Knight of Cups - First Official Trailer



Christian Bale stars in the crazy, sexy first trailer for Knight of Cups.



I don't know what the film is about either. The trailer is visually impressive, with Bale's character, Rick, seemingly partaking of an excess in sex and the party life. However, it also appears that he may be going through an existential journey of sorts. Rick seems to have reached a crossroads and is deciding what direction to go in. At least that is what I gleaned from the words and visuals in the trailer.

Written and directed by Terrence Malick (To the Wonder, Tree of Life), the film also stars Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman. The film will make its debut at the 65th Berlin Film Festival in February.

Here is the official synopsis courtesy of ScreenDaily:

"Once there was a young prince whose father, the king of the East, sent him down into Egypt to find a pearl. But when the prince arrived, the people poured him a cup. Drinking it, he forgot he was the son of a king, forgot about the pearl and fell into a deep sleep.

Rick's father used to read this story to him as a boy.

The road to the East stretches out before him. Will he set forth?"

Well, that was definitely a unique and thought-provoking synopsis. It does seem to go along well with what was presented in the trailer. It will be interesting to see what the final product looks like.

Knight of Cups will debut in US theaters sometime in 2015.

Street Fighter V - Announcement and Gameplay Trailers



Capcom has released two new trailers for Street Fighter V, exclusive to PS4 and PC. First, check out the official announcement trailer.



That was inspiring. Nice nod to the history of the franchise, while teasing the future. Now watch the gameplay trailer.



The graphics definitely look much better than before. The character models have improved, and the draw distance makes the stage feel much larger. Nice little touch with the lights breaking when Chun-Li kicked Ryu in front of it. Hopefully all stages have little effects like this. It really makes the stages feel more alive, and the fighters more powerful.

Also noticeable was the return of the water color look from Street Fighter IV, although Chun-Li's water color effects were a light blue. Perhaps each fighter will have their own color effects, which would add to their individuality.

The big question is what gameplay elements has Capcom added to make this game worthy of the number 5? Cross platform play was announced, so both PS4 and PC gamers can play with each other. Furthermore, Ryu went through a wall to reveal more of the stage, which showcases how large the stages have become. It looks great but hopefully there will be more than that. Capcom will be releasing a video of the first Street Fighter V match next week, so we should find out then.

No release date has been revealed, but Street Fighter V will arrive exclusively on the PS4 and PC.

The Legend of Zelda - Wii U Gameplay Demo



Nintendo has revealed new gameplay footage from the The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U!



The demo premiered last night during The Game Awards. The graphic design and draw distance look amazing, and the game world looks enormous! This will be a game worthy of exploring via horseback.

Furthermore, Star Fox was announced to be releasing next year before The Legend of Zelda hits. It could be a great year for Nintendo fans.

The Legend of Zelda for the Wii U is currently set to release sometime in 2015.

Batman: Arkham Knight - ACE Chemicals Infiltration Trailer: Part 3



Batman kicks butt in the final part of the ACE Chemicals Infiltration trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight.



Shown today at Sony's PlayStation Experience event, the gameplay looks amazing. Great way to end off the big trailer. The PS4 exclusive Scarecrow mission looks impressive as well.

Here is a short synopsis for the game:

"In the explosive finale to the 'Arkham' series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy the Dark Knight forever. Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the 'Batman Arkham' series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City."

Batman: Arkham Knight will arrive on June 2, 2015 for the PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
