Dead Space 2, Dragon Age II coming in 2011

Dead Space fans waiting for a sequel will be happy to hear that EA has just dated the game for a 2011 release. Of course, you’re probably not too happy to hear it considering you have to wait over a year to get your hands on it. Additionally, EA has also told us that Dragon Age 2 (or whatever the sequel is to be called) will also be hitting store shelves sometime in 2011.

But that’s not all as EA has also listed the two sequels as having a future presence on “handheld platforms” which could mean anything from the DS and PSP to the iPhone and iPod touch, or all over the above.

We’ll let you know as more information is made known about the two sequels.

Molyneux: Fable 3 details at X10

Lionhead’s Peter Molyneux has not only stated that lots of Fable 3 details will be spilled at the upcoming X10 event, but also that people would be “pissed off”;

“There’s some very, very big things happening in Fable. Bigger than you think, and it’s going to really upset people. They’re going to get super pissed off, they really are.”

Maybe they’ve got something really interesting to showcase, or Molyneux is really just hyping the game up. However, considering he’s not really a PR master, we’re now quite interested in the upcoming X10 event.

LA Noire coming in September?

First Facebook FPS announced

Most of the games on Facebook — no, all of the games on Facebook — are a far cry from what we’re usually used to, and they’re only the most basic point and click adventures, with some social networking added to it. However, that will soon change, as the first FPS has been announced for Facebook. Called Brave Arms, it’s a full 3D shooter, with cartoonish looks like Team Fortress 2. The game will be released next month.

Modern Warfare 2 patch submitted to MS for certification

Infinity Ward has announced that they’ve submitted the next Modern Warfare 2 patch to Microsoft to test and certify on the Xbox 360. The patch, called “Care package” has already been released on the PC and PS3, and Xbox 360 owners will have to wait at least another week until it’s available. The full changes of the patch are:

• Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
• Fix for “infinite care package” exploit.
• Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
• Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
• Fixes to prevent various XP hacks.
