Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 Trailer Showcases Horror

New DVD release, , , , ,
The first thing you might notice in Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 trailer is the music. The familiar theme of the original, classic series, has been twisted into a cross between the themes to the film Halloween and The Exorcist. We can still make out the melody, but it is far more haunting in its new mix. The same can be said of the show. The new iteration Unsolved Mysteries is haunting and serious, avoiding some of the cheesier aspects which endeared viewers to the original, which began airing in 1987. Unsolved Mysteries Volume 1 featured six episodes which began…

Synchronic Trailer Showcases New Mind-Bending Movie From The Endless Duo

New DVD release, , , , ,
Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson’s most mainstream endeavor yet is set to be released next month. Synchronic, a new feature from the directors of Spring, Resolution and The Endless, stars former Mr. Grey, Jamie Dornan and Marvel’s new Captain America, Anthony Mackie. It promises to be just as fascinating as Moorhead and Benson’s previous flicks, if this first trailer is anything to go by, however, when the film originally screened at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, critics were conflicted over comparisons to the pair’s previously stellar efforts. Here’s an official wee synopsis for you: “When New Orleans paramedics and…

Hogwarts Legacy Trailer Showcases an Ambitious Harry Potter RPG

New DVD release, , , , , ,
We’ve heard rumors of a major new Harry Potter game in development for quite some time now, but the recent PlayStation showcase finally brought us an official trailer for Hogwarts Legacy. Much of what we previously suspected/heard about this project remains true of the final version. It is indeed a Harry Potter RPG that allows you to roam an open-world version of Hogwarts as a custom created character. That also means that you’ll be able to attend classes, interact with classmates, and generally do all of the things that we associate with the school of magic. What we didn’t know…

Dragon Age 4 Trailer Showcases Classic BioWare RPG

New DVD release, , , ,
During the Gamescom opening ceremony, BioWare surprisingly showcased an extensive breakdown of Dragon Age 4. The footage in question is largely a blend of developer interviews and very early test footage. We’re going to emphasize “early” here as it seems that BioWare is very much still working on Dragon Age 4 and that you shouldn’t expect to play the game for a long time. The heart of the matter, though, is that it sounds like BioWare intends for Dragon Age 4 to be a return to RPG form for the company after they’ve spent the last few years controversially working…

The Witcher: Monster Slayer Trailer Showcases Mobile ARPG

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Witcher is being adapted into a mobile ARPG app, because of course The Witcher is being adapted into a mobile ARPG app. The app, The Witcher: Monster Slayer, is being published by CD Projekt Red and developed by a company called Spokko which CD Projekt Red acquired to develop future mobile titles. As this project is being published by CD Projekt Red, that means that it will be based on the games and not the Netflix series or books of the same name. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that this title will serve as kind of a prequel to…

Dragon’s Dogma Trailer Showcases Netflix Series

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , ,
Netflix has released the first trailer for its animated adaptation of Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma, and the results are…interesting. “Resurrected as an Arisen, Ethan sets out to vanquish the Dragon that took his heart,” reads a description of Dragon’s Dogma on the Netflix website. “But with every demon he battles, his humanity slips further away.” Created by Japanese animation studio Sublimation, Dragon’s Dogma‘s animation style certainly seems to be the thing that most people are talking about at the moment. There’s been some debate in the past regarding whether or not some of Netflix’s other animated adaptations technically qualify as animes.…

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Trailer Showcases “Prince of Persia” Style Stealth Game

New DVD release, , , , , ,
A new CG trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has arrived alongside fascinating gameplay details that better explain the project’s premise. “The game mixes stealth with vertical climbing parkour,” says lead game designer Martin Wilkes in an interview with IGN. “If you want a reference you might think of it as similar to Prince of Persia. It is mostly a non-combat game, but Gollum will be able to stealthily take out enemies. However, this will not be easy and always come with big risks. We want players to carefully weigh these encounters. After all, Gollum’s strengths lie in…

