E3 2012: ‘Transformers: Fall of Cybertron’ New Cinematic Trailer

Posted on June 7, 2012

“All of your cities lie in dust.” There’s no line of music more fitting for the tone of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. With Transformers: War for Cybertron, the Autobots were left with a world on the brink of collapse at the hands of Megatron. What looks to be their only option left is to fight to survive. Even with the brief glimpses of hope seen at the end of War for Cybertron, things look bleak. This new E3 trailer captures that tone and shows what little hope remains for the Autobots.

The trailer features all the main Transformers that will be appearing in Transformers: Fall of Cyberton including Optimus Prime, an injured Bumblebee, the Dinobots, Megtron, Soundwave and Starscream. It also reveals possibly the most epic of the Transformers, the city-sized Metroplex. The reveal may give some insight into a Decepticon portion of the campaign. While the Autobots will get a heroic moment when they recruit the Dinobots, the Decepticons may take down the last hope of the Autobots by disabling Metroplex.

Take a look at the trailer after the jump.

HBO Go Now On Amazon Kindle Fire

Posted on June 7, 2012

Even with the iPad dominating the tablet market Amazon’s Kindle Fire is still the second most popular tablet available. One thing users had been hoping for was a way to watch content from pay services like HBO the way their iPad using friends could.

Sadly, that’s wasn’t possible. . . until now. That’s right, HBO on Wednesday announced its popular video streaming app HBO GO is now available immediately for the Amazon Kindle Fire. HBO GO allows HBO subscribers with service through certain cable providers to stream HBO content such as Game of Thrones, True Blood, The Sopranos and a great selection of movies to their mobile devices.

“We are thrilled to offer HBO GO to the growing community of millions of Kindle Fire owners,” said Aaron Rubenson, director of the Amazon Appstore. “The HBO GO app will offer instant access to HBO’s incredible lineup of shows. Kindle Fire owners already download and use apps and games frequently on their devices, and we expect that only to increase with the addition of HBO GO and all of its popular content.”

E3 2012: ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’ Behind the Scenes Preview

Posted on June 7, 2012

Horses. Zombies. Drones. Walking tanks. What’s left really to say about Call of Duty: Black Ops II at this point? Microsoft knows how valuable a franchise it is. That’s why they dedicated the final section of their E3 Press Conference to an extended gameplay demo. But is it too much of a good thing? Obviously Activision and the gaming masses don’t think so.

As you will see in the Behind the Scenes preview below which was created for E3, Call of Duty: Black Ops II doesn’t want to just look and feel like any other sequel in the Call of Duty franchise. Players will be given new weapons and techniques in order to be given new experiences, instead of just shooting their way through levels in the same way they have for the better part of the past decade.

Treyarch knows the pressure they are under to deliver something new and is intent on doing so both in terms of gameplay and graphics. They give special emphasis on lighting as the final layer of graphical polish to make the game look as good as possible.

In the trailer, there is no mention of new details in the game’s multiplayer and only a very brief detail about the size of the Zombie mode which is intended to give players more options than ever before in it.

Take a peek at the full behind the scenes look at Call of Duty: Black Ops II which is coming out for every major platform and has the potential to again be the highest selling game of the year.

First Teaser for Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ Is Here

Posted on June 6, 2012

After some casting news, a poster and some official photos, the first teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained has arrived. I won’t go into too much detail about the teaser, but let’s just say it looks to be another very interesting movie from Tarantino and perhaps a fitting successor to his last effortInglourious Basterds.

As a fan of the director and his work, I’m probably a bit biased here. Still, that doesn’t mean this movie won’t be great. I think it probably will.

Or, at the very least, it won’t be boring — which is more than I can say for a lot of movies these days. Check out the teaser after the break. Look for Django Unchained to hit theaters on Christmas day.

E3 2012: New ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Trailer Debuts the Black Cat, Scorpion and Vermin

Posted on June 6, 2012

With the Amazing Spider-Man hitting theaters very soon, things are ramping up fast for the movie tie-in game as well. The Amazing Spider-Man game though doesn’t look to tie in closely to the story of the movie as we are yet to see any images of the Lizard, Captain Stacey or Gwen Stacey. Instead, the game exists in the same world as the film, most likely after it’s events and not concurrently like other Spider-Man film games have done in the past.

This will most likely lead to a more impressive narrative rather than the shoehorned one often given when games try to fit too tightly to the movie’s major plot points. This trailer for the Amazing Spider-Man gives us three new character reveals. The first seen is Vermin. Unlike his comic counterpart, this version of Vermin appears much more rat-like including a tail. Our main hint that this is Vermin in the game is the hordes of rats seen running around on-screen during his encounter with Spider-Man.

‘Wreck It-Ralph’ Capitalizes On E3 Week, Releases First Image and Trailer

Posted on June 6, 2012

This is a big week for the video game industry. Everyone has their eyes on Los Angeles as the next few years in Video Gamedom are laid out in very elaborate fashion. So with all of the buzz surrounding the industry, Disney decided now would be the perfect time to unveil Wreck-It Ralph officially.

For those of you woefully unaware of what Wreak-It Ralph is all about, here is a synopsis to get you up to speed:

Wreck-It Ralph longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix. Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun, Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan — win a medal — but soon wrecks everything, and accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade.

The movie has the chance to be this generation’s Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, only instead of rival cartoons co-existing in their own world it is established video game characters. Just the support group in this trailer alone evokes the same sort of feeling of watching Daffy and Donald Duck play dueling pianos.

Wreck-It Ralph hits cinemas this winter and check out the trailer and the full official image after the jump.

E3 2012: ‘Star Wars: 1313’ Cutscene and Gameplay Footage

Posted on June 6, 2012

For most gamers, their most recent memory of Star Wars came in the form of Star Wars Kinect and seeing Han Solo attempting to shake his Corellian booty. After some intense therapy they may be ready to give the franchise another shot, especially after such classics as Tie Fighter, Rogue Squadron or The Force Unleashed coming from the Star Wars mythos. E3 brought the latest from LucasArts with Star Wars: 1313 (with absolutely no mention of Kinect, Move or waggle controls within a mile of it).

Star Wars: 1313 is named for the subterranean metropolitan level of Coruscant where the player will be exploring. The player will take on the role of a bounty hunter in this cover-based third person shooter game. While there are still many details left to be revealed, there has been a batch of footage released from E3 featuring a cut-scene , combat gameplay and an action set piece designed to show various aspects of the game.

Check out the three trailers after the break.

Warner Bros. Moving Forward with ‘Justice League’ Movie. . . Again

Posted on June 6, 2012

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Marvel and Disney should feel pretty good right about now. Why? Well, because of the success of Marvel’s The Avengers, Warner Bros has decided to move forward (again) with its long gestating Justice League movie.

Now before you get too excited, they’ve only hired a writer. Although, that’s a great first step considering movies just don’t spontaneously happen by themselves with actors making up their lines on the day (regardless of what actors tell you).

The latest writer to take on the Justice League is Will Beall, who wrote the studios Gangster Squad movie that’s coming out soon. Apparently, because that’s an enseamble piece about a group of gangsters, the studio feels it qualifies Beall to write a Justice League movie? Sure, why not?

In fact, Warner Bros. must really love Beall because he’s also writitng their Lethal Weapon reboot and the reboot of Logan’s Run. He must never sleep.

Of course, we’ll be following this as it develops. In the meantime, look for a Justice League movie sometime in the future. It’s pretty much inevitable it will get made. It’s just a matter of time.
