Geekscape Games Podcast: Level 11 – “Ubisoft Super Show: Online Heists Tracker”

Back in February of last year it was announced that Screen Gems, the company behind the Resident Evil moves, had acquired the rights to produce a live action adaptation of the Devil May Cry video game franchise. Kyle Ward (Machete Kills) has been attached to write the script but other than that there had been no news as far as casting, directors or a release date for the film. At E3, it was announced that the film will be based on the new game, DmC: Devil May Cry. The film base on the reboot is being positioned as an origin story for protagonist, Dante.

Well, now it appears that we may be getting a trailer for the film…next month?! The website Alberta Film Ratings has classified a trailer for the film adaptation and it appears that it will be attached with next months Resident Evil: Retribution. The site has classified the trailer at one minute and thirty-one seconds in length. This could definitely just be a teaser or announcement trailer but there really are no details on it yet other than the length. But, a minute and a half definitely seems length for a teaser don’t you think? Looks like some of you may actually have to go see Resident Evil: Retribution after all.

‘DmC’ Gets Official Box Art; New How To Play Trailer!

by Josh JacksonAugust 26, 2012

When the first images hit the web for Ninja Theory’s Devil May Cry reboot, the nerd rage was loud, vengeful and especially salty. It was so bad that it reached point where the developers received death threats for daring to try something new. This rage was also completely misguided, as we now know based on the positive reaction the actual game play, that despite the new look, this is still the stylish action game we’ve grown to love. It just shows that you can’t judge an emo demon slayer by his sickly looking face on the cover.

And speaking of the cover, Capcom has released images of the official box art when the game releases early next year. In addition, Capcom-Unity has released a brand new game play video detailing many of the combat features, showing that despite looking malnurished, Dante still has the moves.

Are you a believer yet, or does Dante’s drastic change still bug you? And does the game play change your mind? If not, Capcom has until January 15th to change your mind.

‘Heavenly Sword 2’ Concept Art Surfaces… Is It Too Late For A Sequel?

by Josh JacksonAugust 25, 2012

During the early, dark days of being a PS3 owner, Heavenly Sword was a beacon of light. Being the first game, (and sadly, one of the last,) to make the most out of the graphics technology of the current generation to enhance rather than distract from the experience, the story of Nariko and her war against an evil conqueror and his army is still one of my favorites in the last decade. Sadly, whether it was because of poor sales, developer Ninja Theory’s decision to venture off into 3rd party development or unfair comparisons to God of War, (because you know, any action game with swords in the last five years just HAS to be a rip off…), the game became a cult hit, but it wasn’t enough for either the developer or publisher to support a sequel.

But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in the works. IGN recently released some previously unpublished concept art pieces from the second of the planned trilogy. Seemingly taking place in a completely different setting, Nariko is apparently back to continue her fight against the Raven King. Which makes me so sad that this vision will likely never materialize.

But is there still hope? Does the release of these screenshots mean Heavenly Sword 2 might surface one day? While Ninja Theory is currently working on the DmC reboot, can Sony decide to give the title to another up and coming developer? Considering Nariko and her sidekick, Kai, are appearing in Playstation All Stars, it’s not too outside of the realm of possibility, right?

If you missed out on the first game, check out the video below. That acting, those facial expressions, that ANDY F’N SERKIS! It’s just so perfect. Here’s to hoping Nariko’s first adventure wasn’t her last.

DmC: Devil May Cry Gets A New Trailer and Some Tasty Screenshots

by Shane O'HareAugust 9, 2012

The hyper stylized hack and slash Juggernaut, Devil May Cry is getting a reboot, and we just got eyes on the possible new title (DmC, just DmC) and a great look at the environments with this new trailer. TAKE A GANDER!

Not only do we have this trailer, but we have some new screens too!

This lovely gamer can be labeled as only one thing right now. “Excited”. I was a little apprehensive, as was most of the gaming world, that the new look for Dante was a move in the wrong direction. Even after Ninja Theory said it was based on Nolan’s Dark Knight films, we weren’t impressed. After seeing this trailer I’m sold. The gritty J-Rock sound and crazy hyper weird world colored with words that one would find in a Hot Topic employees diary make for a very fun looking game.
