Series creator Daisuke Ishiwatari has revealed that Arc System Works are looking at bringing a new entry in the Guilty Gear series to the PS3 and Xbox 360. “What we can say about Guilty Gear is that it is not dead yet”, Arc System’s Tomo Ohno told NowGamer. “It has not ended. The producer/creator of…
The Cruden Hexatech simulator is billed as the ultimate driving sim. Which it had want to be, since it costs $191,000. Suspended off the ground by hydraulic rods, the Hexatech can be customised with the car body type of your choice, comes with either three 42″ screens or two “wrap-around” ones, and costs…yeah, $191,000. Regardless…
This is some Space Channel 5 cosplay from Comiket, and for once, Ulala isn’t the centre of attention. No, the focus of this piece is the amazing Space Michael, which following on from months of teary-eyed celebrities and dirty cash-in movies is probably the sweetest tribute to the fallen pop idol as we’ve seen. ［コミケ77］ゲームキャラのコスプレギャラリー＜その1＞…
For a game set underwater, there wasn’t much water in BioShock. With Rapture now a little worse for wear, its sequel is looking to make amends.
OnLive, an ambitious service which plans to allow gamers to stream games over the internet to their TV – removing the need for a console – has its doubters. Steve Perlman, boss of OnLive, is not one of them. Here he is giving a 48-minute presentation on the service, covering almost every single aspect of…
It may not have the lasting historical significance of “1066 and all that”, but that doesn’t stop Elsa’s tapestry of Mario’s iconic 1-1 level from being just as impressive as anything the Normans could come up with. Currently a work in progress, the tapestry will come in at an incredible 620x40cm (or 250×15 inches) when…
Champagne, pointy hats and Auld Lang Syne are for suckers. You want to kick off the new year in style, you do it by buying a brand new game for the NES. This is Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril, by Sivak Games. It’s a real, proper game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It even comes…
Having been in development for over three years – and having missed its original release window by a whole twelve months – a promising MechWarrior mod for Crysis has finally been released. It’s called MechWarrior: Living Legends, and is the work of some modders by the name of Wandering Samurai. While ready for download and…
In a Q&A session held earlier this week, president Haruhiro Tsujimoto became the second high profile Capcom employee this month to get all negative when it comes to the company collaborating with Western studios. Answering a question on Capcom’s “alliances” with overseas developers, Tsujimoto echoes comments made a few weeks back by Resident Evil producer…
China Central Television last week broadcast a show called “Confession of a Murderer: Focus on Pornography and Violence in Online Games”. You know where this is going. CCTV is China’s state news channel, and the program (the second part in a series), which visited a juvenile prison to speak with those apparently influenced by the…
Uncharted 2‘s co-op play seemed to go down well with players, so it’s only natural to see developers Naughty Dog talking about adding even more to the game via downloadable content. Speaking with G4, Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells has said “So for future DLC, could we add more co-op? Probably more in the arena-style type…
If you’re stuck with spare time on your hands this holiday week, you should sit down with this excellent interview with Arnie Katz, one of the co-founders of the world’s very first video game magazine. That magazine was Electronic Games, a title many of our older (American) readers will no doubt be familiar with. Starting…
Sensing that it is Christmas, and that Christmas is the time for giving, Nintendo’s weekly download update is this week suitably festive. Not only do American Wii owners get the pleasant surprise of Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth on WiiWare and The Oregon Trail on DSiWare, but PilotWings – the original, Super Nintendo great – is…
As we’ve covered, the Soviet Union didn’t just have big tanks and long lines for potatoes. It also had video games. But those games didn’t just sell themselves! Like everything else, they needed to be advertised. In addition to actual arcade cabinets, the Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines also plays home to a collection of…
The official World of Warcraft magazine, which has been coming for what feels like years now, still isn’t out. That’s the bad news. Good news? The mag’s site finally gives us a good look at the publication. Each 148-page issue is funded solely through subscriptions (and, presumably, Blizzard), so there’ll be no ads. Just articles…
Sales figures can be an impressive thing, but so too can the figures showing how many times a game has been pirated. OK, maybe not “impressive”. “Disappointing” might be a more suitable term. Actually, looking at the sheer scale of numbers on display here, change that to “very disappointing”. TorrentFreak have hit up all the…
This is supposedly video of somebody playing Geometry Wars on Project Natal. Emphasis on the supposedly, in case you missed the italics first time around. A Destructoid reader reckons this was shot at a “Christmas Party”, though that’s where the information dries up. On the “could be” side of things, there’s lag at several points,…
Eiji Aonuma, master of all things Zelda at Nintendo, was a big fan of Link’s Crossbow Training. So big, in fact, he wanted to make a sequel to the Wii Zapper launch title. “To tell you the truth, I actually wanted to create Link’s Crossbow Training 2,” he told gamesTM in an interview. “I thought…
