The Game Trailers / Demo / Lookout thread

[ChEEbA]

Ok, so we'll see if we can keep this alive for a bit.
If there's ANY game trailers, or demos that you've seen, or played and think that other gamers up in here should know about it, post it in here.
Also, this can also be a place to come and ask for info on upcoming titles to see if anyone in here knows about 'em/can provide links...etc.

My first one is for the upcoming FPS "F.E.A.R"That's First Encounter Assault Recon., an excellent, scary looking game at that.

I have already posted this one in another thread, but will again in case anybody missed it
http://www.sierra.com/product.do?gamePlatformId=1833

For those of you that saw the last one, there is a new one below, with more ingame footage.
http://media.pc.ign.com/media/681/681912/vids_1.html?fromint=1
Looks fucking incredible...the bullet time in an fps should be very interesting.
Enjoy...

So...trailers, demos worth downloading, questions...anyone??

Call of duty 2!!!
I didn't even know they were making it, the first one is one of my favourite FPS games in history.
Here's a snippet from gamespy explaining some developments/improvements in the game

"To help bring these battles to life, the Infinity Ward team is pumping up a "battle chatter" system that kicks in when the shooting starts. According to Collier, this system came out of the research they'd been doing with military experts. "One of the things they brought up is the fact that, once the first shot is fired, people are talking," says Collier. "They're yelling to each other, 'I'm reloading,' 'There's enemies over there,' 'We're being flanked,' so we've brought in a context-sensitive battle chatter system." Sure enough, it seemed everyone was yelling out information to each other throughout the battle, and this extends to the enemies. "For anyone who can understand German, the enemies are doing the same thing,"

...So, more realism this time round...shit, the first one was hardcore, I'll say this game is gonna make my top 5 FPS list.
Oh yeah, and there's like a D-DAY: Take Two scene, described here:

"In one of the more memorable videogame moments we've seen in a while, dozens of soldiers began scaling the cliff via rope as bullets and bombs dropped around them. The "shellshock" effect returns from Call of Duty, with the color and sound draining for a few seconds as your character tries to recover from a nearby explosion. Finally, our character grabs a rifle begins to climb one of the ropes up the cliff as bodies drop around you. It's an epic scene, and yet turned out to be just the beginning of the mission."

Oh, and good news - FULL campaigns for American, British and Russian troops:

"Like the original Call of Duty, CoD2 will be broken up into three campaigns -- American, British and Russian -- but this time you'll be able to jump between campaigns freely. You'll start your training in 1941 as part of the Russian campaign, after which you can jump to the British campaign, and then to the American or back to the Russian campaign if you want. "Realistically, I think most people will play through the entire Russian campaign before moving on to the British," says Infinity Ward's Vince Zampella, "but if you get to a point where you're banging your head against the wall, it lets you take a step back and try something else."

ok, that's all I'll post about it for now...FULL info, and a few screenshots can be found over at gamespy.
It looks good, and very good.
I remember the first one, IMO the most impressive war related game I've EVER played, the music, atmosphere, the intense battles, the realistic sound, a fully immersive experience, I hope they can work the same magic the second time around...of course, there's yet another medal of honour game coming out right about the same time...I hope the competition boosts the quality of each respective title.


So, COD2....ANYONE else looking foward to this game?

Soul Calibur 3 in action!!!


"The unholy sword was sealed by the destined one, but a mysterious individual has revived the azure knight, Nightmare. Now the legendary battle of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge continues with the PlayStation 2 exclusive, Soulcalibur III. Which sword will ultimately prevail? To find out, players can assume the role of more than 20 classic characters and three new ones as they follow their fate in the Tales of Souls. Users can even battle it out against their friends in the ever-popular versus match or create their own original characters with Creation mode. For the ultimate challenge, gamers can even rise through the ranks in the World Competition mode and explore the history of past Soulcalibur games with in the Museum. "

This is my favourite fighting series, has been ever since Soulblade on ps1...here's hoping they keep the quality as consistant as it has been thus far.

More news,
Just a title that looked "interesting" to me.
"Bad Day L.A."

"Bad Day L.A. centers on a self-centered chap named Anthony Williams, who, as McGee describes it, is "homeless by choice." After giving up a job as a Hollywood agent, he wants nothing more than to be left alone. Unfortunately, things are about to get ugly. "We've got the city of Los Angeles on the worst possible day in its history," explains McGee. "Every single conceivable disaster you can think of befalls the city in one 12-hour period." If you think fires, earthquakes, meteor showers, and terrorist attacks are bad, that's just the beginning. "One of the last disasters that strikes is that the Mexican army invades the city," says McGee. It's enough to make a season of 24 sound like a vacation.

It's hardly as grim as it sounds, however. In fact, the game has a colorful, cartoonish style that the developers refer to as "superflat," and an equally colorful array of supporting characters. One character has a leafblower and a chainsaw he uses as weapons. A Paris Hilton parody named Beverly carries around mace, pepper spray and a little yappy dog to attack people. Another kid is actually a zombie who fights for you and bites people, and Sarge is, as McGee explains it, "the worst combination of Arnold Schwarzenegger and George Bush."

