Gears of War: Judgement— OverRun multiplayermode puts a new spin on theHuman-Locust war [Preview]Source: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/gears-war-judgement-overrun-

multiplayer-mode-puts-spin-human-locust-war-preview/

By KarbyP on March 5th, 2013

At a Microsoft media event here in Singapore we wenthands-on with OverRun, one of two new multiplayer modesthat Gears of War: Judgement is bringing to the table. Howdoes it play? In a nutshell: You’ve played Gears of Warbefore, but never in a fashion quite like this.

Truth be told, the OverRun mode is more or less a naturalprogression from the Beast mode and improved Horde modeintroduced in Gears of War 3.

In OverRun, one team of five assumes a faction of Coalitionof Gears (CoG) operatives, while the other team (alsowith five players) assumes that of the Locusts. This is anobjective-based game mode, and that objective is a generatorthat the humans have to protect from the Locust swarm.

Teams will take turn to play as the CoGs and the Locusts intwo consecutive rounds. The time limit for a typical roundis six minutes. Whichever team can bring down the CoGs’generator the fastest while playing as the Locusts, wins.

Unlike a standard Team Deathmatch setup, each factionis not a palette swap of the other; instead, both the CoGsand the Locusts have different classes. Heck, they even havedifferent numbers of different classes.

On the human side, you pick from four: Engineer, Medic,Soldier and Scout.

On the Locusts’ side, you have a few more options. Likethe humans, at the start of a round you can only pick fromfour classes. But perform well during a match, and you’ll

eventually earn points that you can redeem to use fouradditional “power” classes.

Here, this video can explain the differences within theclasses much better than I can:

By now you may have heard that there’s been some changesmade to the control scheme in Gears of War: Judgement.Those control changes affect OverRun, too.

Most notably (or notoriously, depending on yourperspective), the Y button now lets you switch between yourtwo primary weapons.

It appears that in GoW:J you only carry two weapons insteadof four – two primaries, one pistol, and a grenade – in pastinstalments.

Part of this change in control scheme is due to the developerswanting to shift the grenade command to Left Bumper, sothat players can quickly lob one out in dangerous situations,rather than slowly fumble through the d-pad menus for a fewseconds to bring out that grenade.

Essentially, the control tweaks take away a secondaryweapon (so you have two weapon choices now instead ofthree), and remaps the grenade function.

While that doesn’t sound very limiting within the confinesof single-player, in OverRun while I was playing as certainclasses – such as the Engineer on the CoG team – I definitelywished for the ability to carry a third weapon. Because theEngineer wields a standard-issue shotgun, and a freakingblowtorch. And it’s not for melting your enemies’ face off,which given Gears of War’s pedigree, wouldn’t be that far offfrom something you’d expect to happen in this game.

Nope, no awesome face-melting shenanigans here. All you’lldo with that blowtorch, is to repair structures with.

But having played several rounds of OverRun with othermembers of the Singapore press corps, I have to say:repairing strucutres is easily the most important job on theCoG team.

Before the Locusts can get to the CoGs’ precious generator,they must first breach a number of defense mechanisms,which include spiked fences and other blockades.

Once destroyed, these defense mechanisms will neverrespawn again. And so the only way to keep them in place isto repair them the moment they take damage.

But at the same time, you can’t just focus on repairingstructures; you will need some firepower to kill off the Locustplayers before they can focus-fire on a single structure andoverwhelm you.

And while the Engineer does have some offensivecapabilities – before you get down to repairing structures,you can set-up a turret to put out some cover fire (thiscommand is mapped to the LB button, and replaces yourgrenade throw) – it’s not nearly enough.

For that you’ll need the Soldier and Scout players to do theirjob. The Soldier is armed with a Lancer assault rifle alongwith the Boom Shot and a “drop ammunition” skill to helpyour teammates resupply. Whereas the Scout is armed witha sniper rifle, a pistol, and a beacon grenade that can mapout enemy positions, and intensify the damage those markedenemies will receive when shot.

You’ll need a lot of communication and teamwork to preventthat generator from getting blown-up; as we found outduring the media preview session, it is possible to takecover somewhere and safely take regular pot-shots at thegenerator.

It’s quite clear that the Locusts have the advantage inOverRun, but that’s by design. You need to eventually givethe Locusts enough firepower to break through the humans’defense and destroy that generator.

In other words, as the CoGs, you’ll need to actively seekout Locusts and kill the ones who camp and take pot-shots,rather than focus on just a defensive strategy.

On the flipside, it may seem that you’d require less teamworkand communication when playing as the Locusts. And, onceagain, this is something we tried – as the Locusts it isdefinitely possible to bring down the generator fairly quicklyeven if every member on your team is pretty much runningaround doing their own team. That’s how powerful theLocust classes are.

But remember, folks, the clock is ticking. At the end of theday, winning or losing really comes down to how well youplay the Locust team, really.

