‘Digimon World: Next Order’ Confirmed Western Release!

by Pandageddonnn

A new Digimon game is confirmed for western release early 2017! Bandai Namco announced at their Tokyo Game Show pre-event that Digimon World: Next Order is making its way to the Playstation 4!

This is exciting news not just for fans of Digimon, but also for those familiar with the original Digmon World game released for the Playstation in 1999. While it is unknown whether or not this game is a sequel or not, news of this game is certainly exciting!

Digimon World: Next Order was originally released as a PS Vita game in Japan in March 2016. With the rising popularity of Digimon with the recent release Digimon Adventures Tri and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, Bandai has decided to bring Next Order exclusively to the Americas.

The PS4 edition will include updated graphics, Japanese and English voice-overs, as well as new missions. It will be available on the Playsation store for digital download.

Check out the trailer here:

Unfortunately Next Order will not be available for the Vita in the Americas.

The ‘Danganronpa 3’ Reveal Trailer Teases Updated Gameplay, A New Academy And The Same Old Monokuma

by Josh Jackson

During Sony’s press conference at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Spike Chunsoft officially revealed Danganrona 3, complete with its first trailer.

Originally said to have been in the works at last year’s TGS, this reveal trailer comes fresh off the heels of the latest game, Ultra Despair Girls, releasing in the West, so everyone should be on the same page when it comes to the story! Teasing a brand new academy, and a type of testimony called “skimmish,” where multiple classmates give their sides of the story at the same time, it’ll be even harder to cut through their words to find the truth. With Monokuma, Monomi, Shirokuma and Kurokuma all making appearances in the trailer, could they all be in the main game as well? Or were they simply stand ins for the yet to be revealed cast? All I know is that I hope that line about Togami being dead was only an example and not a spoiler.

Watch it below and tell us what kind of despair you hope the third main game in this popular text adventure will bring. Danganronpa 3 will release on the PS Vita, as well as making its console debut on the PS4, on a yet to be determined release date.

‘Ace Attorney 6’ Shows Off A New Type Of Courtroom In Its Latest Trailer

by Josh Jackson

With Ace Attorney 6 recently confirmed for an international release, it wouldn’t be long until we learned more about Phoenix Wright’s latest escapades. What better time to show your cards than this year’s Tokyo Game Show? At the event, Capcom released their first full trailer for the game, giving us a hint at what the turnabout lawyer has in store for his sixth outing.

Taking place in the kingdom of Kurain, this far off country uses a legal system known as “Futile Trials”. As the name suggests, all defendants are found guilty in this land that relies on mysticism over logic, especially with their ability to view the final moments of the victim’s life to pinpoint the culprit. Thus, this is a system with no defense attorney’s, but what happens when an ace attorney finds himself behind their walls?

The Ace Attorney 6 trailer implies that the next major game play addition will be the ability to examine the victim’s final moments, doing its best, mystic impression of Minority Report. As expected, Phoenix will find contradictions in these scenes, ultimately proving his client’s innocence as only an ace attorney can.

But we can’t discuss the trailer without pointing out its peculiarities. Like where are Apollo and Athena? Let’s hope Phoenix isn’t riding solo here, since I would love to see them develop more, especially after how well the fifth game handled them. And wait… Did they say Kurain!? Based on the theme of the trailer and the shape of the 6 in the title looking like a magatama, it seems like we’re heading back to the spirit channeling days of the original trilogy. If that’s the case, where’s Maya? Isn’t she the Master? What about Pearl? If nothing else, we can almost guarantee that we’ll be seeing the Fey girls again, but how has the Kingdom of Kurain drifted so far from the Kurain Villiage that we saw in the past? Are they even directly related outside of name? Agh, the questions!

We’ll find out when Ace Attorney 6 releases worldwide in 2016. What our your theories? Share them below!

‘King Of Fighters XIV’ Is Finally Announced! Headed Exclusively To PS4!

by Josh Jackson

Once upon a time, the King Of Fighters series was an annual affair. In more recent years however, the SNK/Playmore team took their time to revamp the game play and give the fighter a visual facelift, creating some of the most gorgeous 2D models we had seen at that point. Then… Nothing. Five years after KOF XIII hit arcades, we haven’t heard anything about the return of the long running franchise, which was odd considering the recent resurgence of 2D fighting games. At Tokyo Game Show however, we learned that we won’t have to wait much longer, because King Of Fighter XIV is on its way after the longest release gap in franchise history.

