At yesterday’s Summer of Sonic event, Steve Lycett revealed the inclusion of NiGHTS and Reala from NiGHTS into Dreams as playable characters in Sonic & SEGA All-Star Racing Transformed. Both characters take the form of vehicles with a Nightopian and a Nightmaren riding on their backs.
Also revealed was a NiGHTS themed track. The track is themed around Spring Valley with additional areas of Nightmare that include appearances from the bosses Gillwing and Wizeman.
The HD port of Jet Set Radio originally set for release this summer on XBLA, PSN and Steam is now coming to Playstation Vita.
The Vita version will include touchscreen controls and camera integration that is exclusive to this port. We assume this will be used for the tagging in the game and creating your own tags but this hasn’t been confirmed at this time.
The game will also be playable at this year’s E3 event at the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 5th to the 7th. There is currently no word in regards to when this version of Jet Set Radio will release or if it will come out on the same day as the XBLA/PSN/Steam releases.
And now we have footage! Check out the gameplay trailer for the newly announced Double Fine game from Ron Gilbert of Monkey Island fame ‘The Cave’ which SEGA are publishing!
Anybody else getting a Blackthorne vibe? Interesting stuff!
The Double Fine developed game that SEGA are publishing is called The Cave. The title is being directed by Ron Gilbert and now there’s some screenshots of it that illustrate the game’s art-style.
Details on the game have also emerged. The title will be released on PC, PSN and XBLA in early 2013. The game is an adventure game where you assemble a team of explorers who must explore and underground amusement park for ‘inter-continental ballistic missiles’. Rappelling and spelunking in the caverns is also featured.
The Summer of Sonic convention on July 7th will be the first place to receive a playable version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed. The new racing game from Sumo Digital is the sequel to Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing which previously released on PS3, X-Box 360, Nintendo DS and iOS.
Steve Lycett, executive producer from Sumo Digital will also be in attendance to meet fans and to introduce attendees to the game.
Also confirmed is that the game and Steve Lycett will also make an appearance at the Sonic Boom convention on July 13th at the House of Blues in San Diego, so American fans will also get an opportunity to play the game well ahead of its’ release date.
DUX, the 2D shoot-em-up released by Hucast on Dreamcast in 2009 is getting a sequel called Redux: Dark Matters and the developers have taken to Kickstarter in order to get the project the funding it needs.
The goal of the Kickstarter is to bring the game to XBLA, PSN and Steam through the sale of a limited edition Dreamcast version. This version will also come boxed with a new version of DUX called DUX 1.5 which features additional improvements over its’ original release.
Also being made available is a 4 disc boxset of the soundtrack featuring music composed by Andre Neumann and remixes by the legendary Chris Huelsbeck of Turrican fame.
The game will also be released on iOS/iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch in July this year. The Dreamcast release is scheduled for December while the release on Steam, XBLA and PSN is tentative as it all relies on the Kickstarter campaign.
SEGA is teaming up with Arkedo Studio to bring us Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit; a 2D action game featuring an undead bunny who is framed for having sex with a rubber duck. No, I’m not making this up. Check out the reveal trailer below:
The game is set to launch on PC, PSN and XBLA later this year.
Binary Domain will be getting a PC release very soon. Digital copies will launch on April 27th while boxed copies will launch on May 18th.
Pre-order from Steam and you’ll also receive the Multiplayer Pack which includes a Ninja class , Outside High-rise map and extra sniper rifle and handgun weapon types. This will set you back £30.
Hopefully the game gets a second wind with this PC release as the console release failed to set the world alight even though it received positive reviews from most major game-sites.
We can finally see what Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 will look like! And what a surprising turn of events this is; the game now uses a fully 3D engine instead of using pre-rendered graphics for the foreground tiles and items like the previous game. Check it out:
Eagle-eyed Sonic fans will be intrigued to see Metal Sonic riding the rocket that Tails flies from Sonic the Fighters; nostalgia!
Also confirmed for the game is 2 player offline and online co-op play with Tails. This isn’t your standard Sonic 2 type co-op play either; Sonic and Tails have unique combination skills and attacks that give them a greater advantage than they do alone.
