EA and DICE today released some new screenshots of Battlefield Heroes, the cartoony, casual addition to the Battlefield franchise.
Battlefield Heroes will be free, with microtransactions and in-game ads to generate revenue. Check it out.
Today it was announced that Mass Effect would be ported to the PC, like every other BioWare game.
Arriving in May 2008, the PC version will include some added features not on the Xbox 360. These features are: Optimized controls, high resolution visuals, fully customizable controls, run & gun controls that allow the player to assign powers to hot keys, new decryption mini-game and new inventory screen GUI and functionality.
The full press release is after the jump. Continued…
Dylan Jobe, game director for Warhawk, posted news on a neat little contest running until Feb. 15, 2008. The Warhawk: Paint Scheme and Inisgnia contest is open to all residents of the US.
The first question that comes to mind is: “What are the prizes?” Well, Dylan mentions that winners will not only have the your submission’s featured in an upcoming patch, but winners will also get a limited edition Warhawk statue from Gentle Giant Studios.
Kotaku Australia (this exists?) reports that EA’s Australian branch informed them that the upcoming, cartoon-styled shooter, Battlefield Heroes will be exclusive to the US and Europe.
Considering the game is downloadable, so far it’s unclear how EA will control this.
But they’ll certainly find a way. While EA was unable to explain the reasons behind such a decision, the common guess is that it wants to try the free-to-play system in a more closed environment and see the reaction of the public before releasing it worldwide.
Alternatively, we could simply say that Australia is being spared from having a possibly bad game, but less choice is never better…right?
