Tier One Beard – Medal of Honor trailer
Mar 13th
Now it seems that Activision have culled all respect and/or skill from Call of Duty development, it's down to EA to give us innovative Modern Warfare titles... How ironic.
A new Medal of Honor trailer, entitled 'Tier One' (after the cut) shows us most of what we know, in no particular order:
- Guns
- Combat
- Beards
- Combat Beards
- Apache Gunships
- Terrorism
- Insurgency
- Stealth
- Night Vision
- Quad Bikes
- Booby Traps
- Explosions
- Afghanistan
- Sledgehammers & Scalpels (?)
GDC 2010 – Deus Ex drops ‘3′ – now ‘Human Revolution’
Mar 12th
Using '3' in the title was always a silly idea... after all, it was a prequel ffs! Whatever next, Th4if?
Anyway, some marketing bod has obviously come to his/her senses, since GDC 2010 sees a bullshot teaser for the newly christened 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' released into the wild by Squeidosnix or whatever we're supposed to call them these days.
No gameplay, just typical pretentious exposition and CGI, it's after the cut.
Nice shades... JC would be proud!
GDC 2010 – War for Cybertron interview
Mar 12th
War for Cybertron is edging closer and keeps looking better and better. What's more, High Moon Studios are fans of the Transformers metaverse and seem to want to do things right.
In an interview with Game Trailers at the GDC (after the cut), Matt Tieger relates the Civil War back story and the backwards-up approach taken when developing the game ('get a good game working, then stick a license on top', as opposed to 'here's some money and a license, get it working by next week').
If this works, it could be very, very good, especially when 3-way co-op, 2 distinct campaigns, class-based gameplay and transformation are taken into account.
Thanks RPS.
Shank Trailer – Bloody Marvelous!
Mar 10th
Shank has a lot of people interested...
Whether it's the Penny Arcade-esque imagery, the Streets of Rage gameplay or the metric shit-ton of violence, it just can't seem to hit our desktops/consoles quick enough. The fact it has been picked up by EA Partners is even better.
There's a trailer after the cut from the GDC. It might be loosely considered 'Not Safe For Work'.
Transformative Years – War for Cybertron footage
Feb 27th
The teaser trailer for War for Cybertron didn't give a lot away... The bullshot rendered movie showed everyone where they were intending to go but didn't drop much in the way of gameplay.
As a result, reservations were cast and everyone moved on, leaving everyone firmly divided into either the 'wait and see' or 'it'll be a pile of poo' camp. After all, every other attempt to provide a video game outlet for everyone's favourite Robots in Disguise has been average at best.
Well, now Activision have given us a trailer, which lives after the cut.
Space Explosions… IN SPACE! – Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer
Jan 23rd
Like Infinity Ward & (possibly) Valve, some people at BioWare obviously want to make movies... Big booming grand epics with loads of gravitas.
Evidence A - The Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer
Hey there gurd-looking! – Mass Effect 2 Cinematic Trailer
Jan 5th
It's official - 
Venice-based Blur Studios do some good shit. They even made the only decent bit of the hateful Transformers movie tie-in game.
They have since done a cinematic* trailer for Mass Effect 2 and it looks very nice in its obscenely highly detailed character model-ness.
Find it after the cut...
* - in the truest sense - it's showing with Avatar in multiplexes around the various countries, apparently. Now you too can expose your children/spouse/significant others to violent mutant frogs.
Bats^2 – Arkham Asylum 2 announced
Dec 13th
I liked Arkham Asylum... so much a little wee nearly came out when the news came in - Batman is back.
No doubt Arkham Asylum 2 is going to be a placeholder name, although seeing as the Asylum has seemingly managed to move brick-by-brick to the middle of the city, it's a surprisingly accurate description.
It's probably not worth expecting to much change (it's to soon for anything more radical than new locations and baddies), but there's nothing wrong with face-punching goons whilst dressed in a cape and wearing your underwear on the outside.
You can start looking for the famous institution here and hit the jump for the teaser trailer...
*sqwee* Transformers : The War for Cybertron trailer
Dec 12th
Before I start, I completely understand that this might turn out too be a pile of turgid shit.
Transformers is one of those licenses that seem a sure-fire easy way to make the best game in the world ever, yet often falls flat on its face in execution. Actually, following the unchecked brilliance of Arkham Asylum, I think it's safe to say that it's top of the misused license pile following Batman's departure
Still, War for Cybetron is set prior to first contact with Earth (re: no squishy humans), features lots of animated robot violence and is set for Xbox 360, PS3 & Games for Windows.
Fan service is catered for with appearances by Bumblebee, Ironhide, Megatron, Omega Supreme, Optimus Prime (ofc), Ratchet, Soundwave and Thundercracker confirmed by the Game Informer reveal.
Teaser after the cut - more details as we find them out.
