Not So Cartoony Now

Watch the trailer first.


Look familiar? Well if you pay attention as to who is developing this game then maybe a question mark is floating above your head right now. 5th Cell, the people behind DS titles such as Scribblenauts and Drawn To Life are making this shooter for Xbox Live Arcade.

As for how Hybrid will play? We still don't know. Let's just wait a little longer. It's good to see a studio who likes to mix things up. In my opinion more companies should be like that. With what 5th Cell has at the moment is a very good streak. If they can keep that streak alive, that's all you ever needed to know.

Rumors:Eder Scrolls V in development, no official word yet...

Bethesda Games Studio is finally in works on a direct-sequel to the famous Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The last game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was released in xbox 360 and PC in 2006 and was released on the PS3 a year later. No official word from Bethesda or any footage of the game but one thing is for sure, it's in development. Rumors say that in a few weeks they will work with voice actors for their characters.

It's been too long since the last Elder Scrolls and i can't wait what Bethesda has in store for us. If they introduce us with a new engine to run the Elder Scrolls world with less bugs ill be sold. They have been running on the same engine for quite awhile, tweaking it and using it in their Fallout Games. Again no official word from the developers but good to know its being worked on.

Keiji Inafune Leaves Capcom

Capcom legend and father of Rockman / Megaman has left the company he's been with for 23 years. His full job title had been Head of R&D Management Group, Consumer Games R&D Division and Contents Management Division. His final post on his blog (which is now closed) titled "Sayonara", Inafune explained why he decided to leave.

"A manager's work means evaluating your subordinates and speaking your dreams. Anyone who can do both of those can be a manager. I thought that when I came here, and I still think that now."

I guess Inafune-san wasn't kidding when he said he hated his job. This is a sa d turn of events following the announcement of Megaman Legends 3.

Mega Man Legends is apparently Inafune's favorite series in the Mega Man franchise. "We have wanted to create a new installment in this series for a number of years," Inafune said in a video letter last month. "And it is great that we now have the opportunity to bring this title to the Nintendo 3DS."

Gamers will have the opportunity to play Mega Man Legends 3 when it is released next year, but Inafune unfortunately won't have the opportunity to see it to completion.

Shinji Mikami Making His Last Game

The man responsible for creating some of the well known titles such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry is going to stop directing games after his next unannounced title and instead will focus on running his new company.

This new title after Shadow of the Damned will be created at Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda.

"That's something I was planning for from the start," Mikami said. "I can only last for so long handling both director and company president duties, and besides, I want to give our younger developers a chance. Knowing that, of course, makes me want to put all of my experience, my energy, and everything else I've got into this game."

"I'm pretty lucky that [Bethesda] was willing to accept that, too. Too many publishers are only interested in the very near future, after all."

Dont' Blame Bethesda for Everything

With all the hype and lolz everyone's been having with Fallout: New Vegas. Don't forget that this wasn't developed by Bethesda. Sure it's their IP and engine but New Vegas was headed by Obsidian, a developer that specializes in making sequels. But don't let the bugs throw you off, the game does have improvements over the original Fallout: 3 and sure enough it has content that will entertain you for months. Patches will be released to resolve problems in the game so don't worry about it too much.

Just be informed that Bethesda isn't alone in this installment of Fallout. So the next time someone's head twists or your party members fall through the floor, think of Obsidian and wonder if their QA team had the same exact experience and just shrugged it off with a "lol".
