Yep, Video Friday is now Video Thursday. Because Thursday just says “moving images” more than Friday, which says “new games, where can I buy ‘em?!”
First up is another video of the Far Cry 2 editor, in a sort of ‘versus LittleBigPlanet’ remix. If the level editor’s anywhere near as powerful as implied in this video, FC2 could be on to a real winner.
Welcome back, after a short break, to another Video-Friday. There will be laughter, there will be tears, there will be buffering but most importantly there will be videos aplenty. Fasten your seatbelts as we throw every recommendation we’ve noted since, well, before the holiday season at you!
Video Gaiden is a Scottish TV show revolving around the world of video-games. It mixes comedic video-game related skits with reviews, features and angry rants on the modern-gaming industry.
Unlike the televised first and second series, Series 3 was released through their website and is available for all to see (except perhaps those who live outside the British Isles and even if you guys can access it, it’s encrypted through a system we like to call the Scottish accent).
As you may remember, we are fans of Escapist video-series De-Rez. As such, we feel the deontological obligation to recommend to you, one of the finest De-Rez episodes as of yet - just in case you missed our initial recommendation (or perhaps if you didn’t like it the first time you saw it).
Anyway… this new episode shows you the trailers which didn’t appear at E3 this year. There must be a reason though… mustn’t there?
Shock News! Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway still exists IGN have posted a couple of new videos (see below) and written a preview of the game I was most excited about after last year’s E3.
Destructible environments, squad-based WWII tactics, great AI - BiA: HH topped my Wanted list, beating off the likes of Crysis and Call of Duty 4.
And finally, a look back at the greatest show to have ever graced television. It needs no introduction, so some might call me a fool for giving it one. Here it is, the show that spawned a thousand gamers…
Back from my wacky adventures in this great nation’s capital, I’m here to bring you Video Friday once again!
Drunk on power after he was assigned the task of posting VidFri last week, Daniel also has a suggestion this time around:
We’re getting to that time of year when all of the girls and boys in the industry are busy readying E3 for what will no doubt be “the best E3 I’ve ever been to” yet again. For now, cast your memory back to 2006 and Nintendo’s press conference.
Where were you when you first saw the Wii promo? Personally, I was glued to Gamespot watching the live conference and literally jumping around the room having a nerdgasm over the thought of swinging a light-saber. By actually swinging my arm.
Oh the power a bit of well-made video can wield. The Wii was all set to shatter modern conventions about what gaming is. For me, though I do enjoy playing on the Wii, it’s not been the Earth-shattering experience I expected. But then again it was never going to be.
Probably the worst best thing Nintendo did to us was tease us (without ever lying about what the technology could do) and let our imaginations run wild.
And so I present to you that very first video that had fanboys across the globe proclaiming that life as we knew it was about to end:
Daniel takes a shot at the new feature, bearing gifts of faux art-house and nostalgia.
First and fore-mostly we bring you a trailer from the heydays of Sega. The promotional video advertising the opening of Segaworld. When I was a child I absolutely loved Segaworld, although considering the unholy amount of money I estimate spending there, I doubt the same could be said about my parents at the time! It had everything a Kid could want from a day out; A great day out to London, the world-class capital of England; Theme park rides, Indoors!; hundreds of coin-op arcade games; Dodgems; Bowling; 3D Cinema, Virtual Reality video games and finally those games where you put in a 10p coin and wait and see if you get lucky enough to cause the multitude of similar coins to go off balance and fall into your greedy little hands while you cackle like a demon and feed the coins back in (of course the machines look more tantalising and unstable every time you look at them and I suppose that’s why you always leave out of pocket). That’s not to say it isn’t fun though (god I’m starting to sound like a British X-E).
Anyway, The Trailer…
