Fallout 4 Trailer Revealed

Posted on June 3, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

As expected when the countdown that Bethesda released reached zero this morning bombs didn’t fall from the skies. Instead we got the first trailer for the previously rumoured Fallout 4. 

Clocking in at over three minutes the trailer explores both post apocalyptic and pre-war Boston. Our guide through the various locations is the player characters trusty dog companion, a series staple.

Fallout 4 has been confirmed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game looks absolutely gorgeous and it is expected to be showcased as an on-stage demo during Bethesda’s E3 press conference next week.

There is no release window for Fallout 4 at this time.

Bethesda Releases Brief Doom Teaser Trailer

Posted on May 18, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Bethesda Game Studios in collaboration with id Software have released a very brief 15 second gameplay trailer to promote their upcoming Doom reboot. The trailer promises that we will get more information at Bethesda’s E3 Press conference on June 14th.

Gameplay for Doom was first shown to the public at last year’s QuakeCon but the publisher did not allow anyone to record what was shown. According to reports the game goes back to its early 90s FPS roots complete with strafing, jetpacks and of course the awesomely overpowered B.F.G 9000. Apparently the developers have also incorporated finishing moves into some enemy encounters. The player is able to eviscerate their opponent by ripping off their jaw, tearing out their heart and other gruesome fatalities.

No release date for Doom has been given but considering it is getting a large presence at Bethesda’s E3 press conference a late 2015 / early 2016release date isn’t out of the question. Doom will be available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

New FFXIV: Heavensward BenchmarkTrailer Gets Us Excited

Posted on April 24, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Square Enix has released the full trailer for the Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward benchmark which will be released to the community this coming Monday. It’s our first look at a lot of the new abilities available to existing classes, possibly some of the upcoming raid content among other hints of things to come. Needless to say FFXIV players will be picking this benchmark apart until the full expansion drops this coming June.

For the uninitiated FFXIV: Heavensward expands on the original Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn with entirely new zones set in the northern snowy planes of Coerthas, raising the maximum level cap to 60, introducing three new jobs (Machinist, Astrologain, Dark Knight) and the promise of new 4 player / 8 player dungeons and of course 24 player raids.

Get your PCs ready because it looks like FFXIV: Heavensward might take a bit of additional horse power.

Black Ops III “Embers” Teaser Asks How Far Can Technology Take Us?

Posted on April 23, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

With only 3 days left until the official reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops III Activision Publishing Inc has released a brand new three minute trailer for their upcoming title. Beginning with a montage of technological achievements from the last fifty years such as the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2000 and the rise of wearable computers this decade the trailer, titled “embers”, quickly heads down a very speculative path.

What would happen if organ replacements became an option for only the rich and famous? How would athletics handle the introduction of augmented humans into competitions? What would happen if the military were using augmentation technologies to build the perfect super soldier?

Honestly this trailer gives me some hope that Treyarch are ready to explore some of the societal questions they’ve raised in their pre-reveal campaign. In all honesty this three minute trailer raises questions about technological advancement a lot better than Square-Enix did with their three day long #CantStopProgress marketing event a few weeks ago for the new Deus Ex. It was also kind of amusing that Activision decided to use an Edward Snowden lookalike in their latest trailer as well.

The world reveal for Call of Duty: Black Ops III  is scheduled for this coming Sunday, April 26th!

The wait for new content for Activision’s Destiny is almost over with the announcement of a May 19th release date on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 for the next expansion The House of Wolves. Alongside the release date news the publisher also released a two minute long prologue trailer to get us all hyped up to defend the galaxy once again.

The wait for new content for Activision’s Destiny is almost over with the announcement of a May 19th release date on PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 for the next expansion The House of Wolves. Alongside the release date news the publisher also released a two minute long prologue trailer to get us all hyped up to defend the galaxy once again.

Data-miners have already begun combing the latest patches to Destiny to try and find out what content will be available to those who purchase House of Wolves. Expected content includes at least three new story missions, one new strike “The Shadow Thief” and three new crucible maps “The Time Keeper”, “Thieves Den” and “Widow’s Court”.

This trailer was released the same day (Monday) as news broke that House of Wolves will not feature a third high level raid. Bungie issued the following statement via their website:

House of Wolves will not have a Raid activity. We didn’t make this decision lightly. Our team has been humbled by the reception of Raids in Destiny and we are creating a new Raid for a release later this year. House of Wolves will have a new cooperative end game activity focused on variety, replayability, and skill – a new battle Arena called The Prison of Elders.

Unlisted Bravely Second: End Layer Trailer Found On SE YouTube Account

Posted on April 1, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

A brand new Japanese trailer for Bravely Second: End Layer has appeared on Square Enix Japan’s YouTube channel. Surprisingly the trailer is currently listed as a private video meaning that it is not currently indexed in the main YouTube gaming category. It is possible that the video was accidently uploaded prematurely so watch it in the embedded player before it gets taken down.

