The Jon Favereau directed live action trailer for Bungie's next sci-fi epic has been released upon the world. The trailer reflects the core themes of Destiny, specifically reinforcing that teamwork will be key to success. Whilst undeniably epic, the trailer still fails to show us any actual gameplay. We can only assume that the gameplay reveal will come at Sony's E3 conference in a few weeks time. 

Check out the trailer, and let us know if you're excited for Destiny in the comments below.

Warner Bros. and Techland announced a new IP today. The game, called Dying Light, is a first person action survival horror title with a "portentous day-night cycle set in a vast open world". It's set for a 2014 release on the following platforms: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Techland are perhaps best known for their work on the Dead Island franchise in recent years, and sure enough Dying Light looks remarkably similar in the following screenshots:

"During the day, players will traverse an expansive urban environment overrun by a vicious outbreak, scavenging the world for supplies and crafting weapons to defend against the growing infected population. At night, the hunter becomes the hunted, as the infected become aggressive and more dangerous. Most frightening are the predators which only appear after sundown. Players must use everything in their power to survive until the morning's first light."

Housemarque, the independent development team behind Super Stardust HD for the PlayStation 3 and, more recently, Super Stardust Delta for the PlayStation Vita have announced that they're developing a spiritual successor to the franchise, exclusively for the PlayStation 4:

"We are super excited to be working on Sony’s next-gen hardware," said Housemarque’s CEO Ilari Kuittinen. “The platform’s performances are enabling us to do things that wouldn’t be possible otherwise and we truly believe that better technology can lead to better gameplay. The more tools and resources we have at our disposal, the better. Think of Super Stardust HD: at the time, PlayStation 3 gave us the opportunity to populate the game with thousands of interactive objects and implement the game’s famous ‘spherical gameplay’. Today, we can take advantage of the architecture of PlayStation 4 to create incredible visuals with direct impact on the way the new game feels."

Atari is said to be selling off their game assets in an auction this July to help offset their bankruptcy losses. This move is coming after the company failed to find a buyer for its entire catalogue since filing for bankruptcy back in January.

The auction will be taking place over a span of 4 days in July, and comes after meetings broke down with 180 potential buyers. Atari says it received 15 offers, none of which were satisfactory. The company is hoping an auction format will enable them to yield maximum returns. 

Several of Atari's franchises have been confirmed to be up for sale. This list includes, but may not be limited to, Rollercoaster Tycoon (minimum asking bid of $3.5 million), Total Annihilation (minimum asking bid off $250,000), and Test Drive (minimum asking bid of $1.5 million).

I bet you thought that huge thing behind the space marines was going to be a giant worm, or an alien bug or something! Nope, it's an even bigger space marine, with a gatling gun the size of a mid-grade sea vessel. Some very Halo-y piano in there at the end, too. No gameplay yet, but I guess we'll get to see that at E3.
