RUMOR

Is Climax Working On A Horror Game Set In A Dollhouse?

It’s all conjecture, but judging by the images Climax Studios — the dev behind Silent Hill: Origins and Shattered Memories — has been trickling out via their Facebook page, it looks like their next game may be of the horror persuasion… and maybe set in a dollhouse. I can see it, dollhouses are creepy.

Now, it’s “unannounced” so for all we know this could be a post-apocalyptic Barbie adventure game. It has a nebulous ’2013′ release window, so my guess is they’re waiting to announce it at E3, but I could be wrong, the reveal could be a ways off. Check out some images (not sure if they’re screenshots, promotional art, concept art, or none of the above) after the jump.

Microsoft Might Reveal The Next Xbox On April 26

Category: Games / News

Not content to give Sony all the headlines, Microsoft may be prepping a reveal of the next Xbox on April 26th. CVG associate editor Rob Crossley recently tweeted “The next Xbox event is scheduled for April 26th, I’ve been told by someone I trust. Microsoft may change date, obvs, but diarise tentatively.” Like all rumors, this should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, but it corroborates with recent rumblings that Microsoft has been working on an official unveiling of their new console soon.

I think there’s a very good chance we’ll actually see the console when Microsoft announces it, otherwise Xbox Live’s Major Nelson’s recent potshot at Sony’s decision not to reveal their console probably would come off as a little hypocritical.

It’s all but certain the next PlayStation will be unveiled by Sony on Tuesday. We’ve seen teasers, controller prototypes, and spent some time guessing what the console’s logo will look like, but nothing in the way of actual news will arrive until the 20th, when Sony makes their big reveal(s?) at an event in NYC (at 6pm EST). That isn’t stopping the Internet from spreading rumors like wildfire, and the most recent of these is a report from the Wall Street Journal that says the next PlayStation will stream PS3 games. More after the jump.

The ‘System Shock’ Series Is Coming Soon To GOG.com With Steam To Follow

The System Shock franchise, which comprises two of my all-time favorite horror games, is coming soon to Steam and GOG.com. The report first broke from Flesh Eating Zipper, the only news site — that I’m aware of — with a more disturbing name than ours. The studio that will be breathing new life into the franchise is Night Dive Studios, a developer/publisher that specializes “in finding classic, abandoned and forgotten PC games and bringing them back into the hands of gamers.” System Shock and its sequel are classics that have been long abandoned, though I wouldn’t go so far as to call them forgotten. I’ll never forget it. I love it far too much.

Rumor: Square Enix Might Be Working On A New Horror Game

The house of Final Fantasy recently registered the domains BloodMasque.com and BloodMasque.net for what sounds like it could be a new horror or possibly vampire themed IP. The rumor’s been abuzz with speculation and so far Square Enix has been mum on the situation, leaving us to imagine the greatest of possibilities. I’d personally like to see a really good vampire game, because we don’t have enough of those. Really, I’ll be happy so long as it has nothing to do with zombies. What about you, what do you think this could be?

This Cryptic Teaser Could Hint At An Announcement Of The Next PlayStation Next Month

Games

Category: Games / News

I didn’t think Sony was in a great position to release a new console this year, but it looks like I could be wrong. PlayStation Blog’s social media manager Sid Shuman posted a teaser video earlier today that could very well hint at an official unveiling of the next PlayStation on February 20th. There are no indications of it being software related, as the trailer basically consists of stylish close-ups of shiny versions of the symbols found on the DualShock controller, so this is almost definitely about hardware. Both Microsoft and Sony have undoubtedly been hard at work on the successors to the Xbox 360 and PS3, both of which could release later this year. Check out the teaser after the jump.

Rumors are floating around the big ole’ interwebz. Those rumors? That Bethesda might be looking into making a Fallout tv show. How kick ass would that be? It doesn’t even sound like it would be super hard to make either. You could probably just film it out in the stix and pretend it’s a post apocalyptic wasteland. So, according to EuroGamer Bethesda has a patent with the US patent and trademark office for and I quote, “an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world.” Oh my god please let this be true. Gimmie what I want! What do you guys think, exciting?

Listing On Animator’s Resume Could Point To A ‘Dead Rising 3′ Reveal, Possibly From New Studio

Games
Posted by Adam Dodd on January 11, 2013 @ 2:13pm
Category: Games / News

This is exciting. Or could be, if it ends up being true. Animator Jeremie Passerin recently listed Dead Space 3 – Game Cinematic among the projects he’s worked on at Blur Studios. This could mean there’s a trailer on the way for the game, or it could be a mistake (though I’m going to hope it’s the former). Dead Rising 3 has been alarmingly silent for some time now, but zombies are bigger than ever now so I don’t see why Capcom wouldn’t want to officially unveil another game in the wacky franchise. What makes this even more exciting is Blur is the studio behind some of the most memorable video game trailers of all time, including Batman: Arkham City, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, BioShock 2, and many more.

