There are a couple things you'll likely notice when you watch this new trailer for the next installment in the Ghost Recon franchise. First off it's pretty clear that Ubisoft has been watching the piles of money that Activision has been raking in because the style definitely feels a lot like what we've seen from Call of Duty. However while much of it feels Call of Duty-ish, there's still tons of Ghost Recon in there to make it different.
The first thing most people think of with Ghost Recon is tons of awesome gadgets and Future Soldier is definitely no slouch. You'll see active camouflage, flying drones, thermal vision and even something that allows these soldiers to look through walls. Surely this is just the beginning of some of the cool toys that Future Soldier is going to let you play with.
Ghost Recon Future Soldier is set to release on May 22 in North America and May 24 in Europe for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version will launch at a later date.
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is set to drop players into a three-sided battle between the US Spec Ops team, the Umbrella Security Service and the vicious zombies plaguing the city. Apart from being just able to choose which (human) side to play as, one of the more interest aspects is that each side has its own interesting character with various abilities.
This new video gives a better look at each class in the game, six total for each side. Even though both sides share the same six classes: Assault, Recon, Medic, Surveillance, Field Scientist and Demolition, it does appear that each side will still retain different abilities within each class. Just one more reason why this genre-switch of the Resident Evil franchise is looking like something cool.
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is set to release on March 20 in North America and March 23 in Europe for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version is also slated to launch at a later date.
One of the benefits to getting a massive game like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PC is the incredibly robust modding community. In the months since Skyrim's release modders have already done impressive things like improving textures, adding more content and changing dragons into flying versions of Macho Man Randy Savage. All of this has been done without any modding tools.
One of the things Bethesda is known for is releasing impressive modding tools and their upcoming Creation Kit is no doubt going to invigorate Skyrim with even better mods. While there still isn't a firm release for the Creation Kit, we have just received a video going through some of the things we can expect from it. The coolest part is by far the integration with Steam Workshop, a way to esily upload and download mods right from within Steam. Check out the new video below.
The Darkness II is right around the corner and 2K Games has released another video to whet the appetite of hungry quad-wielders. This short snippet shows off even more brutal executions that protagonist Jackie Estacado can pull off with his giant demon arms. Needless to say the different executions you can pull off are equal parts awesome and gory.
The Darkness II releases next week on February 7 in North America and February 10 in Europe for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
It's less than two months until Mass Effect 3 is released and if you're anything like me, you're in full "don't let anything get spoiled about Mass Effect 3" mode. Usually I avoid any teasers or trailers this close to release but the trailer sent out today by Bioware focuses on the voice cast for Mass Effect 3 and stays away from any potential major spoilers. We get a little behind-the-scenes action with some returning favorites like Seth Green and Martin Sheen as well as newcomers Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jessica Chobot.
Interestingly enough, Freddie Prinze Jr.'s character looks nothing like him while Jessica Chobot's is a mirror image. Good job Bioware. Now I have to choose between Ashley, Miranda or Chobot in the love department. Thanks for the extra headache.
Mass Effect 3 is set to release March 6 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in North America and on March 9 in Europe.
Check out the video below and let us know if you're as excited as us here at TAG to get your hands on it.
