Devil May Cry's Dante/Hunted: The Demon's Forge/Skyrim News!

Happy Tuesday everyone, big news for you today!  I'm going to be doing a "morph-post" of sorts, with three different pieces of information in one.


There have been a lot of talk about video games now turning into movies and I'm personally glad that someone's catching on to the need that we have to see our favourite characters being immersed into a live action film where we can sit and enjoy them without a controller for at least a hour and a half.  This proves no different for Screen Gems who just bought the film rights to Capcom's Devil May Cry.

Our favourite demon hunter Dante will be thrown into a deep and twisted plot thanks to Kyle Ward (Kane & Lynch) who has been assigned to write the movie.  Screen Gems is hoping that they can emmulate the video game/movie crossover Resident Evil and create a movie series of Devil May Cry.



The only question on our minds is if they will decide to use the classic or new version of Dante.  Basically whether they decide to go with bad ass Japanese anime style Dante or the new age emo version of Dante.  We're guessing they'll go with the latter considering that Edward Cullen has had such a wonderful impression on the kids of today, since there's nothing better than a soul tortured vampire haha.

The movie is quite obviously extremely early in production and so we don't have many updates on it right now, but we will be sure to keep you updated!

-----------------------------------------------

By now we've all heard of Hunted: The Demon's Forge, Bethesda's new baby that they will be releasing on June 1st.  We were lucky enough to get the details on who will be taking the part of voice acting for one of the main character's, Seraphine.  Do you remember Xena or maybe the gorgeous Lucretia from Spartacus?  Yeah, Lucy Lawless will be taking the part of Seraphine in the video game.  "After playing the heroine for so long it's refreshing to portray such a villainous, seductive temptress!" the actress said.

Now for more Skyrim news, the trailer is officially available on Xbox Live for you to download and view on your HDTV.

There's also a My Little Pony/Skyrim mash up is available for you to enjoy on the internet, maybe it'll hold off any needs until 11.11.11 though I doubt that watching a 2:50 minute video is going to relieve the need.

Oh boy I sound like an addict.......

Hunted: The Demon's Forge

Set to be released on 6/1/11 and published by Bethesda Softworks, is another game titled Hunted: The Demon's Forge.  There is very little talk throughout the gaming community about this game, which makes the thought of purchasing it even more enticing.

From what our sources say, the story revolves around two main characters: E'lara and Caddoc.  Both characters are soldiers in battle and they journey around the world on a mission to find villagers that have been disappearing ever since corrupted and heinous creatures have been emerging from the depths of the Earth.  In a nutshell, it's a protagonist/antagonist clash between heroes and villains.  Even the premise of this plot sounds promising, even with the limited amount of information given to us at this time.

As for the game play, the game will not only have a single player story mode but it will also be accompanied by a co-op multiplayer WITHOUT split screen.  I've heard of millions of co-op multiplayer games with split screen but I have yet to experience a game where you don't have to worry about how tiny your screen is, and who's player is on the top half or the bottom half.  At least there won't be any debates about 'screen peeking'.

Let's talk a little more about the characters.

E'lara is an elf who specializes with bows and light weaponry, she is a fighter from the very depths of her soul and is extremely hostile and dangerous.  Her part in the plot is that her fellow villagers were murdered by creatures deemed 'minotaurs' when she was a young girl and she was the only survivor of the massacre.

Her specialized weapon is a bow called 'Sky Splitter' and her specialized spell is called 'Dragons Breath.'








Caddoc is most definitely the strongest out of the duo, he is a fierce warrior who wields a frightening weapon titled the Brutal Cudgel.  Caddoc is calm and collected but is extremely intellectual in every aspect of his life.  When he was a young boy, a harsh and rash decision that he made forced him to lose his lover and therefore he watches every step that he takes and makes sure that every move that he makes is a good one.  Ever since the accident where he lost the love of his life, he refuses to get emotionally attached to those he saves.









As for the villains/the monsters, we'll give you a small list so you can get a taste of what you are to experience.  There are frightening Demons, they are the most feared creature in the game because they are created out of pure evil.  The second creature that you should be wary of are Wargar Guardians.  They are known to hide underground but as the days have gotten darker, they have been known to walk above ground now.  They worship their Queen, the Queen of Darkness.


Overall you can expect similar gameplay as Gears of War with the RPG aspect but focussing more so on the co-operative elements of the game, with a unique take on a plot.

Take a look at the trailer via (Machinima) and stay tuned for our next update.

Enjoy!