And that brings me to what I think is the most beautifulthing about Gears of War: Judgement’s OverRun mode: it isdesigned to appeal to both hardcore and casual GoW players.

The core Gears of War players will appreciate the intricatestrategies that will unfold as they get better and better atshaving seconds off the clock, as Locusts.

As the humans, they may also develop communication andteamwork skills almost to the point that they may seempsychic to the opposing team.

But if you don’t really care about the competitive streak ingames, it’s still a lot of fun to kickback, relax, and play agame of target practice as the CoG operatives, and a game oftrolling your enemies while on the Locusts’ side.

And that’s just one of the new ways to play Gears of War.We haven’t even got our paws on the Survival mode (animproved version of Horde, with Judgement’s new CoGoperative classes), or played much of the new single-player-slash-co-op campaign yet.

Then there’s the Aftermath mini-campaign, which you canunlock by clearing Declassified missions.

There’s a lot to look forward to, even if you think you’ve seenit all in three Gears of War games.

Gears of War: Judgement hits all good video game stores inSingapore March 19, 2013.

Gears of War: Judgement isnot just a prequel, featuresunlockable Aftermath mini-campaignSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/gears-war-judgement-prequel-

features-unlockable-aftermath-mini-campaign/

By KarbyP on March 5th, 2013

Gears of War: Judgement, I’ve been telling folks this wholetime, is this spin-off prequel to the Gears of War trilogythat explores the story of series stalwarts Damon Baird andAugustus Cole before the main protagonist – Marcus Fenix– finds and enlists them into his squad.

As of this week, that description is no longer the full story.Don’t get me wrong – it’s still about Damon Baird andAugustus Cole before the events of the first Gears of War.

But as Epic Games have revealed this week, after you’re donewith Judgement’s main campaign, this is also a bonus mini-campaign that tells the story of Baird and Cole

You go about unlocking the Aftermath mini-campaign byaccumulating stars throughout the main campaign, forskilful performance, such as killing with headshots, et cetera.

For a boost to your campaign stars, you can also take onDeclassification side-missions, which take on an interestingmeaning in the context of the game’s story.

The main campaign in Judgement is told in a series offlashbacks that explain what happened that led to Baird’sentire team getting court-martialed and accused of treason.

The flashbacks are presented to gamers based on evidencepublicly aired in the court records – but they’re not exactlythe full story. There are portions in the file marked in blackink.

When you take on a Declassification side-mission, then,you are essentially peeling back that black ink, to uncoverwhat Baird and his team actually encountered. In termsof gameplay, according to Destructoid, these translate intoharder challenges.

One Declassification turned all the Wretches in a particularchapter into Lambent Wretches, which interestingly do noteven make their debut in the main trilogy until Gears of war2, a game that takes place some 15 years after Judgement.

In other words, the Declassified mission is implying thatthe Coalition of Gears government had in fact knew aboutLambent Wretches some fifteen years before players, asMarcus Fenix, would know about them – Lambent Wretcheshad existed from the very beginning. For some reason,however, the government had chose to bury that informationand keep it sealed off from public eyes.

Between Declassified missions and Aftermath, yes, Gears ofWar: Judgement isn’t your typical video game prequel. It’sgot a little more than that.

And then some (check out our impressions of the newOverRun multiplayher mode here).

The Omni allows you to walk around virtual worlds withoutwandering about your living room and bumping into walls.With a fixture holding your waist in place, you don’t have toworry about falling, either.

As a demo, here is a video of one of the developers using aprototype of the Omni along with a headset and the Kinectto play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Granted, it would get tiring walking around Tamriel forhours and hours (or twenty minutes, for some people), butthe Omni can be used for more than just games. It canbe used for exercise, job training, virtual movies, virtualconcerts, virtual museums, or any other virtual simulationyou can think of.

Are you interested in using virtual reality in your own livingroom? Then you can visit Virtuix’s homepage or wait fortheir Kickstarter page, where you will be able to pledgemoney to help fund their development. With a bit of luck,this compact machine will make its way into your localshopping center at an affordable price.

Along with these two characters, NIS has revealed theDemon Dojo, a new feature in the Disgaea series. The DemonDojo provides several ways to make training your characterseasier.

You can give characters a discipline to follow so they gainbonus effects. For example, characters can gain higher statboosts every time they level up, or they can increase theirweapon mastery rate, so they can quickly learn new attacksfor different weapon types. They can also inprove theircharisma, so they can increase their friendship points withother characters.

In addition to the Demon Dojo, the Dark Assembly is makinga return. Just like in the past Disgaea games, the DarkAssembly not only lets you create new characters, but it canunlock new content and bonuses.

The Dark Assembly works a lot like in past games. First, youpick a bill, then the Dark Assembly decides whether or notto pass it. Of course, the members of the Dark Assembly areall demons, so they won’t pass your bill. That’s why you haveto gently persuade them by bribing them with gifts.

If the bribes don’t work, never fear, just persuade them somemore by using brute force.

