A few years ago I made an animated short by computer. It was a hard work of several months in which I tried to build from scratch the screenplay it had written and artistic direction that had drawn. Finally, see what mounted meant an enormous pride. Almost without knowing how, I got that result was visually fixed and what they had imagined. See moving everything gave me a moment of satisfaction that I have never forgotten.
Saving the (huge, huge, huge) distances, I can imagine how the creators of video games should feel when they see their creations reflected on the screen. The enormous work of sketches and designs comes to us so that we can delight us walking by them in virtual form. It is a pleasure to see videos like this 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim', and more knowing its heady scale.
The expected title of Bethesda will come to market on Friday of the week to come, in this already iconic (11/11/11). Remember then, when you see this mountainous landscape that is lost in the horizon, the long hours of dedication that behind every feeling that travel through your body.
Forget about the sugarcane tone of the intro of 'Final Fantasy X' of the J.R.R.Tolkien touch that of 'Final Fantasy XI' or the influence of 'Star Wars' of 'Final Fantasy XII'. The beginning of 'Final Fantasy Type-0' is slow, ochre, violent, bloody and desperate.
Accustomed to the exultant animated mini movies to usually give foot on an adventure into the worlds created by Square Enix, surprised the extremely gloomy atmosphere of the next 'Final Fantasy'. Portable originated subtracts points at the level of graphical spectacular, but does not condition a negative thing interesting expect what awaits us.
Just a week ago we talked about the benefits of the game. It gives the feeling of 'Final Fantasy Type-0' has grown to reach maturity and does not want to hear from its progenitor. The colorful 'Final Fantasy XIII' proposal came accompanied by too many shortcomings to want to look like it.
This PSP game is ambitious in its own way, alien to nearby influences and friend of alien formulas. I not too communion with the spirit of bleak if this is a synonym for emo. I hope that so much sadness and anger remain in this strange intro, and the world open after our eyes is worthy of the dignity which in other times took the franchise.
It will on November 11, in PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 to reach and propose us to live an adventure epic and fantastic in an icy land and full of dragons.'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' is the major release of the year for Bethesda and preparing it for everything high.
A few days ago we saw a couple of new videosand thanks to them to deepen in the use of weapons, spells, fighting with dragons and other enemies of reduced size. Now up to enjoy one of these announcements with actors and budget which we both like. A dragon, a terrified village, snow mixed with ashes, the panic of people, children crying and a hero who decides to stand up draw its swards…
And nobody said that it would be easy to defeat the very God Alduin, turned into a dragon, it threatens to put an end to the world of Tamriel. A new graphics engine, the pillars of the series intact, and in any case, improved a giant to explore map and a world that adapts in real-time to our actions. You have no desire to take your sword and put an end to one of these winged creatures?
Those who have wanted to learn more about 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'are in luck. A few days ago we learned of the curious competition that brought the guys at Bethesda that were to happen the primary mission of the game in the shortest possible time.
Now up to enjoy a long video, more than five minutes courtesy of Gamespot, which we see the handling of two weapons, powerful spells, fighting with enemies and spectacular Dragons (stars of the function). All that is seasoned with a superb graphics and a few landscapes of high quality. By the way, the spell of ice is a genuine past. It is brutal to see the effect before the enemies.
A few days ago my colleague told us the huge and massive 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' map. An extension like that it enjoyed in 'Oblivion' but with a terrain much more wild which will put many more impediments to our movements. Already is very little that you see the light and the collector's Edition looks tremendous.
By the way, enjoy another video focused on the fighting. So epic music, facing a dragon is going to be something worthy of experiment, isn't it?
Perhaps the most anticipated game of the Star Wars saga is already about to candy: 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' will be released in December of more than 3 years after having been submitted and all the betting on the'World of Warcraft' model: game massively role-playing and online, but with the flavor of the Galactic saga of George Lucas behind.
Do not lack ambition to their creators, with EA to lead a project that Bioware and LucasArts have worked side by side. We are talking about the holy man of the Triples online, a game whose budget has exceeded $ 125 million and that will need to convince the users in a complicated area. Let us see what offer to do so.
'The Old Republic': Impression
The first incentive is clear, the universe in which it is set. Say 'Star Wars' remains today guarantee of success, despite the fact that the cow that Lucas is milking more than 30 years now is little milk.
The good news here is that this time we not go back to the episodes of the series: 'The Old Republic' will be placed more than 3,500 years before the birth of Luke Skywalker and only 300 years after the events of ' Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic', which not only in setting but also possibilities will be the game in which 'The Old Republic' look.
