A lot of games are there that Capcom announced for the XBox 360 and the PS3, but there are 2 games that Capcom haven't announced for this generation since day one.
Those games are Onimusha and Dino Crisis... has Capcom forgot about those two titles? Well, the last time both of those games where released was on the PS2 and XBox. Does any... More »
We’ve spent the past few weeks researching ahead, and we are proud to bring you a list of our staff’s most anticipated games, presented in alphabetical order…
Alan Wake: This psychological action thriller, from Remedy, (of Max Payne 1 and 2 fame) is published by Microsoft Game Studios, exclusively for Windows Vista and Xbox 360 (unfortunately, the previously planned PlayStation 3 version was nixed). The main character is based on Ilkka Villi, a Finnish professional actor and writer.
Disaster: Day of Crisis: This new "Survivor" Wii game uses natural disasters as the impetus to inspire rogue Special Forces, while players race cars down mountains, dodge toppling buildings, and try to avoid the devastation of an earthquake, in addition to swimming through a raging flood.
Endwar: Best-selling author, Tom Clancy’s story, set during World War III, was designed by Ubisoft Shanghai. Previously known as "Firehawk," it is a real-time strategy game f... More »
It's less than two months since the launch of the PlayStation 3 in North America and Japan. The highly anticipated, supposedly ultra-powerful next-gen video game system from Sony has, according to just about every legitimate news source, flopped.
Availability for the launches had been pathetic, must-have software remains limited to Resistance: Fall of Man, the console is super expensive ($599 for the 60GB model), Sony is mired in debt due to the outrageous production costs incurred by producing the console, and to make matters worse, Microsoft and Nintendo are soaring.
The Wii caught on huge in Japan - and just about everywhere else - and the Xbox 360 had already enjoyed a one-year head-start, in which we saw more than a few great titles. Blu-Ray, still in its infancy, hasn't yet started to move much, considering the lack of PS3s in the marketplace. Whispers of "another Betamax" are rampant... Doom and gloom permeates almost every PS3-related news story, and... More »
From the source linked above: We've got your first look at the new teaser poster for Screen Gems' adaptation of the Tekken video game from Namco. The story centers on two childhood friends who enter a worldwide martial arts tournament. As they progress, the pals move toward uncovering a secret that lies within the mysterious Tekken Corp. Charles Stone will direct.
In other game-to-film news, ComingSoon.net has learned that Christophe Gans' (Silent Hill) adaptation of video game Onimusha is expected to roll cameras in April of 2008. From Capcom, the game centers on a demon-fighting samurai.
Let’s face it; film adaptations of video games are generally terrible. Hollywood has a long reputation of turning excellent video games into mediocre to horrible movies (See: Super Mario Brothers, Mortal Combat, Doom, etc.). With the recent release of the commercially successful but critically panned “Resident Evil: Extinction,” it doesn’t appear that this trend is reversing itself any time soon. The most frustrating aspect of these poor game-to-film translations is that video game based movies do not have to be awful. Video games provide amazingly deep and complex story lines and tremendous action sequences, yet little to none of this translates to the big screen.
The problem lies in the fact that Hollywood appears to have an inherent lack of respect for the validity of these games as art (Talking to you Mr. Ebert). The suits just see dollars. The thought process seems to be if a video game is met with commercial success, then why not slap together an incoherent ... More »
We should clarify up front that there is no game known as "Yakuza 3" at this point. But in Japan, the Yakuza series goes by a different name, and that series is getting a third incarnation. So using the good ol' transitive property, we decided to call this game Yakuza 3 until we hear otherwise.
Okay, so here's where things get weird. Yakuza 3 no longer takes place in a modern setting, moving things all the way back to 1605. We're not going to claim there weren't any shady business dealings back in that era, but something tells us that's not exactly the "yakuza" Sega of America's marketing department came up with when thinking of the U.S. title for the series.
Naming conventions aside, we got to check out a bunch of video footage from the game today, and it looks fantastic. Despite the drastic setting change, there are plenty of connections between Yakuza 3 and the first two games in the series -- being able to move through a crowded city, fighting people, play... More »
