PC Gamer have got the inside scoop on Total War: Warhammer and have had access to a preview build of the game.
In their hands-on feature they discuss the games features in great detail and we even get 3 new screenshots of the game in action. Some of the features PC Gamer reveals are:
– The Battle of Blackfire Pass; a quest battle which is a new feature for the Total War franchise
– Each character in a quest battle has a series of missions which unlock items, abilities and mounts
– Flying creatures have been included for the first time. Air-to-air combat is still being ironed out
Mario and Sonic will join forces once again for the fifth installment in the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series.
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games will release on both Wii U and 3DS which differs from the previous entry in the series which was a Wii U exclusive. New events include golf and rugby and Jet the Hawk, Rouge the Bat and Zazz from The Deadly Six have been confirmed as playable characters.
You can watch the game’s reveal in the below video taken from the latest Nintendo Direct:
The above images come from a cancelled Initial D game for the DS called Initial D EX. The game was in development at SEGA Rosso in 2007/2008 but was quietly cancelled for unknown reasons. The above images actually come directly from SEGA Rosso’s website but were removed rather sharpish. Initial D EX was planned to be the 7th game in the Initial D franchise.
As a part of SEGA’s digital strategy, the publisher has now removed a series of mobile games from the iOS App Store, Google Play store, Samsung App Store and Amazon App Store that it has deemed as, “no longer meeting their standards”. The full list of titles can be viewed below:
– After Burner Climax
– Jet Set Radio
– Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2
– Super Monkey Ball Tip’n’Tilt 1 & 2
– Altered Beast
– Ecco the Dolphin
– Golden Axe 1, 2 & 3
– Phantasy Star II
– Streets of Rage 1 & 3
– Space Harrier II
– Virtua Fighter 2
If you have already purchased the games then SEGA has confirmed that they will remain re-downloadable but there will be no further support for them. This means that as OS and hardware updates occur, the games may become unplayable.
SEGA has confirmed that 20 new mobile titles are due to release in the future and they will be of, “console quality”.
The first character artwork and screenshot of Axel Stone in Project X Zone 2 has been revealed and they’re pretty faithful to the original character design. You can check them both out below:
This is Axel Stone’s first in-game appearance since Streets of Rage 3 in 1994. Axel will be voiced by Tomokazu Sugita. Project X Zone 2 releases worldwide on 3DS this Autumn.
Well this is an odd one: following the disappearance of Imageepoch’s CEO Ryoei Mikage last month, the company have now filed for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy is apparently unrelated to Mikage’s disappearance and is blamed on a fall in company’s profits due to a sales slump. This was made worse by the rising cost of development.
There is no mention as to what will happen to the release of Imageepoch’s upcoming game Stella Glow which SEGA Japan are due to publish in June. I’d hazard a guess that unless the game had already gone gold, Stella Glow is likely cancelled.
SEGADriven wish everyone affected by this news all the best in finding work. We also hope that Mikage is found safe in due course.
Some new characters have been revealed for Project X Zone 2, the crossover strategy RPG from Bandai Namco, Capcom and SEGA.
New to the series is Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Aty from Summon Night 3 and Nana Kazuki and Ciel Alencon from God Eater 2.
The news that will excite SEGA fans is the inclusion of Axel Stone from Streets of Rage. This marks the character’s first new appearance in a video game since Streets of Rage 3 in 1994. Axel joins Gemini Sunrise and Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Wars as the currently confirmed SEGA characters for Project X Zone 2.
Legendary RPG Grandia II is set for a HD PC release via GungHo Online Entertainment America. The game was originally released on the Dreamcast back in 2000 and has been re-birthed thanks to an “enthusiastic” response to a consumer survey that the publisher carried out earlier this year.
No release date has been set but the game is due to launch on the Steam platform.
Hucast return for another entry in their DUX series with the reveal of Redux 2 for Dreamcast. Redux 2 will follow in its forbears’ footsteps by being a horizontal scrolling shoot-em-up in the vein of R-Type. It has been revealed that the game will feature 2 player co-op.
No release date has been revealed at this time. You can read our review of the first Redux by clicking here.
Hucast’s next Dreamcast release is the vertical-scrolling shooter Ghost Blade and after a serious set-back when the previous programmer left the project, the game is now set for a release this year on September the 17th.
You can pre-order the game now. A standard and special edition is available with the standard simply featuring the game and a manual while the special edition also includes the game’s soundtrack on a separate disc.