In related news, Capcom Vancouver — the studio that developed Dead Rising 2, Case Zero, and Case West — is hiring for a brand new game they’re saying won’t have zombies in it. This could mean a new developer has picked up the reigns for the third game, assuming it’s in development.

Details On Next Xbox Coming In Penultimate Issue Of Xbox World

Category: Games / News

UK gaming magazine Xbox World may soon be going into that good night (alongside Nintendo Power, PlayStation: The Official Magazine, and PSM3), but with news like this, it seems they’re making sure they go out with a bang.Their second to last issue is a doozie, and will reportedly unveil tons of information on Microsoft’s highly anticipated follow-up to the Xbox 360. For starters, it won’t have the Xbox 720 moniker and will instead be known only as the Xbox. That seems a little strange, seeing as there’s already been an Xbox, but none of this has been, or will likely ever be confirmed by Microsoft. The specs are really exciting though — it will come with a quad-core CPU, built-in Blu-ray player, 8GB RAM, and support for a head-mounted augmented reality device (possibly the Oculus Rift, unless Microsoft has their own in development) as well as the next generation Kinect. More after the jump, including some mock-ups of what the console could look like.

We’ll Have To Wait Until After ‘A Machine For Pigs’ Releases To Hear More About Frictional’s Next Horror Project

Games
Posted by Adam Dodd on October 22, 2012 @ 10:00am
Category: Games / News

For the most part, Frictional Games is still mum on any details regarding their next horror project, which may or may not take their aptitude for crafting intensely terrifying experiences to the deep blackness of space. They’re remaining hush hush so as not to take the focus away from their collaborative effort with thechineseroom on the highly anticipated follow-up to Amnesia: The Dark Descent. A Machine for Pigs doesn’t release until early next year, so we have a while left to wait for any real details. Speaking with Now Gamer, Frictional’s Thomas Grip said He also said the studio’s next project will be “first person horror, that will take things deeper than what Amnesia did and have a more consistent theme.” He also said “It will not be totally different from Amnesia/Penumbra, but I think it is a quite big evolutionary leap and we try a few things we have not really touched upon before.” Sounds exciting.

What would you like to see next from Frictional Games, and do you like the idea of their potentially moving into Dead Space territory?

A ‘BioShock’ Ultimate Rapture Edition Could Be On The Way

If a recent rating from the British Board of Film Classification is anything to go by, there’s a chance we could soon be getting a new BioShock bundle that will include BioShock 1 and 2 as well as all their DLC. The bundle received an 18 rating, which makes sense. With BioShock: Infinite pushed into next year this might be just the thing to keep us busy while we all patiently wait with twiddling thumbs for that signature blend of guns, plasmids, and incredible storytelling that only BioShock can deliver. I’ve been itching to get wet with a Big Daddy and this could cost me significantly less than my original plan. How about you, is this something you’d be interested in or would you rather wait for Infinite in February?

I thought for sure Thief 4 would be announced at E3 last week, so imagine my surprise when the expo came and went without even the slightest of nods toward a game I am so anxiously looking forward to. We know it’s been in development for four years now and has had multiple resumes and various LinkedIn profiles hint at it, but still no word. Now we can add a little extra fuel to that fire with a demo reel from lighting and compositing artist Eric Wong that has 30 glorious seconds of steamy thief-in-the-shadows action.

So when you’re “a little coy” with the rumored collaboration, as Valve’s Chet Faliszek put it, you’re ruining lives. Speaking with PCGamesN, Faliszek said “We’re trying to be a little coy and a little fun because we want the communities to discover it.” Head past the break for more on this collaboration.

E3 2012: Payday Dev Working On ‘Left 4 Dead’ Prequel

Last month Payday: The Heist developer Overkill Entertainment revealed they are currently hard at work on a collaborative effort with Valve that’s a “very cool blend of Payday and Left 4 Dead.” Not much else about the game was announced at the time, but according to a source at CVG this game could be a prequel to Left 4 Dead. “We are working on a very cool blend of Payday and Left 4 Dead. I am sure it is so exciting that it will have some players check into the hospital before we are done.” said a statement from Overkill regarding the announcement. Could this mean we’ll finally find out how the outbreak began? So far, the Left 4 Dead series has been largely void of a real plot, so some details regarding the cause of the zombie apocalypse in a prequel sounds good to me. What do you think?

