Second Vanquish demo incoming


Vanquish director Shinji Mikami and producer Atsushi Inaba announced at TGS that they will be having a second demo for their game on Xbox Live and PSN. When? September 22nd. This demo will be called “Vanquish Challenge Mode Demo”.

This second demo is suppose to be for the hardcore fanbase, thus it will be more difficult.  The date is obviously for Japan, no dates for the U.S. or Europe, but if we have a repeat with the last demo announcement, we will probably get it a few days earlier than Japan. I hope!

Hideki Kamiya believes we’ll see Bayonetta again

Bayonetta will most likely end up being the best action game this generation, now with Devil May Cry having an idienty crisis and Ninja Gaiden 3 not having Tomonobu Itagaki, it seems there is not much challenge standing in her way. Soon that will not be the case, she might have to compete for the title against herself.

Someone asked Kamiya if there would be a Bayonetta 2 and he responded “I believe so.” and then responded to someone else “She’ll [Bayonetta] be back if you believe so.” I hope there is a new game, lots of potential for another amazing experience.

House of the Dead: Overkill loses its f***ing world record


Awhile back, when House of the Dead: Overkill was released, the game earned a Guinness World Record. Out of all the things the game could have gotten a record for, it turned out it was because of how many times it used the word fuck. That is right, the game had 189 fucks. Holy fucking shit, that is a lot of fucks.

Now the record has been stripped away from SEGA’s hard muscular hands by Rooster Teeth’s Mafia II. The game had over 200 fucks, way more fucks than House of the Dead: Overkill.

Photographs of SEGA at TGS


The guys over at SEGA Online have posted 66 photos of SEGA at TGS. So sit back, put on Pictures of You by the Cure and  enjoy the photographs. Did I mention most of the photographs are of women?

If I did not know any better and just saw the photos, I would assume that Japanese females that love to cosplay dominated TGS. They just walked around by the thousands. It is a nice feeling to have.

For the photos, check out SEGAonline.

Yakuza of the End TGS 2010 trailer


The game is looking incredible. I hope this game gets a western release. It seems that Haruka has been kidnapped and there are zombies everywhere. Oh, Kazuma is going to have to beat them up and force them to give him money.

Transforming hands to machine guns, Goro with a shotgun? Where do I get this game, I want!

First Valkyria Chronicles 3 screenshots emerge

The screenshots for the new Valkyria Chronicles 3 have come out and some of them are gameplay. Not the above image, no. The screens are direct feed from the screens that appeared in the Famitsu scans.

The gameplay screens look OK, it is not PS3 game that is for sure. It isn’t the best looking PSP game either. I guess we will have to see how it plays, so far the second game is excellent.

Phantasy Star Online 2 TGS 2010 trailer [Update]


Here is the trailer that we posted about, in its full U Stream quality glory. You can see that it has only been confirmed for Windows PC.

I really do hope we get a console version, for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. But it being on a PC is good enough for now.

[Update] SEGA pulled it out of our YouTube account. We have moved it else where. If they knock it from this site, we will upload it on our server [/update]

Rise of Nightmares: SEGA’s horror Kinect game [Update: Press Release]

SEGA has just announced a new Kinect game, during Microsoft’s keynote. The name of the new game is Rise of Nightmare.

They showed a teaser of the new game, very hard to make out what the game is suppose to be like, according to live blogs online. Some people suggested it would be a ‘on rail’ type of game. Seems like the best way to control games on Kinect. Could be a game like D, remember that game?

The game is aimed at the hardcore, a dark horror game.

Famitsu reviews Yakuza Portable

Yakuza’s first game into portable gaming gets reviewed by Famitsu? All the Yakuza games have gotten high ratings, did Black Panther: New Yakuza Chapter go down the same path?

Surprisingly, yes it did. Famitsu rated it 9’s down the board (9/9/9/9), not perfect but pretty damn close. Now we will see what they think of the upcoming Yakuza zombie game.

Yakuza of the End is full of zombies [Update]

Seriously, seems that Nagoshi was serious when he said he could make a Yakuza zombie game. The latest screens in the newst Famitsu is filled with the undead.

Is this SEGA’s answer to Dead Rising? You know how we Westerners love our zombies. Should be a interesting TGS, Nagoshi posing with zombie hookers.

[UPDATE: More scans, including some gun action gameplay screens!]

Valkyria Chronicles 3 is a PSP game [first scans]


It seems that the upcoming Valkyria Chronicles 3 is real and its coming to PSP. The game appears in the latest issue of Famitsu, under the PSP section.

We are unable to get scans of the feature, since NeoGAF forbids scans of actual magazine content (table of contents is OK). We should be learning more about the game come TGS.
