Because you may just end up seeing a half-naked man. Today, game director of Persona 4 Arena Kazuhisa Wada revealed a few pieces of information about the game including the gallery mode where players will be able to listen to sound effects, voice samples and music while also checking out illustrations and the arcade endings for each character.

He also happened to reveal that when you win a fight using Teddie, he will unzip the bear suit for his victory pose. This pose will sometimes be shown as the normal Teddie, Teddie as a trap in his Alice costume or Teddie just plain naked. Don’t worry too heavily however, as the half-naked Teddie is going to be a rare occurrence.

Also revealed today was the fact that players will be able to create custom titles for use in online fights. These titles are crated from three different words provided by the title and there are over 3,000 different combinations that can be used.

Today Tecmo Koei revealed a new gameplay trailer to show off their recently revealed tag-team gameplay mode which will be returning for Dead or Alive 5. In this trailer we are shown a number of combo attacks that players can perform with proper character switching and juggling techniques.

It is also worth noting that two characters have also been revealed in this trailer, Jann Lee and La Mariposa, also known as Lisa from past games. It is interesting to note however that Tecmo Koei only acknowledged Tina and Jann Lee’s existences in the trailer although Tina was previously revealed during E3, so perhaps this is not the last we’ve seen of Lisa before the game is released on September 25th.

Does the real money auction house and number of other issues revolving around Diablo 3 make you cringe for a simpler but equally enjoyable dungeon crawling experience? Well hopefully by the end of the Summer this year you will have a new alternative because Runic Games’ Torchlight 2 is still planned for a release sometime this summer.

Speaking with Joystiq, Runic president Travis Baldree has stated: “The end of summer is September 25th or something like that, right? We’re still trying to get it done for summer. It’s a big game and we’ve still got some polish to go.” So with summer already a month in, this gives Runic a little over two months to release the game and save gamers from Diablo 3 hell.

A Taiwanese teenager has died at an internet cafe after playing Diablo 3 for 40 hours straight.

The 18-year old only identified by his surname Chuang, booked a private room at an internet cafe in Tainan, southern Taiwan on July 13 and played for nearly two days without eating.

An attendant found the teenager in the room resting on Sunday, and woke him where he stood and soon collapsed after taking a few steps.

The teen was pronounced dead shortly being taken to a local hospital.

While this is a tragic incident, it is unfortunately not the first. In February earlier this year, a Taiwanese man from New Taipei, was found dead at his computers after playing Diablo 3 for 23 hours.
