Destiny’s ‘Law of the Jungle’

-

May 24, 2013

Bungie has revealed a 60 second live-action/CGI mix trailer directed by Jon Favreau and featuring Giancarlo Esposito, of Breaking Bad and Revolution fame, for their highly anticipated MMO-like first person shooter Destiny, set for release late this year.

Called ‘Law of the Jungle’, it revolves around the mythology of the game’s future-based world in which players take the role of a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth. The trailer is designed to “introduce the world and characters of Destiny as a grand fable for the ages”, said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.

During the trailer Esposito is seen reading the Jungle Book, and he emphasizes a particular passage from it that illustrates the strength in numbers wolves get from their pack. This is all intertwined with cinematic action sequences of armored fighters battling on harsh planets. Sadly no gameplay is shown, but it does still give one a taste of the action-packed adventures that players can expect to have.

Publisher Activision noted that worldwide gameplay reveal will take place during Sony‘s E3 Press Conference on 10th June.The trailer can be seen embedded below.

Chop, Slice, Dice! Ok enough about dinner 'cause it's time to fight! — **Chop, Slice, Dice! Ok enough about dinner ’cause it’s time to fight!**

A fresh, new trailer for Namco Bandai’s Toriko game “Gourmet ga Battle” has just been released and it’s making us all work up an appetite! The crazy, action-packed, four-player 3DS brawler is hitting Japan sometime this Summer and a new promotional video has just been released. The video shows a whole lot of what the game has in store from power-ups, to support characters, to group battles with the series’ various colossal monsters. Adding to it all there will also be a “Gourmet ga Battle Tournament” which is supposed to feature a brand-new and original story.

A list of playable characters has been released and they are as follows:

Toriko, Coco, Sunny, Zebra, Teppei, Starjun, Grinpatch, Tommyrod, Match, Takimaru, Guemon, Melk the Second, Terry Cloth, Zonge, Shuu, Alfaro, Chin Chinchin, and Chiyo. Among the support characters are Komatsu, Rin, Tom, Melk the First, Yosaku, Love, Yun, Chiru, Chirin, Monchy, and Kuromado.

This line-up is fairly awesome for a fighting game. With this many of the main cast as playable character neither you nor your three friends will have to fight to play as your favourite character.

Gourmet ga Battle! arrives in Japan on the 4th of July. Check out the video in our Featured Video section below and don’t forget to hit up our comments section to tell us what you think of this game.

Zen Studios is best known for their entries into the Pinball genre, but this time the team is busy creating CastleStorm, a medieval themed game that is described as a “super genre mashup of physics based destruction meets tower defense brawler.” The team wanted to share their creation process of their newest game and have done so by sharing a developer diary which you can watch below.

CastleStorm pits Knights and Vikings against each other in real time battles. The game features a story-driven campaign mode, online and splitscreen multiplayer, co-op and more with multiple winning conditions for each mode such as destroying their castle or stealing their flag. An arsenal of fun and explosive weapons is available at your disposal such as apple grenades, flying sheep and my personal favourite, homing eagles. As you battle, new troop classes and weapons become unlocked.

CastleStorm has been in development for over a year and looks to offer unique, fun gameplay coupled with some gorgeous graphics. Make sure you check out this title when it releases on May 29th for the Xbox Live Arcade.

One Piece Unlimited World Red 3DS Game Revealed

On Monday Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine revealed the next One Piece game in the making.

Dreamin'! Don't Give It Up...Everyone! — **Dreamin’! Don’t Give It Up…Everyone!**

That game is “One Piece: Unlimited World Red” which will be the latest game to fit into the “Unlimited” title and we haven’t seen one of those for at least three years. Like a great deal of Anime games Namco Bandai Games is developing the “Multi-Action Adventure” title which is a good sign in my opinion because Namco Bandai never seem to miss a mark when it comes to Anime games. There has been no release date set as of yet nor is there a price set though it really doesn’t come as a surprise considering it was just revealed but I can’t imagine we will be waiting too much of a long time before we get more information on the title.

The new game has gotten me excited, if not all other One Piece fans out there. This game will NOT be a Wii Port or anything of the like it’s going to be totally new and…guess what? It’s going to be Multi-Player Co-op. Yeah! The game will allow for up to four players to all join each other, play through the story, back each other up and explore the One Piece world. If you look closely at the image you can see mini games like fishing and bug-catching which seems silly and boring but with three friends at your side blazing through mini games will be a cake walk, it also helps to know that those types of things wont be what the whole game is about.

The announcement page also reveals that the One Piece Romance Dawn role-playing game is getting a port for the 3DS which will be shipped, in Japan, on the 8th of August.

Keep your eyes on the site for more info on this gem as it’s released and don’t forget to head to our comments section below to tell us what you think about this.

Mirror’s Edge 2 Listing Surfaces on Amazon Germany

It’s been five long years since we first got our taste on first-person free running video games, but a sequel to 2008’s Mirror’s Edge may have inadvertently been announced thanks on an online listing.

Amazon Germany has posted (though now removed) a product listing for the yet to be announced game in what looks to be an Xbox One case. An eagle eyed NeoGAF user spotted the product, but apparently it’s no secret that the game has been in development for quite sometime.

In response to the sighting, a representative from EA has simply stated:

“We appreciate fan enthusiasm for Mirror’s Edge, especially fans throughout the retail channel. This is not official EA material. We have nothing to announce at this time.”

With all the buzz surround the PlayStation 4 and the recently announced Xbox One, it doesn’t seem too left of field that Mirror’s Edge will be making a return on the next generation of consoles.
