Revenge solves everything in Dishonored’s debut trailer

You remember the above image that was released yesterday? Everyone may have wanted it to be some information about Skyrim DLC, but it turns out that it is actually the first trailer for Bethesda’s Dishonored. We’ve seen plenty of screenshots but this fancy CG trailer is the first time we’ve ever seen anything in motion.

The video sets Dishonored’s plot in a dystopian steampunk society where the main character has been betrayed and thrown in jail for a murder he did not commit. A strange man appears and gives him supernatural powers and a chance to seek his revenge. Currently Dishonored is set to be released sometime in 2012 though when it is released it will be available for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

0

Video game franchises can sometimes make for the best reading material when they are translated into book form. This experience is heightened further when it is an original novel that expands upon the game’s universe. This is the case with an upcoming Diablo 3 novel which is set to be released the same day as the game itself on May 15th.

The book itself is called Diablo 3: The Order and it is written by Nate Kenyon. The story will follow Deckard Cain on his search for other members of the Horadrim as well as an eight year old girl who has become cursed. The book is currently up for pre-order on Amazon, and please order the actual physical form because nothing beats the feel of a good book in your hands.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors English trailer released

Today Namco Bandai released the below trailer for One Piece: Pirate Warriors, previously known as One Piece Kaizoku Musou. In this trailer we see plenty of non-localized footage alongside English descriptions of the game. The game is still remaining a PlayStation 3 exclusive when it is released in North America and Europe sometime in November of this year.

It is worth noting that One Piece: Pirate Warriors was the fastest selling One Piece game of all time in Japan. In the press release released today from Namco Bandai they describe the game as “an exhilarating action game in which players control the straw hat crew to defeat surrounding pirates and navy.” Currently there is still no news as to whether or not the game will be given a full English dub or if it will be released with only the Japanese voice over.

Latest Ciel no Surge video revaels Ion’s room

Although Ciel no Surge is going to be released in Japan on April 26th, there are still plenty of different mysteries about the game, the biggest of which is whether or not the game will be brought overseas to North America. Unfortunately there is still no news as far as that little piece of information is concerned, but a video released today gives us a peak at some gameplay.

In the clip seen below viewers will see inside of Ion’s room where players will interact with her as she lives her daily life, creates items and tries to restore her memories. It is worth noting that some game events are tied to the Vita’s in-game clock so players can synch various events to different times. While not exceptionally action packed, Ciel no Surge looks like it will offer the most unique Vita experience gamers can find, to bad at the moment the only place it will be found is in Japan.

Dragon Ball Z for Kinect gameplay trailers released

You have to admit, nearly everyone who has ever seen the Dragon Ball Z anime series has tried to use a Kamehameha or if not that, at least a few other attacks from the show itself. Now with Dragon Ball Z for Kinect you will actually be able to do those things as you battle against many different opponents.

Today Namco Bandai released two trailers which can be seen below which show off how the game will be played as well as how to use the game’s QR code scanning system. The game itself will feature over a hundred different attack moves such as Goku’s Kamehameha, Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon and more. Currently Namco Bandai is aiming for an October release for Dragon ball Z for Kinect exclusively on the Xbox 360.

Gravity Rush Military Kat pre-order bonus revealed

You may remember hearing about Gravity Rush’s DLC in Japan a few weeks ago, such as the above military costume for Kat. Fans of the game were probably expecting these costumes to also be released in North America as DLC as well, but it seems that, at least fans of the military costume, won’t have to pay anything extra for the outfit.

Instead, fans who pre-order the game from either GameStop or Amazon will receive the military costume for Kat plus four missions free of charge. These missions will involve Commander Yuri and add a few extra race challenges to the main game when it is released on June 12th in North America.

Microsoft and 343 Studios have revealed what date Master Chief will enter the fray again. Early today Microsoft released a press release stating that Halo 4 will be released on November 6, 2012 exclusively on the Xbox 360 of course.

Don’t exit out quite yet however, as there is more news on the way. In fact, there is going to be plenty of interesting news later tonight when the Conan O’Brien show starts because Microsoft will be revealing a special segment on his show tonight. Not much was revealed about this segment as Microsoft is only stating that it is a “special segment” but one can guess it will contain new, never before seen footage.
