Saturday Link Roundup
Posted: 12/18/2010What have we been chatting about on Facebook and Twitter this week? Games with permadeath, games with pee! Oh, and Portal 2.
While the newest trailer for Portal 2 didn’t feature anything new or noteworthy, just an impressive display of Valve as short filmmakers, it’s still impressive. Looks like the developer will be squeezing tons of personality out of Aperture Science robots Atlas and P-body. Combined with personality core Wheatley, Portal 2 may already have locked down Best Robots of 2011.
The guys behind The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings are making the game’s “insane” difficulty no joke. If your character dies, he dies for good… permadeath!
The fight sticks for the new Mortal Kombat “leaked” earlier this week, a different style of stick than we’re used to. American company PDP is making the things, which hearken back to the original MK arcade joystick style… but also with a run button? They look perfectly authentic, the way we remember playing Mortal Kombat and may ultimately mean another big hunk of plastic taking up space at Meat Bun HQ.
And speaking of leaks…
Sega’s ToyLets games include a multiplayer “faux-sumo game in which two characters blow milk out of their noses to push the other out of the ring” and one in which you’ll play as a cloud, trying to blow up a girl’s skirt. And they’re controlled with a stream of urine. Yes, they’ll be installed at urinals in Japan and will take raw pissing skill to play. Japan!
