Calls it ‘a long shot’ Never give up hope!Pixelitisspotted a ray of hope on theCapcom-Unity forumsfor a domestic release of the PSP port of RPGBreath of Fire III, which was released in Japan in 2005, and later in Europe. Never here, though.Capcom executive Christian Svensson recently dropped this nugget on the release: I’ll never say never, and I am looking into one way to put it back into North American circulation, but it’s a long shot....

Seen at multiple retailers The Witcher 3— am I right, guys? That’s basically all you need to say before a back-patting ceremony ensues, congratulating one another for playing Geralt’s latest adventure. It’s pretty damn good, and with all of the sales under CD Projekt Red’s belt, it makes sense that a special edition package is coming at some point. Or does it? Fans found multiple listings for an “Enhanced Edition” set for February 5 of this year, (at e-leclerc....

The Last Cardriver Sony Pictures Entertainment, (yes, really), has released thefirst full trailerfor its upcoming big-screen adaptation of one of the most successful driving simulators of all time,Gran Turismo. The new film, directed by Neill Blomkamp (District 9, CHAPPiE) will arrive in theaters this August. ‘Now that’s whatI’mtalkin’ about!’ While I see the potential in this surprising adaptation — great cars driving fast makes for an awesome spectacle, after all — I can’t help but wonder if we might not ultimately be looking at a two-hour ad for PlayStation hardware,Gran Turismogames, and car manufacturers....

Same Creating a cultural phenomenon is a weird thing. Often times you see the top minds retreat into a hole somewhere, or try to desperately move away from being known as “the guy/gal who made one thing.” On other occasions, they fall in love with their creation and make more of it throughout their lifetime. And in more complex situations, like Hideo Kojima, they feel simultaneously proud and imprisoned by it....

Green flag drops a little early The release ofCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledmay still be a couple of weeks away, but that hasn’t stopped publisher Activision from putting the pedal to the metal and releasing a “launch” trailer for the updated PS1 classic. The new video whizzes through a selection of tracks, hazards, vehicles and characters, also giving us a glimpse at some of the fun and daft customisation options available in the full game....

We here at Destructoid love our robots. In fact, you know my boss? He’s a freakin’ robot! How cool is that? So it’s with great pleasure that I bring you word thatCustom Robo Arenais coming to the Nintendo DS on March 19th. While the originalCustom Robothat hit the GameCube only has a 65% average review rating over atMetaCritic, the 14 users who voted gave it a respectable 8.5. So at least 14 people will pick up a copy when it his shelves, but why should you?...

A multitude of features in the works Dean “Rocket” Hall and the rest of the folks at Bohemia Interactive have been pretty busy working on the standalone version ofDayZand this new developer video helps shed some light on what they have been polishing. Improvements to player health, inventory, and zombie pathfinding have been made, as well as implementing zombie spwaning from the server-side.

Well, let’s see, what do we know aboutDemon’s Soulsso far: Atlus game, hard as hell (this should be a given from the first thing I listed), packed with extra goodies if you preorder it (also a given). Add to that list that if you order the Deluxe Edition, you apparently get even more: along with the embossed slipcase version of the game, a strategy game, an art book, and the soundtrack....

Still not tired of SRPGs NIS has released a new video forDisgaea 5, and the animations and insane special attacks are as crazy as ever. I’m really loving the landscapes this time around, as there seems to be a lot more diversity when it comes to the actual battleground locations. Like most of NIS’ trailers, you’ll get a great look at nearly every supporting character, as well as a ton of gameplay and cutscene goodness....

To November 1 AlthoughFinal Fantasy XIVis supported by hefty content patches every three months or so (which follow the same pattern of catch-up, hardcore raid content, catch-up, and so on), it also sports random themed events from time to time. That includes the annual “All Saints Wake” celebration, which is themed after Halloween and typically includes a short (hour max) questline, as well as the ability to earn various bits of spooky gear like vampire robes or cat outfits....

Mitt Romney was on the board of directors when GameStop was NeoStar A few days ago, we heard that retailerGameStopcould begearing up for“getting involved at the time of game development where there could be some content exclusive to [the retailer] included in the game.” Naturally, few people who play games like this, just as they dislike retail exclusive pre-order nonsense. GameStop CEO Paul Raines, speaking toTime, explained, perhaps missing the bone of contention: “I think it’s pretty clear to me, and that’s that you won’t see us involved in the creative process....

Last week, we told you about the German groupattempting a modern-daybook burning by having people bring in their violent videogames and toss them into the garbage. The Action Alliance believes that videogames are the root of all violent acts and it will all magically go away by having these evil games thrown away.The game dumping event took place this past Saturday and a total of three games and one CD were tossed into the garbage....
