Watch Footage from the Cancelled Metallica Game
An unannounced Metallica game was in development in 2003 by the now closed down Black Rock Studios, however it was cancelled.
Titled Damage Inc.: Metallica, or something along those lines, it was supposed to be a driving game set in a post-apocalyptic world. PtoPOnline has now uncovered previously unreleased footage from the game:
After some background and the trailer included in Metallica's St. Anger album, we're shown the first ever gameplay footage. The game is centered around vehicular combat, and although the graphics are from the PS2 / Xbox era, it still looks fairly reminiscent of last year's Mad Max game.
Rogue One: Jyn Erso Played by 3 Actresses
The final trailer for Rogue One revealed that the film will feature the Star Wars series' first ever flashback sequence - and, going by the words of Mads Mikkelsen, it seems we'll have more than one in store.
Speaking to GQ, the Danish actor - who plays Oppenheimer-like scientist Galen Erso - revealed that two younger actresses will play protagonist Jyn Erso alongside star Felicity Jones.
Resident Evil 7 Will Have Classic “Inventory Tetris”
Some have wondered just how much of a change Resident Evil 7 will be from the classic formula, but a new teaser has revealed yet another returning feature.
The second in a series of 10 short videos (below) for the upcoming game has confirmed the return of item boxes, shotguns and the series' classic "inventory Tetris", forcing you to fit items around one another or ditch them altogether.
Tellingly, there are far fewer blocks available to use than in previous games - it seems as though space will be pretty tight.
Despite some major shifts - most noticeably, the move to a first-person perspective - it's the smaller details that seem to mark this as a Resi game. Apart from the inventory style, Green Herbs will be used for healing, and the developers are aiming to use the original game as a touchstone, with fewer, but more dangerous enemies.
