video details and more

I'm guessing some of you might've caught the MashTactics livestream of Saints Row The Third in which they gave away stuff and probably did some things. I was supposed to be in attendance with my giant purple dildo, but we had to do Skyrim-related things.

If you're still in the market for some Saints Row The Third mayhem, you might like this video. Our producer Zac Minor and I stayed late at the office the other night and caused a little ruckus in the city of Steelport. Also, I got pretty drunk because I had to do a shot every time my wanted level went up.

(Don't drink and do whatever the hell I'm doing in this video.)

Sony confirms Jak and Daxter collection for PlayStation 3 screenshot

We can't get enough of last generation's games, it seems. Up next to receive a high-def collection is the beloved Jak and Daxter series.

Following prior rumors about such a retail package, and Siliconera's finding of a USK rating for Jak & Daxter Trilogy Edition, Sony has given a confirmation to Game Informer. "We can confirm the Jak and Daxter Collection is coming and will have more news to share shortly," a spokesperson responded.

Everyone has that one series which somehow slipped them by, and for me, that'd be Jak and Daxter. I've ordered Chad to scream like a schoolgirl in my absence.

Sony Prepping Jak And Daxter Collection

post from Press The Buttons on 09 November 2011 10:35:44 PM. © Press The Buttons

Naughty Dog's big franchise prior to Uncharted and following Crash Bandicoot has to be the Jak & Daxter series from the Sony PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable days. Can you believe that the tenth anniversary of the original Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy is next month? Has it really been that long? Surely a game this old from the PS2 era is due for a modernized high definition PlayStation 3 remake compilation treatment in the spirit of God of War Collection and The Sly Collection. IGN confirms word from Sony that such a collection is on the way for...

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review - Coming Soon screenshot

Thursday, November 10, 8:01 Eastern.

Is Bethesda's hotly anticipated RPG everything gamers have hoped for an more? Is it a case of Dovahkiin or Doo-Doo Skin? Dragonborn or Drag Queen Porn? Skyrim or ... or ... A Fly's Jism? Or something like that.

Who knows?

Well, I know, but I'm not telling. At least not until tomorrow morning.

Now if you'll excuse me, some of the Jarl's men came passing through and they left this bounty. There's some dragon asshole on a mountain that I've got to kill. See you later!

BioWare drops some more Mass Effect 3 co-op
details

BioWare drops some more Mass Effect 3 co-op details screenshot

For those genuinely enthusiastic to play Mass Effect 3 cooperatively -- or anyone hoping to find further reasons to care about it -- BioWare has publicized more details about the mode, by way of an interview with itself. Not all of the information is new per se, but there are a few items of interest.

Local co-op "is definitely on the table as something we might add," says producer Jesse Houston. Kinect support is out for multiplayer, as is friendly fire (hooray!) -- though the latter could potentially be introduced "later as some sort of modifier to the game, but not at release."

And in case you're worried about any of this stuff going away due to server-related costs, worry not. BioWare has a plan in place. "We won’t be taking the servers down until we realize that there aren’t enough players playing to warrant keeping them up and when we do take them down, we will make sure there are options so the players who are playing don’t feel abandoned."

Japanese Idol Group 'Idoling' in the next PSP
Yakuza game

We know that a couple of months ago, Sega's Yakuza studio announced two new games in the franchise. One of those being Yakuza 5 which is in early development, and is something the studio aren't willing to talk much about right now. The other is the upcoming sequel to the PSP spin-off series Black Panther, namely Black Panther 2: Fighting Demon Chapter.

It doesn't come out until Summer 2012, but that doesn't stop Yakuza producer and director Toshihiro Nagoshi from strutting his stuff and getting the party started, starting with the now customary revelation of the cabaret idols for the game.

From left to right we have Ms. Yurika Tachibana, Ms. Mai Endo, and Ms. Erika Tonooka. These girls are actually three members of "Idoling!!!" -- a massive Idol group run by Japanese TV station Fuji TV. Check out all its members here, and see if Nagoshi made the right choice in these three.

Speaking of Nagoshi, he wasn't there just to pose with the girls, but was able to quickly answer a couple of questions about the game. Asked whether the Cabaret section has expanded since previous entries, he replied that, "the girls now look cuter than before, and by incorporating them into [in game] events, there is a smoother flow in [plot] development."

Next he was asked how the drama element of the game was coming along. Although Nagoshi said he received comments in past that the drama in his games was considerably long, he chuckled when revealing that wouldn't really change in this game. "Though the city will be the same Soutenbori from Yakuza 2, this is overwhelmingly prettier depiction than the PS2 version, showing the progression technology has made six years since that game, although there will be new hardware out soon," he stated with a wry smile.

He was then queried about the battle system where an ally can now fight with you, though Nagoshi states that it varies depending on the scenarios and which ally is with you at the time. Furthermore, an additional feature is present where curious onlookers may help you, but conversely may also turn against you. There's also some fun to be had with forming alliances with certain characters. He says that they are trying to produce a type of game "where you break down walls, and every time you break one down, more and more enemies are thrown in your path." He also argues that their battle system is one that will be very fluid, whilst requiring precision and accuracy, and give a sense of satisfaction when connecting with enemies.

Finally he was asked how the development progress is going, where after briefly mentioning wondering what tracks to choose for its soundtrack, his overall answer was "smoothly." For more pictures of the girls, and their pixelated counterparts, check out the gallery on the Dengeki site. Apart from that, I'll leave you with Idoling's latest single for you to cringe over. Or drool over. Whatever takes your fancy.
