Gothic 1 Remake – A release date, finally [Trailer]

Finally, we get a release date for the Gothic 1 Remake, which will be the 5th of June. I wouldn’t say it’s close, but I’m almost certain it will be a great summer RPG. Something to sit down and play while dodging the unbearable anti-gamer heat. They released a trailer for this occasion, where we can see that they have fixed the controversy by making Gomez’s ladies hot again. This can be spotted at 1:28 minutes into the trailer. Overall, it’s a nice trailer that sets the mood, but I’m a bit worried if my system can run it at 60 FPS without melting the GPU. Trailer after the jump!

Replaced – Demo Impressions

Sometimes you just want to experience the classics, and what’s more classic than fighting a corrupt corporation in a decayed cyberpunk future? At least, that was the impression I was getting from being dropped smack down in the middle of things in the demo. Replaced is a 2.5D action platformer, in which you fight weird cannibal-like mutants, while traversing the ruins of a futuristic city—what’s not to like?

Vultures: Scavengers of Death – Demo Impressions

Turn-based gameplay in a classic setting of survival horror—now that’s an unusual twist. I’m glad to report that Vultures: Scavengers of Death makes it work splendidly. So, prepare yourself to dodge, headshot zombies, look for loot, and read final messages of bite victims’, but all in a turn-based manner from a top-down view.

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! – Demo Impressions

The eternal enemy of the human race is once again back to torment us. This time in the style of a chaotic retro shooter with a ton of gore—human and insect alike! Welcome to the demo of Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! My impression after playing the demo is: this will not be known for its story, except that the bugs need a good stomping.

Dead Space [Animated Comic]

Whatever you think of Electronic Arts, they had a knack for producing awesome comics to promote their games. Or, well, used to, anyway. The Dead Space animated comic is probably the best promotional material I have ever seen in this regard. It’s superbly made, with excellent voice acting and a gritty graphic‑novel style that fits the theme—complete with buckets of blood and gore.

The Dead Space animated comic tells the story of Aegis VII, where humanity dug up the dreaded Red Marker—which later sealed the fate of the planet-cracker ship USG Ishimura, where the first Dead Space game takes place. In other words: it’s a spectacular prequel for those of us who want more juicy Dead Space lore. Watch the film below, but make sure to skip the first 2:23 minutes, because it’s just a weird summarization that spoils the story. I have marked the time-jump. Enjoy!
