It’s a hard life for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, it’ll be the first shooter with a modern setting to come after Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and inevitably comparisons between the two will be drawn. After a recent hands-on with the beta trial on PlayStation 3 however, BF: BC 2 is shaping up to be more than a match for Infinity Ward’s MW2.
According to Andriasang (via FF-XIII.net), a new trailer of Final Fantasy Versus XIII was shown at Jump Fiesta overnight.
Not much details of the trailer is known thus far, but from what has been said already. The trailer does start with main character Noctis been picked up from the highway before the car speeds away. We don’t know more then what’s already been said other then that.
However, there are three important things to consider:
1) The trailer was shown in real time.
2) It was shown at Square’s Closed Mega Theatre.
But the most important thing of all is what was said at the end of the trailer:
“Revelation will come next time.”
We want this next trailer… NOW!
Final Fantasy Versus XIII will release when the world is coming to an end, exclusively to the PlayStation 3.

There has been many games in development for a long time, with several of them announced in 2oo5. Arguably, Gran Turismo 5 and Red Dead Redemption is two of them games, but probably the biggest of the lot is almost certainly Alan Wake.
While Gran Turismo 5 has had several demos and GT5: Prologue released, with Rockstar working on several projects before RDR, Alan Wake was probably the game that has gone MIA the most this generation. But finally, it seems, we WILL get our hands on Remedy’s new IP next year.
The question is can Alan Wake really be the game it promised to be four years ago?
First shown off at E3 2009, the Sony motion control ‘wand’ has been subject of much interest, with it being recently rumoured to be called Gem after a leak by EA.
Now gadget magazine T3 (you may remember their PS3 Slim concept) have weighed in with their concept pictures of what Gem could look like.
Pics are after the break.
We all knew Final Fantasy XIII would be big, and today Square Enix have announced the sales figures from Japan to back it up, with the game shifting over 1 million copies in its first 24 hours of being on shelves.
The sales figures though don’t include the Lightning Edition PS3 bundle, so if you were to include those the figure would be slightly higher.

It was Niko’s walk that really got me in GTA IV. The way the immigrant swaggered, shoulders rolling, feet pumping the ground, leaning into each corner. It put so much character into something as simple as walking; you knew, right from the start, he was here to chew gum and kick ass.
So, Red Dead Redemption is leisurely strolling to our consoles, and the walk is back, albeit changed slightly. Arms slightly outstretched, large, unnatural sides, palms facing backwards, and a look that’s melt and burn butter simultaneously.
