Duke Nukem is Back!



Some years ago we interviewed Jon St. John, the one and only guy who gave his voice to Duke Nukem, one of the most famous videogame characters in the 90s. Well Duke Nukem 3D turns 20 this year and Gearbox has revealed the special Duke Nukem: 20th Anniversary World Tour. It will be the first time Duke Nukem appears on the new generation and a whole new episode will be added to the already 20 year old classic.

For this special edition Gearbox has decided to really please fans by keeping Duke Nukem´s old art style and bringing familiar faces to the game. Jon St. John will return to voice Duke and will even re-record some of Duke´s old lines, Allen Blum III the original creator will design the new level, Levelord will provide new content and Lee Jackson new music.

This time good old Nuke will travel around the world saving hot babes and killing aliens with a new weapon, the incinerator, a flamethrower that had already been written in the code of the game but was never before usable. Players will also be capable of fighting in eight-player multiplayer matches, or to play the game with up to eight different players in co-op multiplayer and also will be capable of rewinding the game in case they die or f*ck something up with the new rewind feature.

The  game will launch on october 11 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One for $20. For more information be sure to follow our facebook.

Why We Love Betas / Top 5 best and worst betas

all copyright respective owners

Betas are the best options players have for trying the multiplayer aspect of a game before it is released. They give players the option to feel the game and know if what they are playing is worth their hard earned money, and they are also a tool for developers to encounter glitches,  bugs, etc., in their games by compiling huge data provided by some of the players.

EA in the last couple of years has had Betas as an estrategy for marketing their games and reaching to more players before the game is launched increasing sales, they have had several betas for Battlefield games, last year they had one for Star Wars Battlefront and last week one for Titanfall 2. I have been part of all of those betas, and thanks to those experiences I have bought almost all of them, showing just how effective betas are in influencing a gamers decision, or at least mine.

Last year Call Of Duty had their first public beta and it was a succes too, several players were part of it and their sales numbers increased after two years of decreasing numbers, although it seems like this year those numbers will drop more because gamers in general hated what Activision has showed so far of the game.

all copyright respective owners


We love betas because they are a vehicle for players to test a game and see if they like it before spending money. We love them because when there´s nothing more to play in our libraries betas appear as a free option to fill the void in our daily lifes, even if it is for some days. But not all betas have been good,  and we are thankful for that because they killed and stopped the hype train we had jumped on.

So therefore here is our top 5 worst and best betas.

WORST BETAS

  1. Battlefield Hardline
  2. The Division 
  3. Star Wars Battlefront
  4. Tom Clancy´s Rainbow Six Siege
  5. Street Fighter V 
BEST BETAS
  1. Battlefield 1
  2. Battlefield 3
  3. Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
  4. Titanfall 2
  5. DOOM 
Did you played any of these betas? Which one was your favorite? By the way be sure to check Battlefield 1 beta it is pretty cool and free! Be sure to like us on facebook

Let´s Talk About Nazi Zombies

Ever since Treyarch´s nazi zombies changed in Black Ops 2,my interest in that game mode decreased a lot. When they introduced new characters I thought I would never see the 4 guys I loved playing as, I thought Treyarch was done with them and that a new group of heroes was going to take over, but it wasn´t like that, Treyarch knew their gold mine in Zombies was the story of Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen. And they used that card in their advantage making the 4 heroes only playable in some of the DLCs, in others they only talked to the player in order to make him complete certain goals.
















At the beginning Nazi Zombies (now just Zombies) was a pretty simple thing, you had to survive the infinite rounds of zombies trying to kill you while opening new areas of the map, purchasing new weapons and using a mysterious box. Then new maps came with new guns, a story appeared through some forgotten audio recorders left around in the map and the famous objective of turning on the power was introduced. The enemies were not just zombies now because after a certain amount or rounds hell hounds would appear. At this time I was so into Zombies I even knew by memory some of the characters lines when they performed certain actions or got certain power-ups.

Everything was perfect, I loved the way the game was played, I loved the characters, the maps, the weapons and the weird story. Then eveything canged when the fire nation attacked in Black Ops 2. New characters appeared and Zombies came back after everybody thought Treyarch had finished the story. From that moment Zombies became a mixture of things that had no relation whatsoever to what we were shown at first. Knights, dragons, giant robots, the Margwa and flying parasytes became part of that mixture and my interest in the game disappeared completely. At least until I heard that the final zombies map was going to be released in BO3 and that it would bring the final closure to the story.

