Recently we reported on the announcement of DuckTales Remastered, the HD remake of the beloved DuckTales NES title. The remastered version is set to bring the same amazing experience the original did with a host of new upgrades and content.
The original DuckTales game is such a memorable experience for a lot of us with its iconic music and non linear gameplay, something Capcom producer Rey Jimenez ensures us developer WayForward takes very seriously. Jimenez tells us “WayForward is using the NES version as the blueprint for all of the level layouts…most of what you’re going to see will be true to those old maps.” He continued by saying that Remastered hosts a bunch of new features that “were done to enhance” what Capcom and WayForward feel “the original dev team intended…”
DuckTales Remastered will feature HD 3D backgrounds and hand drawn sprites as well as a new hub area that will allow players to “take Scrooge for a dive and swim into his vault of money,” says Jimenez. Money collected in the game can be spent on unlockables in the all new gallery as well.

Devil May Cry: DMC has received a lot of criticism over its somewhat new take on the franchise and today we get word that a familiar face will be playable in the game’s first DLC. Vergil is a character we all know from past iterations, but Dante’s twin brother isn’t necessarily the guy we remember this time around.
Diving into the character’s past, Vergil’s Downfall will be story driven DLC that will act as a prequel to the main game. This is where we get to see a different side of Vergil and the events that occur before Dante comes in to play. Below we have the new Vergil’s Downfall trailer which was released today and features some gameplay footage of him in action.

We already know what to expect from the highly anticipated upcoming Resident Evil 6, as far there being three distinct playable campaigns that all encompass their own style of play. Players will be able to play as three different characters: series veterans Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and the new guy, Jake Mueller. Capcom is keen on showcasing the different style of play each character will bring to the table and today it has released almost 20 full minutes of gameplay to do just that.
The two part gameplay demo seen below features some of Leon Kennedy’s portion of the game, which according to the Capcom blog (via Gametrailers), is described as “tense, atmospheric gameplay”. We see a much more slow, emotional gameplay in the demo below where Leon is “trapped in a zombie-infested Tall Oaks during a night time banquet for the president.” Continue reading “Check Out Gameplay Footage For Leon In Resident Evil 6” »