But what if the Dark Assembly is too strong? Or if you’re toolazy to use brute force? Then you have one more option: cold,hard cash.

Disgaea fans who want to pick up this game won’t haveto wait long — Disgaea D2 comes out in Japan on March20. Those who want to play in English are also in luck —the game is already being localized for North America andEurope.

ZEDD shows how livetunewill sound like with Westernelectro house influenceSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/zedd-shows-west-takes-hatsune-

By sentinel011 on March 7th, 2013

ZEDD, most famous for his involvement with remixes offamous pop artistes like Lady Gaga, takes on the task of usingthe Vocaloid software to create a music genre unique to hisown.

Given that there are many Japanese music producers outthere who have created numerous tracks and songs enoughto be featured in several iterations of Project Diva games, theWest has yet to have an influential music producer who hasproduced a livetune remix that features Hatsune Miku.

Universal Music Japan’s Youtube page has released ZEDD’strack titled “Spectrum feat. Matthew Koma”, which soundsgreat. People who are familiar with ZEDD’s work will bepleased to know that despite the livetune collaboration, itstill sounds very much like ZEDD’s work.

The track is included in ZEDD’s Japanese album releaseof “Clarity”, which was released last week under UniversalMusic Japan. It retails for 2,300 yen at all major Japanesestores and iTunes.

If you love pizza and Vocaloid, you might want to considerhaving this iTunes app.

The whole Domino’s Pizza app interface has been changedwith Hatsune Miku’s design and concept in mind. Apartfrom making your standard pizza deliveries, the app alsocomes with a social camera function that you can take ofHatsune Miku in various poses. The app also allows you totake pictures with Miku herself.

In addition, the pizza box delivered has an AR camerafunction that unlocks a live performance. To activate, openthe app’s AR function and face the camera onto the pizzabox’es cover. This turns the cover into Hatsune Miku’s livevenue!

Unfortunately, this app and service is only available withinJapan. I do hope that this service will eventually branch outto other countries, including Singapore.

The app [50MB] is now available through iTunes Store.

Simcity launch one of theworst received yetSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/simcity-launch-worst-received/

By sentinel011 on March 7th, 2013

SimCity went full circle since its last release 10 years backwith The Sims trilogy. Yet with its recent launch, manypeople aren’t happy about it. Even till now.

Gamers eager to plop onto their nice comfortable chairs tobuild their fantastic city were met with the inability to installthe game. Well, some of them. Those that were experiencingno issues with the installation process soon met with serverissues, which crashed their game.

Some of these gamers might be guessing “Oh gee, is itbecause my PC wasn’t good enough for this game?” until asearch on EA’s Answer HQ brings up plenty of other userswho encountered the same list of problems. Problems suchas cities not being saved right before the crash, and thenhours later reappearing; inability to log into the servers toaccess their city – the list goes on.

SimCity was originally a solo player experience, givinggamers the choice to create – or destroy – their perfect city.Unfortunately, this ‘always-online’ option that was supposedto attract players to play a region of up to 16 cities with theirfriends turn out to be a wreck with this latest server issuefiasco.

Seems like fears on DRM-enabled games are not unfounded,despite the reassurances EA gave in this particular article.

[Update] One disgruntled gamer Recorded Ignorance gave apretty accurate sentiment on the general opinions of gamerswho are looking forward to SimCity.

Up to press time, SGCafe is still encountering such issueswith the server. Do watch out for our upcoming review of thelatest SimCity.

According to Oricon weekly charts, AKB48′s latest single Solong! was released a week earlier, and currently sold 50,403units. Perfume, on the other hand has sold 68,784 unitsfor Mirai no Museum. While it may seem that Perfume hasthe lead over AKB48 at first glance, one must take note thatthis is the second week running for AKB48′s So long! single.

Of course, SMAP’s weekly charts tops it off at 161,681 unitsfor its latest single Mistake! / Battery, released on the sameweek as Perfume.

While general Japanese pop groups are still unable to bestidol groups from Johnny’s Entertainment or lead groupsfrom AKS, Perfume is currently geared towards worldwideaudience despite some language barriers, as evidently seenduring their World Tour 1st concert tour late last year.

One year after the devastating Tohoku earthquake andtsunami on March 11, 2011, the group Zapuni came togetherto help children affected by the disaster. Now, they’re backto spread awareness through beautiful music videos.

Zapuni is a collaboration between Japanese animators andworld renowned musicians. Their goal is to raise money forcharities like School Music Revival, which provides musicalinstruments for schools damaged by the earthquake. As partof their first project, they have created two heartwarmingmusic videos, which you can watch below.

Psychedelic Afternoon

“Seiji is tormented by horrible tsunami-flashback dreams,but one night he wakes up and his beloved grandfather hasappeared. With a strum of his grandfather’s guitar, Seiji istransported to a colorful, slightly strange, psychedelic worldand finally manages to have a good dream.”

