You like sexy ladies, but are you prepared to like them while they put on a Sonic theme burlesque show? If not, forget you seen this.
I never considered how well Sonic music goes with stripping.

[PS3/360]
Seems that Platinum Games has finally delivered one of their titles that plays great on both consoles. Eurogamer said it was hard to really see the difference between the consoles and only thing they found was shadowing differences.
“In terms of graphical differences between the two games, it’s fair to say that there aren’t any of real significance – certainly nothing that might affect a purchasing decision: both run at 1024×720 resolution with 2x multi-sampling anti-aliasing (MSAA)…. only issue we did notice on a consistent basis was a difference in shadowing, which seems to favour PS3. In these shots you can see shadowing that’s either omitted completely or else suffering from “shadow acne” on the 360.”
So whatever console you bought it on, you are safe. No Bayonetta effect this time around, just pure gameplay bliss. Performance is a mix bag, but seriously, if you liked how the demo performed, no issues.

We have always known that SEGA and Platinum Games deal would come to an end after Vanquish. Seems that the developer knows they now have the ability to strike a better deal with SEGA and they are negotiating.
“For the future of our partnership, of course, it’s not something that we alone can decide. Sega has its stance, and we have ours, but if Sega asks us to make something we might take the offer.”
Joystiq has said that Platinum Games wants to ‘create their own ip’, but I think they read the quote wrong.
“So as a studio we would like to do both [new IP and sequels], but the whole point of Platinum Games is to create our own IP, that’s what we do.”
I think what Inaba mean’t is that Platinum Games makes their own new IPs, as in their ideas, not SEGA’s and they will continue to do so. Doesn’t sound like he talks about ownership of the IPs. We already know since TGS that SEGA has more plans with Platinum Games and that Platinum Games is working on a massive online title.
Future looks bright and I can’t want to see what Platinum Games comes up with next.

SEGA is trying to pack in a ton of stuff into the already full Shining Hearts. This new gameplay mode thing is “Pet Spirit”, I guess tons of spirits exist in the world of Shining Hearts. A chracter, Alvin, is a 119-year-old elf who has the ability to communicate with spirits and is always shown with her flying female wind spirit Kefia.
Outside of the story, the game lets you collect and raise spirits as pets. When you progress through the game and defeat monsters in battles, you will collect spirit eggs. If you take it to your place of employment, the magic bakery, you’ll be able to hatch them there.
“COOOOOL!!”
Here is a new promo video for Sonic Free Riders in Japan. It is quite an odd piece of promotional footage for a few reasons, I have never seen a Japanese person smile so much, almost seems like its a Microsoft Kinect advertisement policy or something. You know, since all the US adverts have the same thing. Also who has a room that white or that large in Japan?
“Awesome!!!”
The last thing that will lead to people doing creepy shit, is the feature that lets two players join hands and do tricks on screen with two of the in-game characters. Lets be honest, Sonic fanbase is disgusting and a ton of horrible fan fiction is bound to happen.

“Did you see that ludicrous display last night?”
SEGA and Sports Interactive have released the demo for Football Manager 2011. You will be able to get it in two flavors, Vanilla and Strawberry.
Vanilla is a smaller download (300 mb) that comes in only English language and has quickstart with only 2 leagues (English & Scotland).
While Strawberry (download size 1gb) has 11 in-game languages (English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Czech, Polish) and 12 in-game leagues ( England, Scotland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, Argentina, Chile).
Seems that pal customers have the best deals from SEGA! Before we ran a Play.com pre-order bonus that gave you Bayonetta for free, now Tesco is offering a free copy of Alpha Protocol to purchasers of Vanquish.
If you have been waiting to try Alpha Protocol, this might be your chance! Especially a good deal if you where planning on picking up Vanquish anyway.

[First scan/concept art of the upcoming game]
Yuji Naka’s upcoming game has been teased in Famitsu and it won’t be published by SEGA. The game will be published by Kadokawa Games. Never heard of them? I don’t blame you, all they have done was a port of RPG Maker for DS and some other girl anime game. But it seems the company wants to become bigger, first step is with the Yuji Naka HD game (along with a game by Grasshopper).
“The game itself is an action title that takes place in the sky. The action gameplay is what I’m focusing on the most with this project — interactivity is the most important attraction with any sort of game, and if that doesn’t evolve, then games won’t be everything they can be. Sonic was all about completely taking over the land, and Nights brought that same concept into the skies. I had always thought that action games that take place in the sky are too hard for players to cope with, but then I thought up a new method for dealing with it. That’s how this project got started. If I had stuck around at Sega, then I might have used this concept to make a sequel to Nights!” – Yuji Naka (Prope)
It is most likely that SEGA passed on publishing Yuji Naka’s title. Most likely due to how poor a bigger known IP like NiGHTS did on Wii and how he compares the concept to that or it could be due to how poor Let’s Tap did. We will never know. We wish Naka luck with his new title and if its good, of course we will all be playing it, regardless of publisher.

Users have been asking if Space Michael would be in the final game, even though we already had this confirmed last time, I think a ton of users skipped over that yes, Space Micheal will be in the final port from SEGA. He is in the newly released screenshots.
There were some questions regarding if SEGA would use Michael Jackson’s likeness in the game, mostly because the pop artist recently passed away and because SEGA has not been afraid to cut out content in their re-releases (See Crazy Taxi’s music and adverts).

You got to feel bad for Sonic, SEGA just relies on the blue blur to make so much money for the company and with the way the economy is, even he has to take jobs like this. Seriously, Sonic isn’t even needed to hold the sign, it has its own leg thing. Come on!
Apprently this was taken by a UK:R reader at a Lewisham located Gamestation.
You can now download the Sonic Fan Mix demo from the link below. The demo has 1 zone that spans 3 acts. No boss battle has been included.
Personally I haven’t played it yet, but I would love to hear what you guys think. Leave your feedback in the comment section. This is the same one I posted the screens about, which I called Sonic 2 HD. Sorry, the name is ‘Sonic Fan Remix’.

This game puts you in the shoes of Daimyo, a clan leader that is trying to re-unite Japan. This game also features ship battles and of course land battles (depicted in the screens).
Shogun 2: Total War is looking really nice, just makes me cringe knowing that I will probably have to upgrade my graphics card for this game. Game will be coming out next year, so maybe I do have plenty of time to upgrade.
The demo will be coming, but only the Japanese version. Luckily I pretend to know Japanese so everything will play out just fine. The demo being released for the game will continue the story of the TGS demo, which we never played. The demo will include two missions, one has you retake a mountain base. Those that are getting the Japanese version will unlock special bonuses from playing the demo.
Date for the demo has not been given.Valkyria Chronicles 3 will be hitting PSP spring of next year. Now where is that western release date?

There has been a ton of debate as to whether Sonic the Hedgehog 4 should be considered a sequel to Sonic the Hedgehog 3. We give the latest console version of the downloadable title a spin. Hit the jump for the full review.
SEGAhas launched the website for Sonic Colors, it has a Wisp scavenger hunt. You will be able to find them once you click around the planets and such. After you click on one, you get a screenshot of the game.
It also has music from the game, so remember to turn down your speakers. The official site can be found here.
