This is an odd little pairing of videos. So far we’ve seen the Sorceress and the Fighter paired together as well as the Elf and the Dwarf and now Atlus USA has released a pair of videos focusing on the sturdiest most muscular character alongside the frailest looking one. That is of course, the Amazon and the Wizard.
As you can see in the videos below, Dragon’s Crown’s signature art style remains true to form with these two characters as they feature exceptional designs as well as some great combat styles. Currently Atlus and Vanillaware’s Dragon’s Crown is set to be released on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on August 6th.

Today Sega announced that they are bringing Hatsune Miku Project Diva F to both North America and Europe this August. In North America a physical retail version of the game and a downloadable version of the game will be released while Europe will be getting a download only version.
This is the first time that a Hatsune Miku title has ever been released in the West and this is some amazing news for fans of the vocaloid who have been adamant about seeing the game brought to Western shores. The game will feature all 38 unique songs, an edit mode to create and share your own videos, and 90 costumes and 100 accessories to customize the vocaloids.
To top this all off, the songs will remain in Japanese and only have an English subtitle option, meaning fans of the game will not have to be concerned about translation problems. A demo of Hatsune Miku Project Diva F will be released on the PlayStation Network on June 11 in North America and June 12 in Europe.
During Konami’s pre-E3 presentation earlier today they spent much of the half hour presentation focused on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. During this focus time they discussed some of the new features that make Lords of Shadow 2 better than the original, including free exploration that allows the player to walk all over the game’s world without any load times. It was also said that the title will be much darker and crueler than the first Lords of Shadow game.
After this discussion the company released a six minute E3 trailer which can be seen below. As for the game itself, it is currently set to be released this winter on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Ever since it was fully unveiled a few months ago, people have been wondering who would be voicing Snake in the next Metal Gear Solid game. It was already known that the previous voice actor David Hayter wouldn’t be retaining the position and today during Konami’s pre-E3 presentation they announced that Snake will be voiced by Kiefer Sutherland who will also be doing the motion capture for the character.
The reason for this change is that Kojima wanted to give Snake a more subdued voice being in his late 40s now and wanted a worker who could use his face to convey emotions rather than only his tone of voice. As for the game, The Phantom Pain will be about “race and revenge” and be a much darker title than past Metal Gear games according to Kojima.
