Parasite Eve Third Birthday Semi-confirmed

Shiva Stella — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:20:44 -0500

Remember Parasite Eve, the "cinematic RPG" from the bygone days of PlayStation? Remember the Japanese-onry PE cell-phone games that we didn't get?

Now you can stop being ridiculously angry. Take a peek at the video below.

Just in case you missed it, that's a leaked trailer for Parasite Eve 3, tentatively titled PE: Third Birthday, in the works at Square Enix and HexaDrive. As of now the word is that it's being labeled as a "cinematic action RPG", putting it in line with PE2's Resident Evil-like gameplay, with a slew of heavily customizable weapons and (one can only assume) lots of gross monsters.

And did I mention that it's a PSP exclusive...?

Ryan Fulton — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:03:01 -0500

Gametrailers.com has recently uploaded the Tokyo Games Show trailer for Square Enix's The Last Remnant. The video makes the game look rather intriguing. So far, the overall story, graphics, and art direction all look pretty solid. Personally, I'm still waiting to see how the gameplay works out before purchasing this title, but it definately has my attention.

You can find the Japanese blog for the game here. Even if you're incapable of reading Japanese, you can look at pretty pictures or download the backgrounds available on the site.

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.

Call of Duty: World at War Trailer Appears

Zach Lott — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 14:27:52 -0500

The first trailer for Call of Duty 5, now known as Call of Duty: World at War, has arrived, and with it comes these dire questions: Will the series' return to the played-out setting of World War II hurt this game when Call of Duty 4's modern setting worked so well? Can developer Treyarch make up for Call of Duty 3 by capturing the spirit of Infinity Ward's titles? Maybe Activision's same-time-as-E3 conference can provide answers, but for now just keep an open mind and watch.

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

Aaron Dunlap — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:30:19 -0600

You can't blame Ubisoft for trying to raise some hype for their upcoming sequel to Rainbow Six Vegas, but geez.. a screenshot, pre-rendered "target video," something having to do with the actual game would be nice.

That is, unless my eyes are mistaking me and those are really CGI people getting CGI lapdances from CGI strippers. The cheezy cinematography and voice-overs could be CGI too.

Video after the jump.

Reader Nick Marinelli sent in this tip:

There's a flash of photos in the [Deus Ex 3] teaser that this guy looks through and comments on. Pretty interesting stuff.

He also analyzes the fetus in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD4xq7HpW-k

I watched that trailer at least 4 times and didn't even notice these images. I guess I need to upgrade my vision augs.

David Jaffe Keeps It Realz

Aaron Dunlap — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 13:36:24 -0600

At any media event where the press are allowed to interview game developers or executives (pretty much anybody but the booth babes) there will always be a marketing rep from his company standing right over his shoulder the whole time. This is a rule, and something we have to agree to, but it can get a bit tedious at times. It's like trying to talk to a girl at a bar when her parents and pastor are standing there making sure you stay on subject.

In the video below, someone from GameTrailers is interviewing David Jaffe, and Jaffe seems pretty annoyed by the Sony marketing rep standing there and by the very annoying line of questions.

The interviewer keeps trying to get Jaffe to "spill the beans" about God of War 3 when God of War 2 wont be on shelves for another 3 months. The game hasn't been approved for production yet, so it isn't as if David Jaffe is going to be able to say anything at all. All he wants to do is talk about God of War 2 (the game he just spent a year or so working on), and gaming journalists are trying to get the big scoop by having a developer talk about a game that hasn't been developed.

Jaffe handles it pretty well, considering. He dismisses the marketing bullshank being issued by his shoulder-perched marketing fairy and somewhere in there even acknowledges that his fighting system isn't as good as Devil May Cry (though I'd argue with anybody about that).

Imagine how much better things would be if gaming reporters weren't all trying to get some imaginary scoop and developers didn't have to be protected from that by marketing firewalls.
