RAVAGES OF WAR ON DISPLAY WITH NEW TRAILER FOR LEFTALIVE
Brand-new Survival Action Shooter Coming to PlayStation®4 System and STEAM® in 2019
LOS ANGELES (Sep. 10, 2018) – Leading up to Tokyo Game Show 2018, SQUARE ENIX® today unveiled a brand new trailer for the upcoming survival action shooter, LEFTALIVE™ .
The new trailer introduces the game’s three main protagonists, each with their own stories, missions and paths to salvation. Set during a devastating invasion in war-torn Novo Slava, LEFTALIVE tells a human story of survival. LEFTALIVE brings together veteran developers, Toshifumi Nabeshima (director, Armored Core series), Yoji Shinkawa from KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (character designer, METAL GEAR series), and Takayuki Yanase (mech designer, Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Xenoblade Chronicles X) to create a dark and gritty world.
I don't know if Xbox One X will get any love with this one, and I know Nintendo Switch isn't.
The title art for Left Alive... excited me. Is Square-Enix giving us their take on Metal Gear Solid? My answer is... probably, just don't expect the legendary Snake in this survival action shooter. More details will be unveiled about this game very soon. How soon? Try the Tokyo Game Show 2017 this week! So not only did the 2017 PlayStation Press Conference get my attention with this... I'm drooling for more.
I think I should mention why it really has my attention. I've seen no game play, but the developers... the developers (two times) have me giddy! Veteran developers on this project are:
Toshifumi Nabeshima | Director of the Armored Core Series
Yoji Shinkawa | Character Designer of the Metal Gear Series
Takayuki Yanase | Mech Designer of Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and... Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Is it safe to be excited... or is it safer to be ecstatic?
Anyway... check out the trailer below for "Left Alive", which will be available on PS4 & PC!
Many gamers have known that it was going to be a portable console that would also double as a home console... but what got my attention was the ability to enjoy multiplayer action with half of the connectable Joy-Con controller for multiplayer action.
I don't know exactly how comfy that will be, but it looks interesting. I'm still not completely sure if there would be online action available when you're on the go... but I really hope so. The 3DS can connect to the internet and it would just be a step backward if we can't.
The ability to connect multiple controls may sell someone that has multiple family/friends around to get in on the action... but for those of us that don't want to crowd around the small screen (at least not that often), it's important to have an online ready option when portable.
At home it's a bit more of a... duh... but yeah, I hope they don't sleep on the obvious because it will open one of the biggest doors that can take this system to the next level (besides great games). I really do hope that bigger 3rd party developers stick with it. I don't give a damn about trying to roll with a fad, some games will have that option... like if Lara Croft & The Temple of Osiris were on the system (but no to the no to the hell no when it comes to flood of fad games). I want to appreciate the system in various ways and I hope that it's successful in it's own way because it will be that portable option that not only gives us a way to play potentially awesome 3rd party games on the go... we will have Nintendo's line up. I'm excited to see where this goes, and I expect to see a list of games soon among other info like the price because March is around the corner. We will see what Nintendo has to say, but I think it would be an extremely horrible (i'm talking horrible) idea to wait until 2017 to show more. I expect a Nintendo Direct to lay things out before next year so that people can prepare to $ave.

I don't need to see pre-existing games in a launch showcase. I want to see the new of the new.
The rest (if pre-existing) can be listed at the end as "Also available" or something.
I think Nintendo took what was going to be multi-Wii U gamepad capability and just rolled that concept into new tech that didn't require them to go back and figure it out with something that would've been a struggle to pull off. I believe that the connectivity between N-Switch devices in portable mode is one of the smartest moves when someone wants to play multiplayer games on the go... like (hmmm) Monster Hunter or even (a new) Xenoblade game, but I can't sleep on Mario Kart or Splatoon either. The question that comes up with that is... "Nintendo, how long is the battery life?". Running to an outlet in an hours time... would suck (like super seriously!).
(I have another ponder) You know how the N-Switch base station? The thing that makes it go... home console? Yeah. Anyway, if that is some sort of device that enhances the graphics while on the big screen... I could see that being upgradable down the road. The portable part of it can remain the same, if they are able to work it out that way... which can prolong the system technically by upgrading a portion of it, versus the full console like the PS4 & Xbox One. The console will be here in the blink of an eye. Wait a minute, I just blinked. NVM! :p
I had no clue what we were being invited to Nintendo's Tree House for... but holy crap, I didn't expect for us to have an offer to join the Nintendo family. Reggie respects the fact that i'm not going to bite my tongue (because that would hurt, but secondly) because... they need an unbiased addition to the team that keeps them on their toes. That's what made me comfortable with it... but we're still waiting for our lawyer to look over the paperwork.
We were allowed to mention some things to you guys, like things they will consider... including:
- Tournaments that we host (at least once a year)
- Suggestions for games in development... including ideas that we might have for IPs (heck yeah!)
- Game giveaways
- A yearly drawing to take 1 Nin-Dem w/ us to experience E3 every year
- Nintendo-Demand Yadda Yadda Show every Friday night - Saturday morning (Showcasing the gameplay skills of Nin-Dems & Treehouse vets)
Our main focus would be Nintendo-Demand at Nintendo.com/NintendoDemand, and Nintendo Miiverse. We won't be able to talk about other platforms after things are final, but a lot of huge things are coming... we can't say anything about Nintendo NX but I almost (literally) pissed my pants.
Before you check out Nintendo Direct... there's one more thing (highlight the area below):
|April Fools(!), but if they were to ever present us with a great offer... we'd take advantage of it to make you crap your pants from shock.|

This is a refreshing Nintendo Direct... enjoy!
