With the game hitting shelves very soon, the Destroy All Humans! remake has been delivering a lot of new trailers, extended clips of gameplay, and even a demo for fans to try out for themselves. Overall, it seems as though the remake of the seminal PlayStation 2 classic will completely overhaul the game in all the right ways, taking what made it so special and adding smoother combat, significantly enhanced visuals, and much more.
There's no better way to spot these changes than in the game's recently released Santa Modesta trailer, which sees Destroy All Humans! protagonist Crypto taking on a fictional, picturesque town in Southern California. The footage highlights Crypto laying waste to the sunny vacation spot, probing locals, blowing up tanks, and, of course, jumping into his flying saucer to decimate the surrounding area.
The Santa Modesta trailer begins with the destructive alien landing on sunset drenched beach, moving up into the town where he seemingly body snatches a citizen and uses them to spy on local law enforcement. From here, the trailer cuts to several different glimpses of Crypto's destructive rampage, brought on by the psychopathic alien telling players to not "get mad, get sadistic." Blowing up cars, probing policemen, going head to head with tanks, and firing what appears to be some sort of powerful area of attack grenade, it's apparent that players will be able to cause all manner of destruction in this fairly expansive level.
Crypto then hops into his flying saucer to inflict more chaos, burning down numerous houses and shops with his lethal death ray. He also utilizes a new weapon not yet shown in the game's various trailers, firing a big green explosive that, upon detonating, rips several nearby buildings to shreds. It seems the game's going to offer a wealth of fun tools to cause carnage with when it launches late next month.
Destroy All Humans! is far from the first remake or remaster to land in 2020, however. Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Resident Evil 3 launched earlier this year to extreme acclaim, while SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated has been popular with fans as well. Better yet, following the release of Destroy All Humans!, Mafia will also be seeing a dramatic remake with new visuals, overhauled gameplay, and more. It seems remakes are becoming something of a hot trend in modern video games and fans couldn't be happier.
Destroy All Humans! will be available July 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
