What’s up guys? Got some really cool news this week in regards to video games, so lets get to it!!
First of all, PAX Prime happened this past weekend. And with PAX Prime, comes so cool news.
First off, Hideo Kojima had been teasing a big reveal regarding the 25th anniversary of the Metal Gear Solid franchise. A few days before PAX, Kojima announced that a new Metal Gear game, title, “Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes,” was on it’s way, and was going to be an open world game. Much different from the normal format of a Metal Gear game. Metal Gear Solid has always been a linear story franchise. You knew your objective, you went where you needed to go to proceed through the story. Well, at PAX, Kojima let audiences in on the 14 minute trailer to officially reveal Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. And here it is!
As you could see, you will be playing as Naked Snake(AKA Big Boss), aka, the Snake you played as in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. As those who are familiar with the Metal Gear universe, the Solid Snake that we all know, is in fact a clone of Big Boss(Naked Snake). So there you go. But there are certainly some questions. like for instance, whats with the kid in the cage? Or, who’s the scarred up dude? But I’m sure questions will be answered as the game gets closer to release.
Next, as you may recall, we got an interview with Jay from Twisted Pixel, and he talked a little about their upcoming game, LocoCycle. Don’t believe me? Well, here’s the interview right here.
See? Told ya! Anyway, here’s the first gameplay trailer for LocoCycle!
Pretty cool huh? I’m definitley keeping my eye out for that one!
And last but certainly not least, Halo 4 news.
What else can be said? Halo 4 is going to be the SHIT! And as the release date gets closer, more and more exciting announcements keep coming out. And PAX was no exception. First of all, we find out that Grifball will be apart of Halo 4 multiplayer. And it’s getting it’s own playlist. And they’re putting new features into the game type. I’ll let the trailer and demo explain everything for you.
YOU CAN THROW THE BALL AROUND!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT!?!?!?
Now, some of you may be asking yourselves, what is Grifball? Well, Grifball started out as a custom game in Halo 3 made by the guys from Rooster Teeth, who make Red vs Blue. But why Grifball? Well, let me show you where the name came from.
Yep, a Red vs Blue joke became a Halo 3 game type that took the gaming universe by storm. Now, some of you may be asking yourselves, “How does Grifball work?” Well, luckily for all of us, our friends from Red vs Blue made a video to teach us the rules of Grifball.
See? there you go.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this week in video game news! Tune in next week and hopefully I can find some other stuff to talk about!
Hey guys. Here’s some RTX news that excite some, and disappoint others. RTX is now officially SOLD OUT!!
Yep. Sold out. No more tickets available at the door anymore.
That means that 4000 tickets were sold for RTX. That’s a lot of people.
For those who got a ticket, awesome! Have a good time! For those who weren’t able to purchase a ticket, bummer. But there’s always next year!
RTX is gonna be great, if you are going and haven’t checked out the schedule of events or the guests list, do it! There’re gonna be some great guests and panels lined up and a badass mixer on Saturday night featuring Trocadero and Jeff Williams!
Hope to see some of you guys there!
Well, I said that Rooster Teeth was gonna have a big announcement this week concerning RTX and well, here it is.
RTX will be the event that will hold the first ever hands on gameplay preview of Halo 4!! That’s right, RTX will be the first place in the world that fans can get their hands on Halo 4!
I personally cannot wait for that. Hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to get my hands on it at some point that weekend.
Along with the Halo 4 announcement, a keynote speaker has been announced as well. And that man is none other than YouTube sensation Freddie Wong, also know as freddiew.
Some confirmed exhibitors for RTX will be Game Over Video Games, Twisted Pixel, Button Mash Productions, and Penny Arcade.
Confirmed special guests will be Mega 64, Jason Saldana who plays the voice of Tucker on RvB, Jenn Brown who plays the voice of Agent Carolina on RvB, and too many more to list right now.
To say the least, RTX is really starting to look incredible. The list of guests and exhibitors is already quite impressive, but now that Halo 4 is gonna be there for the fans to play, this is gonna make RTX a big time event for video games this summer.
You can still get tickets online at rtxevent.com until this Friday, June 22. Tickets are $45 plus fees and taxes. But if you wait until the day of the event, tickets will cost $60. So save yourself $10 and order online if you haven’t already.
RTX 2012 will be July 7-8 in Austin, TX at the Austin Convention Center.
And stay tuned this week. I will actually be doing an interview with Gus Sorola, who is a co-founder of Rooster Teeth, main man in charge of RTX 2012, and plays the voice of Simmons in Red vs Blue. We will be talking about RTX and the recent Halo 4 news!!
What’s up guys? Well, today is the day! At 1:00 pm Central Standard Time you can purchase your tickets for RTX 2013!!!
