Head Scratching Cloud Atlas Trailer Released

The Wachowskis are back, and this time they’ve added the director of Run Lola Run, Tom Tykwer, to their team for an extremely long, extremely confusing trailer. Cloud Atlas is based on a novel and according to the group of directors is meant to be a tale that spans times and genres. With a stellar cast at their disposal featuring such huge names as Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving, Jim Sturgess, Jim Broadbent and so on (for the full cast list, go HERE), they might just pull it off. If the story isn’t that convoluted and confusing.

The five and a half minute trailer certainly has the confusing element down pat. While it’s got scale and the feel of epicness, it also doesn’t have many answers or hints towards the actual plot. A lot of things seem to have been put in to show off just how massive the movie is, while a meaningful sounding voice over is given by some of the big ticket names involved.

Still, this definitely looks super intriguing and is something that I’d definitely be interested in seeing in the cinemas. I think this is the sort of movie that deserves a giant screen viewing.

Watch the trailer below. What do you guys think of the trailer for Cloud Atlas?

Cloud Atlas is being released in the US on October 26, 2012, but hopefully it does well enough to bring it to other countries as well.

New Silent Hill: Book of Memories screenshots arrive from Gamescom

Today some brand new screenshots have come out for Konami’s upcoming Silent Hill title, Silent Hill: Book of Memories, also known as the game to most likely cause unreasonable amounts of rage from blind Silent Hill fans.

Perhaps these newest screenshots will help cool some of your anger you crazy Silent Hill fan you, as this PlayStation Vita exclusive seems to be looking better every time something new is shown for it, even though it is a spin-off title designed more like a dungeon crawler title than your standard Silent Hill experience. Those who haven’t burnt up with fury yet can look forward to picking up the title sometime in October.

Mass Effect 3’s Leviathan DLC arrives on August 28

Today BioWare and EA revealed that the first piece of actual single-player DLC, that wasn’t released as day-one DLC, now has a release date. Gamers can expect to see the Leviathan DLC available for puchase on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on August 28th. It is worth noting however that if you are in Europe and own a PS3, then you will have an extra day to wait.

The Leviathan DLC will give players the task of discovering “the most closely guarded secret in the galaxy before the Reapers silence it forever.” Currently it is unknown what the price of the DLC will be, though given their past history with DLC it will likely run 800 MSP or $10.

Marvel Mobile Game Teased

A teaser image has been released by the Disney Interactive Media Group that features the four main Avengers and the mention of mobile.  The image, seen above, doesn’t give too much information outside of featuring Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man, but the wording and size of Hulk in juxtaposition with the rest of the team may indicate it could be more Hulk-centric than anything else.

Is it a game? An app?  Not much is mentioned other than the fact that it is massive, so whatever it is, it should hopefully provide a lot of content for huge Marvel fans.  We’ll have to keep our eyes open for when more information is released because until then, it’s really anybody’s guess because right now all we know it that something Marvel is coming to mobile.

To commemorate this announcement the company released a slew of new screenshots which can be seen below featuring Brad and Eliot fighting against one another on a brand new stage which looks like it begins inside of a small Chinese house and exits out into a small cul-de-sac as well as taking on other members of the cast battling it out in alternate costumes.

Crysis 3 Multiplayer Detailed

We have gotten a lot of new details about Crysis 3 from Gamescom, many of them being about the multiplayer.

It was revealed yesterday that Crysis 3 would be getting a new multiplayer mode called Hunter Mode which puts two players in the Nano-suits and turns them into hunters and then matches them up against six to eighteen CELL Operatives that have crashed in the middle of the now literal jungle that is New York. The two Hunter players have to stalk and kill the others with the new Compound Bow weapon, hiding in the jungle as the CELL players try to stick together and look over their shoulders for their invisible pursuers. Every time a CELL player falls, they also become a Hunter, until they’ve all been tracked down. If even one CELL player survives, that team wins.

They have also amped up the play style by adding the ability for players to take control of the environment by taking doors off of cars and using them as riot shields or picking up metal posts out of the ground to use as a club. This will allow for people to get creative with how they play to survive.

The modes that will be returning from Crysis 2 include straightforward deathmatches/team deathmatches and Crysis’ own take on Capture the Flag, called Crash Site.In Crash Site, Ceph pods land at random points on the map, and your team has to claim them for as long as possible before they explode and the next one arrives somewhere else. It’s a very fast-paced, violent mode that shows the nanosuit off at its full capabilities.Crash Site is one of the modes that has been revamped though, they have now granted you the ability to actually drive the Ceph mechs that are know as Pringers and unleash bullets onto your opposing team.

The Nano-suits have been re-designed also. They now separate energy bars for sprinting, camouflage, armour boosting and other nanosuit superpowers, these will grant you the abilities to sprint across the map or power jump from ledge to ledge without having to worry about entering battle with no energy left when you enter battle.

Crysis 3 will ship with a total of twelve maps and eight game modes when it launches in February 2013. The game will support sixteen players in the PC version of the game and only twelve on consoles. Crytek has also insured that they will keep the game servers in peek conditions to maintain a good stable connections for the players of the game.

Brand-New Cognition Trailer Released

For the fans of point and click adventure titles, you may now get excited! Phoenix Online Studios and Reverb Publishing released a new trailer for their upcoming point and click mystery title, Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller.

This trailer gives you an overview for the gameplay that players will be using in Cognition. The story will be very deep and chilling as you unravel twists and turns in order to find your brother’s killer and it goes with the tone the game sets with its cel-shaded in-game art and artistic, bone chilling cutscenes.

The official plot for the game reads:

Cognition is a thought-provoking mystery following Erica Reed, a Boston-based FBI agent, haunted by the unsolved case of a serial killer who took her brother’s life. Taking a turn for the strange, Erica investigates with the ability of post-cognition, sensing an object’s past with a mere touch. What unfolds is a much greater, much more complex and enigmatic mystery, as it becomes clear that someone knows her secret.

For those of you who will be in the Seattle area for PAX PRIME from August 31 to September 2, you will be able to head on over to Reverb Publishing’s booth #3340 to get some hands-on time with the demo for the unique mystery.

Cognition will be released sometime this fall 2012. Check out the trailer embedded below for more info.
