After the release date was officially announced and both the standard and premium editions of The Guided Fate Paradox were detailed alongside the game’s box art reveal, now NIS America has released the first English screenshots for.
The screenshots can be found below and show off mostly combat sequences as well as a bit of dialogue between the two main characters. For those who don’t know, The Guided Fate Paradox is something of a spiritual successor to Z.H.P. and it is set to be released on the PlayStation 3 on November 5 in North America and October 25 in Europe.
Recently during an interview with Japanese TV channel TBS’s O-sama no Brunch show, Hayao Miyazaki discussed the possibility of a sequel to the 1984 anime classic, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
While Miyazaki denied having any interest in creating a sequel film himself, he however state that he would happily have Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno head the project, “I don’t really want to do it, but Anno keeps saying, ‘I want to do it! I want to do it!,’ so I tell him now that I think that if he wanted to do it, it would be fine for him to do it.”
The history of Miyazaki and Anno is actually quite an interesting one. Miyazaki was of course the original creator of the revolutionary Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind manga, which he later adapted into the film many around the world have come to know and love. It was that particular film that Anno got his big break as an animator, working as the key animator on the film. Anno has went on to state that his concepts of Evangelion mecha were inspired by the Giant God Warriors in Nausicaa.
Over the years Anno has remained a close colleague of Miyazaki and was even recently cast to voice the lead in Studio Ghibli’s latest film The Wind Rises. Could he work with Studio Ghibli once again, this time helming a Nausicaa sequel? That remains to be seen, but it sure is a lovely thought.
You can check out Hayao Miyazaki’s interview on O-sama no Brunch below. Stay tuned for further information on this possible Nausicaa sequel film as it comes to light.
Let me just start off by explaining a little bit about what “Girl Fight” actual is: Basically it’s a game that takes place, more or less, on the outer reaches of reality…well, for the characters in the game. It is an arcade-style, action-packedfighting game with every character being a super kick-arse femme fatale. A group of young girls are abducted by a, so far, unknown force called “The Foundation”, this group forces the girls into a virtual reality world run by a technologically advanced super computer called ATHENA. The Foundation are doing this to the girls as an experiment to see if they can unlock and tap into the potential PSI Powers that these fighters “supposedly”, disregarding the sanity of the girls being experimented on.
Within Girl Fight, players will battle on several different arenas, much like every fighting game, what makes this one different is that every single battleground is formed by the memories of a particular fighter undergoing the experiment. They are all based on memories, emotions, past experiences and trauma. The development team have, seemingly, done this to tell us the story of the characters without actually using words. A great deal of beautiful, High-Res images of the battlegrounds have been released, as well as some incredible concept art of other battlegrounds that may be added into the game, you can see them below in the gallery section.
Developed by Kung Fu Factory, Girl Fight is set for a Fall Release and it will be available on the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live and on the PlayStation 3 through the PlayStation Network. This is an interesting game that will surely impress so keep your eyes on the site for any and all new information and news to be released.
Online game developer Joymax has revealed its latest content update for its popular MMORPGDigimon Masters: Jogress Evolution (otherwise known as DNA Digivolution). The latest update will naturally feature the all-new Jogress mode for certain Digimon, such as the new Jogress Shakkoumon.
Shakkoumon already exists in the game world as a Champion or Ultimate evolution of Armadillomon but, when attained via Jogress mode, Shakkoumon doubles in size, making it a force to be reckoned with. Tamers at level 50 can complete a special Jogress quest to earn the new Shakkourmon. In order to complete the quest, Tamers will need Armadillomon and Patamon in the Mercenary Digimon slot along with the Jogress chip and Evoluter in their Tamer inventory.
To celebrate this new mode, players can earn a limited time item known as the Shakkoumon Package. Each package contains an Armadillomon, Patamon, Evoluter (3 pieces) and a Jogress Chip (10 pieces). All of the items needed for completing a Shakkoumon Jogress.
The new update will also feature limited time items, giveaways and new content set to run from August 27th to September 24th. For more information, visit the official site and Facebook page. Prepare to Digivolve!
