Persona 5 Continues to Impress, But is Also Delayed

Atlus has released a new trailer for Persona 5 and it looks incredible. The trailer was shown off at Tokyo Game Show where Atlus also announced that the game has been pushed into 2016.

The setting takes place in a big city, which is more than likely Tokyo. In the trailer, we really get to see some of the gameplay and activities you may do throughout the game like martial art training or turning into cats…yea, I said that right. The trailer is also filled with some of the things you will do outside of your daily student life routine such as battling demons with you persona.

Atlus continues to be very quiet about P5 as far as the story goes, but it looks like you are some type of costumed, demon fighting world traveler judging from the opening cinematic and the trailer as a whole. Hopefully we will get an English version soon. Check out the trailer below.

Expect Persona 5 sometime in  2016.

It’s finally here again gamers! It’s the weekend and I hope you are able to get plenty of game time in.

I will be continuing my journey in Metal Gear Solid V I’m still pretty early in the game, for the most part. Between missions I always end up doing all of the side-ops, and upgrading everything I can, and just goofing off in Afghanistan. Something tells me that I will be playing this game for quite a while. I will also be playing Heroes of the Storm, of course. Hopefully, if I have enough playing time, I will stream as well.

That’s enough about me, what about you? What are you playing this weekend?

Come to the Dark Side With This Darth Vader Inspired PS4

/ Jeff Jones / Leave a comment

 

The system will be available November 17th and will be available in two different bundles. For the hardcore gamers, you can pick up the Star Wars: Battlefront bundle. If you want the system with a more family friendly game, then you can pick up the Disney Infinity 3.0 bundle.  

The system itself has a 500gb hdd and comes with a custom themed controller as well. If you’re a huge Star Wars fan and in the market for a PS4 later this year, this is the one to get. I, for one, would at least like the controller. Check out Playstation Blog for more info on the bundles.

This trailer shows off the gameplay and the grand scale of things to come in the latest iteration of the hard as hell Souls series. Straight from the Bandai-Namco Youtube page:

“Dark Souls III continues to push the boundaries with the latest, ambitious chapter in critically-acclaimed and genre-defining series. As fires fade and only embers remain, journey once more into a world filled with more daunting and colossal enemies and environments. Players will be immersed into a world of epic atmosphere and darkness through faster gameplay and amplified combat intensity. New to the series are the Battle Arts attacks. You’ll be able to deliver powerful attacks that will break through enemy defenses. Each weapon will have its own unique Battle Arts.”

We can expect Dark Souls 3 early 2016. Check out the video below.

Vega Returns in Street Fighter V

“Let my beauty intoxicate you.”

The Spanish ninja makes his return to the series. Vega is one of the 8 original world warriors and seems deadlier than ever.

Vega looks to play differently, yet the same, this time around. The Flying Barcelona, his signature move, is still part of his move set, but he seems so much more stylish this time around. He is a matador and with his play style in SFV, Capcom seems to have really captured the elegance and grace of a matador with the spins Vega does during his combos. Just because he moves so smoothly, doesn’t mean the Spaniard isn’t just as deadly. He can be seen throwing a barrage of claw slashes during his deadly combos in the video below.

With the latest edition of Vega, that brings the current roster up to 9 characters. It’s to see you back Vega.
