I’ve never really been a fan of flight sims let alone ones that try to be historically accurate, so by rights this trailer should leave me in a coma, but somehow it actually piqued my interest. Maybe it was the attention to detail, the epic scale of the thing or maybe it just reminded me how impressive it is that our species has got to a point where we can sit in flying metal boxes, upside-down, looping the loop while shooting tiny bits of metal at other men in flying metal boxes. Who knows.
The gates of hell. An asteroid belt. A few homages to old-school games. The super-talented track-making community busying themselves with RedLynx’s latest moto-physics hit have made all of this and more. This new Trials Evo trailer shows off some of the cleverest user-generated levels made with the Xbox 360 exclusive and, if you’re like me and haven’t fired up the game in a while, serves as a pretty good motivation to jump back in for more painful, pleasurable racing fun.
I’ve always found it curious that Medal of Honor Warfighter‘s title is singular. Well, OK, first I found it curious that anyone would name a game “Warfighter,” but – based on the numbers these things do.
I know Dead Space is a popular franchise that I need to cover, but I know less than nothing about it, and I don’t have any real desire to learn anything about it, so instead of making a bunch of incorrect generalizations about this lengthy look at Dead Space 3, I’m just going to post it for the people who care and shut the hell up.
That thing right there? I do believe it’s some form of Moroccan crab man, and its virtual existence forces me to face a very profound dilemma. See, I am immediately curious about every facet of its existence – context within the story, capabilities, linguistic background, favorite food, blood type, opinion on jazz music’s current place in society, what crabomancy actually entails, etc – but, on second thought, maybe I don’t want answers to any of those things.
Aha, I was a bit worried this might not see a PC release. Weird on both counts, given PC was originally its lead platform and, well,
it’s a pretty boring game so it’s strange that I’d care. Absent makes the heart grow less exasperated, I suppose. Yes, Doom 3 BFG, complete with new sections, improved levels, tuned controls, added checkpoints and sweet mother of God a mounted-flashlight, will be out on PC. When? MAYBE I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU.
Another quick Rezzed update for you – joining the increasingly mighty throng of games’n’devs attending the PC games show in Brighton, UK next Month are Unknown Worlds and their long-awaited multiplayer alien-vs-men epic Natural Selection 2. Hugh Jeremy from Unknown Worlds is going to do a stage demo of the Half-Life mod-gone-pro and audience Q&A at 5pm on Friday 6th July.
Today’s FPS games rarely last long on my hard drive, stuffed as it is with maps, dice and musty tomes of history retold. It’s more than a decade since my deathmatch days , which makes me feel indescribably ancient. It’s only fitting that it takes a Kickstarter project to rekindle my interest, as Kickstarter so often seems like fertile ground for old roots to sprout new shoots.
People loved Just Cause 2. With all the crazy grappling/parachuting/action-stunting in Avalanche Studios’ 2010 hit, why wouldn’t they? But Rico Rodriguez’ adventures didn’t have anything by way of online multiplayer, which would’ve made an already good game even better. Oh, well, JC2 lovers can dream of what might’ve been, right?
The first footage for Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs all but confirms that the machine in question is not a belly-tickling porcine laughter factory, so there’s my hopes of a My Little Piglet friendship simulator dashed to bits against a dank wall.
