Turbo The Movie First Trailer

The first trailer surrounding Turbo The Movie, a Jarrett Lee Conaway film.

Turbo The Movie: A Film By Jarrett Lee Conaway

Tim Grube — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:14:23 -0500

Jarrett Lee Conaway has made his rounds across the videogame and film industry. He previously worked here at Gaming Horizon Inc. as an Executive Editor back in the days of PSX Network when we were part of IGN.com Affiliation Network and now he is about to graduate at the University of Southern California. So what is this all about? Well, he has completed one of the best (I think so atleast) short film surrounding videogames ever to hit the "small" or even "big" screen.

Entitled, TURBO, is a high-adrenaline short film in the tradition of The Karate Kid and Tron. It tells the story of Hugo Park (Justin Chon, Twilight) a misspent youth whose only outlet for angst is a 4D fighting video game called Super Turbo Arena. When Pharaoh King (Jocko Sims, Crash the Series), the Michael Jordan of cybersports, announces a tournament to determine who will join his pro team, Hugo's sets his eyes on the prize. But Hugo isn't the only gamer who wants fame and glory.

If Hugo wants to win he's going to have to beat Shamus (David Lehre, Epic Movie), the all time Turbo champ at the local Pandemonium arcade, and Ruse Kapri, a feisty prep girl that knows how to win. Realizing he can't win on his skill alone, Hugo turns to his brother Tobias, a former kickboxer whose last match left him confined to a wheelchair. Together the two will mend old wounds and see if a washed up street fighter can teach a troubled teen how to become a virtual gladiator!

Also, there will be a public screening on May 2nd at the Norris Theatre (at the University of Southern California). at 3PM. First come first serve. Turbo will be sold afterwards, for $10 or less. The price has not yet been determined.

New Trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum; Looks Survial-Horrorish

Aaron Dunlap — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:43:34 -0600

Even though Warner Brothers handed the Batman license to Eidos almost 2 years ago, it seems that we're only now seeing the first fruits of that agreement.

Just released is a teaser trailer for Batman: Arkham Asylum. GameTrailers has the exclusive, which you can see below (or see it in HD).

My first reaction is that it may end up as a sort of Dead Space-like, or possibly more Bioshocky horror/exploration game. The trailer could be misleading to that effect, but I don't imagine a game about a mental institution for the criminally insane will be aimed at the 7-12 demo.

Valve Unleashes Left 4 Dead Intro

New Mega Man 9 Trailer And Info

Zach Lott — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:08:18 -0500

It's not quite time for E3, but Capcom has given IGN some fresh details about Mega Man 9 in addition to the game's first trailer.

Perhaps the most interesting announcement is that Mega Man 9 will be hitting XBLA and PSN in addition to Nintendo's WiiWare service. Capcom had previously declared the game to be a Wii exclusive, but the end of the new trailer prominently displays logos for Microsoft and Sony's respective services.

Details about the story have also been unveiled: Mega Man 9 is set after Mega Man 8. Some of Dr. Light's creations are involved in global riots, and Dr. Wily blames him for the occurrences on TV. It's up to Mega Man to clear Dr. Light's name.

IGN notes that the game looks and feels like a classic Mega Man title, with character designs straight from Keiji Inafune, creator of the franchise. There are also over 50 new enemies and bosses, and an online leaderboard will rank you against other players worldwide.

Finally, the first two NES Mega Man games are set to be released on the Virtual Console sometime in the near future.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer, which shows off a variety of levels.

E3 2008: Hell's Kitchen: The Video Game

Tim Grube — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 08:29:25 -0500

Ubisoft announced today that it will publish Hell's Kitchen: The Video Game, for Wii, Nintendo DS, PC and Mac this September. The game is currently being developed by Ludia and is said to allow players to experience the show's high-pressure kitchen and dining room challenges as a faithfully rendered 3D Chef Ramsay watches their every move.

"I had a great time doing the voice for my own animation, said Gordon Ramsay. "Being in a video game is a new experience for me and I'm very pleased with the results.

