Have Another Look At ‘Sir, You Are Being Hunted’

If you aren’t excited for Big Robot’s upcoming “tweedpunk robo-horror” game Sir, You Are Being Hunted, then I’m not doing my job right. In it, you’re being hunted by classy English robots who smoke pipes and bleep, bloop about the British countryside. It’s one of the most original indie games I’ve seen so far, and the way it mixes dark, quirky humor with horror is really rather impressive.

So why don’t you slip into a velvet bathrobe, sink real deep into that giant recliner and take a puff out of your big oak pipe, because I’m about to hand-feed you some new gameplay, dipped in love.

New ‘Call Of Duty: Ghosts’ Trailer, DLC Coming To Xbox One First

Like past installments in this generation’s biggest game franchise, Call of Duty: Ghosts will be multi-platform, but during the Xbox One reveal it was confirmed that Microsoft’s console will be getting DLC first. That’s unsurprising, seeing as Activision and Microsoft have struck similar deals with previous Call of Duty games. If you like your explosions next-gen, you’re going to love the trailer I have waiting for you after the break.

It’s not quite as pretty as I would have expected. I think it’s safe to say Battlefield 4 is ahead of it visually, but when it comes to dog mo-cap technology, Ghosts is really second to none.

Full ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Trailer Is Here And It’s Marvelous

A few days ago we were given a tease of the trailer for the upcoming Warner Bros developed prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins, and now, the full trailer has emerged from the shadows of the Internet to punch you squarely in the face with five minutes of pure awesome.

I’ve already watched it twice, because I’m a geek and I like watching guys flip, spin, and beat the crap out of each other while tossing out the random gruff one-liner so their opponent knows their superhero suit is isn’t nearly as cool as what they have on. I could totally keep going, but I’m positive 99% of you have already skimmed past my ramblings so you can watch the trailer. Thanks for that.

Batman And Deathstroke Duel In New ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Teaser

If you woke up this morning with a craving to watch two guys beat the crap out of each other during a blizzard than boy oh boy, I do think I’m about to make your day. Warner Bros just unveiled a first look at Batman: Arkham Origins — a prequel to Rocksteady’s gritty Batman series developed by Warner Bros Montreal, the studio that brought us the Arkham City Armored Edition for Wii U. In it, Deathstroke and the Dark Knight engage in glorious fisticuffs.

Rocksteady won’t be handling the development of this game, possibly so they can stay focused on the next-gen Batman game they better be working on right now. This teaser is a bit on the short side, but that’s because it’s just a slice of the tasty Batman pie we can look forward to gorging ourselves on — the full trailer is coming May 20th.

‘The Forest’ Is ‘The Descent’ Meets ‘Cannibal Holocaust’

Category: Games / Videos

Another horror game recently made its way onto Steam Greenlight, but this one isn’t quite like the rest. It’s an open world survival horror game that places you in a forest, alone, unarmed, and with a population of freaky pale cannibals that would very much like to eat you alive. You’ll need to learn how to start a fire, construct a shelter, and scavenge for food in order to survive. Even if you master that part, you’ll have to either hide from or defend against the forest’s hostile inhabitants. More after the jump, including a debut trailer.

I once saw a man’s head explode. True story.

You too can see a man’s head, or rather, his entire body, explode in this new gameplay demo for Saints Row IV. You can also see mech fights, Crackdown-esque super-people doing super cool things, witness the dangers of Dubstep, and so much more. Let’s allow those dull corners of the Internet to discuss how big GTA V’s world is, in the meantime we’ll be freezing cars so we can play People Hockey.

Capcom is bringing Resident Evil: Revelations to every serious gaming platform later this month, but the console Capcom looks to be pushing the hardest is the Wii U. Where the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Revelations bring with them a few new features and remastered visuals, the Wii U version offers all that and a couple exclusive features that make full use of the console’s unique controller and Miiverse, all of which you can see in the trailer I have waiting for you beyond the break.

Gorge Yourself On Nine Amazing Minutes Of Footage From The ‘Eternal Darkness’ Sequel

Games

Category: Games / Videos

Released in 2002, Eternal Darkness is a survival horror game that developed a strong cult following, yet despite critical acclaim, it never saw the sequel it deserved. That is, until now. (cue Inception trailer sound)

Shadow of the Eternals is an episodic horror game that is being referred to as a “spiritual successor” by developer Precursor Games, but one look at the art style, gameplay, story and characters, and it looks like everything fans have been asking for from a “true sequel” for years. Silicon Knights’ and Precursor founder Denis Dyack recently sat down with IGN to debut a nine minute gameplay demo — currently a work in progress — which you can watch after the break.

In this installment of Indie Horror Spotlight, our heroes (David and I) play the latest game from Klei Entertainment, an open-world survival game that refuses to hold your hand. It’s called Don’t Starve, and it’s the game Tim Burton would’ve wanted to make, if he knew what video games were.

What makes this episode so exciting, you ask? Why, it’s only exciting if the image of me chasing down rabbits with an axe in one hand and the will to survive, no matter the cost in the other gets you excited. Also, about half-way through David decides he’ll have no more of my chicanery. Check it out after the jump!

‘Watch Dogs’ Gets A New Trailer, Launching In November

Watch Dogs was easily the most exciting announcement to come out of E3 last year, but it also felt so far away. Today that changes, as Ubisoft has revealed a launch date alongside a brand new trailer. What attracted me to this game — outside of the fact that everything else that came out of the event was decidedly “been there, done that” — was how intriguing its concept was.