End Layer is the hotly anticipated sequel to last year’s surprise RPG hit Bravely Default for the Nintendo 3DS. Square has developed a few new systems to spice things up for players of the first game while keeping things familiar. Among these new developments is “consecutive chance” system which allows players to chain multiple encounters together with increasing difficulty for a chance at some really rare loot.

In terms of jobs End Layer will offer a whole host of awesome sounding jobs like Pirate, Ninja, Thief and some truly bizarre ones like the Catmaster.

It will be released in Japan on April 23rd.

New Trailer Shows Off FF-Type 0’s Combat Mechanics

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Straight from the world of Orience comes a brand new trailer for Final Fantasy Type-0 in the style of an in-universe news report. In this clip the announcer gives us the low down on the combat mechanics in this latest entry in the Final Fantasy series. 3 classmates fight alongside one another each of them possessing a special weapon. If one of your comrades dies in battle you are able to swap them out with one of your reserves classmates.

This action RPG looks absolutely fantastic – mixing combat system with a pretty neat elemental magic system this looks like a game that RPG fans will be playing for months. Final Fantasy Type-0 was originally released in 2011 for the PlayStation Portable in Japan. It was announced for the Xbox One and PS4 with upgraded visuals at last year’s E3 and will be available on Western shores on March 17th 2015.Read More

Explore Nearly Fifteen Minutes of Uncharted 4 Gameplay Footage

Posted on December 6, 2014 by Rae Michelle Richards

During Sony’s PlayStation Experience keynote presentation Naughty Dog showed off the first gameplay demo for Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End. In this demo we see Nathan Drake climb and sneak his way through a lush jungle island. There are quite a few awesome mechanics at play – I’m not sure if they are scripted or contextual but they still impress – like when Drake uses a rope to swing across a gap and knock out an enemy right before grabbing the guys gun while in mid swing.

We know this demonstration was played in real-time on Sony’s stage because at one point the person playing fell through the game world! If you can stomach a groaning one liner or sarcastic remark approximately every minute I highly recommend checking out this trailer.

A Thief’s End is still early in development. We don’t have a solid release date yet for this PlayStation 4 exclusive but I’m sure we will see more of Nathan Drake at next year’s E3.

Metal Gear Solid V: Online Features Mechs & Adorable Puppies!

Posted on December 6, 2014 by Rae Michelle Richards

Konami unveiled the first trailer for Metal Gear Solid V: Online last night during the Video Game Awards. This first glimpse at online componet of the Phantom Pain comes with the tagline – “Tactical Team Operations”.

In the trailer we see several glimpses of new gameplay mechanics such as one player taking on the role of Big Boss (similar to how MGS 4 online had game modes were one player played as Naked Snake) while other players battle it out. Other note worthy additions include an adorable puppy replacing the porn magazines and a mechanized single occupant walker that Snake uses to wreak havoc.

Make sure you watch until the end because there’s a pretty awesome cameo from a character we haven’t heard much about in terms of their inclusion in The Phantom Pain.  MGS V: The Phantom Pain is expected to be release sometime before the summer of 2015 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.Read More

Take A Trip To Gotham In This New Arkham Knight Gameplay Vid

Posted on November 25, 2014 by Rae Michelle Richards

Out of the shadows comes a brand new gameplay video for Batman: Arkham Knight from Warner Bros Interactive. This video gives you a great look at the game’s combat as well as how the Batmobile will be useable during missions! In part one of this three part walkthrough series Batman has to enter Ace chemicals and take down the Arkham Knight’s henchmen as well as rescue Ace workers who are being held hostage.

If I am not mistaken… Batman may have killed a dude at the 1:07 mark, I mean shoving someone’s head into a panel full of live electrical wires doesn’t exactly sound survivable.

Regardless, part two will be released on the Arkham Knight facebook page with the final video premiering during the PlayStation Experience Keynote on December 6th.

Batman Arkham Knight will be released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on June 2nd 2015. Check out the full video after the jump.

Become a Legend With The Destiny Launch Trailer

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Rae Michelle Richards

Bungie’s latest title – the  MMO/FPS hybrid Destiny – is now available through both physical and digital retailers. To celebrate Activision released a live action trailer. This live action trailer was directed by Josepth Kosinki whom is probably most well known for helming TRON: legacy. He’s coupled his live action trailer with some Led Zepplin , which if you ask me is a pretty awesome choice.

Activision is trumpeting Destiny as “the most pre-ordered new video game IP” and according to them over 4 million people participated in the in the game’s beta this past July. Players take on the role of a Guardian on the last city on Earth. Adventures aren’t just limited to this planet of ours – the interactive world promises to span the stars with missions located on Mars!

Check out the live action trailer in the player below. Activision has provided Broken Joysticks with a PS3 copy of Destiny and we will be posting our full review in the coming weeks.