This song is performed by David Byrne, the former leadvocalist of the American band Talking Heads, and is writtenby Ryuichi Sakamoto, a composer who has won prestigiousawards throughout the world, including a Golden Globe forThe Last Emperor. The animation is done by the husband-and-wife team UrumaDelvi, who are well known for thechildren’s song Bottom Biting Bug.

Blossom

“Angels watch over an old farmer as he works to bring atsunami-ravaged land back to life.”

The video is directed by Yutaka Yamamoto, a formermember of Kyoto Animation and founder of the studioOrdet, which is responsible for the Black Rock Shooter OVAand anime series. The song, “Hoppipolla”, is performed bythe Icelandic band Sigur Rós, who sing it in a combination ofIcelandic and their own language, “Vonlenska”, which theytranslate as “Hopelandic”.

You can expect Zapuni to create more works for charity,as the founder Vince Shortino commented, “As a longtimeresident of Japan, like everyone here, I was profoundlyaffected by the events of March 11, 2011. Zapuni is acollaboration effort by friends and colleagues. We believethat together through the power of combining music withart, we can to bring spiritual joy to the children of Tōhokuaffected by the disaster. There will be more good work fromZapuni in the future. This is just the start.”

If you want to support Zapuni right now, you can donate toSchool Music Revival, or you can buy Psychedelic Afternoonon iTunes or an iPhone case featuring art from the musicvideos.

By SunSoftware on March 11th, 2013

Daisuke Amaya, the indie game developer responsible forthe popular freeware game Cave Story, took the stage at theindependent developer conference BitSummit to announcehis newest game, Gero Blaster.

Gero Blaster is a side-scrolling platformer that looks similarto Amaya’s Cave Story and uses elements from Megaman,Metroid, and Castlevania. The player controls a gun-totingfrog named Kaeru who must rescue his girlfriend, a cat whois kidnapped and taken to a mysterious planet.

The game harks back to NES days with its simple story and 8-bit graphics, but if it’s like Cave Story, the gameplay is boundto rival any modern platformer’s.

Gero Blaster is scheduled to be released this May for theiPhone, but Amaya is already looking into other platforms.As a matter of fact, Tyrone Rodriguez from the developerNicalis shared this photo on Twitter of the game running ona 3DS.

Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari in Japanese) wasoriginally released as a free PC game in 2004 and waswidely praised. Amaya, who created the entire game byhimself (that includes programming, story, art, and music),eventually teamed up with the developer Nicalis to port thegame to WiiWare, DSiWare, Steam, and 3DS.

Conception II, sequel to child-making RPG revealedSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/conception-ii-sequel-child-making-

rpg-revealed/

By SunSoftware on March 9th, 2013

The latest issue of Famitsu Weekly has revealed the sequelto Conception, the RPG that involves making children andusing them to fight monsters.

Conception: Ore no Kodomo wo Unde Kure! (Conception:Give Birth to my Children!) was originally developed bySpike Chunsoft (creator of Danganronpa) and releasedfor the PSP last April. The sequel, titled “ConceptionII: Shichisei no Michibiki to Mazuru no Akumu” (TheSeven Stars’ Guidance and the Blundering Nightmare), isscheduled to be released this summer for the Nintendo 3DSand PS Vita.

The game combines RPG and dating sim elements inwhich the player bonds with girls in order to create “StarChildren” (no, not the way you’re thinking of, he makesthem using magic). After organizing the Star Children intothree teams, the player enters a dungeon where he andthe children fight monsters. Despite the odd premise, thegame managed to gather a large fanbase in Japan with itsinteresting characters and fresh gameplay.

This installment will feature new characters and a newworld. Here’s a picture of the main character (you get tochoose his name), and one of the heroines, Fuuko.

Page 25: SGcafe Anime News For Otaku Mar 2013 Issue

This time around, the main character is a disciple at a school,and he must bond with a group of seven female disciplescalled “Nemesis Eater”. There are fewer girls than in theprevious game, which has twelve girls based on the Greekzodiac. However, the story will be around twice as long asthe previous game’s, so that will hopefully make up for it.

As another new feature, the girls can now enter the dungeonand fight with you, instead of staying home and occasionallygiving you a phone call in the midst of battle. The maincharacter fights with a pair of twin blades, while Fuukofights with a gun called the Blunder Breaker. As for the StarChildren, they all come in different classes, such as fighters,magicians, and thieves.

Conception II has just been revealed, and it already lookslike it will do the prequel justice. While you’re waiting forthis game to come out this summer, you can play the firstConception, which will get a price reduction and cost only1,890 yen starting in April.

What if Studio Ghibli goesPixar style?Source: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/studio-ghibli-pixar-style/

By ellehaym on March 9th, 2013

The world-renowned Studio Ghibli sticks to the traditionaltechniques in the creation of their anime films despite theadvancements in computer animation technology. But whatif Hayao Miyazaki suddenly decides to collaborate withPixar? What would Ghibli characters look like?

