E3 2010: Hands-on with Rift: Planes of Telara
We've had our eye on Rift: Planes of Telara for some time now, especially after getting a little face time with the game back in April. Fortune smiles upon us all once more as Trion Worlds made the trek to E3 to showcase this gorgeous fantasy title. Shouldering our way to the front of the line -- hey, hey, I'm reporting here! -- we took the wheel of an interactive demo while the developers were kind enough to answer a few questions about Rift. Your very first decision in game will be to choose a faction: the Guardians or the Defiant. Both are tasked with saving a world under attack, although they each have their own approach and butt heads against the other in the process. The Guardians are blessed by the gods and are chosen to be their holy knights, while the Defiant take the anti-hero route and rely on their own technology to wage this war. The Defiant had created vast cities in the desert using their magical tech, but they were infiltrated by dragons and saw their great achievements wiped away, reducing them to desert wanderers. There are races unique to each faction, as well as races shared by both. We learned that the Defiant have access to both the Eth (human) and Bahmi (human/elemental) races.
NIS & Hitmaker team up to make Dragoneer's Aria
More Nippon Ichi news this morning. NIS and Hitmaker are working together on a new RPG called Dragoneer's Aria. In the game you take the role of Valen who is a novice dragoneer. He is tasked with protecting the elemental dragons from a dreaded evil monster. The game focuses on friendship and has a good chance of having a dragon or two in it. NIS and Hitmaker first got their relationship started when NIS released Blade Dancer for PSP. The mutual respect has resulted in this project. Dragoneer's Aria will satisfy PSP RPG fans in July.
PSP July Content Pack now available
Every month, Sony offers an EXE file containing a variety of files, like videos, audio files and wallpapers for your PSP. This month is no different. Although a little late, this month's content pack features a two-minute God of War II (PS2) trailer. In addition, you'll get Blade Dancer wallpapers, Ozzfest 2006 wallpapers, and music from the Vans Warped Tour. Not too shabby, especially considering the Loco Roco downloads they offered a few days ago, and the upcoming World Tour Soccer 2 demo that'll come out in a few days.
