The Witcher 3 Trailer Shows The Game's Ambiguous Sense Of Morality

CD Projekt RED have shared a new trailer for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, titled “Killing Monsters,” which seeks to showcase Geralt’s code of conduct and how he operates outside of the rest of the world’s sense of morality.



“Killing Monsters was a great opportunity to show the ambience of No Man’s Land—one of the vast areas in the game that the players will visit during their adventure,” says CD Projekt RED head Adam Badowski.

“The overwhelming feeling of despair can be quite shocking, especially when you consider who the real monster is.”

Haruka is the daughter of Miyo, the absent-minded farmer of the village. Haruka is always covering for Miyo’s little mistakes, and loves her mother, despite her flaws. Haruka has always dreamed of getting married, ever since she was a little girl. Though her dream is simple, her personality is anything but. Will your heart be big enough to love Haruka?

Hometown Story Lets You Fall In Love With These Guys And Gals

In fact, she loves animals so much, she often eats grass with them during mealtime.  Mika needs a partner who will understand the love she has for all creatures great and small. Will you be the one to steal her heart?

Meanwhile, female characters have the following gents to pick from:

Hometown Story Lets You Fall In Love With These Guys And Gals

Shinji is a scholar who is obsessed with the gods. His dream is to meet a god or goddess one day. A straight shooter, he usually says exactly what is on his mind. Despite being a scholar, he is quite laid back, and has very a kind heart.  Perhaps his goddess is right in front of him, and he just needs to open his eyes and heart to the love offered to him by you?

Steve is the son of Carl, the mayor of the town. He used to live in the big city, but just recently came back to the village. A bit of a dreamer, some of his ideas can seem unorthodox. However, his heart is always in the right place, and he loves his family very much.  Will you be the girl who captures his heart and makes him realize his dreams can come true no matter where he lives?

Hometown Story Lets You Fall In Love With These Guys And Gals

Dexter is a man of few words, simply showing up in the village one day. Rumors surround his past, but he loves playing with the children of the village, as do they. He doesn’t really understand the concept of dating, so wooing him may be a bit of a challenge! If the idea of a mystery man excites you, then you’ve met your match in Dexter.

Namco Bandai Is Making A New Bravoman Game

Namco Bandai Is Making A New Bravoman GameAfter a one off arcade game and a TurboGrafx-16 port, Namco Bandai's stretchy hero Bravoman went into their vault for almost two decades. ShiftyLook, Namco Bandai's comic division, revived Bravoman with a quirky web comic and an animated series.

'

Since Bravoman is ShiftyLook's second most popular series,Bravoman is getting a video game too. I got to try Bravoman: Binja Bash at E3 and the new Bravoman uses his stretchy limbs to punch Binjas while running and jumping on platforms. Players tap the screen to make Bravoman punch or kick. The trick to defeating Binjas is to hit them in certain spots like their head or body in a specific pattern like head –> body –> head.

'

Bravoman: Binja Bash also has Bravo Woman, Waya Hime, Alpha Hime, and Anti- Bravo as unlockable characters. Benjamin and a character from another obscure video game Namco game as a boss. The Bravoman game is slated for release this summer for iOS devices.
