Wellock's scoops about the Dark Knight's sidekick didn't stop there. She also confirmed that Tim Drake will be Batman: Arkham City's Robin. If you're not a DC Comics nerd, Tim Drake was the third Robin in the current DC Comics continuity. He followed in the footsteps of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd but has since broken away from the mantle and begun his own crime fighting career as Red Robin.

If you're depressed that Dick Grayson -- the original Robin -- isn't wearing the red tights, don't be. Remember, we did spot a "Flying Graysons" poster not too long ago in Arkham City, so there's a chance Nightwing (Dick's alter-ego before becoming Batman in the comics) might show up.

What do you think of Tim Drake as Robin in Batman: Arkham City? Let us know in the comments below -- maybe you'll make it in an upcoming IGN article.

Wellock is the Rocksteady's European community manager.

Downloadan' Champions. Because it's free.

I didn't like it that much...or at all. But what can you expect from freeware.

Was looking at that one, the "Operative" specialization sounds like you can be all strategic and shit. The Bounty Hunter: Powertech class looks pretty awesome too.

Indeed, but somehow one wants to play SW to slice things up with a lightsaber and strangle anyone with the Force.

Pssh, all of that could be rendered useless if your armor was made of cortosis and you had a pet ysalamiri on your shoulder. Alas, it is but a dream.

PUT YO XBAWXES DOWN!

The Xbox 360's successor will likely debut at E3 2012, with Timesplitters 4 among the titles in development for the new machine, according to a new report.

A "high-ranking" source within developer Crytek let the news slip to VideoGamer. Although the insider didn't confirm system specs, they revealed that the Crysis studio is using DirectX 11 in development.

The source expects Microsoft to unveil and subsequently launch its new machine ahead of Sony, though the studio is also investing resources in PlayStation 4 development.

Crytek is hoping that Timesplitters 4 will be seen as an early visual benchmark for the platform.

First announced by developer Free Radical back in 2007, the FPS sequel was thought to be dead and buried when the studio went into administration in 2009. However, Crytek, who bought up what was left of the Nottingham-based outfit, has seemingly resuscitated the game.

Built using CryEngine 3, it'll apparently focus on branching paths, exploration and sandbox gameplay.

Both Microsoft and Crytek have declined to comment on the story.

Also, tried out the Spiral Knights MMO on Steam and it's pretty fuckin' awesome, simple cartoonish designs, plays like a DS version of Zelda but can make guilds and shit.

Sandbox gameplay in Timesplitters? Eeeeeeehhhhhhh... Timesplitters: Future Perfect had the kind of story and characters that kicked ass as it was, linear. I don't think it would work well with sandbox gamplay.

EA has just pulled Crysis 2 from Steam so they can offer it through Origins exclusively and the new Alice game will only be on Origins too. Wonder what other games they'll do next.

Edit:

Quote:

EA has stated the game's removal was due to an agreement between Crytek and another download service, not a decision by the publisher.

Posted below is EA's statement sent to IGN:

It's unfortunate that Steam has removed Crysis 2 from their service. This was not an EA decision or the result of any action by EA.

Steam has imposed a set of business terms for developers hoping to sell content on that service – many of which are not imposed by other online game services. Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis 2 from Steam.

Crysis 2 continues to be available on several other download services including Origin.com

Still, meh.

So..

Who's playing champion?

***Demi-God*** · 06-16-2011, 02:09 AM

Still haven't tried it, been playing more on Spiral Knights. Which you should also get since it's only about 400mb.

kluang · 06-16-2011, 02:31 AM

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

***Demi-God*** · 06-16-2011, 03:25 AM

On Steam, I'm kind of a big deal.

Ahem, I mean, added.

Also, new concept art from the upcoming Transformers MMO.

They look more movie based.

If I can design my own Transformer from the ground up, I may be interested.

**Mal** · 06-16-2011, 08:43 AM

Shit's got to be free-to-play for me to be even remotely interested.
