Rochard Available on PlayStation Network Sep 28th 2011, 14:49 Rochard Calls on Players to Man-Up and Save the Day. SAN DIEGO and HELSINKI, FINLAND - Sept. 27, 2011 - Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) and Recoil Games today release Rochard, the gravity-defying, side-scrolling, puzzle-platforming, astro-mining action adventure, available exclusively on the PlayStation®Network. Rochard tells the tale of John Rochard, voiced by Jon St. John, a prominent voice actor best known for his role as Duke Nukem® in the Duke Nukem video game franchise. John is an average, everyday astro-miner who becomes a hero when his team of universal prospectors accidentally discovers an ancient alien artifact hidden deep in an asteroid. To protect humanity as he knows it, John must defeat evil space pirates and rescue his missing team members using only his wits and gravity defying ‘G-Lifter.’ With this power tool Rochard can literally bend the laws of physics to manipulate gravity in fun and inventive ways, to solve complex puzzles, and ultimately save the day. "Rochard rocks the indie scene with a witty storyline and unique gravity-bending action gameplay that should only be experienced on the PlayStation®Network," said Christopher Sturr, executive director of business development and corporate strategy at SOE. "With a focus on creative design, Rochard is a truly inspired title that defies design boundaries and presents a sarcastic twist to the puzzle-platforming genre." Developed by Recoil Games, Rochard is an original space adventure game that challenges players to use coordination and logic to manipulate gravity on the fly and overcome dangerous obstacles and deadly foes to advance. By using the upgradable G-Lifter, the main tool of the game, players lift and maneuver heavy objects around the environment, and jump and propel themselves across huge chasms and onto towering elevations throughout each level. The hybrid puzzle-platform gameplay is buoyed by humor, slick visuals and clever audio touches. The game’s challenges require more than just a quick trigger finger; players have room to improvise their way through both combat and puzzles using increasingly powerful tools at their disposal. "We are incredibly proud of Rochard and the praise we have received for the game from across the globe, including two ‘Best of’ awards from press at this year’s Gamescom 2011," said Samuli Syvahuoko, CEO of Recoil Games Ltd. "The time has finally come to put our clever and distinctive action adventure in the hands of gamers- and we couldn’t be more excited. When floating through low gravity, solving puzzles and tossing boxes at space pirates, we are confident players will find Rochard to be a fun game to sink their teeth into this fall." Rochard is now available in North America on the PlayStation Network for $9.99 USD. The game is rated T for Teen by the ESRB for fantasy violence, suggestive themes and mild language.

viedogame: Nippon Ichi announces The Witch and the Hundred Calvarymen

viedogame All of the News. Can you keep up?. // via fulltextrssfeed.com

Nippon Ichi announces The Witch and the Hundred Calvarymen Sep 28th 2011, 04:33 PS3 action game to be out in spring 2012 in Japan. Last August, Japanese developer Nippon Ichi stated that it would soon unveil a quartet of new games it had under development. According to a recent issue of Dengeki PlayStation (translated via Andriasang), the company has finally revealed one of them: an action RPG titled The Witch and the Hundred Calvarymen. Nippon Ichi teased spectators with the game's concept art last August. Billed as an action RPG, the game's story is about the witch Metallica who plans to overthrow her rival--the forest witch--by using an army of "Hyakkihei" soldiers. Players will have direct control over the first "Hyakkihei" soldier; they have to summon 99 other soldiers via Metallica's magic. These soldiers act as temporary helpers in fighting off the forest witch's minions, as well as bolster the first soldier's stats and abilities. The game is laid out in stages, with each of them containing multiple paths to other new stages. If a player were to die halfway in a stage without reaching a save point, they will lose whatever items they collected but still retain their level. In addition, the action RPG will also have an item synthesis system and a tribe system where players can either make enemies or become an ally with the game's AI-controlled tribes across the game map. The title's single-player mode will contain 30 hours of gameplay excluding side quests. Nippon Ichi also said that the game will have no loading times when players transition between towns and the game world. Disgaea designer Takehito Harada will be in charge of the game's graphics and character designs while composer Tenpei Satou will be doing the music. The Witch and the Hundred Calvarymen will be out in spring 2012 in Japan. An English version of the title has yet to be confirmed.
