Sega NEWS! HOTD: Overkill ladies

House of the Dead: Overkill because more Grindhouse than it already was on this new Special Edition on the PS3:



What is that? A new story/campaign featuring these kickass ladies?
And the game's still embraces it's over-the-top crazy atmosphere.
Gotta love it!

Though I do not own a PS3 (and already own the Wii collector release from way back)

The Hardcore Gamer

This video's been circulating the web already.
Here's a guy who might be a way bit too much into arcade games :P



Well, rail shooters are indeed awesome experiences.
At least it's a Sega arcade game, amIrite? *self-high five - everybody stares me at work..*

Gamin' NEWS! Chainsaws, lollipops and nightmares

 
Here's a new round of video game trailers~
Today, Chainsaws, lollipops and nightmares!!
First, here's Grasshopper Manufacture's latest venture.



It's called Lollipop Chainsaw!
Random! Yep! That's why it might actually be fun.
It's another crazy idea from the mind of creative director Suda51.

mock up cover.

It looks like a big budget Oneechanbara. A B-movie-like gaming series of hack'n'slash games.
This game looks similar in spirit and gameplay (but will surely control better and smoother).
Though as fun as it looks it lacks kinda of Oneechanbara grindhouse/cheesy tone. Lollipop Chainsaw seems only to feature the same content/theme and not the same "tone" if that makes sense.

Here's a recent interview:



I have to admit, at first I wasn't much interested in it. But it could turn out great!


And at SEGA, here's another horror-themed game.
This one, the only Xbox "Kinect" game that have had me interested in this gimmick controller:



Very fun lil' trailer^^
Rise of Nightmares seems to be an unofficial new entry in the House of the Dead series. (though, why didn't Sega use that ip? it looks, sounds and plays the same as HoD! and it's a marketable name who'd even boost some sales in the long term I'm sure!)


And that's it for the day, for now~

SDCC - Various video game trailers and gameplay vids


Here's a bunch of new video game trailers from this year's San Diego Comic-Con!
Including some comic book games like the new Spider-man, X-men destiny.. And some other anticipated games like the new Kid Icarus, Street Fighter X Tekken and more~
Firt up, let's check out 2 new trailers for Capcom's Street Fighter X Tekken.


A Street Fighter specific trailer:



Nooo...they brought back Poison? Aaah...
I'd much rather have Mike Haggar or Hugo from Final Fight..

And here's the Tekken trailer:



I like seeing this crew get SF-ified. Hopefully we get a look a Namco's Tekken X Street Fighter soon!


Here's that new Kid Icarus in action who's leaving the classic sidescrolling gameplay back for a new Rail Shooter apporach not unlike Sega's Panzer Dragoon series.



Neat-o!


Now have a look at that uninspired Kinect Star Wars game...



...Which looks like an akward QTE game, using Kinect motion instead of buttons!
Man... the effect may be nice and all...but it lacks so much charm... Where's the good Star Wars games? Oh right... all the other ones beside Kinect Star Wars :P


And now back to comics with Beenox & Activision's Spider-Man: Edge of Time!
The game seems to be a darker Spider-man Shattered Dimensions..which is too bad, I loved its colored look and art style.
Here's a little interview sharing some tidbits:



Looking decent.
Though I'm not a fan of the art style. The gameplay might be decent but this 2099 is too clean and the Classic Spider-man looks a bit tad dark. Why didn't they keep Shattered Dimensions design?


And finally, here's X-Men Destiny in its full trailer glory:

 

Looking nice. Like a sort of X-men Legends where you are the hero, heh?
The new characters don't seem that inspired apart from the japanese gal though...


And that is all for this post I guess :P

E3 NEWS! lots MOAR trailers PartVI



(...)
And one more (the last?) E3 post for the day!While people have been liking or dissing the new Wii U, my fears have been confirmed...it's not retrocompatible with the Gamecube! (time to replug the GC...)
Now the question is, will we be able to transfer saves/profiles/etc from Wii to Wii U?

Back to the games.

I posted some stuff about Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City yesterday.
Here's the game itself running:



Looking much better than I thought it would!
Not sure I'll get it, but at least it seems decent enough.


