#Blog Sonic Colors 30th Anniversary limited edition

I got all previous Sonic Anniversary limited edition releases before. So I had to grab Sonic Colors' 30th Anniversary, no matter how people are criticizing Sonic Colors' Ultimate remaster.

(Fun side note: I never liked this game much. This remaster won't change my mind. But the Ultimate remaster isn't that awful. I forgot how short this game was, I'm already close to finishing it despite only having played it for a couple of hours...)

This Anniversary pack was only released in Japan (kinda like Sonic Adventure 2's 10th Anniversary limited edition).




There's a special book and CD "Life in Sonic's World vol.1". You can play the selected music trax along the illustrated book to get in the mood for these beautiful artworks (and Japanese stories).










Speaking of, here's the 30th Anniversary collector next to the 10th Anniversary one. Both came with their respective select musics from the series.


And both came with a lovely gold coin!



 I like comparing how tiny the previous Anniversary collector was.

Anyways, this was kind of missing a statue, I feel.

Also did they plan all this for Sonic Rangers, initially? Did Covid sidetrack that Anniversary game's release and they improvised this collector for Sonic Colors? Who knows...

#GamingNEWS Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach - Trailer | State of Play Trailer

The trailer for the new FNAF is actually pretty good. It looks like this will be the first proper 3D game in the series, where you will actually be able to hide and run around the space.

Plus I kinda dig the whole funky 1980s retro vibe.

Maybe evolving the series into a full 3D Amnesia/Outcast is the best thing to do to keep it fresh and relevant.

As for the new animatronics, they make me think of these fake FNAF films instead of the simpler creepier ones from the earlier games, you know. 

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach is coming to PC, PS4 and PS5. Although I can see them port it to everything else, later on.

#GamingNEWS New Sonic Team Game - Official Teaser Trailer | Sonic Central 2021

Sega finally made things official with Sonic's future. They made a little event called "Sonic Central" (yes, like that Sonic Central..) and showed a bunch stuff to celebrate Sonic's 30th Anniversary.

A new compilation, a remaster of a (random) not quite so old-older game, crossover stuff and a tease for the upcoming new non-Anniversary game, since it will now come out next year, 2022.

They officialized the remaster of Sonic Colors! A new port of Colors from 2010, coming on sep 7 on PS4, Switch, etc. Calling it Ultimate certainly means more content, right? I'd love a re-take on the story and new voice overs to make it closer in tone to past Sonic games instead of the last few-childish tone of the series...


There's gonna be new Sonic Colors-inspired short cartoons, like most recent games have received. Which makes Sonic Colors more relevant than ever, giving weird theories that Sega want to pursue Sonic Colors' "story"... 


A new collection, Sonic Origins, which will bring the smartphone ports of Sonic 1, 2, CD along Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Can they add some actual surprises? Each new compilation has had less and less games since Sonic Mega Collection/Gems Collection.. How about Chaotix? SegaSonic?


Lots of crossover Sonic-themed content to a bunch of games including Two Point Hospital and Lost Judgement (the new Yakuza-style game from Sega).

The Mario-less Sega’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

Roger Craig Smith returning to continue voicing Sonic again.

And finally..



A little tease for Sonic's upcoming big new (3D?) game. People have been loving the tease. Thinking Sonic Adventure 1 remake etc. But me, personally, this gives me weird vibes of a Sonic Colors sequel (wisps and boost energy-inspired effects) MIXED with the old Sonic 2006 "realistic forest run" vibes...

Wait and see...

#GamingNEWS A few PlayStation State Of Play trailers

Here's a few trailers that caught my eye from Sony's PlayStation State Of Play. I'm posting the FF stuff apart from this post FYI.

Gameplay footage for the new Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach. It does look neat, I might add.

I can't wait for Oddworld: Soulstorm! Hopefully we finally get a 100% original Oddworld game afterwards...

Otherwise, nothing much. Still no real reason to upgrade to PS5, fanboy reasons aside. Never get a game system early in its life. Plus no real exclusives. The jump to PS1->2 or ->3 had bigger impact. From PS4 to 5 it's just more powerful systems, nothing new gameplay or concept wise.

#Design - CustomCoverArt PC Amnesia 3 + Soma, DVD Sweet Home, PS4 Last Of Us 2 + Until Dawn

 Please! Do not ask for these! This was a personal job, not outsourcing the work to other people. If you want me to work out something for you, I will do so for money only.

To experiment around during this past holiday, I decided to make some mockup covers for the missing Frictional Games titles I didn't do yet, Amnesia 3 and Soma.

I was able to obtain an english-subs copy of the classic Japanese horror film Sweet Home from '89, the inspiration behing an old Nes game that became the first survival horror. But it didn't had a proper cover so I tried making one up on the go using some other fan mockups as inspirations.

 

So I received Last of Us Part II as a Xmas gift, but my cover was in spanish (!), so I had to make a new one. And I used this occasion to mashup some ideas I've seen floating around online.


I really enjoyed Little Hope, the second Dark Pictures game from Supermassive Games. So I decided to go back to Until Dawn... And then decided to give it a custom Dark Pictures cover to go along with the other two on the shelf, just for fun.


I'm not allowing the comments below to avoid the spam I usually get on these.

#GamingNEWS The Good Life | Publishing Announcement | PEGI

Finally! Swery65's new game The Good Life has finally been picked up by a publisher! And I can't wait for it!

I finished The Missing about a month or so ago. And I can’t wait for this one. I love his little touches and quirks, it makes all his games all sorts of charming, weird and captivating. and I like his recent Bingo-of gaming genres, lately. Back then from Extermination-Spy Fiction-Deadly Premonition 1, most of the games played and looked pretty similar. But the last few The Missing-DP2-The Good Life are such huge departures from one game to the next. I can’t wait!

