SDCC 2015: The Full Trailer For ‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Is Here, And Exciting As Hell!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’ve felt a little iffy about Fear The Walking Dead since the companion series was first revealed. Sure, the world wants as much The Walking Dead as it can get (you do know that there’s a comic book and incredible video game too, right?), but would this series simply be the same show in a different location, and without the survivors we already know and love?

Hell no. After having an opportunity to speak with the cast and producers of the series at San Diego Comic-Con this week (more on that this August), my qualms have disappeared, and I’m now simply excited to see where East Los Angeles, and the beginnings of the infection take this dysfunctional blended family.

The first full trailer for the series has just been revealed, and it does a phenomenal job of setting up the six-episode first season. We see a great deal of the character’s lives before any incident, followed by just a few of the things that they go through after the world, well, ends.

It looks very cool, and I really can’t wait for its August 23rd premiere. Take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

SDCC 2015: Watch The Incredible Comic-Con Reel For ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I have to say, tonight’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens panel may have been worth the 24+ hour wait for Hall H.

Disney has officially released the 3+ minute featurette for the film that was shown during tonight’s panel, and if you’re one of those weird people that was on the fence about new Star Wars titles, the behind-the-scenes looks, and the incredible passion that emanates from everyone involved in the video should definitely raise your excitement. If it doesn’t, I’m really sorry, but there may be something wrong with you.

Incredibly, following the panel, JJ Abrams revealed that everyone in attendance would be escorted by Storm Troopers to a secret location where they would be treated to the music of Star Wars as performed by the San Diego Symphony. The concert concluded with an amazing fireworks display that was beyond impressive, even from my hotel window.

Not a bad reward for standing in line for over a day, huh?

Those of us that didn’t will have to settle for this still-awesome reel. Take a look below, and let us know what you think!

SDCC 2015: Legendary Comics Announces ‘Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood’ Graphic Novel!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is exciting.

I was a huge fan of the prequel graphic novels for Legendary’s Pacific Rim and Godzilla, and I was hoping that their next massive, tentpole release, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft, would be getting the same treatment.

Well, my wish has been granted, as Legendary has just revealed that next year’s Warcraft will receive a prequel graphic novel titled Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood.

Story information for the book has bot been revealed at this point, but the “thrilling adventure of bravery, bloodshed and brotherhood is an original story conceived by Blizzard’s Chris Metzen, written by the award-winning Paul Cornell (Doctor Who) and featuring art from Mat Broome (Batman: No Man’s Land, WildC.A.T.S., Witchblade).”

The book is scheduled for release just a few weeks before the film hits theatres, in May 2016.

We’ll be sure to share more info as soon as it’s available, but for now, take a look at the key art below, and let us know if you’re excited! Legendary has a huge presence at this year’s convention, so stay tuned for more, straight from the show floor.

Geekscape’s San Diego Comic-Con Schedule 2015!

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s finally, finally here!

No, not SDCC, dummy. You’ll have to wait until Wednesday for that. I’m talking about the booth info and signing schedule for the Geekscape booth!

We’ve met so, so many of you over the years, and the greatest things about San Diego Comic-Con each year isn’t the panels, exclusives, celebrities, or parties, but honestly seeing ‘Scapists, new and old, at our booth, catching up, and really feeling the culture that we try all year to create. We always meet some new friends, gain a few writers, and all around have a good time, and that’s what Geekscape is all about.

There’s always a lot of new stuff going on at Geekscape. We’re about to launch a new design of the site, we’ve got some great new shorts up on GeekscapeTV (especially from our new correspondent El Chucho), and launched two new podcasts in the last year; Geekscape Games, the awesome yet unfortunately sporadic video game oriented podcast that I’m a co-host of, and the brand new Horror Movie Club podcast, which is, naturally, all about horror films.

Of course, we’ve got some pretty cool stuff going on at SDCC too. We’ll be in the same, familiar booth as last year, #3919 (right across from Legendary Entertainment), and have an awesome signing schedule which you can find below.

The First Episode Of ‘Real Fake History’ Recounts The Battle Of Endor!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I think I’ve found a new favourite YouTube series.

A few days back, Machinima launched Real Fake History, a 10-episode series that parodies the History Channel with “Ken Burns style,” shorts. The series recounts the greatest fictional battles and most inspiring stories in movies, TV, and video games, and it’s freaking awesome.

