Final Fantasy XIII-2 PAX trailer brings a bit of Hope

First let me tell you how difficult it is to catch a quick millisecond of footage and get a picture of it. But more on that in a minute. Square Enix released a new trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2 today and in this trailer we see plenty of story cutscene, some combat gameplay and even some more of the cinematic actions that can occur during important storyline battles.

But now onto that screengrab above. Near the end of the video we see a boomerang fly out and deal damage to a creature and then be caught by a mysterious person. Though that person may not be as mysterious as the trailer would like, as the boomerang weapon not only looks nearly exactly like the one used by Hope in Final Fantasy XIII but also he has the same hair color, nearly same hairstyle and same type of clothing. Could this be a new more grown up Hope? We’ll know for sure when Final Fantasy XIII-2 arrives on the PS3 and 360 next January.

Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 3 under development by Zeboyd Games

Fans of the Penny Arcade comics and also of their Penny Arcade Adventures series of games were disappointed last year when the third episode of the game series was canceled suddenly with no chance for continued development. But it seems that Penny Arcade Adventures: Episode 3 isn’t quite dead yet, because as RPGamer discovered and grabbed a picture of, Zeboyd Games is taking over the project and continuing its development.

Zeboyd Games is best known for their PC and Xbox Live Indie Games releases of Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World. As such, it seems that Episode 3 will take on a similar style to Zeboyd’s past titles which feature 16-bit graphics. Penny Arcade Adventures: Episode 3 will be released sometime in 2012 on as many systems as they possibly can.

Halo Anniversary Edition adds three new maps including PC exclusive Timberland

Major Nelson has a bit of news for all you Halo lovers out there, there will be a number of new maps added into the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. Two of these maps are competitive multiplayer maps and one is known as Prisoner which is a symmetrical map with bridges for small team combat. The interesting map is the Timberland map which is a forest-like area from the PC version of Halo which is meant for large team battles.

Also included with these new maps is a new Firefight map which is named Installation 04 which is based on the level “Halo” from the original title, which was the level immediately after crashing upon Halo in the escape pod.

Halo: Reach title update detailed; arrives in September

Last night at the Halo Fest event, Microsoft revealed that they will be releasing a hefty title update for Halo: Reach sometime in September. The patch makes a number of changes to the multiplayer mode of the game, which will of course either make gamers jump for joy or break their monitors in rage, or both.

The update will nerf the Armor Lock ability which previously made you invincible for a small period of time, albeit completely immobile. Now the Armor Lock will prevent most damage, but not all and stuck plasma grenades will not fall off anymore. Also implemented is a system called “Shield Bleed-through” which will transfer damage done with little shield onto the players overall health, optional reticle bloom removal and also remove the ability to deflect plasma sword attacks with well-timed melee from guns. Also the magnum pistol will see a power buff for those who loved it back in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Timed-exclusives are the newest way to gain a bit of an advantage over other consoles, and nobody knows this better than Microsoft. It seems that when The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim hits stores this November, Xbox 360 owners will have a little bit of a leg up on post-launch DLC. Bethesda revealed that the first two pieces of content that will expand Skyrim’s already ridiculously large amount of content will be exclusive to the xbox Live Martketplace “30 days before it’s available anywhere else.”

The news doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, but the question is how much did Microsoft have to pay to make perhaps the biggest game of 2011’s DLC temporarily exclusive to their system? Also it seems that Skyrim fans will be able to enjoy at least more than two add on DLCs which according to what Bethesda has said in the past, will be large expansions to the world similar to what was done in Fallout and Oblivion.

Congratulations Capcom, you have finally given players what players want – a sandbox mode for Dead Rising. Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is set to feature a full sandbox mode. No pesky timer to getting in the way of my zombie killing fun.  Sandbox mode is exactly what Dead Rising fans have been raving on about since the original Dead Rising in 2006.

A ‘Survival mode’ this is not, Sandbox mode will include special challenges complete with online leaderboards that will put your zombie killing skills up to test, such as “Rumble in the Jungle,” “Chop Suey,” and “Silver Strip Smackdown”. Sandbox mode also supports co-op play, because everyone knows that killing zombies is more fun with a friend.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is set to be released in October 11 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC

Torchlight 2, the non-corporation dungeon crawler that has made millions of dollars with their first title, has been given a price by Runic Games, and it is a price that should please many fans and their wallets. Joystiq reports that Runic Games’ Torchlight 2 will be sold at $20 on the PC when it is released in the coming months.

This price is surprising in a few ways, as it not only is the same price as the original Torchlight, but considering the vast amount of improvements that will be in the sequel, this price only will help motivate those who need no more motivation to buy. Runic also revealed the last class that will be playable in Torchlight 2; the below pictured Embermage will join the game’s Engineer, Outlander, and Berserker classes.

So all of you who were crying a bit inside can now be happy, as Bloodrayne Betrayal is now less than two weeks away from taking over the digital world and covering it in blood. Now we must just figure out what to do with ourselves for the remaining bit of time.
