XCom trailer.  Basically contains no new information except that they really got the 50s aesthetic style down pat.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

I have a feeling this is a game that would do better without the XCom name attached to it. Not because it looks bad, but because 1)that is still a hell of a name to live up to, and 2)this is clearly not the game that anyone who has fond memories of the original wants (by which I mean a thinking man's game, and not "Bioshock in the pre-war Fallout universe").

The fact of bases, research, and the ability to send a team in and have them all die and continue on from there suggest it's a lot more than just Bioshock.  This is allegedly a game in which you actually can fuck up and fail, in a context beyond the "Game over, reload last checkpoint?" that we've seen so much of these days.

Oh. Hmm. Well, I was going entirely from this trailer, so yeah, if there's more to it then that's a premature assessment. That's still a hefty legacy to put on a game's shoulders though.

We are not going to learn anything about the non-fps parts of the game for a long time, so we can keep on speculating until the game is weeks from release. I don't think slow menu sections are high up on the mainstream videogame trailer agenda.

Combat in the new XCom just looks like the anti-fun :( :( :(

Yeah so here's the real Mortal Kombat trailer.

Mortal Kombat Trailer

Looks like could be decent! A return to the classic 2D style, rather than that gimmicky faux-3d crap, with a tag-team system, and character designs that echo the originals. It actually looks fun!

I've always had a soft spot for Mortal Kombat, and I've been consistently disappointed, similar to what many people go through with Sonic games, but this one...this one could be different.

Or it could be a terrible mess like the last 10 or so MK games(except Shaolin Monks, which was awesome). :shrug:

3D Realms wins lawsuit, keeps Duke Nukem Forever rights. 3D Realms doesn't have any developers anymore, but I don't think that would make any difference.

So, we've managed to avoid talking about how the best pixel artist ever is making the best game ever for the best movie ever based off the best comic ever, and that should probably stop now.

We've also managed to avoid talking about how Telltale Games has acquired the license to Universal Pictures movies, and are now producing Back to the Future and GODDAMN JURASSIC PARK adventure games.

I am looking forward to the game. And I am really glad that it's on PSN/XBLA instead of DS like originally thought
