Much like what we’ve seen with Dead Space, a survival horror title, Dante’s Inferno, a game based on a “definitive view of the afterlife”, will be getting the animated treatment in the form of a animated feature; this is no new announcement, Electronic Arts announced the animated feature along time ago, however, this is the first trailer.

Tracking Dante’s decent into hell, the upcoming animated feature follows his pursuit to retain the soul of his beloved, Beatrice. In which, Dante encounters “many gruesome forms of evil” that dwell within circles of hell. This animated feature will release in February 2010, the same month that Dante’s Inferno is unleashed upon the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Sony PSP. Enjoy the very entertaining trailer.

First things first, Sucker Punch hasn’t announced that they’re developing another inFamous title. However, according to voice actor David Sullivan, he’s auditioning for the re-casting for Cole for the inFamous sequel. “Re-casting” in the sense of Sullivan replacing Jason Cottle, who originally played as Cole in the first game.

“First voiceover/motion capture audition today for a video game,” said actor David Sullivan over Twitter this morning. “Re-casting of Cole in the sequel of inFamous. ‘I’ll melt your face.’ e.g” However, back to the fact at hand, according Cottle’s IMDB profile, it reveals that Cottle’s currently not working on anything. Leaving one to wonder what’s going on with Cottle’s placement as Cole (maybe it has something to do with money?).

Anyway, Sullivan is best known for his role in 2004′s independent time-traveling film Primer, and according to actress Yvette Nicole Brown, who voiced Moya in the first game, “[Sullivan] would be AWESOME as ‘Cole’!”

Besides recent reports, it seems that unannounced Final Fantasy project is alive and well. According to a report posted by GameIndustry.biz, sources confirmed that the unannounced Final Fantasy project that was in development at GRIN is now in development over at Square Enix.

You see, Square took the project off GRIN’s hands after only six months of development due to concerns over quality. Sadly, because business laws in Sweden prohibits companies from going into debt without severe penalties, GRIN was subsequently to bear its wage burden without new projects, and had to closed its doors. Square didn’t respond to the news.

I know that we’re a little slow on the outtake of this information, but it’s news none the less. Anyway, during Sony‘s GamesCom press conference, Sony announced the 3.0 firmware update for PlayStation 3.

The update will change the way you navigate the system such as adding animated themes, a redesigned friends list, premium avatars, new Trophy features, and a new status indicator at the top-right hand corner of the screen – that will now show how many friends you have online, and how unread many manages you have.

Firmware 3.0 will also include a “What’s New” section, and TV services such as BBC iPlayer. These features will release on September 1.

In all the recent videos, not including the ones at E3, Final Fantasy XIII has been featured with it’s translated English dialog. However, we can now confirm that, that should no longer be an issue. Because Square Enix has revealed that they have completed the remainder of all the English dialog for Final Fantasy XIII.

“Sweet! English VO for FFXIII is complete,” stated Square Enix’s Klee Kuo twitter feed.

And you thought you that you couldn’t get enough Halo. During the San Diego Comic-Con, Microsoft revealed its plans for an anime-style Halo miniseries entitled “Halo Legends“.

“Five production houses in Japan are handling the physical animation, but Microsoft’s creative staff is approving major visual and storytelling decisions,” said Frank O’Connor, creative director for 343 Industries, the Microsoft division that oversees all Halo products to the LA Times.

Those five well-known anime studios are Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G, Studio4 C, and Toei Animation. They’ll be playing key parts in “Halo Legends” seven-part series product. “Halo Legends” will release on DVD and “digital platforms” in early 2010 through Warner Bros.

“If you look at how George Lucas held on to ‘Star Wars,’ not just to make money from action figures but to control the direction the universe went in, you can see why we think it’s pretty vital,” said O’Connor. “Luckily, Microsoft has the resources to enable us to do that.”

Disney has released a new video clip from Pixar’s upcoming movie Up on Hulu introducing us to Dug, a talking dog that is very delightfull. Anyway, Carl and Russell come across Dug while wandering through the wilderness in South America.

