Vanquish coming to PS3 and Xbox 360

by

The Famitsu magazine (same one that showed the new Project Diva game) also has an interview with Shinji Mikami, director of Vanquish. He confirms that the game will be out by Winter 2010 (at least in Japan) and that it is not a ‘normal’ shooter. You won’t be shooting humans, only robots.

One thing I do see in the magazine though, is that it is a multi-platform game, not an exclusive as rumored before. Maybe this PS3 port will be better than Bayonetta? I hope so. Also screens make it look like a fast paced 3rd person shooter.

by


[SEGA takes all, sorry!]

SEGA must be really proud of themselves, they have now taken over the PC charts, by stealing the top 3 spots. First came in Napoleon: Total War, which debuted at number one, then came Football Manager 2010 at number two (last week it came in at three, so an improvement) and at number three came in Aliens vs Predator; which dropped 2 spots since last week.

Really good week for SEGA of Europe, lets hope the keep it up.  To see the full top 10 chart, click the jump.

Yakuza 4 commercial

by


Here is the Yakuza 4 commercial that is airing in Japan, all 15 seconds of it. I love how the Japanese man just screams at you. What is he saying?


Narrator: “This is the record of the miracle of passionate men. That moving feeling! Ryu ga Gotoku” Kazuma: “Talk to the fists,”

I don’t really understand Japanese adverts, but OK.

360 Gamer rates Sonic Adventure XBLA port

by

SEGA might not have revealed Sonic Adventure for XBLA, but it seems that 360 Gamer magazine has already done a review for the title. They say that the port has no extras and its basically Sonic Adventure DX on your 360.

If you wanted to know, they gave the game a 5 out of 10, stating “really hasn’t aged well.” Oh well, I guess we can skip this one.

ESRB gives out more Sonic 4 info

by


“Like this, but in 3-D”

The ESRB has let some tiny bits of info slipped about Sonic 4, problem is that it just sounds like classic Sonic, which sounds very good.

This is a side-scrolling adventure game in which players zoom through themed levels, collect gold rings, and jump on tiny robot enemies. Players earn points for collecting “power-ups” and freeing tiny animals that are trapped in the robots.

During boss battles at the end of levels, players may encounter an arch nemesis in a mechanical device that gets charred and emits some flames when damaged.

Freeing tiny animals? Sounds good to me.

Aliens: Colonial Marines back in development

by

After the success of Aliens vs Predator, it is not very shocking to hear that Aliens: Colonial Marines is back in development. But we have gotten it confirmed by Gearbox Software boss Randy Pitchfork.

“We have an Aliens game with Sega and 20th Century Fox which we’re really excited about, It’s the thing I’ve been stealing from all my career. Now I’m really working on it, but we’ve been quiet about that so far.”

We expect to hear more about this title in the upcoming months or possibly closer to E3. We hope that this time around, it is actually released! Maybe they can even get that Aliens RPG back in development?

Valkyria Chronicles’ latest DLC missing English voices

by

If you have played Valkyria Chronicles and its last 3 DLCs, you would know that they feature English (and optional Japanese) voice overs. It seems that the choice is now gone in the latest DLC titled The Challenge of the Edy.

Why did SEGA take out the English voice overs? Most likely to cut cost. Seems that SEGA is really penny pinching now-a-days. I wonder if Valkyria Chronicles 2 will be Japanese only?

Yakuza 4 demo hitting March 5th and new minigame announced

by

Eager fans of the Yakuza series will soon get a chance to try out a segment of Shun Akiyama’s (Picture up top on the far left) story and several minigames in Yakuza 4, with the demo being announced for March 5th. But if you feel you want to take down punks with the Dragon of Dojima or want to try out the two new characters, there is a battle mode also available to try out all four characters. In a bit of older news, SEGA announced a new minigame “Let’s Make a Fighter” a play on SEGA’s “Let’s Make a X” sports series in Japan. You get to train fighters as Saejima (The long haired and big assassin) and help them try to make it all the way to the top, if they can become one of the top fighters in the tournament, you get to use them in tag team tournament battles, sounds good!

by

It seems we may finally get a solid date for SEGA’s latest RPG developed by Obsidian. Schedule for release way back in 2009 and delayed, if my memory serves me right, upto three times, SEGA has finally penciled in a date, May 27th and May 28th for Australia and Europe respectively and a slightly later date of June 1st for North America. In the mean time we get to enjoy a snazzy new trailer that shows a little more about the world and the events occurring in Alpha Protocol.

SEGA explains missing Yakuza 3 content

by


SEGA has posted that they will be ‘up front’ about the missing content on their blog today, explaining why the content was cut. Basically, either it would be cut or Yakuza 3 won’t be release:

“Ultimately, the choice that had to be made was either no Yakuza 3 in the west, or a version of the game that was almost exactly the same, but with a little less trivia.”

SEGA confirms that the hostess sections are missing and “history trivia”, which I assume they mean the AnswerXAnswer arcade machine sections.