And thus laying the foundations for this new chapter: Siths and Jedi are a few years of truce after the great war, in which 28 years both factions clashed causing the disappearance of numerous star systems and ending with the withdrawal of all the Jedi. Star Wars, in which none of the contestants wants a great conflict, but cannot leave face is the "cold war" of the universe.
What will happen in the game is a mystery, though Bioware has been advised that it wants an MMORPGto give special attention to the script.
The new Star Wars MMORPG gameplay
To start playing to 'Star Wars: The Old Republic', will have to decide what side we want to belong, if the Siths or the Jedi, which will determine our plot lines. However, as it is the case in other Bioware games, inside it we will have to face other decisions to the morality of the character, so that not everything is black or white, but it also has space for a wide range of ambiguity.
Clashes between ships whose idea you can see in the next trailer will be space for fighting body to body, or with close range weapons, but also for the concept of "space war", in the game:
As you can see, is a concept similar to 'Afterburner': will control the movement left and right and up/down as well as weapons, but not the speed of the ship or other external factors.
Another interesting point of the game will be companions, NPCs that will help us to gain resources while we focus on the main or secondary missions which we want to cover:
Classes in ‘The Old Republic’
Like all role-playing game self-respecting (except 'Skyrim', which has opted to dispense with them), in 'The Old Republic' will have special importance our character classes. Each side has four of them.
Each of these classes will have a different storyline, and also included two specializations, so that in total we will have 16 types of different characters in this first wave of the game. In addition, class we choose will be which define what ships can fly in the first place.
Date of launch, price and trailer
Star Wars: The Old Republic' will go on sale December 20 in the US. Each copy of the game will include subscription for 30 days to the MMORPG and then may opt for three different tariffs:
* Subscription 1 month: 12, 99 EURO * 3 months: 35, 97 EURO * 6 months: 65, 94 EURO approximately
Over the years, since 2008 announced the game, several have been trailers that Bioware and LucasArts have taught us: one of the most spectacular was the last E3.
Three will be issues that will be launched ' Star Wars: The Old Republic', all these juicy for a game that promises to be at the height of what has been occurring.
If there is someone here who does not know that at least some other work of Studio Ghibli to leave the room, please. Are we all? Not bad. 'Ni no Kuni' we talked about already somewhere that another time, but it is never worth take a look at your videos. Today we have a new, more or less long (more than three minutes) that will delight fans of Japanese animation Studio.
We have already had the opportunity to experience the feeling of being controlling characters from any other episode of animated series (the last titles of 'Naruto' for PS3 and Xbox 360, for example), but the level reached by Level 5 and Studio Ghibli 'Ni no Kuni' has all the earmarks of leaving the bar much higher still.
It's too pretty for not wanting to play it with all our desire, something that we will not be able to do until it reaches the year 2012. There is no confirmed date, but in principle we should receive the version for PS3 'Ni no Kuni' at the beginning of next year. There is another version provided for DS, but we do not know what will be his fate in the European territory is concerned
If someone asks you for the more difficult game to which have laid you their hands on recently, I am sure that many will say that, without a doubt, this is 'Dark Souls', the RPGNamco Bandai developed by From Software action. As well, ye know that a type calling himself SexyShoiko laugh on your face if you heard say that.
He has in fact already laughed all Dark Souls passing in a time of 1 hour, 26 minutes and 28 seconds. In Kotaku we are not going by putting every Speedrun that goes out there, but we must recognize that the kid is what has worked. A few days ago we were seeing a trailer for the game intended to remind us of its difficulty and it is that there is a guy in little less than an hour and a half is it airing.
Here below you will find seven videos in which SexyShoiko has divided this surprising speedrun of 'Dark Souls'. Needless to say that if you want to avoid any kind of spoiler best thing is that you forget all this and go to something else.
If there is a game that you would expect to be endless and longest one day without bread that is, without doubt, 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'. The latest installment of Bethesda comes stomping and promises hours of fun Viking-fantastic. That Yes, if you dedicate to complete only the main adventure (tremendous sacrilege in a game as well) you can going on a scant two hours.
How? The main adventure of 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'takes only 2 hours? Man, Yes, but the thing has trick. And that is those little two hours a record set by Sam Bernstein, a tester of Bethesda who decided to challenge the rest of the team to see who was able to pass it quickly.
Its final time was 2 hours, 16 minutes and 10 seconds. He won, of course, but he could feel the breath in the neck of Jeff Browne, of the development team, who stayed in 2 hours, 16 minutes and 30 seconds. Of course that the thing as I said earlier has trick and these employees from Bethesda to know exactly what options take, what roads follow, how to get rid of the enemies and strengths and weaknesses of the entire game. Put another way, go with the autopilot.
