Check out this live demo of Aliens: Colonial Marines from E3. There’s 11 minutes of it!
Aliens: Colonial Marines is set for a 2012 release on X-Box 360, Wii U and Playstation 3. It’s being developed by Gearbox Software, the people behind Borderlands and Duke Nukem Forever.
Jun Senoue, famed composer of many a Sonic game, has confirmed he will be performing on the SEGA stage of the Tokyo Game Show on Sunday September 18th. Jun will be performing alone and is planning an interesting playlist.
“I need to think about the songs to play there and I know it will be a great opportunity to play some from Generations.”
In other news, Jun has also confirmed that the 2 Sonic Generations CDs we discovered artwork for are in fact Japanese pre-order items for anyone pre-ordering either the PS3/360 or 3DS versions.
“They are sort of giveaway CDs. I will work on the soundtrack CD of Sonic Generations later.”
That last comment seems to indicate that Jun is arranging a proper Generations soundtrack CD for a later release. More on this as we get it!
Fansite The Sonic Scene has uncovered some interesting Sonic Generations images.
Japanese PS3 and 360 pack-shots have been discovered along with 2 covers for ‘white’ and ‘blue’ editions of the original soundtrack.
Also featured is a new 3DS screenshot showing the famous Emerald Coast whale chase! There’s also a shot from the opening cutscene from the PS3/360 versions (SPOILERS).
SEGA have just uploaded some new screenshots to their Flickr set for Sonic Generations. The 2 new stages that are heavily featured are Seaside Hill from Sonic Heroes and Spagonia’s Rooftop Run from Sonic Unleashed.
In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Toshihiro Nagoshi has stated that the Yakuza series will likely never get ported to the X-Box 360.
Nagoshi explains, “At the beginning of the project we spoke to all the platform holders including Sony and Microsoft. Every platform holder was negative about this prospect, but we kept on pushing because we believed in the potential, and as we kept going one platform holder that showed interest and saw the prospects of this title was Sony. That’s how we started working with them, and that’s probably not going to change.”
Nagoshi added, “The basic style and mechanics is really an old game that started on PS2 and continued on PS3. Times keep changing, and if we started on some new games they would be in a very different shape – so the last game was the end of one particular era.”
End of an era, eh? Can we expect more from the Yakuza series on different platforms? Only time will tell!
