Far Cry 3 gets an E3 teaser trailer

Far Cry 3 is one of those games that I just hope it succeeds. The reveal of the game in last year's E3 was epic. I played the last Far Cry and lost interest mid-way through the game. Hopefully this won't be the case for the third installment because the character Vaas(The crazy guy) is just a great character and will come out as a waste. With E3 only a week away, Ubisoft released a teaser trailer to get you all excited for Far cry 3 during their conference.

The teaser trailer doesn't really excite me for the game but rather got me excited to what Ubisoft has in store for this year's E3. Hopefully this year they will give us a host that won't make us cringe during the event.

Far Cry 3 is not that far away. It's set for a September 4 release for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Rumor - Konami to reveal Castlevania: Lord of Shadows sequel?

It is rumored that Konami is set to reveal a sequel to Castlevania: Lord of Shadows on May 31. A teaser website is up with a URL titled "TheDragonReturns", and a door with some sort of Gothic look with the 31.05.12 date above it. If this rumor comes out true, Konami just gave a sequel to a Castlevania game that is not really Castlevania. 

Some people looked inside the coding of the site and found interesting codes named "CLOS teaser". A Lord of Shadows sequel is definitely possible. Konami's pre- E3 conference is also scheduled on the same day placed on the teaser, so were definitely getting a reveal of a new game at the end of the month.

It is also rumored that this game will be released for the Wii - U and possibly for the PS Vita.

I played Castlevania: Lord of Shadows from start to finish, and yes I did enjoy it. But it's not Castlevania at all - Just a God of War-like game with Castlevania placed in front of the title screen. I'd pick the old school Castlevania 2D platform style any day and I'm sure hardcore fans of the series would also agree. Does anybody even want a sequel to Lords of Shadows?

We'll soon find out next week. Stay tuned.

E3 2012 Tomb Raider teaser trailer

The Tomb Raider reboot may have been  pushed back to 2013, but Square Enix is definitely going to showcase the game in E3 next month. Game Trailers, just like last year, will be  having a pre-E3 show blasting us tons of E3 exclusives to get us all hyped for this year's E3, and to start things off they have a Tomb Raider trailer to reveal next thursday(May 31) with actual gameplay. To get us all excited, they released a 30 second tease showing what to expect in the full trailer.

I'm liking where Crystal Dynamic is taking the Tomb Raider series. The setting, the game's concept of survival, and the change in Lara Croft in general. But actual gameplay footage is still rare. Gameplay demo of Tomb Raider was featured in last year's E3 showing gameplay for the first time, but wasn't enough to give you an idea on what you'll be doing throughout the whole game. The game is all about Lara Croft surviving and of course combat, which we still have not seen. So hopefully the trailer next week will fill that void.

Tomb Raider was pushed back to early 2013

Mass Effect 3's new DLC adds more content to multiplayer

Bioware continues to support Mass Effect 3's multiplayer by announcing the mode's second DLC. Best part of this announcement is that this comes out free for those that have redeemed the online pass included in the game. The DLC comes out on May 29 in all platforms(May 30 for PSN Europe).

Compared to the first free DLC released, this one brings a lot more content. Rebellion Pack adds two new map - Firebase Jade’s jungle reservoir and Firebase Goddess on Thessia. Three weapons were also included - Reegar Carbine, Krysae Sniper Rifle, and Cerberus Harrie. Together with six new playable characters to level up - Quarian engineer and infiltrator, Vorcha soldier and sentinel, and ex-Cerberus adept and vanguard. The pack will also include a new mission objective that happens on waves 3, 6, and 10.

Rebellion Pack will also add a new gear slot to further customize your character before pressing that deploy button.

This is pretty rare. Bioware giving content for free. But hey, were not complaining, keep it coming. The free DLC don't stop there for Mass Effect 3. Bioware is currently working on an extended cut of the campaign's ending and will also come as a free DLC.  Almost 90% of the Mass Effect community hated the how their beloved series ended and strongly suggests Bioware to make a change or extend the ending for closure. With enough push, it's actually happening now.

Lost Planet 3 gameplay seen on Capcom Germany

Capcom Germany revealed first gameplay footage of Lost Planet 3. Its 4-minutes long and it's not looking like Lost Planet at all. Aside from the frozen world and aliens with glowing weak points, you have a game that feels more like Dead Space mixed with some Gears of War. The reveal trailer did show some promise. Hopefully they are hiding something to get us all excited for the third installment. But for now, I'm a bit worried on how this will turn out.

Take note that Lost Planet 3 isn't being developed in Capcom. Spark's Unlimited is working on it and is definitely giving the game a whole different feel. Not impressed one bit.

Lost Planet 3 might be released early 2013 for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
