Persona 2: Innocent Sin finally coming to America on PSP this fall

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

The Persona series has built a strong cult following in the West over the last several years, and its fans will finally get a chance to play the one chapter that never made it to the United States. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin will be releasing on the PSP in North America this coming fall. Over 12 years in the making, Innocent Sin aims to have all the features of a great PSP remake – enhanced visuals, 16:9 widescreen, new interface, original sidequests, and an optional remastered soundtrack. No word yet on the typically awesome special editions Atlus is famous for, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Persona 2 is credited as where the franchise found its own identity and distinguished itself from its parent meta series. Although the second part of the installment, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, was quickly localized after its Japanese release, this first chapter unfortunately never made it.

Hell freezes: Duke Nukem Forever has actually gone gold

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

No more delays, Duke Nukem Forever is finally being printed on discs and making its way to retailers for its June 14 launch date on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The 14-year development history of the game itself across four development studios has been an odyssey in itself, and this no doubt marks a monumental day for gaming. Original Creative Director at 3D Realms, George Broussard, had these inspiring words to share:

Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary. It’s an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it’s finally time to ‘Come Get Some’. Come be a part of gaming history.

An in-depth look at the acting performances of Uncharted 3

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Naughty Dog has made gaming history with the quality of the acting performances in the Uncharted series, but it wasn’t an easy road. The PlayStation Blog has a new feature taking a behind-the-scenes look at how Uncharted 3‘s story sequences are made and its collaborative nature. The piece details how the team began with outdated technology for the first game, but eventually moved up to the cutting edge resources they’re utilizing now. It’s an informative read with many interesting tidbits, from the fact that the heroes’ actors also perform for the grunts, and Nolan North calls the emerging standard for video game acting “the true actor experience.”

Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will land on PlayStation 3 on November 1.
