City of Heroes celebrates the official Going Rogue launch with a new trailer
In case you've managed to miss the news, the latest expansion for City of Heroes has launched today. Well, technically it launched yesterday, but that was for customers who had pre-purchased via the NCsoft store. Today remains the official launch of Going Rogue, and to both commemorate the occasion and drum up more interest, Paragon Studios has released an official launch trailer for the expansion. And if you've somehow missed all of the ramp-up to the launch, well, now would be the perfect time to catch up. Going Rogue is a pretty big expansion for the game's core, and the video (embedded past the cut) shows off the many new elements while also highlighting the familiar City of Heroes engine. Featuring the option to switch between heroic and villainous factions as well as a revamped starting experience, it's the perfect time for a new player to jump on. And if you get in that mood after seeing the trailer, well, we do have a contest running at the moment...
Realtime Worlds releases APB intro cinematic
Realtime Worlds and Electronic Arts have released the opening cinematic for their upcoming All Points Bulletin urban crime MMORPG. The teaser, clocking in at just under a minute and a half, features gameplay footage cut together cinema verite-style, with heavy use of filters, distortion, and the occasional newsreel effect, all of which combine to produce a palpable sense of dread and tension. The video also sets up the game's back story, briefly hinting at the assassination of San Paro mayor John Derren, the ascent of his daughter to assume his position, and the resulting descent of the city itself into a storm of gang-related violence and vigilantism. "I just want to know how it feels, realizing you're trapped in a situation where you're losing control of the city," says a journalist to recently elected mayor Jane Derren in a chilling voice-over track that accompanies the violent footage. Check out the teaser over at GameTrailers, or click past the cut.
