Rear Touch For MGS HD Collection Vita

In addition to a tweet made by Hideo Kojima yesterday, some new details have emerged for the Playstation Vita version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Today, Kojima continued to reveal the amount of additional voice acting that will be present in the game, with today’s recordings including Ginga Banjou (Liquid Snake) and David Oh (Zero). One of those additional lines is the following:

“If you flick the rear touch pad, you can slice the enemy’s throat.”

That line will be said by Major Zero of Metal Gear Solid 3. But the line itself is interesting. It has revealed that the rear touch pad of the Playstation Vita will be used during the games. It seems that knifing enemies will be used via the rear touch pad. Whether it will be the only method of input or if this is in addition of a physical input is unknown at this time. In addition that that detail, zooming in first person mode will be taken care of on the touch screen. Players will pinch the screen left and right, although Kojima describes it as a “stretch.”

A couple of screenshots with the game running on the Vita were also posted. You can check them out below.

Nintendo ask the fans to decide Reverse Cover for Xenoblade Chronicles

If you are like the rest of the Wii owners out there, it’s a pretty safe bet that you’d be anticipating Xenoblade Chronicles, which launches in April. If Nintendo know anything about this much-loved property, it is that the fans are what made Xenoblade possible, and in a rather awesome turn of events, all of you can choose the reverse cover for Xenoblade Chronicles.

There are four different covers that have been posted on Nintendo’s Facebook page. The one that gets the most “Likes” will grace the back cover of the game, allowing the user to have a nice choice of whatever art they fancy. So yeah, go to Nintendo’s Facebook, pick out the image you prefer, and get to liking. For now though, get a nice glimpse of all four arts below and let us know your favorite.

The Muris in Lime Odyssey: The Chronicles of Orta

Aeria Games, publisher of free-to-play online games, has revealed the opening cinematic for the Muris race, one of the three playable races in the mmorpg, Lime Odyssey: The Chronicles of Orta. The Muris once lived on an island high above Orta which depended on Lime to stay afloat. With the supply of Lime diminishing thanks to a greedy tyrant, the island city started to fall slowly to the land. Now centuries have passed and many Muris have come down to live on the lands below to seek answers and to search for Lime. The Warrior, Thief, Mage, and Cleric battle classes are available to this fun and mischievous race.

Lime Odyssey: The Chronicles of Orta will be published in North America in 2012. Sign-up on http://limeodyssey.aeriagames.com to participate in the upcoming closed beta test.

New Shoot Many Robots Trailer Shows Off Many Robots

Shoot Many Robots is using its latest trailer to demonstrate that developer Demiurge is not kidding around when they say many robots.

With everything from spider-like Gatling gun wielding machines to giant robotic blimps full of gas on display, the trailer for the four-player side-scrolling shooter really reveals the quirky fun behind this downloadable adventure. Beyond many robots, the game also features RPG elements, and two playable modes: Traversal, which is the story campaign, and Survival, which, like the game’s title, is pretty self-explanatory.

Shoot Many Robots will hit Xbox Live, PC, and the Playstation Network later in the year. Check out the trailer below!

New Screens for Spec Ops: The Line

2K Games has released some heavily anticipated screenshots for the upcoming third person shooter, Spec Ops: The Line.

According to the Spec Ops forums, there has been a lot of debate whether or not this game will be able to outshine or replicate the Socom series. I bet the third person shooter diehards will be ready to jump ship if it lives up to the potential. One thing I have learned about this genre is that the story is going to be damn good (e.g. Army of Two, Gears of War). Move over Socom, and gaze at “The Line”.

Thus far most game enthusiasts can agree that the graphics are up to par. Take a look at the screens below to catch a glimpse of the cataclysmic aftermath that is Dubai. For more screens and videos check out the Spec Ops: The Line Official Website.

Newest details for Microsoft Flight – Release date and video

After a quick beta test, Microsoft has decided on a release date for the newest iteration of their flight simulation game. Microsoft Flight will be launching on February 29. The game’s pricing structure is modeled like a free to play game.  You’ll be able to fly as much as you want with a limited variety of planes over the landscape of the big island of Hawaii for free.  If you want to unlock the rest of Hawaii or other aircraft and locales, you’ll need to pony up some cash.  Just to unlock the rest of the islands, you will need $20.  One of extra virtual aircraft models is priced at $15.   Hopefully, other add-ons won’t be priced so steeply.

Twisted Metal has new release date in Europe

 

Although Europe will be not be getting Twisted Metal at the same time as the rest of the world, it does not mean that they will be left out all together.  According to creator David Jaffe’s Twitter, the game will launch on March 7, 2012.

The reason for the delay can be traced to censorship by the SCEE.  Jaffe has issued statements that indicate that the integral parts of the story will be unaffected, despite changes the censors made.   Most, if not all the cuts made will be to the cut scenes and not the gameplay.

What part of Twisted Metal are you most looking forward to?
