Just in case you hadn’t yet picked up on the heavy – and welcome – inspiration The Road has had on upcoming Xbox Live Arcade title Deadlight, check out this new trailer.
Alright, I don’t think anyone here can beat me. I’ve suffered through six Xbox 360 RRODs — four personal retail units, and two debug review units. Not once did I think I could delve into this graveyard and create anything constructive, but a local Australian artist clearly did — he used them to build a coffee table! And now it’s for sale…
As far as claims go, yes, I’m being bold and melodramatic. But then, so was Techland’s original Dead Island trailer, which I think set expectations for the co-op zombie shooter to unreachable levels and ultimately came back to haunt it. This time though, the situation is different. No zombies, dead kids or shattered families. Just ATVs. And funny. And trees.
Apparently this Metro: Last Light video appeared for a brief time on GameTrailers, but was quickly taken down. I’m not sure why it was removed, but whatever the reason it did little to stop one enterprising user from grabbing the clip and uploading it to YouTube. Inside we find almost four minutes for gameplay footage, along with a surprisingly solid interview with the developers.
If you’re not up to speed on what Bethesda’s Dishonored is all about, two things should fill you in nicely. One is Stephen Totilo’s “18 Things You Should Know About Dishonored”. And the other is that image at right, of a guy leaping off a rooftop and stabbing a dude in the neck.
It’s only a teaser for a full trailer but this video on Game Trailers TV offers a glimpse of what Crystal Dynamics’ reboot of Tomb Raider is going to look like.
Microsoft has responded to our earlier report of Xbox Live accounts being “jacked” via the “social engineering” of support staff.
For months now, Xbox 360 owners have been complaining of a surge in account thefts, incidents when people wake up one day to find themselves no longer with access (or even possession) of their own Xbox Live accounts anymore.
Indie game developers get it: people don’t have a lot of money these days. And while they’d love to sell their creations at full price, it’s given that a lower-priced offering will get people to try games like Canabalt or World of Goo out and come back to try out even more titles.
