Crackdown 2 gameplay caught on video
What you see above is a video recently posted up by GameVideos which was taken during a Crackdown 2 demonstration at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Included in said video is the first ever look at Crackdown 2’s game play.
There’s not much I can say about the game other than that it looks much more pleasing visually than the first which is definitely a good sign. Anyways, check out the video and let us know what you think of it.
Ruffian Studios says Crackdown 2 will be out sometime in 2010.
Resident Evil 5 being played with Playstation Motion Controller caught on video
While Microsoft is evidently having a hard time implementing Project Natal into pre-Natal titles, Sony is hard at work showing off just how well the Playstation Motion Controller works with older titles. What you see above is a video from this year’s Tokyo Game Show that features a modified version of Resident Evil 5 being played with the said motion controller. As you can see, the person playing the game is holding both a regular PS3 controller in addition to a Playstation Motion Controller wand. There’s no telling if this is actually how games will be played when the new controller ships or if it was just used for demonstration purposes.
What’s even better is this version of Resident Evil 5 will actually be made available for purchase as the game’s Director’s Cut in Spring of 2010.

Dead Rising 2 to appear next at Tokyo Game Show
Dead Rising 2 was absent from E3 due to concerns over the infamous Swine Flu. So, the next logical place it would show up would be PAX, right? Nope, it seems that Dead Rising 2 will in fact be absent from PAX just as it was E3 with its next public showing slated for the Tokyo Game Show set to take place in September.
Joystiq proceeded to contact a Capcom representative for comment but all they got in return was to look out for the game during the Tokyo Game Show. Bummer.
Dead Rising 2 will be out for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC on March 21st, 2010.
Nobi Nobi Boy at TGS Next Week
Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi’s new game Nobi Nobi Boy will be present at the Tokyo Game Show next week.
Unveiled last summer, almost nothing is known about the game, with the only information being the fact that it will have a worm-like protagonist and is exclusive to the PS3. Takahashi himself has remained silent on the game, only expressing his desire to do something new after rolling up worlds in Damacy.
The game will not be playable at next week’s expo.
Sony Announcing 14 New Games at Tokyo Game Show

Sony will be publishing nine of those eleven games, with the other two being published by Konami and Irem. The PSP games are being worked on by Sony.
What exactly will Sony announce? There will be sequels aplenty, but how many original games will there be? Care to speculate?
