Come December 10th, we’ll all know what the next big game from BioWare is, but other than a released screenshot, the below-appearing teaser trailer for the studio’s unnannounced title is all we have to go on.
Just whatever you do, don’t blink while watching the video or you’ll miss the tanks, explosions and urban setting:
While the full reveal for the next Alan Wake game from Remedy Entertainment will take place on December 10th during this year’s edition of the Spike Video Game Awards, Game Informer has gone live with the very first screenshot from the game to tease us into oblivion:
Industry consumer magazine (and site) Game Informer has gone live with the first (supposed) screenshot of BioWare’s next game, which is currently a complete mystery.
If you’re like me, you’ve chomping for any and all news related to the next game set in the Alan Wake franchise, and in mid-December, we’re finally going to be able to see what Remedy has been working on since the original game’s release last year.
This year’s gamescom should have plenty of awesome titles on display, including the likes of Uncharted 3, Journey, Batman: Arkham City, Resistance 3, Gears of War 3, Forza 4, FIFA 12 and Battlefield 3. That’s an unprecedented number of triple A games starting with ‘3!’
Unfortunately, there’s always bound to be some sweet-looking games left off of the itinerary at gamescom, and this year will be no different. I’ve compiled a list of five titles that are looking epic but are unlikely to be shown at the event. Thankfully, four of these are unreleased Japanese titles that may very well make it to the Tokyo Game Show next month, so we shouldn’t have to wait long to gorge ourselves on new footage of these promising titles, even if some of them are still far out to sea in relation to our Western shores.

[Update] Hideo Kojima has additionally revealed that he won’t be attending E3 2011 in person. Details below. [End of Update]
Hideo ‘Metal Gear Solid’ Kojima is always a busy game developer, and if he’s not thinking about the future of his most beloved franchise, working on a project for a year only to have it seemingly scrapped, or dreaming up new ways to thrill us with new technology, then he’s tweeting about his many and varied eating habits.
What about when he’s not doing any of that? He’s answering questions about Metal Gear Solid, and telling us about mysterious voice recording sessions (with pictures, to boot!).
What does the maestro have to say about MGS? Taken from a recent edition of the Kojima Productions Report podcast (in Japanese, translated by Andriasang.com), here are some answers:
It’s not the best time to be a fan of Japanese games. Highly anticipated releases like Final Fantasy Versus XIII, The Last Guardian and Metal Gear Solid: Rising seem to be stuck in development hell judging by how long they’re taking to crawl their way to retail.
Those of us hoping for a timely release of Rising will be cringing at the news that leaked Gamestop documents in the Official Xbox Magazine’s possession point to a November 2nd 2012 release date.
It was rumoured into existence before the game had even been released, but now Ubisoft has confirmed the speculation: The character of Raiden from the Metal Gear Solid franchise does indeed make an appearance in the publisher’s latest open-world action game, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.
How do you unlock the skin of this guest star? Simply by completing various tasks in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’s virtual training mode – the video below will help clue you in:
Were you expecting to ‘cut and take’ in 2011 with Kojima Productions’ next Metal Gear action game, Metal Gear Solid: Rising?
According to a report on Kotaku, you’ll have to wait until 2012 to slash robots in half with an impossibly sharp sword, and snatch out their delicious energy-soaked innards.
Zan-Datsu, according to Hideo Kojima, means ‘to cut and to take,’ and in these screenshots for the developer’s next title, Metal Gear Solid: Rising, we can see the results of protagonist Raiden’s ‘cutting,’ as pillars, people, vans and cyborgs are shown lying in ruins, sliced clean in half.
There isn’t a whole lot of ‘taking’ in the screenshots, though, but we’re told that Raiden (who’s become a cyborg himself during events that take place between Metal Gear Solid 2 and 4) will require sustenance (i.e. health) from energy ‘taken’ from defeated enemies.
To see Metal Gear Solid: Rising in motion, you can watch the debut trailer over here, but there are also a few stills for you to peruse below:
Perhaps you’ve already seen a version of Metal Gear Solid: Rising’s debut E3 2010 trailer. Perhaps.
But if you haven’t seen it just yet, you’re definitely missing out: not only does Metal Gear Solid series protagonist Raiden star in the action, but he effortlessly destroys one of the meanest looking robotic soldiers seen in a game… well one of the meanest I’ve ever seen, at any rate.
Continue on down below to watch a truly fantastic debut trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Rising, which then goes on to show Raiden cutting up in-game people using a neat player-decided cutting technique:
Microsoft’s E3 2010 press conference wrapped up a little while ago, and included some great announcements, reveals and showings of many different games and new hardware.

[Update] You can watch many of the trailers and in-game videos shown during Microsoft’s press conference in a collection of videos over here. [Update]
Microsoft kicked off E3 2010 in the traditional way today with its annual press conference, revealing all kinds of exciting new games, applications and hardware.
For El33tonline’s full report on the happenings and showings at the publisher’s event, head on down below:
While Metal Gear Solid: Rising, the Raiden-starring next entry to the Metal Gear Solid saga, was only shown at the Microsoft’s E3 2009 press conference, that doesn’t mean it’s Xbox 360 exclusive, as Konami have recently confirmed that the title will be heading to PlayStation 3 and PC as well.
This marks the first time that a Metal Gear Solid title will be released simultaneously on three different platforms. European Marketing Director for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH, Martin Schneider commented:
“The Metal Gear Solid series has always pushed the bar with its cinematic visuals and entertaining story line. Now even more gamers can immerse themselves in the franchise and experience the groundbreaking series as Metal Gear Solid: Rising heads to the platform of their choice.”
(Update: Now includes debut trailers for the revealed games, including Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Left 4 Dead 2, Halo: Reach and others.)
The beginning of the Microsoft Press Conference was nerve-wracking to wait for, as there were all kinds of possibilities to come, but we seemed to get a few exciting announcements, with Xbox 360 exclusives and special reveals, and a new motion control system demonstrated to good effect.
