The Digital Vine - 5/20/10

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has confirmed that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood will have a multiplayer beta. The time or parameters have not been released yet, but at least we know something is on the way. It'll be interesting to see how Ubisoft incorporates multiplayer into a game that has traditionally been single player only.

Bioware is releasing a patch for Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox 360. The most notable improvement is the increased planet scanning speed. The often tedious task has series fans split on wether the mechanic should even be in the game in the first place. Below you'll find the entire list of fixes in the patch notes.

• Scanning for minerals has been optimized

• Fixed an issue with marking all entries as viewed in the Journal

• Fixed an issue relating to text and the menu screen

• Fixed an issue relating to players starting a new game and loading a save

• Fixed multiple issues when loading a save containing DLC when DLC isn’t present

• Fixed an issue with ammo flashing when it can’t be picked up

• Fixed an issue with crosshairs

• Fixed an issue with Grunt’s Fortification power

• Fixed an issue with enemies and cover

• Fixed an issue where players could receive additional talent points

• Fixed an issue where squad members would overwrite ammo powers the player had assigned them

Heavy Rain is one step closer to becoming a feature film. Production company Unique Features is reportedly about to seal the deal having beat out all other bids. While at New Line, company executives Robert Shaye and Michael Lynne previously produced Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings films and the Nightmare on Elm Street series.
