Capcoms take on Skyrim is almost here

I’m not sure whether Capcom’s trying to be a rebel, or a Rockstar, but someone needs to tell these guys their game isn’t out yet. Either way, it looks promising, it reminds me of a third person only Skyrim with far tighter gameplay, and a bigger emphasis on combat, early reviews seem to be positive too, with GameInformer leading the charge with a score of 85%

Additional items of note that you actually already know (if you watched the trailer) purchasing Dragon’s Dogma grants you early access to the Resident Evil 6 demo, and speaking of demos Dragon’s Dogma’s demo is already up on PSN, and XBL to help you better judge whether to pick up Capcoms open world fantasy when it releases on Ps3, and Xbox 360 May 22nd.

Depression, explosions, full head of hair, blood, gunshots, drugs, emotional obstacles, bald, alcohol, uncertainty, beautiful graphics, regrown hair, rough cops, slow-mo bullet time, flash baldness, deep character narration, love, woman screaming.

There you go, I just summed up…I dunno 73.8% of Max Payne 3′s ‘launch’ trailer, and by launch trailer I mean, why the hell did you release your launch trailer 5 days before Max Payne 3′s actual release Rockstar? SEMANTICS ARE SERIOUS BUSINESS R*! But seriously this trailer is great, very visually pleasing, interesting, and it’s simply a good way to market what’s bound to be another AAA Rockstar production (that’s right, I can be a nice guy too)

Here’s Rockstars official description for Max Payne 3′s launch trailer:

“For Max Payne, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, Max takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.”

Max Payne 3 is hitting the Ps3, and Xbox 360 May 15th.

I’m sure many of you have no doubt seen the episode of Family Guy, where Stewie, and Brian jump through different parallel dimensions, now Activision has confirmed they’re making a game based on the episode.

Back To The Multiverse will thankfully make use of Family Guys voice actors, and writers for what’s promised by Activision to be a hilarious uncensored good time. What I find brilliant about the concept, is in addition to leveraging a popular Family Guy episode, ‘Back To The Multiverse’ gives both the developers, and writers a ton of freedom, since literally any: situation, gameplay element, joke, or plot point can be worked into a game where the basis is “visiting different universes”

Not much is known beyond ‘Family Guy: Back To The Multiverse’ right now, but continue reading for the press release.
