Screens and Details Leak from ‘Dark Souls 3’

Published

A batch of screenshots and some intriguing gameplay details have leaked from Dark Souls 3 about two weeks ahead of its official unveiling at E3.

The leak comes from a YouTube channel called The Know, which claims to have inside knowledge and our first look at the upcoming game. Bandai Namco has yet to confirm any of this, but in my opinion, this looks legit.

According to the video below, Dark Souls 3 will again support 1-4 players when it arrives on the PS4 and Xbox One in 2016. A PC release is “negotiable”, whatever that means. The game will also introduce bosses that can “heat up” and change to different forms and now players can sacrifice enemies to invade another player’s world.

Assuming all of the above is true, Dark Souls 3 is shaping up to be a worthy follow-up to the very good Dark Souls 2 (review). This series has only gotten better since it began with Demon’s Souls in 2009, so I can’t say that I’m too nervous about this one.

The real question is whether it’ll be as refreshing as Bloodborne (review) was, with its darker setting and streamlined take on the Dark Souls formula.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
