Trailers & Teasers

Resistance 3 Teaser

(more…)

But they didn’t call it BioShock 3. They’re calling it BioShock Infinite and it will be out in 2012 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. There’s no in-game footage for public consumption yet, but there is a pretty CG teaser.

At first glance it looks like BioShock in the sky. According to previews and interviews, it will feature an A.I. partner named Elizabeth whom you’re trying to rescue from this floating city of Columbia.

I can’t say I’m excited yet, because there’s nothing to get excited about. There’s a new BioShock game coming out and it’s coming out in 2012 — that’s a long way’s away.

The marketing ramp up for Black Ops begins with a multiplayer teaser.

Looks very familiar, but there are subtle differences like a cleaner looking interface, new kill streaks, smiley face reticles etc. But, the big reveal is the inclusion of saved replays.

I’ll quote my NeoGAF post:

Kudos to Treyarch for bringing the community features to the franchise. I don’t understand why IW never did any of these things. WaW brought online stat tracking and now they’re bringing replays.

So if we continue this pattern: MW3 will have none of these and the next Treyarch production will have their “Forge” mode?

I’m actually looking forward to the September 1 multiplayer reveal. It’ll be interesting to see what they’ve tweaked.

…and lots of CGI.

No gameplay footage in this, but it does convey the idea of “brutal melee” attacks — One of many new features in Killzone 3.

I’m sure we’ll see gameplay footage at E3 2010.

Everyone knew it was bound to happen.

No in-game footage, just this teaser. I can’t wait to see more of this!

Interestingly, the game will be powered by an “advanced version” of MT Framework (Resident Evil 5 & Lost Planet 2) and not the engines that powered Street Fighter IV or Tatsunoko vs Capcom. The roster will also be scaled down to just over 30 characters due to “time constraints”.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is slated for a Spring 2011 release on the PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360.

It’s quite the Thursday! Two teasers were released today including the return of Fallout and the return of 2-D Sonic.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Teaser

Coming Summer 2010 for Xbox Live! Arcade, PlayStation Network and WiiWare

I don’t know why Electronic Arts is so insistent that they need a “Modern Warfare” game with the Medal of Honor title. They already have one with the Battlefield series.

This new Medal of Honor (sans subtitle) will be “the most authentic modern war experience” yet according to EA. The single player campaign will be handled by EA Los Angeles and DICE working their magic with multiplayer component. They’re planning to release this for Fall 2010 with more info to be unveiled at the 2009 Spike VGAs.

In the meantime, they’ve released this teaser of a guy with an epic beard. Santa?

Again, let me reiterate that EA/DICE will have at least two modern warfare themed shooters in 2010: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and now Medal of Honor. And if Battlefield 3 launches in 2010 as well; that’s a whole lot of modern warfare from one publisher.
