resident Evil Revelations event in light of the tragic attack in Woolwich, London. Yesterday, a British soldier was reportedly hacked to death by two men shouting islamic statements in the streets of South London, in which the government is treating to be a terrorist attack. One of the men was filmed – still holding the knives in which he carried out the attack – and claimed that he killed the man because British soldiers kill Muslims every day.

Due to the attack, Capcom UK’s event – which was to see a 16ft by 32ft swimming pool filled with a specially concocted blood dye combined with human torso floats – will no longer be going ahead this weekend on May 25 and 26 at London’s Jupiter Wharf. A Capcom UK spokesperson had the following to say this morning:

“In light of yesterday’s sad events we’re cancelling our Revelations pool event. Thank you for your understanding.”

Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, please keep your comments in respect of the tragic occurrence. Thankyou.

Ubisoft Announces Exclusive Content When Pre-Ordering Watch Dogs

PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, , ,

watch dogs mainUbisoft has announced an extra sweet treat for fans who pre-order the upcoming title Watch Dogs. The open-world action game features two additional content packages, depending on whether you pre-order from GameStop or Amazon in North America.

When pre-ordering the title from GameStop, players will receive a single player mission named ‘The Palace Pack’, which includes an investigation bonus and ATM hack boost. Both unlock exclusive in-game content, allowing you to find more investigations as well as increasing cash rewards when hacking banks through the ATM hack boost. And if you pre-order extra early, you’ll also receive a neat game poster, designed by comic-book artist Alex Ross.

Looking to pre-order on Amazon? If so, players will receive the Signature Shot Pack. The content comes as a single player mission that gives you access to the Biometric Assault Rifle, which was smuggled into Chicago for the captain of the Black Viceroy’s gang, as well as the Black Viceroy’s Outfit once completed. By all accounts, the weapon only works for the first person to make an imprint of their palm on the handle, so players will need to steal the package and make the imprint to be in with a chance of success. Watch Dogs is available for pre-order until November 18 and will be released in North America on November 19 for the Wii U.

Deadpool, an action-adventure game based on characters from the Deadpool comic book franchise, was previously thought to be coming to the Wii U, though rumors were quickly dismissed, and the game was only confirmed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. But based on a recent listing made by Amazon Canada, the game is coming to Nintendo’s console. However, this can only be classified as a rumor until publisher Activision confirms whether the Wii U will be getting the game. Deadpool will be released on June 25th.

PlayStation 3, Wii U, Xbox 360, ,

Ubisoft is confident that its highly anticipated multi-format title Watch Dogs could sell as well, or even better, than the company’s acclaimed Assassin’s Creed. The original Assassin’s Creed game, which was released in 2007, has reportedly sold over eight million copies and counting. Ubisoft clearly has big ambitions for Watch Dogs, and rightfully so.

“Watch_Dogs can do probably as well or probably even better than AC1, in the target we’ve given we’ve taken quantity that are below AC1. So that’s the point”
