Max Payne 3 trailer only days away

Rockstar cetainly aren’t ones to beat about the bush! Only a day after promising lots of Max Payne 3 news over the coming weeks, the company have announced a release date for the game’s first trailer,  complete with its own piece of artwork. We’re getting a closer look at Max himself this time round, all blood and stress and booze.

What the trailer itself will feature hasn’t been mentioned, rather deftly adding another little hook of anticipation as to whether there will be actual gameplay on show.

If you’re not running in the same time zone as the Rockstar team (EST), then Australians are looking at the early hours of Thursday morning (3am Sydney), and Europe around 5pm (UK) on the Wednesday. But of course, keep an eye on Capsule Computers for all the latest!

Hunter’s Trophy Coming To Playstation 3

Bluemouth Interactive have at it again with some more Playstation 3 releases. This time they are distributing Hunter’s Trophy all over the country. Developed by Big Ben Interactive, Hunter’s Trophy is a true hunting simulation, respectful of hunting regulations. Using a rifle or a bow, you hunt over 20 different species in many different terrains, by day, by night, in the rain or in the sunshine. The game also features an arcade mode shooting range with clay pigeons, targets and shapes.

Although you will be able to use the DualShock controller, the game will come with a genuine break-open-barrel rifle accessory for use with Playstation Move. Yes, a rifle for your Playstation Move. Other feature include stereoscopic 3D and Ball-Trap mode for up to 4 players. It was also developed in cooperation with the Loire Atlantique, France, a regional hunting federation, so the game is going for an accurate simulation.

Expect the game in early November for the price of $69.95. Check out the full package below.

F1 2011 Co-op Championship Mode Unveiled

Codemasters released their third Developer Diary Video, focusing on the new Co-op Championship Mode. The mode allows two players to link up online and race for the same F1 team in an attempt to win the “FIA Formula One Constructor’s World Championship”.

Racers must balance individual and team goals as they compete individually as well for the Drivers’ Championship Title, giving gamers an insight into what it’s like for the pros.

“Now when I look across the garage and see my team mate in there, I am not comparing myself against an AI team mate, I’m comparing myself against someone that I know personally.” said Chief Game Designer Stephen Hood.

F1 comes out on the 22nd of September for 360, PS3 and PC. Check out the video down below to see some footage of Co-op Championship Mode!

Hunter x Hunter 2011 Trailer!

That’s right, the long awaited first footage of the new Hunter x Hunter anime series has finally made it’s way online. NTV (who will be airing the new series in Japan) have uploaded a 17 second long promo trailer which is also going to be making the rounds on Japanese television.

We don’t see alot, however we do get a first taste of the new voice of Gon the protagonist as well as a deeper look at the character designs of Gon, Kurapika, Leorio and Aunt Mito. Not only that but a good ear would be able to pick up what could be the opening or ending theme playing along in the background.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 screens talk about time travel and the end of days

Sure things may seem bright and happy with the way that the characters look in Final Fantasy XIII-2 but things are anything but. It seems that Noel is from a future where he was the last person born on the planet, and has traveled back in time to change the future.

In these screenshots we also see a number of things, including plenty of combat and the quick time event styled moments that will change up the battlefield. Also shown were a few pieces of cutscene featuring Lightning doing battle with Chaos Bahamut as well as fighting with an armored figure. If there is anything that you can take away from these screenshots is that the game looks absolutely beautiful, and should retain that quality when it is released early next year.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution’s ‘Missing Link’ DLC given trailer

After the news that Square Enix has shipped out two million copies of the game, they have also released a trailer for the Missing Link DLC which will be released for Deus Ex: Human Revolution in October. You can catch the trailer below, which mostly consists of Adam being tied to a chair and beaten mercilessly by Belltower agents.

The Missing Link downloadable content will fill in the three day blackout in Human Revolution and Jensen has lost use of his augmentations. Players will be able to rebuild Adam’s augmentations, which most likely means they can re-distrubute their Praxis points to either make use of wasted skills or change their playstyle completely.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution augments stores with 2 million shipped copies

It is always a good sign when a game ships over a million copies, but when a company can ship at least two million copies of their game then it is easy to assume that the game is at least doing well. Though this is games shipped, not sold, the title has reached the top of both UK and US sales charts for last month. Plus, the more games sold, the more that need shipping.

With Human Revolution being an absolutely amazing experience, as you can see in my review, and with the Missing Link DLC coming next month, Square Enix and Eidos Montreal are doing their best to make sure people pick up this title. It is also worth noting that the title has not yet been released in Japan and these figures are from North America, Europe and PAL territories.

Team Ninja to announce new game at Tokyo Game Show

Tokyo Game Show is under a week away and Team Ninja is making sure that fans of their games are going to be tuning in by announcing an announcement. Tecmo Koei’s Team Ninja has said on their official twitter that next week at Tokyo Game Show the company would be announcing a new game.

Unfortunately they didn’t go into any detail as to whether this game would be a new franchise, one of their current successful franchises like Dead or Alive, though one for Ninja Gaiden is unlikely as they are still working on Ninja Gaiden 3. Nor do we know what console it will be on, so stay tuned next week to find out exactly what Team Ninja is going to be working on.

Nintendo announces Metallic Rose DSi XL

8

To a resounding response of what? Nintendo has announced a new color for their Nintendo DSi XL handheld. Never a company to let their handhelds die in piece (though they certainly seem fine letting the Wii die a depressingly slow death), this color will hit stores on September 18th. It will cost $169.99 which is the same price as the recently dropped 3DS price.

This is a bit strange simply because their 3DS sales in North America have rose by 260%, but with the DSi XL being the same price as the 3DS it is certainly strange that Nintendo continues to release colors for what can now be considered as old tech. Plus how many people who don’t already own a 3DS or DSi XL are going to run out and buy this pink one?

Yasuhiro Wada and Yoshiro Kimura no longer working with Grasshopper Manufacture

0

Grasshopper Manufacture is a company that has quite a lot of famous names in the video game world in its roster, but it seems that two of those names have moved on from the company. In a report by Siliconera, it seems that two of their most recent high profile workers have left the company. Ex-Marvelous president Yasuhiro Wada and Little King’s Story creator Yoshiro Kimura both worked for Marvelous in the past and joined Grasshopper in 2010.

The two had worked alongside Suda 51 as producers for the No More Heroes games, though their current projects were unknown. However with Grasshopper Manufacture currently developing a literal ton of games, such as Evangelion Sound Impact, Lollipop Chainsaw, Codename D, Sine Mora and Black Knight Sword, it is mildly concerning to see these names leave the company.
