New Teaser Video for Volume

8/6/2014

 
Picture
In all the wild speculation leading up to E3 it is nice to have some news about a game that is definitely coming. Mike Bithell, lead developer behind Robin Hood reimagining, Volume, has dropped another teaser video.

In a style reminiscent of the Prometheus lead-up campaign, this shows a commercial for Gisborne Industries, an important company in the game's narrative. Featuring live actors in a shiny glossy world, the ad is pushing Gisborne Industries as the Apple of Private Military Companies. Someone is not happy about this. Click the video to check it out.

Latest Screenshots from Volume - Even More Shiny

17/2/2014

 
Good old Mike Bithell has cleansed our palates by releasing some more screenshots of stealth puzzler, Volume, in a week dominated by Titanfall news. As you can see from the pictures, the level design is now beginning to look more shiny and next-gen as he prepares the assets for a PS4 release. Textures are smoother, perspective blur is more noticeable and bloom and hologram-fuz is in much more evidence. Lighting and shading is dominated by more realistic effects, and coupled with the level editing system, it looks like it is shaping up to be a unique and interesting game on the PS4. We wait with bated breath...

Telltale Games, Gearbox Software and 2K Announce 'Tales from the Borderlands' Episodic Game Series Premiering in 2014

9/12/2013

 
Picture
If Telltale did not steal the VGX limelight with their Game of Thrones game, the announcement of a Borderlands title certainly pushed the developer over the edge of expectation.
It seems fitting that Handsome Jack be the one to tell you more about the upcoming title but its looking great and you can see and read below.
Leading and award-winning developer and publisher of digital entertainment Telltale Games, in collaboration with leading and award-winning developer Gearbox Software, and publisher 2K, announced today their partnership to create an all-new story-driven episodic game series entitled, 'Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series', set to premiere digitally in 2014 on home consoles, PC/Mac, and mobile devices.

"Gearbox shares the independent spirit that Telltale was founded on, and like Telltale, they've broken the boundaries of what to expect within a gaming genre,"said Dan Connors, co-founder and CEO of Telltale Games. "Our partnership is something that we are very excited about, because it will unite the incredibly rich world of Borderlands with Telltale's focus on story-telling driven by player choice, and characters that people truly care about."

'Tales from the Borderlands' will explore and expand on the stories of existing and all-new characters from the world of Pandora, as seen in the critically-acclaimed and best-selling Borderlands® 2 from Gearbox and 2K.

"At the 2012 Spike TV VGAs, our studios and games - Borderlands 2 and The Walking Dead - were fortunate to do incredibly well that night winning more awards than any other games! So we met up later for a great first date, one thing lead to another and, well, we're having a baby," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "Borderlands is incredibly important to us, so it is meaningful to share that with this partnership. I have great confidence and excitement for what Telltale has in store for its all-new adventures in our universe."

Developed by Gearbox Software, and published by 2K - a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. - the Borderlands franchise has sold-in more than 15 million units worldwide, won more than 55 editorial awards, and was a breakout original property that invented a new genre, the FPS/RPG hybrid known as "shooter-looter."

Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series will be published digitally by Telltale Games in partnership with Gearbox Software.

A New York Comic Con teaser from CD Projekt Red and Dark Horse

3/10/2013

 
The teaser below pretty much gives the game away but its still hugely exciting. 
My take on the teaser is; 
The Witcher series has been lauded as one of the best in recent times so linking this franchise with Dark Horse will hopefully to reward us with a must buy series in the near future.

Batman: Arkham Origins to feature an Online Component.

31/7/2013

 
Picture
The Arkham franchise up to this point has kept itself fully rooted in the single player domain. However news today from Warner and DC have shown a move towards the online space. Whether this is a new developer moving the game forwards (the online component is being produced by Splash Damage) or pressure for sales we will never know.
One thing is for sure the 3v3v2 structure could be interesting as the trailer below shows.

Bioshock Infinite; Burial at Sea Episode 1 Teaser

30/7/2013

 
SPOILER Ridden trailer DO NOT WATCH or read unless you have finished the game.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Unlike the Clash in the Clouds DLC Burial at Sea will extend the story of Booker and Elizabeth to new depths.

By depths, we mean really mean depths as it takes place in a pre-fall rapture. The chance of exploring the underwater 'uptopia' with our intrepid duo really is wetting the appetite.

Release details of the two part series will available soon.

A review of the full game is available here
Apologies for the awful underwater puns. I'm just rather excited at the prospect of dipping into this DlLC. Sorry again could not help myself.

Saints Row IV Goes Gold, Season Pass DLC Plans Revealed

24/7/2013

 
The important news is listed below the Trailer but before you get too excited give the Weapons of Mass Abduction a view. That way you can be really psyched for whats to come.
Publisher Deep Silver revealed today that the upcoming, over-the-top, open-world action game Saints Row IV has gone gold and fans are now able to pre-order a season pass for the planned downloadable content (DLC) for EUR 9,99 / £ 7.99 at participating retailers.  The Season Pass for the much awaited Saints Row IV from developer Volition will include two brand-new mission packs and the Season Pass-exclusive “Rectifier” anal probe weapon, which will help you, the President of the United States, get the ‘inside’ information from your enemies as you save Earth from a dangerous alien infestation.

Included in the Season Pass is the Director’s Cut of the previously announced “Enter the Dominatrix” DLC,  a tongue-in-cheek vision of what this content was originally going to be like, along with a second mission pack coming in late 2013.

Season Passes will be available for purchase on all platforms and include  upcoming add-on content worth more than EUR 15 / £ 12. Saints Row IV launches on current-gen consoles and PC on August 20th in North America and August 23rd in the rest of the world.