 

The game's scheduled to launch on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in summer 2021.

#GamingNEWS It's about time we got news on the new Crash Bandicoot. It's Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Time, and it's about time someone used this joke title around.

So it has finally leaked. Everyone was waiting for a bit of footage or info, but instead we got the whole title, logo and cover art in one go!

The new Crash Bandicoot is called Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Time! It's called Crash Bandicoot friggin' 4! No pressure, guys. It's developed by Spyo Reignited Trilogy Toys for Bob, as everyone expected following some leaked concept arts. Features a new Crash design, in line with the recent smartphone Crash redesign. And seems to be a new game in the spirit of the original trilogy, hence the 4, but also seems to be taking some clues from the original Crash 4, Wrath of Cortex (a bunch of super-powered masks helping Cortex and Uka Uka - probably gimmicky powered boss fights I imagine as well).


I love the classic mascot platformers. And I honestly can't wait for more info, which appear to be coming this Monday, June 22 - full reveal coming up! I'm just annoyed the Switch version will probably be released a year later, again..

Not sure if the time travel gimmick is gonna just be superficial like in Crash Bandicoot 3, or used in a more complex way like in dimensional rift-thing in the upcoming Ratchet and Clank...?

#GamingNEWS TRANSFORMERS BATTLEGROUNDS - Teaser Trailer - PS4 / Xbox1 / Switch / PC

There’s a new Transformers game coming up as well! And it's a rather oldschool-looking one at that!



Not entirely sold on the perspective, though... I'd rather a new 3rd person War of Cybertron-like game.. Looks... mobile phones-ysh.

Transformers: Battlegrounds is coming for Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC on October 23.

#GamingNEWS HITMAN 3 - Announcement Trailer

New Playstation. New Hitman! Hitman 3 (or really, Hitman 8...) is coming to end this trilogy of recent Hitman titles.





This one's not an exclusive, and actually coming out in January on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.

#GamingNEWS NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... | Teaser

Wow! This is seriously the best news I've heard in a long time, since we've all been confined to our homes in these annoying difficult times...

The original NiER Gestalt/Replicant is getting upgraded, enhanced and re-released on the current gen PS4/X1/PC!

2B might have my gaming heart, but I much prefer the music, atmosphere and story of the original game.

Here's a little teaser trailer showing the enhanced new environments:



I'll be honest. I'd rather see a new game really.. but more Yoko Taro is always good news. And maybe this can help build the hype and finance a possible new game, like Swery's re-release of the original Deadly Premonitions.

#GamingNEWS FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE new trailer

This game is looking better. I'm just so excited to see the classic environments and characters get a Hi-Def photorealistic lifting. Oh, and also, we finally get a look at cross-dressing Cloud (and some Chocobos!!!):

#GamingNEWS RESIDENT EVIL 3 REMAKE Trailer (2020) HD

It's official! "Resident Evil Project Resistance" is officially the remake of Resident Evil 3!

The game looks nice so far. Curiously, there's a lot of 1st person segments in this first cinematic trailer.. which makes me think they might end up with a blend of RE2make's third person update with RE7's new FPS view.



Not sure I dig the updated Jill Valentine so far. But then again I'll take this update over her blonde RE5 look.. Ugh.. That was when the series jumped the shark. Let's see it swim back ashore and continue the streak of good new titles so far.

I can't wait to be stalked by Nemesis in a brand new engine on high fidelity photographic graphics!

#GamingNEWS Predator: Hunting Grounds - Release Date Trailer

Check out the latest trailer for Predator: Hunting Grounds, coming April 24th 2020.
 
 

Let's be honest... it didn't look great on first look. But it came a long way. Things are looking much better in this new trailer. And... they even dared add a female Predator! About time! Comics have been way ahead of films and games on that front!

#Blog #SHENMUE3 WAS FINALLY RELEASED!!

Shenmue 3 is real!

Shenmue 3 was finally released....!! After all these years!!

It doesn’t even feel real. Is Half-Life 3 coming next week??!
I still remember buying my Dreamcast brand new. Getting Shenmue 1 a few short months later, spending hours... days.. weeks exploring it!

Then before the end of the Sega era... We did get one last hurrah in the form of Shenmue 2...! Discovering such a bigger adventure.. with only came to an end on that darn’ annoying cliffhanger...!
And now.. finally...

SHENMUE 3 is here! Ryo is back!!!
The game does look pretty decent actually, better than what I feared.

But good..

Or bad...

It just feels so odd to actually play it after so many years!!! (Even wilder and stranger than when Duke Nukem Forever finally came out, if you ask me..)



I just can’t process this...!!!
It’s like coming back home. Things aren’t exactly as you remember them. You see stuff in a new life. You notice the passage of time. But all in all, it feels like home.

Did you happen to see some sailors around here?

#GamingNEWS Marvel's Avengers — Kamala Khan NYCC Announcement Trailer

This is honestly the first time this weird photorealistic Marvel's Avengers game by Square Enix has actually looked kinda interesting. It looked like a really off-putting fake MCU thing. But now it's actually starting to look like its own thing.

More importantly, Ms Marvel/Kamala Khan is in the game! And she seems pretty important for the plot actually - COLOR ME INTERESTED (finally)!!

#fightingNEWS Mortal Kombat 11 Kombat Pack – Official Terminator T-800 Gameplay Trailer

T-800 arrives in Mortal Kombat 11, as the new DLC character for the current “Kombat Pack” season.

And while they couldn't get the actual Arnie voicing him, it looks like a really fun character with a ton of little details. Like losing the skin with attacks and ending up as the creepy endoskeleton, the time travel-fatality, and more!

Check it out:



I actually really dig what they did. He will be made available this October 8.
