Pre-E3 2012: Bethesda releases a trailer for Skyrim vampire focused DLC expansion ‘Dawnguard’.

with one comment

The best RPG of 2011 gets it’s first DLC expansion in Dawnguard, to be released this summer for 1600 MSP on the 360, with other versions and pricepoints to follow.

In Dawnguard, a vampire-themed expansion, you can either play as the titular Dawnguard themselves to root out the Vampire threat or you can join the brood yourself and inflict carnage and death upon those who would do you harm.

You can also engage in mounted combat, among other things if the trailer embedded below is any indication.

Enjoy:

Dawnguard will be released this Summer on Xbox 360 for 1,600 Microsoft Points.  Release details for the PS3 and PC versions are due to follow at E3.

Pre-E3 2012: Arkane Studios ‘Dishonoured’ gets more than three minutes of in-game footage via newest trailer

with one comment

Every year there is always one game that gets everybody excited, but tends to hover under the radar of all the mass-marketed AAA/sequel stuff that gets spread around.

Dishonoured, developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda, is one such game.  Equal parts Bioshock, Thief and Assassins’ Creed all wrapped up in a lucious steampunk veneer, Dishonoured looks to be a intriguing creature indeed with a unique setting and stealthily ultraviolent gameplay.

To see that i’m not just pulling platitudes out of my ass for no good reason, have a look for yourself:

Dishonoured is due to be released on 360, PC & PS3 platforms on October 12th, 2012.

It’s baaaack – Bethesda announces DOOM 3 BFG Edition for 360, PS3 & PC release this year

Not feeling moist looking at the sight of this logo? Check your pulse.

Following on from their rather bizzare and somewhat unwarranted decision to re-release Quake IV for the 360 and PC (well, it was a bit shit wasn’t it), comes the much more welcome idea that Bethesda are going to lump everything DOOM-like into one fragging huge package for re-release this year on 360, PS3 and PC platforms.

For your hard-earned cash you get DOOM, DOOM 2, DOOM 3, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil and the ‘Lost Mission’.  That’s a whole lot of traditional FPS love right there.

Those lovely chaps over at BethSoft have also confirmed that DOOM 3 and it’s expansion pack, Resurrection of Evil, will be remastered for the console platforms and will be playable in stereoscopic 3D.  BOOM.

The debut trailer for this collection of id Sofware’s genre defining franchise can be seen below.  Expect to hear more on this around E3.

DOOM 3: BFG Edition releases sometime this year for 360, PS3 and PC platforms.
