Gran Turismo 6 Burns Rubber This Year

The surprising news is that Gran Turismo 6 is set to hit PS3 this year around the end of the year.
Its expected ‘holidays’ arrival window should put the driving sim in stores around a similar time to the PS4.

Multiple sources such as MCV and CVG are stating that the game will feature all cars and tracks from GT5 along with seven new tracks. Brand new cars, tracks and features are also expected to appear as DLC later on. The news comes from a press release that leaked early.

GT6 sees the 15th anniversary of the series. Gran Turismo originally debuted on Playstation in December 1997.

According to series creator Kazunori Yamauchi: “It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo. Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform.”

Chip’s Challenge Spiritual Successor: Chuck’s Challenge 3D

If you remember Chip’s Challenge then hold on to those dentures because you are about to feel old. Over 24 years have passed (feels more like 240 years) since Chip’s key chasing challenge crashed onto the scene and finally a follow up has been announced; Chuck’s Challenge.

The 1989 original appeared on everything from the Commodore 64 and Amiga to DOS but really made a name for itself in the early nineties on Windows. You’d find it next to other addictive time destroying classics like Solitaire, Ski-Free and Minesweeper.

Now Chuck Sommerville – the game designer behind Chip’s Challenge – is making a new puzzle game for Project SHIELD. Chuck’s Challenge 3D is being billed as a 3D puzzle game. The game is due to be released later this year as a launch title for Project SHIELD, which is a handheld that uses a NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor chip. It’s also available in the app store.

I always liked that Chip was such a pathetic nerdy looking guy, New guy Chuck looks like some Gengar looking yeti thing.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies Gets Autumn US & EU Release

Well, today we’ve been served with the new sub-title for Ace Attorney 5, and we’ve got sworn testimony on its release window too.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies is the first 3DS outing for pheeny and friends. The 3 dimensional action offers multiple viewing angles and the choice to zoom in and out during the finger pointing legal battles.

This time rookie attorney Apollo Justice makes a long overdue return to the courtroom while ambitious newcomer Athena Cykes brings her psychic intuition to the litigious missions. 

Apollo? Athena? Capcom are Really committing to the characters with names of Greek/Roman gods beginning with ‘A’ theme.

As previously thought, Athena is the localised name for Kokone Kizuki and she’s more than meets the eye.

Players can use her skills to detect the emotional state of a witness during a trial. Whether they’re surprised, angry, happy or sad their feelings can be compared with the statement given by the witness to help distinguish contradictions.

With the deceit established its then time to challenge the witness testimony and throw around a few Objections! It kind of plays out in a similar fashion to how Maya used her magatama.

Blade Wolf trailer will have Metal Gear fans hungry like the wolf

The second round of story lead Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC is inbound and Konami’s teaser trailer shows off what’s in store for Raiden’s robot rover.

The action follows LQ- 84i’s journey of destruction from prototype pooch to AI accomplice.

From the new footage on offer, the chainsaw based slice and dice combos coupled with a far lower perspective certainly look to give Blade Wolf a different perspective of the action.

3D Sonic The Hedgehog spin dashes onto 3DS

Next week everyone’s favourite blue blur is back in a revamped version of his debut outing for 3DS.

A port of the original Mega Drive/Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog joins the library of extra dimensional 3D classics on the handheld, but only in Japan at present. The game will feature a save state option and adjustable depth as well as adding Sonic’s spin dash ability which originally appeared in Sonic 2.

This isn’t the first Sega classic to get the added depth treatment; Yu Suzuki designed classics Space Harrier and Super Hang-On have also been revamped in this way.

With no news on if and when we’ll see an EU or US port of this version, fans can at least take comfort in the fact that the game is readily available on iOS, Virtual Console and is a free easter egg in console versions of Sonic Generations at least.

Celebrate Resident Evil: Revelations by swimming in a pool of blood

Do you like swimming? Do you like blood? If you said yes to both of those things then hold on to your brain because Capcom are (yes, you guessed it) filling a huge swimming pool with water that looks like blood:

“Marking the release of Resident Evil Revelations – which sees a return to the survival horror roots of the series – Capcom are set to open a ‘blood’ filled swimming pool nestled in the shadow of the Olympic stadium, London, UK. In addition to its bloody appearance the swimming pool will offer floats in the form of human torsos, feature brains and intestines as lane markers, have Zombie lifeguards on duty and even offer a diving board in the form of a ‘freshly killed human corpse.”

If the Resident Evil 6 ‘human butcher shop’ didn’t put you off your lunch then get your arm bands, towels and delicious brains on down to the Resident Evil Revelations Blood Pool at The Bunker, Jupiter Wharf, London, E3 2PL. 

On a side note, Blood Pool was always my favourite stage in Actraiser btw.
