System Update: April 16th – April 22nd

THIS WEEKS NOOZ.

Continuing To Answer The Call.

This is not so much news these days, so much as it is confirmation of something everybody knew was already going to happen, but sure enough the next installment in the ‘Call Of Duty’ series is posted for an international reveal on May 1st. Call Of Duty decked out their Facebook Page with a cover photo publicizing the huge reveal over a blurred photo of what one can assume is the character/cover of the next addition to the billion dollar series. Similarly, the official Call Of Duty website is themed in a similar fashion, showing nothing but the same image from Facebook. A countdown timer and a video from FPSRussia featuring a Prototype Quadrotor with Machine Gun and Recon capabilities which is almost assured to be a Killstreak in the upcoming title. No other details as yet, but come May 1st, check out Respawn In 10 for everything known about the next Call Of Duty.

There’s A Crysis On Our Hands!

As reported in last week’s System Update, we were eagerly awaiting the debut trailer for the conclusion of the Crysis trilogy and sure enough, EA and CryTek did not disappoint. Yesterday, Crysis uploaded their first official trailer for the game, needless to say showcasing story, gameplay and Prophet looking like a total badass with his new bow. It looks incredible. The trailer gives quite a decent look into the style of game CryTek are trying to mould here but of course, E3 will tell us more in June.

GoW? Yeah God Of War Did It First, Gears.

It’s been a while since Kratos covered our screens with the blood of whoever is within the vicinity of his Blades Of Chaos and it seems he shall be joining us once again in ‘God Of War: Ascension’. The teaser trailer depicts a time before the senseless killing and over the top violence that the next GoW sets itself in… Wait, God Of War without senseless killing and over the top violence? How can they even call it God Of War!? But seriously kids, don’t worry, I’m sure there’ll be enough blood to fill Madison Square Garden so just hold off on that massacre… For now.

New New Super Mario Bros!

In the spirit of stupidly named sequels of games from Japan we now have New Super Mario Bros. 2 on the horizon for the 3DS. Unless you can speak fluent Japanese the announcement from Satoru Iwata won’t be of much use to you. However, until we wait for an English trailer, there are a few screenshots of the game in this announcement that you can all go over with a fine tooth comb. The most notable of which was Mario flying along, with his Raccoon Tail soaring valiantly back into the series. Yep, that’s right P.E.T.A. you and your claims that this and the Tanookie suit is implying cruelty to animals can fuck right off because lets face it… Mario comes from Japan… I’m pretty sure the whole Whaling thing is a tad more serious.
