PAX Prime is upon us, which means that once again we shall be hit by a deluge of trailers for many of our most anticipated games. Today, we bring you the latest trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2, the sequel for Square Enix’s most recent entry in the flagship franchise. For more, read our preview of the game.
News
Nintendo dropped quite the bombshell on us early this morning, with a few accompanying announcements under the surface. The big news? Starting August 12, the 3DS’ price drops from $249.99 to $169.99. That’s not all, though, as they announced free games for early adopters, the fall lineup and some underlying plans.
At this year’s E3, we got the chance to talk to illustrious designer Dave Grossman, currently the design lead at Telltale Games, about the company’s projects. Some highlights:
ON TELLTALE’S NEW PROJECTS:
“We’re in a place where we’re exploring new territory for ourselves, exploring more serious material.”
ON SCORING MICHAEL J. FOX FOR BACK TO THE FUTURE’S FINAL EPISODE:
“You can’t just walk up to Michael, hand him a wad of cash and say ‘be in our game.’ You have to convince him.”
ON THE PLANNING FOR THE NEW KING’S QUEST GAME:
“We did call Roberta Williams. She is unwilling to come out of retirement for any reason at all, but she was super nice about it.”
ON LAW & ORDER: LA’S CANCELLATION RIGHT AFTER TELLTALE ANNOUNCED A GAME BASED ON IT:
“That was so annoying. I’m not sure exactly how that’s going to sort itself out.”
Can’t get enough E3 coverage? Great, because we have a lot more of it! Here’s one more gallery from the show.
Notice anything different around here? Yes, we’ve implemented our new redesign. This format will allow us to do what we do better. We hope, anyway. We’re still cleaning some things up, so let us know what you think and let us know of any issues! Most importantly, stay tuned for tons of previews, news, reviews and… oh yeah, a few giveaways.
Thanks for reading.
