CODEx

Codex is going to sleep for the summer…

We’re very grateful for the work of all concerned for the past year – some really great things done, and a great lead in to stage 2 of the codeX project for September 2012!  We look forward to more gaming and maybe some unplugged gaming in the next term, but until then – thank you all and have a great summer!

I found out recently that, due to overwhelming positive feedback from customers the game Dark Souls is coming to PC some time later this year.

This was rumoured for a while before being confirmed in a German gaming magazine.

More information about the game can be taken from the Demon’s Souls review at http://foghlaim.ie/code-x/archives/22 since they’re basically the same, as far as I know.

Happy gaming!

0×10^c is a new game coming…eventually…to PC, by Notch, the creator of Minecraft. It’s going to be a hard sci-fi game, so you fly around in spaceships, trade, kill people, whatever.

Not so much is known currently, but there’s one main point: the game will contain 16-bit DCPUs for helping with ships or mining stuff on planets. You will be able to write any software within the limitations of your personal skill with programming, or buy software in-game from other people, sell it. Then, you can take advantage of this for combat or to annoy people – viruses to slow down computers, or force them into an infinite loop of doing something stupid like turning shields on and off, or to steal control of their ship from them and jettison them into space.

You could even code solitaire to play while you wait to get to that planet way off in the distance. It’s all up to you.

The U.S. magazine Game Informer has the first details on Assassin’s Creed 3.
As is known the game will take us to the American Revolution, more specifically between the years 1753 and 1783, focusing on the city of Boston and New York. The hero of the game is to name Connor (native name: Ratohnake), and is the son of an English father and Native American mother. In-game will let us know the story of Connor since childhood, when it is created by the Mohawk tribe was attacked by English settlers, and that Connor will lead to a tough quest for peace and revenge.
Throughout the adventure character will cross with big names in the history of the United States of America as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Charles Lee, you can also visit iconic locations. In addition to following the story of this new character will also be featured clashes between the Assassins and the Templars, also with the presence of the natives and the French.
The map will be one and a half times greater than what was seen in The Brotherhood, with a large area for the main and secondary missions, the towns and cities. In these areas we will be able to climb trees and mountains, hunting animals, thus giving greater freedom to the player. These natural settings will also show the change of seasons, with varying scenarios while offering new ways to advance the game. Building on the huge map of the game, which is promised in Assassin’s Creed will be three scenarios with more life and thousands of enemies, and that despite being in great numbers will not affect the quality of the characters.
The game will include a new version of Anvil engine, with animations for the main character never seen before in the series. Will be premiered an Animus 3.0.
Ubisoft Montreal in the game includes a new notoriety system, economy and property, together with another system of recruiting killers. Disappear guildes of the courtesans, thieves and mercenaries, but they will introduce something similar. Also going to keep the possibility of improving the team’s star, and were increased the number of puzzles and platforms with the return of the synchronization system of missions, which bring great advantages to the player if they are completed to 100%.
The magazine also revealed that there will be improvements in the movements of parkour, fighting with two weapons, the attacks have been increased and modified the system side sprint. The character will have several weapons at the time especially with an axe, returning to attend the famous and deadly hidden blade. To give a touch more cinematic, the game will present a new camera to follow the action.
Assassin’s Creed 3 was the game in the series that more time has been in development since the first game, a production that is close to completion, and whose time to be put on sale in stores on Oct. 30, will be used for jobs correction and polishing.
