Check out some very bloody Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance footage

Konami has been releasing a slew of teaser footage over the past few weeks with gory live action trailers, as well as some teaser footage of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance’s demo screen. However today at their pre-E3 conference the company revealed the first gameplay footage we’ve seen of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in a very long time.

The trailer itself can be seen below and in it we see some very bloody, high-speed action that PlatinumGames is known for. Besides plenty of lovely looking sword slices, blood spillage and vehicles being chopped up Konami revealed the game’s release window of early 2013.

Hybrid shown off by 5th Cell; E3 2012 trailer in tow

From the developers of Scribblenauts comes Hybrid, an FPS set in the future with jetpacks.  Although that hardly sounds original, it appears that 5th Cell will actually be able to make Hybrid stand out in the shooter genre.  Some features of the game include:

  • Massive Online World War
  • Intense 3v3 Air and Ground Combat
  • 60FPS @ 720p
  • 10 Different Maps & Modes
  • Tons of Weapon and Abilities

Hybrid will be releasing on XBLA.

The story of Hybrid is:

“In 2032 a newly built Hadron Supercollider imploded, obliterating Australia. The world was sent into turmoil as an alternate reality collided with our own and from it emerged a species known as the Variant. Chaos ensued and world war broke out between the Variants and a group of rebel humans known as the Paladins.”

Unfortunately the video wasn’t made immediately available, but Konami has just now uploaded the opening animation in its entirety in the below video. The company behind the animation, Sunrise, has delivered quite an outstanding performance and the animation is accompanied by a rather nice piece of music, which fans may remember as the opening song to Zone of Enders 2, which is called Beyond the Bounds.

Rayman, Metal Slug 3, and 99 Seconds Arrive on Nintendo Download

As promised, this week’s big arrival on the eShop is none other than Rayman. This Game Boy Color port has arrived for the 3DS’ Virtual Console, and lets players strap on the gloves of Rayman as he sets out on his first Nintendo handheld journey. As expected, the price on this classic is $4.99.

Next up is a sequel for a game many of you probably still need to check out. 99Seconds is the successor to EnjoyUp’s 99Bullets, but uses a mechanic based around time control to fight enemies, rather than the bullets. This title is also on the cheap for the DSiWare, as it’s only $1.99. Also on the same service is Kakuro by Nikoli, which is a interesting little puzzler where deduction is key if you want to solve the 50 problems within. Much like Rayman, this romp is also $4.99.

On the Wii front, Metal Slug 3 is now available for 900 Nintendo points, and if you’re craving a demo, Order-Up! for the 3DS has a nice little appetizer in store for anyone who wants to get a first look at the game that is slated to hit the eShop on June 21st.

So there you have it. What’s on the menu for your Nintendo platforms this week?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Trailer Revealed by Konami

We knew it was coming due to the recent issue of Nintendo Power, but now Lords of Shadow 2 is set in stone. During their pre-E3 conference, Konami revealed the first official trailer for the sequel, which looks to star Gabriel Belmont, much like it’s predecessor. This clip is purely cinematic for the most part, and shows our hero taking on a large golem, as well as sucking the life out of a human in order to battle what looked to be a smokey dragon. At the end, we also see a mysterious figure that could very well be another member of the Belmont family.

It’s a pretty awesome debut, and definitely a title that will be one to watch as the year moves along. Lords of Shadow 2 will also only be for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, despite the recent rumors of a Wii U appearance. Of course this news could change down the line, so stay tuned and watch the beautiful trailer down below, courtesy of Gametrailers.
