Keiji Inafune Comments On Devil May Cry 5

It has been more than two and a half years since the release of Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. Since that time, we have heard absolutely nothing on the next entry in this storied franchise. Hardly confirming it, head of R&D and designer for Capcom said to Spanish gaming site 3D Juegos:

Devil May Cry 5 is a game that, when started development, this will change a lot in relation to the above. The reason is that, despite the franchise has some very loyal followers, their sales are not particularly high, especially overseas. For this reason, it is likely that in the fifth chapter will incorporate certain “Western touch” to make it more attractive to American and European players.

So it’s nice to know that we’ll be getting the game eventually right? I suppose, but no further details have been revealed about the title. Let’s cross our fingers and hope that the game makes an appearance  at the Tokyo Game Show.

Chime Trailer Shows Gameplay Footage of Still Alive Track

The first gameplay footage of the exclusive Glados track “Still Alive” from OneBigGame’s successful hit music-puzzler game Chime.

This trailer shows us just exactly what to expect from the music-puzzler that reminds me a lot of an intense session of Tetris, but better.

Zoe Mode, the UK-based developer who had created the original game pro bono (or free to us layman’s) for OneBigGame, will donate part of the proceeds of the PC version. And as for Xbox Live Arcade, Chime royalties from the PC version will benefit OneBigGame’s charity partners Starlight Children’s Foundation and Save the Children. For more information, please visit OneBigGame’s website.

Check out the trailer after the break.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero Impressions

Are you curious about picking up the new Dead Rising 2: Case Zero prologue, exclusively on Xbox Live? Well, if you are at all wondering what is in store for you with this title, look no further because I have some gameplay footage for you.

I sat down with fellow DualShocker Jon Ireson and we discussed a few of the things to expect from this awesome zombie-bashing title from Capcom, such as weapons, points system and simply just how fun this title was, and of course we also had to poke a little fun at each other as well.

Although, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero was made exclusively to Xbox 360, those who are on the PlayStation 3 and Windows PC will be able to take the reigns as Chuck Greene in Dead Rising 2 when it hits store shelves later in the month.

Take a look at the break for the footage of Dead Rising 2: Case Zero.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Wager Matches Trailer Released

The multi-player reveal for Call of Duty: Black Ops has landed and it’s ridiculous. The new menu is looking balla-riffic. The video opens up with David Vonderhaar (Design Director at Treyarch) giving us an overview of the all-new Wager Matches while destroying some poor saps with a new rocket launcher. The concept of the Wager Match modes is that you want to come in the top 3 players and if you do COD Points ahoy matey! COD Points are what is used to unlock weapons, if you can’t hang you can’t do your thang.

One in the Chamber is another game mode revealed where everybody starts out with one pistol, one bullet, and every kill you get gains you a new bullet. If you miss your shot, the only thing left is melee. Each player also only has three lives! The intense competition that will result will be sure to bring players beyond the already high level of cursing and enjoyment.

Sticks and Stones will deliver yet another untraditional spin on the Call of Duty franchise where crossbows, ballistic knives, and tomahawks. Tomahawks ‘bankrupt’ players, and you won’t want that type of humiliation and loss on your head, which just takes cutting people up to a whole new level.

Gun Game is just playing with fire, no more specialization and repetitive cheesiness with this mode! Players start out with the pistol and as they get kills they will cycle through weapons one at a time. If you can’t handle every weapon out there you will need to step your game up for these matches! If you are stabbed though, back to the pistol you go noob!

Sharp Shooter, another Wager Mode where all players get the same random weapon until a timer changes things up. You must all duke it out with nothing but the same weapon be it mini-gun, sniper rifle, or one of the game’s many rocket launchers. Kills earn you perks, and tons of kills get you multipliers for your points income.

Hit the break for this riveting video that will surely make a believer out of even the least excited Call of Duty fan right here and now, Black Ops is ready to take you by surprise this November 9th. The amount of explosives seen are insane, and it doesn’t end here, more details about the new game modes were revealed that definitely deliver on some serious ‘WOW’ factor and will crush pre-conceived notions of COD: Black Ops multi-player.

Lair of the Shadow Broker Trailer Looks Hot

In what is looking to be the best bit of Mass Effect 2 DLC to date, “Lair of the Shadow Broker” becomes available for download next week, on September 7, 2010. This DLC focuses heavily on Liara T’Soni, Shepherd’s old friend, and the lengths she’s gone through to help Shepherd throughout the years of their friendship. Watching the video, I was reminded how the story of ME2 barely touched on Liara’s involvement in Shepherd’s resurgence (sorry, didn’t want to spoil anything for the PS3 guys who haven’t played this yet, so had to come up with an idiotically vague word). I guess that is what they’re looking to cover in this lore-rich story.

Anyway, Bioware released the trailer for this bit of DLC today, which you’ll find after the break. It will retail for 800 Microsoft/Bioware points (or $10). It will also come on the Mass Effect 2 PS3 game disc come January.

StarCraft II Breaks 3 Million Sales

It was no question that Blizzard was going to hit it big with StarCraft II, especially when the competition revealed itself as very weak in the Real-Time Strategy genre. It seemed like long-time respected RTS franchises simply got out of StarCraft II’s way and wanted to have no part in competing with this behemoth of a title. When it finally arrived the world knew why. The most entertaining and highest selling PC game of the year thus far, and possibly the best RTS for the next decade, has just passed 3 million sales in it’s first month.

This sequel to the 1998 title remains focused on strategy arguably more than any other title out there and has introduced the improved Battle.net system among other innovations. How far will the momentum behind this title take Blizzard? Only time will tell, for now things are looking great with no end in sight.

StarCraft II My Long Lost Love

You know you are addicted to a game when you start viewing replays… in your sleep. I found myself literally dreaming about Starcraft II last night. I could see myself building probes and working out strategies and then realized that I was in fact asleep. I woke up laughing to myself and thinking ‘wow’. This had not happened to me for a while, I was having video game pr0n dreams.
