PG Break Episode 08

May 25th, 2012 by

METAL GEAR RISING

Filed: Anarchy Reigns, Community, Games, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, PGTV

PG Break 08 fires off with a truly PRESS START  moment before turning our attention to tons of Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns news – two new characters, a Japanese launch trailer, and a preview of the Dilated Peoples track, This Is Madness.

Finally, we break the bad news about Anarchy Reigns US/EU release date – SEGA has decided to change the date to TBC. While our work on the game is finished, localized, and ready to go, as publisher, SEGA gets to make the final decision as to when it is released. The Japanese release date, however, remains unchanged for July 5, 2012.

Show Notes:

METAL GEAR RISING

Filed: Community, Games, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, PGTV, Vanquish

PG Break hits lucky number 7 by getting lucky with a Rin Rin tweeter who earned herself a Vanquish figure. But that isn’t the only funny to be had!

Show Notes:

- Around the World -

We are on the E3 Death March getting cool things ready to show you. Which is why we don’t have any cool things to show you now. However, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence Producer Yuji Korekado did tweet a cool picture of Raiden from a certain video we are making! Check it out here! 

And follow him here!

-Community Spotlight-

@PG_RinRin won her choice of a Square Enix Play Arts -Kai- Vanquish figure, but we had plenty of hilarious entries into our contest. We have one more figure to give away, so keep watching this space!

PG Break Episode 06

April 27th, 2012 by

VANQUISH

Filed: Anarchy Reigns, Community, Games, PGTV, PlatinumGames, Vanquish

PG Break returns from a week off with Anarchy Reigns character announcements, Vanquish figures, and general stupidity. Also, Hideki Kamiya’s head.

Show Notes:

- Around the World -
The Crimson Dragon sisters join the cast of Anarchy Reigns! Check out their character clips here!
The Vanquish Play Arts Kai figures are out! Pick up Sam or Bogey (Zaitsev).
The amazing Anarchy Reigns team battle video (in Japanese)!

From JP’s Twitter:

A follow-up to the team battle vid – The goal is to kill the other team commander. Classes are assigned based on your individual kills. Classes are re-assigned during the course of the match to top players on team. You can be Squad Leader, Spec Ops, or Medic. Each has buffs.

Feel free to hit up “Kaiser” Taura (@pg_taura) for tips and tricks. Or just to call him pretty.

-Community Spotlight-

Win a Vanquish figure! Make JP laugh the hardest and get your choice of Sam or Bogey. Just post using the #PGLIVE hashtag to win. The rules are simple – Make it something you can tweet, make it safe for work, and preferably make it PlatinumGames related. The best tweet that takes JP’s mind of impending E3 crunch will get a toy for their trouble! If you have any questions, ask them on the forums at http://community.platinumgames.com/

Young Nicholas was wrong. Kenji Saito’s favorite Metal Gear is MGS1 because of the awesome characters.

The great Japanese Max Anarchy site is coming in English.