We all know that a collaboration is unlikely, considering thatMiyazaki himself stated that Studio Ghibli will continue todeliver hand-drawn animation to its audiences (this is based

from an interview I saw in a program by NHK). Regardless,there are tickled minds that cannot be stopped.

Scandal Live in Singapore2013: Fans show up forSaturday’s concert almost afull day priorSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/scandal-live-singapore-2013-fans-

show-saturdays-concert-full-day-prior/

The autograph session held at Bugis+ yesterday (March 15;check out our video highlights here) wouldn’t begin until7.30PM at the earliest. Yet, just to make sure that they wouldbe amongst the first to go up on stage and get their copy ofScandal’s Encore Show album signed by their idols, somefans turned up at the venue hours before.

Such was the case for a group of three friends – Aiman (20),Abigail (19), and Richard (20) – who showed up as early as3PM in the afternoon to wait, way before the crowds wouldgather at the level 2 Atrium in Bugis+.

“We were probably not the first Scandal fans to arrive,but we were really lucky because we just happened to bestationed near the entrance to the queue when the lines forthe audition session started forming,” Abigail said.

The trio had been fans of the Japanese pop rock girls bandsince about four years ago. As this was not the first time theyhad shown up at an autograph session for the group, thethree friends had a good idea of what to expect; in fact, one ofthem, Aiman, was also amongst the first in line at a previousScandal autograph session here in Singapore, two years ago.

Still, if you thought that showing up for an autographsession just three or four hours before its scheduled timeof commencement doesn’t sound very hardcore for groupiebehaviour, that’s because it isn’t — the autograph sessionwas just a small prelude to the main event.

Other Scandal fans that SGCafe spoke to included a group ofmembers from the Singapore-based unofficial fan club cumforum, Scandal Heaven - true hardcore Scandal groupieswho had something planned right after the autographsession.

“Later (right after the autograph session), all the hardcoreScandal fans will be heading down to *Scape, you might wantto come and check it out,” Sean Tan, 24, a civil servant anda member of Scandal Heaven, an unofficial fan club basedhere in Singapore, told SGCafe.

Why’s that, I asked. What’s happening there tonight? Thiswas about 8.30PM on Friday evening, so the concert at*Scape wouldn’t take place until slightly less than 24 hoursfrom the time I spoke to Sean.

“Yeah, the concert’s tomorrow, but some guys I know aregoing to start queueing tonight. As the concert is freestanding, the earlier you queue, the closer you get to standto the actual performance at the concert,” Sean explained.

Other members of the fan club that SGCafe spoke toalso mentioned that many of them are going for both theSaturday and Sunday shows.

“They [Scandal] are the strongest girls band in Japan – in theworld, I think!” added Desmond Yong, 33, a service engineerand another esteemed member of the fan club.

“I don’t think there are any other bands who are all-girls, andwho can play as well as them!”

We just got back from Japanese girls band Scandal’smeet-and-greet autograph session at Bugis+, where severalhundreds of the pop rock group’s fans from Singapore andMalaysia were present to shower the girls with thunderousapplause and jubilant cheers, before getting their copies ofthe band’s latest album – Encore Show – signed lovingly bythe quartet of Haruna Ono (vocals, guitar), Mami Sasazaki(guitar, vocals), Tomomi Ogawa (bass, vocals), and RinaSuzuki (drum, vocals).

If you missed your chance to meet the girls of Scandal up-close earlier tonight, not to worry, here at SGCafe we’re gotyou covered. Here’s a short highlight clip of the autographsession that we captured on video for you to enjoy from thecomforts of your living/bedroom.

The recent Space Showers Music Video Awards 2013 hasconcluded, and here are the results:

BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR 2013

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu – Tsukematsukeru

I am really thankful for receiving Best Video of theYear award for “Tsukematsukeru” PV. It is a PV thatI spent time with Director Nakamura discussingon a suitable style, and seeing overseas cosplaysof the characters inside the “Tsukematsukeru” PV,including the lion; it is probably the reason why Itoo personally think that “Tsukematsukeru” is thedefinitive Kyary Pamyu Pamyu work through thismusic video.

It is commendable for Kyary to have noticed the cosplaysof Tsukematsukeru overseas, as not many Japanese artistesare aware of their overseas fans, especially when theyhave yet to perform at an overseas tour. Of course, Kyaryand her management has already made arrangements forthat, especially since Kyary has arrived at Taipei today fortomorrow’s live concert. This award further cements herplace as a rising artiste within the Japanese music industrynot just within Japan, but globally as well.

BEST ARTIST

Sakanaction

We are thankful to be presented with this awarddespite coming from a rural area. It has beenan honour to receive awards (from Space ShowerMusic Video Awards) 3 years in a row. We will try towork even harder, so as not to shame the Best ArtisteAward title - member Ichiro Yamaguchi

Sakanaction’s popularity is definitely rising among Indieband lovers, but has become more mainstream ever sinceclinching places in Oricon’s top 10 CD sales charts. Theelectropop/rock band has also performed in overseas inTaiwan before, and will be performing another local toursoon starting from 30 March this year.

