Honoka officially revealed in new Dead or Alive 5: Last Round trailer

dead-or-alive-5-last-round-honoka-screenshot- (3)

After a few details about Dead or Alive 5: Last Round‘s most recent character, Honoka, were leaked yesterday Koei Tecmo has taken the opportunity to officially announce the character and give us a good look at what she is capable of as well as what she looks like. For those interested, recent information has revealed that Honoka now sports the biggest bust in the game.

Koei Tecmo has also provided an official description of the character which can be read below:

Having been raised all her life by her gentle and loving grandmother, Honoka is a sweet, easygoing kind of girl… but when she sees a fight, she cannot contain her excitement, or the mysterious power surging within her. Honoka has a strange knack for instantly learning any fighting move she sees. She has kept this power hush-hush, but has been itching to test it out in secret. Honoka studies her favorite moves from various sources and fighting styles, and combines them into a unique style which she calls “Honoka Fu”.

Since her build is that of an average teenage girl, her moves, while skilled, may not always pack the same punch as the fighter she learned them from. In her Hissatsu-no-Kamae stance, however, she is imbued with an unbelievable strength and becomes capable of techniques she has never seen from any other fighter.

What is interesting here is that while it reveals her power to be the ability to copy other fighters’ techniques, few hints are given as to what her true secret power might be.

A little while back, the guys over at EA had a little competition where they gave gamers the chance to make the best Battlefield themed video for the chance to be featured in the Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman X Steve Angello hit song “Payback.” Well the videos have been produced, the votes tallied and now we get to see the new video in action. In fact, you can check it out right here:

Man there are some crazy talented people out there! I am jealous of all of your video skillz (last time I use the word “skillz,” I promise).

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s Havoc DLC Launch Dates Revealed

call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-havoc-dlc-01

The Havoc DLC for Call of Duty‘s latest is finally gearing up to release, and as usual, Microsoft will be getting it first for the Xbox One and Xbox 360. On January 28th down under (for the Aussies) or a day earlier for North America, the platform will receive the massive update that add in four new maps, as well as the highly anticipated Exo Zombies mode.

Here are the details you can sink your teeth into:

  • Core: Deploy to the Gobi desert where the ravaged ruins of a nuclear fusion plant set the stage for a high-octane warzone. Take down enemies through the wreckage in long-range combat or get up-close and personal in the tunnels surrounding the central turbine. Activate decontamination drones using the map-based scorestreak to help clean out the competition.
  • Urban: Prepare yourself for brutal, high-speed combat in Dallas Ward 3, a future mega structure, funnelling players into a close-quarters free-for-all. This modular compound’s verticality unleashes the exoskeleton’s capabilities. Stay focused during the timed event as blast doors alter the map’s flow and sightlines.
  • Sideshow: In the shadow of Devil’s Tower, Wyoming, this abandoned inn’s open layout amplifies its creep factor. Blast your way through the clown inn with close-quarters battles or use long-range site-lines from the mining facilities and natural terrain. Use the map-based scorestreak to activate the lights, music, and magic of the clown marquee and rain down a barrage of rainbow smoke-trailed cannonballs.
  • Drift: An idyllic ski resort high in the Rocky Mountains is transformed into a festive high-altitude playground, perfect for an all-out firefight. Make your way to the highly contested over watch in the glass observation deck or take a ride on the carousel to deliver 360 degrees of carnage. Players can use the map-altering timed event to their advantage as an avalanche of snow and debris disorients players, intensifying the battle.

Call-Of-Duty-Havoc-DLC-Preview

Not bad at all. Look for this massive update to hit at the end of the month from Activision and Sledgehammer Games for $19.99 unless you have the Season Pass, and for those on Sony consoles and the PC, stay tuned as surely a date will come for your piece of the pie as well.

Kung Lao and Kitana Revealed for Mortal Kombat X

mortal-kombat-x-kitana-trailer-01

After not really looking much at Mortal Kombat X due to some questionable marketing that sucked the soul out of my enthusiasm, Netherrealm Studios have my attention as today, Kitana and Kung Lao have been revealed in a lengthy trailer. Like most clips thus far, this one shows off both characters with their fantastic looking new models, and I must say those moves look phenomenal with their new animations.

I have followed Mortal Kombat as long as I can remember, and since the reboot, the franchise has never been better than it is now, as Ed Boon has let his baby hit its prime yet again, which is why that gimmicky rap trailer just didn’t hit me where it should have. We are on the right track now, however. Watch the trailer below and get ready for that April release.

New Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Trailer Preps us for a Wild Ride

monster-hunter-4-ultimate-nintendo-direct-trailer-01

While the “New” 3DS is on everyone’s mind right now, it might be good to take a step back and think about a title that works for any 3DS, which is none other than Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate by Capcom. While we knew how great this title already will be (due to the quality in most of the franchise), Capcom stuck their foot into Nintendo’s little show today and gave us quite the tease, as well as a sturdy release date.

Featuring a vast world and brand new beasts to slay, Monster Hunter 4 looks simply amazing with the new trailer displayed today, and to be honest, a frontrunner for 2015 in terms of handheld experiences. Check out the clip below, and expect these beasts to hit the platform on February 13th.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse gets a Colorful New Trailer

kirby-rainbow-curse-01

At today’s Nintendo Direct, we saw quite a few trailers, but Kirby and the Rainbow Curse definitely wins the award for the most endearing of the lot. A new trailer released tells us a bit about the story this time around, which is rather simple in nature. All of the colors have been stolen from Dream Land, and it is up to Kirby and your stylus to get them back.

I am digging this clay look for Kirby as it seems consistent and very fitting, so if you are looking for a heavy hitter for the Wii U this year, look no further. Check out the clip down below.
