Besides the lack of party chat, I’m sure the one thing pissing off most Modern Warfare 2 players is the inability to find out how to unlock certain titles. After an hour or two of searching, I’ve found a forum that has a nearly complete list of all of the titles in MW2. I won’t waste your time so I’ll just throw the link below.
If there’s one thing I hate in fighting games, it’s playing through over and over meeting certain scenarios to unlock all of the characters. I still don’t have Seth unlocked in Street Fighter IV, and I doubt I ever will since I have no desire to play the career mode with a few of the game’s fighters. Luckily, Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada shares our feelings. In an interview with VideoGamer.com, Harada-san had this to say:
Why we locked the characters originally was that in the arcades, it was kind of to extend the life of the game by gradually unlocking characters. And also with the home versions as well, because you can rent games or whatever, it was to protect us against that.
That’s kind of outdated now though, especially with online play. If we were to have locked characters it would irritate a lot of people, to be playing against others online and to not have all the characters available. So I think it’s no longer useful.
Tekken 6 will have all 40 characters unlocked from the start, a move that I wish more developers would adopt. Maybe even releasing a patch to unlock all the characters? Capcom, I’m looking in your direction.
You might want to fire up that copy of Gears of War one more time before Friday. There are a couple of achievements you need to unlock some cool multiplayer skins for the sequel. Specifically, you’ll want to complete Act 1 on any difficulty, collect 1/3 or more of the COG tags, and beat the game on Insane (yeah, that’ll happen quickly). Check out all the collectibles you can snag:
Good stuff here. It’s nice to see Epic offering some multiplayer unlocks for getting through the game, similar to the Halo 3 armor unlocks. I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of these Friday night when we team up for Gears 2 like whoa. Yes, I said like whoa.
Yesterday, it was uncovered how to play God of War II in HD on your PS2/PS3. Just hold L1, L2, L3, Square and Circle as you boot up the game to access HD mode. Of note, this isn’t 720p, it’s actually a Full Buffer 480p, which makes it much prettier than the standard game, but not as good as true 720p. You can see a screen grab of the Island of Creation site here.
Anyway, here’s a video of the game running in HD mode.
In case that wasn’t good enough for you, here’s the HD version.
Coming Soon!
