The former PS2 game now has an HD version in development.
During Sony's Pre-TGS press conference, Square Enix revealed the development of an HD version of Final Fantasy X for the game's tenth anniversary. The game, announced on stage by producer Shinji Hashimoto, is in the early stages of development, so Square Enix did not release any assets to coincide with this announcement.
The system will be released in Japan later this year.
Sony announced tonight at their TGS 2011 conference that the PlayStation Vita will see release this year in Japan. Come December 17, Japanese players will be getting their hands on the new Sony handheld. According to Famitsu, the system will launch with Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Armies From Hell from Square Enix, but at the time of press, no other launch titles are currently known.
While it didn't make an appearance at last night's conference, Nintendo did officially reveal and detail it on their website.
It was expected that Nintendo would detail the new 3DS Circle Pad Attachment peripheral during their press conference last night. It was also speculated that the peripheral would be something Monster Hunter specific, designed and created by Capcom. Neither held true when Nintendo revealed the peripheral after the conference online last night. Retailing at ¥1,500, the peripheral will be an officially supported add-on and will be available later this year on December 10, alongside the release of Monster Hunter 3 G, which will include support for the peripheral.
Come see Nintendo's 3DS-centric press conference as it happens and join the staff as they discuss the announcements as they happen.
Starting at 11PM EDT tonight, Nintendo's pre-TGS, 3DS-centric press conference can be seen here streaming live! Now that Famitsu has spilled the beans on Monster Hunter 3 G and the second circle pad attachment, it's likely these items will come up during the conference. We'll likely learn if the attachment is just for the game or if Nintendo has bigger plans for the peripheral.
A franchise worth sinking your teeth into
Welcome to PixlBit’s inaugural edition of Missing in Action, a biweekly series that takes a look into the games and franchises of days gone by with an eye for bringing forgotten gems back from the dead.
Two issues ago: Jason mocked the idea of a Circle Pad attachment on the 3DS. This issue? Jason is completely disappointed.
But first, this week there is a bit of discussion on a few other topics: Team Meat! Fox News and "green" games! Rock of Ages!
A bloody good time.
Usually the thought of having to write up a BloodRayne review would induce crippling migraines and the erratic uttering of various four letter words that I can’t type here for obvious reasons; so bad have the previous installments been. But in this particular case I must admit I was intrigued and even a bit excited to get my hands on this particular title. Why you ask? Well because this game was made by WayForward Technologies, the California based developer responsible for bringing Contra back to its roots with Contra 4 on the Nintendo DS.
Available this Fall for the PSP, exclusively through the PlayStation Store.
Available now for the PlayStation 3, with Move support.
Available tomorrow, September 6, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and Wii.
