There’s going to be a lot of angry PSP owners, I’ll say that much. Watching the trailer below would have you believe that only a portable handheld like the PSP can produce such vivid graphics and detail. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, people, but, apparently, the Nintendo DS is capable of crunching out sharp details as well. And it’s doing it without remorse. Below is the TGS trailer for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (How the hell do you pronounce this thing?), developed by Square Enix, exclusively for the Nintendo DS. If you’re an avid Kingdom Hearts fan, or into female-looking dudes, please take a look.
As our Loot Ninja Podcast states every time we sign off, “always fade out in a montage!” What better way to summarize all of the beautiful booth babes at the Tokyo Game Show than a montage? Watch as the Japanese remind us of the once alive booth babe that is almost non-existent in North America. When will E3 be restored to its full glory? When will we ever be privileged enough to see beautiful women dress up as video game characters again? One can only hope and dream.
So we first spotted a creepy Sack Boy at TGS and now we bring you a scary Sonic? Looks like a werewolf Sonic costume popped up at TGS and started walking around the show, who knew that Sonic was a werewolf? Is TGS not allowed to have cute and cuddly costumes anymore? Did we miss a memo that went out again?
Now that all the smoke has cleared, it’s time to find out what Halo 3: Recon is really about. Here are direct words taken from Luke Smith and Brian Jerrard of Bungie on some of the more broader and pertinent details of the upcoming game.
“It will be a standalone disc sold in stores in boxes next Fall. It’s also going to include some multiplayer maps.”
“It is a first-person shooter still … It’s not a squad-based shooter.”
“As an ODST, compared to playing as in invulnerable Spartan, you are going to have to sort of pick and choose your encounters a little bit differently.”
“It is going to very much feel like Halo. Full feature parity.”
The next question is, how much will this cost? Probably around $40 is my guess. Full price would be a complete rip off and $20 would be unreasonable considering the time it takes to develop this. More news is coming as soon as we get it.
The Prince is back and gets reinvented for the next gen. Sands of Time was an amazing game, but the series went downhill after the debacle of PoP2. Now the game looks to be a must have and a possible platformer that we could see sequels too for years to come. One of the coolest trailers I have seen in a long time.
TGS2008 is by far the most important gaming show in Asia and since E3 has become rife with disappointment, maybe the most important in the industry. Microsoft is making their keynote tomorrow called, A Canvas for the World, which will have to do with the inevitable update coming to Xbox Live Marketplace. Bungie has confirmed that they will also be making an announcement. Bungie has been silent until their recent “Keep it Clean” trailer that has everyone anticipating exactly what it means. No word on what the announcement will be, but here is hoping that its for a new game and that is actually happens.
With arguably the biggest title ever being released next week, we bring you a bunch of gameplay videos from show floor of TGS. Check it out and drool as you wish for next week to get here faster.
This looks like it could surpass Warhawk as the ultimate online experience on the PS3. Too bad it doesn’t come as part of Metal Gear Solid 4. Hopefully it doesn’t cost $60 just for the online component.
Maybe, just maybe, we’ll find out what the gameplay for Afrika is one day. If it’s just shooting pictures of animals on a safari, I’m not sure it’s going to hold up. It sure looks pretty though.
We're like Spaceballs... we're making Loot Ninja everything. Coming soon we'll have hats, shirts, hoodies, possibly banana hammocks if one Editor has his way...
Check out the shirt prototypes here and the hats here