I think I gotta get me this game...thoughts?

HELLGATE: London

"London Bridge is falling down, and it's not alone. The Thames River is a strip of mud choked with debris, Parliament is a wreck, and Big Ben looms alone over a shattered city. Fires burn perpetually amongst the rubble and the sky above is a pale green soup. The Hellgate has opened, and only a handful of humans survive in the demon-infested aftermath.

Fortunately, they have big guns. Lots of 'em.

It was nearly two years ago that a talented team of Blizzard employees -- responsible for Diablo and Diablo II among others -- struck out on their own and founded Flagship Studios. Their first game may look wildly different, but it doesn't fall too far from the tree: Hellgate: London plays like a first-person Diablo. You'll mow down hordes of demons and collect phat lewt at a blistering pace, advancing your character as you explore the twisted remains of London."


Did you all get that?
IT PLAYS LIKE A FIRST PERSON DIABLO!!! How fucking cool...
Anyways, the screens look incredible too, the full article with shots is over at gamespy:

http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/quake-iv/622407p1.html

Hell. fucking. YEAH!

[ChEEbA]

First of all...I wonder if this game could ever live up to the greatness that was Marvel VS Capcom 2?

Check out the screenshots, it looks great!

http://media.xbox.gamespy.com/media/687/687826/imgs_1.html

Although there's no marvel characters this time around, it still looks very good, and has many of capcoms finest, not to mention a few obscure kinda characters...always cool.

Ok, before I post this, if you're reading this thread for the first time, go back and have a look at some of the links - there's some very nice info, screenshots and demos up in here, well worth the time.

My latest update is a game called "psychonauts".
Check out the demo. Honestly, I avoided this game due to the fact it looked a little cartoony, and I figured I'd not be into it.
I could NOT have been more wrong, grab the demo here
http://www.igniq.com/2005/04/psychonauts-pc-playable-demo.html
Tell me what you think of it...I'm gonna go make this one a thread of its own.

Hey folks...just had a quick play through a demo I got with a pc gaming magazine, and thought it was worth a mention, simply for the fact that there aren't many games out there like this:
http://www.ra2083.com/
It's a dark, post apocalyptic future kinda game...with EXCELLENT graphics, and an awesome semi-industrial musical score. Nice and freaky, and DAMN!! Again, the graphics on this baby kick ass.

There's multiple screenshots and a demo up @
http://www.ra2083.com/
So follow the link, and trust me on this, d/l the demo and take it for a spin, this will NOT dissapoint you.
I consider this a "must see", so I'll be making it a thread of its own shortly if you want some more sites and info.

Just a quick update to let you all know theres now a TRAILER up fot that awesome looking ps3/xbox 360/pc title I mentioned earlier in the thread "Alan Wake"

Just a lil' bit of the latest gamepsy update that came in my email...

Serious Sam 2 - I never really "liked" the first one...I mean, throwing nothing but droves of enemy after enemy at you didn't really strike me as excellent game making, but I have to admit, it was some good, arcadey frantic fun. I never played through to the end though...From how much I played I can safely say that it was fun, had some nice weapons, and controlled very smoothly under pressure.
The second one looks to have beefed up its graphics BIGTIME. There's also the addition of vehicles this time round, and it looks to have much more structured mission specs, and a slightly more in depth storyline.
Looks good so far, you can check out some videos and screenshots, as well as additional info over at

Got a few new things worth checking out...

*I've posted a little trailer of this one before, all I can say is that it looks very weird, and yeah, I wanna get this one:
http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/katamari-damacy-2/652388p1.html
Check out the screenshots.

*Ultimate Spider-Man: I love the comic series, and I'm gld to see quality looking game come out of it.
http://ultimatespidermangame.com/

*Another Marvel game...this one actually looks VERY good. I haven't read the comics that cover the storyline of this one yet, but yeah, I thin I'll have to check this out: http://ps2.gamespy.com/playstation-2/marvel-vs-ea-working-title/652323p1.html

*GTA3 Pt.0?
Well...kinda...its a game set in liberty city, 3 years prior to the incidents that took place in GTA3. It's thus far only on the PSP, which I don't have and probably won't for a while yet...but this game actually looks pretty damn good, in fact, might be the PSP selling point for a lot of people...I know it's tempting me:

Just bought this one for Gamecube. Havnt had much chance to play it, but from what Ive seen it's damn cool. Controls are a tad annoying, but nothing unbearable.

[ChEEbA]

I just played a demo for a game called "psychotoxic".
For fps fans, you should check this out:
http://www.fileplanet.com/150163/150000/fileinfo/Psychotoxic-Demo-%5BEnglish%5D
If the demo isn't there, try googling it.
Very intense shooter...a little difficult, but overall very good.
It's kind of like Unreal Tournament meets Goldeneye.
Do yourself a favour and check it out...wussies need not apply.
