Yoshinori Ono has been slowly unveilingStreet Fighter X Tekken. Here at San Diego Comic-Con he showed off a few new bits of the game’s fighting system. He also showed off some changes made from feedback that came from E3. Ono says that Super Arts are back with this game, but he’s more excited about the new Super Charges. These are charge moves that do not involve gauges. You can charge up to three levels, and at its highest level you can perform a Super Art without using the Cross Gauge....

Our friends over atThe Behemothhave been busy as bees lately. Just today it was announced thatCastle Crashersis coming to PlayStation Network(hooray PlayStation 3 owners!), and on top of all that, they have thatshiny new unnamed gamethat we’ve all been wondering about. I was able to pull artist Dan Paladin away from throngs of adoring fans for a few stolen moments to talk about what the game will offer, and why we will all be foaming at the mouth to play it soon enough....

Well, it’s obvious now that 2K Sports is going to continue copying ESPN’s “This is SportsCenter” commercials. Remember how the first skit, “Lefty,” aped a specific ESPN ad (“The Closer”)? I couldn’t find the specific ESPN analog of this skit, but I feel like I’ve seen one before. Either way, I guess ESPN can’t sue for copyright infringement or anything, since I don’t think it’s possible to patent a style of advertising — but seriously, how can anyone who watches this videonotimmediately think of ESPN’s famous ad campaign?...

Dead Space’snarrative is certainly special, despite the conclusion’s somewhat disappointing nature. In an attempt to expand theDead Spaceuniverse, EA and Image Comics partnered up for a prequel series of comic books that originally hit stores on June 12, 2025. Newsarama iscurrently hosting the first full issue of the seriesfor those who missed out. The comic sheds a bit of light on Unitarian theology, as well as the origins of the Marker in relation to theIshimura’sarrival....

We all know how well the PS2 did, mostly because we all probably still have one. Sony managed to push 146 million of these ugly game systems out the door in ten years. CEO Kaz Hirai thinks they can top that with the PS3 now. “The high point, looking back at our console business, has been PS2,” he claims. “For PS3, that is one level of success we’d like to emulate and hopefully surpass at the end of the ten-year life cycle....

There’s a big Square Enix event set for January in Japan, and Famitsu says that they’ll announce major titles there. The Square Enix 1st Production Department Premiere was set for Jan 11, but they just rescheduled it for the 18th. A drawing on Japan’s Square Enix members page will determine which members can attend the event. The event, which will take place at Toho Cinemas in Roppongi, Tokyo, will likely be showing something big....

To call the two months following the release ofFinal Fantasy XIV“turbulent” for players might be putting it mildly. People have been complaining almost non-stop about issues with the game, while Square Enix has repeatedly sworn up and down that they’re working to fix it. Today brings another apology and another promise. But Square Enix is making some very visible moves beyond vocal protests that they’re working on it. They’ve restructured theFFXIVdesign team, bringing in producer Naoki Yoshida to head up the project along with a number of veterans from other Square Enix teams....

One of a handful of developers that has proven it can release quality, entertaining film-based adaptations, Starbreeze Studios, has stated that one of its projects with EA has been cancelled. In a recentGI.bizreport, the studio confirmed that a pre-production phase title in partnership with the publisher has been canned — but plans are still in place to collaborate on another “big production.” Starbreeze CEO Johan Kristiansson told GI.biz that despite this cancelled project, their relationship with EA is “stronger than ever,” and “the aim now is to spend more resources on the game” — one of the two the duo had planned — “that demonstrated the greatest potential....

Okay, this is hot. Yes Bayonetta lady, I do want to touch you. Please let me touch you … What? She asked and I answered! Hey, at least I don’t want toshag a furry like thatBritish guy. I actually haven’t really paid much attention to this game until today, but I now have a total hard on for it. It looks great and I totally love that she has guns on her shoes....

At tonight’s Team Ninja pre-TGS event the group reminded us thatNinja Gaiden 3will feature online multiplayer. We weren’t told much more thanwe already knew. We do know that the online game is a world of ninjas, and that it will feature 8-player multiplayer action. That’s good enough, right? We were given one image and promised that we’d hear more later. Above you’ll find a terrible photograph of that image. Sorry, that’s all we have so far....

Guys, I’m scared. Going around Japan for the past week has increased my urge to get into action-figure collecting. I even bought a Gundam in Akihabara! So imagine my excitement when I saw the finished looking version of Cyborg and Solid Snake. They look amazing! Then when I turned around, BOOM! There were a couple of Zone of the Enders figures. Yup, I’m screwed. In fact all the figures at Tokyo Game Show looked wonderful....