It is something similar to YouTube videos which are passed Mario Bros in six minutes. If you know all the secrets the thing is easier, right?
Okay, I know that you are not especially excited with ' Final Fantasy XIII-2', I do not, but even if only because of the importance that this franchise have for the history of video games, are obliged to give him some attention. And more when we get a shipment of materials as wide as that today we have carried out by Square Enix.
We started with a new trailer for seven minutes in length, so long that if it is neglected guts us the full game. We have time to look at sequences kinematic, much combat and exploration carried out by the new protagonists of this direct sequel. Since then, it has all the earmarks that is not going to convince those who not enjoyed with the first delivery.
After much movement we go with something quieter, because from Famitsucomes a good batch of new images, many of them drawn from scenes from the trailer. Remember that'Final Fantasy XIII-2' will be released at the end of the year in Japan, and the stores of other continents like Europe and America, it will reach around February.
'Dark Souls' has been already a few days on sale, but Namco Bandai has decided not to stop the publicity machine, and a result of this here we have a new trailer for this powerful RPG for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The name of this video is 'Hardcore', so you can get to the idea of their intentions.
Its creators have always stated the goal of making a truly difficult title, even more than his predecessor, something which today does not carry much in the world of video games. In times where more and more we are accustomed to it to give us everything anorexiant and with a bow,'Dark Souls' is intended to be a call to our more challenging side, which is not afraid to face any problem.
The question now is: are you prepared to meet the challenge? Because you do not have to go to your favorite trade and purchase a copy of the title developed by From Software, if it is to not have done. With trailers as spectacular as this, it is difficult to resist the temptation.
It is true that a title as 'Mass Effect 3', taking into account their previous two games and their characteristics, is not perhaps adjust to a competitive multiplayer. That is why what BioWare has been included in this third installment is a co-op. After the confirmation we can already see a first video in which Casey Hudson, executive producer of the game, talking about what we find. There are also a few images belonging to the cooperative:
Hudson makes it clear that this cooperative mode comes with the idea to complement the experience that we can live alongside Shepard in the way for a player rather than a part separated from the campaign as it can be found in a multitude of games.
We can form teams with up to three players more to carry out missions in cooperative and one of the main attractions will be the possibility of controlling characters that until now remained outside our scope. In this way we will have access to all the different classes and a number of different races.
According to our results by controlling the sites that we propose in these cooperative missions late in the game solo will be one way or another. I.e.: the integration of the multiplayer goes beyond to perform certain tasks with colleagues, reaching affect permanently to our progress in the campaign.
Things look very good because it does not appear in BioWare have chosen to make a multiplayer as well as as well only to have it, but everything will be integrated within the story. From next March 9, 2012 we can check it on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
In a fan site to the zombie slaughter Dead Island, followers of horror game turned a very funny video, in which the protagonist is the zombies with the hanger to body.
The action-based horror game Dead Island remained an insider's tip in Europe. Who was looking for it on the shelves of the dealer, who looked in vain, because the game not released in these European Countries and could be ordered only on import. The developers simply shy the ESRB and Dead Island would not be brought before the dreaded inspecting authorities.
Elsewhere, the zombie slaughter enjoyed Dead Island of but very popular. So, the title in the English according was even two weeks in the first place. Therefore it is not surprising also those fans of Dead Island have now started a private film project to the game. The video is also great to get an idea of what is involved in the game.
Not without humor have the fans have proven their reference to the horror game here. As protagonists of enthusiasts a comic book they chose Larry. This attempts to avoid the crowds of zombies. After he has strengthened with some energy drinks, he makes the way. Whether the clothes hanger, who is his weapon, it was the right choice, is difficult to assess. As well as in the game also the protagonist of the video must wager are the weapons only. And up to the gun provided in Vista fails Larry unfortunately. The video is also a good example that games cannot become brutalized, but definitely stimulate the imagination of the fans.
Seems that Edmund McMillen, one of the "Meat Boys", is excited about his work titled 'The Binding of Isaac', is that these last few weeks has not stopped updating his personal blog with content relating to its offspring explaining a myriad of topics to make clear what's happening: the random dungeons, arsenal, characters, enemies objects, achievements, and much more. Up bullshit, has shown as an animated gif with different characters (and references to his other works), all just to put something and count the days are so their work goes on sale on Steam. But now he must not speak of days, but nine hours.
