People have been waiting for Final Fantasy Type-0 to be released since the game was originally released by Square Enix on the PSP in 2011, so with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD set to be released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on March 17th in North America and March 20th in Europe, the last four years have been quite a wait.

That being said, from the comparison video showing off the upgrades made between the PSP version and its current-gen counterparts we can see that at least the wait might have been worth it in some small way. Don’t take my word for it though, check out the video below to see for yourself.

In what seems to be very coincidental timing, Bandai Namco Games Asia has released a trailer for God Eater 2: Rage Burst that features English subtitles. I say that because it was recently found that Bandai Namco has trademarked “Rage Burst” in Europe which means that an English release in the West is likely in the cards.

That being said, you can check out the English subtitled trailer below while, at the moment, God Eater 2: Rage Burst is set to be released on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan on February 19th and in Asia on February 26th.

Senran Kagura: Estival Versus continues to impress with 17 minute video

We’ve seen quite a bit of Senran Kagura: Estival Versus so far though most of it came in the form of screenshots. Well today that changed as Famitsu has released seventeen minutes of gameplay footage directly from the PlayStation 4 version of the game and I must say that the game is incredibly impressive looking.

You can check out the video below where the trailer starts at the beginning of the game and shows us Ryona and Ryobi as they pay a visit to their deceased sister’s grave only to encounter a strange group of shinobi performing a ritual that appears to result in their dead sister, Ryoki, coming back to life. Then because this is Senran Kagura, a dance sequence featuring all of the girls in white bikinis closes out the video.
