Pre-Alpha Footage Shows The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing in Action

Here’s some hacky, slashy, magicy, shooty, pre-alpha footage of the upcoming XBLA title, The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing.

Based loosely on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, TIAOVH (as we like to call it) is an action RPG set in a fantastical 19th century Europe overrun by nasty beasties. You play the titular hero on a journey to Borgovia, “where former supernatural foes have enlisted his help to defeat a new scourge terrorizing the ravaged city.”

Looks kinda fun. Watch out for The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing on XBLA later this year.

  • I remember 3D action game on original Xbox were good and fun.
  • @1 Not as fun as Bayonetta I'd wager, or your mum :)
  • #2 Lol I played original Xbox version of Van Helsing is good game not awesome though. Bayonetta of course 100% better then this. But I not talk about it just about this franchise. :)
  • Of course I said I remember played it somewhere after game launched in 2003 or 2004. :)
  • @3 & 4 Cool beans - I was only messing with you anyway :)
  • #5 Hahahaha cheeky bum. :D
  • @6 Takes one to know one xxx
  • get a room you two
  • he looks like Kung Lao using a sword lol would love a teleport kick attack or a spin =p
  • The first 7 posts make me feel a bit nauseous. Terrible film , ok game on xbox. Reminds me of silver a bit
  • @11 Boring get, feel the love. There are far too many silly arguments on here most days, it's about time everyone had a bit of a laugh with each other if you ask me! OT again: The video makes me think one thing; Nightmare Creatures reboot. I'd snap one up if it was made!
  • @11 Talking to yourself there mate.
  • @13 Haha, so I am. That was directed to you, I'm not a mentalist or anything! @12 I'm not surprised, you're Welsh. Massive inferiority complex to say the least. Even your football teams are trying to be English these days. Nice try though :)
  • @ #2; Hayabusa would outrage a helpless & exhausted Bayonetta. I'm not going to pass judgement on the rest of your weak sauce trolling.
  • *reads rest of posts* Awww, you guys!
  • @16 You really are a lazy FAQ'er aren't you. You have to keep reading!!! :)
  • The perspective and gameplay both screamed Diablo at me. Of course, that's not a bad thing.
  • Kinda looks like Gauntlet.
  • Ive been in london and it was a shithole. I spent 3 months in wales and it was also a shithole, they win though because of their language. Heddlu heddlu
  • Reminds me of Diablo or torchlight. :D Both games were good, So I hope this one follows suit.
  • Rancid Skank seems like a loveable scamp:)
  • I've been to Sweden, it was a shithole. OT - Looks like it'll be better on the PC.
  • reminds me of arkaden warriors
  • @14 ive never seen a welshman use the "racist" card in an argument before xD also im not taking any sides but its kinda funny you calling someone a retard but then make multiple spelling and punctuation mistakes in the post.Surely you would know someone will pick up on it. On Topic, the game looks ok but reminds me of diablo / pc rpgs with the health and mana bubble in the middle of the screen. It will probably be the higher end of arcade price bracket, 1600msp but co op will be fun.
  • The Welsh are a race? Please see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia
  • Yeah Diablo clone... Which, to me, is always a good thing. :)
  • Arron and RancidShank, both of you need calm down and be grow up. RancidShank you making yourself embarrassed and leave cheevo360 alone. No need arguments, it is just internet not real life!!! Why would sit and arguments over computer (make no sense). Anyway I enjoyed Van Helsing movie in past with Hugh Jackson in it (he is one of my favourite Hollywood actors). I never played any Van Helsing games before to be honest so I might try this XBLA trials once it is release.
  • @31 no mate they arnt. Caucasian or otherwise is your race. Welsh is your nationality. @31 What have I done? I didn't like the shitty film? get over yourself Mario and learn to read the whole thread.
  • @29 not 31.
  • @31 Leave Cheevo alone? Have you read the thread? We had a firmly tongue in cheek discussion and both left it laughing at each others responses, I fail to see the issue. @29 No, the Welsh aren't a race. As another poster mentioned, terms like 'Caucasian', 'Mongoloid', and 'African-American' specify race, Welsh is a term to specify nationality. Enough with the mock indignation anyway, lighten up, it's nearly the weekend and your first week back at school is nearly over.