That is why the own McMillen offers not one, but two videos from 'The Binding of Isaac'. Title remembers out on Steam for Mac and PC, and at the price of 5 Euros. On the one hand we have a trailer with fairly explanatory gameplay, and another one with the first 20 minutes of the game in question, so there will be several spoilers. My advice? See only the first.
Since last September 20 family of free-to-play on Steam has seen its catalog grow Stairway Games entitled 'Rusty Hearts' with a new addition, this time with the work of the study, by what the figure now stands at ten titles under this business model that is so fashionable lately. Won't be nor the last to arrive, that surely.
If you are the Gothic style with vampires of by means already have part of the ground gained with 'Rusty Hearts', and if add you to this that it has a development of fighting very old school (roll beat'em up) and that we can make PvP (player versus player) duels, more letters so we seduce. Apart that it is free-to-play, i.e., free entry, but with micropayments.
While 'Rusty Hearts' is a title for the PC, and is therefore intended entry to be enjoyed with mouse and keyboard, it is also optimized for playing with a remote control.

Few days have passed after the confirmation of which `Fire Emblem 3DS' was developing. The news that personally hoped like May water, since this saga of Intelligent Systems enchants to me. Since some user has said, now only lacking who arrives new to us Advance Wars and we will already have the perfect stand for casks.
But meanwhile the last one does not arrive we have to do more on first, and is indeed what we are going to do. First with its official trailer (in Japanese), and later with a video of gameplay. In both we can see one of the new features of this delivery, and she is not other than the joint attack. This one will be qualified when a companion is to our side and is within the rank of attack of the rival. For example, if we go with our Lord, and just behind ours we have a magician, when attacking the enemy our magician also will send a fireball to its maximum effectiveness.
If you wait for this `Fire Emblem 3DS' for Christmas, I feel disappointed, because it is not going to us to still arrive. It gives me that the European we are going to have to wait for much, since until the spring of the 2012 will not leave in Japan, so… Patience. That certainly as much delay will be worth the trouble.
All of the videos that were shown at the conference 3DS there were two I particularly enamored by ITS artistic direction. One was'The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword', of which Little Remains to Be Told not Been Already said. The second was 'bravely Default: Flying Fairy' A new JRPG of the team to bring 'Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light' to DS.
As if There Was Any Doubt, the portable Nintendo, as it did predecessor, is Positioned as one of The Most Successful so far as Platforms JRPG is concerned, Is That Such titles with beauty, to date, only from the Japanese market is hard to Giving Them an Opportunity resist as much as the industry considers That the Nipponese are in the doldrums. Of course, what the Square Enix and the name starts to look funny.
In Addition to STI video then you have to display a gallery of imagery the title. We will keep track, this new game will hit Japan in 2012 and hopefully soon and will land in the West. It seems that pre-rendered funds still have much to offer to this industry.
If you had to tell the exact date That Will sell Without consulting an Internet game to win a contest is likely to say That of becoming a full 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' Because it is very simple to remember, and Beside the game is worth That it: 11/11/11 . Easy, huh? The Game Itself unlikable, because it seems to us a simple walk through the world Skyrim especially now that we know we can turn into vampires . But that’s another story.
Returning to historical worldwide release date we are still as a few months, so you have to somehow appease the wait. What if we see this 20 minutes video from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' ? If you do not mind losing a bit of surprise, you are going to Which find below is an Extensive gameplay have already been shown which in QuakeCon and PAX Prime this year, like at E3, behind closed doors.
It is not so spoiler as it might seem, But a mere demonstration as of the start of the game as a tutorial, where, the very Todd Howard, project manager, we will be telling all you see and what we can do. Giving to play go to the free choice of each, though, what are 20 miserable minutes for a game That Will Have Countless hours hooked to the screen?
Perhaps the largest combination could offer the games industry is to see the animation studio Ghibli and developer Level-5 working side by side."Ni no Kuni' has been the result of this collaboration, and today, all you can say about this unique PS3 is low and insufficient.
If live a cartoon it's an experience we wanted to enjoy some time in our lives as players and fans of animation, it accompanied the magic makers drip tape and brings Grave of the Fireflies or Spirited Away is something that is on another level. You sometimes think that never reach but eventually the technology provided by this generation has made it possible.
Beauty in its purest form, that is offered by this new trailer of "Ni no Kuni '. A title that, unfortunately and as happened with its predecessor, you may never get to see in the shops in the West. It is an error, and as a lesson to those distributors that they are referred to, this game is left without leaving Japan. I think anyone who sees the video below would dare pass up the chance to buy if they had choice.
