Gamer’s Day Coverage
Oct 18, 2007 // christine
This week, Capcom headed to London to host Gamer’s Day. We broke some MAJOR news and announced the development of some long-awaited titles. From the incredible new next-gen Bionic Commando® and long-awaited Street Fighter® 4 to Dark Voidâ„¢ and Talismanâ„¢, we’ve got a lot in store!
Bionic Commando®
Returning from a more than 20 year hiatus, one of the most fondly-remembered and oft-demanded Capcom characters returns in next-gen 3D form!
Making an amazing leap and swinging into the next generation of gaming, Bionic Commando® combines the genius of the bionic arm mechanic with the power of next generation hardware.
Gamespot has the answers to all of your Bionic Commando questions, so head on over to Gamespot and then come back and discuss what you want to see in the new Bionic Commando® on the Capcom Unity Forum .
You can also keep updated at the official Bionic Commando® website . Commando 3â„¢ Lock and Load! Commando 3 takes the no-holds-barred arcade spirit of its predecessors and crafts an all-new furious cooperative shooting adventure for the next generation!
Available on Xbox LIVE® Arcade, PLAYSTATION®Network this winter, Commnado 3 gives you a huge arsenal of weaponry, controllable vehicles, and a rag-tag group of specialized soldiers, each with their own unique characteristics. Up to three players can enjoy the classic arcade-style experience together on a single console or online.
Commando 3 even compensates for the multiplayer mode by dynamically shifting difficulty levels based on the number of players in the game, ensuring that the game always poses a challenge. The Commando 3 soundtrack is being created by Norihiko Hibino, an international composer well-known for his work creating music for the Metal Gear series of games.
With a comprehensive scoring system and online leaderboards, players can see how they compare to the best digital soldiers in the world! Talismanâ„¢ Also coming to Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PLAYSTATION®Network this winter, Talismanâ„¢, based on Games Workshop‒s classic board game, is the quintessential fantasy hybrid board/role-playing game for up to four players, either online or offline.
The game takes place in a fantasy realm and is based very closely on the board game through a 3D representation of the map with animated movements and in-game events.
Characters are fully animated as they walk about the board, attack other creatures, cast beautiful effect-laden spells and use objects to enhance their actions. The highly anticipated 4th Edition of the board game is due for release from Games Workshop‒s Black Industries imprint in October 2007.
This new title is being developed in partnership with Camelot Software Planning, best known for developing successful sports games for home systems, including Hot Shots Golf and the Mario Golf series.
In this realistic golfing experience with a fresh new spin incorporating the Wii Remote‒s unique motion-sensing functionality, use the controller to choose clubs, line up shots, swing and even add a touch fade or draw with a flick of the wrist. Just as on a real course, gauging wind conditions, correct club selection and careful reading of the greens are all essential for victory. A variety of game modes, multiple characters, and unlockable content will provide endless hours of putting heaven.
Dark Void™ Dark Void™ is a highly innovative action title in development with platforms being confirmed shortly. Developed by Airtight Games, Dark Void will deliver a groundbreaking combination of fast-paced vertical combat mixed with mid-air and on-foot action. Currently scheduled for release in winter 2008, the Dark Void sci-fi story is engaging: Something is consuming our universe, a vast and ancient force almost beyond our comprehension. Millions of years ago, the minions of that power found their way to the 3rd planet of an unremarkable yellow star. Ours. The race they created came to call their masters “The Watchers.†For millennia we knew them as gods and served their dark purposes, but a few humans developed extraordinary powers. They were known as the Adepts and they rose up, banishing The Watchers into a parallel universe, where they‒ve manipulated and schemed from afar. Until now.
Other titles shown at the Gamer’s Day convention include Devil May Cry® 4 , Lost Planetâ„¢:Extreme Condition for the PLAYSTATION®3 system, Okamiâ„¢ for the Wii, Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix for Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PLAYSTATION®Network, Zack & Wikiâ„¢: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure, Ace Attorneyâ„¢: Apollo Justice, Mega Man ® ZX Advent, Resident Evil ® : The Umbrella Chronicles, and the newly announced Street Fighter® 4!
