Mysterious New Marvel Game Trailers

-

August 28, 2012

A mysterious trailer alluding to a new Marvel game has been released online. These videos show off some things related to the Avengers and even feature some of more recognisable Avengers. In the press release we were given, there is some kind of nonsensical message about the game, which we have reproduced below –

Marvel has released two new S.H.I.E.L.D. Briefing Videos for its new, unannounced mobile game. In the videos, Hawkeye reports on the aftermath of the Vault breakout and Nick Fury picks the First Responder to the crisis.

This is incredibly vague and lacks a lot of context, will that context be gleaned from these two trailers? Or are they alluding to something else? Be sure to check out the two trailers below for more info.

Marvel have also revealed the Marvel XP service. This new service is the latest way to connect gamers to the Marvel Gaming Universe and is already linkable to the Marvel: Avengers Alliance game on Facebook. You can check out the Facebook page for the service here.

Does this Hot Shots Golf Cameo Hint at Sony’s next Star?

Vita fans can look forward to two of the handheld’s best releases meeting over a round of golf. Kat, the heroine of the physics bending Gravity Rush, will be making a cameo appearance in the Vita version of Hotshots Golf World Invitational. Not much else is known at this point, although the above image would suggest that her power giving space kitty will be along for the ride, possibly bringing a gravity warping spin to some golf balls along the way.

The annoucement was made in this week’s issue of Degenki PlayStation, with details such as the release date and price of the content yet to be revealed.

Sony certainly seem keen to turn Kat into something more of a poster child by exposing the character to a larger audience – could this hint at a future appearance in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale?

Canadians can now take advantage of Ni no Kuni’s Ninostarter program

While gamers in the United States have been able to freely pre-order the Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch via the Ninostarter program, Canadian gamers have had to peak over the border and wonder how nice it is to not have free healthcare. But moving on! Namco Bandai has annonuced today that gamers in Canada can now pre-order their own copy of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch via Ninostarter and take advantage of the Wizard’s Edition.

They also revealed that their Ninostarter program is about to hit it’s level 2 goal and once it is released, a golden Wizard’s Coin will be added to each Wizard’s Edition. Those wishing to check the progress of the Ninostarter can find it here.

Vita only supports eight PSOne Classics with Firmware 1.8

You know how Sony promised that when Firmware 1.8 hit the PlayStation Vita the handheld would support over one hundred PSOne Classics? Well it seems they were off by about two digits because in disappointing fashion that only Sony can deliver, they have only made nine PSOne games purchasable or downloadable on the Vita with the update.

If you happen to live in Europe you’ll actually get quite a lot of them, while those with a PS3 can actually transfer over a number of other PSOne Classics in an effort to absolutely confuse any members of their user base because apparently being user friendly is a thing of the past. The list of various games “supported” can be seen below:

Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead Episode 3 coming “very soon” [Update]

It seems that the wait for the next episode in Telltale’s popular The Walking Dead series is almost at its end, as the Telltale’s Job Stauffer announced on Facebook that The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead is meant to be released “very soon.”

To go along with this announcement the company also released a brand new video which teases a bunch of drama that gamers will be experiencing in Episode 3, such as the fact that the group must leave Macon and apparently there is even a traitor amongst them. Also look! Even Clementine gets a gun this time around. Check out the trailer and new screenshots below and keep an eye peeled for the continuation of this, so far amazing, story.

Update: Turns out that the “very soon” means today and tomorrow. Gamers who want to pick the title up on the PlayStation 3 can pick up the game on August 28th for $4.99 while Xbox 360 gamers will be able to do so on August 29th, a day later, for 400 MSP. Talk about soon eh?

It was revealed today over the official Call of Duty Twitter account that Nuketown has now been overrun with zombies. In their reveal they simply stated “There goes the neighborhood.”

it is currently unknown whether or not this zombie map will only be available for those who are going to get the Nuketown 2025 map via pre-order or DLC, or if the small undead-filled map will be available as a separate piece of DLC. We have reached out to Activision and will update you as we learn more.

Borderlands arrives on PlayStation Plus next week

It has been awhile since gamers in North America received a full retail title as part of the PlayStation Plus “Instant Game Collection” promotion. Europe received Red Dead Redemption last month as well as another title before that, while North America was simply given PSN titles.

While these games were still great in their own right, North Americans will be able to add Borderlands to their digital game collection next week on September 4th, allowing you to play the title as long as you are a PlayStation Plus member. This is a great little promo to help promote Borderlands 2 which comes out roughly two weeks after the PS Plus debut of Borderlands.

Besides the free game, PlayStation Plus members can also pick up Greed Corp for $2.50 or Daytona USA for only $3 while everyone else has to pay $5.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus producer quits Sony

The man who led production of most PlayStation fans’ favorite games, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, revealed today that he is no longer working for Sony. Kenji Kaido revealed his departure on Twitter, saying: “This August, I left Sony Computer Entertainment.”

Currently it is unknown where Kaido will go from here, though he also stated that he is “also excited about whatever I’m going to be doing next,” which means that he probably already has an idea about his next position. Currently it is unknown if Kaido was working on Team Ico’s latest game, the oft rumored to be canceled The Last Guardian, so eager fans of the game should still be hopeful.
