It seems Bioware isn’t changing strategies when it comes to advertising Dragon Age games. Present a God of War style we’re so hardcore attitude, and then cover it in blood. Dissappointing that they continue to treat the most traditional franchise they have, and the fans of classic western style RPG’s with so little respect.
Sony released a Multiplayer trailer for Gamescom this week. Clearly they’re pleadingly trying to win over the Call Of Duty crowd with their “that’s mine” “nice” teamspeak garbage. In my day you talked to people using your keyboard, and you had to stand still in a safe place while doing it too. Damn kids and their gimped console aiming.
Double Fine has announced the first of their new smaller downloadable titles Costume Quest. In a move rarely seen outside of free flash games they’ve made it a holiday themed game, that holiday being Halloween. It’s described as an adventure/RPG, hopefully not to Diabloesque there’s been a quite few of those lately. You play a kid out for a night of trick or treating, and you battle imagined monsters using your imagined powers in a quest to save your little sister. Sometimes you will have help from your friends whose imagined selves are also defined by their cute kid costumes.
Costume Quest is planned for release this Halloween on Xbox Live Arcade, and the Playstation Network
Irrational Games continues to tease their new title on whatisicarus.com slowly revealing this image in a flash video.
Looks like an infinity symbol to me, but no need to keep guessing, Ken Levine today made it clear that we will be seeing their new game August 12th.
On Thursday, August 12th, at 1:45 Eastern Daylight Time, we will launch the trailer for our new game at Whatisicarus.com. Our hope is that you all will see it PRIOR to reading any news in the press (which will start to come out around 15 minutes later).
Sony dropped some screenshots from the upcoming Move edition of Heavy Rain. It looks like these will just be the equivalent of waggle instead of a button press, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be using the full range of motion the Move is supposed to offer, but that’s to be expected for a patch to an already released game.
Also, a small tidbit, but this is the first I’ve seen the trigger button on the Move controller referred to as the T button.
Sony released the “Adventure Trailer” for Little Big Planet 2 on their blog.
It looks like a worthy successor to the original. Hopefully they make good on their promises of proper online functionality this time, and make the single player a bit more fleshed out.
For those of you into the goofy, and impotent DC Comics characters, here’s the goofy DC Universe Online trailer you’ve been waiting for.
Superman falls for that kryptonite trick every time.
EA finally released some media for the Alice sequel Alice: Madeness Returns. It looks like the real deal, the same atmosphere and style with a modern graphical upgrade. The teaser trailer is short, but shows us that they won’t be holding back on the weird for the sake of grabbing the mainstream audience, This is a true sequel to a flawed classic of PC gaming.
SquareEnix Eidos have released some concept poster art for the next Hitman game (Hitman 5). It seems Agent 47 will get burned, or god puts a contract on Satan or something. Agent 47 looks a little to movie game friendly in this picture, but it is just a little promotional concept art.
The image also confirms that IO Interactive will continue to be the ones developing Hitman, so there should be no need to worry.
Here’s the full twelve minute extended trailer of Another Century’s Episode R (ACE:R) for Playstation 3. It’s not going to be the most graphically impressive PS3 game ever made, but it looks damn fun.
