I can't wait to receive my physical copy of the Switch version of Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove....
In the meantime enjoy the awesome "Live Action Music Video" which I probably already posted a couple of times here on my blog:
Love that funky bassline!!

#GamingNEWS Shenmue III - The Prophecy Trailer [ESRB]
One of the biggest Kickstarter successes, and one of my personal longest-awaited sequels, Shenmue III's got a new release date. The game's been basically pushed far away a year after the recently released remaster of Shenmue I and II.
Things are taking shape nicely, the game's looking far nicer now. There's still some work to put into it, I'm sure.

#MusicBOX ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove
While we wait for the long awaited new ToeJam and Earl game (remake? reimagining? remaster? sequel? all of the above!), here's a fantastic bonus from the kickstarter campaign, a music video of the new theme song, featuring the new voice actors! And they're perfect for their characters, completely in-character!
Enjoy this funky tune!
And for good measure, here's the animated opening version:

#GamesCom17 Shenmue III update
Finally some news regarding the resurrected kickstarted Shenmue III right on time for GamesCom 2017! It's about time!
But..
O..kay.
The environments do look ok. But the character models and animations.. not so much (Andromeda, anyone?). But from what Yu Suzuki said, they're still working on those and this was only meant to be a quick update for the kickstarter bakers.
Wait and see...

It's that time of the year! Time for Cartoon Network's latest batch of possible cartoon pilots!
Actually, I'm kinda cheating this time. One of these has already been greenlighted apparently.

#SEGANews ToeJam and Earl new trailer!
Yes, I'm still calling this a "Sega News".
It's about to get funky in here! There's a brand new trailer for the kickstarter-funded ToeJam and Earl sequel! And it's apparently going to be published by Adult Swim (!?!). Check it out:
This new ToeJam and Earl (ToeJam and Earl 4?) looks amazing! I love the art style! This is how you modernize a classic game! I'm loving what I'm seeing so far!

#GamingNEWS System Shock Remastered vs Enhanced Edition Comparison
The original System Shock game is a great classic game if a bit rough around the edges (even more compared to its later cult successor System Shock 2). The fact the game already received a great Enhanced Edition on GoG.com not long ago is just proof of it.
And now thanks to the successful crowdfunding campaign, it's getting an even better Remaster. Which I guess will go beyond your usual "remasters", since they had to rebuild a ton from the ground up. And even revamp some of the clunky aspects of the original game the Enhanced edition already tried to smooth over.
Here's a great comparison between both ports, which shows hints of things to look forward to:

#Gaming NEWS! Friday the 13th: The Game on Kickstarter
After the announcement of a possible Friday the 13th: The Game from original creator Sean S. Cunningham a few months ago to tie into the upcoming Friday the 13th TV show and new theatrical movie, we now learn they ran into some trouble and need our help...!
The game is going to be an "asymmetrical" experience, 7 players vs. 1, and planned to be released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The idea is to have a super strong invicible slasher Jason go against a bunch of camp counselors characters. Survive or be killed.
They apparently also had plans for single-player campaigns based on the different Friday the 13th films. Which sounds... ambitious to say the least, but wait and see. The problem is that Gun Media, the developers, just lost their publsihing partner. So now the game is on Kickstater asking for $700,000!
Check it out!
The project is slowly taking off as I write these words.
They will get Kane Hodder in this, somehow. (Since Jason doesn't really talk much.. are they giving him a secondary character to voice or just motion capture??) And Tom Savini to help come up with some creative kills.
The game was originally planned for an Halloween 2015 release, but they can't make that release date no more. Now it's aimed for a fall 2016 release.

#Gaming NEWS! Keiji Inafune and Comcept launch another kickstarter
Scrap that. They're actually launching two more kickstarters for yet another project/whole franchise.
With Mighty No. 9 coming shortly the next months, it's time to look at new projects. Inafune & co finally revealed Red Ash. A sort of spiritual successor to Mega Man Legends/Rockman Dash.
And just to go even further, it will actually be linked to Mighty No. 9, that's right the main character here will be a distant relative to No. 9's Beck. So, basically, Mighty No. 9 Legends, I suppose?
Here's the kickstarter for the game:
That's right, you read that right. There also will be a Red Ash anime as well!
I'm not sure what's going on with the characters here, but I prefer the designs from the game above. Here's the second Kickstater for the anime:
Actually people will be financing only a small part of the game - a prequel episode, and the first few minutes of the anime.
I dunno... As much as I love Keiji Inafune and Comcept, it feels like they're stretching way to thin with all these on-going projects. And let's not forget Inafune's upcoming Xbox One robots game ReCore.
Kickstarter for the game.

