Novidades sobre Siren: New Translation(Blood Curse)

Uma reportagem da famitsu traz muitos detalhes sobre o jogo. Vou reproduzi-lo aqui pra vocês.

” Those that weaved the nightmare:
The “Siren” series has always been based on various Japanese cultures and folklores. The base concept for this new game is “looking in from a different cultural perspective”, with new characters giving the first game of the series a new translation. This is a introduction to two of those new characters that will appear in the game.

Prologue:
August 3, 2007. An American television crew has suddenly lost contact while covering their story in the deep mountains of Japan. The well-beings of the missing crew are still unknown. Up until the crew completely lost their contact, they were reporting on “found traces of human sacrifice” in the remains of a village which supposedly was wiped out by a land-slide in 1976. The name of that village was Hanyuda…

A bull-headed cultural anthropologist Sam Monroe:
A cultural anthropologist who works at an easy job at a third rate university. His stubborn personality always gets him into trouble by being perverse on his own believes and understanding of things. Having both family and financial troubles, Sam joined the TV crew out of desperation in exchange for a particular unknown condition. This caused Sam to be involved in the strange incident that happened in Hanyuda Village.

Cable TV Reporter Melissa Gale:
An American cable TV reporter. Divorced with Sam Monroe a few years ago. Melissa is troubled by the dilemma of her passion for work and the love for her daughter who lives apart from her. While reporting from the remains of Hanyuda Village, she is also one of the witnesses to the strange incident.

-Staying alive by using two modes of the “New Sight-Jack”:
Changes made in the “New Translation” are not just the main characters’ looks and stories. The series’ unique game system of “Sight-Jack” has also been drastically refined. It is now possible to have split screens during Sight-Jack. With this new function, you will no longer need to switch screens to know exactly what the shibito’s actions are. There will also be a “Search Mode” which allows you to Sight-Jack multiple shibitos at once, and a “Action Mode” which allows you to move while Sight-Jacking.

What is “Sight-Jack”:
Sight-Jack is a unique game system to the series which allows you to look from other character’s eyes/perspective. You need this to figure out the patterns of “the dead” to avoid danger, or to get certain informations that you will need in order to move to safety. There are many ways which you can utilize this function. Using the Sight-Jack to stay alive, will also be the heart of this game.

“Search Mode”:
The screen will enter Search Mode when L2 button is pushed. You will be able to start search for “sights” when L1 or R1 is pushed. Up to 3 different found “sights” can be saved and displayed on screen at once.

“Action Mode”:
During Search Mode, you can select one particular “Jacked-Sight” to enter Action Mode. This allows you to move and attack WHILE Sight-Jacking the enemy. The clarity of the Sight-Jack will also become clearer if your character stops moving for a certain amount of time. “

Gears of War 2: 5x MAIOR!

É o que prometeu Cliff Bleszinski semana passada em São Francisco. Ele disse que a engine Unreal nunca para de evoluir e que isso traz muitas possibilidades novas. Leiam o que ele disse: “[Unreal Engine has] never stopped evolving. The character lighting is vastly improved, the environment is chippable and the tress get knocked down as physics objects. There’s just so much shit going on, it’s five times bigger this time. I think it shows the engines got smoother.”

Detalhes sobre armas de Resistance 2

Detalhes sobre novas armas foram revelados numa entrevista do site 1UP com James Stevenson. Leiam na integra sobre elas: ” The Marksman is apparenetly a mid-range sniper rifle that is semi-automatic, but it is said to be just as powerful as the L23 Fareye so this could become a formidible weapon.

While the Minigun was previously announced, details of the secondary fire have been revealed. It allows the user to put down a tri-pod, which means the user then cannot move. However, a shield is put up infront of the user making them almost invincible to attacks from the front. However, they will still be weak from behind, or a well aimed shot from a sniper.”

Novidades de Resident Evil 5

Novidades sobre o jogo foram reveladas pela revista Famitsu, aqui são algumas delas tiradas do site neogaff:

- A new trailer will be shown in the very near future.
- For now, Famitsu will show images and some info from one part of that trailer. (intro paragraph written by Takeuchi)
- There’s a new female character, shown holding a shotgun and wearing a tank top and boots similar to the ones Jill wore in RE3.
- In addition to areas that make use of sunlight as a gameplay dynamic, there will be darker, shadow-filled areas as well, such as a cavern where Chris utilizes a flashlight. There will be an intense contrast between light and dark.
- Chris is shown using his knife, a sniper rifle above a bridge that’s above a river, and of course the handgun.
- A few pieces of artwork are shown, such Chris fighting villagers near a crashed helicopter, that same helicopter flying amidst a smoke-filled sky, and Chris witnessing the helicopter being shot down. There’s also some kind of garden in the cavern with a giant hole above it, allowing the sunlight in.
- Chris is shown holding a blond girl noticeably shorter than him in a building.
- A picture of a chainsaw and the right leg of its weilder is shown.
- Chris will be up against very powerful enemies once again, and this shot of some creature behind iron bars is reminiscent of Chris’s previous enemies, such as CODE: Veronica’s Nosferatu (although it was Claire who faced him) and the REmake’s Lisa Trevor. Those two creatures were imprisoned at some point as well.
