What’s the point in blending in? Sure, you totally could release another first-person shooter set in a contemporary conflict — or you could be 3D Dot Game Heroes. Apparently the game has the most interesting hero in 3D. Well, that’s according to this trailer, which deserves some kind of award for being straight-up bonkers.

Sony Wish They Would Have Published Demon's Souls Outside Of Japan.

Demon’s Souls is a rare beast. The game, developed in conjunction between Sony and From Software, has gone on to become one of Playstation’s system sellers in the US – all due to favourable word of mouth. The game’s sold nearly over 250,000 copies. So why did Sony pass the publishing off to Atlus then?

“That was a mistake,” said SCE localisation liaison Yeonkyung Kim. “It should have come out as a first-party title.”

Kim went on to state that original sales estimates for the game were no higher than 15,000. We doubt Sony will make the same mistake for Demon’s Souls 2. Expect that game to get a big push.

Demon's Souls: Rock Solid. And Due A Sequel.

Demon’s Souls is officially the hardest game ever. Probably. And it looks like it’s set to get a sequel in Japan this Fall, according to comments made by Dengeki magazine on their podcast.

There’s still no mention of a European release for the original Demon’s Souls, which has gone on to become something of a sleeper hit in the US since Atlus ported it late last year.

A Demon’s Souls 2 would presumably whip that niche audience into a mild frenzy.

And The Award For Best Video Game Visual Style Goes To...

One of our most anticipated, yet understated, releases of this year, 3D Dot Game Heroes, has been announced for release this coming May 14th in Europe. That’s just a few days after the US release (May 11th).

The game’s a next-generation re-imagining of something akin to Nintendo’s Legend Of Zelda. Really should be on everyone’s radar this game.

Oh innuendo, our good friend whom never fails to raise a smile across our wizened, jaded old lips. Take this trailer for the upcoming PS3 exclusive 3D Dot Game Heroes. It’s supposed to be about increasing the size of your weapon, but we can’t seem to say that without sounding filthy.

Atlus are playing a joke on us, right?

3D Dot Game Heroes Is Coming To Europe This May.

When it comes to super-obscure Japanese RPGs on Playstation 3, it seems like Demons Souls taught everyone a lesson: obscure as the games may be by nature, people still want to play them. Since its launch in the US, the Playstation 3 exclusive Demons Souls has become somewhat of a cult classic, requiring a reprint due to exceeding sales.

With Demons Souls having seen launch in the US a good few years back, From Software have since released 3D Dot Game Heroes, an homage to classic Legend Of Zelda titles. Recognising the importance of these titles worldwide, SCEE has today announced on the Playstation Blog that 3D Dot Game Heroes will see release in Europe.

The game’s due in May, and will be published by SouthPeak games exclusively for the Playstation 3. Consider us absolutely stoked.

Say, Reckon That 5 Has Anything To Do With Armored Core?

It’s totally not concrete or anything, but we’d suggest that glowing orange “5″ that’s appeared on armoredcore.net/ac5/ might possibly have a little something to do with well, Armored Core 5. We’re not making promises or anything. MAYBE!

Guess we’ll find out at the “BEGINNING” on January 14th, right?