In addition, the clip also features a gigantic rainbow colored bird nicknamed Kevin that has been following the duo since Russell feed him a chocolate. 

In the shadow of the dating and pricing of the DLC, it now seems that Sega would like to continue the story of ‘Valkyria Chronicles’ in the form of a sequel.

In a report by PS3center, it was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu Weekly, that the games producer Nonaka Ryutaro was ecstatic that Valkyria was embraced by the Japanese public in the way it was. He was also excited about the  anime’s debut, explaining that the anime served as another means to further develop the IP.

However, in light of the recent popularity, Ryutaro told the magazine that he really wanted to do a sequel to the game, and he was adamant about not leaving the game at just one title.

Electronic Arts announced today that they have decided to change Dante’s Inferno’s release target from within this year to sometime within 2010.

They have also confirmed that Starz Media will be creating an animated feature film based on the title – though no release date for the project has been given. If you remember, Starz Media are the same folks responsible for the animated feature film for Dead Space entitled Dead Space: Downfall, which we saw last year.

“The feature-length project will expand on the story in EA’s new, must-have game coming out for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system in 2010,” an official statement reads. Dante’s Inferno will available for PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360 platforms.

In light of the Final Fantasy XIII countdown on the Final Fantasy XII website, which started some time last week promising ‘a new vision’, it looks like it is finally over, but what has it left behind for all to see.

When you visit the website you will see a brand new Final Fantasy XIII trailer from Square-Enix, but, sadly, the trailer isn’t visible in English, yet, but it does keep its promise of “a new vision [being] revealed to the world.”

I’m a big fan of the underwater adventure, Bioshock, but one think that really did made me think was a simple question, “who is Rosenberg?” I’m mean the character seemed as if he was way more powerful then Andrew Ryan. And right before you confront Andrew Ryan, in a sub-room, Ryan has a jumbled wall of pictures and news clippings with the words “Would you kindly?”, which shows how every one is connected.

But there was shadowy figure that is the only one that is tied to Ryan, and cut off by Ryan. So Matt of the unofficial Bioshock 2 forums did some digging into it and he found an audio diary that has the only information about Rosenberg.

“Transcript: Diane, my dear, I’m sorry but I’ll be late again tonight… Rosenberg is demanding to speak about this Fontaine business. I’m trying to build a proper financial market and this idiot keeps going on about Adam this and genetic modification that. I’ll go spend an hour pretending to pay attention to the poor fellow and be home as soon as I can.”

Rosenberg is the most likely new character for Bioshock 2, for the simple fact that rumors circulating the Bioshock 2 community state it will be both a sequel and prequel, that fits perfectly for Rosenberg.

According to Kingdom Hearst Insiders , a member of their community forums has posted a post stating that Square or Disney has been auditioning people to voice the Organization XIII members. And guest what, they say that the game that they are auditioning for is ‘Chains of Memories’ . Which was remade into a PlayStation 2 game titled Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories , which was released in Japan packaged with Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in March 2007.

“The casting people/paperwork are/is specifically calling it ‘Kingdom Hearts Chains of Memories’ and are SPECIFICALLY casting the 5 Organization members that I named in the article, all of whom were in CoM and don’t have cast English voice actors (outside of those 5 I don’t know if anyone else is being cast in any fashion, although I THINK those were the only 5 characters who are in CoM who don’t already have English actors from KH/KH2).”

This news was later called ” not untrue” by Neogaf Member Aeana, who is well known for her insider information. And unlike previous rumors, KHInsider actually believes this one to be true. However, it is still a rumor, and should be treated as one until we have official word.

Here a very interesting rumour which circulates on the Net, Yoshitaka Amano (designer on Final Fantasy) is joining Ubisoft to work on Beyond Good & Evil 2! Obviously few additional information was giving. One can always request to see a continuation of this game, in spite of his innumerable qualities, not known discounted success.
