Gamin' NEWS! Hitman news and, hey, remember Binary Domain?
Here's some little updates on upcoming games of interest.
Gosh, I sound so smart when I want to.
First of all, finally some gameplay of the upcoming new Hitman game Hitman: Absolution.
I absolutely love this series.
It kinda disappear off track, so I'm guessing most of the current gaming generations has no idea what these games are like.
Always loved the interactivity, the rich and interesting universe/gameplay of the series. Where you could plan a dozen scenarios to execute your "contracts".
This one's still developed by series creator IO Interactive. (unlike Core Design with the Tomb Raider series, another classic from Eidos)
Check it out:
This one's coming somewhen in 2012.
And what's more to it, there's already rumors of yet another Hitman up next coming on the shelves.
Square Enix have already basically confirmed it, somehow.
You see, since Square Enix is barely selling games these days, and since they also acquired Eidos alongside all their old franchises, they confirmed their plan to develop ten strong franchises.
And a copyright just showed up recently:
It seems another game starring Agent 47's coming, this one titled Hitman: Profession.
Probably developed either by another studio or back in intern at Square Enix.
Either way, I'm not liking much the idea.
That's like, with the upcming Max Payne 3 at Rockstar. Imagine another game coming up, this one's developed by Remedy. Which one would you be the most awaiting for? The "fake one", cash-in, developed by the publisher to make money on one of their ips, with a new direction, radical shift in the presentation and tone...or the other one coming up from the series' creators?
~
Anyways, here's something else.
Remember Binary Domain?
That random over-the-top 3rd person shooter from Monkey Ball and Yakuza creator?
Sega just released another trailer for it finally!
This one's coming up around February 24.
It's looking great, probably one of the sleeper hits of the year. (and by hit I mean fun playing good looking enjoyable game, not "money-selling" hit...)

Gamin' NEWS! VGA Awards - various new trailers
So, once more Spike TV hosted their famous VGA Awards.
The Spike Video Game Awards 2011 to be precise. (but people tend to repeat Awards after VGA for some reason...)
Besides the random events due to their annoucements, silly announcers, star power hosting the show and whatnot, they also had a bunch of new trailers for many of the upcoming games.
(I mean...That's why I only check the latest game trailers instead of the whole event-thingie.)
Amongst those of interest to me, there was some news regarding my most expected titles of 2012. Like Mass Effect, Bioshock and many others!
Let's check 'em out, okay? :)
First up, right when nobody was expecting it, there's more Duke Nukem Forever coming!
(I hear you booo-ying already...)
('reminds me I should put up DNF's review up one of these days....)
It's set in Area 51 and will actually be some more offline campaign.
Once you’ve done that, you may not be interested in playing more, but, well, the option is available, as 2K Games today announced The Doctor Who Cloned Me, a single-player add-on set in Area 51.And here's the unique pic so far:
The Doctor Who Cloned me costs $9.99, launches everywhere on December 13, and includes new enemies, bosses, weapons, achievements and additional places to interact with for an ego boost. There are also four multiplayer maps--Sky-High, Command, Drop Zone, Biohazard--to run around in.
Give me much better designed maps (my main problem with the original game...so linear, boring, lazy levels design and graphics...) and SECRETS! Loads of 'em! And perhaps I'll be able to start to forgive this mess of a game..
Next up, Agent 47 is in back in the long-awaited next chapter of the Hitman franchise, Hitman: Absolution!
I gotta tell ya guys and gals, this is looking great so far! I can't wait enough to try this one.
The mix of CGi (from the game's intro?) and actual in-game graphics didn't even bother me, it just showcases how nicely this is shaping up.
I missed Agent 47!
The Hitman games were so much fun, you could play them stealth killer-style or go nuts guns ablazin'!
I hope Square Enix didn't get too much of an executive control, the game would suffer from it. Let the developers have fun with this one!
To stay on the subject (kinda), here's finally the reveal trailer of Alan Wake: American Nightmare.
Which seems to be a "What if..?" kinda episode which will be available for DLC only (no original game need..so, huh, it's an Arcade title on digital story if you want).
Alan Wake's American Nightmare finds our literary hero pitted against his doppelganger Mr. Scratch to keep the world from going to hell.Enjoy the ride:
It looks a bit more action oriented than last time.
Looking nice indeed!
Let's see something completely different on the other hand:
It's The Amazing Spider-Man, the video game adaptation of the (rebooted) movie of the same name.
Activision and Beenox are promising an open world environment this time. So I'm sure it will sell well, and people will love it...but I'm already missing the more structured level-based titles.. (Shattered Dimensions still is my current favorite Spidey game)
The recently announced new Transformers: Fall of Cybertron also gets a brand new trailer:
Wow! Lookin quite badass for silly toy robots in CGi! (Ha!)
This one is an original title rather than a movie adaptation, it is the follow-up to War of Cybertron. A 3rd person shooter.
Speaking of, the long awaited final episode of the famous scifi RPG trilogy Mass Effect 3 gets a brand new kickass trailer!
This one is mostly composed of actual gameplay footage, which looks amazing if you ask me!
Woah!
This is looking great!
Though it's funny how the series transitioned from the RPG genre to the 3rd Person Shooter genre through the 3 installments. Doesn't bother me since I'm not a big RPG fan to begin with. (I hate grinding system mechanics forcing you to gather points of experience TO BE ABLE to shoot an enemy rather than being able to correctly aim at an enemy directly and be rewarded for your own gameplay rather than stats...)
Anyway, cannot wait for this one! :D
On the opposite spectrum, here's something unexpected!
Remember the Tony Hawk skating games? Yeah...those used to be good or at least fun enough to have a good time once in a while. The series had so many entries and spinoff since then, I doubt anyone was able to follow all that!
Anyway, they just announced a brand new title...and it's an old title to be exact.
A compilation!
Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD will be a collection of the first two games!
The teased Tony Hawk game was revealed in a red carpet segment during the Spike VGA preshow. It is called Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, and it takes from the first two THPS titles to make a soft of best-of game. Of course, they'll also get a HD upgrade. Hawk says that this will be a digital release, and it will be priced under $20.
More details will be released later in the show.
Ha!
What? I find that hilarious!
Let's have a look at yet another fighting game now.
One of my most awaited releases of 2012!
Live!
Pretty nice B)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is expected for an holiday 2012 release.
And here's some gameplay fro the VGA:
Looking great! :D
Always had a preference for Tekken Tag over the "normal" Tekken entries. It's just a much more random and fun variant of the series (unlike Tekken 4, which was a less fun and more bland entry of the series...in actual 3D - gameplay-wise)
Finally, let's finish this post on a great note.
Here's the prettiest, most awaited title (at least, on my part) and original looking game of the whole show!
BioShock Infinite!!
"Step back into the flying city of Columbia and get a glimpse at all-new enemies in this trailer from the Spike TV Video Game Awards of 2011!"
This game is looking amazing!
Outstanding!
And I love the art style and colors here.
It annoys me how people complain it's not "gritty" or "realistic" enough. It's not cartoony! (and being "cartoony" shouldn't be a problem ya bunch of crybabies!!)
It has a very distinct and unique looking art direction, and I love it, the more reasons for it.
For once a games steps back from the usual Unreal-engined powered generic look.
And dares standing out!
This flying steampunk world is looking gorgeous!
Give me some of dat! >__<

