‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Teaser Trailer Introduces The Hulk And Other Surprises

by Natalie Kipper

This is a story all about how Thor’s life got twist-turned upside down. All joking aside, the teaser trailer for the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok looks fabulous. Take a gander below and we will discuss after. Don’t worry; I can wait.

Wow, right? For starters, despite the darker tone (not counting the bright color scheme in some of the costumes) the humor we expect from Marvel superhero movies seems to remain intact. So surprise numero uno would be Thor’s loss of his mighty hammer, Mjölnir. The inclusion of The Incredible Hulk was also a bit of a shocker given that this was not an Avengers film. Who else can we expect to see, I wonder?

I am curious about how they are going to explain the presence of the film’s baddie, Hela (also known as Hel in some Norse works). According to Norse myhtology, she is a daughter of Loki. Will they alter that piece of her background in the film?

This trailer has raised plenty of questions and certainly has piqued my interest in the film. What was your impression?

Battlefield 4 Information Round Up

by Shane O'Hare

These last few days have been INSANE with all the information coming out for the next in the Battlefield series. We have teaser trailers, dog tags and a stack of leaked features. Come with me!

 

A few days ago we got the leaked artwork for BF4 ( check out our write up on it here ). Then the guys over at DICE created a new site that urged players to log in. The new Battlefield 4 Official Website had a counter going, the more players that logged in with their Origin account the more would be revealed for the first teaser image. What was unlocked first was this fabulously orange picture of a smoking aircraft carrier, titled “Amphibious Assault”

 

Battlefield 4 Amphibious Assault

 

Couple that with today’s teaser “SEA”, I HOPE, that we can see a type of aircraft carrier defend mode. If you’ve played Battlefield 2142’s Titan mode then you know what kind of crazy antics to expect.

 

 

Next we got this other teaser, “Land”.

 

 

Tease after tease! FINALLY, we got some leaked info on what the game features will be like. These are unconfirmed as of now, but hopefully at least half of these stick.

 

Battlefield 4 will stick with 64 players. Maps are larger and more detailed.

 

Three factions: US, Russia, and an unnamed “Eastern/Asian” faction.
4 classes with “additional features and tweaks” compared to BF3
Shipping with same amount of maps as BF3, there are plans for lots of DLC.
DLC is already in planning stages.
Battlefield 4 Premium will be available on day one and include some perks.
Most of the guns and vehicles from BF3 will return.
More squad features.
Commander feature returns, but won’t be the same as in BF2
Battlefield 4 is coming out on both current and next gen systems, and PC as well.
Game is more of an evolution rather than revolution of the series. Both technically and gameplay wise.
Will ship with more game modes than BF3
Will ship with more close quarter infantry maps than BF3
Frostbite 2 engine is pushed further in BF4. Better effects, higher res textures, more detailed game worlds, etc.
BF3 will still be supported after Battlefield 4 launches.
There is plan of some sort of integration between BF3 and BF4. Could be Battlelog-only.
Battlelog will be updated for Battlefield 4 with more social features and more detailed stats.
Single-player and co-op will return, new writers involved this time.

 

This is all very, very exciting! I really hope they implement some sort of Titan mode and bring the Commander Role back proper. Playing Commander in BF2 was one of the funnest things I did in the game, besides intense HALO missions.

 

With all this info getting pumped out we can certainly expect the game to shit this year, like what was rumored.
