Straight out of David Perry’s overactive imagination, who is well known for his funny platform games, the most famous video worm with the robotic suit will be back in 2010 on XBLA and PSN. Sadly this won’t be any new episode but only a High Definition remake from the saga’s very first part, though still improved with various bonuses such as new levels, improved graphics and more importantly, a multi player mode (4 simultaneously)… Released back then on Megadrive, Super Nintendo, Game Gear, Gameboy, Mega-CD and PC, the game at that time stood out thanks to its daft humour in cartoon-like graphs with pleasantly crazy characters! So if our favourite worm treats himself to a face lift, why miss it?
After a short go at third person action games (Killzone Liberation released on PSP in 2006), the Dutch Guerrilla Games studio will be back in FPS mode for its famous futuristic franchise’s 3rd episode! Currently on its way, Killzone 3 is as always a Sony exclusivity (therefore to be played on PS3 only) and is supposed to come out next year. Though the exact release time isn’t known yet, some other very interesting infos have been revealed in the American magazine GamePro. Indeed, the first screenshots show beautiful snowy for the player to wander in 3D: those who own 3D glasses and adapted TVs will enjoy the spectacular visuals as the whole video game will be adapted to 3D! It is also said that the saga’s background should be a little more detailed, that the game will offer many hand to hand fights (similar to Uncharted) and that new material and weapons will be available (jet-pack and Wasp). But before a trailer comes out, discover here under the first pictures from the FPS which is surely about to become next year’s videogame event!
After the proven success of its platform game on Nes, Super Nes and Gameboy, Metroïd saga had then benefited from a fresh start thanks to GameCube when Nintendo had cleverly changed the game play to more FPS and action focused. Given that, it is no real surprise to hear that the Japanese firm has decided once more to change once more the whole concept by announcing that the franchise’s next episode would be a hybrid one. Metroïd Other M’s gameplay will indeed be based on an aerial side view (from a 3rd person’s view), however the player will be able to skip back to subjective FPS views whenever he wishes to. Also improved with kinematics and dubbed dialogues, the scenario (taking place right after Super Nes’ episode) seems to hold a more important place and will offer the occasion to know a little more concerning the famous alien hunting heroine Samus Aran. Given the first critics of lucky reviews, the new Metroid episode seems to have succeeded in mixing the genres, and it is now time once more to put our power suits on and go kick some alien!
The paranormal video game saga F.E.A.R that was started in 1995 with a first really freaky episode is now ready for a 3rd one to be played on PS3, 360 and PC by the end of October 2010. Warner Bros’ Interactive Entertainment department has recently officially announced that Day 1 studios would be developing F.3.A.R in collaboration with Monolith Productions, who were at the head of the 2nd one’s conception. Hence, this means that Alma and her two sons Point Man and Paxton Fettel are back in this horrific FPS. Though it will still be possible to play with Point Man on its own, you will now also be able to play with both characters at the same time, thanks to the cooperation mode that has been introduced to improve the game! Hence the two brother enemies will sometimes have to join forces in order to fight against Armacham! Moreover, famous horror names have been added to the game’s conception: director John Carpenter has lend his visual know-how for kinematics while the great Steve Niles (writer of the comic book 30 days of nights) has co-written the scenario, making this 3rd episode even more exciting… Impatient would still not be strong enough to describe our actual feelings!