Gamin' NEWS! Shooters and adventurers, ahoy!
On today's program, sequels!
Hitman is finally back, The Darkness gets a numero dos, and Larry will come back soon...
Hitman is BACK! Looking mighty badass in Hitman: Absolution!
I can't wait to see Agent 47 back in full HD glory this time around.
I loved the previous games, besides some technical problems that prevented me from ever finishing Contracts, they were very good games worth exploring.
You could playing it guns ablazing or more tactical like a professional stealth assassin. Great games!
Here's a sequel nobody was asking for, from a game most didn't even knew about...
The Darkness II is a sequel to 2007's The Darkness, which was in fact an adaptation from a Top Cow comic. The original game was a pretty good title developed by Vin Diesel's own gaming studio Starbreeze. This time around 2K Games got Digital Extremes to make this one, and it's scheduled to be released in February 2012.
Looking pretty fun actually!
On the Adventure side of gaming genres (sounds like a mouthful, right?), here's a new trailer for the upcoming Jurassic Park game:
This one has a lot on its shoulders. Not regarding to its quality. But the fact that most games based on JP thus far have been solid pretty good titles in their own.
From the 8 bits to the 16 bits and even the park builder title on PC from a couple years back, most of them if not all have been fantastic games so far!
Will this be the weak link of the family?
And finally, Leisure Suit Larry.
The popular classic Larry franchise from the good ol' Sierra On-Line days will make a come back in our HD era.
[Above: More than two decades and seven Windows OS later...]
Replay Games was able to obtain the rights to the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, thanks to the fact that Activision didn't pick up the rights back after the closure of Vivendi Universal.
And they will re-release the original series, as well as start working on all new adventures, beginning in 2012, the year that marks the series’ 25th anniversary.
And if that wasn't enough, they even brought back series creator Al Lowe on board!
You can read more on Lowe back on the series here on EGM Now.
After Vivendi Universal took the rights off Al Lowe hands after the successful LSL7, they made one simpler cheaper LSL: Magna Cum Laude and another even worse LSL: Box Office Bust that made the former look like an award winning AAA-title game in comparison...
Will the series be back in right and due form?
Check out the first screens of this remake!
BEST NEWS of the year!! Yeah!
I hope it's well animated, as good or better than LSL7 was.
I'm fearing a cheap flahs-like budget remake...
The first of these remake is scheduled for release sometime early next year, on most system (so I'm guessing, Wiiware, Xboxlive, PSN, Steam, iPhone/Pad/Pod, etc..) and the sequels will follow depending on the success of this one.

Gamin' NEWS! New Hitman game announced!
New Hitman game announced finally!
And it's about damn' time :P
The last one was in 2006.
IO Interactive just announced their return to this series with the upcoming Hitman: Absolution.
Since a lot of time passed since last time, the game will now be running on an all-new engine!
The Glacier 2 engine tech and will be both "familiar and yet significantly different from other Hitman games."
The plot is rumoured to send Agent 47 at the center of a "dark conspiracy" where he will have go in a "personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world."
I still think that live Hitman movie killed the franchise (for a while). It's gonna be fun see Agent 47 take back his place in the gaming world, after loads of pretenders followed up on his footsteps these past years. (The Saboteur, Velvet Assassin, etc..)
