Rumor: Halo Movie to be developed in 2012 and Steven Spielberg has something to do with it

A film adaptation is set in 2012. It will be conducted jointly by two heavyweights of American cinema: Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks.

Yeah. Sure. As a producer: it’s possible because “the Beard” has a lot of upcoming directorial projects on the horizon (the Lincoln biopic and the very-interesting Roboapocalypse). Still, this sounds pretty BS to me.

What do you guys think?

New Uncharted 3 Gameplay Videos

Just one of those friendly reminders that an Uncharted game is coming in less than a month, and it will be glorious and spectacular.

Technically these aren’t “new” but more of extended versions of previous Uncharted 3 videos. They’re also running using the final build of the game so that kind of makes ‘em new in some ways. Still, does it really matter? It’s more Uncharted 3 goodness and I don’t think there’s any reason we can complain, right?

CAUTION: New Sony Ad Causes Nerdgasms

Sony has set the bench mark high with this appreciation commercial to its fans. A few days ago Kevin Butler teased us with a short clip, but it did not prepare us for what was exactly in that room.

Yakuza “Of The End” officially announced for North America and Europe

Remember the Yakuza spin-off game with zombies that was released in Japan a few months back? Well now it’s officially coming to US/Europe and it’ll be called Yakuza: Dead Souls. Check out the announcement trailer after the cut.

If you are a devoted follower of the Yakuza franchise– you should be aware that the game (according to various reports) isn’t nearly as impressive as the previous Yakuza games. In short, don’t expect a lot in case you’re looking forward to it. Plus remember: it’s a spin-off and not “part 5″.

RUMOR: Rare, Lionhead and Turn 10 are preparing games for the next Xbox

Obviously nobody knows whether this is bull or not, but the rumored “720″ will be released sometime in 2013 thanks to the latest, British published Xbox 360 magazine known as Xbox World:

The latest issue of Xbox World is reporting via the rumor section that a number of Microsoft developers are currently prepping a wave of brand new titles for the unannounced successor to the Xbox 360.

According to the November 2011 edition of the publication, a notable selection of high-profile development studios are now in the process of manning big-budget teams for a bout of new games for the Xbox 720.

Recent rumors floating about include the possibility that Turn 10 are hard at work on Forza 5 for the fabled next generation console, in addition to powerhouse developer Epic supposedly developing Gears of War 4 as a launch title for the device – tantalizingly rumored to be pegged in for a 2013 release.

Gears of War 4… as a launch title!? Why the hell not, that would be very-very interesting. Believe.

 

Konami Officially Announces Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Limited Edition for North America

It’s essentially the game (of course), a specialized packaging created by series artist Yoji Shinkawa, and a
248 page exclusive “The Art of Metal Gear Solid” artbook.

The price? A whopping $79.99 according to Amazon. That’s awfully a lot considering that most Limited Editions — especially the ones that are just simply attached with an artbook — would cost probably 10-20 bucks higher than the standard MSRP.

Personally, I’m still undecided if I’m going to nab this as soon as it comes out. That’s mainly because (A) there’s a lot of games that are coming out this November. In short– my wallet’s going to receive a lot of beating, no shit. And (B) repeat letter A and keep reminding in your head also about “time”, schedules and so forth.

A Bunch of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Trailers

IGN just released 3 brand new videos of Link’s upcoming adventure this November. And, not much of a surprise here unless you loathe the franchise, but they look just as pretty as what you would normally expect from Eiji Aonuma and his crew.

Admittedly, I’m very excited to play this game even though the hype isn’t nearly as equal as Twilight Princess when it was being released during the Wii’s launch, in my opinion at least. I know even some fans out there aren’t “feeling” the Zelda-ness, and I can’t blame them because Nintendo hasn’t been showing a lot of the major good stuff lately. Then the big presentation of Skyward Sword happened a few weeks ago during Nintendo’s 3DS Conference (you know, the footage with the Shadow of Colossus-esque boss sequence)… and suddenly people started to get excited again.

REVIEW: X-Men: Destiny

X-Men Destiny [x-men-des-tuh-nee]

1. A very short, repetitive, and uninspired third person action RPG created by Silicon Knights.

2. A game with horrible fighting animations that cause you to get hit while your character is finishing them.

3. An unfinished mess; an insult to those who purchase this game.

Sony Japan is making an Uncharted 3 seven-minute TV drama

…and it’ll air next week in Japan (October 4th, US time). We wish we were making this up because this sounds ridiculously funny, but here’s the original news source which isn’t really saying much.

For the record: Do NOT expect Nathan Fillion or Marky Mark in this one.
