DmC DLC lets you play as Vergil
Capcom is at it again with their DLC's. Since Vergil was revealed to appear in the upcoming reboot of Devil May Cry, everybody has been asking Ninja Theory if he will be a playable character. Now this shows up. You actually do get a chance to play as Vergil, but its pre-order DLC. Oh Capcom.
Hours of gameplay?? Man I sure hope so. If it only provides an hour or two of Vergil gameplay, that's going to be disappointing. But I got to say, the Vergil gameplay seems to be in check.
I never liked how Capcom applies their DLC. Gamers anticipating this game that are big fans of Vergil are in a position to either pre-order the game, or cash out more money in order to play the character. Just another attempt from Capcom to take advantage of a beloved franchise. Hopefully I'm wrong on this one, but I have a big feeling that the DLC will actually be included in the disc on launch and downloading the code to unlock the DLC content will be required. Capcom has done this before with Street Fighter X Tekken. DLC characters were found on the disc at game launch and was already fixed and playable. All you need to do was purchase the DLC in order to download the code to unlock the characters (Which was released weeks after).
As shown at the end of the video, the pre-order is for Gamespot (US) and EB Games (Canada). Still no word if DmC will get any pre-order treatment here in the Philippines that will include this DLC, but it's too soon to tell since this game is still a few months away. If it won't be available on release, then the only way to get Vergil's Downfall is to purchase it when it comes out on PSN or Xbox Live.
Ninja Theory's DmC is planned for a January 15 2013 release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
Batman: Arkham Asylum Playthrough with Migoy
Since I got my PS3 late last year, I missed out on the initial hype of Batman: Arkham Asylum. Didn't get Batman: Arkham City when it was new because I wanted to play Arkham Asylum first since the stories are directly related and I heard the gameplay of Arkham Asylum isn't drastically different from Arkham City.
I decided to capture my complete first playthrough of Arkham Asylum and then hopefully dive into Arkham City shortly after. I know that my playthroughs are older games but I've only recently had time to really play them. Join me on my quest as I punch dudes in the mouth as Batman.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn's amazing cinematic trailer
Remember Final Fantasy XIV? the MMORPG Final Fantasy game that pretty much went downhill right when it started? Well, Square gave it a complete overhaul bearing a new title Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. A jaw-dropping cinematic trailer was just released by Square Enix making me wish this was just another Final Fantasy title instead of an MMORPG. The trailer's 6 minutes long, check it out below.
Thanks to the negative reaction it received on its first release, Square Enix decided to not give up on the project and plan to relaunch the game under a new set of developers. With a new game engine, redesigned UI and game maps, a new server system, pretty much a complete make-over, Square Enix hopes that this re-do of Final Fantasy XIV would please fans of the series since they too were not happy on the quality of the game the first time.
Will this relaunch save this title? Can't say much yet, but one thing's for sure, Square Enix can never disappoint with game cinematics.
A Realm Reborn is currently on its Alpha testing and the relaunch of the MMO will come sometime next year 2013. The long awaited PS3 version of the online game will also be released alongside the PC version.
Latest God of War: Ascension trailers focuses on multiplayer
We all know the upcoming God of War is a prequel that has multiplayer. The latest trailers for Ascension focuses on multiplayer showing the perks your warrior can earn when they sell their soul to one of the four gods; Zeus, Hades, Ares, and Poseidon. Revealed so far are Zeus and Ares, check the trailers below.

Ares Trailer
Where's the latest footage of the single player campaign? I have no clue. It appears that Santa Monica Studios want to focuses on show casing the multiplayer aspect of the game first before anything else. God of War having multiplayer just doesn't make much sense, and I'm sure we have a lot of questions about it, which is why I believe they went on with advertising this first before revealing any more info about the single player' campaign.
We can't say Sony haven't shown any single player content though. A gameplay demo was revealed at this year's E3 and while it was not as impressive as the God of War 3 demo in the past, it's good to see Kratos back in action spilling blood all over the place.
I still have my doubts, some games just don't need multiplayer, and God of War is one of them.
God of War: Ascension comes out next year March 12, 2013 exclusively on the Playstation 3.
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale Attract trailer reveals the final boss
Playstation All-Stars battle Royale has now gone gold people. To celebrate the game going gold and to say "thank you" to the fans, Sony released the opening cinematic of the game which reveals character rivals and a final boss that I never knew existed in Playstation history. Check the trailer below.
If you're wondering about that hidden floating head towards the end, yes that's the last boss of the game. His name is Polygon Man,the promotional mascot of Playstation that got cut even before the console even came out. Apparently, negative reactions over at Sony quickly scrapped the mascot and we never heard from him again... until now.
This is the first time I heard about Polygon Man (Picture above). It's hard to believe that they were actually considering a mascot like that for Playstation. He has been hidden for years, but now he has resurface again to be the final boss for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. Why has he come back to go against Playstation's most iconic characters? We'll have to wait and see when it comes out on November 21 on PS3 and on the PS Vita.