It’s an open world game set in the modern day, so the setting isn’t exactly unique, but the ability to hack into and control the environment around you is a nice addition. It also looks gorgeous, though that isn’t all that surprising seeing as it’s also coming to next-gen consoles.

Every time I see something new from Metro: Last Light my excitement for it doubles. As a fan of the hugely underappreciated post-apocalyptic gem that was 2033, I’m very much looking forward to seeing what 4A Games does with the sequel. It looks like it will bring more of what was so great about the original — a creepy atmosphere, beautiful environments, an arsenal brimming with cool guns, monsters, mutants, ghosts (please bring back the shadow people, those were terrifying), and so much more.

If you’re as pumped as I am for Last Light, check out this incredible new Redemption trailer.

Remember people, in an irradiated, post-apocalyptic environment, good mask management is your friend. Now say it with me, “My mask is my friend,” “my mask is my friend…” Metro: Last Light’s epic trilogy of survival guide featurettes concludes today with a look at your arsenal and equipment, including your gas mask — an important feature in 2033 — wrist watch, flashlight and, of course, your guns. The shooting in the original game wasn’t great, but it sounds like significant effort is being invested into remedying that with Last Light.

Indie tweedpunk robo-horror title Sir, You Are Being Hunted looks spectacular. It’s a quirky indie horror game with an emphasis on exploration and survival, as you’re hunted mercilessly by gangs (gaggles? murders? hornswaggles?) of robots. I really can’t wait to run for my life over a charming British countryside as robots and their robot dogs chase me. If this gets your nether bits aflutter, I recommend watching some of this brand new gameplay footage.

Earlier this morning, Bethesda officially announced The Evil Within with a creepy live-action trailer, sans any gameplay. I’m not a fan of trailers that show nothing of the game they’re advertising, because even if the trailer is amazing it doesn’t accurately represent the game.

Thankfully, we’ve also been given a batch of deeply unsettling screenshots that show off what the game will actually look like. After looking through them, The Evil Within looks strikingly similar to Resident Evil 4, which Mikami helmed back when he was with Capcom. The camera, combat, even a few of the enemies and locations. Check them out after the break!

“We’re incredibly proud to announce The Evil Within,” said Mikami. “My team and I are committed to creating an exciting new franchise, providing fans the perfect blend of horror and action.” Watch its intensely creepy live-action debut trailer after the jump.

I like to fancy myself an enthusiast of the horror genre. I’m experienced, desensitized, some might say. For some reason, all that experience goes out the window when I play a game like Slender: The Arrival — the “reimagining” of Mark Hadley’s The Eight Pages, which you probably remember taking the Internet by storm last summer. It’s a collaborative effort between Hadley, Blue Isle Studios, and Marble Hornets creators Joseph DeLage, Troy Wagner and Tim Sutton. It’s terrifying. If you’d like a good laugh, feel free to watch me try and play it after the jump.

Better Your Chances Of Survival By Watching This ‘Metro: Last Light’ Survival Guide

The post-apocalyptic wilderness can be a dangerous place. Not everyone has the strength, cunning and resourcefulness that’s required to survive a world like the one in Metro: Last Light. In fact, there are some of us who will almost definitely end up being among the first to fall to the mutants, bandits, radiation, irradiated mutant bandits, or any of the myriad other horrors that come with a nuclear apocalypse.

Three minutes ago I fell squarely into that category of people, but after watching the first part of this handy survival guide, I’d say I stand a good chance of lasting just a wee bit longer. If you’d like to get your learning on, I recommend checking this out.

I appreciate a creepy teaser every now and then, but I’ve been itching to see what this indie horror game actually looks like for some time now. The Legend is powered by the CryEngine 3 — the same engine the Crysis series uses — so I hoped this would look great. After seeing some gameplay footage, I’m not disappointed.

New Gameplay From Vampire Game ‘Dark’ Leaves Me Worried

Games
Posted by BurnTheBlueSky on March 27, 2013 @ 3:52pm
Category: Games / Trailers

Dark is our chance to get a good vampire game. Though vampires seem to be taking over tv and movies, we haven’t seen much of an influx in the video game world. Which is a shame because if the right company starts putting the effort towards a game the genre could become as big as zombies have. What does make me nervous about Dark is that it looks like it might focus too heavily on stealth. It makes sense because vampires are usually pretty stealthy. However, it could also hurt the game if it becomes repetitive and boring. I’ll let you make that decision. Head past the break to check out the latest game play video and game features.

After watching her kick kick a literal boat-load of slimy monster ass, I can see she’s more than capable of handling herself. What I’m not so sure of is how practical that outfit of hers is. Is her plan to distract the monsters with her cleavage long enough to line up a shot? See Rachel in action after the jump.

Blizzard Shows Off ‘Diablo III’ On PS3, Sans Auction House And Required Internet Connection

Despite being a tremendous critical and commercial success, Blizzard has spent much of the year following the release of Diablo III apologizing for its auction house, required Internet connection, and weak finale. Personally, I loved the game, even though it didn’t grab me with quite as firm a grip as Diablo II, which I continued to play off and on even a decade after its release. It’s a great game, and if the controversies bothered you enough to keep you from playing it on PC, the upcoming console version may be the one to get.

For starters, its impending release on the PS3, PS4, and possibly one or more of Microsoft’s consoles, will not bring with it a required Internet connection to play. The auction house, which for me, made the experience of finding loot less satisfying, also won’t be coming to consoles. Blizzard showed off some brand new gameplay footage taken on the PS3 at PAX East, which you can watch after the break.
