New Video Game Releases – June 12 – June 18

Michael Futter writes: We’re finally starting to recover from a whirlwind E3 2012 filled with exciting new game announcements and rapidly approaching major releases (yes, I would very much like to play XCOM: Enemy Unknown right now). However, while some of those games are a bit of a wait, this week has some solid entries.

Lollipop Chainsaw looks interesting, but not $60 interesting. Looking forward to reading reviews.

Cataract4334d ago

Another week of slim pickings, it seems.

Although I'm really happy to see Pikmin 2 come out for the Wii with updated controls. I know original GameCube copies are relatively expensive so this could potentially bring down the price of that although I find that unlikely. It will make the game much more readily available to gamers, so that's always a plus!

Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii to play it on. I think I'm just biding my time until I can get one for about $50 or so and then go crazy on cheap games.

Lollipop Chainsaw is a day one purchase, for sure.

Sony is hosting its traditional conference just before the 2024 International CES in Las Vegas. Of course, PlayStation played a part in the celebrations.

Forget Gravity Rush movie, give us another GR game!

porkChop105d ago

I didn't even know a movie was coming. If they can get the visuals and everything right I'll watch it.

Barlos105d ago

I didn't either, until this article. I'm also surprised, since GR was a commercial flop. Seems weird that they'd want to invest money into making it into a film.

I think the games are great though, especially on Vita. I think the move to PS4 killed the experience a little, but I'd still like to see a new one.

1Victor104d ago

I didn’t know it was in development ether but it makes sense after they saw the first doctor strange movie and the far from home fight, if it’s like that’s it’s going to be one of those Oscar nominees

GR movie and shutting Japan Studio.. so stupid

porkChop104d ago

@Cacabunga

Oh yeah... Well there goes any hope for a new game. Shuttering Japan Studio was a really bad decision.

Surely you’d think if the movie is coming so is another game

And I couldn’t be happier.

Only played the demo of gr2 but let me say it’s one of the most artistic and inventive new games. Ps5 will power gr3 to new heights
Fingers crossed

Made my day hearing this.

Finally, something innovative

Redemption-64105d ago

GR2 flopped, which would they make a new game? A movie has more appeal and a successful hit at the bix office, could lead to a new game for the franchise

ChasterMies105d ago

Ok, I’ll stop sitting on Gravity Rush 2. It’s been in my library for only 8 years.

Chocoburger105d ago

Play Gravity Rush Remastered first if you haven't already, the stories are linked together. GR 2 is a fantastic game, it has a lot of stuff to see and do. In fact I have purposefully not completed the game 100% because I simply didn't want the game to end. I still have some trophies to collect, and a whole free story DLC chapter to play through.

Gravity Rush 3 would be amazing! But the team that made parts 1 and 2 were shut down, so I don't expect it to happen. This was Jim Ryan's biggest sin of all, shutting down PlayStation Japan Studios. What a shame.

FinalFantasyFanatic104d ago

Why not both? I really like the games and was disappointed we didn't get a third game to finish off the story, but I wouldn't mind a movie either if it's well done. Maybe it'll drum up enough interest to get us that third game.

damn that is aaalot of ppl

id rather have another Gravity Rush game than a movie tbh

DarXyde105d ago

Same. This series really resonates with my gaming spirit. I love these games so much that I got four platinums out of two games. I was always dreading that we would never get another game after Japan Studio's closure, but I'm feeling hopeful in them not giving up on the franchise with this move. My guess is that they're going to use this as a funding point

MrNinosan105d ago

That is the same amount as daily loading screens... never mind

Lollipop chainsaw now a remaster not a remake

At fans request apparently.

gold_drake192d ago

i wonder if they looked into what a remake would cost and went "NOPE Remaster it is" haha

FreeckyCake192d ago

It probably has to do with what the producer had mentioned recently. The thing about not wanting to change the essence of the original (e.g censorship). So maybe remastering the game was the best choice.

CrimsonWing69191d ago

The link to the story didn’t really answer the question. It makes no sense that you have to censor a remake and not a remaster.

What I got from that article is licensed music forced them to change to a Remake(?) and that they’re working hard with the platform holders to negotiate not censoring, which Sony is stupid about.

My question is, how would a Remaster not have to go through censorship?

I’ve seen dialogue changed in FF7 and Baten Kaitos. Then you have actual cutscenes being removed like in the dmc remaster.

I assume the same could be done to this game.

FreeckyCake191d ago

No idea. That's why I said " maybe ".

CrimsonWing69191d ago

Bull sh*t, you show me where fans wanted a Remaster instead of a Remake. I was more onboard with a Remake, I’m less excited just playing the same game I did before but now with sharper textures and better framerate.

ModsDoBetter191d ago

Probably realised this won't do the numbers so didn't want to invest.

No harm, I love Lollipop Chainsaw but it's a bit of a niche title.

gold_drake191d ago

yeh it was super niche even bk then

LoveSpuds191d ago (Edited 191d ago )

Loved it back in the day and have my copy sat on the shelf and ypu are right, it was super niche, which is why my copy is increasing in value slowly but surely. Hoping a remaster doesn't tank the value of my PS3 copy
