Final Fantasy Versus XIII was announced over six years ago as part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis sequence; an expected reveal earlier this year was unaccountably delayed. We may hear more on September 1.

Survival horror’s favourite offworld engineer prepares for his next outing in Dead Space 3, the resident intergalactic psychiatrist, Doctor AC Asimov, gives Isaac Clarke a once over. New screens inside. Doctor Asimov: Mr Clarke, please come in and take a seat.
Isaac Clarke, whose Class 1 Snow Suit makes him wider than the doorway outside of which he stands, struggles to squeeze through it sideways. Clarke chips the paintwork, gets wedged in and takes a chunk out of the doorframe in the process of entering the room. He looks at the doctor and grimaces apologetically.
DA: Never mind that, Mr Clarke. Please, sit down. Clarke perches on a chair, his hulking, RIG-clad frame causes it to creak and groan in protest.
DA: Now, as you know, we’re here to discuss your recent, brief foray to Tau Volantis. The higher-ups have asked that I speak to you about how you got on and whether you’re comfortable with going back there on a longer term basis. So, how do you feel it went? Isaac Clarke: … DA: Mr Clarke? This will be a lot easier if you co-operate IC: … DA: Mr Clar… Ah yes, of course, the selective mutism. That’s still plaguing you, it seems? IC: Well, yes, doc; that is to say that someti… DA: I’m sorry, Mr Clarke, could you speak up, please? Clarke frowns, clears his throat and, with visible effort, starts again. IC: Yes, doc. The mutism, it… well it comes and goes.
IC: Yes, doc. The mutism, it… well it comes and goes. Sometimes it will strike at the damndest of moments. DA: I see. But it’s much improved since I first saw you back in 2008, yes? It was very serious back then, rendering you entirely speechless for no discernible reason, as I recall. Clarke nods; then, seeming to think better of it, opens his mouth to reaffirm the progress he’s made. IC: Yes, it’s much better than it was but it still affects me. Recently I was asked whether I’d mind the idea of having a partner accompany me on future missions and I just couldn’t find my voice. Knowing that I’ve always done my best work alone I shook my head, I shook my head pretty emphatically, doc, but it seemed like the people asking me the question weren’t really asking for my opinion; like they’d already made up their mind. DA: I see. I understand that in your most recent training session you spent some
Clarke shifts in his seat, and hears the faint crackle of wood as it begins to splinter, he looks down at his hands, embarrassed. DA: Mr Clarke? IC: It was weird, doc. DA: Define, “weird” for me, Mr Clarke. IC: Well, initially, the company dropped me into a ship and it felt like I’d been there before, but they assured me that it was in fact “brand new” and represented an “exciting, dynamic experience”. I dunno, doc, stomping around the corridors of that old, decommissioned ship on my own, it felt a lot like when I went back to the Ishimura, after it had been taken out of service. DA: I see, and how did that make you feel? IC: Well, I felt comfortable, it felt good to be back, to be honest. DA: You weren’t “back”, Mr Clarke, this represents a new experience, remember?
IC: Well, yeah sure, but it felt reassuring; everything worked as I remembered. Except the doors, they’ve done something odd to them so that I have to open a lot of them using kinesis, instead of just pressing the open button. DA: I see. Anything else? IC: Yeah, they put the frighteners on me a coupla times; which made me smile. The Company told me that they’ve toned it down, something about previous participants not enjoying the necromorphs bursting through walls and whatnot, but they still managed to make me jump. The new toys are pretty cool, too. DA: Just a minute, Mr Clarke, are you saying that you enjoyed that feeling of being scared? I’d like to explore that a little more, rather than just brushing it aside.
The doctor consults his notes. DA: This would be Mr Redfield, that you’re referring to now, yes? IC: Yep, Chris Redfield. After I’d been unable to make my voice heard when they suggested buddying me up, I gave Chris a call to find out how he’d dealt with it. We had a good chat and it helped me to put things into perspective, he had it much worse than me, for sure; that Sheva woman followed him around the whole damn time, Chris said it drove him nuts. DA: Well, at least we don’t have to worry about that with you, Mr Clarke Clarke eyes the doctor, unsure of whether he’s making a joke at his expense. DA: Tell me about the “new toys”, that you mentioned, Mr Clarke. IC: Right, sure, well it seems the company has left a load of spare materials around – in some pretty odd places, frankly – and I can collect them up to create new kit and some new toys.
Todd Papy, director on God of War: Ascension, has said Kratos will be more “likable” and “somewhat” relatable in the game, compared to previous outings. Speaking with Game Informer, Papy said that while our Spartan hero will still be “somewhat ruthless,” there will be a “side to him that you could somewhat relate to.”
“And that was something I wanted to get across,” said Papy, adding that Kratos was a bit of an “*******” in God of War 3.
“The whole idea behind the story is more, ‘how do you undo selling your soul to the devil?’ In essence, that is the question that we are answering in this story,” Papy continued.
“Where does Kratos pick up roughly six months to a year after he killed his wife and kid? What’s his mental state? It’s not a very pleasant one.”
As if you didn’t get enough of Sleeping Dogs footage earlier, Square has released a new walkthough video for the game which featuring producer Dan Sochan.

They say this trailer was briefly posted to GameTrailers and captured before it could be hastily retracted. They say it shows off the story of Assassin’s Creed III’s multiplayer mode. They say you better look at it quick before Ubisoft has six kinds of legal fits and yanks it. It seems quite likely GameTrailers might have a multiplayer preview for the anticipated sequel, and as Eurogamer points out, the footage includes snippets of development tools, which is an excellent explanation for why it might have been pulled.
In case it does vanish forever, the trailer includes a voice over speculated to be Abstergo’s Warren Vidic, and is framed as a pitch for the commerc
In case it does vanish forever, the trailer includes a voice over speculated to be Abstergo’s Warren Vidic, and is framed as a pitch for the commercial version of the Animus.
The new Wolf Pack multiplayer mode is shown, along with Wanted, Manhunt, Artifact Assault, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.
There’s also mention of a Story Quest section where players can unlock plot sections as they level up.
Assassin’s Creed III launches at the end of October on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, is expected on PC by the end of the year, and is probably coming to Wii U, too.
US retailer chain GameStop is looking into enabling downloadable games to be sold on by consumers – bringing the used game trade to digital distribution, in other words. GameStop CEO CEO Paul Raines told Gamespot a recent European ruling which potentially enables digital on-sell is “very interesting”.
“There are some technologies out there in Europe, and we’ve looked at a couple that are involved. We’re interested,” he said.
“It’s not a meaningful business yet. Right now we’re not seeing that as a huge market, but I think we’re on the leading edge.
Sony Online Entertainment boss John Smedley has confirmed on Twitter that “barring any unforeseen circumstances”, the Planetside 2 beta will begin on Monday or Tuesday next week. Anticipation for the sci fi shooter MMO has peaked following the release of a fancy cinematic trailer; so go ahead and sign up for the test here.
Lead designer Haydn Dalton has said that if Darksiders II sells well enough to justify another sequel, Vigil will probably aim for a tighter, busier game world. Speaking to Videogamer, Dalton said if Darksiders 2 moves 4 million units a third entry is almost guaranteed, but that he expects THQ president Jason Rubin to check the team’s ambitious world building.
“Maybe what he might do is turn around and say, ‘We’ll do another Darksiders game, but we’ll try and reduce the scope so that we can make it even higher polished,’” Dalton said.
“Maybe he says, ‘Bring the scope down a little bit, we’ll still do another game but it’s a lot more focused’.
