The week ending October 15th News – * Kingdom Hearts 2.5HD has been announced for PS3. This compilation will contain Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, Birth by Sleep Final Mix and a cinematic retelling of RE:Coded all in HD. This compilation will launch in 2014. * In a recent interview it was revealed that Sony were pushing hard for the inclusion of the PS Eye camera to be bundled with every PS4 console. Sony had to exclude the camera due to costs as they are already going to be selling the PS4 at a loss and didn’t want to break the $550 AUD price point. * Rockstar has announced that any players that have experienced problems with the launch of GTA Online will be reimbursed with in-game money. A large patch for GTA Online is expected later this week. * In other GTA news the rapper Daz Dillinger has filed a lawsuit against Rockstar in regards to including one of his songs in the game supposedly without his consent. Daz is asking that all unsold copies of the game be recalled and destroyed. * It has been announced that the upcoming Injustice GOTY edition and DLC of Assassins Creed IV will not be launching on Wii U, continuing the trend of features or entire games being overlooked on the console. * In an interview it was revealed that The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD was completed in 6 months with a very small team and that there is a strong likelihood that there will be other HD Zelda remakes. * A new game in the Sleeping Dogs universe titled Triad Wars will be launching in 2014. No platforms are announced at this time. Did you know – * In Doom 2, the final boss of the game is a giant skull of a goat stuck to the wall where you have to shoot rockets into it’s exposed brain. Using a no clip cheat you can enter into the area of the exposed brain to find infamous programmer John Romero’s head on a stake. The head on a stake is the actual hit register point of the boss, meaning that the rocket explosions are hitting the head away from the sight of the player. Also if you reverse and up the pitch of the noise that the boss makes you can clearly hear “To win the game, you must kill me, John Romero.” Romero helped program Doom 2 and is well known to include easter eggs in his games.
