Yakuza 5 is Apparently Massive

Posted Nov 26, 2011 at 10:00AM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: ps3 exclusive, Sega, yakuza 4, yakuza 5

Sega’s decision to push the game out of its normal schedule results in a big win for players.

The Yakuza series, at first, was updated like clockwork. Sega’s initial design for the franchise was a new sequel almost every year, with Yakuza landing in 2006, Yakuza 2 hitting 2008, 3 released in 2009 and 4 in 2010. It’s a release schedule that shouldn’t be unfamiliar to gamers, especially in 2011, the year of thirds.

But Sega elected to push Yakuza 5 out of its release schedule, which at the time had some gamers concerned about the project’s viability. But Sega’s intent with the extra development time is becoming more clear now that some details on the game have been released to the public.

The producer of Yakuza 5, Masayoshi Yokoyama, has indicated that this game is intended to be the San Andreas of its franchise, i.e. a game that dramatically expands on the precedents set in previous games and creates an entirely new experience in the process. Some things remain, like the core gameplay and the fact that the game is a PS3 exclusive, but almost everything else is being rebuilt from the ground up.

The intent of the developers is to include five complete cities in Yakuza 5 – if you’ve played any of the previous titles, Yokoyama indicated that each city will be similar in scale to Sotenbori or Ryuku. He likens the development process to creating five games at the same time, and I wouldn’t doubt him for a second – cities are very hard to build.

There’s still not much info regarding when Yakuza 5 will actually hit shelves, but for now you can assume it’s quite a ways away. Late 2012 or early 2013 are probably the best-case scenarios.

But, it looks like the game that does land will be a more powerful, more interesting and more impressive version of the franchise.

What do you think about Yakuza’s extended development time? Worth it, or too long to wait?

Angry Birds Studio Expands to China

Posted Oct 20, 2011 at 1:28PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: angry birds, China, rovio

The developer of the runaway mobile gaming hit has chosen Shanghai as the location for its first international expansion, and the decision was no accident.

If you follow the statistics in the iTunes store or the general mobile games marketplace, it’s pretty obvious that one game is still dominating the rest – Angry Birds. The simple, quick and fun gameplay (so familiar to those of us that played games before we owned phones) caught on something fierce, and has turned Rovio into one of the most powerful forces in mobile gaming.

Now Rovio is looking to expand its opportunities in one of the most rapidly growing sectors in the world – China. The Angry Birds game is already a success in China, with 40 million downloads and counting, but Rovio hopes to capitalize on other opportunities offered by the nation.

Peter Vesterbacka, Chief Marketing Officer for Rovio, had this to say on the potential of the Chinese market:

"Rovio chose Shanghai as the first location for an international office because of its uniqueposition as one of the most creative and technologically advanced cities in the world, and also because Rovio wants to show its appreciation to Chinese fans by serving them even better locally.”

One market Rovio is especially hoping to penetrate is that of the “feature” phone, which is industry speak for any phone that doesn’t run off an advanced OS like Android or Apple’s iOS. According to China Daily, which broke the story, there are over a billion mobile phone users in China and almost all of those users still possess a basic feature phone.

This is a largely untapped market, and jumping in early will give Rovio the ability to line itself up as one of China’s premiere game developers. They’re already talking about acquiring smaller studios, so perhaps we’re witnessing the birth of a titan.

Are you a fan of Angry Birds? I’ve known the joy of smashing a few buildings since obtaining my iPad.

Blizzard to hold tour of event gaming in China?

Posted Oct 11, 2011 at 7:03AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Blizzard, China, NetEase

We all know how tough it is to break into China's gaming industry. That's why when word leaks out of a supposed event by none other than WoW-makers, Blizzard, tongues are sure to be set wagging.

According to the insider, a local gaming event hosted by Blizzard, along with their Chinese partner NetEase, willl be held in over 10 cities in the country. Details remain to be very scarce, but it is also believed that Heart of the Swarm and Diablo III will also be present at the event, probably to ease their welcome into the Chinese territory.

If this does pan out, then it's going to be a huge milestone for Blizzard, considering all that drama that went down with China on World of Warcraft in the past. Nonetheless, it's undoubted that the Chinese love their WoW. See, even their prisoners are reportedly gold farming inside their prisons.

Shadows of the Damned ESRB rating explained

Posted Mar 27, 2011 at 2:58AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Xbox 360, PS3 Tags: Grasshopper Manufacture, shadows of the damned, suda51

Shadows of the Damned got an M rating from the ESRB, and while it did not exaclty come as a surprise, it would still be nice to know what ESRB thought of it.

So said the ratings board:

"This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of Garcia Hotspur, a demon hunter who must retrieve his kidnapped girlfriend from Hell. Players use a former demon that can transform into various weapons (e.g., pistols, torches, shotguns, machine guns) to kill demonic creatures in underworld cities. Combat is highlighted by loud cries of pain, realistic gunfire, and large explosions.

The violence is often accompanied by blood effects: large blood splashes occur when enemies are hit, and some demons explode into bloody gibs when killed; cutscenes also depict the decapitation of boss creatures, resulting in fountain-like sprays of blood. In one level, players can view a handful of strip club–themed billboards (e.g., ‘Strippers,’ ‘Sex Parade’).

In another sequence, a giant female character gyrates while cupping her exposed breasts; moaning sounds can be heard in the background. The words ‘f**k,’ ‘sh*t,’ and ‘d*ck’ can be heard in the dialogue.

No wonder it got what it got. Shadows of the Damned comes out for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, thanks to Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture.

Shadows of the Damned got an M rating from the ESRB, and while it did not exaclty come as a surprise, it would still be nice to know what the ratings board board thought of it.

Games writer: video game storytelling can beat films

Posted Feb 2, 2011 at 3:36PM EST by Glenn M. Listed in: PSP, Wii, PS3, MMORPG, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PC Gaming, iPhone, iPad Tags: deus ex: human revolution, news

Movie and video games are often placed side-by-side as forms of entertainment, but the former usually gets more glory. The two media both have their own story-telling capacities, but a lot of people would still put movies first, while video games still carry stereotypes. Not for Mary De Marle, who believes that video games can surpass movies in that regard.
