Trailer Highlights: ‘Guitar Hero’ Returns And ‘Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture’

If anything, a trailer is supposed to make the consumer curious about a game they’ve never seen much of to the point where they want to learn more. Gazing upon The Escapists for the first time, all I want to do is learn more. A sandbox prison setting with a heavily reliance on crafting and a simple overarching goal (ESCAPE!), this indie shows all of the promise without having to flaunt production value. You know what denotes solid production value Making an enjoyable, immersive game. This looks like a damn good game.

Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture – Available Summer 2015 Trailer

 

Take the time to watch this a couple times over – you’ll catch something new every time. A rapture would make you assume that people just went *poof* ala The Leftovers, but that doesn’t seem to be the whole story. Quarantine and Influenza flyers litter the empty room, and empty mattress with splatters of blood increase the mystery, not to mention the mysterious wisps of light speaking remorsefully to one another. Mystery created, interest piqued.

BONUS: Star Wars Battlefront – Reveal Trailer

 

MUST REMAIN CALLM. SO MUCH EPIC STAR WARS’ING HAPPENING. OH MAN.

Seriously, every Star Wars fan, especially the ones that wore their original Battlefront discs raw, must have lost their collective s**ts when they watched this. Personally it took three views until I remembered to breathe again. The Dice engine is perfectly suited for this franchise, and I can’t wait to see more of what EA is doing with this fan favorite. November 17 is too far away.

Let’s also take a moment to acknowledge how fast you throw “no man left behind” when you come face to face with Vader himself. BRING ON THE BATTLEFRONT, BABY!
