Gaming News, 08/02/13 - DayZ standalone footage, Last of Us webseries and a free game!

Hello again, it's been a while. Not a while since I've been on the forums but a while since I last made one of these. Or, well, it hasn't really been that long... I'm not sure where I'm going with this. NEWS, REPORT!!



Last of Us Webseries

Uncharted developer Naughty Dog's new horror game has yet to hit the shelves of your local game store but you can get acquainted with the world in the soon starting webseries called What Remains. The series does not directly relate to the game's characters, Joel and Ellie, but features a group of survivors trying their best not to die in the post-apocalyptic world.

You can see the trailer below and check the series' website at http://www.whatremainsfilm.com/

Dead Space 3 Merchandise

Got the game? Now get the merchandise! In order to celebrate the release of the game EA has launched a limited edition watch for the whopping price of $265. It's a replica of Isaac Clarke's own watch (he had one?) and really, this is rather similar to Jill's watch bundled with RER I reported on a while back: [link]. The difference here is that this watch is propably not some indestructible military model like the RER one. 300 out of 500 watches are left so uh... if you ever wanted a pricey-as-hell watch, here's your chance.

This game seems like a mixture of Dead Nation, DayZ and Last Stand with some fort building/defending elements. Gotta keep an eye on this one.

Rebellion's yet untitled game

Catchy title huh? You might remember Rebellion from back in the day for developin Alien vs Predator for PC. They haven't really done anything worth mentioning, except maybe for the Sniper Elite games, between then and now. What's now, exactly? It's a horror game that has a slight feel of certain well known horror movie series...
