Hi there, Vitamin PWN again with GNN, this week I’m going to drop some Skyrim and Gears 3 info on you so prepare yourself for an overload of awesome!

 

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The High King of Skyrim has been murdered, and battle lines are drawn as claims to the throne are made. In the middle of this conflict, an ancient evil has awakened. Dragons, once thought extinct, have returned and are wreaking havoc on Skyrim. As the prophesied dragon born, the future of Skyrim rests in your hands.

 

Dual wielding:

in Skyrim you will be able to dual wield weapons and spells. you will be able to dual wield many combination of weapons, for example you will be able to dual wield two swords, or a sword and spell, or even two spells, or a sword and a staff. There a many different dual wielding combinations. and if dual wielding is not your style you can always use giant 2 handed swords of bows or even just use one sword( but where’s the fun in that?)

 

Shouts:

as a dragon born you will be able to gain powers called shouts by reading ancient writings. There are over 20 different shouts that must be found. Each shout consists of three words that must be found separately. When casting shouts the more of the 3 words you say the more powerful the shout will be.

 

Here’s a list of known shouts

Fus Roh Dah: Fires a shockwave of force energy that stuns and pushes enemies

Liz Slen Nus: Spews a torrent of ice crystals at max level it encases enemies in a block of ice.

Strun Bah Ao: Summons a thunderstorm to strike enemies with lightning Nearby Enemies (outdoor only)

Yol Toor Krein: Allows player to breath fire at enemies Directional

Tiid Klo Ul: Allows player to slow time with respect to enemies Area near player

 

Like other Elder Scroll games expect a ginormous open world to explore with plenty of things to keep you occupied while you play Skyrim. Also expect all the races you love from previous Elder Scroll games to return as well.

TES V: Skyrim comes out 11/11/11

 

 

Gears of war 3:

Eighteen months after the fall of the last human city, the war against the Locust rages on. Meanwhile, deep beneath the surface, a fearsome new threat is infecting the planet from within. With survivors scattered and civilization in ruins, time is running out for Marcus and his comrades as they fight to save the human race.

 

New features:

Gears 3 will feature some new weapons such as the sawed off shot gun, the digger launcher, and for the pyromaniacs the incendiary grenade.

the sawed off shotgun is a four shot shotgun with a wide spread

the digger launcher shoots an explosive charge that digs underground and blows up under enemies (provided you aimed it right :lol: )

and the incendiary grenade is like other grenades expect it blows up in s fiery explosion that covers anything in its blast range in fire.

There is also a single person mech called the silverback that has heavy firepower that you'll be able to pilot.

A new feature added is the mantle kick, while in cover you can jump over the barricade into the enemy and kick them stunning them.

 

 

Multiplayer:

for the first time in Gears of War history there will be a straight death match mode, in Gears death match teams will be given 15 spawns and once they’re gone the last team standing wins. Up to 10 players in multiplayer match with bots filling in any holes if there are less than 10 players

Horde mode returns, in which teams battle waves of Locusts of increasingly difficult skill. But this time there's a monetary system and defensive emplacements. Additionally, every tenth wave will offer up a boss, rather than just standard troops.

New Gears of War 3 is Beast mode. Which is basically the reverse of Horde mode? You play the Locust fending off wave after wave of human as you earn tokens to unlock stronger classes.

If you play Gears of war 3 online on the first week after its released you will score yourself a golden lancer and a golden hammerburst in game

Gears 3 comes out 9/20/11

 

That's it for this week’s GNN, next week expect some info on BF3 and some MW3 (and i don't want to hear any complaining about MW3 or else!)

And remember Stay classy 343industries.org
