TGS 09: Dead Rising 2 Demo

Here's a bunch of footage of the upcoming Dead Rising 2 from Capcom. The first game came out a while before this site and the podcast so I don't know if anyone really knows but I really disliked the first game. That's not to say I wouldn't be open to a sequel if it was done better. The ideas in the first game were fantastic the problem was the execution. I thought the controls were a bit loose but tolerable, it was the missions that really killed the game for me. I just never found any of it compelling and most of the survivors you found were just plain annoying. The new game is looking really good at the moment so lets see what happens, enjoy the footage.

TGS 09: Ninokuni Japanese Trailer

I'm so excited for this game even though I know nearly nothing about it. It's this games pedigree that make me yearn to play it on my Nintendo DS, first is it's a level 5 RPG and second is that the art is done by FUCKING STUDIO GHIBLI!!! That is all that needs to be said in my opinion so go enjoy this beautiful trailer.

TGS 09: No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle Video

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is already sold for me. I will be buying the game when it comes out, it's been that way for a long time. But now, with this new video, they have sold me all over again... if that's possible.

Like, Holy shit! Shinobu! As a playable character!

to anybody who's played the first game, this is pretty fucking awesome. Also, the amount of new enemies in this trailer really make me wonder about how much new stuff they've packed into the game, not to mention the slightly more mature Killer 7 vibe I'm getting off of a lot of the stuff in the trailer. Maybe Suda 51 is going back to a bit more mature tone in this game... maybe it's just the whole decapitated head part. Either way, it makes me very excited for when the game is finally released in January 2010. Looking forward to it! Hell yeah!

TGS 09: Dead Rising 2 Trailer

I haven't been paying too much attention to Dead Rising 2, but I've recently seen the trailer below, as well as these other two.



Well, first let me talk a bit about the older trailers. Everything looks great, and looks a lot like Dead Rising. That's good, because I really liked the style of Dead Rising's gameplay. However, they have mother fucking chainsaws strapped to everything! holy fucking shit yes! This makes me believe that you'll be able to attach weapons to other weapons, especially since we saw the same chainsaws strapped to a motorcycle as well as a big stick (the big stick part reminded me of Darth Maul, by the way). Chuck Greene is a fairly enjoyable sort of character, and he seems similar to Frank West, which is good since I really enjoyed playing as Frank and honestly wanted him to return, so Chuck Greene seems like the next best thing.

The new trailer hints at some possible Multiplayer, maybe an online survival mode ala Gears of War 2 Horde Mode? Seems pretty plausible, and the setting of it being a futuristic gameshow seems fairly awesome, and somewhat strangely reminiscent of Smash TV.

Look forward to more info on Dead Rising 2 in the coming months, and be sure to look for it on store shelves March 30, 2010.

TGS 09: Final Fantasy XIV Trailer

Hard for me to really get a lot out of this trailer but I'm still curious. I'm sure this game will have crazy sales in Japan but I just don't know if in this post WoW MMO world we live in that this game will find a large western audience. It will be really interesting to follow this game and see how it does in the market. Of course this game probably won't be out until 2011.

TGS 09: New Last Guardian Footage

The video starts off with a nice little behind the scenes of the work going into The Last Guardian and explaining why the creature looks the way it does. Then we see some new footage but not real gameplay form what I can see. Although all footage is in-game engine which is always nice. I'll put it simply by stating this is my most anticipated game of 2010 at this point. There is still God of War III, Halo: Reach, Heavy Rain, and more but this game is one that has got me giddy.

TGS 09: Lost Planet 2 Episodic Trailer

So at TGS which is currently going on Capcom showed a episodic trailer in 3 parts giving some insight into the story of Lost Planet 2 which takes place about 10 years after the ending of the first game. The action here looks incredible and all I can say is that if you thought the monster in the demo released on XBL back in August was big then trust me in saying "you haven't seen anything yet". Lost Planet 2 is coming early 2010 and I cannot wait.

TGS 09: Splinter Cell: Conviction has a release date

To be honest I've never really been into the Splinter Cell series and haven't played one since the first came out. Well Splinter Cell: Conviction showed incredibly well at E3 2009 and got me really excited about coming back to the series this holiday season. Then sadly came the news that it was delayed to sometime in 2010. Well the time has come and we now have a date, February 23rd 2010 Sam Fisher will be back in action.

TGS 09: Nier Replicant Trailer

I was unaware of this game until today but apparently there was a trailer for it back at E3 2009 but from what I saw the two trailers are nothing alike. Anyway this new action title is being made by Square Enix which always draws the eyes attention. It seems to be going in a much more mature and gothic direction then Square Enix has gone before. I love the art style and think it could be really interesting, sorta like a cross between Final Fantasy and The Nightmare Before Christmas. The gameplay itself looks kind of generic but we haven't really seen enough just based on the trailer. Enjoy!