A new episode will launch every Tuesday, and will deliver the never before seen tales of those who witnessed these defining fictional moments.

I was laughing out loud throughout the deadpan first episode, and I really can’t wait to see what happens next week. In this week’s short, learn how “the Milennium Falcon’s mission was almost undone by two co-pilots who had no idea what Nien Numb was saying.”

https://youtu.be/yNOBHZ7FYUE

What else are we in store for this season? Here’s the full list of episodes:

Star Wars: The Battle of Endor

While Rebels and Ewoks fought hand-in-paw, the Milennium Falcon’s mission was almost undone by two co-pilots who had no idea what Nien Numb was saying.

 

Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out

Witness the exclusive, never before seen tale of Little Mac’s rise to champion of the Video Game Boxing Association, and the life-altering costs.

 

The Avengers: Battle of New York City

Super-powered heroes fight for Earth during an alien invasion, but the true stories of loss and heroism happened to regular folks on the ground and in the office buildings Hulk destroyed.

 
Pacific Rim: The Battle of Hong Kong

The Captain of a docked oil tanker is the unintended victim of Jaeger robot Gypsy Danger’s last-ditch defense of Hong Kong.

 

The Dark Knight Rises: Taking Back Gotham City

Military experts weigh in on the tactical benefits of the Gotham Police Department’s unarmed charge towards Bane’s entrenched defensive position.

 

Kill Bill: Massacre At The House of Blue Leaves

On paper, Beatrix Kiddo shouldn’t have had a prayer against the entire Crazy 88s. Medical experts and eyewitness account tell the story of the Crazy 88s literal dismemberment at the hands of The Bride.

 

Starship Troopers: Disaster on Klendathu

The Federation’s assault on the Arachnid planet Klendaathu was a disaster that cost the lives of 308,563 human troops. When you practice on human targets and take hot co-ed showers every day, how can you be good at killing bugs?

 

Starcraft 2: Eugene vs. Jay

When two roommates decide to take their rivalry to the battlefield, only one Terran or Zerg army will survive the fight… or will they?

 

Game of Thrones: The Battle of Castle Black

We examine the lives of the Wilding Giants caught in the needless maelstrom of violence during the Battle of Castle Black.

 

The Walking Dead: Woodbury’s Assault on the Prison

In the middle of a deadly, calculated attack on Rick Grimes and his allies, Michonne discovers two unlikely zombies brought together by fate.

I’m especially looking forward to that Pacific Rim episode, how about you?

‘Rick And Morty’ Returns On July 26th, Watch The First Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Rick and Morty is almost here!

The animated series from Community‘s Dan Harmon and House of Cosbys’ Justin Roiland follows a sociopathic scientist who drags his unintelligent grandson on insanely dangerous adventures across the universe, and it’s absolutely freaking hilarious.

If you haven’t seen the show, I’d implore you to give it a shot. It’s one of the funniest things that I’ve seen on Adult Swim in some time, and Harmon and Roiland have created an absolute masterpiece. Seriously, the parodies and homages here are beyond perfect.

Back when it was renewed, Harmon said that “I am excited to make as much Rick and Morty as Adult Swim allows, and I’m relieved to be in a time slot of no strategic value to CBS”, while Roiland added “I am humbled and super excited by the positive response to the show, and we have no shortage of ideas for future episodes.” So hopefully that means this year won’t be the last we see of the series.

You can take a look at the brand new trailer below, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited! Rick and Morty returns on July 26th!

Three Times The Nado: Watch A New Trailer For ‘Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I am way too excited about this movie.

Yep, it looks fucking awful, just like the first two. But it also looks completely, undeniably, awesome, just like the first two. And with David Hasselhoff and likely a bunch of other unexpected cameos, July 22nd really can’t come soon enough.

Today, a new trailer for Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No debuted online. I think that I laughed more times during this trailer than during the last comedy that I saw, and that’s saying something. It would be really tough to not applaud Syfy here, for turing something that must have started as a joke, into a freaking trilogy.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know how you’re planning for the next Sharknado.

Watch Two New Promos For ‘Scream Queens’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Well this looks completely ridiculous, and totally awesome.

