Capcom Fires On All Cylinders

Last week Capcom held Captivate '09, the developers annual media conference and lineup showcasing. It's the perfect time for them to announce details relating to upcoming games, and more importantly, allows the privileged press hands-on time with the titles. This time around, Capcom showed off their most anticipated games, including: Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, Dark Void, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, and Spyborgs. All information from the event will be grouped within this post.

First up, we have the first full trailer for Dead Rising 2. I'm not too crazy about the new main character's look, but am willing to give the game a try regardless. Expect lots of new weapons, extreme amounts of blood, and most important, hordes of zombies. The DR2 engine can currently reach a max of an insane 7,000 zombies on screen at one time. 

Next, we have a gameplay video for Lost Planet 2. Key features of the game are four player co-op, in-depth character customization, and insane boss battles. Much like Shadow of the Colossus, you can climb onto giant beasts and slay away, but it even takes it one step further. You can go inside the monsters to kill them from the inside, while other players battle from the outside.
Another gameplay video, but this time it is for Dark Void. The real selling points for this title are obviously the ability to fly around the world (The Rocketeer, anyone?), vehicles, weapons, etc. The thing that intrigues me most is the vertical gameplay, which looks pretty interesting and uncommon.
This fourth video is a new trailer/gameplay combo for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. The team behind the game is promising to present some of the best Wii graphics yet by using effects like illumination, lighting, and filters. Atmosphere seems to be a key part of this new entry in the RE series.


Finally, some new screens were released to show off the new look of Spyborgs. The team behind the game scrapped the old look, after the internet practically exploded with negativity. I was one of those who didn't necessarily like the old look, but was willing to wait and see more. Now I can say that I'm so glad they changed the look. It definitely looks to be one of the prettier Wii games to date. I've posted my favorite screen, click over for the rest here.

The Majini Rise Again

Developer/Publisher Capcom announced today that the Resident Evil 5 DLC, called Versus Mode, will go on sale tomorrow for both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The content will contain two different competitive game types: Slayer's Rule and Survivor's Rule. In Slayer's Rule, players will compete in order to see who can kill the most Majini in a certain period of time. Survivor's Rule pits players head to head, as they try to kill one another. Versus Mode will run fans of the series 400 Microsoft Points or $4.99 on the PlayStation Network.

With only three achievements left to acquire, I'm closing in on getting RE5 to 100% complete. I'm definitely down to give the multiplayer a shot and add even more replayability to the game. Some consider the DLC as just a cheap way for Capcom to make money, while others suggest it is definitely worth the price of admission. So it will be interesting to see how well Capcom's latest RE5 addition sells. 

One thing is for sure, as gamers this is basically our future. It's not surprising to see Capcom do this kind of thing in an age where Rock Band's DLC sales tally up to over 40 million downloads. That's essentially an extra $40 million dollars that Harmonix/EA get to put in their pockets, and it's going to continue to grow. Don't get me wrong, I understand the difference between additional modes and additional songs, but it's really just smart business. But I'll be drawing the line if we're forced to buy a blank disc and buy every piece of a game via DLC.

An Army of.. Zombies?

Late last night developer Treyarch unleashed a new trailer that shows what Call of Duty: World at War fans can expect from the upcoming DLC map pack. The highlight of the entire package is an additional zombie map, entitled "Verrückt." Or simply put, a zombie asylum. I played the nazi zombie mode over a friend's house after they raved about how great it was. Now I've become addicted and would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of L4D or just zombies in general. Basically the sypnosis is that you're enclosed in a building and have to see how long you can survive against a horde of zombies. You board up windows to obtain money, purchase randomly chosen weapons, and have to use teamwork in order to stay alive. The DLC also contains three other multiplayer maps, which will all be available when the generically-named "Map Pack 1" is up for download on Xbox 360 and PS3 on March 19th. 
(I'm not sure if the zombie mode is included in the Wii version of the game or not, but where is the love?!). 

Playstation Home Beta

I have the pleasure of being a beta tester for Playstation Home. I am pleased to say that I enjoyed it a lot. Its a really cool experience. The Bowling alley is fun and playing pool is fun too! You can also play arcade games in that location. I must say I am not good at bowling but I am very good at pool! :P.. I beat a guy at it and he was like "its just beginners luck" and I told him "uh no its not". It is so awesome and I keep thinking how cool it will be when it is done. The Theatre is an interesting place because you can sit and watch like you would at a theatre in real life.
Anyways let me close by saying that Playstation Home is awesome! lol
Oh and watch Transporter 3!

GUITAR HERO:WORLD TOUR

WOW, it's been a while since last post hopefully we get back into the swing of things so here we go. Guitar Hero: World Tour, it's coming and its gonna be awesome. Near finished designs for the instruments have been shown. The drums we've seen before but now you'll notice that it has a spot for the Wii remote making the drums totally wireless like their guitar counterparts. Lets start with what we knew so far. The drums totally rock and are pressure sensitive. That means the harder you rock out banging on them the louder the notes will sound in game.

Now here's what we have learned. The Guitars have had a MAJOR overhaul. First of all the star and select buttons have been moved to give the guitar a more realistic look. Also the guitars are slightly bigger so they feel more realistic as well. The big news is the upgrade to the neck. The bottom half has been split into 5 sections much like the 5 extra fret buttons in Rock Band but these can do so much more. During a sustained note you can now slide your finger up and down through the touch sensitive neck to distort the note in a way the whammy bar only dreamed it could. And like before the faceplate is removable so you can customize your axe like you could in GH3. Character Creation also makes its debut here in the form of Create-a-Rocker(Much like Create-a-Skater in Activision's other series of games Tony Hawk's Pro Skater). This however is much more advanced with body distortion as seen in the Tiger Woods games, along with the abilities to make custom face paintings and tattoos.

Confirmed Bands and Songs include:
Linkin Park, Van Halen, Sublime(Santeria), Billy Idol(Rebel Yell), and a song from fellow poster Raith's favorite band, Foo Fighters(Everlong). More details as well as pictures of the instruments can be found at IGN.
