Konami Gamer's Night 2008: Whiptastic & Silent Hill-arrific
BLOG UNDER: (DS / DS Lite, Xbox 360, Action, Game Icons, PlayStation 3, Adventure)
by Mr Toffee on Friday, 16th May 2008 @ 02:52:05 PM
Not to be left out, Konami had their Gamer's Night last Wednesday to showcase more new stuff for the coming months. Apart from more Metal Gear Solid 4, we have:

Silent Hill: Homecoming Revealed-




Konami's take on the survival horror genre now gets a long-overdue next-gen sequel, slated for Xbox 360 and PS3 this September. Judging from the report here, the line for this game was apparently long. You play as Alex Shepard who returns to his home town of Shepard's Glen. He is on a search for his missing younger brother Josh, which will take him into the depths and mystery that is Silent Hill. You can now dodge and pull off power attacks that, when used, stuns an enemy. You can follow it up with a finishing move. Oh, and your health bar is on display in-game. Sounds like they seem to be straying away from the survival horror path and working its way into an action game (with horror elements) like Alone In The Dark 2 and Resident Evil 4 did. Nonetheless, it's just one part of the game, so until the final game comes out, Konami has yet to prove survival horror fans wrong. Click the jump for a short gameplay video.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 In Pre-Production
BLOG UNDER: (News, Action, Adventure, Art, Cultural Icons)
by Mr Toffee on Friday, 16th May 2008 @ 11:37:52 AM

It's been a while, Jade

As the slight chill in Hell became a full-blown artic squall blast, Michel Ancel, the man behind Rayman, is quoted in JeuxVideo Magazine that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is in preproduction and has been for about a year or so. About a dozen people are working on the project so far. Ancel also wishes to maintain continuity with the first game and dropped a few hints here and there on that statement: "Large variety of stages of play, lots of emotion in the gameplay, characters you can get attached to. This time, we're addressing the fate of the planet."

For those not in the know, Beyond Good & Evil is one of those games that was given much praise by the media but was criminally undersold. An adventure game that was just awesome to play, thanks to its intuitive controls, awesome OST, great lead and cast, and varying gameplay involving photography, stealth, bo-staff fighting, and spaceship flying, its flaws (specifically the pacing and the lacklustre ending) do not dent the overall experience in the slightest, as far as this writer goes. I can honestly say that if Ubisoft does not give this one the green light, I might be tempted to spray paint a possibly racist comment about ze French at the back of the Fusionopolis building.

Microsoft Spring Showcase 2008: Fresh With New Game-Related Announcements
BLOG UNDER: (Xbox 360, Microsoft)
by Mr Toffee on Friday, 16th May 2008 @ 11:18:49 AM
A few days ago in the yet-again cold land of San Francisco, Microsoft held a Spring Showcase 2008 talking about big news regarding content for their Xbox 360. Some may shock you, some may not, but regardless, we're just going to lay it all out here.

Banjo-Kazooie Sequel



Remember that Rare game where you had to collect a bunch of unrelated collectibles that opens up the OCD in most platforming enthusiasts? Oh wait, that's most of Rare's games circa 1990, so I have to be specific here. Remember Banjo Kazooie for the N64? Turns out Rare's been creating the sequel in secret in their humble abode in Europe. Now official, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will hit the end of the year and will feature 80% vehicle action in its platform-established gameplay. You can customize your vehicle via collecting contraptions throughout the world. Guess all that OCD-inducing gameplay had to be funneled to something productive somehow.

Click the jump for Fable 2, words from Itagaki, and Pinatas.

Two Good to be True
BLOG UNDER: (News, Xbox 360)
by asy on Thursday, 15th May 2008 @ 12:39:55 PM


From the PSone to the Gamecube and now finally the XBOX360, Too Human is finally going to happen, with a August 19 launch date in North America. Silicon Knights released news that the co-op play will be online, and it will only comprise of 2 players instead of the initially suggested 4. Too hectic with 4, so they claim. Guess the little brother or girlfriend can only watch from the couch as you wreak havoc with your buddy -- online. The trailer is rated Teens, so you kids better ask mummy first!

Before you think this is yet another MGS4 trailer, this one is actually going to be released in THEATRES! Yes, movie theatres, those places people go to watch MGS4 movies. Complete with deep sexy voiceover and JP onry subtitles. Watch, and weep.
