Nagoshi talks about Project K

by


You saw the scans below, with all the Japanese writing. Well, in the magazine they talked to playboy Toshihiro Nagoshi about the upcoming PSP game. First thing we know is that the game will take place in Kamurocho (inspired by Tokyo’s Shinjuku).

The obvious? The game will not be called Project K, that is a place holder at the moment. He did say that the game won’t be like any other Yakuza game before it and will not be called “Ryu ga Gotoku”. He did mention using it as a subtitle though.

Alpha Protocol character profiles: Grigori and Sie

by


SEGA has made two new trailers for Alpha Prtocol, dealing with a couple of characters you will meet in the full game. The first character is Grigori Pazinhov, a Russian that sells information. What kind of spy game wouldn’t have a Russian?

The next character is Sie, a operative. In the game you will get to betray her or keep her around, the choice is yours. She also appears to be a nympho. Hit the jump for her trailer.

Lamb of God behind the scenes on Iron Man 2 song

by


Lamb of God, the American Metal band, are going to release an exclusive song for the Iron Man 2 game called “Hit the Wall”. In the video above, SEGA’s producers for the game and band members talk about how the deal came to be.

Looking at the gameplay for Iron Man 2 in the video, I have to say the animation is pretty stiff and that is now worrying me.

Alpha Protocol debuts tonight on 24

by


Tick-tock! The clock is ticking for Alpha Protocol’s marketing campaign. It seems that it will start tonight on 24. I usually dislike how SEGA markets their games, but this seems to be pretty fitting way to start it.

If you did not know, Jack Bauer was one of the influences in choices you can make. He was the ‘aggressive’ character. The other two influences were Jason Bourne and James Bond. Connection? All their first names start with J.

Alpha Protocol is coming out in the United States on June 1st on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Leaked Sonic Adventure XBLA footage

by


Here is someone playing Sonic Adventure on their Xbox 360, yes another leak coming from SEGA. Seems that we already know almost everything about this game and SEGA has not even announced it yet.

As you can see in the video, the game will not support widescreen, the person playing it has it stretched to widescreen. Also the fast forward stuff is by the guy that did the video, we assume.

Rumor: Crazy Taxi coming to XBLA?

by


Seems that there are a lot of leaks on Microsoft’s PartnerNet and the newest one is a XBLA port of Crazy Taxi. It looks legit and it isn’t really shocking that SEGA would want to bring the game into HD consoles. They did do a PSP port. Not to mention B.D. Joe appearing in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.

This is not the first leak on XBLA for SEGA, we all recall the Sonic Adventure leak and Sonic 4 leaks. The source even has pictures of Quake Arena leak, that should be fun.

Pre-order Alpha Protocol at GameStop, get exclusive guns

by

This seems to be standard practice now for GameStop, having you pre-order games and getting extras. Now they will do with Alpha Protocol.

If you pre-order the game at your local GameStop, you will get the two exclusive guns pictured above. That is not all, you will also get two modified weapons; called Hamilton Howitzer and Samael Rapid-Fire Rifle. Those are not exclusive, I guess the modifications will be given out with pre-orders with other retailers.

Alpha Protocol is set to be released in the end of May, on Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3.

NPD: Both Resonance of Fate & Yakuza 3 fail to chart

by

I’m not shocked that Yakuza 3 didn’t make it into the Top 20 for the month of March. I’m a bit shocked that neither version of Resonance of Fate made it though.

I know, SEGA didn’t really advertise either and they released them in a ‘big month’ , but didn’t even do 100,000 units?  Spin it how you will, but SEGA made a pretty big deal about Resonance of Fate when it was announced.

Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns coming to Wii?

by


If you don’t know what LA Machineguns and Gunblade NY are, shame on you. They are light gun arcade games by SEGA and according to ESRB, SEGA is planning on bringing them in a collection, much like House of the Dead 2&3 Returns.

from ESRB website:

“This is an arcade-style first-person shooter in which players engage in missions to protect sections of New York and Los Angeles from enemy forces. Players aim targeting crosshairs on dozens of attacking soldiers, robots, missiles, and vehicles that explode when destroyed. Constant gunfire and explosions highlight the frenetic action; zoomed-in camera angles depict multiple projectiles striking the humanoid terrorist enemies.”

The compliation pack is suppose to be called “Gunblade NY & LA Machineguns Arcade Hits Pack” and exclusive as of now, for the Nintendo Wii. How about some Virtua Cop love next time?

(Note: I know we are late to post this, don’t whine at us)

SEGA-Sammy expecting $194 million profit

by


SEGA-Sammy have been losing money for a while now and it seems they are finally getting the hang of things. They have posted that they expect to make $194 million dollar profit in the end of this fiscal year.

Things to note, Pachinco & Amusement Machine sales saw an improvement; while Amusement Facilities & Consumer business made less income than they thought it would. As for consumer business (Consoles, etc.) they were expecting  to sell 29.7 million units of software, but that guess has been lowered to 26.3 million units.

What game didn’t hit expectations? It might be Resonance of Fate. What do you guys think?

by

Let’s be positive, there will be another SEGA console some day (I hope!) and it will need unique features and even catch up with features to make it stand out against the competition. So if SEGA announced a new console soon, these are the features I think they need to have.

I think I know a ton of you have your own features you would like, so comments are always open.
