DmC Devil May Cry™ (PS3)

junshen — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:04:06 +0800

QUOTE

The next instalment of the multi-million selling Devil May Cry™ franchise, DmCsees Capcom collaborating with UK based Ninja Theory to explore new frontiers for the series. DmCis in development for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation®3. From its debut on PlayStation 2 in 2001, the Devil May Cry series has been synonymous with stylish action, rewarding combat and a brash, smart-talking protagonist. This ‘Devil May Cry DNA’ remains but is now injected with a dark and brutal gameplay that promises to redefine the franchise. Set against a contemporary backdrop, DmC will depict a duplicitous world where nothing is ever as it seems and the line between good and evil is constantly blurred. Spurred into action by the promises of a trusted relation, Dante bursts into this world intent on revenge at any cost. DmCwill retain the series’ signature mix of sword and gunplay but add additional weapons, all new powers and a revitalised gameplay system as players encounter the game’s devilish mix of enemies and navigate the rich, interactive environment. A true collaboration, DmCsees the team at Ninja Theory joined by key staff from Capcom’s R&D division. Creative direction for the title will be undertaken by Ninja Theory’s Tameen Antionades and overseen by Hedeaki Itsuno, who has worked on all previous titles in the series. DmC is being co-produced by Capcom’s Japanese and North American development operations.

QUOTE

The rumor was true: Heavenly Sword developer Ninja Theory is working on the next installment in the Devil May Cry series. The game is being developed by Capcom USA in conjunction with Ninja Theory in the UK.

Capcom showed off a trailer that looked pretty stunning (we'll have the video on the site shortly). It showed a character named Dante -- but he looks too young to be the Danta we know. It must be a prequel or Dante's son or something like that.

Stay tuned to this story for more details shortly.

ASURA'S WRATH (PS3)

junshen — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:58:19 +0800

QUOTE

A brand new title scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PlayStation®3, ASURA’S WRATHsees Capcom join forces with Japanese developer CyberConnect2. Inspired by Asian mythology and fused with science fiction, ASURA’S WRATH will redefine the action genre by delivering unprecedented levels of dynamism, drama and interaction. Once a revered deity, Asura was betrayed by his fellow gods and stripped of all his powers. Consumed by anger at the injustice he has suffered and swearing vengeance, Asura discovers he can use this fury to his advantage and turn it against his enemies. By channelling his inner rage, Asura is now able to unleash devastating attacks and wreak havoc as he battles against the deities who have wronged him and their earthly forces. Inspired by episodic dramas, ASURA’S WRATHwill be split into distinct sections with gameplay and narrative unfolding as one and building to a final climatic conclusion.

Shadows of the DAMNED (PS3)

QUOTE

The EA press conference where Goichi "Suda51" Suda and Shinji Mikami are announcing their new project is starting in just a bit, but courtesy of Famitsu magazine, we already know the name of the game.

Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Shadow of the DAMNED (their capitalization). It's coming out at some unspecified time from EA, and it's being made for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Here's what we know about it so far: it stars a "demon killer" who rides a motorcycle; he's fighting denizens of the underworld; and the media printed in Famitsu depicts a Resident Evil 4-style perspective as the hero fires away at enemies. Also, it's due out summer 2011.

Stick around for a bit, and we'll probably have more to say about this game! Maybe! Until then, though, check out what Mikami's revealed about the game so far in 1UP's exclusive developer profile posted today.

REDWOOD CITY -- Electronic Arts has just announced that it is teaming with Suda 51 (No More Heroes) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil) to create a brand new game in partnership with Suda's Grasshopper Manufacture development house.

The unnamed title will be produced by Mikami and directed by Suda, who describes it as a mysterious, unique horror action game for PS3, 360, Wii, and PC.

"We are very honored and think this is a great opportunity for us," said Suda.

"This game is dark, scary, and exciting. Stay tuned," Mikami said.

