BloodRayne: Betrayal

Bloodrayne: Betrayal Dated for XBLA
Written Thursday, July 14, 2011 By Richard Walker

Remember Bloodrayne? Of course you do. She's the red-haired vampire babe in the slinky skintight catsuit with blades mounted to her forearms. And having been in a few not-all-that-great third-person action titles, she's set to return for a side-scrolling brawler on XBLA.

Boasting a striking anime style with buckets of blood, Bloodrayne: Betrayal had previously been slated for a tentative summer 2011 release, but now that date has been grabbed and staked to the ground. That means that you'll be able to hack, slash, kill and feed when the game arrives on XBLA next month.

Yes, that's right. Bloodrayne: Betrayal will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade on August 31st, 2011. "It will be bloody" declares the official Bloodrayne Twitter page, where the date confirmation emerged earlier today.

[Thanks, Jalen]

I want to watch her fight Kate Beckinsale as Selene from Underworld. Only in a kiddie pool filled with blood flavored Jello.

Reminds me of megaman with the addition of blood. I won't be getting this one, but it does have a nice graphic style to it.

Wow that actually looks...really good. Kind of Dishwasher Samurai style. Other Bloodrayne games weren't too good at all but this has my interest now after that trailer.

I personally would love Bloodrayne 2. I loved the leg-showing extra costumes.

If its 800msp then I'd get it but most likely it seems to be a 1200msp game.

Maybe this'll actually be decent. You all can thumbs down me all you want, but despite the sex appeal, the first two Bloodrayne titles sucked. Bad. Bloodrayne and Bloodrayne 2's gameplay and controls just felt so broken and much less solid than other major titles of the era that I just couldn't play them.

I always liked this franchise despite the arguable shortcomings of the first two. Then simply ignored Uwe Boll's attempt to kill it. I'm definitely getting a classic Castlevania feel from the video. Let's just hope it's not riddled with pretentious Japanese nonsense for a story.

I like Blood Rayne, as nice as the Artsyness of the XBLA game looks. I'd Rather have an actual srquel with the whole feeding off of enemies for health & the hitman-ish hack & Slash game play. If I wanted Anime sword fights I'd Watch [adult swim]. Uwe Boll Killed a Decent game franchise with his Garbage Films. There's a Special Place in Hell for People like Him....

Wow! never been a huge fan of bloodrayne. But a castlevania sidescroller with a devil may cry style combo system I will take that please.

Also the Art style a ver ycomic book style. I love it but I can see that being a risk as people will love it or hate it.

First off all she is not a vampire,she is a Dhampir,half human half vampire.
And im happy to see that alot of people like the new 'Castlevania SOTN' style(for Bloodrayne).
This game is first day buy for me.

It looks like Metroidvania crossed with Wet. That's a good thing.

@ #17 - I'm with you 100%. The first was a shoddy mess of a game with the voice acting so bad it wasn't even funny to listen to. The boss battles were half-assed, and the final boss battle was quarter-assed. The second one was the first with a new coat of paint, paint that was put on by student painters.

@ #30 - Yeah, she's a half-vampire, but that concept is just another way of saying that the creator/author wants to ignore whatever vampiric weaknesses are inconvenient to the story and/or character. Not a new concept by any means, but I've always thought it was extremely weak. Why not just have vampires who shine in the sun?

This actually looks pretty fun. I wish they made a movie and casted Kate Beckinsale for her role:-) Might pick it up if it's 800 or less:-)
