DmC: Devil May Cry detailed in Inside Xbox featured video

relyonhorror — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:41:00 +0000

The next installment of Devil May Cry looks to be quite an interesting twist on the series. Whether you love or hate the new Dante, we can at least be for sure the next DmC title will be visually stunning.

A new video featuring the upcoming Xbox 360 and PS3 game details some differences between the latest offering and the past titles in the Devil May Cry series. While Capcom has handed DmC over to Ninja Theory this time around, it’s easy to see that the integrity of the series remains intact. With the exception of the main character and all.

Ninja Theory is introducing the concept of the surrounding environment being alive and Dante must evade its attempts to kill him. Streets will crumble, walls will fall, and you better get the hell out of the way. While it’s a unique twist, it may not be completely necessary for DmC to be a successful title but we’re not complaining, either.

Dante’s weapons are discussed, and like previous titles you can come up with any number of combinations between ...

Kojima pitched Metal Gear Solid 5, featured The Boss and Cobra Unit in WW2

GameBlogger — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:30:59 +0000

As hype ramps up for Metal Gear Rising , Konami has released a video on the game’s official website showing how the collaboration with Platinum Games came to be.

The documentary starts off with a tantalizing tease of what MGS5 might have been had Kojima Productions gone along with Metal Gear mastermind Hideo Kojima’s plans.

“We were in a situation where we had to start planning for MGS5 ,” Kojima revealed, talking about post- MGS4 plans. “So I started coming up with several ideas. I had several ideas for a game featuring The Boss and Cobra Unit during the invasion of Normandy. I then handed these plans over to the team so they could take over and make the game.”

Snake went up against the Boss and the Cobra unit in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater . Without getting into too much fanboy talk, the boss was Snake’s mentor and leader of the legendary unit that turned the tide of the second World War.

“I presented my ideas to the team during the summer of 2008,” ...

Las Plagas will be featured in Resident Evil: Retribution

relyonhorror — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:41:29 +0000

Milla Jovovich sure loves to tweet. The star of all the Resident Evil film adaptations to date is quite enthusiastic when it comes to sharing new bits of information with fans about what she’s currently up to– in this case, she’s getting prepped to commence shooting the fifth entry in Resident Evil’s film series, Retribution. She’ll be back in the role of Alice, of course, but we’re also going to get some new faces (as far as the films go): Barry, Ada and Leon. But we already know that. Let’s get on to the juicy part of this post.

Milla has revealed that Las Plagas will be featured in the upcoming film. As you know, especially if you frequent us a lot, Las Plagas made its debut in Resident Evil 4 . It was a parasitic threat that Leon was confronted with, because, you know, the T/G-Virus just wasn’t enough for him. Basically, this particular parasite makes one go a little crazy, but doesn’t exactly turn one into a “zombie.” It also has even further effects, though, as we saw in the enemies in the game whose heads would explode to reveal a tentacled mess, amongst the other, more ...
