Bandai Namco and The Farm 51 Show off New Footage for Get Even

-

August 13, 2015

Get Even looks different and fresh, yet is still mysterious at the same time. In the trailer, we see what seems to be a new perspective on a FPS, but before the end hits – the world begins to break in a digital fashion and we see a girl tied up. Bandai Namco and The Farm 51 elaborate a bit more in the press release of what is real and what is all imagination.

Get Even is the psychological thriller movie genre made video game, blurring lines and blending the frantic tension of the FPS
genre with the oppressive intimacy of a complex personal investigation. Eschewing the usual clichés and gung-ho scenarios currently inhabiting the FPS genre, Get Even packs an alternative, mature and intriguing story combined with strong shooter elements.
“We’re pleased to be working with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment to publish Get Even globally. We are convinced that they are deeply committed to help us make this game a unique experience. Not only will BANDAI NAMCO publish Get Even, but they are also helping us on a production level and fully support our vision of the game. We believe Get Even is an innovative landmark in the FPS genre and expertise provided by BANDAI NAMCO will be a very important factor in helping us realize its potential – said Wojciech Pazdur, Development Director at The Farm 51.

It certainly looks to be an interesting choice for the publisher, and one that hopefully will pay off by using our own genres against us. Check out the teaser below and you can find Get Even on consoles next year.

Dying Light: The Following Reveal Trailer | Price and Season Pass Offer Detailed

August 13th, 2015 – Wroclaw, Poland/ After a successful showing at Gamescom 2015, Techland has released the reveal trailer for Dying Light: The Following – a story-based expansion set in a massive new area that’s as big as the original maps from Dying Light combined. Dying Light: The Following will see Kyle Crane travel to a hazardous outback ruled by mysterious and fanatical cultists whose beliefs have unnerving connections with the zombie outbreak.

The trailer can be viewed here

To get close to the cult and unravel their secrets, players will need to earn the trust of the locals. Through various missions and tasks, players will be able to choose their own path for infiltrating the inner circles of the cultists. In order to succeed in this harsh countryside, players will also gain access to fully customizable and upgradable dirt buggies. With its own unique skill tree, players will be able to traverse the vast expanse of the Harran countryside in what is their deadliest weapon yet.

“Gamescom 2015 was our first chance to let people play Dying Light: The Following so I was a bit nervous – admits producer Tymon Smektała. But so many positive reactions really showed me we made the right decision to work on this expansion. With its new map and far-reaching gameplay additions, it feels like we’ve hit the sweet spot for what players are expecting from us.”

While a release date is still to be determined, Techland has confirmed that Dying Light: The Following will be priced at $14.99, while all Season Pass holders will receive the expansion completely free

Resident Evil 2 Remake Officially Approved for Development

Fans of the Resident Evil series have long been hoping for a remake of Resident Evil 2 and with the recent HD release of Resident Evil’s first game as well as the upcoming release of Resident Evil 0 Remastered, everyone has been quite vocal in hoping that Capcom would take a chance to work on a Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Hopes were kept tempered due to the title not having a GameCube release to work off of like the previous two titles, but thankfully it seems that will not be an issue. Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi has announced that Capcom has approved Resident Evil 2 Remake for development via a video message that you can check out below. It is worth noting that he does say that it will “be some time” before any updates on the project can be released but this is obviously some great news for fans of the classic Resident Evil titles.

Although Extreme Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune Vs. Zombie Army isn’t set to be released in Japan for another two months Compile Heart has opted to release the opening movie for the title quite early. Unlike many of the other openings for past Hyperdimension Neptunia titles, this one’s opening movie features a comic book style that includes already English translated text, a strange addition considering the PS Vita title has not been announced for localization as of yet.

You can check out the opening video for Extreme Dimension Tag Blanc + Neptune Vs. Zombie Army below while the game itself will be released for the PlayStation Vita in Japan on October 15th.

My Hero Academia Volume 1 Released in Print in North America

Earlier this year Viz Media announced that they had acquired the rights to release, in my opinion, one of the hottest new titles to recently appear in Weekly Shonen Jump in the form of My Hero Academia.

While the company has provided digital releases of the title so far, this week marks the first time that a print copy of My Hero Academia has been available for purchase in North America.

The first volume of My Hero Academia, which was released yesterday, can be purchased for $9.99 and all future English releases for the series will be published bi-annually through Viz‘s Shonen Jump imprint.

For those who haven’t followed the series so far, Viz describes My Hero Academia:

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested extraordinary superpowers called “Quirks” at age four? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Becoming a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? U.A. High’s Hero Program of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn’t got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all gives him a chance to change his destiny…

Back in February Viz Media announced that they had acquired the license to release the sci-fi superhero action manga Ultraman in North America sometime later in the year. Well now that time has come as next week on August 18th the first volume of Ultraman will be available for purchase in print and digitally.

Ultraman Volume 1 is being rated ‘T’ for Teens and since it is being printed under Viz’s Signature imprint, the price will be $12.99 and from now on future volumes will be published quarterly since the original manga is still being printed in Japan for the Hero’s magazine.

For those who have somehow missed what Ultraman is despite being an extremely long running symbol in Japan, the story deals with humanity once again having to bring forth a new kind of hero to face off against the dangers that are approaching.

Viz Media has described the story as follows:

Decades ago, a being known as the Giant of Light joined together with Shin Hayata of the Science Special Search Party to save Earth from an invasion of terrifying monsters called Kaiju. Now, many years later, those dark days are fading into memory, and the world is at peace. But in the shadows a new threat is growing, a danger that can only be faced by a new kind of hero – a new kind of Ultraman… Shinjiro is an ordinary teenager, but his father is the legendary Shin Hayata. When he learns that his father passed on the “Ultraman Factor” to him and that he possesses incredible powers, nothing will ever be the same again.
