So this is the last trailer that we will be seeing in Japanese according to Square Enix. This is because The 3rd Birthday will be making its way onto store shelves and the PSN in Japan next week. Though this isn’t bad news because this latest trailer is perhaps one of the best that The 3rd Birthday has seen yet as it shows off the wedding scene with Aya in a bloody wedding dress, including a handful of action gameplay scenes and event modes.
Also in a scene reminiscent of Kill Bill we see why Aya is covered in blood in her wedding dress. But don’t take my word for it take a look below. There hasn’t yet been an announced release date for the West other than in Spring of next year. At least we may start seeing English trailers for 3rd Birthday after it hits shelves in Japan.
We here at Capsule Computers love video games, but we also love the opportunity to give donations to a good cause while receiving video games in exchange.
With this promotion and a few comments from you guys on our original post about it, we came up with a pretty good idea:
“How about we let you exchange your cube points* for an equivalent amount of cash donated to the promotion.”
If for some reason your funds are depleted, don’t have a paypal account, or aren’t old enough to have either of the previous this a perfect way to donate to a good cause and even receive the humble indie bundle 2 at the same time.
With the handy gift feature on this bundle, we are able to take some cube points from you and then donate an equivalent amount of cash from our funds to the promotion. The gift link** we receive will come straight back to you for you to redeem and enjoy. All with the knowledge that you helped a good cause.
If you are interested in exchanging some of your cube points for this good cause, send an email to [email protected]with the subject “Humble Indie Bundle“. In the body of the email, make sure to include the amount of points you want to donate towards this good cause, a minimum of 200 please (we don’t want to be flooded with people just making an account and getting the 100 free points to put towards this, they will have to comment a bit to get some more points); however, there is no max and the more you offer up the more we will donate to the promotion while you get your gift link. You will receive an email within 3 days with the link to where you can redeem the Humble Indie Bundle.
Since the Humble Indie Bundle Promotion only lasts for another 5 days, we will only continue to accept your cube points for about 3 to 4 days to make sure we can get all the requests in.
On top of this, if you have no points to offer you can leave a comment explaining why you believe these promotions for good causes are awesome. At the end of the 4 days we will randomly select one comment and donate a sum of money to the promotion in exchange for a humble indie bundle for that commenter. If you exchanged cube points for the bundle already, feel free to comment as well anyway. The more comments we get, the more the final donation will be and if you get picked again you have another bundle to give to a friend.
We are no longer accepting exchanges. We thank those who took part in this promotion and I’m sure the charities thank you for exchanging your cube points towards this good cause as well.
**The gift link is actually a specially designated URL that you go to and type your email address into. You will then receive a link in your email to the location of where you can download the specific Humble Indie Bundle. It is just how they have the gift setting set up.
Two trailers are incoming, both about cars and both about racing.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 isn’t just a single-player experience and in fact has a bunch of multiplayer gameplayer integrated right into the open ended world. There is a bunch to do, and the first trailer lays all the details right in front of you.
The second trailer is a look at some of the Audis coming to the game.
Test Drive Unlimited 2 is scheduled for February 2011.
Rock of Ages is a combination of puzzle game mixed in with tower defense. You take control of a giant rock as you roll over the enemy’s fields, battlements, or soldiers. It seems like an interesting concept and if you are still confused about what exactly you do, just watch the video.
This particular video is all about the power ups, and shows a multitude of them.
Check out the trailer to see all of the power ups and how they are used. Rock of Ages is set to release on XBLA in spring 2011.
Looks like all the different speculation about the next Tales game can stop now because Namco Bandai officially announced today that the newest installment in the Tales franchise will be called Tales of Xillia, and it will be available only on the PS3 (at the moment) sometime next year. This is pretty large news considering this is the first time that a Tales game has ever been released first on the PS3, but considering the track record with previous Tales games, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to hear of an eventual mutliplatform release.
A few bits of information were also revealed; such as the fact that Tales of Xillia will feature two main characters and each one has been designed by a different artist from previous games. The character you see above is named Mira Maxwell and is designed by Mutsumi Inomata who has worked on Tales of Destiny and Tales of Graces. The character you see below is named Jute Mathis and is designed by Kosuke Fujishima who has worked on Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Abyss. You can catch the trailer that was released alongside the announcement below.
After the release of Dead Space: Downfall it looks like EA isn’t done trying to tie animated movies into their Dead Space storyline. This is because they have released a brand new trailer for Dead Space 2: Aftermath which will be an animated movie tie-in with Dead Space 2. The actual movie itself will be released on January 25th, but first lets take a look at the trailer below.
While there is plenty of blood and gore to be seen as the colonists are murdered, an interesting thing to note is that rather than sticking with a specific animation style they have flip flopped around. While parts of the trailer are completely animated and rival most Anime styled shows, there are other parts that feature CG rendering instead. Though one can note that the CG parts are somewhat disheartening to look at in my opinion. Reminds me a bit of the old childhood computer animated show Reboot!.
If you haven’t spent all your monies next year onthat map pack we all know is coming, then you may have enough left over for an entire game. Section 8: Prejudice will be releasing digitally on XBLA, PSN and PC early next year. TimeGate Studio’s goal is to corner the digital distribution market for first person shooters, which is probably a remarkably wise decision.
A 5-hour single-player campaign,online multi-player for 32 players, and a 4-player co-op game mode called Swarm will be included. Even better than this, all game modes and content will be playable offline with full bot support. Section 8: Prejudice will release for $14.99 or 1200 MS Points. PC support includes Steam and Games for Windows- Live on Demand. You can also now sign up for the PC beta: http://beta.timegate.com/
If you like the Gingerbread Man, you will probably love I Must Run!, a new game for the PSP Minis, iPhone, iPad and Android devices. Jump, punch, slide and RUN through a city full of obstacle courses while playing as a Marine trying to get his girlfriend back from kidnappers. According to the developers, it is “simple to learn, hard to master.” Plus, you get cool special effects like rain and wind impeding your abilities by shaking the screen. I Must Run! released today in North America for $3.99 on the PSP. The release date for Europe is next week and the price is €2.99 on the PSP side of things. Get the iPhone version for a buck. Android and iPad support is coming soon.
Tomorrow is going to be another day of great releases for the Apple App Store, like any other Thursday in the past (remembered what came out last week? If you don’t, refer HEREa short list). It’s probably going to be the final Thursday before the rumored-iTunes Connect locked down for Christmas this year. Apple similarly locked down iTunes Connect last year from 23rd to 28th December, which stopped all the developers and publishers from submitting any new games or new updates for the App Store. The same thing is most probably going to happen again later this month, so this week will be the week where the final rush of the new games comes in!
Alright. Let’s look at some of the games which will be in store for you tomorrow! This is by no means the complete list of game releases since there are too many to list. They are now available for purchase in the New Zealand App Store, and should be available in every other App Store few hours later (due to the time zone thingy). And yeah, we are not responsible for any spending-disease outbreak upon reading this article. If you’re well-prepared, then read on!
