Feast Your Eyes On This Gorgeous Bastion Launch Trailer
On the 20th, Bastion will kick off Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade. I’ve spent some time with it and I think this game could possibly be my new favorite game on XBLA. It’s beautiful, original, packed full of content, and completely different from the other games in its genre. It has a hand-drawn art style that’s always fun to look at and there’s a nifty feature that has the levels building in front of you as you progress through the environment. It’s a nice touch. You can see it in action in the launch trailer below.
Another of my favorite things in Bastion is it’s “Dynamic Narration” feature that delivers story exposition and comments on things you just did. One of the characters you come across, the nameless old wise man, is the guy who’s voice will follow you literally everywhere you go. If you perform some incredible feat during the game there’s a good chance he’ll comment on it. Sometimes what he says is funny, other times its useful to the development of the story, but it’s always interesting. Bastion is definitely a game that all fantasy RPG fans should check out, but even if that’s not necessarily your thing I highly suggest giving it try.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
