The first trailer with in-game footage of Battlefield 3 has arrived.
EA and Dice have released a trailer with first in-game scenes of Battlefield 3. Although the trailer is only 43 seconds long, you see a lot. A big fan of the Battlefield series has examined the trailer very detailed, and tells you in a video which weapons are shown in the trailer or where the action takes place. You can also see your own feet, sounds lame, but this is actually a very new feature for the Battlefield series.
INFOS: Battlefield 3 will be one of the biggest games this year, the developer team is twice as big as Bad Company 2's team. The PC is the lead platform which means the first priority is developing the game for PC, but EA and Dice have set the release date to 'Fall 2011', an exact date isn't announced yet. In BF3 you play as an U.S. Marine and fight at locations like Paris, Teheran, and even New York where you can destroy buildings, thanks to Dice's physics in their new version of the 'Frostbite Engine 2.0'. This engine was originally used for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, too, so we can expect beside destruction: very good animation, which are captured with the ANT technology which was used for the newest EA SPORTS games. Beautiful lighting, scale and impressive audio can be expected as well.
MULTIPLAYER: Of course, one of the main features in Battlefield 3 will be the multi-player with some big differeces to Bad Company 2 like jets which weren't usable there and up to 64 players fighting each other on PC while console gamers only team up with 24 people, 12 on each side. Also the player has the ability to prone, espacially for sniper a very useful tactic, and a big variety of land, air and sea vehicles will be included in BF3. The variety of weapons is for sure, but you have to earn them with different achievements, Dice said to this feature that "there will be more unlocks than in Bad Company 2", where you could already unlock a lot of weapons for each of the four classes. Another two features which are already known are a theater mode, with no further information, unfortunately, and a co-op mode. There will be no mod tools at release because the engine would be too complex.
PRE-ORDER BONUS: EA has announced a special offer for all pre-orders. Shortly after release a DLC (downloadable content) will be available called Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand. If you pre-order Battlefield 3 you get this DLC for free. It includes four maps of Battlefield 2, but with the new Frostbite 2.0 engine means old maps with new destruction. So you can visit the old battlefields of Wake Island, Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman and Sharqi Peninsula with new graphics and ohysics. Also included in the pack are Battlefield 2 weapons and vehicles, as well as new achievements and unlocks.
Again, Release of Battlefield 3 is Fall, 2011 for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC.

Red Faction: Armageddon will launch in the US on May 31 in Europe on 3rd June.
The game continues Red Faction: Guerrilla, you play destruction expert Darius Mason, but the two games differ a lot. Linear, underground environments which can be explored, and the main enemy is no longer the EDF! You fight an alien force accidentally unleashed by Mason.
On Mars the people live in underground mines because huge super-tornados or lightning storms turn the surface to chaos. Darius is tricked, so he reopens a mysterious shaft in an old temple deep underground and releases the alien force. Only Darius himself and the Red Faction can save the planet and mankind, you have to fight across the planet and deep deep in Mars' heart as well.
Physics are a huge feature in Armageddon, it's built on the Geo-Mod 2.0 destruction engine, which allows you to destroy huge structures in a really realistic way, or you build them up again. Your choice.
Release is May 31, 2011 on PC, PS3 and Xbox360.
