Cloud Monday - Skydrift Infinity - A Fun Arcade Racing Game BUT Avoid The Online

In today's Cloud Monday, I'm playing Skydrift Infinity. I didn't know anything about this game other than the screenshots and video that were on the game's page.

So i was pleasantly surprised to find a fun arcade flying racing game. this was the first racing game i've played for Cloud Monday and i was interested to see how the cloud streaming would hold up to such a fast paced game. it wasn't perfect. there were several instances of the video quality dipping or becoming blocky. there were other instances of the grey tears here and there across the screen. thankfully controlling the game felt fine. it was different from other racing games i've played but it felt like it was because of what i was controlling rather than any lag introduced to the game via cloud streaming.

But, and a big one as you can see in the title. i had to quit the game because i got stuck in online. i have a Japanese PlayStation 4 and so the O and X buttons are often swapped. some games will automatically swap these back to a European standard. some won't. this game did and didn't do it! so more than once i would find that the buttons did the opposite. in the online section, that you can see near the end of the video, none of the buttons would allow me to exit. it left me with no choice but to close the game and try again. But then the PSN failed to restart the game and gave me an error screen. i had waited for several minutes and decided to end the game there. i say avoid the online because i can't say for sure if it is operational, if there's a bug which is stopping it working, or whether i had a unique issue.

THQ Have Detailed The New Weather System In Company Of Heroes 2, Makes The Soviet Winter As Big A Threat As The Opposition

THQ have revealed some more details for it's 2013 upcoming PC Company Of Heroes 2 game. Company Of Heroes 2 makes use of their new Essence Engine 3.0 and ColdTech System  to simulate a soviet winter. this means temperatures in the game can reach as low as -40 'F, temperatures which can cause human skin to freeze in minutes. in the game, this means exposed infantry units will gradually freeze to death unless the player keeps them warm by building fires or garrisoning them in buildings. it won't just be the cold that's simulated, blizzards are also in the game and just as deadly.

The snow in the game is just as dynamic. it can accumulate on buildings and vehicles or be melted and removed from objects by the player. the snow has depth and can affect troop movements. Ice is also a factor in the game, it can affect troop movements but it can also be used as a weapon. it can collapse/be destroyed from underneath, dropping the opposition into freezing waters.

THQ And Volition have announced the Saints Row: The Third Enter The Dominatrix is now not coming out. instead, this once standalone expansion is now going to be incorporated into the next Saints Row game tentatively titled "The Next Great Sequel in the Saints Row Franchise.”

THQ President Jason Rubin has explained this decision:
"When I looked at the  Enter The Dominatrix expansion in production at Volition, I was blown away by the ideas and desire to expand the fiction of the franchise,” said Jason Rubin, THQ’s President. “I asked the team what it could achieve given more time, more resources, and a broader scope for the project. We all agreed we wanted to play that   game. When it comes to Saints Row, it’s clear our fans want bigger, better, and even more over the top, and that’s why  Enter The Dominatrix will now be incorporated into a vastly expanded, full-fledged sequel, scheduled for calendar 2013.”
