 Kadokawa Games and Grasshopper announced Killer is Dead for PS3 and Xbox 360, which is an assassination adventure game, but it is not a sequel to Killer 7, the game will have original story and characters, and the keywords are Moon and Earth, there will be sword skills like in No More Heroes, plus a lot of ladies.

Ubisoft announced that Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be coming to PC on June 12, three weeks later than the Xbox 360 and PS3 version on May 22. The PC version require Internet connection to register and activate the product.

GamesIndustry reported that a number of anonymous developers said that Wii U does not have the graphical horsepower to compete with current generation console Xbox 360 and PS3, despite being able to output video in HD format. One reason is that Wii U doesn't have as many shaders, it is not as capable, overall it can't quite keep up to the same level as PS3 or 360. Another concern is that only one tablet controller can be active and it must be within certain distance to the console, which means multiple players on the same console must use non-tablet controller and leading to different experience. Another developer suggests that PS3 and PS Vita can do what the Wii U and tablet controller can do already.

RUMOR: Nintendo has tentatively set the launch date of Wii U on November 18 in North America and November 25 in Japan, according to a memo from Japanese retailer Media Land.

RUMOR: VG247 reported that the next PlayStation will launch ahead of the next Xbox console sometimes in 2013; and Sony and its favoured partners are already working on software for the console. Another speculation suggests that PS4 will use PS Vita as its tablet style input controller, and for development, it will adopt DirectX instead of custom API, and Sony will provide development environment similar to PC and Xbox 360.

RUMOR: Kotaku reported that Sony's next console is codenamed Orbis, and it will launch in the holidays of 2013, the machine will have no backward compatibility to PS3, it will lock games to single PSN account, and have some sort of anti-used-game measure. A used game will be restricted to limited trial mode or some form of content restriction. The machine will adopt AMD x64 CPU and Southern Islands GPU instead of Cell processors, and it can display resolution of 4096x2160 and 3D at 1080p.

Konami producer David Cox posted in his Twitter account that he is working on a successor of Castlevania: Lord of Shadow.


Bandai Namco announced the latest anime series Saint Seiya Omega will be getting a game treatment. The latest Saint Seiya game was released on PS3 in 2011.


Sega announced its arcade shooters The House of the Dead 3 & 4 will be coming to Japanese PSN on April 19, for 1000 yen each, both games will support HD visual, online ranking and PlayStation Move.

cool, maybe Kratos will actually not be Dispicable in this one then.

Hopefully he'll use the spear and shield weaponset he had in Ghost of sparta as his main weapon, that'd be cool.

In news today

Atlus announced that the home version of Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena [Persona 4 Arena] for PS3 and Xbox 360 will have a new story mode. You begin the story mode with four playable characters, additional characters can be unlocked as the story progresses. *in my angry nerd voice*. "TAKE F*CKIN NOTES CAPCOM!..UNLOCK EXTRA CHARACTERS THROUGH STORY PROGESS!!"

[Moon Girard]

That's talking about unlocking the characters story not them being playable i doubt the game would give you four characters and make you unlock the rest it would be terrible for tourneys or people who don't care for story mode.

Well, the Persona games are almost exclusively ABOUT story mode, so it works out.

http://www.siliconera.com/2012/04/23/batman-arkham-citys-final-chapter-is-harley-quinns-revenge/

Rocksteady Studios have just announced the Game of the Year Edition of the award winning Batman: Arkham City. Includes Catwoman DLC, Nightwing, Robin, Arkham City Skin pack, Challenge Pack, Batman: Year One Movie, and finally, introducing the FINAL Chapter; Harley Quinn's Revenge Expansion Pack.

The expanded version of the award-winning blockbuster videogame developed by Rocksteady Studios is scheduled for release in North America starting May 29, and in Europe, Australia and other global territories in September, for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation3 computer entertainment system.

WTF at that boxart.

The Harley Quinn's Revenge mission sends players back into Arkham City to face their final challenge as they interchange between playing as both Batman and Robin. Gamers must utilize each of the characters' unique combat and investigative skills to uncover Harley's vengeful plan and shut the gates on the urban mega-prison forever. In addition to experiencing a new storyline, fans can explore new environments and face-off against Harley's all new gang of thugs.

The final chapter in Batman: Arkham City that adds more than two hours of original gameplay to the critically-acclaimed interactive title.

Date Amendment: Harley Quinn's Revenge will be available individually May 29th (PSN) and May 30th (XBL). Apologies for the confusion!

See, now I might consider picking this game up. I had a feeling that if I waited long enough, I'd get the WHOLE game for $60 bucks.
