7 Awesome Betas You Should Sign Up For

MP1st.com writes "There are two kinds of Betas. One that is primarily used as a promotional tool for a game’s hype building machine; the other is launched so that developers can test their games and servers with a bigger audience and ask for feedback to fine tune and tweak the final version. Today, we’ve compiled a list of 7 betas that we think you should look into regardless of the kind."

iXenon4625d ago

Can't wait for that Revelations beta!

Criminal4625d ago

Battlefield 3 is my pick. I'm so psyched for it.

john24625d ago

I'd choose both Diablo 3 and BF3 :D

Mister_V4625d ago

Anything with a '3' in it seems good I guess!

xruiner894625d ago

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive open beta is confirmed to start in October and will be an exclusive to PC and possibly Mac.

xtremexx4625d ago

im new to Blizzard games so i guess im not going to be in the Diablo 3 beta lol, but defo BF3

Gran Touring4625d ago

You just gotta get lucky with their games. My buddy played nearly every Blizzard game made, and didn't get into the SCII or Diablo III betas.

Criminal4625d ago

I find it weird that no one mentioned Gotham City. I think the game looks cool.

Criminal4625d ago

What I like about Blizzard games, even though I don't play them often, is that you know that their games are quality.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.

All those games had to release without bugs.

Comebacks shouldnt be a thing in videogames. Just saying.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai211d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits211d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf211d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits211d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws211d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf211d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos211d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils210d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno211d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.
