Even more Aliens RPG concept art
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, News, PC, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Aliens, Aliens RPG, Concept Art, Fan Stuff, Obsidian.
The other day we showed you a couple of images from the now cancelled Aliens RPG. However, apparently a lot more concept art was released on the Obsidian forums about a month ago, just no one reported on it/ realised it.
But here it all is now, including a rather freaky looking ‘Red Queen’ (above):
Twin Sticks EX going into production
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, News, Retro. Tagged with 300 dollars, Twin Sticks EX, Virtual On, XBLA.
Sega has confirmed that Twin Sticks EX are going into production. Last week Sega said that the pre-orderes where going well. It seems they went so well that they got those 1,500 pre-orders before the deadline. The last day to pre-order is on July 2nd.
In other Virtual On news, Sega has launched a page to show off the new update that is coming on July 1st (tomorrow!). This update will add support for online match viewing, let players waiting in lobby watch the match going on, adds a special “Graphic Arrange” feature to the settings menu, brings some slight changes to the light and shadow effects, makes changes to controls, and most importantly fixes bugs that where found in the game.
To get the new update, simply boot the game up. I’m assuming the update will be world wide, but I guess we will find out on July 1st.

Concept artwork for the Aliens RPG has just leaked out on the net. As you could expect from such weird looking concepts for the Aliens, the fans have already started to complain.
Anthony Davis, a developer from Obsidian Entertainment has explained the concept art. Hit the jump to read his statement, further info on the title and see more concept art.
New Resonance of Fate trailer
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, Video. Tagged with End of Eternity, New, Resonance of Fate, Trailer, Tri-Ace.
Here it is, a new trailer for the upcoming RPG, Resonance of Fate. I think alot of turn based loyalist are going to be turned off by the more action packed approach of this title, but I have to say, its looking rather nice.
Now that we have seen more gameplay, can we get excited or should we complain that it isn’t made by Sonic Team?

Obsidian Entertainment no longer working on Aliens RPG
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, News, North America, PC, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Aliens RPG, Canceled, Obsidian Entertainment, Rumor buster.
Awhile back we ran a rumor that the Aliens RPG was dead, it seems that the rumors are true. An admin over at the Obsidian forum has confirmed our worse nightmares, the title is no longer in development.
“it is true that we are no longer working on the game, and we wanted to finally announce that officially to everyone who has been following its development.”
I guess we shouldn’t be too sad, since there is going to be plenty of Alien games coming out next year, though I wish all of them weren’t shooters. I was very excited in playing a horror Space RPG set in the Aliens universe. At least we still have Alpha Protocol, which is set to release in October of this year.
Sega have also made a comment, confirming that the game is no longer in production.
“”At this point, SEGA has no plans to move forward with the Aliens RPG,”
Well, developer and publisher have confirmed the rumors, so now we can move on. Even though I might be disappointed by the news, I’m glad they actually came out and confirmed it was canceled, unlike other Sega games that just disappear.

Have some new Resonance of Fate screens
Posted by George. Filed under George, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, Sony PlayStation 3, Worldwide. Tagged with End of Eternity, In Game, Resonance of Fate, Screenshots, Tri-Ace.
Here are 11 new Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity in Japan) screens, apparently even numbers are out this season. Some of the screens (most) where featured in the Famitsu scans posted a few days ago.
The new screens show off how the battles will look and a dog in a jacket, no seriously, take a look.

New Resonance of Fate famitsu scans
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with End of Eternity, Famitsu, Information, New, Resonance of Fate, Scans.
For those of you who don’t know, Resonance of Fate is the Western release title of End of Eternity, a new tri-Ace RPG.
The game has a new preview in the latest Famtisu magazine, detailing some new info. Sort of hard to get all the info, since I don’t know Japanese and I can’t read the article. But what I do know is that the girl in the first couple pages of the scan is called Reanbell. The other thing reveled in the scans is a new local called Abel City.
Something that I noticed in the scans is that the characters have more than one outfit in the set of screenshots in the scans. This is something that you don’t typically see in alot of video games.
Sega of Japan has said this is one of their big “quality titles” being released late 2009 in Japan, around the same time that Final Fantasy XIII is being released. The game better be as good as they say and have a big marketing push, since Final Fantasy brand has swallowed sales of other RPGs that have been released around the same time, not to mention this is a new IP.

Virtual On Twin Sticks EX pre-orders are going well
Posted by George. Filed under George, Japan, Microsoft Xbox 360. Tagged with 300 bucks, Hori, Twin Sticks EX, Virtual On.
Sega has just updated their Virtual On blog, giving us some insight on how the pre-orders are going. The update says they are doing well, but they can’t say if they will reach the 1,500 pre-order mark they set, at least not yet.
The blog post had a Q&A with Mr. Okami from Hori, the manufacture that is making the Twins Sticks EX. He stated that the last day to pre-order the sticks will be on July 2nd, so we will find out on July 2nd if the sticks will hit production (or soon after). He stated that there is a chance that they will ship more (after first shipment), if demand is there.
What did you play this weekend? [#2]
Posted by Graham. Filed under G, Microsoft Xbox 360, Multi-platform, News, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3. Tagged with Fun Stuff, Let's Tap, Need for Speed, Prope, Prototype, Resistance: Fall of Man, What Did You Play This Weekend.
Bringing back the “What are you playing this weekend” feature, but with a slight change. Rather than asking the question on the Friday before you play the game(s), we are now asking after the weekend - which frankly makes much more sense.
It’s just for fun really, we tell you what games we have been playing - give some brief opinions on them, and then you can tell us what you have been playing too. You could help people avoid some potentially bad titles, or suggest some unknown gems.
Whatever the case let us know; What did you play this weekend?