Headed to the PS4 in 2016, the reveal trailer showed off longtime rivals, Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami, battling it out yet again. Except this time, their models are in full 3D, scrapping those incredible sprites that we were introduced to just a few games ago. Outside of this reveal, details are slim, but we’ll be excited to learn more as its release date draws closer.

Personally, I’m REALLY disappointed to see the 2D sprites go, not just because of nostalgia, but because these new, 3D models look kind of bad. I’m getting the vibe of one of those KOF Maximum Impact titles from it, which isn’t a good thing. When games like Guilty Gear Xrd can blend 2D and 3D so seamlessly, or when titles like Mortal Kombat X and Street Fighter IV prove that 3D models in a 2D space can come off as gorgeous, this trailer makes it look a little cheap. Still, it’s a long ways away, and it can still surprise us. Plus, as long as the game play is solid, (and when hasn’t it been?), then all will be forgiven.

Who are you hoping to see make their return? And what type of costume will Athena wear this time around? Share your thoughts below!

 

‘Gravity Rush Remastered’ and ‘Gravity Rush 2’ Confirmed For PS4!

by Josh Jackson

Rumors have been swirling for months about a possible PS4 remaster of Gravity Rush, the Vita exclusive action title that gave players the power to control gravity to manipulate its heroine and her surroundings. In addition, a sequel was announced at Tokyo Game Show 2014, but no further details were discussed, including which platform it would end up on. Both questions were addressed in one fell swoop at Tokyo Game Show 2015, where both Gravity Rush Remastered and Gravity Rush 2 were revealed as PS4 exclusives!

The remastered version of the first game is set for an early 2016 release, with its sequel arriving later in the year. With Gravity Rush being one of my absolute favorite titles in years, I’m thrilled that the original will get the due it deserves by being exposed to a much bigger audience. At the same time, I’m a little surprised that the second game isn’t coming to Vita as well, (although I probably shouldn’t be.) From the trailer, it doesn’t seem like it’s too technologically advanced to be on Sony’s handheld, (although the city coming alive at the end looks amazing,) so it’s pointing more to the idea that Sony just doesn’t see any value in releasing the game on their portable console. If this isn’t proof that the company sees the Vita as dead, then I don’t know what is.

Regardless, between the team ups with her former rival, Raven, new, bigger enemies and the return of Kat and Dusty, there’s plenty of reason to be excited. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’ll get the chance with the remaster! What are your thoughts on Gravity Rush becoming a PS4 exclusive, (and the Vita’s death along with it?) Comment below and let us know!

 

 

 

 

PS3 Gets A Redesign!

by Derek Kraneveldt

TGS is upon us, and so are some cool announcements!

Rumored since early summer, and leaked shortly after that, Sony has now made the new PS3 official!

Sony’s latest will come in 250Gb and 500Gb flavors (no word yet on expandability, a huge plus to the current slim). The new unit is also 20% slimmer than the current slim, as well as 25% lighter (for all the times you carry it around).

Looks like this new model loses the lovely slot loading drive however, and falls back to a more dated tray system. Overall though, the system looks great, and is sure to ease new gamers in with the announced bundles.

The new PS3 will hit shelves on September 25th.

From the press release:

In order to maintain the superior gaming experiences that you expect from us here at PlayStation, we are always looking for ways to change and evolve with your gaming behavior. You might remember the smaller models that we launched for PlayStation 2 and PSP (PlayStation Portable), and we know that many of you love the opportunity to add these streamlined models to your home. Additionally, as developers continue to release deep and rich digital gaming content, providing an option for larger HDD is essential, especially for games with large DLC packs, and full game downloads, as well as personal entertainment content. The biggest and best games live on PS3 this holiday season, and the new PS3 is the perfect way to play.

We are also excited to announce that the launch of this new PS3 model will include incredible additional value. The 250GB PS3 will be available on September 25th for $269.99 (MSRP) as part of a limited edition bundle featuring UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception: Game of the Year Edition and a voucher for more than $30 worth of bonus digital content for the highly acclaimed digital title, DUST 514. This bundle offers more than $70 in total combined value.

What do you think of the new unit? Time to add a PS3 to your gaming array?
