Gamin' NEWS! ASSassin's Creed shows some new toys, meanwhile the SHINOBI is back!

No that wasn't a misspelling :P

Here's some more gameplay footage of Ubi's latest entry from its well known parkour-inspired gaming series and Sega's Shinobi resurrected on the 3DS!
Ubisoft released two new trailers for Assassin's Creed: Revelations!
In the first one, we get a look at Ezio's brand new toy in Revelations..



Love this new hook-mechanic. Looks pretty fun :)
In the second video, we get a look at how the combat will be like:



I still love AC's amazing combat mechanic! So much fun than most brawlers/beat 'em all these days.
Plus it's completely QTE-less which is quite rare these days :P


And here's a look at the upcoming new Shinobi 3DS coming from Griptonite Games.
Will it keep the standard kept on the series by Sega? Will it be as hardcore, fun and arcade as past titles?
Check it out!


SHINOBI 3DS - Streetpass par SEGA

It does look much better than what was shown earlier, originally.
You will be able to collect coins in the game it seems, you will be able to spend those to unlock new challenge maps or even play as the original hero from the 16-bits Shinobi games, Joe Musashi! The game will be released on Nov. 11.

Looks pretty fun!
That makes one games I might want to get. More reasons like that and I might end up thinking about getting a 3DS :P
Ha!

Gamin' NEWS! two old franchises are brought back

Let's check out the new videos just freshly released to two completely different long forgotten franchises brought back to life with our current modern technology.
And I'm speaking of Sega's SHINOBI and Rockstar's MAX PAYNE!
Here's a brand new Japanese trailer for Shinobi 3D from Sega.
The game's sheduled for November 17 in Japan, and a bit earlier (!!) on Nobember 11 in this part of the world, on 3DS.



Looking a bit nicer and better in motion than what we saw in earlier screenshots.
This game developed by Griptonite Games will tie-in both the earlier 16-bits Shinobi featuring Joe Musashi and the PS2 games featuring Hotsuma with a plot revolving around Joe's father (and protagonist this time around).

It seems the game will be a return to a more arcade-ysh direction, content to unlock, lots of platforming, etc..


Meanwhile, Rockstar Games just released this trailer for the upcoming Max Payne 3:

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Max Payne 3 - GT Pop-Block: Debut Trailer, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but as an old school fan of the Max Payne series and a hardcore fan at that, this isn't looking much promising to me. (see my earlier Max Payne 3-related posts for more on that...)


But, yeah.. so tired of the "Open world sandbox games are kids favorite genre these day so let's make another one and stick a well known IP on it to boost the sales"...
At least, it looks nice graphically, but what more is there to this game besides that?

SEGA News! Various titles and Sonic

Here's some news concerning upcoming Sega games!
First up a little trailer for Renegade Ops. A top-down action game sheduled for September:

It's beind developed by new partner Avalanche Studios.
There will be a lot of various vehicles to play with, playable up to 4 players... Lots of missions to go through, etc...



Looks decent to me!
Reminds me of good ol' fashioned arcade games.


Here's some new screens of Griptonite Games take on the Shinobi franchise!

This one's sheduled for November 11 on Nintendo 3DS.
It looks...well honestly not that great. Though in motion, it seems it will be better.
It reminds me of how early PSP games looked like. Hope it's at least half as fun as those~


Speaking of 3DS, here's some new screens of CRUSH 3D.

This pseudo-Sequel/Remake is still being developed by PSP's Crush developers, Zoë Mode.
This great and fun 2D/3D hybrid platformer is aimed to a later February 17 release date.




And finally, Sonic Generations!
First, some pics of the classic "Mushroom Hill" stage from Sonic & Knuckles, reimagined for the 3DS portable version of Generations:

Woah! I'm getting all so nostalgic! :)
Looking great there^__^


And now a new trailer, letting us glimpse at some new locations amongst the already revealed levels.
Amongst them...could it be... Sonic Heroes' first stage Seaside Hill, Spagonia from Sonic Unleashed.. and more!





Two Sonics! Two Tails! Time travel!


Even love the music there :'3
Retro-ysh, in a sort of modern way~

Gamin' NEWS! Shinobi revealed

And the new Shinobi game's finally revealed!

Simply called "Shinobi", like a reboot, this new title by Griptonite Games is aiming for a September release window on the Nintendo 3DS.

The game seems to be pretty with past and recent episodes of the series.
Like it happens some times, you'll play as a brand new different ninja in this title.
This time, it isn't the classic Joe Musashi, nor the famous Hotsuma from the recent episodes. Instead it will start Joe's father, Jiro Musashi, chef of the Oboro clan.
The game will once again be an horizontal sidescroller, but in 3D. It kinda reminds me of Sonic Rivals visually. 

The graphics don't look that polished, at least for now. Kinda Nintendo 64-ysh. (heresy!! talking about a classic Sega franchise!!)

Here's some screenshots now:

Jiro looks like a cross between Hotsuma and Joe :P
And glad to see the gameplay variations back! (on the horse nonetheless!)

And the actual trailer now:



SHINOBI 3DS - Trailer d'annonce par SEGA

I'm a huge fan of the series! (hey! I should show you that, gals and guys, with a picture :'3)
I'm fearing a low-cost cheap new episode so far... but hey, last time they did that it either resulted in the well-loved Game Gear titles (yay!) and a Game Boy Advance abomination (nay!).

Wait and see~

Gamin' NEWS! Shinobi teaser

Leaked trailer for the upcoming 3DS Shinobi game!



...
And it doesn't really show anything :/

Oh, well...at least it showed a nice retrospective of the series :P

Gamin' NEWS! Hedgehog and ninjas

Seems like the upcoming Sonic Generations' just been confirmed to appear on Nintendo's 3-dimensional DS. (sounds classier that way, right?)
I guess it's gonna be another Sonic Rush alike title, kinda how Sonic Colours was on the DS as well.

And with the same cover, Nintendo Power also leaked the unannounced news that a new Shinobi will also be released on the same system. Awesome. I love this series^^
It seems it's being developed by Griptonite Games, a specialist of the handheld systems. Let's hope it's not a low-cost revival of the series but an actual brand new episode :P
