A demo for The King of Fighters XIII is now available on Xbox LIVE, but PS3 gamers will have to wait until next week, the 12th of December, to test their fighting skills.
The adult adventure game Catherine has officially been stamped with a European release date. Although we already knew the game would be hitting shelves in February, developer Atlus had not shared information of the exact date with us…until now that is.
Gamers with a penchant for quirky limited editions will want to take a good look at publisher Deep Silver’s recently announced ‘Stray Sheep Edition’ for adult adventure Catherine.
The game will be released in European territories sometime during February next year, and for £15 extra (i.e. £55) you can pick up the limited edition of Catherine on either PS3 or Xbox 360.
Catherine has been a huge success for developer Atlus thus far, with over half a million copies sold since it was released in Japan and the US earlier this year.
Fortunately this quirky title for PS3 and Xbox 360 will also be making its way to European territories next year thanks to Dead Island publisher Deep Silver. The game was recently pegged for a February release, with the exact date to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
A demo for The Cursed Crusade is now available on Xbox LIVE. The demo allows you to enjoy some of the two player co-operative adventure that the game promises to deliver.
Developer Frozenbyte has revealed a new game mode for Trine 2, the upcoming co-operative physics-based action-platformer.
The new game mode is called Unlimited Mode, and allows you and your friends to “use any variation of the three heroes that you might want.”
Demon’s Souls has one of the most active and passionate online communities on the PlayStation Network, yet publisher Atlus was originally intending to shut down the game’s servers as early as next month in order to save on operation and maintenance costs.
The good news for fans of Demon’s Souls ingenious online component is that Atlus has suddenly changed its tune and announced that it’ll keep the game’s servers running until 2012 at the very least.
Atlus and Frozenbyte have released a new trailer for Trine 2, the upcoming co-operative physics-based action-platformer.
The last couple of days have seen a number of significant PS Vita announcements, but the most important of these if you’re a fan of RPGs has got to be the news that Atlus is embellishing Persona 4 for Sony’s hot new handheld.
Catherine, a genre-crossing puzzle-platform adventure game from Atlus, will finally find its way into North America next week as it releases on July 26th in the region, but the game has until now not had a very bright future in Europe.
Have you been itching to discover what the ‘mysterious’ game from Atlus, Catherine, is all about? Is it a modern-day Q-bert, comprising only block-based platform puzzles? Or is there more to it than that? Is there a lot more to it than that?
You really shouldn’t be scratching your head in confusion because you could read our preview of Catherine to find out what you need to know, but if you need to get your hands on the game you can make your way to the North American Xbox LIVE Marketplace and download an 845 MB demo, which has just gone live.
It’s not often that a console game confronts adult issues head-on but that’s precisely what the upcoming PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title Catherine does.
Infidelity, deceit, mid-life crises, fear of marriage and having children, and tough ‘grown-up’ decisions are at the heart of Catherine’s narrative, which is certainly a change of pace from Atlus’ teen-focused Persona series.
You’ve probably seen dozens of video game trailers in your lifetime, but the first official trailer for the English version of Catherine is sure to stand out from the crowd.
Last month I mentioned Atlus was asking fans to submit YouTube video responses to a few personal questions on relationships. Its intention was to use this fan feedback in an upcoming trailer for the game.
You can watch the product of this unique approach below, and towards the end of the trailer you’ll be treated to some scenes from the game with the English voice overs in full flow:
A large part of Catherine’s gameplay involves moving blocks around so you can climb to the top of a tower before it collapses. Each tower’s apex is your ticket to a safe exit from the central character Vincent’s nightmares.
It seems certain sections of these block puzzles caused many Japanese gamers a great deal of frustration. An Atlus representative speaking to Gamespot has confirmed that the gameplay in the North American version of Catherine has been tweaked or “rebalanced” to make life a little easier for U.S. players.
The first set of screenshots for the English version of Catherine has been released, and thankfully the screen capturers had the foresight to enable subtitles so our interest in this intriguing title could be piqued further still.