#E3 NEWS! SHENMUE 3 ANNOUNCED eréfjkerklgjoighoeh ergeggeg
Shemue 3 announced! SHENMUE 3 ANNOUNCED!!!!
WAITAMINUTE!? It's a Kickstarter!?!
Let's start from the beginning. For ages now Outrun creator Yu Suzuki has been wanting to make the third and final Shenmue. Meanwhile "Sega Playmore" has been getting worse by the year. Since they've essentially become Sega-Sammy they've been only re-released old games digitally and making the yearly Sonic game releases. On the Shenmue front: Why bring back a game that cost so much in the past when they basically replaced that IP with Yakuza nowadays?
So Yu Suzuki keeps getting interviewed about Shenmue 3, even though he's been moved to a smartphone games division now. And he mentioned the thought of relying on crowd-funding to make the game.
It seems like Sony partnered up with Sega for the occasion - the game will come on PS4 and PC. But they're only partially funding and helping it. So here they are on Kickstarter now.
This is a legit new Shenmue sequel, not some random spinoff. The campaign is asking for $2 million, so they haven't won it. AND IT ALREADY REACHED 1 904 912 $ as I write these lines!!!
KICKSTARTER PAGE.
The game's expected for a possible release date of December 2017.
We already got a FF7 remake and The Last Guardian out of E3 this year. All we need now is Half-Life 3, and the apocalypse might just be right around the corner!!

#Randomz - Uwe Boll's been at it again
You've probably heard it already.
After failed Kickstarters, Uwe Boll - you know? The (in)famous awful German director that just keeps producing awful movie adaptations of games all the time decided to use Indiegogo this time to crowdfund his new "film" project: Rampage 3: No Mercy.
No wonder, it also failed completely. And now the guy that previously challenged bad reviewers in a boxing max decided to answer the only way he probably could come up with. With a "Fuck You All" videos to everyone and all his fans as well.
It's not a surprise really, check his other videos in the previous above links, the guy sounds like a genuine douchey a$$hole.
Woah! Easy there on the r-word, Uwe! Man, he does sound like a total and complete obnoxious jackass. You wanna retire from "Hollywood"? Good. The door's over there!
Sounds like the guy's obviously truly pissed off this time, maybe Boll’s luck just ran out. In the past he's always been able to secure funding, possibly through the German government/tax payers funding his very own movies. But the laws have changed in the last few years. Sounds like he can't do that anymore! Ha!

#IndieGogo - "Con Man" series project
This is a "kickstarter" project I can totally get behind!
Alan Tudyk wants to make a new series! And it's also pretty much Firefly-related. Kinda.
He has launched a project on indiegogo.com. It's called "CON MAN" - because Convention Man doesn't sound as cool! And it will feature him and Nathan Fillion as actors that used to star on a fan-beloved cult scifi show a few years back... One's become a successful A-list actor, going into successful TV series and films (Fillion). The other has been living in the fandom of his past glory days, going to all sorts of nerd conventions and events for the past few years. Sounds familiar?
It sounds like a pretty fun meta-series. Made as a fun tribute for the fans he's met over the years. Check out the video:
Con Man Indiegogo Campaign from PJ Haarsma on Vimeo.
They have already totally reached far beyond their original set goal and are now trying to reach other stretch goals.
You can check out the indiegogo page right: HERE.
This sounds great! I'm a huge Alan Tudyk fan, so I'll be sure to keep an eye on all of this.

#Kickstarter News! Toejam and Earl are Back in the Groove!
This recent new kickstarter is funky enough to have my attention!
The creators behind the original Toejam and Earl were apparently able to get the rights behind their ip from Sega! And they quickly launched what they've been trying to do for ages - Make a new Toejam and Earl!
Only since this won't get much attention from most of the mainstream audience, they're going through Kickstarter to make it a reality!
Check out their other videos over there!
It's a return to form after a platformer sequel they never wanted to do much, and a decent if underrated 3D episode on the Dreamcast that went back to the original formula.
This new episode is going full on retro and 2-D animated. I'm also loving the fantastic 90s vibe this is already giving.
Can't wait to see how things turn out!

#Blog - #Gaming News and Mighty no 9.
Hello guys and gals,
I just wanted to take this occasion totalk about Jesus talk about Keiji Inafune's upcoming "not Mega Man" game, Mighty no 9!
Lately a lot of contests have been organized on the official web page, only fans/bakers have access to those.
Mostly regarding designing the small enemies you can find in the stages and some of the robot boss battles for the "Coliseum" (something regarding the story, why these Mega Man-like clones have been constructed in the story of this game).
I tried to enter as many of those as possible (read: basically all of them). You can in fact find all my entries on my deviantArt page.
And, what a surprise, one of my 'bots was chosen! That's right I got the chance, and the honer, to have one of my robots picked by Inafune himself! Awesome! Super proud and super happy about that! (sadly it's not my favorite design of the bunch... hu-hum...)
Here's my original drawing entry:
And here's Inafune's fantastic redesign:
And a comparison:
And Comcept's team interpretation:
BADASS!!!
(hey, they messed up a couple of details! but he looks totally badass, so it's all good to me)
I'm looking forward to the game! And congrats to everyone that entered the contests! The game's shaping up nicely. Mighty no 9. is still aiming for an April 2015 release date on several platforms.
