Centipede Infestation shows off its crawly bosses

Atari has released another video for Centipede Infestation showcasing some of the creepy crawly bosses you can expect from the game. The video is in the same stylised ‘instructional video’ as the previous one and has some pretty interesting looking creatures.

It looks like there will be a hell of a lot of legs and the gameplay will involve shooting the many-sectioned bugs into smaller sections. I don’t know how well that would hold up in reality, but then neither does giant millipedes. And thank god for that one.

Check out the video below. What do you guys reckon? Do these massive creepy crawlies get under your skin? Or are you super keen to get a go at demolishing them section by section?

Centipede Infestation will be out on Wii and 3DS in the US on the 25th of October. Preorder your copy HERE

Gears of War 3 campaign DLC won’t focus on the main group

September 29, 2011

Gears of War 3 was released last week and has been widely accepted as a major success, and of course with the option to buy a season pass at the moment to acquire all upcoming DLC for onee price, we know that there will be DLC in the future. But it appears that any story DLC will not focus on the main crew of Gears of War 3, but on a different group of people.

Cliff Bleszinski posted in a NeoGAF thread and shared a few scant details about the DLC plans. Former Stranded-turned-COG Michael Barrick will be appearing but, according to Cliff “it won’t be the graphic novel, but it will have all new campaign content that doesn’t have Marcus, Dom, Cole and Baird in it.” It’ll be interesting to see who the main focus of this DLC will be, especially if it is new characters thrown in at the end of the series.

Syndicate to be released on February 21st

September 29, 2011

As far as quick releases go, Syndicate may be one of the faster ones. We’ve just recently heard about plans from Starbreeze to reboot the Syndicate series as a first person shooter, but now it also has a release date! The game is currently set for release on February 21st and 23rd in North America and Australia.

Despite some people becoming angry over this reboot, simply because the game used to be a strategy title, but now is going to be a first person shooter. The title still looks extremely good and has the interesting premise of a futuristic shooter where players take the role of a prototype Eurocom agent in 2069 as well as having four player co-op modes.

Yakuza: Dead Souls trademarked in Europe; could be sign of Yakuza: Of the End localization

During Tokyo Game Show it was hinted at by Sega’s Daisuke Sato that there could be a localization of some kind for Yakuza: Of the End. Mainly he said that if it was, they would need to change up the control scheme a little bit. It seems that it could possibly be more than just a small remark however, as Joystiq has discovered a European trademark for a Yakuza title from Sega.

Yesterday, Sega filed a trademark for Yakuza: Dead Souls which would be a better title to localize a game under rather than Yakuza: Of the End. Sega hasn’t made anything official at this time but things are looking good for a zombie filled Yakuza game to be released in the West.
