New Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City Trailer That Needs Your Attention

/

Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City Capcom just released a lengthy CG trailer with the USS and Spec-Ops soldiers meeting for the first time. A full on gunfight starts and it becomes a three-way fight between the USS, Spec-Ops and the infected. It clocks at five minutes and its a trailer worth watching. Who would have thought all this happening during Resident Evil 2?

The game will be out on March 20, 2012 for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Its a four player co-op game with players able to run and shoot for the first time in a Resident Evil game. Still not sure if I want this game, but the trailer sure got me thinking about it.

 

CD-RKing Gaming Capture Box (Addendum)

Narutard 1 After spending some time with the program that came with the capture device. I took a few screen shots, and recorded some videos using each of the formats available. Here are the results.

Video

For the videos I played Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 because that game can have so much stuff happening on screen at the same time while being so vibrant makes it fitting for a video test to see if the hardware or software chugs.

Screenshots

As for the screenshots, I took some screens in UMvC3 and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.

 

Note: The TV I was using during the capture of these videos and images was a Panasonic CRT TV. I have not yet confirmed if the image quality would look better if captured while playing on an HDTV.

/

Not sure if you want to play Final Fantasy XIII-2? Well a demo is coming to let you decide before release. The demo is hitting PSN and Xbox live next week.

It was officially announced by Square Enix that a demo was coming. The demo will be out on January 11 for free on the PS3 and Xbox 360. While I'm not that excited for Final Fantasy XIII-2's release, I'll still give the demo a try. You never know, feeling the changes done to the game first-hand might get me interested in the end... but I doubt it.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be out on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 31, 2012.

Thank You Firaxis, XCOM: Enemy Unknown Announced

You have no idea how happy I am with this announcement. The classic strategy game is being recreated. This is the reboot XCOM fans want. Game Informer revealed the game's existence by making it as their front cover of their first issue of the year.

The XCOM shooter announced last year is its own game. While 2K has their own plans for their XCOM game, Firaxis Studio has a different plan - Bringing the classic back by recreating the famous strategy game. The studio knows their strategy games, they are the developers of the Civilization games so XCOM fans, the game is in good hands.

It’s been a dream of ours to recreate X-COM with our unique creative vision. We’re huge fans of the original game and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-envision a game that is as beloved as X-COM,” said Firaxis head Steve Martin.

“We were careful to keep XCOM: Enemy Unknown true to the elements that made X-COM such a revered game while delivering an entirely new story and gameplay experience for both die-hard X-COM fans and newcomers to the franchise.

 

Here's a video showing gameplay of the old XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

 

It's coming out this fall for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Thanks Gameinformer for revealing the news. You just made my day. Can't wait to play XCOM once again.