BEST YOUR CHOICE

ONE OK ROCK – The Beginning

Winning this award was unexpected for us, and weare very happy with this win. We are especiallyhonoured to receive this award, with music videosbecoming more indispensable as we consciouslystrive to create better music. I feel that this video isable to relate to people in this current generation,expressing their hopes, dreams and aspirations, andI feel that it was a good collaboration (the songis also Live Action Rurouni Kenshin’s movie themesong) – member Taka

Without a doubt, ONE OK ROCK has been a mainstay inJapanese rock music, especially among emerging bands.Granted that the band isn’t exactly new, but when strongindividuals in the music industry form together to createa powerful band, ONE OK ROCK is exactly such a band.Having performed in Singapore at their sold-out concertin *SCAPE Warehouse last June, this particular song, “TheBeginning” has left an even larger impact with movie goerswho caught the Rurouni Kenshin live action movie locally inSingapore a couple of months ago.

More winners include Hidenobu Tanabe for garnering theBest Director Award. Tanabe has made music videos forseveral well known artistes such as Hirai Ken and Rip Slyme,as well as many others. The talented 32-year-old certainlydeserves this award with his unique style in PV directing.Special Mention Awards goes to Momoiro Clover Z for theirPV “Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimi-tachi yo” and androp withtheir “World.Words.Lights.” PV.

Of course, there’s also a brand new story set ina country resembling feudal Japan, where teens on theverge of adulthood are given the title of “samurai”, a magicgauntlet, and the responsibility of protecting the countryfrom demons.

It’s not the traditional samurai fare, but it’s intensenonetheless, expanding from the country of Mikado to amonster-ridden version of modern Tokyo. Take a look foryourself with the five-minute trailer below.

The striking character designs are done by Masayuki Doi,and the monster designs by Kazuma Kaneko, both of whomhave worked on the past MegaTen and Persona games.Plus, renowned outside artists have contributed their ownmonster designs, like Yasushi Nirasawa, who designed

monsters for the Kamen Rider franchise as well as the demonking Asmodeus from the trailer.

Those of you who are eager to do some demon-hunting justhave to wait until May 23.

Hyperdimension Neptunia —news on three new games,anime, manga, and ACEgoodsSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/hyperdimension-neptunia-news-

games-anime-manga-ace-goods/

By SunSoftware on March 19th, 2013

The Neptunia series was a hot topic at Dengeki’sThanksgiving Festival on Sunday, since members of Compile

Heart announced two brand new games, previewed anothernew game, and shared information on the upcoming animeand manga.

The Three Brand New Games

The first new game announced is “Hyper Faith Noire WildGod Black Heart”, which, as the title implies, features Noireas the protagonist. There were rumors that the PlayStation-based goddess would get her own game ever since she wona popularity contest in 2011, but fans were still shockedand ecstatic when the game was revealed. No details wererevealed other than that it will be released for the PS Vitathis year.

The second newly announced game was actually revealedat the very end of the presentation, when the words “2013,Neptunia, restart” appeared on-screen, followed by a logofor “Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1″. There was alsothe PS Vita logo, but we know nothing else about this teasedgame.

The two game announcements were exciting, but we can’tforget about the game that was teased just one week ago.That game, of course, is Hyperdimension Idol Neptunia PP.

This is an idol raising game in which the cute goddesses ofGamindustri sing and dance their way to fame. It’s a drasticshift for both the RPG series and the characters (well, maybenot the characters). On the road to becoming top idols, theplayer will help the goddesses raise skills through practicesessions, as well as arrange performances, deciding elementslike stage effects and costumes.

Not only that, but Compile Heart is collaborating withTamsoft, who helped create the PS3 dating sim Touch Shiyo!Love Application. With Tamsoft responsible for the 3Dmodeling, the goddesses will look better than ever before.

Idol Neptunia PP will be released on June 20, while the othertwo games will probably come later. There is a total of threeNeptunia games coming to the PS Vita this year, but thecraze doesn’t stop there.

The Anime and Manga

By now, you may already know of the HyperdimensionNeptunia anime airing this summer. We now know thatthe opening theme will be performed by nao, and theending theme by the idol group Afilia Saga, both of whomalso performed the opening and ending themes of thegame Hyperdimension Neptunia V. Attendants at Dengeki’sThanksgiving Festival also saw a short trailer, although itwas mute (the event coordinators sure know how to tease).

In addition to the anime, there will also be a mangaadaptation titled “Hyperdimension Neptunia: Hallo NewWorld”, drawn by Mikage Baku and serialized in DengekiMaoh. You can see a sample picture by the artist below.

The ACE Products

There’s a whole lot of Neptunia goodness coming this year,but we still have to wait until June before the first game,Idol Neptunia PP comes out. In case you can’t wait thatlong to sate your apetite, there will be these HyperdimensionNeptunia products available at Anime Contents Expo onMarch 30 and 31. If you’re going there, be sure to check theseout. If you’re not going, be sure to check the online auctionsite of your choice.

