New Obscure Details
Thanks to forum user Jared for the tip about new Obscure details. This site has some new excellent-looking screens and information about this French horror game.
In totally unrelated news, Resident Evil 4 information and screenshots are popping up everywhere.
RE4 Details
|
|
IGN has posted a very detailed preview of Resident Evil 4. The information is exciting; it appears that Capcom has made a huge number of changes to the series with this game. Check it out! |
Kuon is Coming
Polygon has posted some more info and screens on Kuon. Here’s an excerpt:
Slated to hit Japanese shelves next month, the game will be set in ancient Japan circa 1200 A.D. The story of Kuon will focus on a young girl who searches for her lost father and sister in a haunted mansion. Inside she finds a world of lost souls and enlists the help of exorcists to rid the mansion of its demons.
The screens they have are starting to look much better than the earlier pics we saw before.
High-Res Videos Rule
The MagicBox has posted a high-res trailer (Quicktime format) for Silent Hill 4. Check it out!
X-Files Update
|
|
IGN posted a preview of X-Files: Resist or Serve, which I totally missed until today. I’ve grabbed some new screens of the game, which is looking much better than the early screenshots released last year. It appears that the Xbox version of the game has been canceled, but the PS2 version is slated for release this coming Tuesday the 16th. |
Silent Hill 4 Out In June!! (in Japan)
Lots of news today. This just in via the Magic Box:
Konami announced the release date of Silent Hill 4: The Room for PlayStation 2, the game will be released in Japan on June 17, for 6980 yen. No release date is announced for the Xbox version.
LifeLine Out
|
|
Thanks to Jared for reminding us that LifeLine (also known as Operator’s Side) is out today. LifeLine is unique because it requires you to play by issuing voice commands over a microphone to a game character. So far the reviews have been lower than the Japanese version, perhaps due to poor localization or the voice recognition technology not translating well to English. However, the game is obviously an ambitious attempt at using new technologies in games, and I am looking forward to checking it out. |
Suffering Soon
|
|
The Suffering, an incredibly bloody-looking horror title developed Surreal Software and published by Midway, is set for release this coming Monday (the 8th). By all indications this game will be a very mature entry into the horror genre. However, the bits I played almost a year ago at E3 were very promising, and I am interested to see if this title will be able to avoid joining the mediocre American horror game club. |
News
|
|
First off, I’ve added a bunch of new screens to the Resident Evil 4 page. You might also be interested in checking out these scans. In a bit of sad news, it looks like the excellent game magazine Polygon is going out of buisness. Polygon was one of the few intellegent and mature magazines left on the market, and I am sorry to see it close down after such a short run. |
