Tokyo Game Show - Part.... Last

Now that TGS is finally over, let us finish up with a few stories that did not quite make it into the other two posts.

Halo 3, do I really need to describe it? Some of you should be playing it at this very moment. But the real news is that Halo 3 garnered really big crowds... in Japan. Gamers could not get enough of it, interesting since the Japanese stay away from senseless-violence American games, like Halo. However, it made a pretty huge impact, but will it be enough to raise the popularity of the 360 in that country as well?

The popular Soul Caliber series will soon have its fourth installment on the 360 and PS3. Not only are we getting the the crisper graphics and more "enhancements" to the fighters (just look at Ivy), there will also be an updated ring out system to make it more difficult for both sides to get off an easy win, with the use of barriers and breakable walls.

Capcom's pride and joy, Devil May Cry 4, had two new trailers and some playable demos on the show floor, and it is still impressing. Running at a smooth 60 fps at 720p on both a 360 and PS3, people only had good things to say as the action was fast and the controls were responsive. You will be able to find out the story between Nero and Dante in early 2008, with a PC version coming soon after.

For all the Katamari fans with a PS3, don't feel bad that Beautiful Katamari is Xbox only, since Jun Morikawa, game director of the series, has confirmed to 1up.com that a PS3 katamari game will be coming sometime in the future.

Again, there was so much at TGS to talk about, this is what caught our attention. The show is finally over, and we have enough to salivate over for the next year, no matter what platform(s) you own.
