Finally, Drakengard 3!

The first big PS2 game that I played growing up was Drakengard. It had absolutely everything that I ever wanted in a video game, Dragons and lots of fighting. Being able to control the dragon was a huge bonus. Plus, the story was amazing. What brought me to the game was the fact that you can obtain a ton of weapons and each weapon leveled up and evolved. It gave me a reason to look all over the map and perform challenges to be able to collect all the weapons. The games story was amazing, even including multiple endings and scenarios when you finished the game.

So here I am, browsing Twitter where I read as status that Drakengard 3 is coming to the west. This makes me unbelievably happy and I am definitely going to be picking up the title. The only disappointing thing about this, is that it is releasing in 2014 and on the PS3. This is where the streaming of PS3 games to the PS4 works well. Because I will probably end up doing that if the title is available on the service, as well as my internet can handle the service. If not, i will be looking forward to upgrading my internet service to accomadate the demands of next-gen consoles.

I only saw some brief pictures of the title and I am extremely excited about it. In fact I know little to NOTHING about it, but I am going to read up on it. My excitement is purely based on how much I loved Drakengard on PS2 and that's all I need to buy the game.

Great News for the Vita

So the Playstation Vita has not been performing very well to be honest. Which is sad because it has the power and features to be a killer platform. The problem is that there is no software supporting the platform. Vita has been on a climb since it has become the Indie platform of choice lately with major releases such as Hotline Miami.

This is all about to change though, in TGS, Capcom announced that Monster Hunter Frontier G will be heading to the Vita. This is major news, with the return of the series back to Sony platforms, you will see the Vita sales sky rocket in Japan. Monster Hunter has to be one of the most popular series to hit Japan! I am more than excited about this news as Monster Hunter, for the PS2, was my all time favorite game.

Now the sad news, there is no plan for Western Release yet, I assume they are awaiting for the reception of the game. I am hoping that they do decide to bring thegame over here. Apparently, Monster Hunter G Frontier is an MMO of sorts set in the Monster Hunter universe, which definitely sounds appealing to me. Now, with the dual analog sticks of the Vita, Monster Hunter will finally feel like it is intended to on a handheld system!

Here is to hoping for a western release of this hallmark series.

What are your thoughts about the news of Monster Hunter coming to the Vita?
