The gun-crazy, style before substance shooter by SEGA and Red Entertainment is being revived in manga form.

The shooter has spawned two PS2 titles and an anime series but now the license is being extended to Manga by Digital Manga Publishing. There is also a movie planned for 2011 by Convergence Entertainment.

The character design of Gungrave were originally designed by the creator of Trigun, Yasuhito Nightow, however the designer is unavailable for the project. The story concept is set to run many issues.

Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love will be hitting retailers a week later than expected. This definitely isn’t an Alpha Protocol style of delay but the NIS published entry in the long running SEGA franchise will arguably be the last JRPG title to hit PS2.

The title will launch on May 30, 2010 instead of May 23, 2010. The game will be launched at the $29.99 price point and PS2 version will feature a second Japanese language disc.

Sega’s rejected robot Vectorman was actually going to get his own game on the PS2! Sadly it was cancelled,  no reason has been given for this game being cancelled. There was an updated version of Altered Beast on PS2 and it seems as if this game was to be launched alongside with Altered Beast.  I presume it is just due to the lack of funding, and the fact that Altered Beast didn’t sell incredibly well.

The game does look like a fairly generic game for the PS2 and from the alpha footage you can see that it lacks any kind of innovative features (although the throwing feature looks quite cool) .