I'll be interviewing both men later today.

As of right now, there is no official announcement on the platforms that Vanquish will hit. I know some outlets are running with 360/PS3 as the platforms, but the the official trailer tag doesn't mention any platforms. The trailer doesn't seem to contain any gameplay, but it does seem like something that's going to appear on 360/PS3. Until we have a 100% confirmation of that, we'll keep tabs on the title.

Developer : MercurySteam, Kojima Productions (adviser)
Publisher : Konami
Genre : Action-adventure game

Gameplay

Combat
Lords of Shadow is a third person action adventure title, where the player controls the main character Gabriel Belmont.[12][13][9] The combat will utilize a retractable pyrokinetic chain whip called the Combat Cross. The player can utilize up to 40 unlockable combos with it.[12] The commands consist of direct attacks for dealing direct damage to enemies, and weak area attacks when surrounded by them. It is also capable of interactions with secondary weapons, such as knives, holy water and other items which can be upgraded.[12] In addition to this, the Combat Cross's melee skills can be combined with the Light and Shadow magic system, which are spells aimed at defense and aggression, respectively.[12][14] The whip is upgradeable[14] and can also be used as a defensive aid in order to guard against an opponent's attack.[12]

Platforming and puzzles
Similar to the original Castlevania titles, platforming and puzzles are a key component and are featured in 50 levels.[9][12] The player can control Gabriel to jump most distances, dash or hold his balance above fatal pits.[12] The Combat Cross is not only used for combat, but also for exploration purposes like scaling walls, rappelling and swinging across gaps.[15] Some sequences of the game will require the player to solve physical puzzles or brain teasers. Alternatively, moving certain objects can set off chain reactions and open the way to another area. Activating switches can also assist against traps.[12] The player will be able to explore the levels in order to find hidden items, which can increase health or abilities.[16][12]

Enemies
The developers attempted to reach out to new audiences by distancing Lords of Shadow from previous Castlevania games, but have kept some elements intact as to not alienate current fans.[17] For example, vampires and werewolves are recurring enemies in the game, but other existing enemies include trolls, giant spiders and goblin-like creatures. The in-game enemies can be defeated for experience points, which can be used to purchase combos or to augment the player's abilities further.[16] Lords of Shadow will have large scale, fully interactive bosses reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus, which are special encounters where the player must use new-found abilities and platforming to defeat them. The Combat Cross can be used to grapple onto their bodies and navigate them, and break the runes that animate the titan.[17][12] When the player defeats them, they will receive items known as relics, which can assist them with other challenges in the game.[16][/quote]

AGENT (PS3)

junshen — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 04:22:51 +0800

Sony introduces Rockstar's Agent as a PS3 exclusive

QUOTE

Sony has landed a big Rockstar exclusive -- they have just announced that the Grand Theft Auto developer is bringing a new IP called Agent to the PS3. Details are still as shrouded in secrecy like so many spies, but we're told the game "will take the player across the globe" to participate in various spy-related activities.

Sony says they expect Agent to have the same effect on their platform as the original GTA3 exclusive did with the PS2, but we'll have to see. They didn't show gameplay or even a cinematic at the press conference, so even though the prospect of a Rockstar-developed PS3 exclusive sounds enticing, we'll probably have to wait quite a while for more.

[addedon]June 4, 2009, 2:27 am[/addedon]Agent will be “the ultimate action game,” says Houser

QUOTE

Rockstar founder Sam Houser has said that he is more than excited by PS3 exclusive Agent, announced at Sony’s E3 press conference last night, and he feels it will be the “ultimate action game.”

“We have always enjoyed making action games, and with Agent we are making what we believe will be the ultimate action game,” said Houser.

“Agent is a game we have wanted to make for a long time. The team in Edinburgh is doing an amazing job combining intense action, atmosphere and story in a great period setting to create something that feels quite unique.

“We cannot wait for people to experience this game.”

Full press release after the break.
