Deadfall Adventures: Heart of Atlantis Announced for PS3

-

July 12, 2014

Last year, PC and Xbox 360 gamers got an epic action FPS, Deadfall Adventures. Now PlaySation 3 gamers can finally get in on the action as well. Independent developer The Farm 51 announced that Deadfall Adventures is coming to PS3, with a number of extra enhancements.

The game differs a bit from the original version, bringing improved gameplay and a number of changes to the table. Titled Deadfall Advenures: Heart of Atlantis, it still is largely based on the Allan Quartermain novels written by Henry Rider Haggard. Players fill the role of James Lee Quartermain, grandson of the famous adventurer, as he searches for treasure in locales such as the ice of the Arctic North, deserts of Egypt and jungles of Guatemala.

Changes that The Farm 51 has pointed out are the addition of a new co-op survival mode, along with new boss fights, cut scenes, locations and an improved leveling system. The developer also plans to put a cherry on top by overhauling the graphics. Though there is no date yet set for this release, but we should see it this summer.

There is yet another video released by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Productions showing more about the fantasy game; Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. This one is about what goes behind-the-scenes; we get an insight as to what has gone into the game’s motion capture and cinematic philosophy. You can check it out below.

Earlier this year, we saw the gameplay walk-through which fueled my excitement for this game; it is worth checking out. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear at the hands of Sauron. He is resurrected by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance, which compels him on his personal vendetta. The journey unfolds as you uncover the mystery of the Spirit, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.

Launching worldwide on October 7 on all platforms, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor looks like it is going to be pretty ‘orcsome’. Also if you’re lucky enough to going to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con on July 25^th, be sure to check out the panel for the game while you’re there.

EA and DICE released a short teaser trailer today for Battlefield 4: Dragon’s Teeth. The high octane video strings together several three to five second bursts of gameplay from the new Dragon’s Teeth maps. The four new maps features locations across Asia.

Battlefield 4: Dragon’s Teeth features four new maps, five new weapons, two new gadgets, eleven assignments, and the new Chain Link game mode. Chain Link is a new take on the classic Conquest gameplay, removing the ability to ninja flags points far behind enemy lines. Instead, players are forced to push out from captured points, focusing the combat in smaller areas.

Battlefield 4 Premium owners will get a two week headstart on Battlefield 4: Dragon’s Teeth content. Dragon’s Teeth will launch on July 15th for Premium members and July 29th for everyone else. Learn more at the official Dragon’s Teeth mini-site.

Goodgame Studios is proud to announce Shadow Kings, an exciting new MMO game coming to brower, iOS and Android. The new title is a free MMO building and strategy game in a popular fantasy setting, filled with noble knights, unruly dwarves and proud elves. The peaceful world is threatened as the envy of the orcs, goblins and trolls are unleashed and war descends upon the land.

The Shadow Kings will be released this August on Android, iOS and browser. Gamers are able to bring their imaginations to life as they create their own town and kingdoms. They can build armies to defend their creations, conquer enemies and win epic battles. You can play with others in alliances or go solo and make an empire.

Although the versions for mobile and browser are closely related, they are not identical, and accounts will not be transferable between the two versions. But regardless of whether on browser, tablet or smartphone, Shadow Kings offers an engaging and long-lasting gaming experience in a friendly and humorous world. Shadow Kings should be a great MMO even on touch-screen mobile systems as it was designed and developed with a mobile platform in mind right from the very start. So prepare to build, protect and expand your kingdom in this quirky fantasy world.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Motion Character Posters

Paramount Pictures have released four motion character posters promoting the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, depicting each of our favorite shelled crime-fighters.

Directed by Michael Bay, the film has already garnered a substantial amount of attention due to that sole fact, with the divisive director carrying a lot of expectations on his shoulders (as he did for Transformers). He doesn’t like the easy route does he? Franchises as beloved as these have rabid fans, and although the group have undergone a grittier and, let’s face it, grotesque makeover, let’s not forget that these are humanoid turtles. And if the latest trailer is anything to go by, the film looks entertaining and in keeping with the overall spirit of the original series. Check out the above-mentioned motion character posters below! TMNT releases on September 11, 2014.

Original “Alien” Cast Reunite for Alien: Isolation DLC

Games that are based on popular movie franchises often suffer in the voice acting department, either with sound-alikes that don’t quite match up with their movie counterparts, or brand new actors that don’t even resemble the source material. Well, SEGA and Twentieth Century Fox look to buck that trend with the upcoming Alien: Isolation by bringing back the cast of the original Alien film for two bonus DLC missions. (in addition to the new cast that have been introduced just for the game)

Sigourney Weaver (Ellen Ripley), Rom Skerrit (Dallas), Veronica Cartwright (Lambert), Harry Dead Stanton (Brett), Yaphet Kotto (Parker) and Ian Holm (Ash, likeness and sound-alike) are set to feature in two downloadable missions that will be available for players who pre-order the game. The two missions; Crew Expendable and Last Survivor will allow you to relive some of the original film’s most intense scenes all over again.

Alien: Isolation will be available from October 7th on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and PC so make sure you get your pre-order squared off to ensure you get access to the content. As always, make sure you stay tuned to Capsule Computers for all the Alien news as it becomes available.