Margwa

I bought BO3 and started playing zombies, at first I hated it. I couldn´t get past round 10 and everything seemed so chaotic and confusing. Then with time I learned how to get around the map and how to use the gobblegums improving my experience with the game and I have to admit BO3 has revived my interest and love for zombies so I will be getting that last DLC next month and I will be telling if I liked it or not. Also I am planning in making a special about zombies for when the last DLC releases.

Titanfall 2


Titanfall's 2 pre-alpha tech test was released last weekend and of course we had to try it. Because you know even though we constantly disappear for months or years we still try to bring to you some content. 

At first I was a little skeptical about what I could experience in this pre-alpha, the latest betas I have played have been quite disappointing and frustrating so for me this one was going to be the same. But hey! If it's free to download there's no harm in doing so, plus I have to get the most out of my PS plus subscription. 

When I first booted the pre-alpha everything looked simple but good, then a cutscene started, it was a little introduction to the game and what can be expected of it when it finally releases. I skipped the tutorial and decided to instantly jump online, I could figure the controls and mechanics all by myself. I was wrong. I had to go back to the menu and do the tutorial and that's when the real fun started.
After a certain number of kills and completion of objectives you finally have enough points to call your Titan (giant robot) from the skies, some people have said that the amount of points required to get a titan is overwhelming but I found this to be a lie, to me it was a fair amount of points because getting a Titan can be a real gamechanger when your team is losing in the most miserable way. It is a tool to completely change the tides, but it can also be frustrating because when you start using the Titan, killing other players who don't have Titans and are still simple pilots can be really difficult, but for them to kill your Titan can be a stroll in the park because once they are in top of your magnificent metal Titan it is quite difficult to get them off, like trying to outrun a mob of white girls going for their pumpkin spice latte while taking selfies. 


The guns showed in the beta were unbalanced too. From the options they gave us there were only 2 that actually worked for something. What it really caught my attention was the different abilities and grenades you could give to your pilot and how much the way you played could change thanks to them. For example there was an ability to send two holograms of yourself to distract other players and a grenade that would pull enemy pilots towards it, like a black hole, and then it would explode.
For a pre-alpha what I saw and experienced was really good and it gave me good vibes, unlike other betas, and it assure me that Titanfall 2 might be worht my money. 

For last excuse me if my writing is rusty and it offends you, but it's been quite some time since I last wrote for Hunted Pixel, well actually since anyone did, and I might have lost my magic touch, so please bear with me while the old me comes back.

Horror Games!

Last year was a pretty good year for the horror genre with games like The Evil Within, Alien Isolation, Outlast and Five Nights at Freddy´s and I loved that because all my life I have loved watching horror movies and being able to play a lot of horror games is a dream come true. From the creepy halls in Outlast to the f-ing jumpscares in Five Nights at Freddy´s I enjoyed and suffered every single moment of terror and fear that those games threw at me, but they are just a few games because if I mentioned every single one it would take me quite some time and I´m kind of lazy if not extremely lazy.

But for me the best horror of experience was not from a game but from a playable teaser released only in PS4 called P.T. Beleive me I screamed like a b!tch playing that game and I had to stop playing it several times only to come back for more later. When I played P.T. I only had one rule, don´t play this game alone, and I never did, I always shared the horror with someone and thanks to that I survived this incredible master piece created by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.


So now I´m pretty excited for 2015 and the horror games it will bring upon us like Draugen, a horror game set in Norwegian west coast and where as usual the goal will be survival, from who or what is yet to be known but well we will patiently wait for it. 


Other game is SOMA, this is a new game developed by Frictional Games the same guys that scared the shit out of everyone with Amnesia, this game seems to be filled with gore and some kind of human robots that will try to kill us, more is yet to be known about the game but once again I want to play it like amnesia and probably have a heart attack.


The last game I´m excited for is Outlast 2, the first one was amazing and had really good graphics so if the guys at Red Barrels can even overcome what they did they will create another masterpiece. At this point nothing is known about the game.
