Topless, Tattooed Yakuza Star Playable in Binary Domain

Posted: 09 Nov 2011 09:14 AM PST

Kazuma Kiryu, the main hero of Sega’s Yakuza series and a man you generally wouldn’t want to mess with, just got that little bit more tough — apparently he’s going to be a playable character in Binary Domain, the upcoming third-person shooter that’s being made by the Yakuza team.

Kiryu isn’t playing a role in the campaign mode, though — only in online multiplayer, where he’ll appear in a white, Scarface-like suit when playing for the government side and a Rambo-ish getup (complete with bandanna and topless, tattooed upper body) when fighting for the resistance.

“Since this is from the Yakuza team, after all, we figured we’d offer this as a present and as a symbol of the spirit we’re putting into this,” producer Toshihiro Nagoshi told Famitsu magazine. “Some people may see him as too out-of-place in this near-future setting, but the game is set in Tokyo, after all — I don’t think it’ll feel that strange. I hope you have fun having him go crazy on people.”

Binary Domain is due out for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 14 in the US and February 16 in Japan.

[G*Star 2011] Firefall

Posted: 09 Nov 2011 09:14 AM PST


(English website) Any game developer with the aim of succeeding in the competitive gaming market wouldn’t miss out the Korean market, and Firefall is no exception. As posted earlier (link), Red 5 Studios Korea will be showing the game publicly to a large crowd for the first time since getting the license back from Webzen. Over the past few months, several invitational contests have been held in various PC Bang, or PC cafe, over at Korea to promote Firefall.

With G*Star 2011 just hours away, I somehow found the pictures of the various models Red 5 Studios Korea hired for the show. Do not ask me what I typed in Google, I did not! Which belle is your favorite?

Review: Otomedius Excellent is Closer to "Passable"

Posted: 08 Nov 2011 09:11 PM PST

I honestly have no idea how I got through the first few video games I played during my childhood. I’m not just talking about the NES stuff from the mid-’80s, but games like the Smurfs for the Atari 2600. Assuming my memory is correct, there’s a random fence that, if you didn’t jump over in precisely the right way, meant instant game over. And somehow, I had put up with that damn instant death fence — again and again. I’m not sure whether I did so because I was a very perseverant child, or if I simply had nothing better to do than try-and-try-and-try again. Back then, video games for kids were simple, crude, and a bit on the cruel and unrelenting side.

Nowadays, kids games have dialed down the cruelty to the point where failure is not only not an option, but it’s not really even acknowledged. But even though they’ve become easier, they have not progressed much in terms of being less janky. It sort of makes sense for some Flash game on a NickJR or Disney XD website to look like it was made in some high schooler’s programming class, but when you see uninspired characters, repeated assets, and horrible glitches in a retail game meant for a home console, it’s downright disheartening. So it’s nice to see that while Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster still adopts the lack-of-failure motif, it’s within a game that looks like people cared about its craft.

[G*Star 2011] Guild Wars 2

Posted: 08 Nov 2011 03:10 PM PST


G*Star 2011 should be the first time Guild Wars 2 is introduced in-depth to he Korean gamers, hence there shouldn’t be any important news released at the event. In the NCsoft press conference which Lineage Eternal was announced (link), Guild Wars 2 was the 2nd title to be presented to the media. Don’t expect any announcements of new classes or features tat G*Star 2011 though.

I am guessing much of the information has already been discussed over the year, with the G*Star 2011 trailers being recycled from a past English video (link) as well. Anyway, I am most certainly impressed by the Korean text and voice overs. Spot any new stuff yet? Videos courtesy of ThisIsGame.com.
