The much rumored Victorian era action horror title The Ripper from EA’s Visceral Games studio is apparently now back in production after being canned last year. Going by the stylish concept art from the previously canceled PSN/ XBLA version the title was shaping up to be an interesting take on the infamous Jack the Ripper mythos. Word is the title is now back on track but this time as a full retail product. Here’s hoping so, as we need more Victorian horror in gaming.
Jet Set Radio is coming to XBLA/PSN and it feels so good. More info coming soon. For now, the wait begins for the eventual (please god) Panzer Dragoon and Nights into Dreams ports.
Microsoft has been quiet. I’d say too quiet, about what’s coming to their platform in 2012. Granted there’s always surprises come E3 time, as Microsoft loves to announce tons of new stuff at the expo. But what’s coming this Summer? Ah, well that’s what the Xbox 360 Spring Showcase is for.
Capcom has released a launch trailer for the over the top Dragon Ball Z like Asura’s Wrath. The game looks insane as hell and I love it for it. Asura’s Wrath releases next month on PS3 and Xbox 360.
BioWare has released the full extended version of that sweet looking CG Mass Effect 3 trailer the other night. Now the wait begins for the bitching launch trailer.
The Witcher 2 gets teased in this new teaser for The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition on Xbox 360. Gamers aren’t getting any sort of break early this year with big games each month. Damn my wallet!
Some new images of Resident Evil 6 courtesy of the latest Famitsu. Chris sure looks a bit different now. Less pumped and a little bit older but still ready to kick some zombie ass. The next-gen leap has been kind to Leon as well, especially that sexy jacket. Resident Evil 6 ships this November on Xbox 360 and PS3.
Capcom has updated Capcom-Unity with their first in a series of blogs detailing the many systems of the upcoming action RPG Dragon’s Dogma. In the first of what I hope are many blogs, they explain the how exactly the Pawn AI system works. It all sounds very Tamagotchi like, where your Pawn will actually grow with you. And if you need to, you have a little sit-down with him or her to let them know where they’d like to improve. It all sounds very meta. Check out the full blog over at Capcom-Unity and for more Dragon’s Dogma info on their official Facebook.
Those interested in Capcom’s upcoming open world action RPG, who also happen to be fans of the legendary anime and manga Berserk are about to get giddy. Capcom has confirmed that both US and EU will be receiving on disk these sweet looking Berserk armor sets. Might I add, Griffith has never looked better. Dragon’s Dogma releases this coming May on PS3 and Xbox 360.
Check out the final Halo 4 design for Master Chief
Last week we posted the prototype design for Master Chief in Halo 4. Now, thanks to 343’s weekly update they’ve revealed the first proper look at the near final design for the Chief. I like it! He looks much more agile, which hopefully means he’ll be able to sprint this time. it still has a little bit of a mecha/ Dead Space armor vibe but that’s a good thing. It’s a nice way for 343 to make the Chief their own and go forward with a new vision for Halo. 343 has stated there may be a few more minor tweaks to the armor but for the most part this it.
