First Super Mega Baseball 2 Gameplay Trailer Shows Off Much-Different Visuals

Following the game's announcement in September, developer Metalhead today released the first gameplay trailer for Super Mega Baseball 2. In addition to providing a first look at how the game plays, on display in the video is its more realistic-looking art style.

Metalhead co-founder Scott Drader explains in the video that Super Mega Baseball 2's presentation aims to retain the first game's goofiness--but dialed back somewhat. "That vibe has moved in a more mature direction," he explains.

You can see that the players' bodies are more proportionally realistic. While the wacky look of the characters was one of the best parts about the first game, Drader explains why the change stands to benefit the sequel. "I'm personally very excited about that because I'm looking forward to the gameplay animations conveying a better sense of athleticism," he said.

Additionally, Super Mega Baseball 2's stadiums will be more detailed, while Metalhead is using a new rendering technology to makes surfaces react to light "in a more interesting way."

Note that what you're seeing in the gameplay video is an unfinished version of the game, so things could change.

Super Mega Baseball is scheduled to launch around the middle of 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The original Super Mega Baseball launched in 2014 as a Cross-Buy game for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, before coming to PC and Xbox One in 2015.

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's online page for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3 indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was running on 14 million devices since its official launch the previous day.
