Sega Still Says Phantasy Star Online 2 Is ‘Delayed’

Yesterday, we received an email from Kotaku reader Jacob. He said he was bummed out. See, he really wants to play Phantasy Star Online 2, the free-to-play online RPG that was released in Japan last year. But he can’t because it’s not out in the West, and publisher Sega hasn’t told anyone what’s going on.


Bayonetta 2 Looks Deadlier Than Ever, Even With Short Hair

As seen on this morning Nintendo Direct, the sequel to Platinum’s beloved camp-action game features even more over-the-top craziness than ever. Bayonetta’s rocking a pixie cut but isn’t any nicer than she used to be. New powers were shown and she apparently wield both dual pistols and dual whips. The game’s due out in 2014.


Incoming Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F Heads West In August

After a Facebook post poll of North American and European fans garnered 25,000 likes and 15,000 shares in less than three days, Sega has deemed the US and Europe worthy of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F for the PlayStation 3 in August. Want more good news? There’s a demo coming next week.


The Last Sports Stars Of Video Games’ Cartridge Era

Earlier in the week, Jason Kidd gave the NBA his retirement notice. He and Grant Hill were the only active players this year that appeared in NBA Jam: Tournament Edition from 1994.

Why Is Company Of Heroes 2 Poking At World Of Tanks?

You want tanks? Oh, Company of Heroes 2 has your tanks. It’s got an entire world of tanks. It also has things that aren’t tanks, which is something you can’t say about World of Tanks why are we doing this?


Super Sonic The Hedgehog Galaxy Is Looking Pretty Sharp

It’s the first Sonic the Hedgehog game of the current generation of consoles, technically, and it’s bringing Sonic up-to-date, Super Mario Galaxy style. Sega may be calling it Sonic Lost World, but to me it’ll always be Super Sonic the Hedgehog Galaxy.


Sonic The Hedgehog’s ‘Ultimate Life Form’ Doesn’t Deserve This Statue

Has First4Figures really explored both the modern and classic eras of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise so fully that all they’re left with is Shadow the gun-toting misstep? Where is Amy Rose? Where is Cream the Rabbit? Heck, I’d even take Silver.


This Company Of Heroes 2 Trailer Likes To Get In Close And Personal

From sombre to frantic to sombre again. Company of Heroes 2, Relic’s followup to their 2006 real-time strategy game, will be released for the PC on June 25.


Video Game PR Issues Beautiful ‘No Comment’ In Haiku

The Yakuza games are some of the very best on the PS3, so Sega’s silence on a possible localisation of Yakuza 5 is killing me. The publisher has since broken that silence, however, responding to a Yakuza fansite. In haiku. Like every single Japan-related PR communication should be.


Sonic’s New Move In His Nintendo-Exclusive Adventure Is… A Wall-Run?

This year’s Nintendo-only Sonic game, Sonic Lost World, looks like it will feature 2D and 3D gameplay, similar to the other recent pretty-good Sonic games. IGN just ran the game’s first trailer, which you can see here. The trailer hypes Sonic’s new moves.
