A live action trailer for Sunset Overdrive?! Sure. Why not. Live action trailers are still cool, right?

So look, this trailer is good. Don’t get me wrong, the production values are high, the overall mood (one of suppressed insanity) and theme fit perfectly with how the game feels, and the general aesthetic is spot on. But man, this is not a fun thing to watch. It’s good, but not fun.

Now I know it’s meant to be goofy, its intentionally wacky, I get it. But I want everyone on that set to just stop what their doing and say, “hey, this is Sunset Overdrive” and then show me more of the game. Perhaps I’m just grumpy or perhaps the Irish just don’t like this sort of thing. I know my friends don’t!

But anyway. Sunset Overdrive is an absolutely awesome, lunatic open world action shooter that is being developed by the great folks over at Insomniac Games and it’s an Xbox One exclusive! Choke on that “The Order 1886”.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is reportedly the final game in the series, and will see Lightning return to the land of the living in an attempt to keep the world from ending. You’ll be racing against a very real doomsday clock in an attempt to save the world, completing quests and exploring areas in order to extend the time you’ve been given. FFXIII characters will make appearances, with Noel and Snow acting as antagonists to Lightning’s ways.

Releasing on November 21st in Japan, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will release on February 11th 2014 in North America and February 14th 2014 in Europe for the Xbox 360 and PS3.

But before your cautious optimism comes full circle, here’s some food for thought: the action film will be handled by producers Mike De Luca and Dana Brunetti who are in charge of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” film.

Yes, the one based on those books. There is a hope that the Gran Turismo name will help the movie differentiate itself from competitors in the same genre. That would be infinity better than openly advertising that the producers of “Fifty Shades of Grey” are on-board.

In gaming news, Gran Turismo 6 will be releasing on the PlayStation 3 by Q4 2013.

The funding will be for the first season which consists of 5-6 episodes of 15 minutes each. The crew is reportedly made of more than a hundred film industry professionals, with writer Xander Williams (who created the popular FFVII fan-fiction novel “The Jenova Project”) penning the screenplay.

With a target goal of $400,000 the project currently has $5,964 pledged by 165 backers with 29 days still to go. The funding will go into studio time, equipment and production, and paying cast and crew members. Check out the concept video below to see what can be expected in terms of tone, presentation and snippets of some of the characters.

Which means shit blows up good. Real good. Seeing the different powers and characters, like Zero’s agility and Maya’s gravity lifting powers.

It’s all topped off with the greatest blurb ever. “Mayhem awaits. Bring friends.” If you have not pre-ordered this already (and it is available), smack yourself and do it. Thank us later. Watch the commercial in the meantime.

Check out the live action trailer from APB Reloaded. It’s a live action trailer, so be prepared to see some real humans. It features some clantily clad girls and a NFSW scene, so tread carefully.

[a]list games and GamersFirst present “Be All You Can’t Be,” an action-packed video trailer for APB Reloaded. Epic shootouts, murderous schoolgirls and YouTube celebs…You’re welcome!

The trailer doesn’t really show anything significant from the game, and is only for show. So don’t get your hopes up for this one. It’s well made though, so worth a watch.
