In the mood for a satisfying tease? As we mentioned in our Resident Evil: Revelations review back when it launched on the 3DS, this portable title delivered with atmosphere. With the experience now hitting consoles, Capcom have posted a small trailer to show just how atmospheric the upgraded port will be.
Sure, it’s just an enemy and a bit of darkness, but this encounter is made alone – which is why in the game it’s actually a unnerving experience. Also out today are two other “Case Files” videos, showing off more of the game to the unfamiliar. Resident Evil: Revelations HD drops May 21st, and you can check out all three clips below.
French game company Anuman and French game developer Paul Cuisset are teaming up to bring the classic fantasyrole playing game Darkstone to mobile platforms.
With more than 100 levels and 4 playable character classes, players will get to enjoy rediscovering the original game with a new interface and game system that have been adapted to touch screens.It will also recognize the remixed original voices and sounds.
Said creator Paul Cuisset,
“Anuman Interactive and Artefacts Studio teams are doing a great job. This new version of ‘Darkstone’ is fun to play and I am delighted to see this title newly adapted on mobiles.”
Darkstone will be available on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices in June 2013. For more information, you can check out Anuman’s official website here (*Warning* – It’s in French)
This Month’s Club Nintendo Rewards are now up due to the monthly refresh for May, and this time things are a bit of a mix between the legendary and obscure. 3D Classics Excitebike (150 Coins), Super Mario RPG (200 Coins), Aquia (100 Coins), and Maboshi’s Arcade (150 Coins) are all available for the taking on Club Nintendo, allowing you to trade in your coins for an old favorite or something that may be rather new to most.
This is a decent lot and it is obvious what the frontrunner is, but I am curious when we are going to see some other first party titles hit the service such as Pokemon Snap and Super Mario Bros. 3 – just two name two that have not seen the rewards treatment. Either way, these goods are up until June 2nd, so get them while they last.
The Last of Us is getting closer to a release, with the demo dropping on May 31st ahead of the June 14th release date. I know, you are all hungry to get your hands on it now, but this new trailer may catch your interest while you simmer. Creative Director Neil Druckmann and Game Director Bruce Straley have come together in this clip to show off the infected within the game, and how these antagonists with effect the player as they make their way through.
Also in the clip, we learn a bit more about how our two heroes evolve as characters. It’s all pretty interesting stuff, and you can check out the official trailer down below.
Dungeon & Dragons Neverwinter fans should be getting their fill of the game as the beta just opened April 30th. Those bloodthirsty to finish the active running storyline should be excited to hear about the highest zone in Neverwinter thus far. The Whispering Caverns are home to the darkest denizens of Faerûn – literally. The drow flourish in the ever prevailing darkness in the Underdark alongside their estranged beneficiaries, the mindflayers (illithids). Known well for their octopus looking maws, these devilish creatures can infiltrate your mind and make you their personal puppet. The dwarf in me says to be headstrong and barrel right into these wishy-washy flesh eaters!
And yet a more evils like beholders await in the unknown territories of the Underdark. Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment even hint at the potential of finding a pathway to the famous primordial forge of the long-lost Gauntlgrym. Take a look at the collection of screenshots below and then feast upon the trailer. But don’t be going octopus on me!
Last month, game production studio LucasArts was shut down by Disney and many feared what this would mean for future Star Wars games. Well if you are a fan of EA than you don’t need to worry any further. The Walt Disney Co. has announced it has formed a multi-year deal with EA to develop new games in the Star Wars franchise.
EA will develop games for a “core gaming audience” across all interactive platforms while Disney will retain the right to develop more casual titles for mobile devices, social platforms and online. Further terms of the contract such as financials were not disclosed as of yet, but more information is expected to be released in the coming days.
EA Labels President Frank Gibeau had this to say about the new partnership:
“Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe…Three of our top studios will fulfil that dream, crafting epic adventures for Star Wars fans. DICE and Visceral will produce new games, joining the BioWare team which continues to develop for the Star Wars franchise. The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay.”
Disney purchased Lucasfilm for over 4 billion dollars back in December has stated that a new Star Wars movie will be releasing each year from 2015. EA recently won “Worst Company in America” for the second year in a row but has stated they are trying to fix the errors of their ways. How do you feel about this new partnership ? Let us know in the comments below.
Today Gearbox Software announced when fans of Borderlands 2 can expect to see the sixth playable character released for the title and to find that date all you need to do is look above. As you can see in the post-card like image above, Krieg the Psycho Bandit will be available for download on May 14th.
Here is the kicker though, Krieg will not be part of the Season Pass program and will be sold individually as a $9.99 or 800 MSP download. As for Krieg’s playstyle, it has been revealed that Krieg will not regenerate health but will instead gain health by killing various enemies and he can even be attacked by his teammates, though doing so only makes him stronger.
