Yeah, yeah yeah, click play to see The Yankess blow it all over again. Thanks Sony… now I have to read email from folks pointing me to the same trailer I just posted as they chuckle away gleefully at all that payroll going down the drain last year. Feh. We’ll see what happens this year (hell, if anything, a virtual roster might be a better team in terms of the weakened pitching that’s plagues the club for a while) – just you wait…
And here we go again. Last year, when EA unveiled SSX: Deadly Descents, the Internet descended on them in a rather deadly decent into all sorts of nasty name-calling and threats based on the trailer that showed the new installment was headed in a more action flick direction, something many die-hard SSX fans didn't want at all. Now, Namco Bandai is facing the same sort of crankiness based on a trailer that also doesn't even show any gameplay at all. Worse, some of the comments directed toward the game's dev team are at best, ignorant and at worst, more than a tiny bit racist.
Holy cats, this game is looking even more spectacular each time I see it. Especially with the new camera angles that make you feel as if you’re in the cockpit AND a Top Gun film simultaneously. Wait… that sounded kind of dumb, huh? Oh well – I’m just too amazed at the visuals and overall sense of flight to write more coherently… enjoy the trailer anyway.
Not that I was expecting much in a mere teaser, as the game isn’t hitting until this Fall, but gee, DICE… some color, next time? Ah well… here’s a cool image I grabbed just to make this post a bit more exciting. Of course, when you see a trailer this dull, that only means the actual game is going to blast you out of your shoes. If anything, based on the beta included with Medal of Honor LE, B3 should be pretty damn insane no matter what console or up-to-date PC rig you play it on.
I’d have to say FromSoft’s mechs and art direction in this franchise are some of the best I’ve seen in games and thanks to the endless customization options over the years in the AC series, everyone else who’s tricked out a custom mech can probably agree. Anyway, screens are going up this weekend, as I’m poring over them the same way I did the Dark Souls shots. This one’s going to be a killer of a game, that’s for sure…
Today’s “D’awwwwwwwwwwwww, CUUUUTE!” moment is brought to you by Capcom, publishers of Okami, Okamiden and now, NEW:
Okamiden Chibiterasu Plush and Pillow!
…And now, a word from our sponsor:
Feeling sad and droopy, ladies and gents? Well, just let OKAMIDEN get you peppy in seconds! Just apply to your Nintendo DS or DSi and just like THAT, that gloom is all g-o-n-e! It’s like MAGIC!
That’s OKAMIDEN – available March 15 2011 in the US and March 18 2011 in Europe at a store near you!
YES, I want that darn cute pillow and plushie! I’ll sit up, play dead roll over and beg for that set, Woof!! Er, details to follow soon on how to get one from Capcom, but I’ll guess pre-ordering the game or some other semi-heroic actions MAY be involved. You readers might want to poke about on the Official Okamiden Facebook page and see what’s up…
Off to bug Capcom PR and see if we can give some of those away… THAT would be awesome, methinks… “D’awwwwwwwwwwww!”
Another day, another shot of PlatnumGames spectacular-looking multiplayer online fighter. Every new image and trailer I see gets me all the more thrilled. I STILL want my single-player mode, though… (he typed, fingers crossed). New screens going up this weekend once I have a bit more time (he said, trying to finish a few reviews with fingers crossed)…
He’s big, bad and can beat down tall buildings in a single bound. Probably not, but I wouldn’t want to try and stop him, that’s for sure… Here’s the third character profile video for PlatinumGames’ upcoming online brawler. While I’m loving all these movies and I think the game looks amazing… I really STILL want a single-player offline mode (whine, complain, nag, nag nag…). Anyone one else think a fighting game like this could use one?
Here you go – complete with an all-new graphics engine, stereoscopic 3D support and that always controversial English dub. Not to mention the dozens of hours of hack & slash gameplay, too many playable characters to keep track of and plenty of real estate to romp around in. An acquired taste for sure – but hell, sometimes that sort of consistency can be a good thing.
POW! PlatinumGames is pretty much making an instant smash with their upcoming online multiplayer fighter for Sega and these two character profiles show off the highly stylized brawlers and a lot of gorgeous animation in a few brief seconds of in-progress gameplay. I still very much want an offline single player story mode, but we'll see what happens as the game progresses. If there's a company that follows its own drummer, it's Platinum, so I'm not holding out hope for a solo mode…
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"
