The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

The Alison Road kickstarter has been cancelled but the developer did provide an update explaining the situation. The game was made as a spiritual fan successor to Kojima's Silent Hills Playable Teaser demo that was exclusive to PlayStation 4 owners for free until #F**Komani came in.

The funds only reached £145,959 of £250,000 with 4482 backers.

Hi all, we have news!

First some bad news but then some AMAZINGLY good news.

We have decided to withdraw the Kickstarter campaign to allow us to commit 100% to an opportunity that will give us the chance as a team to create the best game possible.

As a newly founded studio, we’ve been completely overwhelmed by your encouragement and huge interest in Allison Road and we’d love to thank each and every one of you for all of the amazing support you have given us during our Kickstarter campaign and beyond. Really incredibly appreciated.

And now the good news, in fact it’s AMAZING news!

We are delighted to announce that we will be joining Team17’s highly successful games label.

If you don’t know who Team17 are, they are most known for their Worms franchise, however, they run a fully independent games label. For us it’s an incredible opportunity to be part of a label that looks after not only such a massive gaming franchise, but also supports developers like Playtonic,Mouldy Toof and many others.

Working with Team17 will give us the chance to make our game unhindered creatively, but at the same time will give us the resources, support and experience that only a 25 year old studio can give.

For all of you that have pledged already for in game rewards, we absolutely promise you that we will look at ways outside of Kickstarter that will allow you to be involved in the game at a later date.

We will be going very quiet for a while as we focus on making Allison Road the best horror experience it possibly can be but do please follow us and Team17 on @Lillithltd & @AllisonRoad_HQ and @team17Ltd for future news.
 
Koei Tecmo have unleashed a new ton of information for Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, including a new trailer.


The game will feature the girls returning to Zack Island and provides various types of activities such as 'Water Tug of War', 'Beach Flags', 'Hopping Game' and more. And yes, one of these mini-games is basically knocking your opponent into the pool with your butt. Lewd. The video game engine is the same as the one used in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round which is called the Soft Engine. The Vita version will use a modified engine called Soft Engine Lite to enable touch controls and gyro sensors.

The game is slated for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, each will feature a Collector's Edition that includes swimsuit costumes, a gravure photo book, cards and a 3D Mouse Pad. Marie Rose and Honoka were the most voted so they will be featured on the box art, Marie will also be used for the mouse pad on PS4 while Honoka is on Vita. Prices for each collector's set is 13,800 Yen and 12,800 Yen for PS4 and Vita respectively.

The game will be released on February 25th 2016.

Just to clarify, due to Japanese video game laws and the laws in general don't expect nipples to be shown in the game. If they did that the game will end up either as a Z rating or just censored to death.

Only one game i'm playing at the moment and that's Tales of Zestiria and i am loving it. I love the music they used for the opening...when i first heard it a little tingle of excitement ran through me, makes a change from singing.

Whilst I don't really care for the "Tales of" series, I do really like the opening music used for Zestiria - well the vocal version at least.
Not really a fan of the instrumental version used for international releases personally. NA NA NANANANA NA NA NA NA

Atelier Escha & Logy Plus Limited Edition was announced by Koei Tecmo and NIS America.

Costs $54.99 and includes:
- Atelier Escha & Logy Plus physical copy for PlayStation Vita
- 36-page full color, softcover art book
- Single-disc soundtrack of 30 tracks with jewel case
- Tear-resistant poster (18″x24″)
- Collector’s box

Unfortunately, much like Ar nosurge Plus, it's digital only everywhere else and the retail version is limited to the limited edition which is exclusive to NIS America's online store.
 
Now this is something worth having a read about.

Kotaku did an article detailing how XSEED managed to release The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter (aka Trails SC). Long story short, it's an apparent nightmare for them.

One of the biggest problems was due to the game's huge length which is twice the size of the first chapter. Another was sorting out translations on the wrong format, forcing the XSEED staff to manually copy/paste everything to the right format which took them months.

More on the article here.
 
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter is now available to download on the European PlayStation Network.

The game costs £21.99 and is accessible for PSP, Vita and Vita TV. The PC version is already available on Steam.

EU PlayStation Blog didn't even bother to mention the game which is honestly pretty disrespectful considering the translators over at XSEED suffered harsh times trying to get this game released for the English community.
 
From the Nintendo Direct, Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow are coming to the 3DS VC.

Twilight Princess HD has been confirmed.

And Cloud is coming as a DLC character in Smash Bros.
 
In addition:

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of a Forgotten Past
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

The Nintendo 3DS versions are heading to North America and Europe.
 
So the joke here is that Cloud can't be done badly in smash (There's at least five sword users in Smash, Sakurai and crew know their sharp stick game) but there's every chance that FF7 Reunion will be a complete mess.
 
NIS America will be bringing the original Disgaea to Steam for Windows 7/8/10 in February 2016.
