As those who played the beta got a taste of, Destiny will have a competitive multiplayer focused zone called ‘the Crucible’. Special armors, weaponry and gear can be earned there and taken into the rest of the game. Now, a new multiplayer trailer out of Gamescom has revealed new arenas and more gameplay than ever seen outside of the beta.
At the PlayStation Gamescom press briefing, Bungie debuted the footage, which can be viewed embedded below. Game types locked throughout the beta, such as Skirmish and Clash, are displayed in the video, as are unique weapons such as Timur’s Lash. Destiny releases on September 9 for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 from Activision.
When Dragon Ball Xenoverse releases in 2015 for the Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3 it will be one of the few Dragon Ball games to feature a character creator and from the screenshots we have so far it already seems to be leagues above the character creator featured in the poorly received Ultimate Tenkaichi. According to the official Bandai Namco tumblr page:
Players will have a wide variety of customization options to choose from including physical features from the Earthling, Majin, and Namekian races to name a few. Once you create your characters, you’ll be summon by Trunks to complete a series of challenges to begin your path in this Dragon Ball adventure starting in the hub area, Toki Toki City.
The Tumblr page goes on to say more details will be revealed in the coming weeks and that a Closed Beta is also planned which we will definitely be covering on Capsule Computers once it becomes available. It now seems very likely the red headed mystery warrior was indeed a custom character as many had predicted, but we will wait and see for an official comment before jumping to conclusions. Interestingly, the game seems to be taking more and more features from cancelled MMO Dragon Ball Online with the female Majin model looking identical to the one used in that game. Don’t forget to check out all our past coverage on Dragon Ball Xenoverse to get all the information on the game that has been announced so far.
[UPDATE] It has been confirmed that the mystery fighter was indeed a created character, meaning that your human or possibly Saiyan character will be able to transform to at least the first stage of Super Saiyan. Several new official artworks have also been added to the gallery below showcasing the types of characters you can create displaying both race and gender differences. Lastly, another official post by the website gave us some more exciting details, expanding on what we can expect from the story and customisation.
This new fighter will be YOU! It all starts when Trunks summons the hero to enquire him about a secretive mission! All of the major DRAGON BALL’s species will be available as a basis for the players’ avatars, among them we can already count: Earthling, Majin and Namekian (more to come).

Meta Knight is making a welcome return to Super Smash Bros. after being revealed in the Pic of the Day. Interestingly the Monday picture showcased a Mii wearing a Meta Knight mask with the caption “And I am Meta Knight, joining the Battle” so many people were already fairly certain we would see a confirmation this week, with yesterdays unrelated picture featuring The Special Flag trying to throw the Miiverse community off the scent. Meta Knight is the latest character to be revealed since newcomers Robin and Lucina from the Fire Emblem series were introduced alongside veteran fighter Captain Falcon.
Meta Knight is the anti-hero of the Kirby series and was first featured in a Smash Bros. game in Brawl where he was one of the very first newcomers introduced alongside Wario. Meta Knight saw a very high level of play in the competitive scene, forcing the character to become banned in most tournaments as he was seen as overpowered. It will be interesting to see what adjustments they make to his move set and mechanics among the rest of the cast to even out the playing field. Let us know in the comments below if you are happy to see Meta Knight make a return and while you’re there, let us know which character you would most like to see in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. You can check out all of Meta Knight’s introduction screenshots below.

2K has revealed details behind one of the premier modes of WWE 2K15, called ‘2K Showcase’. The mode will share similarities with WWE 2K14‘s ‘30Years of WrestleMania’ in that it focuses on reliving certain memorable moments in the history of the WWE, except that it will chronicle two specific feuds from start to finish in extreme comprehensiveness.
Those rivalries that will come on-disc at launch, this October 30th, are Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels from 2002 to 2004, and, somewhat surprisingly considering recent circumstances and events, CM Punk vs. John Cena from 2011 to 2013. The mode spans 33 in total, but additional 2K Showcase rivalries will be created as DLC post-launch. Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K, said of the two main inclusions;
The moment Triple H ended his long-time friendship with ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ by slamming him with a Pedigree was a defining moment in WWE history. No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences.
These epic rivalries will be told through a mix of documentary-esque video packages, archival footage, authentic WWE Superstar commentary and breathtaking cinematics. Across the 33 matches, there will be many bonus historical objectives for the player to complete that will unlock new WWE Superstars, Championship titles and alternate attires, all of which can then be utilised in any mode of the game. Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative at WWE, added;
Featuring two of the biggest rivalries in WWE history, including my storied matches with Shawn Michaels, there’s no doubt fans will experience the thrill first-hand through WWE 2K15. 2K Showcase brings WWE to life in a way our fans have never seen before through a video game.
WWE 2K15 is being developed by both Yukes and Visual Concepts, and is not yet rated for Australia and New Zealand. “Feel It!” on October 30, for the Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Pre-order it now and receive two generations of ‘The Icon’ Sting! Wooooo!

Earlier this week, a weird little game was put onto the PSN. It was called P.T, or “Playable Teaser,” and was for an unnamed survival horror game that is currently in the works. It was all very secretive and mysterious. Well today the lid has been blown off, and we now know that P.T. is actually a playable trailer for a brand new Silent Hill game! Tentatively titled Silent Hills – this will be the newest installment in the franchise since 2012’s Silent Hill: Book of Memories.
As if that wasn’t enough to get excited about, we also know that the game is being designed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro. You read that right, the director of Pacific Rim (and a tonne of other awesome things) is teaming up with the creator of Metal Gear Solid to create a new Silent Hill game! As if THAT isn’t the coolest thing ever, the game is being headlined by Walking Dead star Norman Reedus.
Details on the new game are still relatively slim, but rest assured that we will be covering the news as it comes to light. So for all the Silent Hill news as it becomes available, make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers
If you are a fan of The Sims, then you likely know by now that the “Create-A-Sim” demo for the upcoming Sims 4 has been floating around the internet for the past few weeks. You will also probably know that this demo has only been available to a select few… until today.
A mere 4 hours before their Gamescome press conference, EA have made the demo available to the public. Now no matter who or where you are in the world, if you have an Origin account and a PC you can start making Sims in your own image (or however you want really, I wont judge).
Getting the demo is pretty easy too, all you need to do log into Origin (which you can download here if you haven’t already) then head over to the Demos and Betas tab under Free Games and wah-lah. The demo is about 1GB so it shouldn’t take you too long to download. So go forth my Sims fans and create, create, create! The Sims 4 releases next month on PC so make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the news as it becomes available.
With the impending release of Disney Infinity 2.0, a lot of the character reveals and marketing has focused on the Marvel side of things, but that doesn’t mean that we are not getting some more awesome Disney Original characters. As if last week’s announcement of Aladdin and Jasmine weren’t enough to kick any Disney-fan’s excitement into overdrive, we now have confirmation that one of Disney’s fab five (and quite possibly one of the greatest characters the company has ever created) will be joining the ranks, and it is none other than Donald Duck himself.
Woah, woah calm down… Oh who am I kidding, this news is awesome! Donald will be a playable character in the Toy Box where he has access to a wide-array of skills and abilities. Not only that, but there will also be a special costume-change Power Disc that allows Donald to turn into one of the Three Musketeers!
As with all character announcements, we have a little trailer below for you to check out (and I personally think it is the best character reveal trailer to date). Give it a watch, and let us know in the comments below how excited you are to stand Donald up next to Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey. Also remember to check out our recent impressions of Disney Infinity 2.0 and to make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Disney Infinity news as it becomes available.