After executing the three phases of an order preparation, cooking and service Chef Gordon Ramsay will score each meal. As they progress through the game, players will be rewarded with access to recipes from Chef Ramsay's own repertoire.

"Hell's Kitchen has everything a great video game needs: pressure, excitement and intense competition, said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft North America. "We are very excited to be bringing the intensity of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and the Hell's Kitchen experience to the virtual world this fall.

50 Cent: Blood On The Sand Trailer Shows Up

Aaron Dunlap — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:04:38 -0500

Never one to support the rumor that rap stars are at all diluted as to their own self importance, 50 Cent is back for more gun-slinging and to engage in the cappin' of various mofo's. Folks, may I introduce: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

This time, for some reason, he's shooting up terrist types in the Middle East. Valuable combat strategies that can be gleaned from a quick viewing of this trailer include: always abandon cover and run toward the bullets, drop your weapon if you have an opportunity to engage in flashy hand-to-hand combat, and never worry about your own wake of destruction -- it'll only hurt everybody but you.

50 Cent: BOTS is looking at a Fall 2008 release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

GameBump is Hiring! Be part of the team!

Tim Grube — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:42:57 -0500

I promise the flames die down eventually...

GameBump is officially seeking to hire talented writers who are interested in working within the gaming journalism field, so if you've got mad writing skills, have a drive for seeking out the latest gaming news and reviews, and know your way around a console or two, you're just what this new, fresh site is looking for. It also helps if you can take a joke (see above).

Applicants need not have experience working on another site, but they must include some recent writing samples to prove they're not in the fifth grade. Accepted applicants will be put on probation until they find their niche, be it news, reviews, previews, editing, interviews, editorials, or various features. Previous experience within the industry is an obvious plus, but mostly we're interested in people with a passion for videogames who'd like to join this exclusive, innovative team.

GameBump is also searching for additional programmers and graphics designers to help lighten the load on the rest of us; simply include the position you're looking at in the subject line of the email and our very own programming or graphics specialists will talk with you about specific knowledge you should already have.

At current all positions are volunteer, but you get free games, the chance to attend events/trade shows under the GameBump name, work experience, contacts, published material, and some flashy text for your resume. Also, you get to hang out with me and/or Aaron Dunlap - that's an experience that can't be replicated in and of itself.

We look forward to hearing from some great and talented people.

Instructions:

Include your position in the subject line, either: staff writer, general contributor, programmer, editor, or graphics designer
In the body of your email, include: any prior writing experience, your favorite game (and why!), your owned hardware, your preferred company (if you have one), how you heard about GameBump, what you think you can bring to the table, and why you're just dying to work here.
Attached, please include: at least one-two writing samples; this can be anything, but don't let it be less than 500 words. We want to get a feel for your style more than anything. And no viruses, please.

Send your email to me here and I'll respond to let you know I received it. If I don't respond, send another copy to here. Good luck.

Atlus Confirms Persona 3 FES for North America, Plus Teaser Trailer

Shiva Stella — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:16:52 -0600

Here's some good news to start the afternoon off with if you're an Atlus fan, as the company has officially confirmed that its Persona 3 FES is indeed coming to North America and will include both the regular and bonus content for the very happy price of $29.99. For those of you only mildly familiar with the Persona games, they're the ones with demons.

Here's the email confirmation Atlus sent out to its "faithful" this morning:

Ok, we give up. The rumors were true.

Persona 3 FES is coming to North America!

Months of trying to keep FES a secret are now behind us (which means all of us here can reflect on just how futile an effort that was).

So what's the big deal about Persona 3 FES? "FES" is short for "Festival," and in Japan, FES was released as a reward for gamers who picked up the original. Not only does the new FES content enhance the original game, but the new FES component is actually a game in and of itself, accessible right from the get-go. We think of it as two games on one disc. It is the definitive Persona 3 experience.

We will be releasing the stand-alone version of FES. There was of course the option of just releasing the "Append" disc (which would have required ownership of the original game), but in the end, we didn't want you to have to own anything else to enjoy the experience.

We'll have a ton more updates going out for FES soon, telling you about the extra features, content, and modes for you to enjoy. Thanks for being patient. We're glad you stuck around.

