War never changes. Nor do taglines.
Here’s the first teaser for Fallout: New Vegas, straight from Bethesda’s servers to your Pipboy 3000 (or equivalent). Not much to deduce from this, other than that fascist headgear and 50s crooning are still in vogue.
It’s out in the fall.
Also shows off tats, car-tyre armor, face paint, binbags.
So apparently we’re not cool enough to receive one of Bethesda’s lovely-looking Brink goodie parcels, mailed out to certain lucky journos this morning. The package includes a couple of tasty concept art posters and brand new character customisation footage in USB credit card form.
Oh well, turn the other cheek. Here’s the footage spoken of, ripped from the sycophantic frontpage of those brown-nosing bastards at VG247. Try not to trip over your popularity ratings, Pat.
Edit: check with me next time, eh Ed? They DID send us the promotional tat in question – and rather nice it was too… (-Adam)
Warning, may cause trouser explosions.
We knew Bayonetta was a fine figure of a woman, but quite how fine we had no idea. Lower the blinds, turn up your speakers and let your jaw swing merrily in the breeze.
Multiple tank-deaths and suspiciously few respawns.
My word, this Bad Company 2 job looks rather tasty, doesn’t it? I’ll take slow movement and turning speeds over Quake-style twitch-fragging any day.
Here’s a carefully staged gameplay excerpt from a CTF match on the Panama Canal map. Joystiq’s cynical analysis is worth reading.
Running and gunning, mostly, plus the odd dose of biotic abracadabra.
Just in case you’d forgotten Mass Effect 2 was out at the end of this month, Gamespot’s sprouted another trailer. In it, people take a trip to the ceiling on spurts of mental energy, then get their arses handed to them.
It’s mainly on the plain.
Somebody’s snuck a new Heavy Rain trailer out of Japan. To our eyes (and we’ve played through a preview build, you know) it seems to be mostly already-known stuff with a sprinkling of fresh.
The old material includes Madison Paige’s striptease for the club boss, Scott Shelby interviewing a lady of negotiable affection, Ethan Mars bonding with/losing track of his son Sean and Norman Jayden picking over a watery murder scene.
As for the new bits – click play. CVG has forecast a downpour on 26th February.
Form into pairs and follow our lead.
Army of Two was a wee bit average. The sequel’s looking rather better. Here’s some multiplayer-flavoured evidence to that effect. Game’s out at the end of the week.
Who’s this Leonard Nimoy fellah then?
Star Trek’s officially “back”. Last year’s film remake was fantastic, despite Simon Pegg’s best efforts as Scotty, and this year’s trip to MMO-land is looking sexier than a brig-full of Seven of Nines. Having Spock in the VO studio probably helps. That man could sweet-talk a Jem’Hadar officer. After a good dose of Ketracel White, of course.
Excuse me whilst I go brood over my Federation tech manuals. The game’s out in early February.
Leaked footage suggests as much.
Either somebody’s telling dirty fibs, or this is a clip of Valve’s Half-Life 2 being played with Microsoft’s Project Natal motion-sensing doodad. The quality’s piss-poor, but you can see a chap waving his arms at what looks suspiciously like the lab at Black Mesa East.
Here’s the salt shaker. Season to taste.
“You picked a hell of a day to join up.”
Among the big numbers at Spike TV’s Video Game Awards last night was the first Halo: Reach trailer. It’s silly, gritty and melancholy all at once. Classic Halo, in short.
That skull-face helmet is very Army of Two, don’t you think?
The game’s out in 2010.