And since we're on Resident Evil, here's once again the other one, Resident Evil: Revelations:



Looking much better than, dare I say, the actual Resident Evil 5!
Why couldn't Capcom do that on home systems at first...
And YAY! Hunk is back to be a badass (and a pain in the ass)!


Speaking of Capcom, did you guys check the Devil May Cry reboot?



Too much angst...can't...handle...the angst...GYAAH!!
At least the "special effects" look nice on the street. *positivie comment of the day*
We'll be able to go from "classic Dante in a SF4-ysh visual to Emo-Dante at will! 
Looks pretty bad and lackbuster... 
Aww... :/ 
 
 
Capcom made also available trailers for their upcoming fighting titles:

Launch trailer for the re-re-re-re-release of SF4, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. (kiddin'! Calm down you SF-nerds!)
And...


The Street Fighter X Tekken Trailer!
Alright!
Though, as much of a SF I am, kinda more waiting for Namco's take on this...
It's kinda funny how Capcom made this video about the SF guys kickin' the heck outta the Tekken guys :P


Let's see something else.


Anarchy Reigns (Max Anarchy in Japan) is being developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 by PlatinumGames and published by SEGA.
Can't wait for this "Mad World 2"!


Speaking of anarchy, here's the latest entry in this famous fun zombie series:


This Dead Rising 2 - Frank West edition is turning out quite nicely.
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record will be out later this year.


Here's something some people don't know about, have forgotten or may even not expect:


It's a new entry in the XCOM series (similar to the classic Fallout games) which has been reimagined as a 3rd person action western RPG (kinda like the modern recent Fallout entries). Shaping up quite nicely...and very scifi-ysh! Though I can imagine fans having quite a hard time with this evolution...


Here's SEGA latest rail shooter with zombies and monsters to shot down in a creepy setting...which is not an House of the Dead, almost but not really. Rise of Nightmares


It kinda surprise me they didn't want to cash-in the "House of the Dead" label and brand recognition and name this with a new ip...


After the fright, the bright!
Here's the new Kirby Wii, after checking out yesterday the DS one.



Fun, bright, colorful! A hit already!


And to continue on this theme, here's the latest trailer to Sonic Generations!



*let the haters hate!*
This looks amazing, gorgeous!
Woow!! *in his best Keanu Reeves voice once again*


Do you know the movie Top Gun?
Did you know that since the Nes days they've continued releasing new versions of the game, year after year??
Here's the latest one to date:



It's called Top Gun: Hard Lock and will be out early next year on the "next gen" systems.


Inversion by Saber Interactive. The guys who made the time travelling-gimmicky Time Shift a couple years back.



This time the gimmick's gravity!


And finally, let's close this topic with Q? Entertinment new Child of Eden.
Which is sort of a (spiritual) sequel to Sega's Rez on the Dreamcast:



A gorgeous innovative modern shooter. Playable with Kinect..or not! :)

Gamin' NEWS! Rodea: The Sky Soldier

Prope, Sonic creator Yuji Naka's studio, announced their brand new title!


This will be 3rd "real" console game since he left Sega to be independant in 2006.
He went for a more casual audience with the fun party game Let's Tap (Wii) and some other iPhones and Wiiware titles.
He played with sidescrolling action and arcad-ysh concepts with the amazing Ivy the Kiwi? (DS, Wii).

Now he's gonna make another arcade inspired title, a rail shooter quite inspired by Sin and Punishment I'm guessing from the first screens.
Rodea: The Sky Soldier.


Some even say this game seems to take a bit from NiGHTS (Saturn).
Though it has a distinctive anime orientation the Saturn classic didn't had.

Now, enough talk, time for some pics:
 
 


Prope's objective is to make games that appeals to kids and adults at the same time and to explore both 3D and 2D game mechanics.
The on-rail shooter is a nice idea for their first real "big" game.

Here's the official trailer:



It will be out later this year on both the Wii and Nintendo's DS in 3D! (ah!)

Also, expect more from Prope!
Yuji Naka will be revealing his first game for PS3/360 at some later point
