Video Game Releases: Soul Sacrifice, Zeno Clash 2 & Deadly Premonition: Director’s Cut
April may not have been an exciting month for releases, but this week, a horror cult game, an action-packed strategy game, and a first-person fighting game follow-up are capping off the month, with pre-order exclusive content still up for grabs.
Soul Sacrifice
If you're looking for a game that gives you depth, action, and strategy, then one of the best games you could enjoy is Soul Sacrifice. This action-adventure game puts you in the shoes of a character taken prisoner by Magusar, whom you'll face-off with at the end of the game.
IGN reports that the story is delivered in a non-linear fashion, and can be skipped if you prefer to go straight to the action. You can also customize characters in m any ways by equipping them with weapons and items.
Soul Sacrifice will be out for the PS Vita in April 30 in North America and May 1 in Europe, but it seems that you can already look forward to a sequel already.
According to VG 24/7, Comcept's Keiji Inafune is now mulling over plans for a sequel.
"Soul Sacrifice is something I specifically designed for Vita using [the] hardware's specific features. To drive Vita sales even more, I have an idea for a Soul Sacrifice sequel," he said to VG 24/7. "I'm actually approaching [Sony Computer Entertainment] regarding this project. Let's say the talks are ongoing and I'd love to make that happen."
Zeno Clash 2
Publisher Atlus has offered the game with pre-order bonuses, with a 10% discount plus a free copy of Zeno Clash.
Those who want to get something more for their buy can enjoy two packages, reports Polygon. For $26.99, you can get the additional Zeno Clash 2 soundtrack and digital art book, or you can get the two-pack game with two copies of the original Zeno Clash for $29.99.
You can still get Zeno Clash 2 when it comes out on April 30, for Steam regularly priced at $19.99. But release dates for the PS3 and Xbox 360 are yet to be announced.
For the meantime, catch this video featuring the first six minutes of gameplay to see what's in store for you.
Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut
Two years after its arrival to the Xbox 360, Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut is finally going to the PS3.
However, the game is something of a mix depending on the audience, as the survival horror game gets expanded and modified,
"I added an all-new scenario to the Director's Cut primarily for the really big fans of Deadly Premonition," said Hidetaka Suehiro, the guy behind the title, to Game Informer. "I wanted to offer them something fresh while not deviating from the original version of the game. The new scenario will be fun and entertaining to the really big fans of the original and for those new to Deadly Premonition."
Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut is already out in the UK and is heading for PS3 on April 30, reports Computer and Video Games. Pre-orders in Amazon will entitle you to exclusive DLC content of the game, while limited edition boxed copies sold in retail can give you a 30-day access to PlayStation Plus membership.
