Speaking of videogame personalities on the radio -- Hideo Kojima's HIDECHAN! Radio show, now in its 106th installment, has been downloaded by more than 4 million unique listeners, and the "podcast" format has just about replaced his blog. He often jokes about how surprised he is that the position of "radio personality" might suit him better than that of videogame producer.

I didn't know Hideo Kojima had a radio show. Nobuo Usmatsu is getting one too.

Clover is opening a new studio.

Kotaku

When Capcom shuttered Clover, the arm behind Okami and Godhand, grown men cried. Producer Atsushi Inaba fled the company, while his partner-in-crime Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil) kept contractual ties with Capcom.

So, what came of Inaba? What is he doing now? Word from a handful of insiders is that he has set up his own studio in Osaka and is hard at work on new titles. This shouldn't come as a surprise in the least (file under "no duh"), but it is good to hear this chatter. No word what this outfit is called, and we've gotten conflicting reports that Mikami has joined Inaba's boutique studio. Stay tuned until there's something official. Brian Ashcraft

Oh and Okami artbook coming out in english Here

Fans of Clover, be at ease, it looks as though many veterans of the company, including Viewtiful Joe producer Atsushi Inaba, Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya and Resident Evil creator, Shinji Mikami are listed as part of a new delevoper, named "Seeds"

zomg clover ^__^

Capcom is holding a contest where participants are, through the use of a pre-drawn comic and empty speech bubbles, supposed to 'plead the case for localizing AA3". This basically means that the DS port and translation of Phoenix Wright 3/Ace Attorney 3 (Gyakuten Saiban 3) is most likely already in the pipeline.

That is all.

I was reading that it wasnt that impressive, sad

Devil May Cry 4

- Only the PS3 version is featured this week
- Dante is playable
- Realtime style changing
- A new snow mountain area is shown and a new boss

I guess this makes that Dante lover guy happy.

Realtime style changing = I'm in love.

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 1:15 pm

Dante playable?

Thats AWESOME news.

Post by **LordMune** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 5:12 pm

It felt like I'd died and gone to gaming heaven when I read that that DMC4 will not only be released for the 360, but include playable Dante and real-time style switching.

FUCK YES.

Post by **Buzkashi** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 1:26 am

Were you not Dante in the other DMC's or something?

Yeah, but Devil May Cry 4 was supposed to have a completely different main character, with Dante being a "bad guy" of sorts.

Post by **Tempest** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 1:34 am

Yeah, until now, the only playable character was going to be Nero, a person who LOOKS like dante, seemingly FIGHTS like Dante, and who has a "demon arm" that gives him POWERS like Dante.

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 5:44 pm

Which is why i was annoyed as hell when i saw Nero.

Why change Dante with a fricking copy of him ?

Lack of imagination or what...

they don't believe that word. they just wanted a character that reminded you of him so you wouldn't feel to alienated. but they forget Libaax is strange.

Much bigger:

And if you really care, these are pics of the PS3 version.

I read the producer saying they changed the main character cuase the game was made easier for new fans. Meaning Dante is used only in the hard games, they must be thinking the clone thing will appeal to old fans.

I dont care much for clone of Dante that acts like frankly Raiden.....

I doesnt bother too much since Dante is still in the game and i am fan of the series, i dont have any choice.

But its alittle sad if the game is uber easy, DMC is series was the only series i played that its normal feels like others games hard.

Nero isn't Raiden, he enjoys killing and Raiden lost that joy.

They said the game is easier then DMC3 but harder then all the others. The last few levels will get as hard as DMC3.

Hope they mean it when they say that it will get harder.

About Nero i dont know how he is, he just reminded me of Raiden.

Because he is a younger character that gets laid that ends up replacing a popular older character that has a great connection with women but is asexual?

What're you talking bout. Snake got laid.

I got solid snake's sex tape, so he got laid.

Saying Snake don't get mad pussy. Is like saying Raiden isn't a pussy.
