Battlefield Heroes pushed back to late 2008

Visually appealing, free-to-play shooter news now, with EA’s post-results conference call revealing a delay for Battlefield Heroes. EA CEO John Riccitiello announced that the game would now launch at the end of 2008, with the developers shifting focus to implementing better “social networking features.” Since we won’t have to pay for the game’s maps, we’ll probably be using stated “social networking features” to figure out how to complain about something else — possibly Burger King ads.

Shipping this week: Now with more Yoda edition
July 28, 2008
Filed under: News, Shipping this week
This is it folks, this week officially marks the release of Soul Calibur IV. You might recall SCIV as the weapons based fighter that features not only ridiculously proportioned female fighters but also Yoda. The Playstation 3 version gets Darth Vader himself, though he might be Force choking his way to the 360 if rumors are to be believed. Also on the release this week are Spectral Force 3 and Summer Athletics The Ultimate Challenge. Spectral Force 3 is a Japanese strategy RPG and Summer Athletics The Ultmate Challenge is … well, honestly, we have no idea. Looking at the title, we’d state someone is looking to cash in on the Olympic Games.

Rumored GH World Tour set list is fake

Filed under: News
We hope you weren’t excited by the supposed Guitar Hero World Tour set list that was ‘leaked’ yesterday. Activision and Red Octane have made it known that the list, which included artists like Tool and The Doors, is a fake. A representative informed Game Informer (see what we did there) that while some of the songs on the list will make it into the game, namely Van Halen’s “Hot for Instructor,” the majority of the list is “wishful thinking and pure speculation.”
But hey, we know it will have “Hot for Instructor,” right That counts for something. Now all we have to do is get Activision to confirm the rest of the set list … one song at a time.
