“For every choice, a consequence…” is a mantra that many gamers growing up with an Xbox (or later, PC) will remember. This mantra is, of course, from Lionhead Studios own franchise, Fable. The original Fable is regarded as the best entry in the franchise and has encouraged two more sequels of (arguably) different quality.
As the teaser reveals, a large amount of users have been taking to Twitter in an effort to coax a HD remake of the first Xbox Fable entry. And, as we now know, Lionhead has taken those pleas for a remake and are beginning to let out bits and pieces to make gamers thirsty for more.
Be sure to check out the trailer, embedded below for a glimpse at the remake.
Despite the rumor of such a game existing being denied by Hideo Baba, it was recently announced that both Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia: A New World would be given an HD treatment, bundled together and released on the PlayStation 3. Namco Bandai then confirmed that the HD bundle would be released in the West under the name Tales of Symphonia Chronicles for the PlayStation 3. The title will be released in Japan on October 10th while Western gamers have to wait until early 2014 to play these memorable titles.
After the game’s announcement, a few small small images were released but today Namco Bandai released proper HD screenshots of the game including a look at an anime sequence and a battle sequence from Symphonia and a story scene and battle scene from Dawn of the New World.
This is exciting news for gamers and anime fans; Rooster Teeth’s last character trailer for project RWBY has been released. The trailer was first shown at their 2013 A-Kon panel on Sunday and was uploaded on their official YouTube page on the same day.
The trailer focuses on the character Yang, who enters a classy looking night club and encounters a man known as Junior. The trailer maintains the same format as the previous three; with the character being introduced during the first half and the second half showing intense, fast paced fighting scenes which beautifully shows off the shows aesthetic. You can view the trailer embedded at the bottom of this article.
RWBY is directed by the lead animator for Red vs Blue, Monty Oum, who is also a lead writer for the show along with Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross. The first trailer, Red, was shown at the end of the 10th season of RVB.
Since uploaded the video has had over 900,000 views on YouTube and fans of Rooster Teeth have expressed enthusiasm and anticipate the premier of the first episode, which will be shown during this year’s RTX in Austin Texas.
It’s been a long time coming and after quite a few months of silence it looks like Undead Labs’ open-world zombie survival game State of Decay is finally coming to the XBLA this week.
The game will be released on June 5th and will cost 1,600 Microsoft Points which places it at $20 real money. According to the developer a PC version is currently in the works but no release date has been set as of yet. As for the game itself, players must try to survive in a post-apocalyptic zombie filled world and some gameplay footage of the title was released many months ago and can be found here.
As you likely have already heard, Konami will be holding a broadcast on June 6th which will be their third annual pre-E3 show. Today the company announced that they will be streaming the announcement in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German and Japanese to give everyone a chance to understand whatever announcements they make.
Someone over at Microsoft might be in some pretty hot water as their entire E3 press conference may just have been spoiled.
A leaked image posted on NeoGAF forums has revealed an image with a number of familiar game logos and list of games that will apparently feature on the Xbox One at Microsoft E3 press conference next week.
According to the leaked list, here are the games we’ll be seeing next week at E3:
Halo 5
Killer Instinct
Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land
Forza Motorsport 5
Quantum Break
Halo: Spartan Assault
Ryse
Fable IV
Crackdown 3
Fortnite
Dead Rising 3
Call of Duty: Ghosts
Battlefield 4
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Dying Light
Prey 2
Homefront 2
Beyond Good & Evil 2
Mirror’s Edge 2
Rainbow 6: Patriots
Brother in Arms: Furious Four
League of Legends
That is of course assuming that the leak is genuine, but the internet being the internet it’s highly likely that the image and listing is fake. It is unknown where the origin of the leaked photo come from (big surprise).
However there might be some truth it, with the listing of “Fable IV” as Lionhead has recently announced opening of the new Fable Forums.
But again, take this with a huge grain of salt and don’t believe everything you see on the Internet.
All will be known next week at Microsoft’s official E3 press conference on June 10.
