Fallout: New Vegas Coming Mid-2010, New Trailer

I seem to recall a while back, in fact it was last month, that this title was said to be coming this year. Now the word is that Fallout: New Vegas will be coming in “Fall” this year, but by saying, that they’re referring to the Northern Hemisphere, so to clear things up a bit for us down in the Southern part of  the world: somewhere in the middle of 2010. I remember reading it was about June, but Fall could mean somewhere in a three month target.

In addition to this, a trailer for the game has been released, showing a glimpse of what the trip to Las Vegas, or what’s left of it, will be like.

Fallout: New Vegas

New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian, published by Bethesda, and it should be out this year. The game is not a sequel to Fallout 3 or any other Fallout title, but is classified as more of a spin-off title in the same series or universe. It does take place on the West Coast of the former United States, more akin to the first Fallout games, and unlike Fallout 3 which took place for the most part on the East Coast, in Washington D.C.

I’m a little doubtful about the Fall release date actually. Even though it’s been in development for some time, we’ve hardly seen anything of the game, although, the word is we’ll be hearing and seeing more of it soon. So things could be looking up.

Rock Band Megadeth DLC: Rust in Peace

Like I’ve said time and time again, I couldn’t care less about these music games, even though I’m a big fan of music in general. But this is something I do care about: There’s a Megadeth DLC coming to Rock Band in the coming week, and all the tracks are from the 1990 classic, Rust in Peace: the album considered by many to not only be one of the band’s best, next to Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying, but also one of the best thrash metal albums ever.

I tend to agree. I’d also be inclined to put Countdown to Extinction up there as well.

The track list, if you don’t know all ready, includes most of the songs off of the album, and as you can see it includes some of their best known songs like the two singles, "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due" and "Hangar 18" . The only one it seems to lack is the bonus track of “My Creation”, but it wasn’t that good anyway.

• "Holy Wars... The Punishment Due"
• "Hangar 18"
• "Take No Prisoners"
• "Five Magics"
• "Poison Was the Cure"
• "Lucretia"
• "Tornado of Souls"
• "Dawn Patrol"
• "Rust In Peace... Polaris"

TrailerBlazer: Metro 2033

This is the one of those cool trailers I watched live on The Verge the other night, which was stacked full of them, including BioShock 2. I’m thinking this is the 3rd trailer that was talked about the other day.

This trailer shows off some stuff like a mounted flamethrower, kind of like a massive machine gun but not. That’s the one thing that caught my attention. It’s looking awesome, this game.

By the way, I was reading the other day that on THQ’s online store, they are giving away Red Faction: Guerrilla for free when you preorder Metro 2033. Initially it was thought this was an exclusive deal, but now you can also get the same deal on where else but Steam. I saw this on Metro 2033’s Twitter page.

Well, according to Steam, it’s 1 month, 1 week, 5 days and 3 hours to go (while typing this). Waiting…

TrailerBlazer: The Secret World

The Secret World Kingsmouth Trailer

The Secret World is a title that was previously referred to by the working titles of Cabal and The World Online. They showed a trailer of this game by Funcom on The Verge recently.

You know, I’d never really paid much attention to this one, but clearly it’s all about zombies or similar looking monsters even though the narrator of this trailer refuses to call them by that name, and it’s been in development for years all ready. The turn off for me is that it’s an MMO, seeing as it’s being made by the same people who made Anarchy Online and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

Moving on, then. Sorry, but MMOs just aren’t my thing.

Aliens vs. Predator Multiplayer Demo Out Today, Available on Steam for PC

There were rumours on the net this week (I remember reading about in on the 2nd) that the AvP demo would be coming out this week. There was promise of a demo quite a while back all ready.

Initially That Videogame Blog spotted that it would be released on Xbox Live this week, but it’s since been revealed that the demo will come out on all platforms including the Xbox 360, PC, and the PS3.

The catch? It’s multiplayer only, obviously and sadly meaning no singleplayer. It should be on Steam, Xbox Live and PlayStation Network as I’m typing this. The good news accompanying the announcement from Sega is that new screenshots and a trailer have been released as well. I’m going to have a look at those some time.

The demo is said to include one map from the game, with one game type, deathmatch, and all three species, the marine, the Xenomorph (Alien), and the Predator being playable.

So, it is a pre-release demo after all, just about two weeks before the full release, which should happen on the 16th of February, 2010.
