Gamescom 2012: Game trailer summary - Part 1

Gamescom 2012 is currently on-going at Cologne, Germany and there was just tons of trailers coming out of the event. Instead of continuing the solo posts for each one, I decided to sum it all up in one post for your viewing pleasure. From The Last of Us, Assassin's Creed 3, to a new God of War: Ascension trailer. It's trailers galore!

The Last of Us

 Dead Space 3 Weapon Crafting

This video is more of an explanation really. We know all about co-op as the new feature for Dead Space 3, but now Visceral Games announced weapon crafting. Want a Line Gun with a flamethrower? Boom! You got it.

Crysis 3 Hunter Mode trailer

Crysis 3's Hunter Mode is a new multiplayer mode. Two hunters wearing nanosuits are tasked to prevent a group of Cell soldiers from reaching the extraction point.

ZombiU Gamescom trailer

Sadly, this is the only reason why I want a Wii U.

Assassin's Creed 3 Naval Battles trailer

The Unfinished Swan

You got to love indie games. The Unfinished Swan is a PS3 exclusive and the game is literally a white space. You throw black paint in order to reveal your surroundings. It's one of those games that people wonder if this can be considered art.

Star Wars 1313 gameplay trailer

I haven't been excited for a Star Wars game in a long time. Game looks amazing but it's unusual that until now we have no announcement on 1313's platforms. People are hinting this could be rolled over to next-gen consoles. Either way, can't wait.

God of War: Ascension multiplayer trailer

God of War having multiplayer. I won't bother ranting and just accept it. I hated the fact that Mass Effect 3 was getting a multiplayer, but in the end it turned out as a lot of fun. So I'll just keep quiet because this might turn out fun. Brutally killing another player God of War style does sound good though.

 Planetside 2 trailer

That was quite a handful and I'm pretty sure I'm still missing a couple more trailers and videos. Click out Gamescom archives to have a look at all post related to this year's Gamescom.

Gamescom 2012: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance trailer reveals release date

Konami just released a new trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance at Gamescom 2012. The trailer includes a small amount of new footage, but it does tell us the game's release date.

Funny how they included a hashtag towards the end.

The not so stealthy Metal Gear game will launch on February 19 for NA and Europe, while Japan gets the game on February 21 on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Gamescom 2012: Army of Two: Devil's Cartel trailer

EA just released the first trailer for Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. This is the third Army of Two game and is being developed over at Visceral Games (Dead Space 2 and 3). Salem and Rios are now out of the spotlight, and introduces two new characters running the show. 

With the game running on DICE's Frostbite 2 engine, a new feature called "Overkill mode" lets the player do massive destruction to your enemies for a limited time.  which makes sense to why everything was blowing up left and right in this trailer.

Army of Two: Devil's Cartel is planned for a march 2013 release for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale gets delayed, but new characters confirmed, Vita port comes free with PS3 version

All the new info about PS All-Stars in one post. Originally planned to release at the end of October, Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale gets pushed back to November 20. The reason for the delay are the usual - Game polish and balancing. Don't go all bummed out though, a new trailer was just released during Gamescom 2012 confirming new characters joining the roster.

New Characters confirmed:

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Main Event Trailer

Adding Ape Escape's Spike was a great choice for a game like this. Sackboy and Rachet and Clank were no brainers really. DmC's Dante, I still wish it was the old Dante look.

Have a look at the new characters in action. Sony released trailers for each new character similar to how Capcom revealed each new character from Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Spike trailer

Ratchet and Clank

DmC's Dante trailer

Sackboy trailer

The leaked information taken from the game's beta seems to be somewhat accurate at this point

Sony also mentioned that purchasing the PS3 version(either retail or download) of the game grants you the Vita version of the game for free. Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale will feature cross-platform play allowing PS3 players and Vita players to play with each other. Pretty neat feature. If they implement this to future Sony titles, players will have a good reason to get their own Vita.
