Following on from their previous coverage, Famitsu have released a new promo on their site for the upcoming Lord of Elemental II: Revelation of Evil God. The promo not only shows footage from the new game but also the re-make of the prior DS port (that in turn was a port of the original SNES game). Overall, both games are looking good. The full promo is available below.

Videos: Latest Steel Battalion Gameplay Trailer

Posted on : 26-10-2011 | By : | In : Videos

A brand new trailer for Steel Battalion Heavy Armor has surfaced, doing its best to emphasise the dual nature of the game’s controls (as in a mixture of pad and Kinect). The trailer does a good job of showing how this stuff looks like in game but until we get our hands on (or floating in the case of Kinect) with the game we’ll reserve judgement on whether it will actually work out or not. If we’re honest we still hanker for a massive and complex controller as per the original Xbox games, but what with the current publisher mandate of assuming that all gamers are fickle useless idiots I doubt we’ll see anything quite that awesome for a long time to come.

Videos: FreQuency Live “Cosmos”

In a new video via From Software’s official YouTube channel, it shows the newly formed band FreQuency (headed by Kota Hoshino) performing a live version of Cosmos from Armored Core For Answer. Whilst they get off to a bit of a shaky start they pull it together pretty quickly. For those curious, this is done to promote a new album called Armored Core Reprises that’s released tomorrow.

News: Lost Heroes Announced

Famitsu has a nice update about a rather interesting genre crossover game. Titled Lost Heroes, it features the likes of Ultraman, Kamen Rider and…Gundam. Notably that of the RX-93 ν Gundam, which is a bit of an odd choice as you’d think the original RX-78-2 would be more fitting in a setup such as this. Not that we’re complaining though, as the RX-93 is one of our favourite mobile suits in the UC timeline. In terms of the game itself, it looks to be a pretty standard turn based strategy affair. No details on a price as yet but the release is expected sometime next year.

News: Danball Senki Boost Announced

At the recent Level 5 World 2011 event a new entry into the Danball Senki series was announced, that of Danball Senki Boost. Still on the PSP it looks to be more of the same and continuing the narrative around the mysterious LBX mecha. From pretty extensive LBX customisation to some nice battling action, the first game was pretty damn decent and this looks to continue that. 4Gamer has some nice new screenshots of the game and a new promo video (shown below) was released recently too. Weirdly it’s set for a pretty quick release, on November 23rd, so Level 5 are pretty confident it won’t get buried in terms of competing PR. You’ll also be able to either buy the game in UMD format for 4,980 yen or download it at 4,480 yen.

News: SD Gundam Generation 3D Site Update

The upcoming SD Gundam Generation 3D received a site update a few days ago, with some new in-game movies as well as some new unit updates. The latter was entirely from Gunpla Builders however, pictured above, so make that what you will. The in-game footage looks good though and whilst we’re obviously unable to judge the usage of 3D, the core graphics look solid. Admittedly they aren’t as shiny as SRWZ2’s, but nothing really is to be fair. We’ve included the original full length PV below though.

Updated: Game Watch has a nice new update on the game too.

The official Armored Core V site has been updated with a new section on the recently announced order matches for the singleplayer as well as a slew of very sexy new screenshots. To clarify on how awesome the singleplayer is looking for the game, check out some Gamescom footage (in HD no less) below.

Along with a slew of other kits at the 51st All Japan Model & Hobby Show, with the Nineball still being suitably lovely, the awesome Blaster from Super Robot Wars Z 2 Hakai Hen will finally get a kit based rendition. This is also being handled Kotobukiya, so expected highly affordable sculpted awesomeness. In terms of price, no details as yet but it’s scheduled for release sometime next year (probably to coincide with the second PSP game on the way).

News: Gundam AGE game announced

What with the first episode of Level 5’s Gundam AGE airing last night, it was shortly followed by a not overly surprising announcement; that a PSP game will accompany the series. Set for release next year, it will be an RPG that covers a 100 years of history within the new universe. Considering this is Level 5 we’re talking about, this game obviously won’t be a crappy hack job. In addition, after the likes of the excellent Danball Senki, it’s clear they can get a lot out of the PSP too. The announcement advert is below and it also shows a bit of in-game footage, something that doesn’t look too shabby either.

News: SD Gundam Generation 3D Update

As announced at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, SD Gundam Generation 3D is still on track for its December 22nd release date. The official site has also been kept up to date, with the new “Archive” section showing off the roster of series the game will feature. Of note are the addition of the upcoming Gundam AGE and Gunpla Builders. Much like the Super Robot Wars games, this series is unsurprisingly solely focused on Gundam. In all honesty, we’re not overly fond of the SD Gundam games but this does look suitably nice and since playing through Gundam The 3D Battle we have a hankering for some more 3D Gundam gaming.