Oh, and we decided to set the suggested retail for FES at $29.99, just for the heck of it. Thanks for continuing to support us, Atlus Faithful!

Look for the game on April 22 (take that, evil ebay prices!) You can check out the Persona 3 FES website here, if you're curious, and of course you can view the fresh teaser trailer below.

First Deadly Creatures (Wii) Trailer Live

Shiva Stella — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:12:38 -0600

The first trailer for THQ's Deadly Creatures on the Wii is available tonight and linked below for your viewing pleasure.

The game is being developed by Rainbow Studios, the team behind Motorcross Madness, Cars, and ATV Offroad Fury; for this reason I haven't gotten my hopes up, but I admit that I'm curious... monsters go oh-so-well with destruction.

New Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 'Limited Edition' Trailer

Shiva Stella — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:02:11 -0600

Here's an interesting Ubisoft trailer for the evening, this one for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The video is advertising the "limited edition" version; you can check out the list of features below to see if it's worth the extra $10. Check out the hot key chain.

Assassin's Creed DS Gameplay Footage: I Feel Asleep

Aaron Dunlap — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 12:52:41 -0600

Since its announcement, Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles has been kept pretty close to Ubisoft's maternal chest, odd for a game that could conceivably be such a big deal.

Well here's some gameplay footage. Do not watch while operating heavy machinery.

I guess the minigame shown near the end to pick pockets looks pretty interesting. It appears you scratch out the screen to reveal the contents, then have to drag the thing you want out of the pocket like a medieval game of Operation.

Faith and a .45 Teaser Contains .45 Seconds of Gameplay

Aaron Dunlap — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:56:23 -0600

I haven't been following Faith and a .45 very closely, because there's been no reason to, and this "teaser" doesn't really change things. If you like the Ken Burns effect as applied to concept artwork and split-second takes from gameplay with uncomfortable, forced camera angles you should love this.

Far Cry 2 Rumors Shot Down, No PS3 Exclusivity

Shiva Stella — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 15:00:11 -0600

Recent rumors sparked by Edge Magazine's report that Far Cry 2 will feature mutating foes, a mutating character (with mutant powers), and will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive have been shot down by the game's creative director, Clint Hocking, via this videoblog.

Hocking states that "there are no mutants of any kind in Far Cry 2 and we are releasing simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360!"

A New Army of Two Trailer Arrived Today, Killed Indiscriminately

Aaron Dunlap — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:37:07 -0600

There's been some questions as to the game's quality, to be sure, but there's certainly some potential here: Amy of Two (Army Harder?) is a co-op shooter where your burly buddy can either be controlled via a real-life friend or, for lack of one of those, by AI and prompted by voice commands issued by yourself via the Xbox Live headset.

A new trailer released today. It features a lot of shooting and jumping and such. It's embedded after the jump.

New Tiberium (C&C FPS) Trailer Is Pretty, Gameplay-less

Aaron Dunlap — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:23:43 -0600

Those paying attention to the upcoming FPS based on the Command & Conquer universe might like to check out this new trailer, released today. The video is entirely CGI, doesn't give us much new information about the plot, but looks pretty enough. There will come a point in the future where I'm not going to let these non-gameplay trailers slide by without a scolding, but that day hasn't arrived yet.

What is new, or new to me at least, is that the game will feature squad commanding, perhaps conquering too. I've seen squad-based FPSes done well and done poorly, and more often poorly, so here's hoping...

The video is embedded after the jump.

New Resistance 2 Interview Videos

Shiva Stella — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:09:13 -0600

Video footage of a recent interview of Ted Price and Colin Munson of Insomniac Games regarding Resistance 2 (dated for 2008), the sequel to the best (or second best, depending on your love for Call of Duty 4) shooter on the PlayStation 3, has hit the Web.

Hit the jump to view all three of them, but keep in mind that the quality level is a little low.

