Would you like to have some hands on time with Asura’s Wrath, Dragon’s Dogma, Resident Evil Revelations, or Street Fighter X Tekken? Then you will have to go to Germany for Gamescom. All 4 games will be playable there. Will you be taking the plunge to go to one of Europe’s finest gaming conventions?

Hopefully some new information on the above titles as well as other Capcom and non-Capcom games will be announced. You can be sure that Capsule Computers will have all the news and information coming out of Germany on our site.

Capcom’s booth is located in Hall 6 at Gamescom.

Bloodrayne Betrayal Delayed until October 5th for the XBLA…

Here is some rather disappointing news for those of you who have been craving Bloodrayne Betrayal, as the game has now been delayed until October 5th for the Xbox Live Arcade. On an interesting note, PSN users will get the title one month ahead of the XBLA when it launches on “Playstation Network Play” on September 6th.

Seeing that Bloodrayne Betrayal has been one of my most anticipated games this year, I can say this news is a bit somber, but after the fantastic releases during Summer of Arcade I guess I can manage for two more excruciating months without my dearest Rayne. I can’t really argue with PSN users getting Bloodrayne earlier though, as XBLA users usually get the goods on all downloadable titles before the PSN.

If your favorite character to play as in Mortal Kombat happens to be Sub Zero then you will be happy to hear that your cold man will be getting a new skin, actually both of them will. This means that the normal Sub-Zero and the Cyber Sub-Zero will be getting a new redesign that players can use, and it is entirely free.

Warner Brothers released a trailer today that shows both outfits being used on the characters. Sub-Zero will be without his mask and Cyber Sub-Zero has a more retro look about him. The package will be free and is part of the game’s fourth compatibility pack. Or you could get it from the Freddy Krueger DLC, but that one costs money. They both will be available on August 9th. Catch the trailer below!

Batman: Arkham City’s Penguin may sound like Nathan Drake…because he is!

First off, The Penguin won’t actually look like that in Batman: Arkham City. Though if he did it would be amazing. Actually this is about the way that the Penguin is going to sound when Batman: Arkham City is released later this year. Rocksteady marketing game manager Dax Ginn revealed in an interview with CVG that somebody quite familiar to PS3 fans will be playing the part of Penguin.

The voice actor who will be taking on the role of The Penguin is none other than Nolan North, the man famous for his work as Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series. Of course Nolan North has done many other video game voices in the past, but his most recent work as Nathan Drake made him quite popular; though this role is far from being a pretty face.

As you may know, the Nintendo 3DS is going to get a severe drop in price on August 12th. It’ll drop $80 from its original price tag of $249.99 and will only cost $169.99 to have your very own glasses free 3D portable gaming device. But according to Cheapy D, the head of CheapAssGamer, Walmart will be breaking the street discount and will actually be selling the system at the reduced price on August 9th, three days before the price drop.

What this means of course, is that customers who want to take advantage of the cheaper 3DS price early, can also become a Nintendo 3DS Ambassador at this low cost, which also means that they will be getting all the free games from the Nintendo eShop such as ten free NES games and ten free Game Boy Advance titles. Nintendo has yet to make a statement about this and Walmart hasn’t confirmed anything yet either.

Just yesterday Sony revealed that their PlayStation Vita won’t be released in North America nor Europe this year as we were hoping originally. Instead these two regions of the world will be getting it some point in 2012, but at what time has never been stated, and most likely still will not be for awhile.

However Japanese gamers will still be getting the handheld sometime in 2011, and they will also know when they will be getting it in only a few months. That is because the release date for the PlayStation Vita will be revealed at Tokyo Game Show. VG247 found that SCEJ President Hiroshi Kawano says they already have a date “finalized” so this news will most likely end up being leaked out eventually.

Skyrim Collector’s Edition Revealed!

Quakecon is in full swing, and Bethesda have already made a major announcement at the event concerning the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as the limited edition of the game was revealed. Those who decide to shell out the $149.99 for this special set will be treated to a vast amount of goodies with a statue, a 200 page art book, a “making of Skyrim” DVD. I honestly am pretty pumped as I know if you are like me, you have been waiting for this edition to be announced before placing that pre-order.

Here are the full list of details for those who want some specifics:

  • 

The Alduin statue – Created in conjunction with the IP Factory, the collector’s only statue stands 12″ tall and was modeled from actual in-game 3D digital files.
  • The Art of Skyrim – Featuring over 200 pages of full-color illustrations, sketches and models, the 9 3/8″ x 12 1/8″ coffee table book showcases the characters, creatures, environments and weaponry of Skyrim.
  • The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DVD – Contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team as they take you from concept to creation and provide insights into the story, gameplay, setting and legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise.

Not too shabby if you have the cash for it. As you all know, Skyrim releases on 11-11-11 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, which means we are just a little over 3 months before the big release date. You also can now pre-order this set on Amazon, with Gamestop set to start taking reserves tomorrow.

So what do you think of this deluxe edition? Worth it?

Twisted Metal delayed until ‘early 2012’

Despite previously announcing that Twisted Metal would be able to make its release date of October 4th, David Jaffe is now saying that they are going to miss that date and then some because the title has now been pushed back to an early 2012 release. Jaffe says that “with this extra time for tuning and polish – the game is going to be so much better than it already is” but that is a long time to put some turtle wax on Sweet Tooth’s ice cream truck.

On the other hand it is always preferable when a company takes the time to make sure that the product they are releasing is as flawless as it possibly could be. Jaffe understands this too, as a statement on the PS Blog says that the fans “only deserve our best and we appreciate your understanding as we take a little more time to guarantee that our best is what we deliver.” With as many years as its been since the last true Twisted Metal title, I’m sure fans can wait just a little bit longer to blow each other up in vehicular combat.
