Square Enix and Bigpoint Unveil Gameglobe

With the full announcement for Sony’s upcoming fantasy game on the PlayStation Vita only two days away it only makes sense that they are keeping all of the details about the game from the public. However today they did release a trailer that may as well be the definition of teaser.

The trailer contains a very small amount of shaded gameplay at the end as well as the fact that the game is being developed at Sony’s Japan Studio. The full reveal will occur at the Tokyo International Forum on May 10th. Perhaps we will also be hearing news about a worldwide release for what Sony is calling a “true fantasy title?”

Face off against Ryu in Asura’s Wrath today

In what can only be seen as a very strange crossover, even for Capcom’s standards, the DLC that will pit Asura against Street Fighter’s Ryu in Asura’s Wrath was released worldwide today. The DLC can be picked up on the PS3 or 360 for $2 or 160 MSP respectively. It is worth noting however that the DLC is not English dubbed and the characters will only speak in Japanese.

Not much is known about this DLC at the moment besides the fact that the two fighters will face off against one another in a Street Fighter IV like battle system. Does this mean that Asura may be a character in Ultimate Street Fighter IV Arcade Crossover Hyper Extended Edition Infinity Burst? Possibly. Or you know… they’ll lock him on there as some on-disk DLC.

Hitman: Sniper Challenge may be a spinoff pre-order bonus for Hitman: Absolution

Why wait for Hitman: Absolution to get an official release date when you can get some sniper action very soon? Well, that may be the case as a magazine ad from Game Informer has been scanned and uploaded online which reveals that a downloadable game called “Hitman: Sniper Challenge” will be given as a pre-order bonus for those who pre-order Hitman: Absolution at GameStop.

The ad itself states the game will feature one “replayable sniper mission” which will place an emphasis on score. Those with the highest scores will be entered to win “awesome prize packages” as well. Currently Square Enix hasn’t said anything official about this reveal so this should be taken as a rumor at the moment, albeit a rumor that is most likely real.

Get your first look at the Hatsune Miku PlayStation Vita

Earlier today it was revealed that Sony would be releasing a Crystal White PlayStation Vita in Japan as well as one featuring everyone’s favorite virtual idol Hatsune Miku. At the time however the only image revealed during this announcement was the simple white Vita with only a brief mention of the vocaloid version.

Now some footage has been released of this Hatsune Miku Limited Edition Vita as you can see the image above and the trailer below show off this version of the Vita. It is sad to know however that the chances of this Vita version ever being released overseas are practically zero which is pretty much the same chance that the Next Hatsune Miku Project Diva for the Vita will be localized.

Kinect Play Fit and wireless heart monitor Joule may be in development for Kinect

Considering how many fitness games have been released for the Kinect since it has been released it was only a matter of time before someone, namely Microsoft, make some sort of system that tracks your amount of exercise and even a heart-rate monitor. Anonymous sources have spoken with The Verge and these sources have said that Microsoft is planning to release Kinect Play Fit and Joule sometime soon.

Kinect Play Fit will track your exercise across “most Kinect games” and will save your data to the cloud while Joule will be a heart rate monitor which will wirelessly monitor your heart rate so players can try to keep their heart rate “within a target goal for weight loss, strength, or cross-fitness workouts.”

Microsoft themselves have been very helpful with the rumor by stating that “Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation.” Anyone want to bet that next month at E3 we will be seeing these two things revealed?

Sorcery Dev Diary #1

The first Developer Diary for the PS3 Move game “Sorcery”, developed by “The Workshop”, takes a look into the making of the game. It explores what kind of Move mechanics to expect in the game, through interviews with the artists, designers, and developers, along with plenty of screencaps and handheld shots of them playing the game itself.

It looks pretty good so far, and seems a good omen for the second-generation of Move titles. While it’s hard to tell how it really feels to play without playing it yourself, the way they talk about the gameplay, as well as the way it looks, points to it being a very visceral and interactive experience.

Sorcery is set for release May 22nd, 2012 in the US, and soon afterwards in Europe and Japan. See below for the full video.

Earlier today THQ announced that they will be releasing a sequel to the highly praised and esteemed Company of Heroes with Company of Heroes 2. In this game players will be taking control of the USSR forces in order to repel the Nazis away from eastern front, and away from Moscow.

On the game, representatives from the developers had this to say:

Greg Wilson, Producer at Relic Entertainment commented, “Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology while retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success.”

 

Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President of Core Games commented, “We are excited to announce a sequel to one of THQ’s best loved properties. Company of Heroes 2 will deliver an amazing strategy experience along with a strong post-launch digital content plan that enhances and expands the product’s lifecycle.”

The original Company of Heroes is a game that I remember playing as a teenager and it was a pretty decent experience, hopefully the sequel will be continuing that tradition. We can expect the title in 2012 and you can find out more about the game by visiting the Official Website.