  • @34 facepalm. homo sapiens are a species. The report you linked was in view of a scientifically philosophy from 2002 , your search engine clearly spat back at you. if you searched hard enough you might be able to find a relationship theory that links cows to spacemen. race: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_%28biology%29 nationality: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationality Please stop embarrassing yourself , I stuck up for you at one point. If you're going to throw around the racist card , at least understand what it is.
  • FFS 35. i swear someone keeps changing these numbers.
  • @35 I don't really want to argue even more and throw the news thread further off topic, but feel obliged to point out that your desperate linking of a news article from 2002 containing words like 'suggests', 'possibly' and 'theory' as proof of anything - especially because I imagine that was the only search result you could find to support your silly desire to throw out the race card, in the face of the literally thousands of webpages, research articles and similar results suggesting otherwise. I also find it funny that you become so up in arms over a throwaway comment that was essentially retaliation for a personal attack on myself (that obviously stems from the time I made you look stupid in a previous thread when you were essentially picking on another member of the site, again wrongly), yet feel it's perfectly acceptable to make slights on mental disabilities. Not only is it childish, but you are doing nothing to support the Welsh as a NATION (not race), because you as a representative are coming across as a clueless fucking clown. You haven't made one on-topic post either.
  • @35 Here i did you a favour, Read - Learn - Come back stronger : http://www.dauntlessjaunter.com/2012/03/26/ethnicity-nationality-race-heritage-culture/
  • @40 Just read the definitions and go back to you vallys mate. Youre completely clueless. here ill link it again: http://www.dauntlessjaunter.com/2012/03/26/ethnicity-nationality-race-heritage-culture/ This thread is as fucking stupid as that callum clown saying team gb had a poor Olympics.
  • @24 I'm pretty sure your country is a shit hole too. Because of your heinous comment, I must smite you. Nothing personal.
  • #42 Ageed. arguments getting so old and bored. :)
  • Oh, and the game looks interesting. Of course, you guys already knew that. ;)
  • @43 firstly youre first comment on this thread was Comment #12 by welsh dragon888 Wednesday, September 05, 2012 @ 10:24:12 AM @Rancidskank I hate you already. Secondly Race is defined as : In biology, races are distinct genetically divergent populations within the same species with relatively small morphological and genetic differences has fuck all to do with social structure, environmental factors or nurture. Clueless.
  • @46 That's what another poster (Arron) said back in post 27. You just proved that you're not reading any of this and are posting to perpetuate an argument. Badly, I might add.
  • @51 http://www.harbornet.com/folks/theedrich/JP_Rushton/Race.htm that will keep you reading for a while. then you can go cry at Professor J. Philippe Rushton for being wrong based on your counter argument , that you done like someone calling you welsh on the internet. Enjoy.
  • @50 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_classification) "A subspecies (race) is a distinct evolutionary lineage within a species. This definition requires that a subspecies be genetically differentiated due to barriers to genetic exchange that have persisted for long periods of time; that is, the subspecies must have historical continuity in addition to current genetic differentiation." For the win?
  • Without doubt the funniest set of total bollocks I have read in a long time. Just a shame I finished my popcorn and had to leave. Can't even remember what sodding game this all relates to ROFL. Thank you chaps you have made me smile :o)
  • Jesus guys please get back to topic ;) Its a game site about achievements not a classroom where we learn stuff we already know and hey lighten up this is the internet ;) Back to topic not realy stocked about this, looks kinda the simular to that awefull Expendables 2 XBLA game.
  • Haha I knew when this game had 50+ comments they wasn't gonna be about the actual game...
  • Is it wrong that I was having a wank whilst reading the comments?
  • Why are you trying to use logic over the Internet and you responding to EVERY comment posted towards you is not only trolling people but your also retaliating as well showing your giving 2shits and looking for an argument
  • True logic & internet going well together let stand alone with a bunch of dipshits like on this site.
  • As long as it's not like that Expendables 2 game
