#AprilsFool - Assassin's Creed for Kinect & Sega Bass Fishing of the Dead

Another one I wanted to post here, just 'cause.

Yeah, we might be April 2 already, but it's not a reason to miss this awesome Kinect Assassin's Creed trailer Ubisoft released yesterday :P



I dunno for you, but I find this one hilarious! XD

Update! Oh, and how could I forget Sega's awesome Sega Bass Fishing of the Dead!!?



For the Wii-U, obviously! XD
This one was Sega of America's April's fool. Sega of Europe was that other one.

Gamin NEWS! "people fighting, someone's wrath and a domain in binary code...."


And here's some more trailers from the TGS 2011.
On today's menu: people fighting, someone's wrath and a domain in binary code....

First let's check out the upcoming new "Project Soul" entry, Soul Calibur V!
It's one of those games, I'm not actually really awaiting for it. But I guess I'll end up trying it at some point later on, nonetheless.



 Newly announced additions: returning Astaroth and newcomer Viola.

Re-skinned characters, be it the newbies or the old faces.
Such a "glowy" game. It's kinda like that modern Star Trek movie...

Kinda tired of this series. Nothing much change, not even graphically.
The shuffle of the cast is "ok".
The games looks decent though.


Now, for something else, here's the latest trailer for the highly anticipated new Capcom (original IP) game Asura's Wrath!



"See Ma, I don't need no arms!!"
XD

This looks like such a fun badass game afterall!


And finally, another upcoming Sega game.
Binary Domain shows us yet another new trailer:



This over the top action game is look great so far!
This Vanquish-inspired title from Yakuza games developers will be released with a mic/headphones set in Japan only, for a 10.000 limited exemplars edition. For the co-op multiplayer mode, on both PS3 and Xbox 360. The game will also be able use Kinect alongside a controller (finally a game that does that!).

And here's some more videos released through its official website:



and



Looking neat! :)

Gamin' NEWS! Chainsaws, lollipops and nightmares

 
Here's a new round of video game trailers~
Today, Chainsaws, lollipops and nightmares!!
First, here's Grasshopper Manufacture's latest venture.



It's called Lollipop Chainsaw!
Random! Yep! That's why it might actually be fun.
It's another crazy idea from the mind of creative director Suda51.

mock up cover.

It looks like a big budget Oneechanbara. A B-movie-like gaming series of hack'n'slash games.
This game looks similar in spirit and gameplay (but will surely control better and smoother).
Though as fun as it looks it lacks kinda of Oneechanbara grindhouse/cheesy tone. Lollipop Chainsaw seems only to feature the same content/theme and not the same "tone" if that makes sense.

Here's a recent interview:



I have to admit, at first I wasn't much interested in it. But it could turn out great!


And at SEGA, here's another horror-themed game.
This one, the only Xbox "Kinect" game that have had me interested in this gimmick controller:



Very fun lil' trailer^^
Rise of Nightmares seems to be an unofficial new entry in the House of the Dead series. (though, why didn't Sega use that ip? it looks, sounds and plays the same as HoD! and it's a marketable name who'd even boost some sales in the long term I'm sure!)


And that's it for the day, for now~

SDCC - Various video game trailers and gameplay vids


Here's a bunch of new video game trailers from this year's San Diego Comic-Con!
Including some comic book games like the new Spider-man, X-men destiny.. And some other anticipated games like the new Kid Icarus, Street Fighter X Tekken and more~
Firt up, let's check out 2 new trailers for Capcom's Street Fighter X Tekken.


A Street Fighter specific trailer:



Nooo...they brought back Poison? Aaah...
I'd much rather have Mike Haggar or Hugo from Final Fight..

And here's the Tekken trailer:



I like seeing this crew get SF-ified. Hopefully we get a look a Namco's Tekken X Street Fighter soon!


Here's that new Kid Icarus in action who's leaving the classic sidescrolling gameplay back for a new Rail Shooter apporach not unlike Sega's Panzer Dragoon series.



Neat-o!


Now have a look at that uninspired Kinect Star Wars game...



