What’s Going On with Final Fantasy Versus XIII? Well…

This summer, six years will have passed since Final Fantasy Versus XIII was first shown in trailer form. Talk about a long time. As previously mentioned in Aug. 2011, Square Enix actually did not begin work then. By 2009, Square Enix showed gameplay footage, and now in early 2012, the game's designer, Tetsuya Nomura, is supposedly talking up FF Versus XIII in the latest Famitsu. According to Nomura, the latest Final Fantasy Versus XIII images look more expressive than what was shown in last year's trailer. Square Enix is increasing the number of real-time cutscenes in the game. Currently, the ratio of real-time to pre-rendered CG cutscenes...

Coliseum battles will give players the ability to test their might against creatures from Final Fantasies past. Defeat them soundly enough and their souls we be yours to level...

Want to Play Resident Evil 6 Early? Buy Dragon’s Dogma

While Capcom's open-world action game Dragon's Dogma has attracted a fair amount of interest, it hasn't generated even a fraction of the buzz of say, a new Resident Evil game. Capcom helps it along by slipping a token for access to the Resident Evil 6 demo inside every copy of Dragon's Dogma. To further demonstrate the popularity of Dragon's Dogma versus Resident Evil 6, I didn't feel the need to mention that Capcom also dated the action game for May 22 in North America (25 in Europe) in the headline, choosing instead to place it here so folks know when they'll be getting those vouchers. Want to get into the demo faster than...

Pac-Man and Mega Man Join Street Fighter X Tekken’s PlayStation Exclusives (UPDATED With Video)

Street Fighter X Tekken‘s roster is already bursting with fan favorites from both sides, and today we can add two more iconic characters to the list – and in this case, they’re exclusive to PS3 and PS Vita players… Two iconic mascots, Pac-Man and Mega Man, join the fray with existing PlayStation exclusives Cole, Kuro and Toro. However, both mascots arrive in altered forms to create battles unique to Street Fighter X Tekken; Pac-Man rides Tekken’s Mokujin, while Mega Man references the “classic” bad box art from the original US Mega Man.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Delayed

SEGA today confirmed it is delaying the release of Aliens: Colonial Marines until later this fall. The game was originally scheduled to ship this coming spring. “Aliens: Colonial Marines is a process of creativity and invention and those don't necessarily follow the structure of an assembly line," SEGA and Gearbox Software said in a statement sent to Game Informer. "While setting clear goals, deadlines and predictions is helpful, they are often subjective. We don't want to sacrifice the creative process just for the sake of following a blue print. We prefer to have the creative discovery shape that blue print because our goal is to...

According to the game's producer Yoshinori Ono, Capcom was in discussions with Microsoft but they ultimately never came to an agreement. "We do have the exclusive characters for the Sony platform. We have Cole, the two Sony cats, Kuro and Toro. But basically for the Xbox 360, we were in discussions with them [Microsoft] for which character to put in as an exclusive, but we weren't able to decide on a character because of differences in timing and things like that,"...

Street Fighter X Tekken To Get Free Post-Launch Tournament Support Mode

Street Fighter X Tekken is to get an added bonus post-launch, with the release of the tournament support mode as a downloadable patch in a bid to address and hopefully alleviate the concerns of fans regarding the game's controversial and divisive gem system. The gem system attaches a trio of gems to your fighter, each with varying properties revolving around speed, defence and attack, of which there are two types, namely Assist Gems and Boost Gems. Assist Gems are always active and help augment a player's weaknesses, while Boost Gems improve a character's attributes but must be activated by fulfilling certain in-game tasks. There...

Retro Studios working on Star Fox for Wii U?

It’s been brought to my attention that the latest edition of the Official Nintendo Magazine has a in-depth feature titled ’A Brief History Of Retro Studios’. Towards the end of the feature they move onto what they the studio behind the Metroid Prime games and Donkey Kong Country Returns are working on next, ending with these two sentences… “While some suggest this new project is likely to be a return to the Metroid franchise, we’d love to see another Nintendo hero get the retro stamp of excellence. After all, having rolled out the barrels for Donkey Kong, perhaps it’s time Retro pulled off a barrel roll of a different kind.”Could...

Grand Theft Auto 3 & Grand Theft Auto Vice City to PSN!

Car-stealing, hooker-hitting classics GTA 3 and GTA Vice City are both making their way to the PS3 via the PSN, according to a recent filing by the trusty ESRB. Both PS2 classics were re-rated by the ESRB to include a PlayStation 3 category. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was not re-rated though. My guess is Rockstar will wait to release San Andreas until GTA 5 is closer to hitting its launch date. The two games share the bea-u-tiful city of Los Santos. No word from Sony on when these titles will be available on the PSN. When they are released, will you be downloading th...

Minecraft to Become First Xbox 360 Game to Receive "Constant Updates"

The XBLA version of Minecraft will be the first game on the system to receive "constant updates," according to developers 4J Studios. Thanks to Microsoft's content authorisation process, it currently takes time to get updates through the system and live to users. But that's all about to change, 4J's chief technology officer Paddy Burns told Edge. "Microsoft knows that to do a similar thing that's on PC where they constantly update it, that's a very difficult thing to do on Xbox because you have to go through the full tests," he said. "But they are quite keen to move towards that - they do see it as the future, so I think we might...

SOPA and PIPA Fail to Make it to Congress Following Protests

Looks like yesterday's online and offline protests had some impact. SOPA and PIPA are dead. For now, at least. Both the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) were due to be voted for in US congress this Tuesday, but the debates have now been postponed indefinitely. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith said that his panel would not push ahead with SOPA until there is “wider agreement” on the proposed solution. PIPA, meanwhile, has been postponed by Senate Majority leader Harry Reid. He issued a statement today citing the "legitimate issues" raised by protesters for keeping the bill from...
