People Can Fly developing next Gears of War game
People Can Fly, the team behind last year’s underloved shooter Bulletstorm, have been named as the developer of the next Gears of War game.
Taking to Twitter, Mike Capps, President of Epic Games, had this to say about the game’s development:
RT “@stephentotilo: @adrianchm Do I detect People Can Fly involvement?” YES YES YES!
While it’s possible this is a fakeout, People Can Fly have been rumored to be involved with a “Gears of War prequel” for a while now. But we’ll find out for sure this Monday during Microsoft’s E3 2012 Press Conference.

Hitman: Absolution’s E3 2012 trailer is nun-tastic
Agent 47 is hurt and he’s holed up in some fleabag motel. A visit from a group of wandering nuns is probably just what he needs. But then the nuns drop their habits, revealing fetish gear and a small arsenal of guns and heavy ordinance. I guess it’s just another day at the office for ol’ barcodehead.
Hitman: Absolution will be on display at next week’s E3 Expo and will be released for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on November 20.
First Injustice trailer, screenshots released
A day after the announcement of their first non-Mortal Kombat game in a long time, NetherRealm Studios has released the first trailer and screenshots for Injustice: Gods Among Us. And what do you know, it looks just like Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, just minus the Mortal Kombat characters.
Not that that’s a bad thing of course.
Injustice: Gods Among Us will be released for the PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 sometime next year. You can check out the first screenshots after the break. (more…)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 confirmed with teaser trailer
A massive army of armor-clad knights attempts to storm Castlevania as Dracula broods inside. Rather than wait for them, he floats onto the battlefield in a smoky fog and unleashes a whip attack made of vampiric energy to fell the knights. He even manages to defeat some kind of medieval Transformer. Just when he think he’s won, a “mysterious stranger” with flowing white hair and a huge sword enters the battlefield.
That’s how Konami announced Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. And the debut trailer for the Mercury Steam-developed game is even better if you view it yourself.

Lara Croft raids her first tomb on March 5, 2013
“I hate tombs.”
It sounds like Lara Croft’s “female Indiana Jones” schtick hasn’t yet become her day job in this E3 2012 trailer for the rebooted Tomb Raider. The PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 game is now set for a March 5, 2013 and it looks to pack a punch. Lara’s “first adventure” is all about surviving this tomb raid and some of the action setpieces look like they would make Nathan Drake have a panic attack.
First freakin’ sweet details of Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse revealed
Are these details freakin’ sweet?
Nah. To steal another common Family Guy catchphrase, I’m just yankin’ ya. Even with these initial plot details, we still don’t really know anything about Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse.
We know it was written by “talent” from the show and we know it stars Brian and Stewie. We also know it’s based on the “Multiverse” episode and that the main villain is Bertram.
Even if we didn’t know these things yesterday, their announcement is still less unexpected than the time Ted Turner impregnated Carter Pewterschmidt’s dog. Here’s what Activision had to say:
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse features an all-new original narrative that is an expansion on the popular episode, “Road to the Multiverse.” It turns the outrageous world of Family Guy into an action-packed video game filled with nods to the long-running comedy. Playing as either Stewie or Brian, each with unique abilities and weapons, players will battle their favourite Family Guy characters as they advance through Multiverse-themed levels in their pursuit to battle Stewie’s evil twin, Bertram, who has returned and is hell-bent on destroying Quahog. Fans will also be able to team up in co-op multiplayer mode or compete against each other in competitive multiplayer levels – all with a Family Guy twist.

Game Informer will unveil new Gears of War game next week
On Monday, the game industry will gather together to celebrate the start of this year’s E3 Expo. But we will also spend next Monday frantically reloading GameInformer.com to get a peek at the next Gears of War game.
The untitled game will grace the cover of the July 2012 issue, which as you can see, is shrouded in mystery. A shadowy figure is being lead (in handcuffs) down a dark corridor as Sera burns behind him.
The first details (including the title and, hopefully, a release date) will be unveiled during Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference on Monday. But Game Informer was able to reveal that the game is definitely in development for the Xbox 360.
But the one thing the magazine didn’t do was refer to the game as “Gears of War 4,” which has made the Internet’s collective mind scream “prequel!” And as you know, a certain Gears of War main character did spend a long time in prison before the start of the first game.

NetherRealm’s next game is the DC Comics fighter Injustice: Gods Among Us
WB Games has announced that the next game from NetherRealm Studios, the creators of the Mortal Kombat series, will be Injustice: Gods Among Us. Described as a “bold new fighting game franchise,” Injustice will pit heroes and villains from the DC Comics universe against each other in “in epic battles on a massive scale.”
Think of it as Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, but without all those pesky ninjas.
Like the last two Mortal Kombat titles, Injustice will have a “deep, original story” that features such DC mainstays as Batman, Harley Quinn, Solomon Grundy, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman and many others.
“We can’t wait to reveal Injustice: Gods Among Us because it will give our fans and gamers an epic experience as they battle like gods as their favorite DC Comics villains and heroes,” said Ed Boon, Creative Director at NetherRealm Studios. “Our team is excited to make a fighting game that is filled with fast-paced action, incredible story-telling and iconic DC Comics characters.”
Warner Bros. will be bringing Injustice: Gods Among Us to the PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360 sometime in 2013.
