Tales of Hearts R coming west!
While it could be a video that leaked out before time, Tales of-series producer Hideo Baba has confirmed that Tales of Hearts R will be released in the west!
Bandai Namco but up a video on their YouTube channel but marked it as private pretty fast, but thanks for the internet folks who are fast. We still have the video too watch.
About a week ago GameStop in the US, put up a preorder for this game. With it coming in winter 2014, so its great to get a confirmation of it really coming. I am really looking forward to this game, will have to get a hold of a new PlayStation Vita for this game. As soon as there is more info, I and other Tales of-fans will share it!

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark + trailer
Activision just announced a new Transformers game, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. It seems like the game is a mash-up of the Cybertron games and the movie-verse. Something I don’t have any trouble with, nice to see the series melding together a bit. I really do like Optimus Primes new movie look, so awesome! Even if he has a bit to much blue on him, but I’m not gonna whine for that.
There is no date on the game right now, but it will come out this year. Will most certainly be out before or around when Transformers: Age of Extinction has it’s premier. It will be out for the following formats, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC. So you can get it on just about any console of your choosing.
If it’s just as good as the Cybertron games, then I’ll be happy as a fiddle. Will probably buy this day one if I can afford it, PS4 version for me!

Lots of Garo stuff in 2014
As some of the people who read here might know, I do enjoy Tokusatsu. Mostly the series that is called Garo, if you have any kind of interest in Japanese live-action stuff, watch it. Season 1 and Season 2 are really good! But I’m afraid I wasn’t all that fond of Garo: The One Who Shines in the Darkness.
It started off slow as hell, got really good in the middle, to just die of completely for me.
Well 2014 seems to be the year for Garo related stuff. Zero who is a Makai Knight in season 1 & 2 will be getting his own series or if its just a special. But it will be around his character at least. That could be really nice, I hope they dwell deeper into that character. I want too know more about him and see what kind of trails he has gone though.
That’s not all, apparently Garo is to become an anime! That was a pretty big surprise for me, but one that could really turn in favor for the show. Really looking forward too see how it will look and get more details on that. It could be really good or it could be crap, but hopefully it will at least be decent. So as I said, I sure hope we get more info on this soon! I want to know who is animating it, what it looks like and how mature the series will be.
But the one thing I am mostly looking forward too is Garo: Makai No Hana. It will be a squeal to the season 1 and season 2 and will star Raiga Saejima, the son of Kouga Saejima. Raiga has taken over the mantel of Garo, just like Kouga did from his father. So that’s going to be nice to see and the best part of it is, that the director from the first Garo season will be doing this series! So I actually have great hope for this one!

E3 2013: Nintendo
And so it’s time for Nintendo, and what to say about Nintendo? There wasn’t much that had my interest. Super Mario 3D World looked like good old Mario fun. But there where no real megatons for me, no announce or an eventual price-drop.
Well they did say that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD will be released in October, so for all who wants that should really buy it. Even if you don’t want it, buy it.
For me the best things of this Nintendo Direct E3 was the new trailer shown for Monolith Softwares new game “X“. I love those guys for the Xenosaga series and I’ll follow just about anything they do, really looking forward to see more of the game. And hopefully get the name reveal, unless it’s real name is just X. And duh! Bayonetta 2 looked pretty sick! She looked really good in shorter hair, and the game looked as outrageous as the first one. So it will probably be just as good.
And then they showed the new Super Smash Bros for both Wii U and 3DS, it looked like really good fun. But I was a tad disappointed until they showed the NEW CHALLENGER, after that I was more or less sold. So I am greatly looking forward to see more of that game and what new characters will appear in it. It’s… Mega Man!!!

E3 2013: Sony
I was going to make this post right after Sony’s event, but I was too damn tired. Tired but very pleased! While Microsoft seems to have made all the wrong decisions regarding its Xbox One console, Sony has made all the right ones. At least the right ones for us, the consumers in my opinion. I loved seeing this cocky Sony, really ridiculing Microsoft’s console. They have confirmed it will have no Online DRM, or any DRM for that matter. You can buy used games and share them with your friends just like you can today on the PS3 and the console will be region-free. Just just exactly as the PS3 there and for me those are all important stuff.
But that is not all! They won’t be repeating their 599dollars mistake with the Playstation 3, they will launch the console at 399$. Making it 100$ cheaper than the Xbox One.
For me Sony did everything right, well almost everything. They fell a bit on the finish line, but this time I’ll forgive it and actually pay up. But that is only due to all the other positive stuff about the PS4. Online multiplayer won’t be free anymore, you’ll need a Playstation Plus account in order to play online with your friends. Which is a damn shame, if that had been free then Sony would have won flawlessly over Microsoft.
Yeah, sorry to sound like a fanboy. I am not, I like every console. I’m just so tired of all the “wrong” choices Microsoft seems to have made with he Xbox One. Well then, let’s continue on to the games. As just about everyone expected Final Fantasy Versus XIII made it’s appearance and confirmation to be a PS4 game now, and as everyone (?) thought it has been renamed to Final Fantasy XV. Square Enix will also release Final Fantasy XIV on the PS4 also, so I might just check that game out later. But the biggest surprise was, Kingdom Hearts 3!! Hot damn! I did not expect that honestly, that was a great surprise.
Knack is looking like a nice little title and it will be a release game, so I might just get that. I am disappointed that Infamous: Second Son won’t be a release game, I really wanted that game with the console.

E3 2013: Microsoft
So… I just watched Microsoft’s E3 conference, well I wasn’t expecting much. And sadly there was nothing for me there, I think I was most smitten with Project Spark, it looked like a lot of fun. Other than that, I thought it was pretty meh. I was interested in Quantum Break, but it ended so soon and didn’t show much more than a little CG-trailer.
They announced a new revision of the Xbox 360, with a look that is very similar to that of Xbox One. I don’t know if that is very smart, might get a few parents confused. But let’s hope it good and as quite as they said it would be, if they are cheap I might pick one up in the future. There are still some X360 games I would like to play.
Other than that, I didn’t think they had any good surprises. It was mostly FPS or stuff that I have no particular interest in, sure the games where pretty and a few of them looked really nice. But they are just not for me. The Witcher 3 looked great as hell, but I have not played the other two games. Hope to fix that some day, since they look like really great games and I’ve only heard good stuff about them.
Oh, yeah right. Dead Rising 3 looked pretty okay, I’m not sure what to think about it yet. It seemed to be much more serious than it’s predecessors, which I’m not sure if I like. Of course it could just be that specific part in the video that was show, that are like that. But naaa, it didn’t really get me. Maybe I am tired of zombies?
So yeah, I’m not cheering for Xbox One, anytime soon but I just loved the new Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain trailer, my god! I haven’t been this interested in a MGS game since MGS3. So I am definitely looking forward to that.

Tales of Xillia official trailer released
Gamespot has put up a new trailer of Tales of Xillia, so I wanted to share it with people here. God I am so hyped for this game! Just two months away until I can play this game, I am getting really hyped now! So much that I started playing Tales of Graces f again and took a few more trophies in it. Hehe, might go for the platinum trophy. ;)