...Which looks like an akward QTE game, using Kinect motion instead of buttons!
Man... the effect may be nice and all...but it lacks so much charm... Where's the good Star Wars games? Oh right... all the other ones beside Kinect Star Wars :P


And now back to comics with Beenox & Activision's Spider-Man: Edge of Time!
The game seems to be a darker Spider-man Shattered Dimensions..which is too bad, I loved its colored look and art style.
Here's a little interview sharing some tidbits:



Looking decent.
Though I'm not a fan of the art style. The gameplay might be decent but this 2099 is too clean and the Classic Spider-man looks a bit tad dark. Why didn't they keep Shattered Dimensions design?


And finally, here's X-Men Destiny in its full trailer glory:

 

Looking nice. Like a sort of X-men Legends where you are the hero, heh?
The new characters don't seem that inspired apart from the japanese gal though...


And that is all for this post I guess :P

E3 NEWS! lots MOAR trailers PartII



Here's a bunch of new trailers from some announcement straight from this year's E3 expo :P
(with my own comments and view on all that)
First off, let's start with Ninja Gaiden 3. The first modern NG to be made by the new Team Ninja without its ol' chief Itagaki, and Tecmo.




Looks decent enough so far. Kinda good looking hack & slash game.
And the first one to be uncensored on the PS3 (so far all PS3 NG conversions had been cut on the bloody aspect)
Kinda generic, but I'm sure fans will like this one.


And now, some gameplay footage from Bethesda Softworks & id Software first game under new partnership, RAGE!



Nice, very nice!
Love how iD updated their engine.
Looking deep, beautiful and quite fun. Hope it doesn't get boring or too gimmicky near its second half (of the game).


Meanwhile Peter Molyneux gets creative with his franchise and offers us this interview:




I've never been interested much in this series, but with Fable: The Journey it seems Microsoft Game Studios and Lionhead Studiosare trying to destroy a series with some potential into a generic Kinect kiddie rail shooter... And a poorly inspired one at that :P


And now, the launch trailer for Techland's Dead Island!



A very interesting zombie game that I'd suggest you keep an eye on :P
Not quite "multiplayer random" like L4D (which is good enough for what it is, calm down L4D fans!!).
Not quite "single player sandbox" like the Dead Rising games.
Seems like a good mix of both. And some survival aspects to it (few ammo to manage, scarce health around, etc..)


Microsoft continues to try selling us their Kinect, now with some more actual games
and
licenses!



It's Kinect Star Wars!
It's a bit laggy!
It's probably just a cutscene playing on the background with a guy mimicking/making us think he's actually playing.
Anyway, as much a fan of SW as I am, you'll need to do much better than that to convert me to Kinect. *goes back to playing Master System Star Wars*



Here's the first gameplay video ever of the upcoming rebooted Tomb Raider in the hands of Square Enix. (with Crystal Dynamics still working on the game itself)



Alright this looks lovely, graphically speaking.
But let's be honest.. this isn't Tomb Raider anymore! (and I wasn't that a big fan of this series anyway! apart from all 3 Crystal Dynamics modern games)
It isn't simply a platforming game anymore. But a survival horror. Which makes this game seem even more generic (that's what I say when they force down franchises on different paths..)
Why didn't they call this "Lara Croft and the ..." something-something like the Xbox live spinoff, or simply "Lara Croft".
Ugh...


On HALO's side, Microsoft Game Studios thinks it's time to remember us that the Halo franchise exists...with a remake of the Xbox original in Halo Anniversary!




Was it really necessary? I doubt it...
But this generation seems to have a problem checking past work, just see how many reboots/remakes there is, across any medium!
Specially with the original being not that far graphically (it isn't a PS1 game you know!) and being fully playable on any Xbox 360... (AND it being available on the Xbox live/PC as well...)
At least they said it won't be full price.

But don't worry, if a fully priced new game is what you want...



Here's Halo 4!
The first one not being developed by creator studio Bungie.
What annoys me already (in this gaming market saturated by unoriginal ideas and sequels): It's the dawn of a new trilogy.
Fanboys cry, kids weep, llamas graze.


Here's to change our ideas:



Twisted Pixel's Ms. 'Splosion Man overview trailer!
Fun, looking awesome.

(E3 trailers to be continued....)
