While BioShock 2 is being worked on by a different studio, that doesn’t mean it’s being worked on by different people. Here, a BioShock 1 veteran takes us through nine minutes of BioShock 2.
Now, if you’re precious about this kind of thing, there might be spoilers within. Might. We don’t know! If we don’t know the plot, how can we know if it’s being spoiled?
This clip is currently being hosted on the site of a now-former 3D Realms employee (though it can no longer be accessed publicly). It’s full of, supposedly, Duke Nukem Forever gameplay footage.
You’ll see many of the same enemies from that concept art that surfaced the other day, so it certainly looks legit. It also has boobs, so don’t watch it at work. Read more…
The opening cinematic for Atari’s Ghostbusters game isn’t all that much different from any other video game opening – until the music kicks in.
If there was ever any doubt that Ray Parker Jr. is every bit a part of the Ghostbusters cast as the franchise’s four main characters, this trailer completely reinforces that fact. One minute I’m half-watching a security guard bumbling through a museum in the dark; the next minute I’m eleven-years-old ad sitting next to my mother, munching popcorn in a movie theater in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. I’ve got to go hug my mother now.
Magical floating sky arrows replace the standard GPS system in the post-apocalyptic world of Codemasters’ Fuel.
I’m not exactly sure what Codemasters’ marketing folks were thinking when they decided to create a trailer that compared modern-day car navigation systems with red arrows flying through the sky in the direction you are supposed to be heading. One is a relatively mundane technological tool, while the other is obviously a result of the dark magics that created the apocalypse in the first place. The game blames global warming, but once you start harnessing demonic energies to help you find the nearest Wal-Mart the world is pretty much screwed no matter what direction the temperature is moving.
With successful role-playing-game franchises like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, it’s easy to forget that Square Enix actually makes games in other genres.
Take these upcoming games, for example. There’s 0 Day Attack on Earth and Project CUBE. Both are shooters, both are from Square Enix and both are for Xbox LIVE Arcade.
At 1:30 or so of this clip, what looks like footage from The Beatles: Rock Band goes up on the screen behind Sir Paul McCartney, performing at Coachella on Friday.
The clip is 9 minutes long, but of the ones circulating out there, it offers the longest and clearest look at Rock Band’s animations. Which it has to be, the face texturing and the cuts have that RB feel.