Onegai Series’ 10thanniversary site to announcesomething big on March 28Source: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/onegai-series-10th-anniversary-site-

announce-big-march-28/

By ellehaym on March 19th, 2013

The first of the Onegai series may have launched morethan a decade ago but the franchise still has somethingto offer this 2013. A countdown has officially started for“an important announcement” in the Onegai series’ 10thanniversary website.

So what’s the announcement about? Right now, the websiteisn’t revealing anything at all. The only clue that we have isthat the big announcement will be disclosed on March 28.

Here’s a refresher of what both series are about (especiallyif you’re like me who tends to forget the story of an animeseries watched ages ago):

Onegai Teacher centers on a group of friends in high school.After a new teacher arrives at their school, strange thingsstart to happen. The main protagonist is a young man namedKei Kusanagi, who is stricken by a rare disease, which causeshim to go into a coma every time he experiences severeemotional distress.

On the other hand, Onegai Twins revolves around MaikuKamishiro, Karen Onodera, and Miina Miyafuji. The three

high school students were drawn to each other by aphotograph of their childhood home. However, only a boyand a girl can be seen in this photo—which means that onlyone of the girls is related to Maiku.

Onegai Teacher originally premiered in 2002, while OnegaiTwins started airing in 2003.

Will there be a new anime series? Perhaps a light novel or agame? We’ll find out on the 28th.

By SunSoftware on March 18th, 2013

A lot of big name games took the stage at Dengeki’sThanksgiving Festival on Sunday, but apparently, one titlehad quietly sneaked in a teaser that remained unnoticeduntil it was revealed on Twitter.

In case you don’t recognize the characters in the aboveillustration, they are from Super Danganronpa 2, the PSPmurder mystery game that was released last year andreceived a Silver Rank in the Dengeki PlayStation Awards. Ifyou look closely, you’ll see that they’re all holding a PS Vita(except Monomi, who’s tied up).

This illustration went unnoticed on the Internet untilsomeone shared it on Twitter. At first, we weren’t evensure where it was from, but according to an anonymouscommentator on Moe Otanews, the picture is from theDengeki PlayStation Award Memorial Visual Book handedout at Dengeki’s Thanksgiving Festival.

Could the appearance of this illustration mean that a newDanganronpa game for the Vita is in the works?

This illustration alone may not convince you, but there’smore. On February 18, there was a presentation centeredaround the PS Vita on Sony Computer Entertainment’swebsite. At the end of the presentation, Sony featuredgameplay footage of several different games, followed bya sudden, brief cameo by Monokuma in the bottom rightcorner of the screen.

It certainly seems like the developer Spike Chunsoft isteasing a Danganronpa game for the Vita. Although thishasn’t been confirmed, you can still look forward to theDanganronpa anime coming this summer.

Create manga scenes usingyour food and these OnePiece-themed platesSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/create-manga-scenes-food-piece-

themed-plates/

By ellehaym on March 16th, 2013

Can’t draw your own manga? No worries!

Shueisha’s online store Mekke! has found a way on how toeasily create a simple manga. All you need to do is creativelyposition your food on their One Piece-themed dining plates.

These plates come in two designs. Both dishes have thesound effect “Don” (ババ), which Eiichiro Oda frequently usesin the One Piece manga.

One design makes you place your viand at the center of theplate to make it look like the characters are going “wow” overit.

The other design is more amazing. You need to cut your fooditem into two pieces and put them separately on the plate.That way, it would seem like Zoro was the one who cut thefood into half.

Both items are priced at 1,600 JPY (20.92 SGD) and will shipin late April. Reservations for these One Piece-themed plateshave already commenced.

Japan truly has extraordinary ideas when it comes tocreating manga—you don’t even have to draw them yourself!Recently, a special website inspired by Perfume’s manga-themed music video, Mirai no Museum, was launched. Thiswebsite gives you the chance to recreate a scene from the MVusing your own script.

In the time since The Idolm@ster 2 was released for theXbox 360 and PS3, the franchise has received the animeproduced by A-1 Pictures, the short series Puchimasu!,the spin-off Shiny Festa, and the social games CinderellaGirls and Million Live. Of course, there are also severalmanga series, countless CDs and live performances, and therecently announced movie.

When asked about the reason of the franchise’s popularity,Sakagami commented, “Everyday, people are under a lot ofstress, so when they see a hardworking girl, they can’t helpbut cheer her on. I think working with all your strength withthe characters and music is its strong point. Even the peoplewho watch the anime or online videos without playing thegames are important fans.”

Although he didn’t give any future plans, when he was asked,“What would you do if Im@s was invited to perform onNHK’s Kohaku? (the largest annual music show in Japan)”Sakagami promptly replied, “I want to go!”

We’ll have to wait to hear any hard information on TheIdolm@ster 3, or whether the Idolm@ster stars will really beon Kohaku. In the meantime, you can enjoy the many games,anime, manga, and CDs that already exist.

