You can never take vague executive statements to the bank, especially during E3, but what EA Games’ Frank Gibeau said earlier today about Mirror’s Edge is at least cause for cautious optimism. Speaking with GameTrailers, Gibeau said “We haven’t killed Mirror’s Edge”. “We’re actively looking at how to bring it back in the right way.…
Firstly, because it controls a little differently. But, more importantly, because of the player’s character, and the game’s setting. You’re not a space marine. Or a US Marine. Or a cyborg, bounty hunter or cowboy. You’re…a balding old British geezer, a crackpot alien invasion nut who has the last laugh when aliens invade and start…
While Nintendo is yet to confirm it as a system-wide feature, at least one developer has been able to kiss friend codes on the new Wii U console goodbye. That developer is Ubisoft, whose version of Ghost Recon Online will keep a player account linked to a player, and not a machine. It will also…
Ubisoft and Nintendo revealed today that the Assassin’s Creed series will be coming to the new Wii U console. Sadly, Ubisoft played coy on just which game that would be, so it could be an all-new game, or it could just be a port!
Respawn Entertainment, the new studio founded by Call of Duty creators Jason West and Vince Zampella following their messy split from Activision, is of course working on a shooter. But what kind of shooter? A future shooter, that’s what. The game is being published by EA, and at an event earlier today EA Games’ Frank…
No cinematic trailers or target footage here. Just a guy playing Prey 2 so you know what it actually looks like.
There weren’t many games shown off as part of Nintendo’s Wii U reveal. Not many games actually running on the Wii U, anyway FIlling that void, reader Kyle and his mates put together this gallery of dream Wii U projects, some likely, some possible, maybe (at least in terms of application), and others sadly simply…
So those Asura’s Wrath screens from yesterday…they were fine, but trailers always speak louder than screenshots. Especially when they’re speaking in Japanese, and it’s loud, and angry.
Team Siren, a division of Sony Japan’s internal studio, is working on a Vita game called Gravity. You may not have heard about it earlier in the week amidst all the other big Sony news, and that’s a damn shame. Why? Because it looks fantastic, that’s why. With a cel-shaded visual style and motion controls,…
Brilliant DS music game Rhythm Heaven is coming to the Wii, and you can see how toe-tappingly distracting it’s going to be in this E3 trailer for the title. Looks so simple, but man, it’s going to get its hooks in you.
Gran Turismo 5 was just seriously updated, v1.10 of the racing game bringing not just tweaks and fixes, but some new content as well. Alongside AI improvements and campaign saving changes, GT5 v1.10 introduces online prizes for multiplayer racing, new campaign avatar wardrobe options and, best of all, a streamlined way to buy parts, so…
The first proper day of the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo was dominated by one thing: a new Wii console with a silly name. The unveiling of the Wii U was the first new home console we’d seen since 2006, so people were excited. If you want to see what the fuss was about (or just…
Seven minutes of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was nice. Know what’s nicer? Nearly twice that much raw, actual gameplay from Skyrim’s 360 version.
The ArmA series can be mean, sure, but stick with them and they’re also hugely rewarding. Kind of like this E3 trailer for ArmA III. Kind of. OK, so it’s not that satisfying, but you know how it looks so real? Real can be boring and unsatisfying sometimes too. Which, ironically, makes a well-made ArmA…
Continuing a “multimedia” promotional strategy that’s seen such wonders as the latest Street Fighter movie, Capcom has asked Hollywood production company Screen Gems (part of Sony Pictures) to whip up a Devil May Cry feature film. It’ll be a live-action project, written by Kyle Ward, who has also penned the upcoming (and long in production…
Yes. It’s been announced at E3 that NECA, makers of fine action figures (increasingly these days based on games), have picked up a license from the Half-Life creators “to produce consumer products based on Valve’s much-acclaimed games”. That will mean action figures at an absolute minimum, but hopefully also given the wording things like replica…
This is Ice-T’s Body Count. Performing at a Gears of War 3 party in LA earlier tonight. That’s a match made in heaven if ever I’ve seen one.
Here’s a surprise. Nintendo’s most interesting game of E3 2011 may also be one of its least-publicised, because The Rolling Western for the 3DS looks great Mixing action gameplay with a tower defence-style strategic element (including what looks like resource gathering), it’s not even a retail game. It’s a downloadable from the new eShop for…
Like IBM, hardware company AMD has also issued a release boasting of its support for Nintendo’s new Wii U console. While the company of course refrains from posting hard statistics, it does say it has provided a “custom AMD Radeon HD GPU” for the system. This of course isn’t a shock, since AMD also helped…
The very definition of a tease, this is a clip for upcoming MMO Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium, a game set in the classic sci-fi universe of the same name.