The game is said to feature:

A huge co-op component featuring eight player story-driven campaigns over PSN (two player local) alongside single-player campaigns.
Sixty player competitive modes with a focus on squad-versus-squad combat set in huge United States landscapes.
New enemies including Chameleon and Stalker with total cloaking ability
Multiplayer class system. Three basic templates - tank with heavy weaponry, special ops for distance (bullseye modified with zoom) and medic.
Online matching - standard difficulty discarded for scaled challenges for team skill.
Partially randomised geometry making levels different with each play through.
Insomniac have been listening to players complaints about the first game and are also further tapping the power of the PS3 to give more enemies onscreen and improved AI. They are also working on a solution to the long checkpoints and health system.

New Condemned 2: Bloodshot Trailer

Shiva Stella — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 13:42:48 -0600

Monolith has published a new trailer of its Condemned 2: Bloodshot, which you can think of as a harsher, grittier, meaner, and bloodier Condemned with a touch of an "I'm bad-ass because I do all the dirty work you can't handle" attitude that I'm not particularly fond of. Guess I'll just have to trust Monolith not to let me down with the sequel.

Condemned 2 releases for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 11. You'll be paying $60.

Sony's CES 2008 Presentation

Shiva Stella — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:36:55 -0600

If you haven't already seen it, here's the video of Sony's presentation given at CES 2008 as provided by Sony. It's 51 minutes long and includes content on (in order):

The Rolly (a dancing music player with 2GB flash memory)
PSP (at 8:00 minutes)
The Mylo 2 (now redesigned to look almost exactly like the PSP)
VAIO (a new Hi-Def "entertainment center" option that allows for recording in Blu-ray format)
Digital noise canceling headphones
The Sony Reader (which now supports Adobe PDFs unlike some new readers...)
GPS devices
Sony Ericsson (at 14:00 minutes covering Walkman phones, even a gaming version with "tilt controls")
Various Sony camera recorders and cameras along with wireless imaging transfer devices
Blu-ray, Blu-ray players, and Blu-ray drives (at 27:00 minutes; this gets interesting if you've been following recent developments)
New Bravia technology
Standard sales talk (at 38:00 minutes), recycling, McDonalds' hotspots for Mylo 2 (funny given yesterday's comment), and various other company alliances (Ford, CBS)
OLED televisions (at 47:00 minutes)

Sadly there was only limited talk of the PlayStation 3 (I think the PSP was mentioned more), but if you're into fancy gadgets it's a go. You can view it at the jump.

Videogames to Blame for Child Obesity?

Akshay Masand — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 17:12:55 -0600

Steve Easterbrook, the chief executive of McDonalds UK, has recently blamed videogames for child obesity. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Are videogames really to blame? It seems kind of silly and stupid of a company such as McDonalds, which makes its money stuffing the mouths of children (see above), to blame the gaming industry and counter-culture for unhealthy eating habits.

It must be the games that have been climbing the sales charts lately - I bet Call of Duty 4 is responsible for thousands of pounds gained over the holiday season, not those Christmas cookies.

Little Big Planet, Endless Possibilities

Shiva Stella — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:30:13 -0600

On-hand at the Sony booth for CES 2008 is an interesting demonstration of LittleBigPlanet for the PlayStation 3.

While it's entertaining and intriguing to watch the "level create" demo, what really caught our attention was the knowledge that players will not only be able to create their own levels but also share them online for other users to play through; it's also commented that a public beta is a possibility and that the game will make an appearance at this year's GDC.

Looks snazzy to me.

Yet another Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 comparison video has been posted over at Gametrailers, this time for Capcom's hotly anticipated Devil May Cry 4. You can view the video and some additional images at the jump; let us know if you spot any major differences, as both versions appeared strikingly similar to me.

That Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Is Out... A Decade Late

Aaron Dunlap — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 14:57:22 -0600

So you've been waiting ten years for Duke Nukem Forever (question: why?) and what have you got to show for it? This video, that's what.

The video features no actual gameplay, and basically confirms the following facts: Duke Nukem will be in it, so will aliens.

Personally, I don't see the point of being excited for a game from a company whose last product was made over a decade ago and after 10 years of working on one game has nothing to show for it but a rendered video that could be done by a college 3D graphics class in an afternoon. But hey, that's just me.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 "Trailer" Released, Graphics Look So Real!
