Un E3 sin un teaser de Fallout, es un E3 perdido

Here’s the trailer for Below, the upcoming Xbox One game by Capybara Games, creators of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP and Super Time Force. As per usual with Capy, it looks charming and artsy as all get out.

El cine ha puesto tantas veces en peligro, convertido en inhabitable o aniquilado nuestro planeta que me empiezo a plantear si no es un milagro que la Tierra aún esté plenamente operativa. Este próximo verano serán varios los blockbusters que jueguen con esa premisa, pero tengo bastante claro que el que espero con más ganas es ‘Elysium‘ (id, 2013), la nueva película de Neill Blomkamp de la que ahora podemos ver su espectacular último tráiler y su cartel final.

Siempre agradeceré que una gran superproducción apueste por una historia original —aunque con muchos referentes— como la de ‘Elysium’, pero no les quedaba otra tras el notable éxito alcanzado por Blomkamp con ‘District 9‘ (id, 2009), su primer largometraje. En ‘Elysium’ nos llevará al año 2154, donde la mayoría de la humanidad vive hacinada en la inmundicia en nuestro planeta mientras los más poderosos disfrutan de toda clase de lujos en una estación espacial y sólo un hombre tendrá el suficiente valor —y necesidad— para intentar conseguir que eso cambie.

Tengo que reconocer que el primer avance no me volvió todo lo loco que esperaba, pero eso ha cambiado con el extenso tráiler que acabamos de ver. Otro de los puntos a favor de ‘Elysium’ es su llamativo reparto, en el cual encontramos, entre otros, a Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley —actor fetiche de Blomkamp—, William Fichtner, Wagner Moura, Diego Luna y Alice Braga. ‘Elysium’ se estrenará en España el próximo 16 de agosto, justo una semana después de su llegada a los cines de Estados Unidos.

I love the internet. Why? Because the internet allows me to see things like this 80′s style Jon Snow training montage.

I have only two things I’d change.

1) Leave out the non-GoT footage because there’s enough of that to make this work.

2) Use You’re The Best by Joe Esposito and do homage to The Karate Kid.

Or Eye of The Tiger.

Get on it Internet!

Check it out after break.

Is there an animal skull level of Super Mario Bros? After seeing this trippy art, I’m convinced there needs to be. Artist Tobias Wüstefeld had some animal skulls lying around and decided to sculpt itty bitty Goombas, Koopas, and more to make a level from Super Mario Bros on top of the skulls. It’s surrealistic and wacky, and I’d love to add these to one of my bookshelves.

If you’re near Berlin, you can see these as part of the 8 Bit Art Show in September.

Everyone loves to remix and adapt the famous overworld theme from The Legend of Zelda, but the franchise has its share of memorable dungeon themes that deserve their own share of attention.  Nintendo has released a video from the traveling The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert series in which the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Hammersmith Apollo, London performs a medley of beloved dungeon songs from across the franchise.  It's just what you need on this Friday.  Be sure to pick up the boss key on your way to the inner sanctum or else you'll just have to backtrack.

Mighty Oaks, Little Acorns is ambitious. With two weeks left to go in her pregnancy, she decided to redecorate her boys’ bedroom in fantastic Adventure Time style. She wanted to include all the characters possible so she drew them and had them printed at Staples. I think she got the entire cast in on the fun! All she did to stick them to the wall was use Simply Tacky so they can come right down without too much fuss.

The bright bright bedding that provides the finishing touch is from Ikea, and I love all the tiny plush toys around the room. I’m floored by the amount of Adventure Time merchandise available!

More photos of the room after the break.

This 10ft long Wizard of Oz diorama was on display last weekend at Brickworld 2013 in Chicago. It featured all the movie’s biggest scenes and included a working tornado! The piece was constructed by a team of 12 builders from VirtuaLUG who assembled separate sections of the diorama and then brought them together at the Brickworld where they won the Collaborative Display award.

There’s an incredible attention to detail with black-and-white scenes from Kansas, a Yellow Brick Road with ultra-violet lighted poppy fields, and a motorized tornado complete with flying witches and Dorothy’s little house.

Maybe you’re on the fence about Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and its whole pirate-centric motif. Well, you should let this latest clip reveal one crucial gameplay element to you: pirates were basically partying all the time. And lead character Edward Kenway can just sit down and have a drink with his fellow salty dogs when they’re chilling on the beach.

Bark Kent: Man’s Best Friend

Man of Steel, arguably the biggest action movie of the summer dropped this weekend and MWD wanted to pay homage to America’s favorite hero the only way we know how. With menswear! Here’s our nod to our favorite take on the character, Christopher Reeve’s version of Supes and his surprisingly dapper alter ego, Clark Kent.

The debate rages on with whether or not newcomer Henry Cavill lives up to the hype, but I think we’ll always prefer the oldschool version, red undies and all.

Look, I know there's this underground movement trying to get Monster Hunter going in the West, but most people - myself included - just aren't feeling it. Mostly that's down to the combat and reliance on party multiplayer, but I'm starting to wonder if the game's looks don't have something to do with it.