Fox has just debuted two new promos for Ryan Murphy’s highly anticipated Glee and American Horror Story follow up, Scream Queens.

“Wallace University is rocked by a string of murders. Kappa House, the most sought-after sorority for pledges, is ruled with an iron fist (in a pink glove) by its Queen Bitch, Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts). But when anti-Kappa Dean Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) decrees that sorority pledging must be open to all students, and not just the school’s silver-spooned elite, all hell is about to break loose, as a devil-clad killer begins wreaking havoc, claiming one victim, one episode at a time. Part black comedy, part slasher flick, ‘Scream Queens’ is a modern take on the classic whodunit, in which every character has a motive for murder…or could easily be the next blood-soaked casualty.”

The show is set to premiere on September 22nd, and with an all-star cast including Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis, this one is sure to do well ratings wise. As a fan of both Glee and American Horror Story, I can’t wait to see what sort of messed up world Murphy has come up with this time around.

Take a look at the promos below, and let us know what you hope to see in the series!

‘Deadpool’ Looks Bad-Ass In New Photo!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Along with those brand new The Walking Dead season six photos, EW has just debuted a new image of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.

And he looks so freaking cool.

The article reiterates that Reynolds has been looking to play the character for over a decade, and that this time around, it’s really, really Deadpool, and not that crap that we saw back in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Producer Simon Kinberg is also very adamant that “Deadpool is a hard R,” which is beyond exciting for fans. Take a look at the new image below, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited for the feature. Deadpool hits theatres on February 12, 2016!

New ‘The Walking Dead’ Season Six Images Feature Daryl, Glen, Maggie!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re about a week away from seeing the first trailer for The Walking Dead‘s sixth season (it’s likely coming at Comic-Con), and AMC today debuted the first three images from the upcoming season.

Sure, they’re totally boring and not nearly as cool as the SDCC poster for Fear the Walking Dead, but WOOHOO WALKING DEAD!? Right? No?

In any case, you can take a look at the images below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see next season, The Walking Dead season six premieres in October!

Here’s The Awesome Comic-Con Poster For ‘Fear The Walking Dead’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: So this poster is awesome.

AMC today debuted the official San Diego Comic-Con poster for this Summer’s anticipated The Walking Dead spinoff, Fear The Walking Dead. We’re bound to see this poster everywhere next week, as The Walking Dead typically has a huge presence at the convention.

We know the series is set in Los Angeles, and this poster features a pretty big LA landmark, along with the tagline ‘fear begins here’. The ominous footprints are what really make the image, however, as those are clearly not the steps of a regular, un-infected human.

Take a look at the image below, and let us know what you think! Fear The Walking Dead premieres later this Summer!

Geekscape Mobile: ‘Pokémon Shuffle’ Headed To iOS, Android

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: One of Nintendo’s first forays into free-to-play is 3DS hit Pokémon Shuffle. The game launched back in January, and since then, over 4.5 million players have downloaded the insanely addicting puzzler.

Today, Nintendo revealed that the game is set to take over the hearts, minds, and batteries of smartphone users everywhere when Pokémon Shuffle hits iOS and Android devices later this year. Just like the 3DS version, the game will be free-to-play (with in-app purchases, of course), though the mobile edition will also be ad-supported.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, it plays pretty similar to Bejewelled or Candy Crush, except it’s way, way better. In the game, “your goal is to clear various stages by lining up the same Pokémon and clearing these matches from the puzzle area. Within each puzzle stage, you can deal damage to the wild Pokémon you face by lining up three of the same Pokémon to clear them. Battle and try to catch the Pokémon before you run out of moves.”

Take a look at the Pokémon Shuffle Mobile trailer below, and let us know if you’re excited!

The ‘Amiibo Rap’ ‘Pokérap’ Parody Is Freaking Perfect

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As an avid Amiibo hunter, this video was too hilarious not to share.

Many readers will remember the famous Pokérap from the insanely popular anime series, and YouTube creator D-Piddy has taken the gotta-catch-’em-all mentality of many Amiibo collectors and created the perfect mix of the two.

Take a look below, and get ready to have the tune in your head forever. You’re welcome, and I’m sorry.

New ‘Ant-Man’ Clip Shows The Suit In Action!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the sweet international trailer from just last week, Marvel has just debuted the first official clip for next month’s Ant-Man.

