ResidentEvil.net features trailer released as RE6 goes gold

Posted on August 23, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Resident Evil 6 has gone gold, and Capcom has released a trailer for the new ResidentEvil.net service that they showed at last week’s Gamescom. RE.net is a free online service that is aimed to extend the playability of the game through site unlockables, events online, stat tracking, and some kind of WWE-themed gold belt that you can get for winning matches. Check out the trailer above for full details.

Resident Evil 6 will be out on October 2 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Yesterday’s PlayStation Store update marked the final week of Sony’s PSN Play promotion. As promised, the publisher added Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to their download service.

Tokyo Jungle comes to America in September

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Nicole Kline

Did you watch that trailer for Tokyo Jungle? No? Well, you should.

I’ll wait.

Watch it yet? Ok, good. Then you saw the words “Urban based animal survival genre.” It’s like they took Twelve Monkeys and made only the above-ground part, with the wild animals running around all over Philadelphia, into a video game. There are “over 50 playable animals ranging from Pomeranians to Lions” in the game, according to the PlayStation Blog. There were baby chicks, and some dogs about to get it on, and was that a kangaroo attacking a tiger?

Wait a minute… did they say Pomeranians? I’m not sure what is going on here. All I know is that Tokyo Jungle comes to the PlayStation Network (priced at $14.99) on September 25.

Sports Champions 2 moves into stores on October 30

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Nicole Kline

The sequel to 2010’s Sports Champions will be out on October 30, according to the PlayStation Blog. The team is hard at work “giving the game one final coat of polish and squashing bugs right now,” says Senior Producer, Jeremy Ray. If only bug squashing were a sport!

Sports Champions 2 will have Bowling, Boxing, Golf, Skiing (what???), Tennis, and new Archery, as well as an avatar creator, so you don’t have to use those ludicrous caricatures anymore. There’s something called Party Play as well, and I have no idea what’s going on in that image above, but I’ll bet dollars to donuts those two things are related. Whatever. Just give me a bow and arrow and let me achieve zen and sore upper arms!

Sony Japan Studio makes it Rain at Gamescom

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Andrew Rainnie

When Sony registered several domain names related to “rain,” many assumed it had something to do with Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain. Instead, the publisher revealed Rain at Gamescom, a new and beautiful title from Sony’s Japan Studio. In the trailer, we’re introduced to an invisible boy who can only be seen outside in the rain. When he wanders inside or under shelter, players can only see him via footprints or by objects that move as he touches him.

With a similar concept to Hudson Soft’s inspired, but clumsily executed, Wii title Lost in Shadow, Rain looks to be a PlayStation Network exclusive. While little other information was revealed, the trailer shows the protagonist being chased by other wet, ghostly figures. And during his flight, he appears to be looking for someone else, possibly a little girl.

Rain currently doesn’t have a release date, but Sony has promised more information will be revealed soon.
