There is alot going on right now, and E3 is still a lil ways away. Of course isnt always like this? The floodgates open before their suppose to. Ive rounded up some of the stories that caught my attention.
For those of us that have waited for this to hit Sony consoles, our wait isnt too terriably long. Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is to hit PS3 and PS4 come Aug 19th and will apparently be bundled with 2 DLC packs. Im kind of hpeing for DLC themed on playstation characters. Ill def be buying on the PS4.
The rumors of a new Mortal Kombat game keep getting worse and not mention recent actions are feeding the fire for it. The above picture was posted along with new dragon logo to the MK page on facebook. My guess is we are either getting a new game, a next gen MK 9, or a spin off game. IGN also posted a video about a poster being leaked, here's a link to said vid http://youtu.be/Mgm4K6iVt7o
The Evil Within recently got pushed back to Oct 21th from its Aug release date. Apparently the game still needs some polishing and they feel that the Aug launch date would not be a good time for the game.
The next Harvest Moon game isnt gonna be called Harvest Moon. Apparently Natsume will not be over it this time aroud. It was given to Xseed and since Natsume technically owns the title Harvest Moon the name has been changed to Story of Seasons. It will launch this fall on 3DS.
October works better for a horror game release anyway.
October does but with all the recent delays its not making some too happy.
I got the press release about Story of Seasons yesterday. Marvelous makes the Harvest Moon games in Japan, and now that XSEED is a wholly subsiduary of Marvelous, they can publish all of Marvelous' games here in the US. But they can't call it Harvest Moon because Natsume owns that name. So they are going to give it the directly translated Japanese name of Farm Story: Story of Seasons. I kind of feel bad for Natsume, though. Harvest Moon was their claim to fame, and I wonder what they'll do now. Natsume has always been very supportive in my game reviewing career, so I hope this change won't hinder them much.
Im a bit worried about it myself but i think natsume will be okay. They do pretty well on their own. I know Hometown Story didnt do so hot, atleast I read it didnt. I think if they continue Homestown Story if they work on some of its short comings it would be a good game series.
I was wondering about PvZGW thinking I wouldn't like it but I just watched a video of the co-op mode and now I'm on board. This mode is just like the 2D game but in 3D. YES!
I liked it from the start of seeing it. Ive been sitting by waiting for the playstation announcements to come along.
At least there's another option available to me if I ever decide to bust open my wallet and give Garden Warfare a shot.
Yup, and to me it was shocking that there were several people on random websites surprised that it was coming to Sony consoles. I dont think a lot of people knew it was just a timid exclusive.
I just watched the video for the new MK X and I'm not impressed. I'm hoping the actual gameplay will be better but as of right now, it looks like a dud to me.
