Jagex Gives Players Chance to Name Characters In Transformers Universe

 

Jagex has announced a really exciting contest for their upcoming game, Transformers Universe. The game itself is due out in 2012 and will let players experience a Massively Multiplayer Online game set in the iconic Transformers world, with a battle raging between the Autobots and the Decepticons.

 

The contest that Jagex is running is in conjuntion with their activities at New York City Comic-Con for the game. Players are being given the option to name both the Autobot and Decepticon player classes for one particular class. Jagex is running a poll with three predetermined choices for each faction as well as a spot to write in your own suggestion. The most popular entry will win when the contest closes on October 16th.

 

Managing Editor Bill Murphy said, “This is a truly exciting event for MMO and TRANSFORMERS fans to have a chance to do and we are really just ecstatic to be exclusively hosting one of the polls. Fan and player involvement at this stage of development is unprecedented and I think people will be floored to have a chance at influencing the names of two of the classes in this hugely anticipated game.” Voting on MMORPG.com will run at the same time as the first poll and will open at 4:00 PM EDT on Thursday October 13, and will close at 6:00 PM EDT Sunday October 16.

 

Fans wishing to cast their vote should visit http://www.mmorpg.com/transformers_universe_poll.cfm to find out more.

Sony suspends PSN accounts after hack attack

Sony has locked down up to 93.000 user accounts following an attack on the company’s servers. A similar attack earlier this year took down the PlayStation Network for several weeks.

 

Hackers attempted to access secure data held on the PlayStation Network, Sony Entertainment Network and the Sony Online Entertainment service using what the company described on the PlayStation Blog as a ‘massive’ set of login IDs and passwords.

 

Sony’s Chief Information Security Officer, Philip Reitinger, posted a statement to the PlayStation blog which described the attack and the steps Sony is taking to secure their networks.

 

“We want to let you know that we have detected attempts on Sony Entertainment Network, PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment […] services to test a massive set of sign-in IDs and passwords against our network database.

 

“As a preventative measure, we are requiring secure password resets for those PSN/SEN accounts that had both a sign-in ID and password match through this attempt. If you are in the small group of PSN/SEN users who may have been affected, you will receive an email from us at the address associated with your account that will prompt you to reset your password.”

 

A much larger attack in April of this year forced Sony to take the PlayStation Network offline after millions of user accounts were compromised and personal information was stolen from the company’s servers. Sony drew criticism at the time for not reacting quickly enough or acknowledging the problem until it was too late. Reitingier, a former US Homeland Security official, was hired in the wake of that PR disaster, used his statement to advise users on how to choose secure passwords and to be vigilant for ‘unusual’ activity in their accounts.

Tribes: Ascend closed beta kicks off November 4.

As reported on Eurogamer, a Tribes Ascend closed beta is due to kick off on November 4. You can sign up for the beta on the official Tribes Ascend site.

 

The info came from Cyberlink‘s interview with COO at Hi-Rez Studios, Todd Harris.

 

There are three ways to get in the beta. Apply on the website and wait for a code, keep an eye on the Hi-Rez Facebook and twitter pages or pre-order. That’ll give you access to the VIP Starter Kit, which includes beta access, a 33% cost saving, and some bonus VIP features. We’ll update as soon as you’re able to lay down the cash.

 

Todd highlights that the VIP Starter Kit won’t be a “buy one get everything pack” but “a way to get VIP status in the game which will put you in a more elite set of queues.” Players will also get a bunch of in-game gold and some form of booster. “It gives you a pretty compelling starter experience,” he says.

Woman Sues Over Drive Trailer

Lawsuit claims she was promised Fast & Furious but got art.

 

A Michigan woman so disliked the critically acclaimed Drive that she has filed suit against distributor FilmDistrict over feeling misled about what movie she claims the trailer had promised her.

 

According to The Hollywood Reporter (via WDIV-TV), Sarah Deming's suit claims FilmDistrict "promoted the film Drive as very similar to the Fast and Furious, or similar, series of movies." Instead, she got an artsy drama with some action in it.

 

Furthermore, the lawsuit claims "Drive bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film… having very little driving in the motion picture. … Drive was a motion picture that substantially contained extreme gratuitous defamatory dehumanizing racism directed against members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith."

 

But that's not all. She also wants a refund for her movie ticket and wants her case to lead to a class-action lawsuit against Hollywood to halt the making of "misleading movie trailers."

 

Does the plaintiff have a point about "misleading movie trailers" when it comes to Drive? Sound off in the Comments below!
