SegaShiro: Pure SEGA HARDCORE!

PSN Blog writer Sid Shuman spoke to Randy Pitchford about the recently delayed but intriguing Aliens: Colionial Marines title. The delay is in order to help Gearbox complete their “labor of love” and to avoid compromising the development team’s vision.

The Gearbox CEO went on to say that the player’s experience will be gritty and realistic within the confines of the universe:

_{“I would say that the player’s experience for Aliens: Colonial Marines will tend closer to the gritty realism side. I say that because sometimes the gameplay footage we use for marketing will tend to focus more on the action — which is definitely in there — but you can’t really feel difficulty and challenge as well when you’re trying to promote and market the game using promotional footage.”}

I am most excited about the prospect of 4 player co-op through the storyline (I’ve been hooked on the Syndicate demo for the same reason) but Pitchford has gone record stating that the multiplayer is a significant aspect of the title:  Read the rest of this entry »

I don’t know Japanese but these two videos are pretty funny. If you can’t puzzle out the “trick” ending to the Hostess video just think of that classic Aerosmith song the “Dude looks like a lady…”

In the shopping one…why does a robot need toilet paper? Why? It sucks to get carded when you have only rolled off the assembly line a couple of weeks ago.

Anyway, Japan is getting a Binary Domain demo on Feb. 1 and I am tempted to download it and do an impression video despite the language barrier. I’m not sure if this fair because using a headset and talking is a key component to this one. Read the rest of this entry »

This is a stirring, evocative trailer for Gears of War IV…wait no, no – my mistake – it’s for Dead Island II. Ah, shit! Sorry let me explain, I am so used to everything cribbing from Aliens that I get confused when SEGA’s marketing department unleashes a trailer that makes Gearbox’s Alien title look like a melting pot of 2011 titles.  What is with all that slow motion and music? The game is still pretty, though.

It is about time that House of the Dead 4 came to home consoles and SEGA is bringing both part 3 and part 4 to PSN space. What does the transition bring? Let’s ask SEGA Blog’s,  Kate:

_{“The House of the Dead 3 is coming to PlayStation Network on February 7th, to be followed by The House of the Dead 4 in Spring 2012. Both titles have been updated with HD graphics, trophies, and complete PlayStationMove support to give you a full arcade HOTD experience in your living room. Boom.”}

Damn right! I can’t wait to play this sharpshooter! The SEGA boards are lighting up with demands about Guncon support (cool idea) and controller support (duh). However, one person asked if they could wire up their older DC light gun and while I can understand the nostalgia - there is no way that is going to work.

Outside of that, the catcalls for Virtua Cop and Rambo have started! Yay! And yes, no word on Xbox 360 support as it probably ain’t happening. Oh, I hope widescreen support happens.
