Fifteen minutes of Injustice: Gods Among Us gameplay revealed

You may already know, but EVO 2012 was this weekend and considering it is one of the biggest fighting events all year long, NetherRealm and Warner Bros. would have been missing out if they didn’t show up with a chance to offer those in attendance a chance to play their upcoming super hero fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Today IGN released fifteen minutes of gameplay footage featuring Flash getting his speedy butt handed to him by Superman in the middle of Batman’s cave as well as Batman battling against Solomon Grundy. The footage can be seen below and is also narrated by NetherRealm’s founder, Ed Boon.

Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time’s official website launches

While the PlayStation Portable has actually gotten a little bit of love over the past thirty or so days, that love isn’t about to stop. Atlus has launched the official website for their next title, a tactical role-playing game that goes by the name of Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time. Those eager to check out the website and learn more about the game can do so here.

We’ve already heard about the fact that Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time is going to be released later this summer and with the launch of the official website we now have a set release date of July 31st. What makes this news even better for fans of physical releases is the fact that Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time will be released both on the PSN as well as on a UMD. No news at the moment whether the digital version of Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time will be Vita compatible upon release, though we have reached out to Atlus for a possible answer to this question.

Dragon’s Dogma will receive more DLC in the future

Now that the demo for Resident Evil 6 has been made available for download, the only use Dragon’s Dogma’s disc has probably gotten from most of us is simply launching the demo. However it seems that Capcom isn’t about to let the rather successful title fall by the wayside.

In an interview with 4Gamer, translated by Andriasang, Dragon’s Dogma director Hideaki Itsuno confirmed that there will indeed be more DLC in the future that will add “new play elements” to the game. These new elements will apparently be enough to intrigue gamers who have already completed the title once into trying out the content once again.

Pre-Order Activision’s The Walking Dead title at Comic-Con to get some sick swag

Literally sick in this case, as the first 100 people who pre-order the game at Activision’s booth at Comic Con this weekend will receive a rather gruesome piece of swag. Similar to the one which Daryl was making in the last season of AMC’s Walking Dead, pre-orderers will receive an “extremely limited edition version of Daryl’s ‘walker ears’ necklace.”

While I have never actually attended the show myself, it may be quite troublesome to be one of these hundred people, but then again… this piece of swag is sick in more of the literal sense and less than in the metaphorical one. Either way, Activision’s version of The Walking Dead FPS is going to be shown for the first time at the San Diego Comic-Con and today they have released a little teaser trailer which can be seen below.

Steam Greenlight Announced

In spirit of Valve’s close relationship with the gaming community, Valve has announced their latest project, Steam Greenlight. Previously, to add a game to the Steam store, the Valve team approved games submitted from developers as a small group. Now with the giant growth of the Steam distribution platform, Valve has decided to go democratic. Steam Greenlight builds upon the Steam Workshop system to allow Steam users to vote on games submitted by developers. Games that reach a required amount of approval will be allowed onto the Steam store. The Steam Greenlight program is slated to begin in August. A full detailed FAQ can be found here.

Michael Fassbender to Produce and Star in Assassin’s Creed Movie

0

There have been many attempts to bring popular video game titles to the big screen in feature length movie form and a scant few have succeeded. After disappointments such as Doom, Prince of Persia and Max Payne, a lot of gamers have given up on ever being able to see their favorite video game characters correctly represented at the movies; however if you are a fan of the Assassins Creed mega franchise and want to see the hooded vigilante on the big screen, there may be hope for you yet.

Last year Ubisoft announced the formation of Ubisoft Motion Pictures; a motion pictures studio tasked with creating film adaptations of their hit video games. Shortly thereafter the undertaking of an Assassins Creed film began and remains in development with an estimated release in 2014. The production has been pretty quiet and not many updates have been giving until now.

Michael Fassbender will be co-producing and starring in the film adaptation of Assassin’s Creed. Michael has seen a lot of attention since X-Men: First Class, Inglorious Bastards and more recently Prometheus. If you haven’t seen his performance in Prometheus yet, you should. CEO of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, Jean-Julien Baronnet told Variety in an interview,” Michael Fassbender was our first choice to play the franchise’s iconic hooded hero” and that “Michael is an extremely smart, talented, versatile and committed actor.”
