Sony has finally officially announced the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition, and released the first picture of the upcoming replica Mask. This is shaping up to be a really nice looking edition, albeit expensive at $130
The complete announcement with details below: Read the rest of this entry »
Destructoid has a video up showcasing an unboxing of the upcoming European CE for Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Somewhat different than the North American version of the CE but here’s hoping all will look as nice.
After yesterdays discovery that the official Killzone website let slip news of upcoming Collector’s and Limited Editions Roger Moe sent us a tip with some insider details…
The two editions are as follows
Killzone 3 Collector’s Edition:
- Steelbook Packaging
- “Blood and Thunder” DLC map pack
Killzone 3 Helghast Edition:
- Authentic Replica of Helghast Helmet/mask and Stand
- Exclusive DC Unlimited Helghast Figurine
- Killzone Artbook
- Killzone Collectors Edition Steelbook with PSN voucher that offers:
- “Blood and Thunder” DLC Map Pack
- Dynamic PS3 Theme
- Killzone 3 Soundtrack
- All pre-order items (TBC)
- Infamous 2 Demo (TBC)
The Helghast Edition seems like the one to get, though the SteelBook packaging for the Collector’s Edition is sure to please some. No idea what these will actually look like or how much they’ll cost. As always we’ll post more details if we get them.
Onisha sent us a tip that the official Killzone 3 website briefly had more than one edition listed for Killzone 3.
The images and descriptive text for all 3 versions of the game were identical, most likely placeholders. They’ve since disappeared however the “SELECT YOUR EDITION” title image still remains on the pre-order page. Killzone 3 is Scheduled for release on February 22nd, 2011.
Bioware recently announced the “Bioware Signature Edition” of their upcoming game Dragon Age II.
They’re boasting $20 worth of additional content including:
This will be a “First Edition” release meaning anyone who pre-orders before the January 11th release date will automatically get this CE at the cost of the regular edition game. No word on whether Europe will be getting this.
A few days ago Amazon.com let slip a listing for Collector’s Edition of Dead Space 2. Someone on N4G downloaded the product image before Amazon pulled the listing. Thankfully this is one “rumor” that has been confirmed, as EA has recently announced the Collector’s Edition, at least they have for Europe.
The CE announced for Europe looks identical to the one pulled from the US Amazon store so it’s safe to assume they carry the same stuff. But while the CE will be available for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 the content in the PS3 version is different.
All 3 versions will get the following:
However The Xbox 360 and PC versions will also be getting this:
To make up for the lack of replica plasma cutter the PS3 version will be receiving
Personally I’d rather have the replica plasma cutter but the PS3 people will be getting 2 games for the price of one.
Like most games with a boat-load of post-release content Grand Theft Auto IV is finally getting theirs. Amazon listed “The Complete Edition” for both Xbox 360 and PS3 due out on the 26th of this month. The Complete Edition is basically the main game along with with both “Episodes from Liberty City”: the Lost and Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony, all wrapped up in one package for $40.
This might not be so appealing to those who’ve already purchased the game and both episodes but for anyone who slept on GTAIV now is a good time to pick the whole thing up at a very good price.
Every cloud has it’s silver lining and when SOE recently announced that DC Universe was going to be pushed back from it’s original release date in November to sometime next year they also snuck in another announcement concerning the games release on PS3.
…due to overwhelming demand from the community, SOE is pleased to announce that a Collector’s Edition for the PlayStation 3 will also be released (North America only), which includes the same items contained in the PC version announced earlier this year – the DCUO Batman statue, the limited edition Art of DC Universe Online art book, the DCUO Legends Issue #0 comic book with a Jim Lee variant cover, the DCUO Prestige comic presentation of the DCUO back-story and the limited edition Jim Lee-drawn poster Version of the Legends Issue #0 comic book variant cover.
Previously the Collector’s Edition release of DCUO was PC only, but now those PS3 gamers can get it as well, which is a good thing because it looks like a nice release.
A price point hasn’t been set but given that the PC CE is just shy of $100 I’d be willing to bet the PS3 CE will be $110.
The Borderlands Game of the Year Edition is released today, Included is the game along with all of the DLC packs at a cost of about what you’d spend on just the DLC Packs alone (it’s a good game worth picking up if you haven’t already).
If you haven’t already heard though, recently added to the features included with this edition is the inclusion of the first ever playable demo of the long awaited Duke Nukem Forever.
Gearbox (Borderland’s developer) took over development of DNF from the original developer 3DRealms. A playable demo was first unveiled at the recent Penny Arcade Expo and now the Demo will be made available to those who buy the Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands.
Capcom posted up a video unboxing of the Dead Rising 2 High Stakes Edition due out next week.
Most everyone I’ve talked to who has pre-ordered this edition recently received an email from Capcom stating that it is on back-order, including myself. I wasn’t too happy with the comment on the video of “… hopefully you got your copy.” does he know something we don’t?
