Never Dead release date
Konami’s latest IP is a little violent and a lot weird. If you don’t know about this game yet it is about a demon hunter in a modern age who has been cursed with immortality. Despite what they say it isn’t the first game to feature an immortal protagonist, Lost Odyssey & Otogi 2 springs to mind, but it does more with the ability than any other. When in combat your limbs and head get blown off and you must run, hop or role your way around to put yourself back together. The combat will also change a bit as you will have only one hand to shot with and what not. The way they seem to be playing up the immortality makes it seem like you can’t actually get a game over, just get relentlessly torn to bits over and over again. Personally I’m not that excited about the game but for anyone looking for a wacky and different gaming experience you might want to clear some room for Feb 2.
Metal Gear: Rising gets a new producer
I don’t know about you guys but I am eagerly awaiting the release of MGS: Rising. Unfortunately the game hasn’t been shown off lately and the team keeps switching control. First Kojima, the series’ creator, gave his position to Shigenobu Matsuyama so that he could work on a new game and now Matsuyama has handed it off to Yuji Korekado. Whenever control transfers (more like transfarrs, am I right Kojima) on a project it takes time to reassess and organize, especially on a project the size of a triple A video game. I’m worried that all the transfers will cause the game further delays and quite frankly I want a new Metal Gear experience instead of just HD-Remakes and 3DS ports. Also there were rumours circulating again about MGS5. They were also proven to be meaningless since PSM-UK had an interview with Kojima where he stated, “I think we’ll probably have to make it at some point, but what that will be, we have no idea,” so claim down it isn’t coming anytime soon.
More news on Gears 3 DLC
Epic has already released the Horde Command Pack for Gears of War 3 and has now revealed more details about the next add-on. I already knew and wrote that it would feature Michael Barrick from Zeta Squad in the Gears novels. Now I know who else will be featured and what it will be called. Both of which can be revealed at the same time: “RAAM’s Shadow”. For those who didn’t play the original Gears of War you probably don’t know who General RAAM is. He was the first game’s main adversary and final boss and now you can play as him and tear apart the COG. It is pretty interesting to play the other side of the war and while I tend not to bother with DLC if it is more than a few hours I just might buy it, if for nothing else but to finally make others experience the pain of the Kryll. It will be released on Dec 13th.