Marvel Heroes is concluding the motion comic series they kicked off last month with Episode 1, Episode 2, and Episode 3 with the 4th and final video releasing today. Acting as a prequel to the upcoming MMORPG Marvel Heroes game from Gazillion Entertainment and Marvel, the motion comic series has focused on Doctor Doom as he makes his play for the stakes of the Marvel Universe.
Being the conclusion of a prequel series, fans shouldn’t expect too much of a finale as it is meant to lead right into Marvel Heroes storyline. But, the video does do a good job of covering just why Doom hasn’t faced the full weight of Marvel’s heroes in the previous Episodes. Those wanting to see how the series wraps up can view Episode 4 embedded below before Marvel Heroes hits PC on June 4th.
Indie developer Grinding Gear Games has announced that Path of Exile, their popular online action RPG will be getting a major content update as it enters its second phase of Open Beta. As the game enters its newest phase, the game will get two four-month long leagues to provide players with new gameplay, new unique items, and eight exclusive achievement-like challenges.
The two new game modes, Anarchy and Onslaught, will be distinguished by new items, intense challenges, and an epic difficulty, offering a new degree of gameplay beyond the normal Standard and Hardcore leagues. These new leagues will last from June 8 to October 8. Each mode will also provide six new base items and six new league-specific Uniques.
In Anarchy mode, NPCs will be equipped with the abilities and items of player characters, so they should be treated with extreme caution. Onslaught mode, created for the folks that find Hardcore too easy, will function like a lighter version of the game’s Turbo races, but it will last four months.
The game will also be getting eight new Challenges include:
Slay the 13 rogue exiles (Anarchy only).
Reach level 60 on each character class (Onslaught only).
Use a Map of every type in the Map Device.
Allocate all of the notable and keystone passives.
Receive 34 specific items from vendor recipes.
Full-clear each non-Map area in any difficulty.
Use all currency items (excluding Mirror of Kalandra).
Own a specific set of 90 Unique items at the same time.
Path of Exile will also be getting several bug fixes, re-balances, and more.
For more detailed information regarding the new patch, be sure to check out the official forum thread here. You can also check out their official website here.
If you’re looking to buy an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, or Wii you might want to wait until after E3 as sweeping price cuts to all existing consoles are just over the horizon, according to Wedbush video game industry analyst Michael Pachter.
Speaking with CNet, Pachter believes Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft will all announce console price cuts during the show, as the next generation of gaming is right around the corner.
Microsoft and Sony will cut their existing PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 prices by “at least $50.” Nintendo on the other hand will drop their Wii price down to $99.
However more surprisingly, Nintendo is also said to also cutting the price on their Wii U consoles to improve sales of the console, which weren’t that bad, but not that great in 2012.
Both Basic and Deluxe Wii U bundle prices are predicated to be cut by $50. If not, Pachter believes Nintendo would instead opt for more games bundled with the consoles.
Of cause these are all predictions, so take this news with a grain of salt. These price cuts have yet to be confirmed.
E3 2013 is to take place next week from June 11-13.
Just when players thought that the classic ninja would be getting a rest from his resurrected fighting exploits, NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. have decided to dredge his soul up to fight again in Injustice: Gods Among Us. Scorpion will be the next DLC character to be joining the roster among the likes of superheroes and supervillians, like Batgirl and Lobo.
Not an entirely unexpected choice for inclusion in the game, after previous crossover Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, Scorpion makes perfect sense as he is a fan favorite character. Players may notice he has bit of a different outfit for this outing though, having received a redesign by DC Entertainment’s Co-Publisher Jim Lee.
Those wanting to see Scorpion in action taking on the likes of the DC Universe in his new duds can watch a trailer for the DLC character embedded below. Those interested in adding him to their Injustice: Gods Among Us roster will be able to purchase Scorpion for 400 MS Points on Xbox 360 or $4.99 (£3.99) for PS3. Players can find our review of Injustice: Gods Among UsHERE.
