COD BUNKER

Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack 2 “Resurgence” should be out today (July 6, 2010) for the PS3 (Xbox has had it for a month). So far I have not found it in the PSN Store, nor have I seen any tweets from fourzerotwo (Robert Bowling of IW) indicating what time. The last DLC finally went live I think around 6pm EST (New York time) so I expect it to be around then for DLC 2 for the very latest though follow: CODBUNKER and fourzerotwo on Twitter, if you don’t have twitter you can always see important tweets on CODBUNKER at the right side of page—->

We’ll let you know ASAP! Oh, I almost forgot……follow playstation also on twitter. Between those suggested you will not miss it the moment it comes out, LOL.

Side note: Last time Map Pack was released it didn’t show up in the PSN store, yet you could search “Stimulus” and it showed up, so for those REALLY impatient peeps, try searching “Resurgence” over and over, LOL…………might work.

There will be NO Zombies in Treyarch’s Highly anticipated Call of Duty Black Ops (COD7). Before you get yourself into a tissy……….There is no definitive proof YET, but read on and tell me what YOU think!
I Discussed in this in an earlier POST and I now believe it will be Option 2. Treyarch will release COD7 with a “MW2 Spec Op” type Coop for 4 players….maybe calling it “Black Ops” and Sledgehammer Games is currently working on COD Zombies. Here is why I think that. (I still would love to see it in COD7 two games in one)
I’ve been following Glen Schofield (Sledgehammer Studios) on twitter and then it hit me. Just some subtle post of his just rang out like a cow bell. I will post these and also some other info gathered from interviews with Glen. If you do not know him he was formerly with EA doing Visceral Games and CapCom (aka Dead Space and Resident Evil). Interesting backround huh….. Also, Zombies became popular enough to stand on its own, and Activision brought in SledgeHammer to “Bring in a new audience”. Anyways I will let you draw you own conclusions just do some research on Glen and follow him on twitter as well as SHGames and CODBUNKER for future clues.
Here is just SOME of the data that I have collected that forces me to believe that SH will do Zombies:

INTERVIEWS

In an interview with former Capcom Digital Studios’ Art Director, Glen Schofield, we found out that Capcom held a contest to re-name Bio Hazard, the original Japanese title. An employee at Capcom Digital Studios submitted the winning entry “Resident Evil.”

Interview from RelyonHorror.com

Glen A. Schofield: Dead Space director & General Manager of EA Redwood Shores

Dead Space Horror (now rely on Horror): How did you get started in the industry?

Glen Schofield: I started as an artist. My first degree is in art and I’ve been drawing and painting my whole life. Believe it or not my first game was “Barbie Gamegirl”. They all thought it would be funny to give the new guy a Barbie game. Joke was on them-the game sold like crazy and I became the art director.

dsH: What is your favourite enemy/weapon and character of Dead Space?

Glen: I love the ripper-the saw blade you shoot out. Its graphic as hell and just messy. I also like the boot stomp. I find that highly satisfying to walk around and stomp the crap out of things. Enemy is a tough one, they all have their charms but its probably the divider just because he turns into so many little creatures and his paired kill on Isaac is great. My favorite character is of course Isaac.

dsH: Finally, is there anything you want to share with the fanbase, a comment/advice/anecdote/correction/critism?

Glen: I want to say “Thank you”! It has been a tremendous year for Dead Space and we are so lucky to have so much support from the industry and the fans. I can’t thank you all enough for the fan mail, the great compliments and even the criticisms that always help us make games better. All we want to do is make something great and something that people will enjoy playing. That’s what makes me and the team get out of bed each day. We appreciate you all for letting us make a game that has dismemberment at its core, exploding puss filled sacks, babies with tentacles and sick freakin’ pregnant monsters. Man, that’s just fun to put into words.

WHAT SAY YOU?

At approximately 11:00pm June28, 2010 Playstation has rolled out its latest update 3.40. Per the description when you download it states:

“You can now edit and upload video content. You can edit video content that is saved on this system and upload to a video sharing website to share it with your friends. To use this feature, go to [Video Editor & Uploader]. You can now share your favorite photos with friends, using a photo sharing website. To use this feature, go to [Photo]>[Photo Gallery].”

I haven’t used it yet, but it seems you can now use the PS3 to upload straight to your Youtube and Picasa type accounts.

Also included is Power Saving settings, Facebook enhancements, and “Playstation Plus” (a subscription based service package for the PSN). PS+ offers exclusive services and content on June 29, 2010, worldwide. PlayStation Network users will be able to purchase membership (I think $50 USD) to PlayStation Plus, providing members with extra options to enhance their gaming experience and enable them to gain a special set of features and content (This does not mean access to exclusive DLC that Microsoft paid for i.e. you will still have to wait a month for COD maps on the PS3). Even if you don’t have premium PS+, you will continue to have free access to PSN as normal.