As I wade through the dark and depressing world of The Last of Us, I slowly fill with a sort of gloomy despair — a despair that can only be countered by anime frivolity and quick-time eating, courtesy of Nippon Ichi's The Witch and The Hundred Knights for the PlayStation 3.

For many, DuckTales is a beloved game—and I imagine that the mere idea of messing with it isn't an appealing one. But after a chat at E3 with Matt Bozon, dreative director at WayForward, and Austin Ivansmith, director, it seems that many of the changes in the remastered version of DuckTales are things that fans can look forward to.

Stephen Pakbaz‘s MSL Curiosity Rover project on LEGO CUUSOO hit 10,000 supporters 10 months ago, but today LEGO is announcing that Curiosity will become the next new LEGO set through the CUUSOO program.

(This is Stephen’s project photo. I expect the final product may be slightly different. We’ll share the official product photos when we get them.)

Here’s the official announcement:

Results of the Fall 2012 LEGO® Review

We’re excited to share the results of the Fall LEGO® Review. In September, three LEGO CUUSOO projects entered the second quarterly review period for projects that successfully reach 10,000 supporters. These three projects — the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover, UCS Sandcrawler™, and Thinking with Portals!™ — have been being considered for production by the LEGO Review Board.

21104 Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover – pending final name confirmation

It is with great pleasure we reveal that the next LEGO CUUSOO set will be the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover, based upon the LEGO CUUSOO project by Perijove.

This project rose to popularity in late summer 2012, when the real Mars Curiosity Rover approached and landed on the planet Mars in its historic mission. The model designer, LEGO CUUSOO user Perijove is a Mechanical Engineer who worked on the actual Curiosity rover at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Perijove writes that he built and submitted the rover to further the educational outreach of the Mars Curiosity rover’s incredible mission, and to encourage greater public support for space exploration.

The final product is still in development. Exact pricing and availability is still being determined, so stay tuned for an update on when you can buy your own Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover in the coming months.

Tim Courtney shares the news in this video:

Personally, I couldn’t be more excited. This is easily my favorite LEGO CUUSOO project from the past 18 months, and is one of the best projects that reflects the spirit of CUUSOO. I know many of you out there will be disappointed that the Star Wars and Portal projects weren’t approved, but I hope you can join me in giving Stephen Pakbaz some well-deserved congratulations!

Update: Caylin and Chris are there at BrickWorld, and Caylin got this shot of the model they used to make the announcement there in Chicago:

It looks essentially identical to the one Stephen used for the project itself, so that’s a good sign, though I also expect that it’s still going through the redesign project with LEGO.

Las secuelas en la escena independiente no son muy usuales, pero parece que durante este reciente E3 dos de los juegos más conocidos tendrán segundas partes, aunque por el momento los detalles brillan por su ausencia claro. En primer lugar apareció el primer vídeo teaser de FEZ II, y que excepto porque confirma que Polytron está trabajando con Disasterpeace, no desvela mucho más. Eso sí, gran ambientación musical:

Por otro lado, Hotline Miami 2 tuvo una presentación algo más atípica, jugando con los mensajes en la cuenta oficial de twitter en la que informaba que "en algún lugar en las afueras del E3" estaban mostrando el juego a algunos afortunados. Un anuncio muy confuso que ha contado con el beneplácito de algunas revistas online del sector como Joystiq y el inicio de una acción en internet por crear vídeos (muy chorras por cierto) con Vine. Tan sólo una captura aparentemente real del juego ha trascendido, y lo cierto es que parece que poco ha cambiado con respecto a la primera entrega:

Las fotos dejaban entrever que la presentación se estaba realizando en una especie de caravana, como así parece tras nueva confirmación de los chicos de Joystiq. ¿La alternativa a una feria eminentemente pensada para la industria como el E3? Lo cierto es que la polémica no se ha hecho esperar con respecto a la decisión de producir dos secuelas por parte de dos de los diseñadores que precisamente más han renegado de las típicas maniobras comerciales de las grandes productoras.

Los de Sony son unos trolls de cuidado, pero no le voy a negar que tienen bastante sentido del humor, y han aprovechado para zurrarle a XBOX One por donde ésta les ha dejado (o sea, por todos los lados), y de paso han aprovechado para colar cosas como un online de pago, pues para jugar a través de Internet PS4 requerirá una cuenta PSN y suscripción a PS Plus. Tenía que llegar…

Final Fantasy X was not my first Final Fantasy, nor is it my favorite by a long shot, but it was the Final Fantasy that gave the characters voices, so it'll always be strange and wonderful to me, especially in HD.

Ben Caukins spent the past 7 months constructing the Normandy SR2 from Mass Effect, proving yet again that he’s not afraid to build large curved ships. The ship measures almost 4 feet long with a wingspan of 19 inches. It will be displayed at Brickworld this weekend in Chicago. You can check out work-in-progress pictures on Flickr.
