What the hell is "Nerkas" anyway? AllGamesBeta looks to have been peeking around Los Angeles, particularly around the Staples Center and convention center area, where all the E3 madness is set to go down in about a week. There, in front of the Staples Center, on one of those huge screens, a trailer I've never seen before played. AllGames got it all on tape YouTube.

It's a strange game trailer with normal civilians and armed people and things that look like Bluetooth headsets but have some kind of mind control or altering power. It looks like a third-person shooter where civilians are doing the ass kicking. Weird.

At the end of the trailer is the name "Nerkas." Check out the Who.Is for Nerkas: It's Square Enix Europe. Is this Nerkas a Square Enix game?

Again, what the hell is a Nerkas?

I believe that there has been a bit too much pre e3 leaking. Trailers and rumours for things have been popping up everywhere and it's a shame because I watch the press conferences for big surprises and if they are all leaked before they happen then there is no point watching the press conferences.

its trying to say that all people who wear douchey bluetooth headsets and think they are important will one day be mind controlled and taken over by a rebel group trying to overthrow the gov't and forced to do their bidding. Thats what a Nerkas is...

Not sure about the game, but Nerkas is definitely fun to say.

so i've been squinting my eyes at that video for ages now, even going so far as to drink an extra glass (or four) of wine to "help" the cause... but i still can't make out a "Parasite Eve 3" anywhere in that hot mess of a video.

so, despite the awesomeness of Broken Bells, i've decided i don't give a shit about 'nerkas'

Looks pretty terrible from that footage. Stuff animations and the shooting looks boring.

Intrigued if only because only a Japanese person would think Nerkas is an awesome name, and that means this would be a Square Enix game set in the modern day. Like The World Ends With You, which was awesome if not for the hand cramping combat.

Nerkas = NeuroSky
Mind reading device = MindWave
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/neurosky-shows-off-upcoming-mindwave-headset-other-new-chip-app/

How is no one catching this reference? Remember Square Enix working on Judecca with NeuroSky ... a game that used a headset that could read mental states?

Many such videos can be found on <a href="http://www.joycave.com">You Tube</a>. It's not the best way to familiarize yourself with the title, but although they give some insight. There is still much confusion until the official release.

YouTube is the best place to find out the upcoming titles. You can see for yourself how the game looks. In this case, there were some interesting materials that are worth seeing.
