The first Captain America: Super Solider trailer is out and we can finally have a look at the gameplay. It is pretty obvious that the brawling aspect of the game was highly influenced by Batman: Arkham Asylum .
Something also shown in the trailer is a small section of platforming, which is good. Means variety of gameplay. Sure the graphics aren’t really going to impress anyone, but if the game is fun, that is fine by me.

“Your enemies are many, your weapons are too. Take them out with flair, guile, skill, with no mercy!”
Boy, does this game look really good or what?!
I don’t think there is much left to say about this game other than ‘day one!’
I really love the outcome of the Sega and Platinum deal. So far Platinum has made the kind of games that got me into Sega in the first place. Fast paces, different, addictive and unashamed to acknowledge they are games not ’Interactive movies’. I hope the deal continues.
Release Date: 10/19/2010
In a new interview with NowGamer, Platinum Game’s Atsushi Inaba says they are working on a big multiplayer title. This is all that is said regarding the title.
“We haven’t officially announced it yet, but we have a big multiplayer title that we’re working on right now. There are many different projects running internally, but please look out for the announcement.” – Atsushi Inaba
Other things in the interview, Inaba says he does not regret the games that he created at Clover studios, which most turned out to be finical failures. This is a good, they were great games that weren’t marketed correctly. Read the rest of the interview here.

You may recall our little reveal that a Captain America game was being developed for the Wii by High Voltage Software awhile back. Well now, the game has been officially revealed, and the developer for the other versions has been brought to light.
The upcoming Captain America movie tie-in video game, Captain America: Super Soldier , is being developed by Next Level (Punch Out!!! and Spider-Man: Friend or Foe) .
The video game will take place before the upcoming movie, Captain America: First Avenger. The game will be written by Christos Gage, who did Avengers: The Initiative and is also currently doing Avengers Academy. If you haven’t guessed it, the game (and film) will take place during World War II.
The game is set to come out next year for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PSP, Wii, and DS.
Atsushi Inaba, Platinum Games co-founder, has told the guys at Eurogamer that he would “would love” to do Bayonetta 2. He also stated that it will be done “when the time is right”.
“There is no concrete plan or schedule that we can talk about, It’s not like Kamiya said, ‘Okay, we’re going to make this.’ But Bayonetta is definitely a special IP for us. We loved creating that game. We think it was a really good game. We would love to make a sequel to it when the time is right. That’s all we can say.” – Atsushi Inaba
Kamiya also talked about the sequel via twitter, stating that he believes we would be seeing Bayonetta again. Sounds like everyone wants a new game. Lets get it cracking.
A YouTube video of the latest build of Sonic 4 shows off the game’s world map. A picture can be seen above. Looks pretty nice, right?
He tries to play the latest build without using homing attack, but does use it once, to break a rock. Game comes out in about a week, who is buying?

Yuji Naka started his own company, Prope, which started its relationship with SEGA by making Let’s Tap and Let’s Catch. Even though the games where not huge budget releases or sold a billion copies, most fans liked them.
Now after releasing some mobile games and the Wii/DS port of one of those mobile games, Ivy the Kiwi? Yuji Naka is getting ready to announce his upcoming HD game.
“I’d love to talk more about it but my publisher is telling me not to (laughs). All I can say is it’s going to be a very original action game based in the sky and I will provide more information within this month.” – Yuji Naka
Should be interesting, I have been waiting for him to announce this ‘action title’ he has been teasing since Let’s Tap.
SEGA released some big hits in the beginning of the year, but so far hasn’t really set the charts on fire during the last few months.
But SEGA expects to do big numbers this Fall. New SEGA Europe boss, Jurgen Post, spoke about the latest SEGA titles and their expectations. SEGA wants to have a 10% attach rate for Sonic Free Riders, he says the game’s success will depend on its hardware (Kinect).
The newest trailer for Vanquish is up, this one called “Enemies”. If you haven’t guessed it yet, shows off some of the enemies you will be fighting when the game ships to retailers.
If that wasn’t enough, the first review of PLAY UK is out. They gave the game a 93/100, stating “Vanquish is about as good as action gaming can get.”
I think I have just found the best deal of all time!
For a limited time only, if you pre-order Vanquish from PLAY.com not only will you get the fancy special edition game sleeve but you’ll get Bayonetta completely free. Unfortunately for those amongst us that are not in Europe this deal is not open to you, sorry. The deal is Europe only I’m afriad.
Now if you haven’t already got Bayonetta then slap yourself on the wrist. Bayonetta is fantastic… Vanquish is shaping up to be just as addictive and just as fun. So this deal is a must for those of you with no Bayonetta to show for yourself. Hell, this deal is so good it’s pretty much a must for everyone.
We love our Sumo Digital, they really try to listen to fan feedback as much as possible. They have recently teased that they are working on a big game for a hardware publisher, doesn’t mean they have forgotten about SEGA.
“I would say if you’ve been a Sumo fan, if you like the products that we do, then you’re not going to be disappointed in the future …So we’re working on some stuff that’s a way out. But we continue to work very closely with SEGA and we hope to have some more products coming out with SEGA. We’ve got some stuff due out in 2011 and some in 2012. One hopes people will recognise them as very SEGA and Sumo-type products.” James North-Hearn CEO of Sumo Digital
Before you get all excited and start screaming about a new Outrun game, Sumo Digital has already confirmed they are not working on a new Outrun game. They did confirm they are working on a new racing game though…
What do you think they are doing?
We wrote an article about this before, saying that the emulator has been ported to the PS3. Now we have a video and the results aren’t that impressive. Sure, it has just been ported, but it doesn’t seem like something everyone should rush out and buy at this moment. This is only with a couple of weeks of work. Should be impressive as time goes on.
PSgroove is the device used to jailbreak the Playstation 3, only issue is that Sony has caught on, so if you update to the newest firmware (Right now 3.50) you most likely won’t be able to use the device, at least not till there is a work around. This means giving up access to PSN.

I don’t know what goes through the heads of producers, that think gamers want less content in there games. But it happens. Masayoshi Kikuchi, Producer of Yakuza 3, admits that their decision to cut content out of Yakuza 3 was wrong.
“We did what we thought would be good for the Western market, but after the game was released we received a lot of feedback from users in the complete opposite direction, asking for complete content. It was a big surprise for us. I’m definitely pleased that people wanted to see more, but at the same time, I feel sorry for the fans who were let down by the cut content.” – Masayoshi Kikuchi, Producer for Yakuza 3
It is OK Mr. Kikuchi, just give us a patch to put in that extra content? No? Well, just give us a complete package with Yakuza 4 and we will call it even.

Don’t worry, there is still news to come. We will be stalking the internet trying to get all the Phantasy Star Online 2 information we can. As you can tell, I’m are most excited for this title. Best TGS in a long time?
This preview is in Italian… Thought I’d get that out of the way early. So unless you understand Italian you won’t take much away from the spoken preview.
But I think this is article worthy none the less. Simply for the sheer amount of new game play and cut scenes. Be warned, it may well contain a high level of spoilers. So if you don’t want possible plot spoilers, stay away! But I’ll tell you this, this game looks truly amazing.
