E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Need for Speed Most Wanted On-Stage Demonstration & Trailer
Easily one of the highlights of the EA press conference was the unveiling of the Criterion developed Need for Speed: Most Wanted (not a Most Wanted 2 then? EA must have a low opinion of the original it seems) title, a game which came across a lot more strongly as a spiritual successor to Burnout: Paradise than a bonfide succeeding entry in the Need for Speed franchise that we all know and sometimes love.
Take a peek at the crisp visuals, hellishly fast racing action and open-world shenanigans yourself at the embed below:
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is due to arrive this October on 360, PS3 & PC platforms.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Crysis 3 Gets Demonstrated & Trailered
Another game that was practically guaranteed to make the cut for the EA E3 presser was Crysis 3.
To that end, Crytek showed off an extended gameplay sequence and a single-player trailer to top off their segment. Amusingly, the Crytek chap spoke at length about the great sandbox FPS experience that Crysis 3 was to become. Um, sandbox? Really? It looked just as linear as the last one which was about as far away from being a sandbox FPS as you possibly could be without calling yourself Call of Duty.
Videos for both the gameplay demonstration and the trailer can be seen below.
Give em’ a gander:
I will post up a better version of the gameplay demo as soon as one becomes available. Thanks for understanding.
Crysis 3 is due to be released on 360, PS3 and PC in February, 2013.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Medal of Honor Warfighter On-stage Demonstration And MP Trailer
A predictable key component of EA’s press conference was always going to be Medal of Honor: Warfighter and EA did not disappoint.
Showing us an on-screen demonstration of an extended single-player sequence, as well as a multiplayer trailer, fans of the franchise and well, shooty things in general, ended up being pretty well serviced.
Take a look at the on-stage demonstration and the multiplayer trailer in the embeds below. Oh and if you don’t like Linkin Park, you might want to turn the volume down a jot on the multiplayer trailer; it gets ear-violating loud at points:
Medal of Honor: Warfighter is due to arrive on 360, PS3 and PC platforms on October 26th, 2012.
E3 2012 – EA Press Conference: Dead Space 3 On-Stage Demonstration
What a way to kick off your conference; EA showed off a co-op on-stage demonstration of Dead Space 3.
To say it looked incredible, would be some sort of disgusting understatement. Those lighting effects are going to cause my 360 to have a stroke I reckon.
Take a look for yourself:
Dead Space 3 is due to arrive on 360, PS3 and PC platforms in February, 2013.
E3 2012 – Microsoft Press Conference: South Park: The Stick of Truth Gets Trailered
“Jews can’t be saviours, remember?”.
That line couldn’t really be uttered in any other game except for a South Park game. Well, any game that wanted to be sold legally anyhow.
And so it is that South Park: The Stick of Truth got it’s first proper trailer during Microsoft’s E3 2012 conference which really displays just how Obsidian have managed to nail the ‘crappy’ aesthetic from the show. A point of some pride it seemed as South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were on-stage telling the crowd just how much effort went into making the game look as accurately shit as it does.
I think it looks chuffing brilliant personally.
You can observe the trailer for the game below:
South Park: The Stick of Truth is due to arrive on 360, PC and PS3 platforms in early 2013.
E3 2012 – Microsoft Press Conference: Tomb Raider On-stage Demonstration
Another glimmer of gaming bliss at the Microsoft presser (there weren’t that many, so really, you take whatever you can get), was the on-stage demonstration of the forthcoming Tomb Raider reboot.
The biggest surprise of all actually turned out to be the combat system, which despite all of the cinematic QTE bollocks going on around it, appeared solid and satisfying. An interesting little tidbit was that the first lot of DLC will be exclusive to the 360 version. Marvelous I guess.
Take a look at the trailer below:
Tomb Raider is due to be released on 360, PS3 and PC on March 5th, 2013.
Pre-E3 2012: EA reveals then pulls, Battlefield Premium trailer. Good thing we have it here then eh?
In a little boo-boo that’s quite likely to send somebody to the back of the unemployment queue, feasting on a spectacular diet of Transform-A-Snacks and White Lightning, someone at E3 accidentally published the Battlefield Premium trailer a few hours ago. Obviously, somebody who actually liked their job at EA has since taken it off the internet, preventing the mass-prying eyes from looking at it prematurely.
Well good job we have it here then eh?
The trailer shows off the primary perks of the Battlefield Premium package which include:
- Access to all five Battlefield 3 expansion packs
- Two-week early access to every pack from this month’s ‘Close Quarters’ pack onward
- Access to twenty new guns
- Access to ten brand new vehicles
- Additional dog tags and customisables
Best of all, the server says that Battlefield: Premium is out now; though obviously that is complete bollocks – unless of course somebody else at EA has a OCD for signing unemployment cheques.
The trailer can be seen below:
Battlefield: Premium is expected to launch late tonight for around 4000 MSP/£39.99.
Pre-E3 2012: Bethesda releases a trailer for Skyrim vampire focused DLC expansion ‘Dawnguard’.
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
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.
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
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.