Gainax reveals two potentialanime: Sadon-Desu and Thereis a Reason Why We YawnSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/gainax-reveals-potential-anime-

sadon-desu-reason-yawn/

By SunSoftware on March 22nd, 2013

Gainax, the studio responsible for hits like Neon GenesisEvangelion, made an appearance at the Tokyo InternationalAnime Fair, where they revealed Sadon-Desu and Akubiwo Suru ni Wake ga Aru, two anime projects that aren’t inproduction yet.

The first project is Sadon-Desu, an anime adaptation ofthe four-panel manga drawn by Kyo Hatsuki. The manga,which has been serialized in Kodansha’s Young Magazinesince last November, is centered around a high school girlnamed Koume who enters a tea ceremony club. The nameSadon-Desu is pronounced the same way as “sudden death”in Japanese, although that has no obvious relationship withtea ceremonies. The anime hasn’t been green-lit, but if themanga becomes popular enough, it will happen eventually.

The second project is an original anime called Akubi woSuru ni wa Wake ga Aru (There is a Reason Why We Yawn).The story is set in Japan in the year 2093, after the mostrespected town in the world has sunk thirty meters below thesurface of the ocean. A young girl goes free diving to explorethe sunken town, where she undergoes an emotional change.

PlayStation 4 — socialfeatures, DualShock 4, andEyeSource: http://sgcafe.com/2013/03/ps4-network-features-dualshock-4-

eye/

By SunSoftware on March 28th, 2013

It has been one month since Sony revealed the PlayStation4, and everyone is hungry for more info. Today, Sony hasgiven an in-depth, technical preview of the next generationof gaming. These details were given at the Game DevelopersConference in San Francisco, courtesy of SCE America’sSenior Staff Engineer Chris Norden.

Social Features

When the PS4 boots up, it opens to a “digest” screen whereyou can see information like what your friends are playing,or what DLC has just been released. You will have the optionto use your friends’ real names instead of their PSN IDs.You will also see your real name in certain games — say, forexample, you might see your friend’s name on a billboardin Grand Theft Auto. In addition, Sony will increase thenumber of friends you can have, in case the 100-friend limitisn’t enough.

As Sony showed last month, the new Share button letsplayers upload videos of their game while they’re playing. Bypressing the Share button, you can open a video clip editorwith the last few minutes of gameplay, and you can pickwhich section to upload. You can also take a screenshot byholding down the Share button, and you can leave commentson other people’s videos like on YouTube.

DualShock 4

The biggest new addition to the DualShock controller is thetouchpad, which can detect two fingers at once, clicks whenit is pressed, and has a 1920×900 resolution.

There is also a light bar that changes color when playing localmultiplayer — blue for player 1, red for player 2, green forplayer 3, and pink for player 4, similar to the PlayStationMove controller.

The face buttons and L1/R1 buttons will be digital instead ofanalog and pressure-sensitive like the previous DualShockcontrollers, which will improve response time.

The controller has a built-in speaker, but players can alsoplug in a headset.

Lastly, the controller can be charged while connected to thePS4, if the console is on standby.

PS4 Eye

Page 65: SGcafe Anime News For Otaku Mar 2013 Issue

March 30th, 2013 Published by: VR-Zone

4

The PS4 Eye has two cameras that are capable of 1280×800resolution, compared to the PS3 Eye’s and Kinect’s 640×400resolution. You can choose to decrease the resolution inorder to increase the response rate. The Eye also has awider field of view and a four-microphine setup that allowsdirectional listening.

Other Info

At GDC, Norden also gave details on the PS4′s hardwarespecs and developer tools. They sound a bit too complexfor those of us who aren’t tech savvy, but in short, the PS4is more powerful than any game console currently on themarket, it will be energy efficient, and developers will havean easier time making games for the system compared to thePS3.

Finally, Sony also announced a PlayStation App for Appleand Android smartphones. The app will let you browse andbuy games on the PlayStation Store even when you leaveyour house.

With all that said, there’s still a lot we don’t know about thePS4, such as what the console looks like, how much it willcost, and when it will be released. It will probably be a whileuntil we get a chance to play it ourselves, but it seems likeSony’s next-generation console will be a powerhouse.

And so it seems that Kojima trolls us once again, with MetalGear Solid 5.

Announced just moments ago at Game DevelopersConference 2013 at San Francisco, together with an official6 minute trailer of the game. The trailer combines footagefrom Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and the misleading‘Phantom Pain’ game, that Kojima Productions cleverlychose to keep shush on all details pertaining to the footage.

It was a clever step to hype up on the development of MetalGear Solid 5, by producing not one but two different trailersthroughout the past years. And a nice surprise it sure did.

Kojima Productions also chose this time to hire more staffto work on their upcoming projects. With slots for both theirLos Angeles and Japan studios open, one can apply for bothin positions such as Character Artists, Programmers andGame Designers. However, such individuals must have morethan 4 years of experience in this field.
