-

December 5, 2015

It has been a very long time coming but it seems like a dream that many people have had may come true, depending on how much people still trust Tim Schafer when it comes to budgeting. You see, Double Fine Productions has announced that they plan on finally creating a sequel to the critically acclaimed Psychonauts, however they need fan help to do so. In order to begin working on Psychonauts 2 Double Fine is seeking $3.3 million in funding through a Fig campaign.

If funded, Psychonauts 2 will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Linux with potential backers needing to pay at least $39 for a PC version while console versions will require an additional $18 and you can check out a quick overview of the game below alongside a teaser trailer and video for the funding campaign.

In Psychonauts 2, Raz realizes his dream and visits Psychonauts Headquarters. However, when he gets there, he finds it’s not the perfect place he expected and quickly realizes that the Psychonauts need him more than he needs them.
Psychonauts 2 will feature a new hub world inside Psychonauts HQ. You’ll access new mental worlds as Raz peeks inside the minds of a host of new characters who need his help to combat their inner demons and unravel their deep-seated emotional issues. Raz will hone his secret agent PSI-abilities—and learn new ones too—using them to solve mysteries and uncover evil plots.

Yakuza 5’s Supporting Cast Introduced with New Screenshots

Although we still don’t have a set release date for Yakuza 5 that hasn’t stopped Sega from releasing a new batch of screenshots for the title and this time they are focusing on introducing some of the people who the protagonists of the game and the people they get caught up with such as numerous gangsters, desperate civilians, and unsavory characters that make up the Japanese underworld.

Sega has even provided a bit of a description for some of these characters, a few that are far worse than others and a few that simply just want to help out, and you can check out those profiles as well as some additional screenshots below:

Masaru Watase
This imposing gentleman is Masaru Watase, an ambitious lieutenant for the Omi Alliance who wants to be the next chairman . You can tell by his permanent scowl that he is not someone you want to mess with. Watase wants the Tokyo-based yakuza – the Tojo Clan – to be at their strongest, because he would love nothing more than to have a good ol’ fashioned gang war.

Osaka Detective
The stoic Osaka Detective is a mysterious figure that shows up in most of the protagonists’ storylines. He often drops important clues and “helps” steer the main characters towards a specific goal. Are these manipulations based on a personal vendetta or is there a larger picture that our protagonists can’t see?

Goro Majima
This familiar face is the Mad Dog of the Shimano Family, Goro Majima. He has a quick temper and a violent streak, but is loyal to his friends, in his own twisted way. Majima is up to his old tricks in Yakuza 5, but nothing important happens with him. Nope, nothing at all.

Hiroshi Kugihara
This ghoulish looking figure is Hiroshi Kugihara, a sadistic inmate doing hard time alongside Saejima. Although Saejima simply wants to carry out his prison sentence in peace, Kugihara and his accomplices attempt to make Saejima’s stretch a living hell by constantly beating him up. Saejima has been able to keep his cool and not retaliate, but this is Saejima we’re talking about and he can only hold off for so long…

Sosuke Komaki
As you can see, Sosuke Komaki is all about fighting and rocking the 90s grunge look. Although Sosuke may seem like a bad guy for wanting to beat up Kiryu, he’s actually a trainer who helps Kiryu get back into shape. Long-time Yakuza fans may recognize the lineage of Sosuke’s fighting style…

Arslan: The Warriors of Legend Demo Dropping on PS4 in January

Koei Tecmo has a little something for those who may be on the fence about Arslan: The Warriors of Legend and happen to be PlayStation 4 owners. The company has announced that a demo will be released on the PlayStation Store on January 12th but as for an Xbox One demo, currently no announcements have been made.

The demo will include a mission from the first stage of Arslan: The Warriors of Legend and take players through a tutorial mission playing as Arlsan as well as his parotector Daryun. This will allow players a chance to try out the game’s new moves and powers such as the previously shown “Mardan Rush” and “Weapon Arts” attacks.

While it will not be appearing in the aforementioned demo, Koei Tecmo also detailed a cooking feature that players can use in Free Mode. By collecting various recipes during missions in Story Mode a meal can be prepared by Elam in order to provide buffs to party members before heading onto the battlefield.
