Over on our sister site, ColdHardFlash, we featured some Flash-animated cut-scenes from Epic Mickey, the new video game coming in December 2010. But the real story there is the CG work. Check out this intro cinematic for the game, which was produced by Junction Point Studios.
The third installment in the Fable action RPG series arrives on October 26th of this year, and below is the opening cinematic to whet your appetite. You wouldn’t expect it, but it’s really quite funny. Fable III was developed at Lionhead Studios.
The first Mega Man game came out way back in 1987 on the NES platform, and since then Capcom has released over 50 different titles under the brand.

Blocking access to Super Bowl viewers, CBS has apparently rejected this new TV spot for EA’s upcoming game Dante’s Inferno. But today I read that EA will get it’s way – after changing the tag line at the end to “Hell Awaits.” Blur Studio animated the ad.

This stop-motion spot for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars reminds me of Patrick Boivin’s work, but he just released a new viral short today, so I suspect this wasn’t his work.

The animation was produced by ffake in Portland, with Jeff Riley directing and animating and Paul Golden at the producer controls.
Picking up where they left off in October, the Ubisoft Rabbids fail yet again in a space launch attempt. In this effort, titled Space Ship, they’re promoting the Rabbids Go Home game, which launched in November.