Remedy Creative Director Tweets A Link To A Blog That Could Be Related To ‘Alan Wake 2′

For a year the possibility of a true sequel to Alan Wake has been hanging over us like a cloud–a cloud you want to jump up and grab so you can drag it back down to earth and rub your face all over it, maybe see if it’s up for some naked spooning, you tell it you don’t even mind if it’s the big spoon, because you love it that much. A few days ago Remedy creative director Sam Lake tweeted a link to a blog by a writer named Samantha. Seemed innocent enough at the time, that is, until Samantha’s writings started coming off a little cray cray. It sounds like she bought Alan’s lake house and upon finding some of his writings started having nightmares. Her most recent post from earlier today took the creep factor to a whole new level, saying Called 911. Men outside shadows darkcominghelpmoreligh. Men in the shadows? Dark coming? More light? Anyone else getting strong Alan Wake vibes from this? I’m predicting an Alan Wake 2 reveal coming soon. Come on Remedy, give it to me, I’m ready for it.

We’ve been drip fed bits of story and setting details for the all-but-confirmed Dead Space 3, which is very likely to be revealed at E3 next week, and the newest bit is this icy new logo that was leaked online earlier today. It’s been rumored the game will take place on Tau Volantis, a planet with whiteout blizzards, that should make for an interesting change of scenery. I’m expecting something along the lines of The Thing, only with strategic dismemberment. Head past the break for the first screenshot from what could very well end up being the second sexiest adventure I’ve had in the snow. READ MORE

Deep Silver Is Considering Its Options For Dead Island 2

Category: Games / News

Earlier this week a rumor surfaced that Deep Silver was planning on handing over development of the all but confirmed Dead Island 2 to a new studio. The first game was developed by Techland, and while they certainly did an admirable job, Dead Island didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by its fantastic debut trailer. The game still sold remarkably well, shipping over 3 million units so far, but much of that undoubtedly came from all the buzz that trailer received. With Dead Island 2, Deep Silver could be taking the same approach Konami and Capcom use with their Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises respectively, by giving the game to another studio.

A Third Resident Evil Could Be Coming To The 3DS

We’ve had two Resident Evil games come to the 3DS already and if this rumor is true we could soon be getting a third. According to a recent report from Digital Spy, which has since been taken down, Capcom has another project in the works called Resident Evil: Degeneration-Damnation-Downfall. That’s quite a mouthful. The reasoning behind the long-winded and totally not official title is it’s supposedly a bundle that will include the animated film Resident Evil: Degeneration, its upcoming sequel Damnation and a brand new game titled Resident Evil: Downfall. Apparently, Downfall will take place between the events in Resident Evil 5 and 6 and star Claire Redfield as she “witnesses the downfall of humanity.” If this is anything like the fantastic Revelations then Capcom has my full support. Anyone else interested in more 3D Resident Evil?

How Does A $99 Xbox 360 With A Two-Year Contract Sound?

Games
Posted by Adam Dodd on May 02, 2012 @ 2:58pm
Category: Games / News

According to The Verge, Microsoft could be launching a $99 Xbox 360 bundle that will require a two-year $15 monthly subscription. The bundle includes a 4GB console, a Kinect sensor, an Xbox Live Gold plan, and it could become available at official Microsoft stores (no word on its availability at other retailers yet) as early as next week. According to the report, Microsoft is using this as a competitor to similar services like the Apple TV and Roku. This doesn’t sound like a bad idea if you’re looking for a cheaper way to play games or watch movies and TV shows online. The only downside is should you cancel your plan there will be a termination fee that those who purchase the console and subscription separately don’t have to worry about. So how does this sound to you? Do you like the idea of paying less up front with a required monthly fee, or would you rather purchase it all separately and have the option to cancel your plan without any repercussions? READ MORE

Visceral Game Designer CV Outs Dead Space 3 And Army of Two 3

Come on EA, we know it’s coming, just announce it already. It’s been listed by game retailers, you’ve been hiring people to work on it, we know what engine it could be using, and we even know about Isaac’s growing insanity and its icy setting on a mysterious new planet called Tau Volantis. At this point Dead Space 3 is no secret, but just in case you’re still a little skeptical, a CV for a game designer at Visceral Games has just added a little more fuel to the fire. Also listed is Army of Two 3–hopefully not the final title, but even if it were it’d still be better than Army of Two: The 40th Day. It’s looking more and more likely that we’ll be seeing an official reveal at E3 in June. Now if they can get it out this year I think that’d make 2012 the best year ever for horror fans.

It seems South African-based BT Games knows something we don’t, as the retailer has begun accepting pre-orders for the still-unannounced Dead Space 3. EA hasn’t officially announced the game, though with the critical and commercial success of the last one, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear about it soon. There’s been no shortage of rumors about the game over the last couple months, including a possible snowy setting, that it could possibly use the Frostbite engine Battlefield 3 used, and that Isaac Clarke’s split personality disorder. In the past, BT Games has revealed Jak and Daxter HD and Mass Effect 3′s multiplayer, so it’s entirely possible that Dead Space 3′s announcement is very close.