Rogue Legacy 2 Early Access Showcases a Promising Return for the Rogue-lite

New DVD release, , , , , ,
I was a latecomer to the roguelike genre, unable to comprehend how the concept of having your progress almost entirely wiped upon death could be fun – let alone rewarding. Then Rogue Legacy released in 2013 and everything changed. There was just something incredibly moreish about exploring these randomly generated dungeons, dying a lot, and yet still knowing that at least some of my character’s skills would be passed down to a new playable descendant. Cut to 2020 and I find myself uttering “just one more run” all over again in this inventive dungeon-diving sequel. Rogue Legacy 2 officially entered…

Godfall Combat Preview Showcases PlayStation 5 Gameplay

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Godfall team revealed an extensive gameplay preview of the upcoming PS5 title during Sony’s latest State of Play event and shed some light on how this exciting title will distinguish itself from some considerable competition. While much of the latest preview focused on Godfall‘s combat mechanics, the star of this show was the game’s five main weapon types: Dual Blades, Longswords, Polearms, Two-Handed Warhammers, and Two-Handed Greatswords. As you might imagine, each type of weapon will handle differently than the other. For instance, Dual Blades will be faster while Longswords offer a more balanced and precise way to deal…

Forza Motorsport Trailer Showcases Xbox Series X Graphics

New DVD release, , , , ,
The Forza Motorsport series will make the leap to the next generation as developer Turn 10 Studios has confirmed they’re working on a Forza game for Xbox Series X. “This May marked 15 years since we released the first Forza,” says Dan Greenwalt, creative director of the Forza franchise, via an Xbox blog post. “Over the years, we came to see Forza as a community centered around cars, competition, and creativity. As the Forza franchise has expanded, so has the importance of player-to-player connection and the immersion delivered through state-of-the-art realism. The Xbox Series X, with its focus on speed…

Mafia: Definitive Edition Gameplay Preview Showcases Impressive Remake

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Developer Hangar 13 has released an extensive (and stunning) gameplay preview of Mafia: Definitive Edition. The preview’s primary message seems to be that Mafia: Definitive Edition will retain as much of the original game as the team feels is possible and necessary. As mentioned in this gameplay preview, Hangar 13 is especially interested in retaining and reviving the memorable missions from 2002’s Mafia. We even get a look at that racing mission from the original game which ranks highly among the most frustrating levels in gaming history. That said, this is a remake of the original game, which means that…

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Cover Showcases PlayStation 5 Box Art

New DVD release, , , , ,
Marvel and the PlayStation team have tweeted out images of the Spider-Man: Miles Morales cover which happen to offer our first look at what the basic box art for PlayStation 5 games will look like. A sneak peek at what PS5 games will look like when you see them on store shelves starting this holiday: https://t.co/i2ByEdWYRS pic.twitter.com/TmB4FzFMJZ— PlayStation (@PlayStation) July 9, 2020 Aside from the obvious presence of the PS5 name and logo, the biggest difference between this box art and PS4 box art is the white bar on top. On PS4 games, that bar is blue, not white. That…

The Old Guard Review: Netflix Action Movie Showcases Immortal Heroes

Netflix, New DVD release, , , , , ,
The overwhelming feeling in the early scenes of The Old Guard, director Gina Prince-Bythewood’s intermittently thoughtful take on the venerable trope of the superhero team, is one of exhaustion: on the part of the characters at first, and then perhaps just a bit on the part of the viewer, who realizes that they are watching a story that’s been told many times before. But even though it suffers from pacing and originality issues, The Old Guard still tells its story well enough to leave a more thoughtful impression than other typically superficial summer fare. Andy (Charlize Theron), the leader of…

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Leaked Footage Showcases 30 Minutes of Gameplay

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Earlier today, roughly 30 minutes of fresh Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay footage was leaked online by currently unidentified sources. The leaked video likely comes from the same gameplay footage that Ubisoft planned to reveal during their upcoming digital event on July 12. While there was initially some debate regarding the accuracy and legitimacy of the footage, the fact that Ubisoft has been removing reposts of the video throughout the day wherever they may appear tends to suggest that it is the real deal. That being the case, it’s not exactly easy to find a working link to the leaked footage.…
