Shogun 2: Total War, Battle Types Interview

by

Start building your strategies now as Shogun 2 ups the ante with new game modes, bigger scale battles and deeper game play!

I’m totally pumped for this game. I’ve always been a fan of this series, from the first ever Shogun all those years ago, to this very day. I can safely say this is the most excited I’ve been for any Total War game yet, this game is just stunning. Any Sega fan that hasn’t given this game a try yet is doing them self a great injustice!

I think it was a mistake not showing this at Tokyo Game Show, I think this is the one Total War game to break into Japan with.

Project Draco not a Panzer Dragoon game

by


Yukio Futatsugi, creator of Phantom Dust and developer on Panzer Dragoon, is working on Project Draco. The game even looks like Panzer Dragoon, especially if you have seen the artwork (pictured above). Regardless of this, Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Spencer says its not a Panzer Dragoon game, only inspired by.

“It’s a Kinect game for one thing, which is going to have its own take on it, there are some differences between — as a Panzer Dragoon fan — the stuff we’ve seen in the Panzer Dragoon series and [Project Draco] … Futasugi-san does have a passion for dragons and the interactions between humans and dragons, I think you could say ‘inspired by’ and obviously Futatsugi-san’s heritage with that franchise is an important part of his history. Wouldn’t characterize [Project Draco] as a Panzer Dragoon game.” – Phil Spencer Microsoft Game Studios VP

He says the game is going to be its own and even goes as far as to say “I think there’s some great things about the mechanic in Panzer Dragoon that can work really well, but we’re not in any way trying to diminish the value of that franchise or steal from it.” If this is a rail shooter, with the same art and concept as Panzer Dragoon; can we call him on his words?

Second Vanquish demo incoming

by


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

by

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

by


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

by


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.

Vanquish – Tokyo Game Show Story Trailer

by

“The end of San Francisco is the beginning of a race against time to ensure that New York doesn’t follow suit.
War has accelerated. This is VANQUISH.”

Another fantastic trailer from Tokyo Game Show. This new Vanquish trailer focuses mainly on the story behind the madness that is Vanquish. Be warned it could possibly hold a few spoilers.

There is still more then enough game play to get your juices flowing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this cannot come soon enough.

I’m getting this game day one.

Valkyria Chronicles 3 TGS trailer

by

In this trailer you can see some of the nameless that were described in Famitsu. There is also a few surprises you will see in this trailer when you watch it. Sadly, the trailer is all anime and no gameplay. Still a cool trailer though.

Yakuza of the End TGS 2010 trailer

by


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

by

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]

by


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]
