EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: specialedition
Every major videogame needs a majorly impressive special edition to coincide with the release of that title, and so it is that Rockstar has just announced a special limited edition version of Max Payne 3, the studio’s next noir-drenched action adventure game.
Just in case you weren’t excited enough already about Insomniac Games’ upcoming blockbuster first-person shooter, Resistance 3, here’s a trailer of the Survivor Edition to take your excitement up another notch.
We were already envious of our fellow gamers in North America when they got a release date for the English version of Catherine (26 July) and we didn’t. To then learn that they would be getting an awesome Deluxe Edition for a mere $20 more (about R140 extra) drove up the jealousy stakes to dangerous heights. If there was ever a time to go the import route, this is it.
Insonmiac Games has revealed details for the new Resistance 3 Doomsday Edition.
Along with confirming the release date for Insomniac Games’ upcoming Resistance 3, Sony has also revealed details of the pre-order bonuses and special editions for both North America and Europe.
If you’re a gamer living in the PAL regions then you can look forward to a Special Edition as well as a Survivor Edition of the game. And if you pre-order the game you’ll also get a few special bonus items such as the SRPA Black Ops skin and the Infected Nathan Hale skin (depending on your locale and retailer).
