TheAxeWielder | Daniel Kayser — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:43:50 +0000

SOCOM fans that already heard this week’s announcement of SOCOM 4 and then tuned into last night’s GTTV to check out the debut teaser might also be interesting in scoping the below “Director’s Commentary” of said trailer which includes, as one might suspect, commentary that delivers “key information” about the game.

How..vague…

This according to the Official US PlayStation Blog post where I happened to find it, and since it so vague and somewhat intriguing, why not join me in watching the vid and finding out what this “key information” really is…It’ll be like going on a secret mission or something.

Trials HD Inspires RedLynx TV

TheAxeWielder | Daniel Kayser — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 15:09:45 +0000

We KNOW for a fact that there are PLENTY of you that are enjoying RedLynx’s Trials HD so we’re letting you know that the dev has launched a new YouTube channel, RedLynx TV, to showcase and support your passion for virtually breaking your neck. The new channel highlights “player-demanded” content, such as tutorials, tournaments, and other valuable info about RedLynx games.

“Trials HD is our hottest game to date,” said Tero Virtala, CEO of RedLynx. “Ever since its launch, players have been clamouring for tips, tricks, and extra goodies. With this dedicated YouTube channel, we can reward them directly, developer to gamer.”

RedLynx TV will feature a mix of ‘official info’ and user-generated content created spontaneously by the player community. An example of this are the Trials HD videos created for RedLynx TV. These videos were created by John Lloyd of Michigan, USA, a dedicated Trials player and a graphic design/video creation professional, in cooperation with RedLynx. Lloyd’s videos feature tips and tricks, user-created levels, and the first ever RedLynx TV contest.

“John’s work had a level of dedication to the game we could not ignore,” said Antti Ilvessuo, creative director and co-founder of RedLynx. “Our games are about community, so we had to come up with a way to share this passion with everyone. We’re starting with Trials but we want to talk with our fans about all of our games, going forward. This is a great way to get that started.”

Cool, so, check out the first video above or head to the aforementioned YouTube channel for more.

Dante’s Inferno DLC Info Leaked, New Screens Released

TheAxeWielder | Daniel Kayser — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:21:32 +0000

With a week to go until the release of EA’s Dante’s Inferno, it appears that at least one copy of the game has slipped under the radar and into the hands of an individual possessing both a love of DLC and internet movies. Uploaded earlier today, a featurette apparently contained on the game disc reveals the “Trials of St Lucia” DLC which, according to Senior Producer Hans ten Cate, is a “downloadable expansion that brings mutliplayer co-op and content creation to the game”.

At its core, it appears that the content will serve to allow co-op gameplay within custom-created “Trials” that will be uploaded then download and ranked by users via the game’s servers. The content will also feature exclusive baddies and the ability to play as St Lucia who is referred to as Dante’s “Guardian Angel” of sorts.

Per the video, the content is expected to be released on April 29.

Now, while this is still unofficial, we DID get a few new OFFICIAL screens from Dante’s Inferno today which you can check out inside the game’s gallery here on EBA.

Check out the video for the ‘Trials of St Lucia’ DLC after the jump and stay tuned for any more info on the content as it emerges.
