Comic-Con 2011: The Old Republic Join the Fight Trailer

BioWare and LucasArts have premiered a brand new trailer for their upcoming massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: The Old Republic ‘Join the Fight‘. Whilst not as ‘cinematically epic’ as previous trailers, this new trailer is made up entirely out of in-game footage, showing off each of the game’s varied classes and factions (the Sith and Jedi). As well as it gives players a small taste of what to expect from what is tipped to be one of this year’s biggest games.

Star Wars: The Old Republic is set to be released in late 2011 for PC, however BioWare has not yet named an official release date at this point in time.

Comic-Con 2011: Dexter Season 6 Trailer

Another new trailer fresh out of San Diego Comic-Con 2011, is that of the sixth season of Dexter, the serial-killer drama. In the trailer we get a glimpse of the plethora of guest stars that will be either helping Dexter kill people or getting killed by Dexter in the final episode. No that’s not a spoiler, it’s just how every season so far excluding the brilliant season 2, have gone. I’d say it’s a fair assumption.

Oh and this time there will be more Jesus and religious connotations. Also let’s not forget, once more because you didn’t boycott it enough. the highly anticipated continued romantic melo-drama of LaGuerta and Batista will flood screens in attempt to convince viewers that anyone besides Michael C. Hall is worth paying attention to on this show.

Check out the trailer below and leave us a comment with your thoughts on the upcoming season of Dexter. Is the series spinning it’s wheels?

Comic-Con 2011: Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer

A new trailer for AMC’s zombie-thrill ride, The Walking Dead’s second season sprang up at San Diego Comic-Con 2011. Previously a trailer for the second season was released last week. However this is a far deeper look into what is to come, which seems to be complete utter chaos and anything but unity amongst the central group of survivors.

The Walking Dead is a television adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s popular graphic novel series of the same name. The first season aired a total of 6 episodes last year and the dead that walk will be slowly limping their way onto television screens this Halloween. For now, quench your first for blood, guts and even brains with the trailer below. As always let us know what you think in the comments below.

Penguin and Solomon Grundy enter into Batman: Arkham City together

Today seems like a good day as any to release yet another bit of Batman: Arkham City news and in this we see two familiar faces step into the city of Arkham. Though at least one of them has had a bit of a make over. First we are given a nice little introduction to the Penguin who apparently has captured a lot of cops, and also is now British and looks much different than normal in the comics.

Also revealed today was a small tidbit of footage showing that Solomon Grundy has decided to team up with Penguin. Or maybe decided isn’t the right word considering Penguin has him chained up under ground. Never know when he’ll want to go Grundy Smash! on something though so perhaps that’s to keep his club intact. Catch the trailer below.

Gears of War 3 rated in Germany; Epic pleasantly surprised

Epic Games’ Gears of War series has always been very violent and very bloody. So much so that Gears of War and Gears of War 2 were indexed in Germany, meaning that they were not allowed to be released there. However it appears that Gears of War 3 has officially received a USK 18 rating in Germany meaning that German gamers will finally be able to play Gears of War 3 without needing to import it from other countries.

Epic Games president Mike Capps spoke with Joystiq about this approval and he said that they were pleasantly surprised that they were approved, especially considering Gears of War 3 is, if anything, more violent than previous iterations. “To me, Gears 3 is not just more of Gears 2, but tons more. … It doesn’t immediately strike me as something easier to pass through. It’s not a modified version there. We have a “no gore” filter, but we’ve had that for Gears. We didn’t do anything special for Germany this time.”

Joystiq then asked about whether or not they would resubmit the past two games to be rated in Germany now that this one passed and he had this to say: “That’s a fantastic idea. We didn’t try to submit it at all. I don’t think anyone thought to. We’ll give it a shot.”

When it was announced that Twisted Pixel’s Gunstringer would be released as a full retail game instead of a downloadable title some people grew worried about what they should expect. But it seems that they should have expected a good deal instead of worrying because if you purchase The Gunstringer you will be getting a plethora of extras to go with it.

Buying the game new will result in players receiving two codes which will allow them to download Halfbrick’s Fruit Ninja Kinect for free as well as The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles DLC for Gunstringer. The DLC will place players against the son of the first boss in the game, Wavy Tube Man Jr. after he stole a time machine to take revenge against you. Also if you pre-order The Gunstringer you will be able to download two free Avatar props. For all of this you will only need to pay $39.99 when the game is released on September 13th in the US and £29.99 in the UK on September 16.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 producer explains the reason for disc only release

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 producer explains the reason for disc only release

Ryota Niitsuma, producer at Capcom had a few things to say to Destructoid at Comic Con regarding Marvel vs Capcom 3 and the subsequent Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Niitsuma said that they would have loved to support the original Marvel vs Capcom 3 with DLC but apparently it was out of their control. He said,””After the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 there were plans to release DLC. But, as you know, less than a month after the game was released we had the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.”

Because of this this caused a development lapse and they decided that it would be best to release an entirely new disc with more modes than the original. The added characters are “half and half” between DLC and new characters for UMvC3 alone. He also went on to say that the leaked character list was “a shame” but that “fans of our fighting games, that’s where the real fun is — seeing those characters move and act.” So this means that despite the leak of every character we will see the slow slog of character announcements and trailers like we did with MvC3.
