Resident Evil 6’s snake boss trumps Resident Evil 1’s

If you didn’t like fighting against the giant snake boss back in Resident Evil 1 then you certainly won’t like the look of the new giant snake that players will have to face off against in Resident Evil 6. Over this past weekend Capcom revealed a new trailer, which can now be seen below, showing off the newest B.O.W. as it attacks Chris and his partner Piers.

Besides the giant snake we are also treated to some other scenes of Leon and his partner running from zombies as the city they are in is overrun. If, for whatever reason, you still don’t know Resident Evil 6’s release date then you can expect it to hit stores on October 2nd for the PS3 and 360 with a PC version coming eventually.

Hideo Kojima himself denies Metal Gear Solid 5 rumors

As you may know, over this past weekend rumors were buzzing that Metal Gear Solid 5 was being shown off behind closed doors, then yesterday we reported that Konami had adamantly denied these rumors over their UK Twitter account. Well, Konami fans were so adamant about getting MGS5 that they still were questioning the logo and images.

Well today these questions have been answered in their finality, because the creator of Metal Gear Solid and the man who would be leading development of the game, Hideo Kojima, has stated that these are absolutely false, saying the following:

“Since I’ve received inquiries about the MGS5 title screen/the announcement made at ComicCon which I had no idea of, I looked up on the net and found the source. But please note that title logo is completely FAKE. I apologize to those who were looking forward. Anyway it proved I can still create the buzz.”

Now of course this doesn’t mean that there won’t be a Metal Gear Solid 5 eventually, it just proves that at least at the moment, whatever Kojima is working on was not shown off at Comic Con and may not even be in a showable state for many months.

Battlefield 4 beta begins Fall 2013

Earlier today it was revealed that Battlefield 4 is, as expected, in development. EA made this confirmation when they revealed that those who pre-order the “Limited Edition” of Medal of Honor: Warfighter will get access to “the exclusive Battlefield 4 beta.” This reveal is a certainly interesting, as the announcement of a game as large as Battlefield 4 happening due to a pre-order bonus reeks of mistake.

At the time of announcement no one knew exactly when this beta would be happening, however EA has since announced that the beta will begin sometime in Fall 2013, which means that gamers can expect an actual Battlefield 4 release sometime in late 2013/early 2014.
