OH YEAH!!! Capcom officially announced that a Resident Evil 6 has emerged and boy could any Resi fan get anymore excited!?!?
A recent trailer to the game was released not too long ago and it shows the return of former S.T.A.R.S member, Chris Redfield and rookie cop turned special agent, Leon S Kennedy, in what looks like the game is going back to it’s “Old Roots”, with that I think they mean going back to the classic zombie apocalypse virus outbreak rather that stick to that story of the Las Plagas that not many of us actually liked.
From what the story in the trailer is trying to tell us is something to do with the President of the United States announcing that he is revealing the truth about the virus outbreak as it starts infecting the entire country and it’s upto Leon and Chris to save the world once again, although this time, there is a third party trying to stop this outbreak, however the details on this is no very clear, I’m sure all will be revealed when the game gets closer to release!
And the release date you say….. the 20th November 2012 so you don’t have to wait until next year for this as it’s closer than I thought.
Although from previous games, some fans aren’t happy with the series, some coz of how Resi 5 was and that it was supposed to become the final game in the saga but rest assure that this game looks AWESOME! Check below for the official trailer to the game
Bethesda recently released the official trailer to the upcoming DLC for Fallout New Vegas, Lonesome Road.
The story behind Lonesome Road brings the Courier’s story full circle when you are contacted by the original “courier six”, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum chip at the start of the main storyline in Fallout: New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job – a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by frequent earthquakes and violent storms. This is the fabled location of the battle between the Courier and Ulysses.The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.
The trailer to Lonesome Road can be viewed below:
Some screenshots of the DLC for New Vegas can be shown below, click the thumbnails for a large showing of each picture
Bethesda Softworks submitted the official trailer to the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas downloadable content, Honest Hearts, earlier today, it shows what sort of people you will meet and face but it seems to be more of a tribal theme with possible “Factions” system in use here too, which will split the fans 50/50. Have a look for yourself in the embedded video below:
The DLC will be released this month, exact date is said to be the 17th of May, for all 3 consoles, Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3. Although with the PSN still down until the end of the month, no one knows when PS3 owners will actually get the DLC but Honest Hearts will be released for all 3 at the same time (If you minus out PSN for a second) so no exclusive head start for Xbox owners.
Bethesda, the company behind Elder Scrolls and Fallout, has released an exclusive trailer to the upcoming New Vegas DLC, Dead Money. (You can see the trailer at the bottom of this post)
From what it sounds like, you and several other have been captured and been rigged with explosive collars (Pretty common in Fallout, must be some sort of fetish, haha! I’m joking), don’t do what this stranger says and it will be the end of you, do it right and he will let you go but there is a twist. A few others have become slaves also and the rules state that if one dies, all will die, so you have to try your best to keep your newly found friends alive while completing this slaver’s mission.
Sounds really fun! Can’t wait to purchase it myself, the DLC will be released globally on the 21st of December 2010 for Xbox 360 and early next year for PC and PS3. So for 360 owners of New Vegas, you could say this is Bethesda’s way of saying “Merry Christmas!” for you able to get the DLC first and before Xmas day too! What a great way to spend Xmas, playing Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money!
Here is my full preview of the upcoming Koei game, Hokuto Musou or Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage in the English version
The game’s style of play should be familiar to most Koei players, if you have played Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors, and like it, you will like this. Although if your new to this sort of thing, you could be disappointed but we never know, you may love it after playing it for a couple of days.
The game is based on the 80s japanese anime series, Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star).
In a post-apocalyptic world after the nuclear war, the human race is in a desperate struggle to survive, they will do anything to live, steal, attack, even kill to gain power, money, food and water, it’s survival of the fittest but one man will fight to save the poor and destroy the power hungry gangs of this barren world, that man is Kenshiro.
Kenshiro is a master of a secret fighting art called Houkto Shinken, commonly translated as Divine Fist of the North Star, a deadly art in which should only be used if the user thinks it’s right to do so. He in search of his love, Yuria, who has been kidnapped by Shin, Kenshiro’s former friend now rival. Kenshiro also has another goal in mind, to defeat his brother, Raoh, who is “Conqueror of Century’s End” so the saying goes and is Kenshiro’s main rival.
Now….. If you heard or watched the anime, you will know that it’s very gory and has lots of blood with the odd nudity and rape so the anime is not for the faint-hearted but the game is a toned down version of the anime although the blood is still there so its still good for the fans at least
The music to the game is made by MASA, the man behind the Dynasty Warriors soundtracks so expect a mixture of orchestral and heavy rock, which kinda suits the theme of it.
The graphics looks quite detailed and the gameplay seems to be surprisingly fast, if you look past the slow movement that is. The voices can be altered in the european version from English to Japanese in the sound options which is good for fans, like myself.
There are alterations in the european version from the japanese version:
More guts and gore
The AI has been improved
Hopefully some bugs fixed
Slightly polished graphics
The obvious english translation
The game has around 8 playable characters, good and evil characters, each with their own storylines when played in the story mode:
Kenshiro
Raoh
Toki
Jagi
Rei
Shin
Mamiya
Thouzer
Heart (DLC release only)
The game also contains the following modes in the Main Menu:
Legend Mode – A mode completely focused on the story on Kenshiro as he goes through the world until he fights his rival, Raoh
Dream Mode – This is basically a story mode for the other playable characters
Challenge Mode – Play against a continuous wave of enemies, it acts like a Survival Mode
Introduction Mode – Those new to the game can play this, it’s basically a Tutorial Mode
Gallery – This mode lets you view photos, renders, music and movies unlocked during playing the game’s modes
Options pretty much speaks for itself, alter sound, controls, enable health gauges, translations of voices from English to Japanese and alter the level of blood and gore
The game is released in Europe on November 5th 2010 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, with an American release possibly around the same date
If your a fan of the anime series or a DW/SW fan, this game is one for you and even if you haven’t even heard of it before, it’s worth having a crack at when it is released.
In the wise words of Kenshiro….. “You’re Already Dead!”
This is the Dead Space 2 trailer that EA have released recently, I loved the first game so I’m in high hope about this one, sadly, it isn’t out till 2011 but this should give us a taste of what horrors await in space….
