Goichi Suda is a busy man these days, working on titles like Lollipop Chainsaw and Black Knight Sword, but while the ideas mostly come from him, his role with each game varies depending on the project. At the Tokyo Game Show, Suda explained his many different roles at the studio.
The Tokyo Game Show has wrapped up the show and closed its doors, but not before welcoming in a record number of visitors to the event. In fact, this four day game show hosted 222,668 visitors in a time frame from Thursday to Sunday, according to organizer CESA.
Following the news today that Level-5 would be bringing Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joou over to North America, we now have found a lot of off-screen footage of the game from this year’s Tokyo Game Show. In the footage, we get a good look at the world map, combat, towns, shops, and just how beautiful all the details of this game are.
Namco Bandai has confirmed that Katamari Damacy – which is a working title – will be releasing for the PlayStation Vita. Everyone’s favorite rolling ball of junk will use both the front touch screen and the rear touch pad of the PS Vita, offering a whole new kind of Katamari experience to gamers on the go.
Square Enix has released the debut trailers for their two newly announced PlayStation Vita games, Lord of Apocalypse and Army Corps of Hell. The Tokyo Game Show is currently underway and, so far, the PlayStation Vita is receiving a lot of support from a large group of developers, and these two games look to take that support even further.
During the TGS Sony Presser, Square Enix revealed that Final Fantasy X will be remade in HD, but sadly failed to announce a remake of Final Fantasy VII. This sure broke the hearts of many, while at the same time making a lot of gamers out there happy, including me, who loved everything about FFX – even Wakka.
With Sony’s Tokyo Game Shower Presser taking place minutes from now, details are streaming in from the latest issue of Famitsu, revealing a whole bunch of upcoming PlayStation Vita games, from old favorites like Ninja Gaiden Sigma to new titles such as Armies of Hell.
Game shows are not just about exciting new titles, but also are home to news about games we already know about and have been looking forward to. This year more than ever, Sony has both of these things slanted in its favor heading into the Tokyo Game Show.
There will be a lot of games showcased at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, but perhaps one of the most anticipated games will be absent from the show, as Team ICO’s long-awaited The Last Guardian, will not be at the show. Sony Computer Entertainment America associate product marketing manager Brian Dunn confirmed the game’s absence on the PS Blog.
Developers and publishers really brought their A-game to PAX this year, with plenty of great booths and a ton of really good games, but now it is time for the hard part of picking the three best games at PAX this past weekend. After some extensive research and plenty of mathematical formulas, I have come up with our best three titles of PAX 2011, so read on below to find out which games made the cut.
Binary Domain has been a game on my radar ever since its announcement trailer, so at PAX this year I headed over to the Sega booth and got hands-on time with the upcoming robot shooter. The game takes place in 2080 Tokyo, where robots are everywhere and a group of them are now rebelling, causing all kinds of havoc between the top and bottom sections of Tokyo. Read More »
Developer DrinkBoxStudios is hard at work on Mutant Blobs Attack, the group’s second game involving a blob and the first blob-related game that I know of for the PlayStation Vita. I stopped by the developer’s PAX booth and got lead into a back cargo room to check it out.
When Warner Bros. first announced Gotham City Impostors, it created a buzz of negative energy from both media and gamers alike. In fact, I happened to be one of those who voiced displeasure with the move, because who really wants to see a Batman themed FPS game? Nonetheless, we managed to get our hands on the title at PAX and it quickly changed our take on this goofy multiplayer shooter.
Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture are quickly becoming known for creating games with unique visual and comic styles, such as Shadows of the Damned and No More Heroes. The latest game to follow in that vein is Lollipop Chainsaw, and we got some hands on with the game at the Warner Bros. PAX booth.
One of the heavy hitters at PAX this year was Battlefield 3, which will be competing with Activision’s Modern Warfare 3 for the FPS crown later this year. EA spared no expense in flying myself and 31 other journalists to Seattle this past weekend for a Battlefield 3 Community Event, where we got plenty of hands on with the game and the hotel’s open bar, but that’s another story for another day.