I’ve been pretty on-the-fence on the film since its troubled production began, and especially following that less-than-stellar first trailer. It’s been a long time coming, however, and as the release approaches, the film’s ever improving marketing has definitely been raising my interest, and at this point I can’t wait to line-up on July 17th.

Today’s clip marks the first time that Paul Rudd uses the Ant-Man suit, and it’s pretty freaking awesome.

In the film, “Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world”

Take a look at the clip below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see from the feature! Ant-Man hits theatres on July 17th!

New International ‘Ant-Man’ Trailer Features A Ton Of New Footage!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Marvel’s Ant-Man is now just a few weeks away from theatres, and the studio has began to turn its marketing machine up to 11. Following the new poster from just a few days back, a new international trailer has just debuted, featuring a ton of fresh, fresh footage, and a batch of new laughs to boot.

In the film, “Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world”

‘Perception’ Is Coming, And It Looks Phenomenal!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I am so excited.

Last month, we featured a unique-as-hell looking game called Perception in our ‘Crowdfund This’ column. I also talked about the game extensively on Geekscape Games (probably more than once), and I’m happy to say that the game finished its Kickstarter campaign with $168,041 of its $150,000 goal.

That means the game is funded, and will definitely be released. Aw yiss.

Crafted by new studio The Deep End Games, which it turns out is made up of a lot of ex-Bioshock dev Irrational Games employees, the game is “a first-person narrative horror adventure that tells the story of Cassie, a blind heroine who uses her extraordinary hearing and razor-sharp wits to unravel the mysteries of an abandoned estate that haunts her dreams. The gameplay has Cassie using echolocation to see, which amounts to some extremely original mechanics, and potential for some absolutely gut-wrenching scares.”

The game’s campaign just finished, and the developers released the following thank-you note:

We are completely overwhelmed, overjoyed and humbled at the reception our game has received. This has been the most exciting, exhilarating month and we have you to thank.

 

We are so proud to be able to make this game thanks to you. Words cannot express the level of gratitude and sheer joy this has brought us, and we can’t wait to make this game and put it in your hands!

 

Moving forward, we will keep you all posted regarding what’s going on with Perception. We can’t wait to show you more footage, screen shots, excerpts and more.

A few weeks back, the developer announced that acclaimed comic writer Joshua Fialkov (check out my Emerald City Comic-Con interview with him here) was joining the team, which skyrocketed my already astronomical excitement for the title. Two new modes for the game have also just been revealed, ‘Silent Night’, and ‘Mode 7’. You can take a look at footage from each below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the game!

Watch A New Teaser For ‘Fear The Walking Dead’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re finally less than two months away from the highly anticipated premiere of AMC’s Fear The Walking Dead, and today the network debuted a new, 30-second spot for the upcoming series.

In the video, an upset boy talks of ‘reports in five states’, and of people killing each other, and naturally… the adult tells him not to worry about it.

Are you looking forward to the series? I’m really excited to explore the beginning of the outbreak, and see just how the world becomes, well, the world from The Walking Dead.

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know what you think! Fear The Walking Dead debuts this August!

New ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5’ Dev Diary Details Create-A-Park & More!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I was a big fan of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series until it got awful. There’s no sports game, singular or series, that I’ve spent more hours with, but after the first Tony Hawk’s Underground, the series quickly turned from stellar to abysmal. Even Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD was disappointing, bringing over beloved stages, but leaving behind the classic physics and incredible soundtrack.

Tony is aware of the series’ missteps, and is looking to fix them with the series next game. Following the first footage of the game last week at E3, a new developer diary has just debuted which notes the game’s online play, park creator, and much more.

Now, I’m really excited for this. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 is the first game in the series in years that has actually piqued my interest. I’m not sure that I dig the new ‘slam down’ mechanic, but I’ll try not to judge it before I get my hands on it.

Are you looking forward to the resurgence of the series? Sound out below!

‘Agent 47’ Gets An Action-Packed New Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Alright, as not good as 2007’s Hitman was, this year’s reboot looks pretty bad-ass, and as neat as it would have been to see Paul Walker in the role of Agent 47, Rupert Friend looks like he’s killing it.

Fox has just debuted a new trailer for the film, riding on the coattails of last week’s Hitman E3 announcement, and it’s filled with action-packed new footage that actually really excites me for the August release.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! Agent 47 hits theatres on August 21st!

