Injustice: Gods Among Us New Skin & Video, 2 PS4 Games Feature Move Controller & Halo Reclaimer Trilogy Turned to Saga
A lot is in store for Injustice: Gods Among Us, and they're focused on Superman and the Man of Steel.
In time for the Man of Steel hype that's currently taking over DC fans and casual fans alike, NetherRealm Studios will be offering a Superman Man of Steel skin for $2.99 on the PlayStation Network and 80 Microsoft Points for Xbox Live.
As though that wasn't enough, General Zod will be joining the DLC crew as the last add-on character (at least for now) that's included in the Season Pass. General Zod will cost $4.99, and it seems like a it won't be just a physical battle, but also a battle of words, as can be seen in the newest gameplay trailer for the character.
"Kneel before Zod" does have a strike-fear-in-your-hearts ring to it, doesn't it? Watch out for these two new downloadables this July.
Recent news for Halo: Microsoft is in the drawing board
Finally, there's real progress for the next Halo installment. Between Microsoft's reveal of the Xbox One last May to the E3 conference, people have been hearing a lot of Halo talk, from the TV series that will be helmed by Steven Spielberg to the upcoming Halo: Spartan Assault game exclusive to Windows 8 devices.
This time, there's bit of news regarding Halo 5, or what is now going to be saga for the Reclaimer Trilogy.
Polygon reports that the franchise will be expanded, but has been confirmed to be a legitimate Halo franchise. Perhaps it will go beyond the planned Halo 6 franchise, but it won't come as a surprise if spin-offs will be made, considering what has already been announced.
Joystiq adds that, for the meantime, Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Spencer has refused to comment on which storyline the saga will progress from and into.
"It is the next Halo game that we are working on. We will talk more about actually the story arc in the game and how it plays out," he said in a statement quoted by Joystiq. "We've got more time to talk about that."
Move with PS Move games
Sony aims to reach out to more interactive ways to play games, and this time, it will also be releasing MS Move games, which make use of the Move controller, a glowing microphone-like device that lets you play interactive games with friends.
Two of the most talked-about games for the PS Move includes Quick Draw, which from the name itself, hints at a Western duel game, where you have to be the fastest "draw" using your controller.
You can play with several people, but it will all boil down to a showdown at the end. According to VG 24/7, the game has three modes that you can play, Mexican Standoff, Gentleman's Walk, and Outlaws vs. Sheriffs, a kind of multiplayer game where up to seven gamers can play.
Another title that's already been making waves is Glow Tag, basically a game of tag (you're it!), and the one with the glowing controller or the "it" will have to trigger the others' controllers.
So far, only QuickDraw has any details on the release, which will be for the PS3 and PS4, as well as the PC and Mac on a later date.
