There's been some more screenshots of the latest Buffy game released An index of them here; www.cube-europe.com/screenshots.php?gid=buffy&page=1The first one on the XBox was OK and now they've given it to a new developer and it'll be on Gamecube and PS2 as well as the Xbox, it looks like it's gotten even better. OK so it doesnt look all that pretty but lets face it, you get to be Buffy or Faith or SPIKE or WILLOW or Xander! Yaysome. Christopher Golden is involved in the story I think, and out of all the lame Buffy tie-in books his are probably the best. |

What season are they setting it for.
Just wondering if playing Spike is difficult since whenever attacked by humans he hits one, stops and goes "aaaaarrgh my head".
And is Faith good or evil.
And how powerful is Willow's magic and does she have the choice of becoming evil. And what kinds of scenes can she have with Tara.
And is Xander remotley useful in any way shape or form (apparently Nicholas Brendan got annoyed in the seventh series since all the best comedy lines were given to geeky Andrew and not him, mainly because this is all he ever did). Or will he have the power to talk baddies out of having an impending Apocalypse.

I think it's set somewhere around season three, but I'll need to check that in the magazine where I read the preview.
Willow wears funky jeans in the game, I know that much. Actually, the Willow character looked very season four. Now I'm confused...

It's set in Season 5.
"Developed with the show's writers as a 'lost episode' from season 5, Chaos Bleeds involves an unraveling tale in which a dimensional bleed has been enabled by Pure Evil (The First) to consume humanity once and for all. It's up to Buffy and her friends to stop it all from happening...again!"
Maybe i'm being a little pedantic but..
The First hasnt been seen by Buffy since season 3 and shouldnt be seen until Season 7, though perhaps she wont realise it's The First.
Faith & Spike's first meeting (unless you count the body swap thing) was in season 7, and it looks like they meet here.
Though I do look forward to this "bleed" being a cheap excuse to use old characters e.g. Sid the dummy.
They each have "unique abilities" however i've seen pictures of Xander fighting. Hopefully this will be discouraged in the game and his levels will be all stealthy (i.e. steal the mystical hoojawhatsit)
Random info >>
"This game will feature six playable characters including Buffy herself. It also boasts hundreds of fighting animations as well as both hand-to-hand and magic enhanced combats. There will also be six multiplayer modes where players can choose from up to twenty-four characters, good or evil, from the Buffy universe."
24!! Whoop!

· Multiplayer action – supports up to 4 players in 6 different modes, including Domination, Versus, Last Man Standing Buffy vs Spike- Yes. Buffy vs Faith- Yes. Faith vs Xander- Last Man Standing going any other way than Xander getting battered to death would just be wrong. Though Xander vs Spike should be worth doing, though I think Multiplayer Spike has an obvious disadvantage in that he can't hit any of the other human players. Having Willow bitch-slap Faith would be even better than any of this though. I want to know who the other characters are. I can see a Willow vs Tara fight happening a lot all across the land when this game comes out. Oh and Anya vs Xander. God I actually want this game now. |

*pedants beware, i know i'm alluding to season seven but the only taser in the show previously was riley's, no? Wait a minute. Where's RILEY? OK OK this could be set in the 2nd half of season 5. I dont mind Riley, which is just about as kind a comment about him as has ever existed. But I do have a picture that proves he has a huuuge cock. |