Where Are The Heroes: Watch A New Teaser For ‘Heroes Reborn’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: As a huge fan of Heroes initial four season run (yes, I watched it all the way through), I was beyond excited when NBC announced Heroes Reborn in February of last year. The first series ended with an infuriating cliffhanger, and after a resolution was promised via a film, and then via comic book, and then essentially never spoken about again, I thought that surely the universe of Heroes was simply dead.

And then Heroes Reborn was announced, and people like Jack Coleman and Masi Oka were confirmed to return, and I’ve pretty much been squealing with anticipation ever since.

Today, NBC debuted a new teaser for the series, and while it doesn’t feature any actual footage, it certainly sets the tone for a somber drama.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait. I’m also fully expecting to be really disappointed in the reboot, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, won’t we?

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Heroes Reborn debuts this Fall!

GeekscapeTV: El Chucho Takes On E3!

by Derek Kraneveldt

El Chucho is back!

Jonathan couldn’t make E3 this year (damn prior engagements), and so instead of passing on his, well, pass, to one of his many underlings… he used his power to send his cousin.

Yep, that same cousin that showed up in the Amiibo Drug Deal short back in April.

This time around, El Chucho asks E3 goers what they thought of the expo, and which games they were looking forward to, and which companies had the best showings. He also creeps out some females, and, well, just watch the damn short.

Want to see more from El Chucho? Yeah you do. Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe!

Most importantly, never forget: this ain’t no casa de shades.

Sony & Marvel’s ‘Spider-Man’ Reboot Has Found Its Star And Director!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Back in April (yep, on the first), we fooled a few of you by announcing that The Walking Dead‘s Chandler Riggs had been cast as Peter Parker in Sony / Marvel’s Spider-Man reboot.

Obviously, we were lying, so you can stop tweeting us about it now. Today, however, Sony and Marvel revealed (for real) who will be our next wall-crawler, as well as who will be directing the feature.

19 year-old The Impossible and In The Heart of the Sea star Tom Holland (not as young as we were expecting) has been tapped as our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, while fairly-newcomer Jon Watts (Watts directed this year’s Sundance hit Cop Car) will direct the feature.

Of the announcement, Sony Pictures Chairman Tom Rothmans noted that “It’s a big day here at Sony. Kevin, Amy and their teams have done an incredible job. The Marvel process is very thorough, and that’s why their results are so outstanding. I’m confident Spider-Man will be no exception. I’ve worked with a number of up-and-coming directors who have gone on to be superstars and believe that Jon is just such an outstanding talent. For Spidey himself, we saw many terrific young actors, but Tom’s screen tests were special. All in all, we are off to a roaring start.”

Feige adds that “As with James Gunn, Joss Whedon, and the Russo brothers, we love finding new and exciting voices to bring these characters to life. We spent a lot of time with Jon and find his take and work inspiring.”

Last I’d heard, 18-year old Asa Butterfield was essentially a lock for the project. This is an interesting turn, and in any case, I’m excited to see just where Sony can take Spider-Man with Marvel’s help! What do you think of the announcement? Is there anyone else you’d rather see in the role? Sound out below!

The yet-untitled Spider-Man reboot hits theatres on July 28th, 2017.

E3 2015: ‘The Last Guardian’ Finally Re-Revealed, And It’s Beautiful!

by Derek Kraneveldt

It looks like not wishing for The Last Guardian this year may have worked!

Sony began its action-packed E3 press conference by re-revealing the game that we’ve been waiting for for over half a decade. We saw over six minuted of The Last Guardian footage, which almost made up for the years and years where we didn’t see any.

It’s now (obviously) a PS4 title, and it’s apparently releasing in 2016.

Oh, did I mention that it’s freaking beautiful. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think.

E3 2015: The ‘Final Fantasy VII’ Remake Is Finally Happening, Watch The First Trailer

by Derek Kraneveldt

It’s been rumoured for years, but I never thought it would actually happen. The Final Fantasy VII remake that the world has been begging for has finally been announced.

This is one remaster that I’m more than okay with. I put more hours into FFVII than any other game in the series (aside from maybe Tactics). I can’t wait to feel all the feels (and all the nostalgia) when the game finally releases.

