Pre-E3 2012: Stainless Games confirms Carmageddon re-release for iOS & Android

with one comment

After successfully meeting their Kickstarter funding target for a new Carmageddon title, developer Stainless Games has today confirmed that the original videogame motor-slaughter nasty will arrive sometime late this summer on iOS and Android mobile platforms.

Better yet – the game will be free to all and sundry for 24 hours to celebrate the Kickstarter meeting it’s funding target.

What lovely chaps they are.

The debut trailer for the mobile re-release can be seen below (that generic metal bollocks can die in a corner though):

Pre-E3 2012: Zone of the Enders HD Collection comes out of hiding with a new trailer – reminds the world it’s the dog’s clangers

with one comment

Konami has gone live with a trailer for the quiet-up-until-now Zone of the Enders HD Collection.

The gameplay footage, which can be seen below, is taken from Zone of The Enders 2 and has commentary on it from Hideo Kojima; waxing lyrical on the HD remastering process.

In addition to all of that loveliness, Konami have also released the new, remastered in anime style introduction for the first Zone of the Enders HD title.

Have a gander:

Zone of the Enders HD Collection is due out this Autumn on 360 & PS3 platforms and each copy comes packaged with a demo for Metal Gear Rising Revengeance.

Pre-E3 2012: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance confirmed for early 2013 release; has new, totally batshit trailer with added Depeche Mode

with one comment

The announcement of Lords of shadow sequel wasn’t the only pant-wetting thing to come out of Konami’s pre-E3 unveiling this morning.  A brand new, completely off it’s cyborg tits trailer for the Platinum Games developed Metal Gear Rising Revengeance also hit the interwebs today; depicting lots of hyper-kinectic violence with people being chopped in half from behind a stone pillar and a helicopter being turned into mid-air mechanical sushi being just two examples of the supercharged wackiness on offer.

Cast your eyes over the Depeche Mode backed insanity below:

A demo of the game will be included in the forthcoming Zone of the Enders HD collection; mirroring the strategy of nearly twelve years ago when Konami stuck a demo of Metal Geat Solid 2 in with copies of the original Zone of the Enders.

Oh and ‘Revengeance’ is still a shit word.  And not really a word.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance is due to arrive on PS3 and 360 platforms early in 2013.

Pre E3-2012: Tomb Raider gets a date – 5th March 2013 and a brand new trailer showing (what else) Lara in danger

with one comment

Publisher Square-Enix has today confirmed that the second reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise will make it’s highly anticipated bow on March 5th, 2013 for 360, PS3 & PC.

Additional weight to this confirmation comes from the end of a newly released trailer – depicting Lara in full survival mode; hunting for food before being captured and tortured by some unsavoury types.

The trailer can be seen below and looks pretty fucking amazing quite frankly; I just hope that the game doesn’t rely too much on scripted events.

Take a look:

Tomb Raider is due to arrive on 360, PS3 & PC platforms on March 5th, 2013.

with 2 comments

Konami have today turned rumour into stark reality with the confirmation that a sequel to 2010’s Castlevana Lords of Shadow is on the way and will arrive sometime in 2013.

While the trailer below shows no gameplay from the Mercury Steam developed product, it does set the scene with some pretty swish CG and a mysterious character at the end.

Have a look for yourself and see what you think:

Castlevania Lords of Shdaow 2 is due out on PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in 2013.
