Yakuza 0: English “Goro Majima” Trailer

InTheSky October 25, 2016 Leave a reply

SEGA has produced the next main character trailer for Yakuza 0 , featuring the secondary protagonist and fan favorite Goro Majima.

Yakuza 0 is going to be an exciting game for Majima. As we all know, the Majima of Yakuza 0 is a very different man compared to the rest of the mainline games. In the preview trailer, we see a man who was tortured by the Yakuza and lost his eye, saying such things as he’s been “ready to die” for a long time. What we see in Yakuza 0 is a subdued Goro Majima, one who is sensitive and sedate. His story will be a journey from this man, to the Mad Dog we all know and love.

Watch the trailer below! And view an excerpt of SEGA’s press statement on the video!

Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live 1st Stage Review (PlayStation VR)

Draikin October 16, 2016 1 Reply

Back in June 2015, SEGA first unveiled its “SEGA feat. HATSUNE MIKU Project: VR Tech DEMO”, for Project Morpheus. That tech demo turned into an actual game, called Hatsune Miku; VR Future Live, which was released a few days ago as a launch title for PlayStation VR. It’s not the first time that SEGA has tried to replicate the feel of a live Hatsune Miku concert. In Hatsune Miku; Project DIVA F 2nd, the Studio mode allowed you to view a “live” performance as well, from different camera angles. In Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, some of the Event Requests were in front of a “live” audience that sang along with the tunes at times. But these never came close to recreating the feel of an actual Hatsune Miku concert.

SEGA of America has released the launch trailer for Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live, which was released earlier today in the Americas and Europe.

A demo is available as well, containing one song (Weekender Girl). The full version of Stage 1 contains 7 songs in total. For more information, check out our previous article.

Today marks the launch of PlayStation VR, and that also means that Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live is now also available worldwide. I’m currently playing the game, and you can expect my first impressions in an article later today. A free demo is available as well on the PlayStation Store, which includes the song “Weekender Girl”. Meanwhile, Sega has also announced that the 2nd stage for Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live will be released on November 10 in Japan. We also get a few new screenshots of the new stage, which you can view below. As you can see, the 2nd stage will also include Rin, Len and Luka (the 1st Stage features Miku only). Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X should also have been updated to support VR in its Concert Editor mode, but it doesn’t appear to be active yet on my US copy of the game.

Valkyria: Azure Revolution’s Blum and Helena Featured in New Video

Draikin October 7, 2016 Leave a reply

As part of a Twitter campaign, where people are asked to guess the identity of Helena and Blum’s voice actors, SEGA of Japan has released a new video featuring an in-game cutscene from the game. The developers noted that this scene isn’t representative of the game’s final quality, and it’s a good thing they stated as much as the scene looks very rough indeed, with limited character animation and awkward looking characters (Helena in particular).

In addition, the Tokyo Game Show presentation of the game has also been uploaded to SEGA’s YouTube channel, which shows the battle against Brunhild that’s playable in the demo. You can view the videos below.

A new character preview video for Yakuza 0 has been released to IGN’s YouTube channel, featuring the second protagonist of the game: Goro Majima.
