God Eater 2 dines with Vita and PSP in 2013
Namco Bandai is planning a simultaneous PlayStation Vita and PSP debut for God Eater 2, a sequel that promises faster, more strategic battles and even larger divine delicacies (see: huge monsters) than before.The action RPG will feature mixed-system ad hoc multiplayer (we're still trying to confirm online capabilities) and the same content across both versions, though the PlayStation Vita will enable superior graphics. God Eater 2 is expected in Japan sometime during 2013. The previous game, dubbed God Eater Burst in America and Europe, was released in 2011.
Japanese Gods Eater Burst DLC includes Taiko Drum Master, Tales & Soul Calibur items
For the Japanese release of Gods Eater Burst, Namco Bandai is planning DLC that brings in costumes and items based on other Namco properties that, frankly, have no business being in a game like this -- which is great! A free DLC pack headed to the Japanese PSN on February 10 adds costumes to make your characters look like Asbel and Cheria from Tales of Graces (the PS3 version of which was just announced for North America). The pack also comes with weapons based on the Soul Calibur and Soul Edge swords from the Soul Calibur series. Best of all, the DLC includes costumes based on Taiko Drum Master, which are way too bright and happy to be appropriate for the grotesque Gods Eater Burst. Burst arrives in North America this spring, but no announcements have been made about whether we'll be wielding the Soul Edge in our version.
'Gods Eater Burst' GameStop pre-order includes bonus DLC
If you plan to pick up D3 Publisher's anime-style, Monster Hunter-style PSP action RPG, Gods Eater Burst, you might as well pick it up from GameStop. D3 announced today that pre-orders from GameStop will include an exclusive downloadable content pack, including new missions and fights against two of the game's creepy, part-weapon "Aragami" monsters. That's not a typo in the headline, by the way. D3 sneaked in a name change recently: The game is now "Gods Eater Burst" instead of "God Eater Burst." We guess D3 didn't want to give the impression that it was about eating the God ... just some gods.
Get a taste of God Eater Burst
The Tokyo Game Show trailer for God Eater Burst teaches us a lesson that everyone in the game's world should have learned from their mothers: don't mess with another guy's God Arc. It also also gives us a good idea of what content has been added for the "Burst" version of the game.
Namco Bandai serves God Eater Burst trailer and screens
We need all the visual aides we can get to make sense of something called "God Eater Burst." Luckily, Namco Bandai UK has released new screenshots and video for the enhanced version of the PSP action RPG, bursting forth into retail next year. Gobble it up after the break.
Updated 'God Eater Burst' out in North America and Europe in 2011
D3 Publisher no longer plans to release God Eater in North America or Europe. But it's all right, because we're going to get the updated version of the action RPG, God Eater Burst, instead. Now scheduled for a first-quarter release in North America next year and for an unspecified date in 2011 in Europe (published by Namco Bandai), God Eater Burst includes "more than twice the number of missions in the original God Eater," along with a new "Burst Mode" that can be used to temporarily power up characters' "Devouring Attacks." "If you've ever wondered what a god tastes like," the press release teases, "you won't have to wait long to find out." And we thought it was just a clever name!
