Here's some news on the upcoming PlatinumGames title!
Looks like the MadWord pseudo-sequel Anarchy Reigns will get three more new characters, it's good to also see some new faces after the latest announcement of Bayonetta joining the roster. The game will debut this July, and we didn't got any more news as of late...
Three characters have been finally announced now, all at the same time! And for a reason, the sisters Rin-Rin, Fei-Rin et Ai-Rin will share the same gimmicks and motifs, but will each enjoy a different gameplay element, a different weapon.
Enjoy:
Looks mighty fun!
Everyone's expecting the multiplayer mode, but the solo campaign(s) will also be pretty solid from the sounds of it!
Here's a couple of videogame news! 3rd person action games it is for t'day! First up, Sega and Platinum Games just released two new trailers for Anarchy Reigns, on both Sega's (SegaSide)and Platinum's (PlatinumSide) website of the game.
Duality is the key word here.
They both highlight Jack Cayman and Leo's scenario. (which just goes to confirm this game's simply MadWorld 2 at heart) Enjoy:
Loads of gameplay and CGi cinematic scenes in there! It is basically a continuation of the story of MadWorld. And the game itself plays pretty similarly in the singleplayer mode. (the multiplayer will be more action/match/arena oriented)

Meanwhile, Activision released an all-new trailer for their own Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. This sequel to War for Cybertron is looking pretty promising, if you ask me.
And I'm not a fan of Transformers (mostly a casual fan you can say), but seeing these "dinobots", "insectbots", etc. come together in this epic conclusion.. High Moon did a great job of improving an already fun enough game.
The pseudo-sequel to Madworld (Wii), Anarchy Reigns, gets a proper release date as well as a new bonus character. The game is sheduled for July 6 now. This beat 'em all will be mutliplayer focused, but still contain a long enough and decent single player campaign. It will mostly play similar to Madworld (allowing combos, grabs and the use of weapons/objects to defeat your opponents).
Joining the cast of this "Madworld 2" alongside Jack and some new ones will be Bayonetta guest-starring in this game. (and add the rumored Vanquish protagonist and this will become a Platinum Games epic crossover - fitting for Platinum Games' last collaboration with Sega!)
Oh, and apparently, she'll be DLC and pre-order bonus.
And here's some new news regarding upcoming games, straight from this year's TGS! Also, other miscellaneous information. First up, Sega shows some more of its upcoming titles.
Like Sonic Generations. I already posted lots of stuff regarding this return in form to the Sonic series. But so few info about the handheld 3DS port. Let's check it out!
And it looks fantastic! A good alternative to the main systems HD version for sure! And it will even have some bonus content like Sonic 3's Mushroom Hill Zone! Nice^^
And here's a look at Madworld's pseudo-sequel, Anarchy Reigns! The solo/storymode to be precise, which will actually really act as a sequel to Madworld:
Cool stuff. The game will be out in January, next year. And it's nice to see again all these faces back from Madworld, Jack, the Baron, etc... Though I miss Madworld's creative art style. (in black and white, no colors thank you~)
Meanwhile at the TGS, Tecmo revealed the upcoming new entry in their long-running classic fighting game series, Dead or Alive 5!
This game will mark the first DOA entry without series creator Tomonobu Itagaki on board. (well, second if you count that PSP port of one of the "minigames party" DOA...hum..) Good... bad... Only time will tell. Also, with fighting games being all popular these last couple of years + finally a multi-console DOA, I'm guessing this game will be the starting point for many newcomers to the series.
Here's the trailer...
Looks cool..as far as early in-game gameplay footage go. Dynamic cameras, really? Or was it just for show in this video?
Graphically it doesn't look that far from DoA 4... Wait and see!
And here's a teaser poster, worry not the gals will be back too:
The title is planned for a 2012 release on 360 and PS3.
And in case you forgot about Tecmo/Team Ninja's other successful franchise, the Ninja Gaiden series will also be brought back Itagaki-less in the aptly named Ninja Gaiden 3.
And this time no "Sigma" since this game will be simultaneously released on Xbox 360 AND PS3!
Finally, let's have a look at Rockstar ruining another game series I like. I know, I know...there's lots of R* fans out there... I already went large in details why I didn't like what they do to games nowadays, specially regarding a little game I liked in the past. I know lots of kids think they're game are all cool and mature (hint: violence+bllod =/= mature, that's what kids think, not what the reality is for adults). But I'm so tired of their GTA-ization of non-GTA games...
ANYWAYS! Here's Max Payne 3. A game that looks and feels nothing like both previous Max Panye games co-developed by 3DRealms and Remedy. Which was a noir-esque action movie-like experience. Turned into a mindless cover-shooter based GTA-like generic mainstream title:
You know what? I could have easily accepted this new game if it was something new and original. And different IP. Like this it just looks like they're trying to sell their random new product under a familiar and liked name.... Kinda how it would be if their last game, L.A.Noir, had been called, say, "Streets of Rage 4" for example.
There's a teaser trailer for another new Kirby game already? I didn't had time to even buy/play Epic Yarn! XD
Look right here:
It looks like a return to a more classical approach. Which is good for those stupid morons crybabies lame Kirby Epic Yarn-haters.
And also, since when did people start calling Sony's new upcoming handheld system the NGP?
Next Generation Portable is also a quite stupid name, you'll see why in 2 console generations! :P
I don't have a problem with what the system may or may not be able to do or what its future titles will be. But you don't take a name which the acronym was already used for a (obscure) classic system. Specially not one from SNK!!!
BOOM!! This is the real "NGP"!!
This above is the NEO GEO POCKET!! Well, I personally have and prefer the Neo Geo Pocket Color, but that's another story...
Couldn't they call their system the "PSP2" or the NEWPSP or something that makes more sense than "Next Generation Portable"?? This sounds like one of those fake consoles that have a dozen Megadrive roms built in...
And finally, here's some pictures of Platinum games upcoming title, Anarchy Reigns. Featuring no less than Jack from Mad World!
In COLORS!
Amazing! It's sort of disturbing at first sight to see Jack in colors :P (I already miss Mad World original art direction...)
One of my favorite current gaming studios just presented their brand new IP!
Platinum Games, an independent offshoot from Capcom that has been publishing all new original games under Sega's, just announced their new title.
It's gonna be called...well it hasn't really been clear nor constant depending the material they've shown. It's either gonna be Max Anarchy or Anarchy Reigns. (my guess? MA will be the japanese title and AR the western name) It's gonna be directed by Masaki Yamanaka, another ex-Capcom.
I really like how Platinum's been able to create and make up new games, unlike most Japanese developers that only rely on sequels nowadays. (and US game studios too..)
This so-called Anarchy (let's keep it simple) will be a brawler/beat 'em all with, I'm sure, some original twists to the gameplay formula like only Platinum is able to do. They've been focusing on the online aspect of the game (since their last title, Vanquish, was criticized for not having one), but it will also have an offline campaign. The game will offer a Tag Team mode amd a Battle Royal. And also the return of a previous Platinum character, in the name of...
Which will look like this in this new game (in color)...
And now, let's make way for the teaser trailer:
The official website is already up here. This sounds pretty cool and things are looking great. I love how people are already bashing this title, like they always do on the web (trolls!), like Bayonnetta or Vanquish in the past but will completly shut down once the thing is released. Don't you have a bit of faith in Platinum by now?
This massively-multiplayer melee fighting action game will hit store on Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year.
