With a little more than a month before it comes to the WiiU and 3DS, Sega held a media tour for Sonic Lost World where they showed off some new aspects of this upcoming game.
But while the developers are obviously striving to appeal to longtime fans of this series, they’re also adding new ways for this speed freak to satisfying his ring addiction.
Sixteen months. That’s how long it took Blizzard to do a console version of their hack & slash action game, Diablo III. Which may be small potatoes when you consider it took them twelve years to make this sequel to 2000’s Diablo II in the first place, but still, taking sixteen months to do bring a PC game to consoles — where, it could be argued, it should’ve been all along — that’s a long time to wait.
But now that it’s finally available on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with a PS4 edition due out next year, it’s hard not to think that if there was any sequel worth waiting sixteen months for, let alone a dozen years, this would be it.
DreamWorks have issued a pair of images from the upcoming Need For Speed movie, which, of course, is based on the long-running video game series.
Warner Bros. Digital Distribution have released a new trailer for the online video series Mortal Kombat: Legacy II, and have announced that the series will premiere on Machinima on September 26, with every episode available that day.
Zen Studios have announced that they’ll release Star Wars Pinball for the 3DS on September 19.
On the Spike TV show Deadliest Warrior, experts would discuss the fighting techniques of famous soldiers throughout history, and debate which combatant would win if they were pitted against each other.
Now a Deadliest Warrior-informed expansion for the game Chivalry: Medieval Warfare will let PC players find out for themselves…WHO IS THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR! DUN DUN DUN!
Well, okay not now; the expansion isn’t out until the fall. But you get my point.
Zen Studios and LucasArts have announced that Star Wars Pinball: Balance Of The Force — the second collection of Star Wars pinball tables — will be available this fall.
The collection will consist of three tables, all of which are based on the original trilogy.
This morning in Japan, Sony held a press conference to announce (among other things) a new version of the PlayStation Vita.
The new version will be 20% thinner and 15% lighter, and will also have a slightly improved battery that lasts an hour longer than the original model.
It will also swap its OLED screen for an LCD, and will have a 1GB internal hard drive, though Sony also announced a new 64GB memory card for the Vita.
The new Vita will also be available in white, pink, light blue, and grey, as well as the original black.
It will be relased on October 10 in Japan, where stores are already accepting pre-orders, and while there was no word as to when or if this version would be released in the U.S. or anywhere else, it’s a good bet that it will at some point.
Whether we’ll get the white, gray, pink, or blue models as well as the black one, however, is a different story.
At a recent event held, in part, to announce the opening of their new Los Angeles studio, Konami and Kojima Productions revealed new details about the upcoming stealth action game Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.
Set in the studio’s theater, the event consisted of a previously seen trailer, a live demo — which was running on a PC and is representative of how the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game will look — and a Q&A session with director Hideo Kojima and art director Yoji Shinkawa that we were not allowed to record.
