Need For Speed Rivals received a new trailer today showcasing actual gameplay footage as well as progression details and some story elements. It all rushes by pretty fast but it seems you will be racing while fulfilling certain challenges such as evading a certain number of pursuits, taking out your rivals or drifting 500 yards. None of this is really new for the Need For Speed franchise as we’ve been evading cops, taking down rivals and drifting around corners since the early days. However the series has definitely evolved graphically since back then, running on the Frostbite 3 engine the games environment really comes to life and the impacts between cars feel very powerful. At the very end of the trailer we get a brief look at some story details. You will be chasing down some guy (or girl, that would be a cool twist) called Zephyr, who seems to be the big rival you want to take out. Some of the pursuit tech you can use to dominate your rivals is also shown off, including EMP for shutting down their car’s electronics and spike strips to shred up their tyres.
Need For Speed Rivals is being developed by fairly new studio Ghost and is being published by EA. This years title is bringing back customisation after much fan request, you can check out the personalization trailer here. The game is coming to stores on November 19th and will be available on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Online developer Joymax has announced its newest Digimon for its popular MMORPG, Digimon Masters Online. Set to make their debut as part of the latest October update, Lucemon and Lucemon Falldown Mode join the Digital World.
Beware the guise of innocence
As part of Digimon Masters second anniversary, players will be introduced to Lucemon an Angel Digimon whose name and design are derived from the mythological Lucifer. It has the appearance of a child and is said to have descended to the ancient Digital World long ago. However, because of a later Rebellion, it summoned a long period of darkness. Although it has the appearance of a child, the power and intelligence it possesses surpass even that of an Ultimate Digimon.
Duplicity incarnate
This update also brings Lucemon Falldown Mode, the ultimate Demon Lord which possesses both the divine and diabolic. It is the strongest of the group and instigated a rebellion which led to it becoming sealed in the Dark Area along with many other Demon Lord Digimon. Its power exceeds that of Megas, and is said to rival that of the existence called “God.” Its contradictory existence – loving all things yet trying to destroy the world – will lead to its intention to create a fresh new world!
To celebrate this event, all tamers who purchase Lucemon from September 24th to October 22nd will go into a drawing to be one of one hundred and fifty lucky tamers to win the Ultimate form of Tsukaimon, Daemon absolutely free. For more information on Digimon Masters, visit the official site and Facebook page. Check out the screenshots below and see the Holy Demon in action. Reclaim the Digital World.

As part of tonight’s Nintendo Direct Presentation, we got to see some brand new footage from the upcoming Wii U title: Super Mario 3D World. Previous footage has emphasized heavily the multiplayer aspect of the game, showing 4 players using Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad simultaneously. Today’s trailer however takes a departure from that, and shows us how the game will play as a single player experience.
Aside from seeing how the game will play out as a solo experience, we also got to see the return of many series-staple items, and a few new comers as well. The long-time favourite Fire Flower and Tanookie Suit are being joined by a Goomba costume, as well as various Boxes that Mario and gang can wear, and of course the now-infamous Cat Suit (and many more). We also get to see how a new item, the Cherry will affect gameplay. The cherry will copy your character – allowing for multiple Mario’s on the screen at any given time, which I’m sure will lead to a whole load of chaotic fun.
You can check out the trailer below, and let us know in the comments what you think. Honestly, as a fan of the Mario franchise, the thing that got me most excited was seeing Princess Peach wielding fire powers for the first time.
Super Mario 3D World will be released on November 29th exclusively on Nintendo Wii U, so if you have been looking for an excuse to get one, this might be it. For all the Mario news as it becomes available, be sure to stay tuned to Capsule Computers.
As part of tonight’s Nintendo Direct Presentation, a piece of news was delivered that was shocking, and also very intriguing. It seems that Nintendo are doing away with a typical Zelda gameplay convention. (shock and horror, I know!)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds will do away with the time honored tradition of receiving new items within the game dungeons, and using them to solve the puzzles of that dungeons. At the same time, the linearity of Zelda games is also being abolished, giving players the ability to tackle the game however they choose.
Now, before we all get our torches and pitchforks, hear me out. The way this will work is through a new store in the game called Ravio’s Shop. The store’s owner; Ravio will loan players items that they typically find in dungeons (bows/boomerangs/hammers etc) for a price. This allows players to pick and choose where and how they approach the game, providing a new sense of freedom that usually isn’t seen in the series.
What do you think? Are you for or against this new implementation? I personally think that it is an interesting way to go, and I hope it doesn’t alienate any fans. Let us know in the comments below what you think, and remember that The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is available on Nintendo 3DS on November 22nd. So for all the Legend of Zelda News as it becomes available, stay tuned to Capsule Computers.
