Capcom have committed at least two titles for the Nintendo 3DS. The handheld won’t be released for some time (many speculate December for Japan and early 2011 for the rest of the world), but that did not deter them from releasing some awesome trailers.

This Resident Evil: Revelations trailer looks like it’s running in-engine which is very impressive to say the least. Yes, it’s just character models on screen, but it resembles the Resident Evil 5 models so much that it’s hard not to be impressed.

If you look at yesterday’s Checkpoint post, it featured Deus Ex: Human Revolution as the banner image. And yet I didn’t mention it in my five highlights. Why? It’s because I couldn’t find any gameplay demonstration of the damn game.

Square-Enix and Eidos were being all secretive with their closed theatre demonstrations. Thankfully, ScrewAttack’s sneakiness brought us this 20 minute gameplay demonstration video.

You may need some codecs and alternate video players for this to work, but I assure you: it’s worth the trouble. I’ve never played a Deus Ex game before, but if it’s anything like demonstration video, I think I’ll have to.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is scheduled for release in 2011 for Xbox 360, PC and PS3.

Highlights

• Valve aims for Portal 2 PC/PS3 cross platform co-op/multiplayer (via The Kartel)
• 80% of the car models in Gran Turismo 5 are not “Premium” models (via NeoGAF & GT5 official site)
