[X1] Don't worry, those pesky time-sensitive events will be optional in Dead Rising 3

[X1] Don't worry, those pesky time-sensitive events will be optional in Dead Rising 3

Dead Rising is a franchise known for two things; the insane number of zombies displayed on screen at any given time and the often frustration time constraints placed on certain missions you'll be required to complete. There are other noteworthy aspects about the franchise, but these two always stick out to me. Despite the fact that I found time-sensitive stuff annoying in Dead Rising 2 it was certainly something I would have missed in Dead Rising 3 when I thought it wasn't going to be included.

Don't fret though, in an interview with AusGamers it was revealed by Josh Bridge, producer on Dead Rising 3, that Nightmare Mode will bring back a lot of these features. So, they'll be optional this time around.

"So if you want to, it'll completely hand your ass to you with Nightmare Mode where the time-limit is going to be pushing you along a schedule -- you're gonna have to meet and finish the missions at a certain time or yo're going to miss them; you're gonna miss the optional content; you're going to run out of time -- a bomb is gonna likely nuke the whole area."

That could be music to the ears of some fans! I know I'll be tempted to try out this Nightmare Mode just to see how it compares to the difficulty of timed content in the previous entries.

"You can only save in Washrooms and it [just] keeps that classic pressure," Bridge continues. "But if you wanna have the freedom to explore... we have a biger world and there's even more stuff to do in it than any other Dead Rising, and if you want that and to take it all at your own leisure, that's there for you. You can even hop between both modes if you want -- it all goes to the one profile and saves all your experience."

So, does this new please you? Or are you not interested in returning to timed missions this time around?

Dead Rising 3 is in development for Microsoft's Xbox One, but many fans are crossing their fingers for a PC or PlayStation 4 release in the future.

[PS3, X360] Konami dates third DLC installment for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

[Wii U] Kojima Productions not considering a Wii U version of Metal Gear Rising

[Wii U] Kojima Productions not considering a Wii U version of Metal Gear Rising

Kojima Productions' next release is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which is being developed by Platinum Games for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and the game itself is nearly finished. Many gamers have been wondering if it will make its way to the Wii U, sadly that will not be the case.

Yuji Korekado, employee at Kojima Productions, has revealed that the core reason for the lack of Wii U version is their inability to comprehend the GamePad as a controller apparently.

"One of the strongest appeals of the Wii U is the GamePad. However, we've constructed Metal Gear Rising so you can fully enjoy the game on the controllers whether it's on the PS3 or the Xbox. So, currently we aren't thinking about Metal Gear Rising on the Wii U."

Its puzzling, and ignorant, logic if you ask me. This isn't just from someone who is a Wii U enthusiast, this is also from someone who'd love to see some of these companies thrust from their comfort zone. The Wii U's GamePad features twin sticks, shoulder buttons, d-pad and regular button functionality. The only difference is the screen in the middle of the controller.

Let's not even mention the fact that the Wii U also has a Pro Controller, which is very similar to the Xbox 360 that Korekado seems fond enough of.

We'll also ignore that Platinum Games is developing Bayonetta 2 exclusively for the Wii U, a game that could be compared to Revengeance in many ways.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance will make its way to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in America on February 19th, 2013 and in Europe on February 22nd, 2013.

Thanks for the heads up, Destructoid

[PS3, X360] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance poised to get post launch DLC

[PS3, X360] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance poised to get post launch DLC

It looks like Platinum Games' Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance's will be receiving some post launch DLC according to a filmed roundtable with producer Yuji Kurekado from this year's E3.

“We do have plans for some download content after the release from the game that will allow you to play maybe as a different character or some new missions.

Sounds good, but unfortunately the news came hot on the heels of confirmation that we won’t be taking Raiden’s sword into head-to-head battles with other players.

We don’t have any plans for competitive online play or anything like that."

No further details were provided, so from here I suppose it is time to start the fan speculation. Personally, I'll be happy to play as Gray Fox in a Metal Gear Rex fight, but that could be a dream. Originally, the nugget managed to sneak under the radar but was bought to everyone's attention by Gamerzines.

