I rather liked the pitch and artwork from NeverDead. We had a hero who could not die. A world living under threat of a demonic plague. We had action and angst in equal measure. I’m not sure about the teaser videos they’ve released though. The game looks too chaotic for my tastes. First up is […]
Wastelander Panda
This video is all about the last panda coping in an a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It’s more Kung Fu Panda than a wildlife show, though, as the teaser below makes all too clear. This is a proof of concept for a TV show. That’s right; this might actually make it off the internet and onto broadcast […]
Pretty Cure New Stage movie trailer
There’s no shortage of Pretty Cure movies. Wikipedia counts 9 TV to movie creations and 4 All Star movies. Not bad for the Toei Animation which first aired in 2004.
Last chance to win Tera beta pass
This is a teaser video from the TERA MMO RPG. What strikes me straight away is the quality of the graphics. MMOs tend to be much simplier than local games simply because they need to be. MMOs have to cope with much larger worlds and the processing demands of thousands of simultaneous players. TERA is […]
Wrath of the Titans trailer
Wrath of the Titans is the surprising sequel to the disappointing Clash of the Titans remake. Once again we have Sam Worthington as Perseus and Liam Neeson as Zeus along with Ralph Fiennes as Hades, Bill Nighy as Hephaestus, Danny Huston as Poseidon, Edgar Ramirez as Ares and Rosamund Pike as Andromeda. Plot? Does it […]
Game of Thrones: Winter trailer
We’ve had teasers for Atlus’s forthcoming Game of Thrones computer RPG already – such as The Wall. This latest video from the studio is longer and is rather more of a trailer than a teaser. It’s simply called “Winter”. The trailer introduces the game, planting the action firmly in the drama we already know and […]
How politics works in the TERA MMORPG
I’m a big fan of politics in RPGs. In some settings it’s the politics that make the game for me. Back with the other internet dinosaurs and when I had time I used to play a lot on MUSHes. This wasn’t because I was writer. As you can tell – I’m not. This was because […]
The Hobbit trailer is here
It’s here. The Hobbit! Well. Okay. The Hobbit movie isn’t here… but we do now have The Hobbit trailer. What do you think? At a glance I think the movie looks to have captured the differences in feel between The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. The first book was always a little more […]
I Am Alive: Follow the rules and you might survive too
What will Ubisoft do after Assassin’s Creed. A glance at I Am Alive suggests the answer might rest in the post-apocalyptic future. After all – we can see building climbing will be important in the game. Mind you; Ubisoft’s YouTube page describes the game as “downloadable” and the cover says Arcade. It’s hard to imagine […]
Jack the Giant Killer trailer
Jack the Giant Killer trailer looks impressive. This is a story of an ancient war; one between our world and one of horrible giants. Jack, a farmhand, gets caught in the middle – though I sense he’s not entirely without blame on that front. The cast will include the likes of Nicholas Hoult, Ian McShane, […]
