Rise of Nightmares – Controls Trailer

Yet another quirky trailer for Rise of Nightmares, Sega’s zombie-slaying Kinect exclusive, has hit the net. The trailer highlights the unique control scheme and shows how much people are enjoying it, (or not).

Rise of Nightmares releases this month (September 2011) exclusively for Kinect. Who’s getting it!?

Rise of Nightmares: Undead Spokesman trailer scares casuals

[“Chainsaw! Keep it gangster you two”]

SEGA’s Pax 2011 trailer for Rise of Nightmares takes the comedy route once again, this time mocking the casual gamer just a bit.

SEGA is really planning on trying to show Kinect audiences that this is a different game. Will they be interested? We shall see.

Binary Domain director admits being ‘fed up’ with Yakuza games


What happens when you create a ton of Yakuza titles? You and your team get a bit fed up producing those games, regardless of their quality. Binary Domain director, Daisuke Sato, said the following in an interview with TheGamersHub:

“Well Binary Domain was created by the same team that worked on all of the Yakuza series as well as another division who came together to become a large team.

Rise of Nightmares gets delayed?

The website Electronic Theatre has reported that Rise of Nightmares has been delayed throughout Europe and won’t make its promised debut next month. So when is it coming out? According to the site, there is no release date set.

The reason I’m running it as a rumor is because I never heard of this site. None of the bigger sites have confirmed it, SEGA hasn’t confirmed it either. But will I be shocked if its delayed? No.

Sonic Generations: Two Sonics Trailer


The new trailer for Sonic generations is titled ‘Two Sonics’ and is suppose to show off the fact that the game will have retro 2D gameplay with modern 3D sonic. Not only that it shows off the new tails models and even classic Robotnik.

Also unveiled in the trailer is Rooftop Run from Sonic Unleashed and Seaside Hill from Sonic Heroes. Feels good, man. Though I rather have Emerald Coast than Seaside Hill.

Rise of Nightmares achievements hit the web


Rise of Nightmare’s achievements hit the web, some of the achievements being creeper “Watcher” and others being typically what you expected “Iron Fist.”

There is one issue though, most of the big achievements are locked, so we won’t be able to see them till the game releases. Hit the jump to see the achievements.

Binary Domain gets a ton of new screens


Most people seem to have a negative opinion of Binary Domain’s graphics, but to be honest, they aren’t bad. People have been saying it looks like Yakuza 3, so it’s bad. First of all Yakuza 3 does not have bad graphics and this title looks better than the Yakuza titles.
One of the first obvious improvements is the sharpness of the picture, Yakuza 3 (and 4) weren’t so sharp. Not only that, the textures look way better. If the areas are as big as those in the Yakuza games, this could be Nagoshi’s best looking title.

That is not saying that the title will be one of the best looking titles for 2012.

SEGA releases humorous and violent Rise of Nightmares trailer

Check out this trailer, courtesy of Gamespot, for SEGA’s upcoming Kinect bloodbath, Rise of Nightmares. I’ve got to give credit where credit is due; this game definitely stands out from the rest of the Kinect lineup. Rise of Nightmares will be releasing September 6th exclusively for the Kinect. How well (or not) it ends up selling on the family-friendly device should be interesting indeed.

Renegade Ops Game Mode trailer is fantastic


When I first heard that SEGA was going to publish Renegade Ops, I cringed. Just hearing the title made me think of a generic shooting game. But after watching this new trailer, I’m pretty damn excited.

The graphics are pretty impressive for a downloadable title: especially the effects, like the explosions.  Plus that 4 player online co-op could be damn fun.

Anarchy Reigns story trailer, now in English


I posted the same trailer yesterday, only issue was that the last one was in Japanese. This one has the English voice actor laying down lines nice and cheesy. Seems that the story is going to be about someone turning the fighters against each other.

Yeah, not a very unique storyline, but its presented rather well. Don’t you agree?

Anarchy Reigns story trailer looks fantastic, wish I could understand it


A new story trailer for Anarchy Reigns came out tonight. Yeah, looks pretty dramatic, just wish it was in English and not in Japanese. I guess we will have to wait for SEGA Europe or America to put out the English trailer, but I liked the Japanese trailer so much that I wanted to post it ASAP.

I’m one of the people around here who believes that Anarchy Reigns will be a good title due to Platinum Games already delivering 3 awesome games. This trailer just makes me believe in the game even more.

Aliens: Colonial Marines to have “Last Stands” and “Gauntlet” sections


Randy Pitchford has been talking to PC Gamer about Aliens: Colonial Marines this month. He talks about what the team is trying to accomplish with the upcoming title. Two things he says the team is tring to create are sections called “Last Stands” and “Gauntlets”. Names they are using to describe intense parts of the game.

“We’ve come up with language to define some of the tools we use for pacing. Gauntlet Run: this is about getting from point A to point B and everthing’s going to be thrown in your way around you.”

“Last Stand: this is when you’re in a defined area and we’re going to be pouring in aliens from all directions. That’s a pacing moment that can feel sometimes like Left 4 Dead or some of those great moments fromHalf-Life 2 where you’re setting a turret here and setting a turret there. These are really interesting wheen you add co-op into the mix.” – Randy Pitchford

Sounds like it’s going to be a changing experience. The thing I kind of disliked about Left 4 Dead was that it was a one trick pony. It seemed like one mode that was remixed a ton of times. This seems like it’s going to have a bit of everything. Hopefully it’s done right.