[PS3, X360] Kojima confirms Metal Gear Rising will be playable at E3

[PS3, X360] Kojima confirms Metal Gear Rising will be playable at E3

This year's E3 is taking place in June, that might seem far way but that doesn't concern Hideo Kojima. In the newest issue of Famitsu he confirmed that the collaboration between Kojima Productions and Platinum Games will be playable on the show floor in a few months time. The interview also involves Platinum Games CEO, Tatsuya Minami, and producer, Atsushi Inaba.

Other topics in the interview include a look back at how the incredibly strange collaboration came to exist, Minami recalls how they thought it was a joke at first. Kojima chimes in saying "even though we were serious, we didn't get a response, so we asked a second time one year later." Kojima was somewhat uncertain when it came to including a stealth component in Revegeance, so that was the first thing that Platinum Games tossed out the window, according to Minami.

Kojima also reiterated that he is not involved in the project, so everything is in Platinum Games skilled hands.

Bit.Trip Saga and Complete ride a Rising Star to Europe

by JC Fletcher on Nov 3rd 2011 3:45PM

Bit.Trip Saga for 3DS and Bit.Trip Complete for Wii came out in September here in North America, collecting all six WiiWare Bit.Trip games into convenient new formats and, in the case of Complete, adding new challenges. Not that there wasn't enough challenge to be found already.

For those of you in Europe looking for a more portable, three-dimensional and/or expanded Bit.Trip experience, Rising Star Games has signed on to publish Saga and Complete in that region, in the first quarter of 2012.

Complete on Wii will include a soundtrack sampler, just as it does in North America. It's a nice way to kick back and relax when not playing the games -- you certainly won't do any kicking back while playing them. Maybe some kicking.

Rising Star Games TRIPs a BIT
Widely anticipated BIT.TRIP COMPLETE and BIT.TRIP SAGA to be released in Q1 2012, courtesy of Rising Star Games

Better yet, it'll look even more stunning in 3D on Nintendo 3DS!

The six games featured:
BIT.TRIP BEAT marks the beginning of CommanderVideo's epic journey
BIT.TRIP CORE is the second instalment in CommanderVideo's soul quest
BIT.TRIP VOID continues CommanderVideo's epic journey

BIT.TRIP FATE is the penultimate chapter in the six-part BIT.TRIP series and will leave you wondering what's next
The BIT.TRIP series comes full circle with BIT.TRIP FLUX, CommanderVideo's final adventure
"We're hugely excited about bringing BIT.TRIP SAGA & BIT.TRIP COMPLETE to a European audience," says Martin Defries, managing director, Rising Star Games. "With such a unique look and critically acclaimed gameplay, we're expecting big things from both titles, and can't wait to bring these to gamers across the continent."

"Everyone at Gaijin Games is very excited to have BIT.TRIP SAGA & BIT.TRIP COMPLETE join Rising Star Games' excellent and varied library of games", commended Alex Neuse, co-founder, Gaijin Games. "From a publisher who literally has something to offer for every type of gamer, we couldn't be happier with this perfect fit of a European publishing partner."

October NPD: 3DS rising, a good month for games with 'Bat' in the title (Update: BF3, Batman, RAGE numbers)

by JC Fletcher on Nov 11th 2011 6:50PM

Microsoft claims another month on top for the Xbox 360, with 393,000 units sold for the NPD's October sales period, 20% up year over year and, in the words of MS Chief of Staff for Interactive Entertainment Business Aaron Greenberg, the system's "biggest October ever." Following up is ... the 3DS, randomly bouncing back two months after its price drop, with "over 250,000" sold, according to Nintendo.

Try to look shocked when we tell you that Battlefield 3 topped the software chart. The top six games on NPD's sales chart are all October releases, with Batman: Arkham City, NBA 2K12, Rage, Just Dance 3, and -- believe it or not -- super-hardcore, unfriendly RPG Dark Souls all placing. Find the full top ten after the break.
