SEGA is doing a series of developer dairies with Nagoshi about Yakuza 3. Must be weird, since he is also promoting Yakuza 4 in Japan. Isn’t that sort of like, time travel? He talks about his influences and the Japanese way of telling stories.
I mean, not much new but I just enjoy watching Nagoshi speak, in a heterosexual way.
Prepare for war! This is the ULTIMATE Multiplayer trailer for Aliens vs Predator! (According to its youtube title anyway.) I can’t argue, it does look pretty sexy.
The trailer boasts of 7 multiplayer modes including Infestation, Predator Hunt, Survivor, Domination, Death Match, Species Death Match and Mixed Species Death Match. Spliced togeather with some very gory scenes.
Finally it shows the release date, 19.2.2010. The game will be available on Xbox360, PS3 and PC.
SEGA have announced the release date to their new JRPG Resonance of Fate (Or End of Eternity in Japan). The new title comes from veteran RPG develop tri-ACE, known for their work on Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean. The game will be available from 26th March 2010, so if you’re interested in some gun battles spliced in with some role playing elements and strategy, you might want to check this one out.
That is right, the Nintendo DS Sonic Classic Collection game is getting a special edition version, the problem is that it is only for Spain and Australia. It is a shame since it looks really awesome. It comes with the following:
I will probably import a copy for myself, if I have extra cash I might get a few extra ones to give out? Is that something that you guys would like?
Did you know that the upcoming Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is coming to PC? I totally forgot, can you imagine the kind of exclusive character that Sumo Digital could have added? I would have voted for the paper clip from Microsoft Word! Though in all seriousness they have posted the PC specs for the game and here they are:
It is a known fact that all Virtua Fighter fans have been harping on about Virtua Fighter 5R since it was announced! Unfortunately, very few of them have actually been able to play it! Because so far it has only seen an Arcade release in Japan.
But Virtua Fighter fan site VFDC are looking to change this!

ThePatrick is known in the SEGA fandom in for his excellent translations of one particular series, Ryu Ga Gotoku, or Yakuza as we know it outside of Japan. Watch the Youtube video of his translation to find out what Kazuma is doing back in the world of Yakuza and the new characters he’ll get to meet along the way in Yakuza 4!
The achievements for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing were posted a few days ago, but it was missing the secret achievements; now the list is complete. As for trophies, I assume they will all be the same, it even has an achievement that acts like a platinum trophy called “Ultimate Collection.”
The names for the achievements are awesome, love all the SEGA references, it even has Project Rub. Kudos to the guys at Sumo Digital, they know how choose achievement names. Check all the achievements here.
SEGA has announced that they will be having a Valentine’s day sale on their PSN content; the games listed this time are the same as their New Years sale it seems. They promised that this time they will have bundles, something that was missing from the last sale.
Crazy Taxi, Full Auto 2, Sonic Unleashed DLC, Valkyria Chronicles DLC, and Sonic Rivals 1 and 2 have all been confirmed to be in the sale. Maybe SEGA will make a really nice Valkyria Chronicles DLC bundle for us.
SEGA has signed up two time Grammy-Nominated heavy metal band Lamb of God to write a song for their upcoming Iron Man 2 video game. The song being used in the game is going be completely new and written exclusively for the game.
“The music of Lamb of God definitely evokes the intensity of Iron Man action and we are very excited to have them working with us for the game, This new track will add even more atmosphere to the cinematic gaming experience that Iron Man 2 brings to the table.” – Sean Ratcliffe, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA of America.
I wouldn’t consider myself the biggest Lamb of God fan, but I have seen them live a few times and they do put up a great show. Hit the jump to read the full press release.

The American/European website of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 just got an update. A “Badniks” section has finally been added in the character box and for now, only one of a total of nine are shown (Hopefully nine is all their going to show us and not the total amount in the game!) and the first one revealed and one we’ve seen before, albeit in concept art, Motobug! Head over to SonictheHedgehog4.com if you want to see the game model to Sonic’s old foe.
Hello and welcome one and all! As many, or perhaps some, or maybe even very little know, the SEGA Sammy Holdings released their financial statement for 9 months ended December 31st 2009 and for once in quite sometime managed to get themselves out of the red and back into the black. So let’s find out how they did, shall we?
Check out the Super Monkey Ball Step & Roll launch trailer above, showing off aspects of the upcoming game. Check out those mini-games, I can’t wait to play butt bumping; first time I can do something like that under a rainbow and not be made fun of for it.
Like most trends in video games, this new release also offers up co-op play; how good that plays is yet to be decided. You will be able to pick up your copy on February 9th; so tomorrow.
The multiplayer demo of Aliens vs Predator has been downloaded over 14,000 times over the weekend on Xbox Live. It is not all sunny news, since the PC version has recently patched a matchmaking bug, the Playstation 3 version is set to get a demo patch as well, according to Rebellion. They also say they are “really sorry”. Kind of hard to drop 60 bucks on a game when the demo is broken.
“Just looking at how the demo’s been rated on Xbox Live tells its own story – 14,000 downloads in a few days and an approval rating of 4.5/5, we’re absolutely delighted with the response….The one unforeseen issue was the matchmaking on PS3, that really came out of left field and we’ve still got Sony engineers helping us look into what is at fault. I understand why people question how it wasn’t spotted sooner but we just can’t replicate that kind of scale in normal testing.”
Very interesting. I expect Aliens vs Predator to do very well on the Xbox 360 and PC; should do alright on Playstation 3. Early reviews have been harsh and I hope bigger sites like IGN and 1up give out more informative and unbiased reviews. We shall post our review up when it launches.
