New Diablo III Cinematic Trailer

Shown very recently on television’s everywhere, a new Diablo III trailer has spawned with a glaring message for viewers. “Evil is Back” is the warning that bellows through the thirty-one second commercial. Swarms of demons and abominations gather on the screen as well as appearances from Diablo, an archangel, and Deckard Cain’s niece.

The game’s launch is coming quickly, but like most televised trailers that come from Blizzard there is no actual gameplay footage. With that being said Blizzard’s reputation hardly requires gameplay to be in televised trailers. Story is much more important, and I stand among many that would pay Blizzard to begin production on a Diablo movie. Check out the cinematic trailer below, and give us your feedback.

3 former Bioshock developers open new studio

0

Three of the devs behind BioShock 2, Minerva’s Den, BioShock Infinite and XCOM have started their own game development studio.  The Fullbright Company, comprised of  Steve Gaynor, Johnnemann Nordhagen and Karla Zimonja states:

Our goal is to “make a great game. A memorable experience that you’ll be drawn into, and keep thinking about after the game’s turned off, and want to come back to again someday. An experience that gets away from the constraints of ossified game genres, while relying on what we’re good at as a team: creating immersive places to inhabit, and a deep, personal story to explore at your own pace. A nonviolent game in an unfantastical locale; an experience that not many games provide, built out of techniques that only video games can employ.”

We can’t wait to see what they make!

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance teaser trailer expanded with more torture

Remember last week when Konami revealed a very short live-action teaser trailer featuring a scientist and some torture and they hinted at something else being released today? Well what they revealed today was a longer and slightly clearer version of what we saw last week.

The trailer itself can be found below, and it appears to show Raiden on the operating table as he has new biotic parts being placed onto him, though he has no clue what is going on and in the end neither do we. To top all that off, there are scenes of torture from when Raiden was fully human, perhaps a flash back onto whom he will be seeking “revengeance” upon?
