Minimur, WTH Happened This Week? Media Molecule, TellTale Series 3 Confirmed And An Optimus PS1!
So this week, along with the news that there’s been a mysterious Email sent out by Bioware, about their next project, and also the actors for The Last Of Us movie has been announced, oh! and there’s been a trailer for the ET documentary Xbox are backing, come an take a look!
First of, as always; PS Vita games (and a new funny japanese advert)
PHANTOM BREAKER: BATTLE GROUNDS – July 29
Akiba’s Trip – Confirmed for US on August 12th
Aaaand here’s an awesome advert from Japan, advertising the PS Vita, here’s the necesary translation you’ll need to know when you watch it;
The first child says He’s an adult!” (大人だ! “otona da”), and after, the announcer saying, “For you who aren’t grade schoolers anymore.”
After, the same child says ‘It’s totally different from mine” when he sees the bigger kid play with the PS Vita. He then says, “Amazing, the color is different” while he plays some more.

If I’ve missed any PS Vita game announcements for this week, I’m sure you guys can let us know in the comment box downstairs! right?
It was announced recently that The Last Of Us will also have a Photo Mode, like inFamous: Second Son. There’s been a video describing it on the PS Blog, much like the video that SuckerPunch made describing the photo mode.
Here it is:

More about The Last Of Us, is that the actors for Joel and Ellie have made it announced who they have in mind for the duo, and they are some familiar names. They are;
Maise Williams as Ellie
Bruce Campbell as Joel
Along with the announcement, attendee’s were also given a free poster for the film:
Man, I’m jealous.
More news that came from San Diego ComicCon, was about Telltale.
Believe it or not, they’ve annnounced a Series 3 of The Walking Dead series. Now this is brilliant, being as I’m quite a fan of the game series, but I really wish they could just make their games to a higher standard, anyone who’s played either The Wolf Among Us or TWD, will know that there’s game freezes, problems with loading, and sometimes out of Sync voice to animation. It’s bloody annoying and ruins the vibe that they are trying so hard to create. It’s a real shame.
Anyway, I’m not expecting this anytime soon, being as they’re planning on bringing their games to next gen, along with finishing TWD series 2, and also the projects they have going, Borderlands and Game of Thrones.
But hey, at least it’s on its way…. sometime in the future…

Who mentioned media Molecule?Sony insider Tidux did!
So it seems that Media Molecule have begin teasing their new game, with a strange video titled ‘Making games: Embrace your mistakes’
It’s bloody weird, here it is below:
Tidux mentioned how Mm have began teasing, and although it’s not much it’s definitely not nothing.
fun that #MM has begun teasing, can not wait till you get to see their new project. #PS4

@Boke18 yes — Tidux (@Tidux) July 21, 2014
Remember guys, this is a Rumour, but it’s definitely about time Mm annnounced their project, being as it was actually showcased back at the PS4 reveal event. 1 and a half years ago.

So here’s the WTH news of the week, an Optimus prime PS1.
Toymaker company Takara Tomy, has decided to mark the 30 year anniversary for Transformers, and the 20 year anniversary for Playstation by creating a PS1 themes Optimus prime, looking at it, it unfortunately doesn’t look functional. As awesome as it is it would be even cooler if it was fully functional!
The toy will be avaliable some time next year, and already have a Mega drive ‘Megatron’ planed for release soon, here he is:

So, about that mysterious email Bioware sent out. Did you get one? I ceertainly did, and was a bit confused as to how they actuaally got my email, maybe EA gave it to them.
Anyway, the email was titled ‘You are chosen’ and linked you to this webpage. The video is quite the tease, and doesn’t really give too much away, but the thing is, someone was clever enough to snoop through the Email itself, and Bioware were clever enough to name of of the photos ‘ShadowRealms_Teaser_Video.jpg’
Damn, I wonder what it could be.
Well, just to back up the possibility that it could be a game from them called Shadow Realms, in the begining of the year, EA registered a game called, yep you guessed it. Shadow Realms. Unfortunately I can’t find a link that says this, you’ll just have to believe the site I got this whole information off of. The Metro…. heh. (Atleast it isn’t Fox news, right?)
The Weekly Blog Round-up

*Just messing Fate6 😉
By the way, it was awesome to know that you guys actually missed me. That’s what keeps me going! Other than actually enjoying writing this, of course!
Side note:
I’m thinking of going to New York as a holiday soon, what are some cool things I HAVE to do before I go back to England?
See you next week! (If not sooner)
I got the same email and completely ignored it. I dont like surprises.
Wait a minute…its a trick! I fell for the trap! You’ll never catch me!
***
I’m totally weird O.o
FIRST!!! Ok, it would be nice to have that Monster Hunter Frontier G on my vita, it’s a console seller after all.
About New York, I don’t know that city but if it were me, I would visit the Liberty Statue and rent a bike to ride around the parks. I wish I could recommend you a bar or a place to party though.
Damn….. I wasn’t first lol
Crazy
was I the only one who saw the ET picture and expected an article having to do with the worst game ever created in all of history?
Hey, we already have that article 🙂 http://wololo.net/2014/04/21/8-days-of-gaming-day-2-the-worst-console-generation/
I bought E.T. You get to fall in pits and make flowers grow. Other than that, you wander aimlessly on a zelda style map… might still be at my fathers house…. Any buyers?
I hope they’re kidding about Bruce Campbell being Joel in TLoU, he’s a great B-grade horror actor but a crappy serious actor.
Hey I’m also British like you are minimur, I went to New York in 2011 and I suggest that the Empire State Building is a must but make sure to book ahead as it can get very busy. Also you should see the Brooklyn bridge and I also walked across it. Time square is also a must. The Statue of Liberty should be fully open again now so u can walk up to a certain point of it which we couldn’t do back in 2011. Go and visit ground zero where the twin towers are but now are a memorial make sure u book ahead for all these things though if it’s available. Use the subway although getting the tickets is confusing as there’s a machine and no one to help. If u don’t use the subway you’ll be completely knack erred. Have fun in NYC!
“anyone who’s played either The Wolf Among Us or TWD, will know that there’s game freezes, problems with loading, and sometimes out of Sync voice to animation”
I didn’t have this problem at all when playing TWD Season 1 on my PC…
And Bruce Campbell in The Last of Us? I would have probably passed on it, but him being in it makes me reconsider.
You should come to Alabama. You’ll see what America really is. Plus you can refute the stereotype that everyone in Alabama “tawks like thius. wee aint awl rednecks!”
O_o Bruce Campbell? didn’t he used to do that tv show call “Burn Notice”? cuz if so…no…they could’va picked someone else better…and wat with the actress playing as Ellie? couldn’t they get that one actress from Beyond: Two Souls since she complained that it look a bit too much like her?
and you should’va warned people about that yt link about the teaser trailer that murmur has uploaded for people with seizure should avoid watching that clip.
“The Metro…. heh. (Atleast it isn’t Fox news, right?)” lol 😆
