February 21, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 71 Comments

There are way, way too many trailers, demos and next-gen engines from Sony’s PlayStation 4 event – so we though instead of littering the front page we’ll stick them all in one easy to follow post.

I might be getting a little too damn excited for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. One might even say that I’m whoring myself out for the game. But dammit, IT’S MAH BURGIMA! The game is almost out, and the marketing machine is in full swing right now, as a cybernetically enhanced katana blow has just busted open a gushing vein of new trailers. Check ‘em out for yourself.

Flamebait Friday Debate – Do video game trailers get you excited enough to buy a game?

February 17, 2012 at 10:45 am | 28 Comments

When it comes to drumming up some support for an upcoming video game, nothing works better than a slick trailer. We’ve all been a victim to this, and me especially, which is why I’m currently swimming in collectors edition that I otherwise did not truly need.

It’s absolutely amazing what a well constructed trailer can do to an otherwise rational being, as a few minutes of polished gameplay with some snappy track laid over it can easily disguise any flaws in a game.

So here’s the question: Do video game trailers actually get you excited enough to buy the game? Is it the impressive CGI that hooks you? Celebrity endorsements you trust? Dubstep? Let us know below.

Naughty Dog’s first words on The Last of Us

December 13, 2011 at 7:45 am | 20 Comments

The official PlayStation blog caught up with 2 of the guys from Naughty Dog right after the VGA’s and had a quick chat with them about The Last of Us and how they managed to keep it a secret for so long.

Amazingly they’ve had a full second team working on The Last of Us now for a while and no one had picked up that they were creating a full new IP inside the Uncharted studios.

And the Spike TV VGA winners are…

December 12, 2011 at 3:00 pm | 39 Comments

With all the announcements, trailers and celebrity endorsements at the Video Game Awards, it’s easy to forget that it’s actually an awards ceremony. Actually, it’s especially easy to forget - because it seems as the years have gone on, the awards have taken a complete backseat to the PR shenanigans; so much so that the actuals awards bit wasn’t even televised. That’s right - there were hardly any awards handed out at the Video Game Awards; that mostly happened pre show. Really, the Spike VGA’s have become nothing more than a showcase for new games - and sexy trailers of games we already knew about.

I’m not here to moan about the VGA’s though (I’ll leave that to you), but rather to let you know who won awards.  You’ll find the full list of winners after the jump.

Gamescom 2010 : Resistance 3, Killzone 3, Infamous 2, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet 2 Trailers

While the Mass Effect 2 surprise has eclipsed most other announcements it wasn’t like the Sony press conference was a total bore. We have scoured the net to try and find all the trailers for the big hitting titles that were announced and they are all now viewable in one place..

The Resistance 3 one is incredibly creepy and really well done and it seems to confirm a New York setting.
