Kiefer Sutherland To Play Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

Kiefer Sutherland will play Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, it has been revealed. The 24 actor will supply his voice and likeness for the role of the iconic character.

During Konami’s pre-E3 press conference, creative director Hideo Kojima explained that he wanted an actor with the likeness and vocal qualities of someone in their late 40s for the role.

Sutherland will take over from David Hayter, who has voiced the role since Metal Gear Solid on PlayStation in 1998.

Metal Gear Solid 5

Hayter recently explained that he personally was given “no reason or explanation” for being dropped from the role.

Hideo Kojima recently explained that he wanted to use a new voice for Snake as a new direction for the series.

Until now it was believed to be an elaborate hoax, much like the initial announcement of The Phantom Pain, which was said to be made by a false studio including fictional developer interviews.

Described as an open-world game, the fifth instalment in the long-running stealth action series follows Snake as he wakes up from a nine-year coma.

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain will be available on Xbox 360 and PS3 in early 2014.

Respawn TitanFall Exclusive to Xbox360, XboxOne and PC

Respawn Entertainment’s new title is known as Titanfall and it will be coming to Xbox One, PC and Xbox 360, and is the cover of the next issue of Game Informer, according to the Google Play store (which has now been deleted).

Titanfall

The game is apparently a multiplayer shooter with no offline mode. It’ll include matches for up to 16 players as well as including AI-controlled enemies, such as Titans which take the form of giant exoskeletons.
Respawn told Game Informer that the reason this title is not coming to PlayStation is because “it thought it would prove too difficult to also make its first game for PlayStation platforms as it only had a relatively small team and wanted to focus its energy on creating the best possible product.”
So Microsoft’s cash had nothing to do with it then? “That’s not to say we won’t [go multiplatform] in the future, but for our first game we wanted to focus on making the best game we could,” Respawn concluded.
The game is said to be due for release in Spring 2014. Expect a load more details on this game at Microsoft’s and/or EA’s press conference. Titanfall will run on Valve’s Source engine, which has been partly rewritten for next-generation systems, and is said to run at 60 frames-per-second.Certain SmartGlass and Kinect functionality will be available on Xbox platforms.

Xbox One Controller in Detail

Xbox One Controller in Detail
Microsoft has revealed more details on its new Xbox One controller, including the fact that it’ll charge via USB.
Xbox_Controller_F_TransBG_RGB_2013
Sarcasm aside, the new controller has plenty of new features and in fact 200 prototype controllers were got through before Microsoft arrived at the final design.
Here’s some of the main features as described by Major Nelson:
Impulse Triggers – Xbox One’s Wireless Controller sports four vibration motors – a small one behind each trigger that adds precise haptic feedback to the fingertips, and a larger in each grip for large scale rumbles.
Higher Quality Headset Audio – The data transfer rate between the controller and console has been improved, allowing for higher fidelity audio in communication headsets. In-game chat over Xbox Live, according to the team, will be in many cases clearer than talking on a phone.
Revamped Thumbsticks – The thumbsticks are built for precision and comfort; are smaller and outlined with a knurled texture for better grip. The sticks require 25 percent less force to move, allowing you to adjust your aim in a first-person shooter or execute a half-circle sweep. It also uses advanced electronics that reduce thumbstick deadzone in the centre.
Brand New D-Pad – The new design is architectured to deliver more precision and tactile feedback for gaming. It provides accurate cardinal direction input, sweeping movements and combinations.
Buttons, Buttons, Buttons – The A, B, X and Y buttons are lower to the controller with tighter spacing, making the transition between each one smoother. A new, three-step manufacturing process gives these buttons a more premium look, and the size and placement of the Xbox button has also changed so the view and menu buttons are more accessible.
Seamless Connectivity – Each controller uses a combination of invisible reflective technology and LEDs to send a patterned infrared signal to your console and Kinect sensor. This makes pairing the devices seamless, and enables Kinect to associate the controller with whoever is holding it. This introduces experiences such as player switching, where a split screen display can swap positions on the TV if users change seats on the couch.
Low Power State – If you’re watching a movie or need to step away from the TV, the controller enters a low power state that conserves your battery. The moment you pick it up again, it will be ready for use without having to resynch with the console.
Refined for Comfort – The controller’s design was honed to the closest tenth of a millimeter to offer the most comfortable fit in users’ hands, and was tested extensively by a broader age group than ever before to ensure it is optimized for as many people as possible. According to the team’s research, this improves gameplay performance and allows comfortable gaming for longer periods of time.
Angled Triggers and Bumpers – The triggers and bumpers are designed for performance and comfort. The specific angling allows for a natural fit for your fingers, and the triggers require a lighter pull. Squeezing it repeatedly is an easier and more precise.
Internal Battery Cavity –The compartment that houses AA batteries is built into the interior of the controller, giving your fingers more room to grip at the bottom. The controller is both wireless and a wired and can be plugged into Xbox One with a mini USB cable. The connection automatically switches to preserve battery life.

Digital Extremes have announced that Warframe, the fastest growing Free-to-Play game, is coming to the PlayStation 4 this fall.

VaubanSlide

Players are introduced to Warframe as newly awoken Tenno warriors, thrust into a universe at war and armed with ancient exo-skeletal technology only they can operate. These Warframes bring unimaginable power and skill to the Tenno and provide players with unique offensive and defensive powers to explore and master.  Players go solo or band together in squads of 4 to complete co-op based raids to locate ancient artifacts that will help customize and upgrade their Warframe and weapons.

As a co-op focused game that thrives on community and clan-building, Warframe will take full advantage of the social connectivity and community building features coming to the PlayStation 4 system.  Some of the features involve the new enhanced DUAL SHOCK 4 controller that offers integrated audio, touch-pad controls and gameplay streaming capabilities.  Additionally, 2nd screen functionality will come in the form of an Android and iOS App called Warframe Nexus. This companion app will allow players to perform in-game tasks and provide pertinent real-time game info while away from the PS4 system such as alerts to critical missions, crafting and building inventory, and scheduling gaming sessions with friends just to name a few.