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will be releasing on the Wii U this October in most territories and while this is largely the same game that released back in 2003 to mostly positive reception, a number of enhancements have been made to make the adventure a more pleasant and better designed experience. Some of these changes are obvious just by looking at the game but there are also some smaller improvements that help streamline alot of the issues people had with the original such as sailing and the infamous Triforce fetch quest. All these changes have been detailed below.
Improved lighting and shading effects and an increse in resolution to 1080p (assets such as character models remain the same).
Off-screen play support on the Gamepad.
Pro Controller support.
Gamepad can be used to display maps like the sea chart and for changing inventory on the fly using simple drag and drop functionality.
Tingle Tuner functionality has been removed and has been replaced with the Tingle Bottle.
The Tingle Bottle is used for exchanging messages to Miiverse. By putting the message in a bottle and throwing it in the ocean in your game, other players can find your bottle on the shores in their game. The message can also contain screenshots.
Hero Mode (the games versions of hard mode) has been introduced and is available from the start. In this mode you will take double damage from enemies and heart’s that you normally find to restore health are removed.
The Wind Waker item can now be played as soon as you activiate it.
Five pieces of the Triforce can now be gotten directly. Only three will require translated sea charts to find their location.
The Picto Box (Link’s camera) has been greatly updated. It is now in colour and up to 12 pictures can be stored instead of 3.
Link can now turn the camera around to take selfies at any time in the adventure. The player can change Link’s emotion to either happy, sad or surprised.
Miiverse support allows photos you take of Link or other villagers to be posted to the community.
The new Swift Sail you can obtain at an auction house once you complete the first dungeon allows you to sail much faster across the ocean and also changes the wind direction automatically to the direction you steer so you don’t have to change it manually using The Wind Waker. You won’t specifically be told this item is available by an in game prompt.
Faster animations for things like the grappling hook wrapping around poles or pulling up treasure from the bottom of the ocean.
Tingle’s island is no longer able to be skipped. Tingle has an introduction in the main quest now.
The first person camera has been improved. You can now move while in first person mode and shoot arrows.
Are these changes enough to get you to re-buy this Zelda classic ? Let us know in the comments below and check out our preview of the game from the show floor at PAX Australia.
Remember Girl Fight? It was announced in February 2012, received a bit of information after that and then pretty much fell of the radar for more than a year? Well it is still coming out and today the developers of the game have released some gameplay footage for the game which can be seen below.
In the video we see three characters highlighted: Daisy, Shogun, and War Child as they fight it out. Apparently the fighters in the game have been abducted by a corporation called “The Foundation” that is looking to access their “Psi Powers.” Currently Girl Fight is set to be published by Majesco sometime this fall on the XBLA and PSN.
Those familiar with the Etrian Odyssey series know that the games are far from story focused, which makes Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl quite unique since it is the first game with an actual set storyline. To show off this feature, Atlus USA has released a trailer highlighting the game’s storyline and introducing the characters.
Also released today were a handful of new screenshots which feature some of the FOEs that players will encounter as they play through the game which is currently set to be released on October 1st in North America. As for Europe, no plans have been announced for that region as of yet.
Fans of Dead or Alive are familiar with the numerous costume choices available for each fighter in the game and while Dead or Alive 5 had 114 costumes on disc, there will be far more than that in Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate. According to the most recent news from Tecmo Koei, there will be 231 costumes in the title that can be unlocked through playing the game.
Another new feature for the game is GP, or Grade Points, which are earned by fighting and winning matches. The online mode has also been overhauled to add not only a 2-on-2 tag battle but also Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Fighter ranks to give players a chance to reach new competitive levels of play. Also added is a Character Point system that shows how well versed in a character a player is, which will give gamers a glimpse at whether or not the player is using their strongest fighter.
Ubisoft, the team behind the upcoming pirate assassin action adventure game Assassin’s Creed IV, have released a new trailer for the game at Gamescom 2013.
Simply titled the “Gamescom Trailer,” the latest video from Ubisoft features some fantastic video footage of assassin pirate Edward Kenway as he maneuvers through the city to meet up with a particularly unpleasant axe-wielding chap and his friends.
Throughout the trailer we can also get a good sense of the time and place, as well as who Kenway is in it. We can see him wrecking house one minute and, after a change of clothes, enjoying a drink with a rather joyous young lass the next.
Be sure to check out the video in the video player below this article for the full treat.
