Meet The Voice Actors In The Latest ‘Danganronpa V3’ Trailer

by Josh Jackson

Is anyone else still reeling from the ending of Danganronpa 3? Just me? Okay…

If you couldn’t wait for your latest update for the upcoming sequel, you’re in luck! Spike Chunsoft has released a new trailer showing the new cast, their voice actors, and some of the new environments we’ll be exploring within the walls of the Gifted Inmates Academy.

Featuring the first female protagonist in the main series, a host of new Ultimates, such as the Ultimate Cosplayer and Ultimate Robot, and a whole new group of robotic bears to torment us, we can’t wait to see how this will all play out. One thing is for sure, the characters are looking very interesting so far, surely forcing us to get attached to them until they’re inevitably ripped away from us by the cold embrace of death. But surely all can’t be as simple as it seems. With a new Lie Mechanic being introduced into class trials, and the idea that the cast are all inmates, they can’t be good people, right? Could we have the first trial to have your character kill someone? And how will it tie in to the Hope’s Peak storyline, if at all? And why does the baby looking dude have such a deep voice?

The Japanese version will release on January 12, so it will be a long time before we’ll have those answers here in the West. If you wanted to catch up with the previous games, a PS4 bundle of the two games that I named my games of the year in 2014 will be released in early 2017.

Who’s your favorite so far, and how will you accept their inevitable death? Let us know below!

‘Metal Gear: Ground Zeroes’ Demoed At 25th Anniversary Event

by Shane O'Hare

Alongside the fantastic movie confirmation, the 25th anniversary event had a few tasty treats for gamers as well as film fans. A live demo for the new Metal Gear game (Called “Ground Zeroes”) was shown. No footage was released online but this image was leaked.

One amazing person was tweeting details as they happened during the demo. Mark MacDonald was there sharing everything juicy as it happened. Some of the important details were:

Demo of “Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes”, started w cutscene (all realtime), went into gameplay, open world, night, raining, base. AMAZING

Snake crawled @ avoiding searchlights, killed guard, rode jeep, called in heli for evac. Sounds like MG, but the scale & atmosphere… Wow.

So from the little bit we do know is that this could be an open world style game with weather playing a big portion in the stealth. 4Gamer.net was able to confirm some of the voice actors from previous Metal Gear games. Specifically the Japanese actor for Miller from Peacewalker.

No other news yet, but hopefully PAX will shed more light on this new game.