No release date has been set, and nothing was revealed aside from this trailer, but it was noted that Playstation players will get to play the game first.

Watch the trailer below, and let us know how stoked you are.

E3 2015: ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ Shows Off First-Person Gordon Missions!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Batman: Arkham Knight just got even cooler.

At Sony’s just-concluded E3 press conference, the company showed off some PS4 exclusive gameplay for next month’s anticipated title.

The footage has you playing as Commissioner Gordon, and it’s decidedly creepier than we’ve seen in past Arkham games. Take a look at the footage below, and let us know what you think!

E3 2015: Watch The First Footage From ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I was a big fan of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series until it got awful. There’s no sports game, singular or series, that I’ve spent more hours with, but after the first Tony Hawk’s Underground, the series quickly turned from stellar to abysmal. Even Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD was disappointing, bringing over beloved stages, but leaving behind the classic physics and incredible soundtrack.

Tony is aware of the series’ missteps, and is looking to fix them with the series next game. Hawk revealed the first footage from the game on Youtube’s live E3 coverage, and it looks old-school, and promising as hell.

I couldn’t be more excited (and I hope they don’t let me down). Take a look at the footage below, and let us know what you think! THPS5 doesn’t have a release date at this time, but it will be available for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4.

E3 2015: ‘The Walking Dead: Michonne’ Is Coming From Telltale Games This Fall!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This, I did not expect!

We knew that we wouldn’t be seeing Season 3 of Telltale’s phenomenal until next year, but the developer revealed earlier this year that we’d see some new The Walking Dead action before the end 0f 2015.

Telltale today revealed The Walking Dead: Michonne, a three-episode miniseries in the Walking Dead universe, and holy crap I’m excited.

Telltale notes that the game “stars the iconic character from the comic book series haunted by her past and coping with unimaginable loss and regret. The story explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139. Through this Telltale Games mini-series of 3 episodes, players will discover what took Michonne away from Rick, Ezekiel, and the rest of her trusted group… and what brought her back.”

The game will debut this Fall. Telltale didn’t release a trailer alongside the announcement, but here’s some sleek key art. Excited?

E3 2015: ‘Fallout 4’ Coming On November 10th!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s coming far sooner than I’d expected, and it looks absolutely phenomenal.

Yep, Bethesda just revealed far more of Fallout 4 than we saw in its announcement trailer last week, and it was breathtaking.

Words really, really don’t do it justice, so take a look at the Fallout 4 E3 footage below, get a far bigger peak of post-war Boston, and let us know what you think.

Oh yeah, and it releases on November 10th. I guess Christmas is early this year.

One of the coolest looking new features? Being able to rebuild your town, attract people into it, and protect it from raiders. Aw yiss.

Geekscape’s E3 2015 Liveblog: Sony

by Derek Kraneveldt

Sony’s 2015 press conference is live at 6:00pm, and we’re here at E3 to tell you everything the company has coming.

Sony’s been decidedly quiet about any announcements or games that they’ll be showcasing this year, so we can only hope it’s something BIG. By big, of course, we mean The Last Guardian, but, well, that’s probably not going to happen. What else could pop up? Definitely Morpheus, maybe that PS+ version of DriveClub we’ve been waiting for? Another (better) try at Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale (maybe with some actual stars), or that it’s-been-rumoured-forever-but-will-probably-never-happen Crash Bandicoot reboot? We can dream.

At least we know we’ll probably get a handful of HD remakes (though the rumoured FFVII remake, we’d be okay with)!

Read on, find out, and be sure to let us know what you think!

‘Animal Crossing’ Amiibo Incoming? Leaked Image Says Yes!

by Derek Kraneveldt

If you already thought your wallet was in trouble after this morning’s Amiibo announcements, you may want to avert your eyes from the following image:

Leak

Yeah. So this image came straight from Nintendo’s European site, and it’s scary as hell. Sure, we see a bunch of Amiibo that we already own, as well as the Yarn Yoshi and Amiibo cards that we already knew about, but the image also features and awesome looking 30th Anniversary Mario figure, as well as figures depicting Animal Crossing‘s Tom Nook, Isabelle, Mabel, and K.K. Slider.

Could we be getting a Wii U version of Animal Crossing? I just got into the series, so I damned well hope so.
