March 27, 2013January 26, 2019JadeWalsh

As you may or may not know, legendary Japanese game developer Hideo Kojimer has revealed Metal Gear Solids: The Phantom Menace via the medium of a spectacular trailer. The game will be a tactical espionage hospital drama, like Scrubs, or Casualty, or ER, or Doogie Howser MD. You may have seen the trailer, but have you really seen the trailer, like really looked at it closely into the bits you can’t actually see? Probably not. So before we continue, look at the trailer here:

Now that you’ve ‘seen’ the trailer, here are 16 things you didn’t see in the trailer because you got drunk or passed out or something happened to you which incapacitated your eyes and diminished your ability to see.

March 27, 2013January 31, 2019JadeWalsh

DICE get the next-gen rolling in impressive fashion

So DICE has finally given us a glimpse of the next-gen with their sexy looking shooter, Battlefield 4. The 17 minutes of in-game action named Fishing in Baku depicts the same rough and tumble action you’d expect from an FPS. But the bombs and bullets whizzing all over the place are jazzed up by the new Frostbite 3 engine that adds even more real life physics to the play.

The intense footage can be seen below, but check out the list below as there are probably some hints and facts about Battlefield 4 that you may miss in the clip.

Looks great, but did you manage to pick out all these bits?

(00:43) Irish – the first character you see – is played by The Wire’s Michael K. Williams. Omar’s here? SHEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIT

And Nathan tells us why PS2 God of Wars are better than the recent Ascension.

There’s loads more crammed in to this week’s episode, so sit back, relax and let Cundy and Nathan pour sweet madness into your ears.…

Saints Row 4 will be be bigger than ever, DLC plans pencilled in

March 25, 2013January 31, 2019JadeWalsh

PAX East interview reveals the lofty plans in place at Volition

During a couple of interviews with Destructoid at PAX East, Volition has confirmed that Saints Row 4 will have ‘a fuckton more content’ than the previous game and a ‘robust DLC plan‘ is already in the works.

Saints Row 4′s creative director, Steve Jaros says the main campaign is about the same as Saints Row 3 – which is a good 15 hours, if our memories serve us correct. But in terms of open world stuff to do, Jaros says “There’s a fuckton more. Way more. It’s absurd”. He also claims that ‘fans aren’t ready‘ for the amount of stuff they’re putting in and that one side mission he started lasted a whopping four hours, because it sucked him in that much. Big words.

Jaros’ comments arrived after a tiny storm in an espresso cup was created when senior producer, Jim Boone confirmed ‘a very …

Borderlands 2 Bunkers and Badasses DLC announced

March 25, 2013February 7, 2019JadeWalsh

Tiny Tina driven expansion is on the way

To close out their PAX East conference, and following their new character announcement, Gearbox Software dropped a trailer, which seems to confirm some new DLC for Borderlands 2. The teaser for Bunkers & Badasses – depicted as a sort of Dungeon’s & Dragons (think about it) board game in the video below – seems to suggest a) this is the first story expansion to drop outside of the Season Pass stuff and b) a new game mode is coming. Take a look…

Cheers for the video IGN.

We can’t really see Bunkers & Badasses being a huge departure from the same gun-totin’ RPG mechanics of Borderlands 2, but a fresh new mode certainly gives us a fizz around the groin area. Especially if it’s some sort of twist on a turn-based strategy – a game within a game, if you will.

Regardless, we’ll bring you the news right here on DLCentral as …

Borderlands 2′s new DLC has a release date, a new playable Psycho awaits

March 24, 2013January 2, 2019JadeWalsh

YAAAAS! Gearbox has finally announced new DLC for Borderlands 2 that drops on April 2nd. The update has been announced at PAX East in Boston and will introduce a load of new stuff for fans to play with including an increased level cap. Season Pass owners can breathe a sigh of relief as the new DLC is free to them, but will cost everyone else $5 (around £5/€6) but it also comes with some other goodies such as…

Level cap increase – So if you’ve maxed out at 50 you can now grind your way to level 61
Pearlescent weapon class – The ultra-rare guns and ammo from the original Borderlands will certainly mix things up a bit
Ultimate Vault Hunter mode – this is a free update for all and will make all enemies as tough as the hardest member of your team. Yikes

No date has been set for this guy’s debut yet, but sadly, this sixth character …
