Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 To Focus More On Story Telling

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 To Focus More On Story Telling

During a recent Famitsu interview with Bandai Namco Producer, Yusuke Sasaki, and CyberConnect2 President, Hiroshi Matsuyama, they talked about the enhanced cinematic story telling in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.

'

Those of you who follow the Naruto anime or manga might know how the story has been building up to a climax in the recent Shinobi World War Arc. Plenty of battles from that arc will be playable in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, but the story telling aspect was actually a huge focus in the development of the game.

'

CyberConnect2 President and CEO, Hiroshi Matsuyama, said that each chapter was made by the development team with the thought process of making a feature film. He believes that completing a chapter will reward the player with the same satisfactory feeling you get from finishing a movie.

'

“What surprised me the most was Chapter 4 in story mode. It revolves around the story of Naruto’s mother, Kushina, and the Nine-Tails event. The original story is very moving and its entire episode is included in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3.” said Sasaki.There aren’t too many battles in the chapter and the event scenes alone take up about one and a half hours. The scenes are also in full motion with real-time 3D characters, instead of still frame pictures, too.”

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is slated to be released on March 5th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Monster Hunter 4s New Trailer Shows Fearsome Beasts And Dazzling Armor

In our earlier report, we took a closer look at Monster Hunter 4 cover monster, Goa Magara. Well, now you can get an even closer look at him in action, along with several other new and old monsters, in the game’s latest hunting packed trailer.



The trailer starts with a nice look at Barubare village and some of the first monsters that were introduced for Monster Hunter 4. About halfway through the trailer, Goa Magara is seen dashing and shooting dark breath attacks towards the helpless Hunter. Next up, is the Genel Sertas, a fearsome scorpion-type monster, who consumes its own friendly insects as a way to gain stamina.

God of War Ascension in doppia limited edition


God of War: Ascension raddoppia le limited ed offre due esclusivi pacchetti: Special e Collector’s Edition per lo spartano per eccellenza.

God of War: Ascension è senza ombra di dubbio uno dei titoli più attesi e richiesti dall’utenza PlayStation 3, il ritorno di Kratos dopo la splendida chiusura della trilogia avvenuta col terzo capitolo rilasciato esattamente il 17 marzo 2010 in Europa. Quasi a tre anni di distanza, giorno 12 marzo 2013 (profezia Maya permettendo) Kratos tornerà sul monolite casalingo Sony per stupire nuovamente con le sue cruente gesta eroiche (e antieroiche).

Il ritorno di uno dei simboli (vedi PlayStation Battle All Star) del videogioco secondo PlayStation, non poteva avvenire senza almeno due limited edition previste per il mercato. Si chiameranno Special Edition e Collector’s Edition ed includeranno extra succulenti per i fan di God of War.

La Special sarà meno ricca di contenuti ma includerà comunque il gioco dentro una custodia metallica, la colonna sonora ufficiale in formato digitale, un tema dinamico di Ascension per PS3 e dei bonus per gli avatar del PSN, inoltre un extra di punti XP doppi per la modalità multiplayer.

D’altra parte la Collector’s Edition gode di ulteriori aggiunte, tra cui un’action figure da 8 pollici di Kratos, la steelbook per il gioco, la colonna sonora in versione digitale, un tema dinamico PS3 e pacchetto personalizzazione avatar ed inoltre diversi extra per il multiplayer: punti esperienza doppi, DLC pass per sbloccare tutti i futuri DLC del gioco a costo zero ed infine il Mythological Heroes Multiplayer Pack, un pacchetto unico che sarà acquistabile anche singolarmente e che comprenderà un set di quattro armature appartenenti a grandi eroei ellenici quali, Ulisse, Achille, Perseo e Orione.

Il prezzo della Collector’s Edition sarà di circa 79,99 dollari. Le novità su God of War: Ascension non finiscono qui però, proprio il director del gioco, Todd Papy, ha promesso grandi novità sul gioco per domani, 15 ottobre 2012.

Classifica Software Europea

Ed eccoci finalmente sbarcare nel nuovo anno. Nonostante si dovrebbero buttare via le cose vecchie, vediamo che anche nel 2013 certe cose non cambiano. Ed eccolo di nuovo lì, Call of Duty: Black Ops II per PS3 che si gode il primo posto, mentre la versione X360 cala vertiginosamente alla sesta posizione. Il podio è occupato, oltre che da Black Ops II, da FIFA 13, che torna nelle posizioni alte con entrambe le versioni. Far Cry 3 abbandona il podio, ma non si allontana molto. Con grande sorpresa vediamo riapparire in classifica Need for Speed: Most Wanted in versione PS3:

    Call of Duty: Black Ops II (PS3)FIFA 13 (PS3)FIFA 13 (X360)Far Cry 3 (X360)Far Cry (PS3)Call of Duty: Black Ops II (X360)Just Dance 4 (Wii)Halo 4 (X360)Need for Speed: Most Wanted (PS3)Assassin’s Creed III (PS3)
Classifica Software Giapponese

Anche in Giappone la prima posizione resta invariata, con Animal Crossing: New Leaf ben deciso a rimanere con la corona in testa, mentre Mario fa una tripletta conquistando la seconda, la terza e la quarta posizione. Nintendo Land continua a salire posizionandosi in sesta posizione, mentre Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 esce dalla classifica. Molto bene anche per Inazuma Eleven Go 2: Chrono Stone:

    Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U)Inazuma Eleven Go 2: Chrono Stone (3DS)Nintendo Land (Wii U)One Piece: Romance Dawn – Bouken no Yoake (PSP)Fantasy Life (PSP)Magician’s Quest: Town of Magic (3DS)Tousouchuu: Shijou Saikyou no Hunter-Tachi Kara Nigekire! (3DS)
Classifica Globale Hardware

Per questa settimana i grani cambiamenti sono tutti nella parte bassa della classifica. vediamo infatti le console portatile di Sony riprendersi dal fondo e raggiungere la quinta e la sesta posizione, superando addirittura la Wii che cala alla settima posizione. Sempre in fondo alla classifica il povero DS, mentre il suo fratello in tre dimensioni resta sempre in prima posizione:

    3DSPlayStation 3XBOX 360Wii UPSPPS VitaWiiDS

Parecchio altalenanti le classifiche, ma sempre dalla seconda posizione in poi. Il dominio di certi titoli è ormai evidente, ma riusciranno a superare le prossime uscite? In Giappone la Wii U rimane l’unica console casalinga ad avere titoli in classifica, mentre il 3DS occupa l’intero podio. Avendo abusato dei soliti tioli, il trailer di chiusura sarà dedicato al secondo e terzo classificato della classifica europa: FIFA 13

Samsung Stealth spotted at FCC

Samsung unveiled their first 4G LTE phone at CES in January, which was the temporary codename then, though it will have a formal name when it goes on retail. Recently, a 4G Samsung handset was spotted at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), called Samsung Stealth, model SCH-I510.

From the FCC documentation, this phone and the Samsung 4G LTE look different and it is likely both are not one and the same. Earlier news reports stated that the Samsung I510 will feature a 4.3-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display (800x480 resolution), 8-megapixel rear camera, supports Wi-Fi and runs Android 2.2 Froyo mobile operating system. The Samsung SCH-I510 is said to be available in Q2 this year.
