New Pokémon Black And Pokémon White Rumors Emerge As Does A Map Of Isshu
More scans from the CoroCoro magzine have emerged revealing a map of Isshu, the name of the area where Pokémon Black And Pokémon White takes place in. The map shows the area is split into 3 peninsulas, the right being fairly wooded and probably the starting location, the central one has a desert, a large Pokéball shaped lake, and the city that was previously revealed. the left side is mountainous with towns on the edge and possible temple style locations in the north. all 3 of the peninsulas are connected by a variety of bridges.
Reshiram, the white dragon Pokémon in Pokémon Black, has been revealed as a Dragon/Fire type with Turbo Blaze as its ability. Zekrom, the Black dragon Pokémon in Pokémon White, has been revealed as a Dragon/Electric type with Terra Voltage as its ability.
Its been revealed that in the first generation Pokémon games, Red and Blue, there was a character in the game that would say "The POKEMON here are so chunky! There should be a pink one with a floral pattern!", perhaps hinting this Pokémon, Munma, has existed in some form at Gamefreak for many years. its known that Gamefreak has made Pokémon for a game and put them in a later Pokémon game, so this could be an example of this.
Pokébeach also have new unconfirmed rumours from a well known source regarding Pokémon Black And Pokémon White:
- There will be 157 new Pokemon, bringing the total amount to 650.
- Like how Giratina compliments Dialga and Palkia, a large, green cobra will accompany Reshiram and Zekrom.
- Tauros will have an evolution: Minotauros. It stands on two legs.
- In previous games, either through moves or through abilities, players were able to alter the weather conditions of the battle field to boost certain types. For example, Groudon’s Drought summons sunlight, which boosts Fire-type moves by 50%. In Black and White, players will be able to collect certain items that alter the weather conditions of the battle field. Approximately twenty of these items will affect the weather conditions so that they will boost certain types (kind of like Stadium cards in the TCG?), with some types getting added bonuses depending on the item.
- One example will be setting up a Poison Field, which causes all Poison-type attacks to gain 30% accuracy, Sludge Bomb to have a 100% poison rate, and the effects of Toxic Spikes’ poison to have an immediate effect.
- Black and white, good versus evil, and yin and yang are going to play a major part in the plot. However, unlike previous Pokemon games, the decisions and choices you make will “influence” the plot of the game. If you make “good” choices, you might get certain help or items, whereas “bad” choices could have negative effects. The point is that the plot will not be as cut-and-dry as previous games, changing depending on the player’s actions.
- Tsutaaja, Pokabu, and Mijumaru had rough designs over this past year or so, but in the last few months received major overhauls, becoming the final designs we see today.

Housemarque Discuss The Process Of Adding Stereoscopic 3D To Super Stardust HD
Housemarque have talked about the process and history of adding stereoscopic 3D to Super Stardust HD. they started thinking about adding stereoscopic 3D back in the summer of 2009, but they initially didn't think it would work as they were not going to compromise on 60fps gameplay in the game. the engine behind Super Stardust HD would need alot of work as they also needed to reduce the time it took to draw a frame from the current 16.7ms to 8.3ms.
The team knew that they had 50% of the PS3's SPU power left to use. the core engine to the game was going to be completely replaced. the team moved vertex processing from the GPU to SPU's and merged as many objects as possible into one drawcall. this was done by Autumn, and the first 3D version of Super Stardust HD was up and running. the next issue was a lack of 3D tv's to play the game. the team used the red and green 3d glasses to check the effect until they got 3D TV's in early 2010.
Changing the games engine also bought about benefits for the 2D version, split screen co-op went from 30fps to 60fps and 4x anti aliasing support has been added to 720p, whilst 1920×1080p support has been added. The 3D part of the game runs at 720p at 120fps. People with the game can update it for free now, the updated version if 5.00.

Microsoft Announce Drake is Voicing Jace Stratton In Gears of War 3
Microsoft have announced that Drake is voicing Jace Stratton in Gears of War 3. Jace will be a playable character in the game. Jace Stratton has been a character in the comic books and a character that Epic wanted to bring into a Gears Of War game.
Press Reelase
LONDON – 11th June 2010 - The fastest rising superstar in today’s hip-hop music scene is teaming up with Microsoft Game Studios and Epic Games to lend his voice to the biggest blockbuster game of 2011, “Gears of War 3,” only on Xbox 360. Set to release his much-anticipated debut album, “Thank Me Later,” on June 14, Grammy-nominated recording artist Drake is voicing Jace Stratton, a new playable character in the upcoming finale to one of the most celebrated sagas in video games.
In the finale to one of gaming’s most recognizable sagas, Epic has added four player cooperative campaign gameplay, allowing them to bring characters from the extended “Gears” universe to life.
“Jace is a central character in the comic books, so he was an obvious choice as a character we wanted to bring into the third game,” said Epic Executive Producer Rod Fergusson. “When we began casting for the role, ‘So Far Gone’ had just released and Drake’s combination of heart and grit was just what we were looking for. Rather than search for somebody who sounded like him, it was clear that we should approach him directly… fortunately he turned out to be a huge fan.”
“When Epic came to me with the role, I couldn’t pass it up,” said Drake. “They’ve created an amazing character in Jace, and I’m looking forward to my tour in Delta Squad.”
Developed by acclaimed studio Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, “Gears of War 3” launches worldwide in April 2011, only on Xbox 360. The “Gears of War” series is one of the most popular franchises in Xbox history, having sold more than 12 million copies worldwide and spawning New York Times best-selling novels, an upcoming film and more.
Drake’s debut album, ‘Thank Me Later,’ arrives in stores in the UK on June 14 from Aspire/ Young Money/ Cash Money/ Universal Motown.

Sony Announce MotorStorm Apocalypse Is Coming Exclusively To The PS3 In 2011
Sony has revealed MotorStorm Apocalypse is coming to the PS3 in early 2011. The game is set in a city, which has been modelled on the Bay Area of California, that at first appeared to be deserted after a earth quake but one the "Stormers" start racing they find out its not deserted and the earth quakes haven't finished.
MotorStorm games have a tradition of each track having many ways to complete the circuit. in MotorStorm Apocalypse, this has been taken a step further because any changes to the track in single player remain. for example, if a building collapses during a race, that building remains collapsed throughout the rest of the game, but when you go back to the track new routes would have been cleared.
The Multiplayer mode, Wrecknation, has also been improved and will feature:
* Sixteen player online multiplayer.
* Four player split-screen.
* Combinations of the two. Play with three friends in the living room against 12 more online.
* Massive vehicle customisation. Change vinyls, vehicle parts, vehicle shapes and more. Upload them to the community site and share them with others. They automatically work on all vehicle types, and include your PSN ID.
* Vehicle perks. Modify your handling, boosting and offensive abilities as you unlock new perks.
* A wealth of rankings to progess through online with associated rewards and recognition.
* Stacks of online rewards to earn and persistent progress giving the most determined and successful racers the status and recognition they deserve.
* Persistent matchmaking. Keep your party together throughout your gaming session.
* A Game Mode Creator. From a completely blank canvas you can design your own game rules and victory conditions, play them online, and incorporate them into tournaments.
