John-ShepardOkay, so Square Enix just showed off something we'd already seen before at the PlayStation Meeting. But at least they've got a promising new IP in the works.
It's the mysterious Murdered: Soul Suspect , and the company has just released a new teaser trailer and an estimated launch window: Early 2014.
Scheduled to land on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, players will have to track down their own killer. The latest rumor is that the setting will be Salem, Massachusetts, the site of the infamous Salem witch trials in 1692, which resulted in numerous public executions of individuals accused of witchcraft. The teaser trailer doesn't really tell us much, but it does look encouraging. And is anyone else reminded of the old PS2 game, Shadow of Destiny ? We had to stop our own murder in that game, too, but it was mostly an adventure/puzzle style.
Hopefully, we're hear and see more of Murdered: Soul Suspect soon.

And the darker, grittier tone of games continues. Perhaps I do need to look at the WiiU after all…
I have to admit this is a fundamental reason why I am considering switching to the Wii-U next gen. It seems Sony and Microsoft consoles have been focusing to heavily on gritty realism within games that they have forgotten about the fun factor. I only got a Wii recently to to play Pandora's Tower/The Last Story & Xenoblade which really made the console which otherwise would have been forgettable go out in style. It seems Monolith Soft are already on the works of a new Xenoblade which really could be the deal breaker if Final Fantasy fails to deliver at E3.
Perhaps, or there's that crappy looking game they showed first.
Early 2014 = Next gen.
Since Infamous: Second Son was announced, I`m jumping in the PS4 bandwagon!!
