Jet Set Radio HD Trailer and Screenshots

Not too long ago Sega announced that it would be making plans to release one of it's most classic and beloved games "Jet Set Radio" onto the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. Now after a weekthey have provided screenshots and a trailer for the re-release of the game and it's looking just as great maybe ever greater than when it first debut on the Sega Dreamcast.



The trailer gives a first look at some in-game footage for Jet Set Radio HD. Seeing the return of Beat and his “Graffiti Gang Gangsters taking on rival gangs and corrupt police in glorious HD is jaw dropping. I already attempted to lace up my rollerskates and do a bit of tagging but that  didn't go quite so well, maybe next time I will get it going.
    
 
 

Devil May Cry Franchise Getting the HD Re-Release Treatment?

A lot of HD re-releases have come about these days; not that it's a bad thing. It seems pretty nifty for people who have never experienced gaming franchises and some that do it for the nostalgic factor. Not to mention that these re-releases are some of the most beloved franchises after all these years and with another addition like Devil May Cry, it's really a definite thing that many gamers damned excited.

Earlier this week, G4TV reported that it's been spotted on the official ESRB website that the games, from the first installment to the third game, have been re-rated and also labeled for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, with the exception of the original Playstation 2 rating, as noticed on there as well. It's pretty damn awesome and cool for gamers when things like this happen, but kind of a bummer when the ESRB outs big surprises like this.

As a fan of Devil May Cry, I'm keeping this on my radar!

Silent Hill HD Collection Coming

Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 will finally be getting bloody HD releases, Konami announced this at their pre-E3 conference. There are no details whatsoever at this point about what platform these remasters will be released on, when they'll be released, and no screenshots or a trailer. Just know that when these do hit, prepare to be scared.

Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection and The Last Guardian Delayed

Via the Playtation Blog, Sony Computer Entertainment has announced today that the remastered Ico and Shadow of the Colossus games, as well as The Last Guardian, are all unfortunately delayed. With all of these titles by the legendary Team ICO and mastermind, Fumito Ueda, announced at Tokyo Game Show with release dates, it's pretty dumb to hear that this happened, especially with Ico/Shadow of the Colossus remasters were suposed to be released around this time. The Last Guardian, on the other hand was supposed to be released this holiday.

"I announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show that the release timing of The Last Guardian which is currently being developed would be holiday 2011. However, to provide more challenging and better quality of content to users and to fulfill First Party Studio’s obligations, I decided to postpone its release timing," says Fumito Ueda in a statement. "All the members of my production team are working together at a fast pace to develop and release the game in First Party Studio quality.I sincerely apologize to all the customers who have been waiting for “The Last Guardian” for so long, but I beg for your patience. I will also announce the new release timing at a later time."

Here's hoping that the release dates for all games won't be that much later. Fingers crossed!

New Nintendo HD Console to be Unveiled at E3 2011?

Well, well, well, Nintendo. Seems like you have something up your sleeve, eh? Today, Game Informer reported that many sources have been confirming that Nintendo may be unveiling a new console at the "Superbowl of Videogames," otherwise known as E3 2011 in June. Many of the anonymous sources that Game Informer has spoken to said that this new HD console maybe even more powerful than the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, or at least up there in terms of graphics.

Another source has been confirming that Nintendo has been showcasing the new console to developers already to get some appeal and possibly development kits for developers.

"[It's] not a gimmick like the Wii," says another source, which also leads to more speculation if whether or not developers will definitely take advantage of this new system.

With E3 just 2 months away, it's hard to not think about this when small leaks like this happen, I mean look at how the Nintendo 3DS info started spreading and then came along E3; it was real!
