It’s time once again to recap the best trailers for the week from the world of movies, TV and video games, and we’re getting started on the right foot with the return of a few old friends . . .
A new, extended version of the Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer hit the web this week, providing a little more emphasis on the villainous Ultron, voiced by James Spader. There are also other little bits of footage included from the forthcoming sequel, which will arrive in theaters on May 1st – just in time for the start of summer.
Telltale Games has teamed up with Gearbox Software to present a new chapter in the Borderlands series, which will make its debut for various game platforms this holiday season. The episodic Tales From the Borderlands provides a more episodic tale from the series, with memorable characters and humorous situations. The game features an all star cast, including Patrick Warburton and Chris Hardwick, among others. It should be quite the time-filler while Telltale fans await the company’s next big release, Game of Thrones.
Grand Theft Auto V is less than a week away from arriving on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, bringing with it a number of refined features – including a new first-person mode. With that, Rockstar Games has unleashed the official launch trailer for the game, with plenty of 80’s rock goodness and fun little quotes that will make criminal-loving gamers fall in love all over again.
This past weekend, Microsoft held a special Halofest event, in collaboration with this week’s release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One. The online event was a huge draw, and provided both those in-person and watching through their browsers a first glimpse at next year’s blockbuster, Halo 5: Guardians. A beta for the multiplayer portion of that game will launch on December 29th, with those who bought Master Chief Collection getting exclusive access.
Last but certainly not least, 2K Sports got a little nostalgic for its upcoming wrestling simulation WWE 2K15 by pulling out the big guns – the immortal Hulk Hogan. In this latest promotional video, Hogan unboxes the special edition for the game, which includes a variety of goodies, such as a collectible Funko figurine and bonus codes for unlockable versions of Hogan’s character, including the villainous “Hollywood” persona. The game arrives for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this Tuesday, while the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions are available now.
