February 15, 2013

Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar, the upcoming iOS game from EA, has received a trailer to show off what the game will include as a free-to-play RPG. Set 21 years after Ultima IV, it is up to players to try and save Britannia again and this time from the Black Weep that plagues the country.

But, don’t worry about having to go it alone as this new Ultima tale is designed to utilize co-op, so players can band together in the world to take on the harder foes.

Dead or Alive 5 Plus’ touch fighting detailed; cheerleader outfits revealed

Today Team Ninja and Tecmo Koei revealed new details about the touch fighting system which will be exclusive to the PlayStation Vita release Dead or Alive 5 Plus. When the game is released on March 19th players will have the first time ever to fight against the Dead or Alive 5 roster in first person.

The touch fight mode allows players to attack opponents with simple taps or swiping of the touch screen as well as traditional button controls of course. As you can see in the images below the fight’s will take place in first person so that players will feel like they are in the middle of the action, or considering the opponent shown off in the screenshots below, a better look at the game’s enhanced graphics and special physics.

Landing a five hit combo in the first person screen can allow for players to perform a Critical Burst which will leave their opponent open for more damage as characters react to where they are touched/hit. As you can see below, the only time the perspective changes to third-person is for power blows or a throw.

Besides the first person fighting mode, Team Ninja has also added a number of training modes to help players grow accustomed to each fighter’s unique move set. These modes include things such as Free Training, Command Training, a basic Tutorial and a Combo Challenge. You can also check out some newly revealed cheerleader outfits which will be exclusive to the Vita version of the game below.

With the end of the current console generation in sight, many people are wondering what the next generation of gaming consoles will look like. Well today there seems to be a glimpse of what the PlayStation 4’s controller may just look like.

Today the above image was posted online which shows a PlayStation style controller plugged into a development kit. The controller features what appears to be a touchscreen in the middle of the controller, a blue-light on the top which may be similar to the Move’s light, a speaker in the center and some very odd looking analog sticks. Obviously this is just a rumor for now, but with Sony set to announce something next week in New York, we’ll know for sure then.

Kill Me Baby anime licensed by Sentai Filmworks

Well… this is certainly a pleasant surprise. Today Sentai Filmworks announced that they have acquired the license for the Kill Me Baby anime series. This is certainly a unique pick-up because not only did the anime air last year in January 2012, it was widely regarded as one of the most boring anime of that season despite the fact that I found it a nice little diversion that could provide a few laughs here and there.

Anyways, Sentai Filmworks is actually going to be providing an English dub for the series and are planning on releasing it sometime later this year. For those who don’t know, the story of Kill Me Baby is almost non-existent as it is a gag anime focused on Sonya, an assassin girl who attends a school and is constantly bothered by Yasuna her idiotic friend and a ninja named Sonya who seems more than willing to scam people out of their money.

Nintendo have announced earlier tonight that they would be a Miiverse channel based around past franchises. The first of these channels is to be the The Legend of Zelda channel based on the Zelda franchise. It is here that players will be able to discuss all things Zelda. And hey, sometimes, Eiji Aonuma is poised to join the discussions.

This is an excellent move for Nintendo as they have just released their Hyrule Historia in conjunction with Dark Horse publishing, so fans will now have an excellent place discuss the discrepancies and other theories presented with the book.

Are you a Zelda fan? What do you think of this?

Pokemon X and Y: Eevee’s New Evolution Gets Named and Detailed

Nintendo of America has just released Sylveon, Eevee’s newest form. Sylveon, originally named Ninfia in the Japanese version of the game, will be in the two new 3DS games – Pokemon X and Y. One of the more flexible Pokemon in terms of evolution pathways, Sylveon hasn’t been given an element alignment as yet.

Could this mean that there will be an as yet unannounced class of Pokemon? Looking at the video that came with the announcement the skill set includes flying cards as an attack, as well as some energy based attacks. This may suggest a trickster style to the new element to be introduced. Has Pokemon gone too far in extending the class categories? Only time shall tell.
