November 1, 2024 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

Hello again my friends and welcome back to another exciting series of images from this past years New York Comic Con. I’m up to the third installment of Special Features since I decided to deliver this content to you a little differently and with Part Three it is totally devoted to “Mecha BREAK”. Now before I get into this I’d love for you all to click NYCC 2024 so you peruse the entire batch of what’s been posted. The people behind “Mecha BREAK” had a massive pavilion set up during the con so let’s explore.

Before I get started, let’s give an idea on what exactly “Mecha BREAK” is. I’ve snagged this text from Wikipedia.

“Mecha Break is a mecha shooter game developed by Kingsoft’s subsidiary Amazing Seasun Games. The game was officially announced at The Game Awards 2023. It is scheduled to launch in the spring of 2025 on PC and video game consoles”.

Square Enix Presents: Marvel’s “Avengers” Official Trailer

June 11, 2019 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

The E3 Convention/Expo is underway and I have a number of colleagues in attendance doing reporting for their respective mediums. Their being there led me to follow some of the activity for our Pop Culture focuses since video games are often based on the Toys, Comics and Film items that are discussed on that section of the PiercingMetal.com website. When I saw the trailer for the upcoming 2020 release of “Marvel’s Avengers” by the folks at Square Enix, I knew that I had to share it with the readership. Take a look down below.

About The Game: Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, the only hope is to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Marvel Entertainment and Square Enix are excited to unveil Marvel’s Avengers, an epic action-adventure game that combines cinematic storytelling with single-player and co-operative gameplay. Developed by Crystal Dynamics in collaboration with Eidos-Montréal, Nixxes Software, and Crystal Northwest, Marvel’s Avengers will release simultaneously for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X, Stadia, and PC on May 15, 2020.

Playstation Presents: “Resident Evil 2” Launch Trailer

January 26, 2019 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

With Toy Fair rapidly approaching and my being involved in setting up all of the necessary appointments to do that convention right, I’m happy to share the recently release “Launch Trailer” for the brand-new remake of the classic “Resident Evil” video game. It’s rather intense so don’t watch alone or in a super dark room if you spook easily. Here we go.

About The Game: Resident Evil 2 is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. The game follows rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape from Raccoon City during a zombie apocalypse. It is a remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2. Unlike the original, which uses tank controls and fixed camera angles, the remake features “over-the-shoulder” third-person shooter gameplay similar to Resident Evil 4. (c/o Wiki).
