Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time trailer demonstrates some classic RPG gameplay

With most RPGs moving into the action RPG format, there are only a few companies still out there that believe in old-school combat mechanics and tactical fighting. One such company happens to be Atlus USA and their upcoming game Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time which will be released next week on the PlayStation Portable.

The gameplay trailer can be seen below and in this we are treated to some classic TRPG action. It is worth noting that Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time will not be compatible with the PlayStation Vita upon release, though if Gungnir is anything to go by, it may be compatible around a month after release.

Sleep well with these Dead Space 3 Feeder screenshots

Dead Space 3’s drop-in and drop-out co-op may or may not be a fear killer when Dead Space 3 is released, but it certainly looks like the new Feeder enemy is going to do its best to scare you then probably try to kill you and maybe even eat you afterwards.

Today EA released a slew of new images of the Feeder necromorphs which can be seen below. It is said that these feeder enemies are formed when a human eats corrupted necromorph meat. Well… I suppose when you are stranded on a frozen planet with no food around, dead mutated flesh may start to look appetizing after awhile.

Square Enix London Studios revealed a nice little treat today for those who happen to have a save file for Just Cause 2. You see, when the player starts up Sleeping Dogs for the first time the game will search for a Just Cause 2 save file and if one is found then the Rico Rodriguez outfit will be unlocked for use in the main game.

This outfit will be available on all launch platforms and will provide an extra boost to your hijacking ability, allowing you to perform stunt-like takeovers from a further distance. Three images were released to show off the costume as well as demonstrate the fancy hijacking players can pull off if they happen to wear the outfit. Neat little bonus ain’t it?

Gungnir now playable on the PlayStation Vita

There are a number of ways that Sony has mishandled the PlayStation Vita since the handheld launched a few months ago but one of the most insulting is the fact that newly released PSP games aren’t even compatible with the PlayStation Vita when they are released.

One such game which experienced this issue was Atlus’ Gungnir which was released roughly a month ago on the PSP, both digitally and physically, but at the time was not playable on the Vita. This turned out to be quite a shame considering the title turned out to be an interesting SRPG and those interested in seeing our review of the game can find it here, but it seems that shame has ended.

Atlus announced over Twitter that Sony got off their lazy butts and Gungnir is now playable on the PlayStation Vita. They did warn however that it may not appear in the Vita Store until August 7th so the use of the PS3’s transferring system may be needed to place the title on the Vita.
