APPLESEED Ex Machina

I've always had a soft spot for Masume Shirow's Appleseed and Dominion Tank police, back in 1988, I remember the Manager at the store I used to shop at ( Stephen K. aka ZAKU KILLER on XBL ) bringing these to my attention and being blown away by the level of detail in these books, everything from City scapes to the Weapons and vehicles even the ammo rounds where
designed with a purpose in mind By Shirow.

Shiro Lead to Otomo, Otomo to Miyazaki and the rest is Nerd History

Now there's a new appleseed OVA coming out and it's looks better than the last attempt. Now if they can only make a game for it that looks this good.

Here's the trailer

GUNDAM : OPERATION TROY

A GUNDAM GAME DESIGNED FOR THE 360!

This looks to be the mobile suit game that everyone's been waiting for, taking a page from Mechassault 2 Lone Wolf & Lost Planet, you now start the game on foot as a soldier in either Zion or Federation army running around fighting while these towering Mechs fight around you.

Tired of almost getting stepped on by a giant Mobile Suit?

highjack a mech and do some real damage!

no release date for the US has been announced but given the popularity of Gundam here in the States, we should see this over by Summer 2008.

The Big announcement is finally here! first Capcom plans to release a 3D version of the NES classic Bionic comando, for those of you to young to remember, it was a excellent action side scroller where the player controlled a character with a bionic arm and grappling hook who fought his way through hordes of soldiers.

and here's an image of what the redesigned game character looks like so far:




















AND IN EVEN BIGGER NEWS: STREET FIGHTER 4!

No details have been announced other than it's a completely new street fighter, and it will be released for next gen consoles. No word yet if it will be 2D or 3D. it would be nice if they gave us a new 2D street fighter with high res graphics ala Guilty Gear. We'll just have to wait and see....

CAPCOM COUNTING DOWN MAKING ME VERY NERVOUS


Today I Learned that CAPCOM, once known as fine video game makers, (Street Fighter, Resident Evil etc....) Are counting down to something...AND ITS MAKING ME NERVOUS.

I Know it's probably some shitty remake of one of their fighting games for, but the countdown looks so ominus that I CAN'T HELP THINKING THE WORST, is it the end of days? Jesus Returing to slay my enemies? Another iphone price drop?

It's driving me nuts!

ASTROBOY FEATURE GETS OFF THE GROUND


Now in production, "Astro Boy" is set for release in 2009. It is a computer graphics adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's famous manga about a boy robot, first published in 1952.

The film is Imagi's third theatrical feature, following "TMNT" ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") and "Gatchaman," also now in production. "TMNT" debuted at No. 1 at the U.S. boxoffice when it opened in March, with $25.45 million in ticket sales.

But unlike Imagi's "TMNT" and "Gatchaman," both action-heavy films, "Astro Boy" has a largely emotional core, pushing the performance, acting and movement principles of the animated main character into the spotlight.

He basically does mash up of Disney style imagery with some horror themes Ala EC comics. Weird but I thought I should share it with the Two people who view this Blog.
