Capcom updated its blog with a rundown of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s Lagombi creature. Details and screenshots can be found below.
– Type: Fanged Beast
– Has a thick layer of fur on its back
– Strong and smooth shell coating on its belly
– Lagombi can slide away from you, towards you, or in a circular motion with its shell
– Need to run fast or be quick with your guarding – both options require Stamina, which will deplete faster if you stay out in the cold for too long
– Hot Drinks needed for the Tundra
– Use Sonic Bombs to stall Lagombi in place for a few seconds
– From the same family as Arzuros
– Some very sharp claws as well as successive attacks in a swiping manner
Is the Wii U a next-gen console? Some will say yes, others will say no. This is a topic that has been debated since Nintendo announced the console at E3 2011, and will likely be a point of discussion in the future.
A few developers offered some insight regarding the next-gen nature of Wii U and its potential in the latest issue of GamesMaster. Below you’ll find comments from Ubisoft’s Gabrielle Shrager, Mass Effect 3’s external producer, and more.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s first downloadable content may have been leaked. Titled “Revolution”, the pack will contain four maps and one new weapon – Hydro, Grind, Downhill and Mirage areas, along with the Peacekeeper SMG (Sub-Machine Gun).
The image above popped up on the official Call of Duty forums. As of now, Activision has yet to confirm the DLC’s validity. Be on the lookout for updates.
Gunman Clive has a few glitches. A number of users have encountered crashes with the game’s second boss, and there are other issues that need to be addressed.
Thankfully, developer Bertil Hörberg is in the process of addressing the problems. There isn’t an immediate fix in the works, but players should know that an update will likely be coming in the future.
“As I suspected, the train boss bug is a command buffer overflow, which should be easy enough to fix. There’s a few other issues I need to look into as well and then there’s the whole process of releasing a patch/update that I haven’t really [sic] looked into yet. It could take a while, especially during the holidays. In the meantime you should be able to avoid any risk of running into the bug by turning off 3D during that fight, as there’s only about half the render commands in 2D.”
Gunman Clive came out on the European 3DS eShop on December 20. It’s due out this Thursday in North America.
Rather than a new 3DS, one boy from Talladega received a box full of rocks on Christmas. His mother purchased the system from Wal-Mart, but did not check the product to see if the system was inside. When the boy opened the product, he found the rocks wrapped in tissue paper.
Does this story sound familiar? Almost the same exact situation occurred in 2009 – also with Wal-Mart, but with a DS instead.
