Though BioShock games can certainly be fun to play, the titles are lauded more for his or her story than their first-person-shooting. Both episodes of BioShock Infinite‘s Burial at Sea DLC, then, are far more anticipated than the already-released Clash within the Clouds.

The story DLC will take player back to Rapture, the setting of BioShock and BioShock 2. A teaser mockumentary released last week shows that the characters may play just as big of an element in Rapture as they did in Columbia.

Irrational and 2K today released a five-minute, un-cut have a look at the start of the primary episode of the DLC. It shows an alternative-universe Booker as he’s approached by the sultry alternate-universe Elizabeth. She leads him on a brief tour of a pre-disaster Rapture, complete with bystanders throwing out Randian quips. On close inspection, however, not everything seems perfect and it becomes clear that Burial at Sea might just detail how Rapture fell inside the first place.

Last week Frictional Games, the makers of the Amnesia horror games, post a brand new teaser website for what’s, presumably, the studio’s next game. The location and a live-action teaser trailer show what seems to be a brand new sci-fi game that comes with artificial intelligence someway. Today, Frictional released another teaser for Soma during the website.

Like the former video, this one can be live-action. It stars the similar red-headed researcher from the former trailer, spoke of within the website text as AM Engineer Imogen Reed. She sits down for an interview with a partially self-disassembled machine lying on a workroom floow. The machine, called “Mockingbird” within the site text, argues with Reed and refers to itself as Adam Golaski. Then the human Golaski shows up.

Two videos in and there’s still little to move directly to determine what Soma may be about. Still, there are clues. As well as the obviously spooky nature of the AI within the videos, the nature within the videos is called “AM Engineer.” AM is the designation of a synthetic intelligence in a famous Harlan Ellison short story called I actually have No Mouth, and that i Must Scream. If there’s a connection and the name seriously is not simply an homage, it might mean that Frictional is indeed making another horror game, because the short story itself is a classic of sci-fi horror.

Injustice: Gods Among Us was hailed as top-of-the-line fighting games of the year when it was released at the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U back in April. Now the DC fighter is making the jump to a few more platforms next month complete with all of its DLC.

WB Games announced today that Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition will hit the PS4, PS Vita and PC next month. This version of the sport includes everything that was within the base game plus all of the DLC. The DLC includes all costumes and the six playable characters that were released post launch – Lobo, Martian Manhunter, Batgirl, General Zod, Zatanna and Scorpion.

While the sport will hit the PS4, PS Vita and PC next month, the PlayStation Blog post announcing the scoop focused exclusively at the Vita version. It’s being developed by the team at Armature Studios – the similar team liable for this month’s Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. The developers say that the Vita version will retain each of the features of the PS3 version, including 60 FPS gameplay. On top of that, it’ll also add Vita specific features like local ad-hoc multiplayer and touch controls for Story Mode and S.T.A.R. Labs missions.

As for the PS4 and PC versions, the sole news we now have on them is that they’re coming in November. VG247 reports that the PS4 version will launch on November 29 alongside the eu launch of the PS4. It’s not known yet if the identical holds true for the U.S. PS4 launch on November 15. As for the computer release, it is going to be available sooner or later in November in addition.

Oh, and people gamers who only have a PS3 or Xbox 360 aren’t being omitted. The final Edition might be available on those platforms next month in addition.

UPDATE: IGN reports that Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition will launch on PS4, PS Vita, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on November 12 in North America.

The post-apocalyptic setting is so passé at the present time. Evidently everybody and their dog desires to get in at the action with only a few games (i.e. The Last Folks, Fallout: New Vegas) actually getting it right. Now a team of established industry veterans desires to take a stab on the genre, and that they need your help to do it.

Hinterland, a development team made of former BioWare, Ubisoft Montreal, Volition and Riot Games developers, revealed The Long Dark earlier this month. The sport is billed as a post-apocalyptic survival game set inside the Northern wilderness. The focal point is exactly on survival as players must navigate a frigid wasteland searching out supplies and heat to stick alive.

The Long Dark isn’t essentially survival though. The sport will ask players to make tough moral choices within the name of survival. It could also task players to determine the cause behind the worldwide disaster.

The developers are promising so much, but it’s always a bit of dubious to back something when there’s no gameplay to point out for it. It sort of feels the parents at Hinterland understand this, and feature provided almost five minutes of prototype gameplay footage to turn what they’re looking to achieve with The Long Dark.

If the above video has you interested, possible back The Long Dark on Kickstarter today. There’s eight days left with the team having raised $118,000 of the $200,000 they’re inquiring for.

Maybe someday, we will be able to look back on these developments and laugh as we begin our umpteenth playthrough of Half-Life 3. Until that point, the safest approach is to take every bit of reports concerning Valve’s seminal game with the most important grain of salt you may get your hands on, notwithstanding the scoop comes from directly from Valve (see the HL3 t-shirt hubbub for further details). With that during mind, the inside track of the Half-Life 3 European trademark registration leading to a hoax should include absolutely no surprise.

Sure, the hassle is valiant, and it undoubtedly worked on the subject of generating renewed hype for those four words the gaming community longs to listen to-”Half-Life 3 confirmed”-but it surely was concerned with naught. PCGamesN.com has the main points:

We reported that the Half-Life 3 trademark registered every week ago was the work of Valve, but that now seems highly unlikely. The mark has now lost its page at the EU site – and are available to consider it, was made in suspicious proximity to the same mark for Portal 3.

A quick search of the trademark database within the link confirms the “Unsuccessful search: Found 0 trade marks” of status of Half-Life 3, no less than in Europe. This moves players back right into a square one status. Almost, anyway. While the trademark hoax is a specific thing, there’s been no denial/retraction in regards to the story that appeared in RockPaperShotgun.com, perhaps the smartest PC gaming blog on the net. As a refresher, their post indicated the next:

There is something called Jira that Valve uses for project management. Everything they do is tracked on it, and last night it accidentally went public-at the NeoGaf forum-and OHMYGOD THERE’S A HALF-LIFE 3 TEAM ON IT! No Ricochet 2 team, however.

Perhaps that may be the ray of hope for folk to lean on. Until the time Half-Life 3 is truly confirmed and/or released, right here Twitter account is perhaps your best resource for Half-Life 3′s release status:
