Devil May Cry 5, a game rumored to be in the making has now been confirmed as VG247 points out how Keiji Inafune recently explained in an interview with 3DJuegos the new direction and influences for the upcoming title. Now seeking more attention from western gamers, Inafune states;

“Devil May Cry 5 is a game that, when started development, this will change a lot in relation to the above,” said Inafune.

“The reason is that, despite the franchise has some very loyal followers, their sales are not particularly high, especially overseas.”

With no word on how far along the development has been, if no visual candy is surfaced by TGS then we might have to wait until next year to get a glimpse of Devil May Cry 5.

Some blessed soul has done us all a favor and uploaded quite a few stellar image of what can only be screenshots taken from the upcoming Batman: Arkham City title which is projected to release in 2011.

In these updates images it seems developer Rocksteady has been hard at work upgrading the character models of Batman: Arkham Asylum as The Dark Knight (Batman), Harley Quinn, and the goons of Gotham City are even more visually impressive than before. Rocksteady is also bringing Catwoman and Harvey Dent to the party this time around.

These new image look amazing and hopefully we’ll get gameplay footage soon.

Through a compelling narrative, MAFIA II transports gamers into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia.

Players will easily become immersed in the game’s cinematic Hollywood-style experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing metropolis. By fusing action-packed gameplay with white-knuckle driving and an epic gangster story, Mafia II is the industry’s most compelling Mafia title to-date.

With the Medal Of Honor beta now closed to the public, EA and DICE are now hard at work upgrading and putting the final touches on their upcoming military shooter. If you were able to get your hands on the MOH beta I’m pretty sure you like many had a list issues with the beta. On a personal note I can recall times where I had to keep reminding myself that I was playing a beta due to all the shortcomings of the experience.

Despite the frustrations of the beta, the sole purpose of any beta is meant for feedback. Developers want and need our feedback in order to craft the experience we’re looking for. Sometimes gamers would rather complain instead of giving feedback where needed as if developers should be able to read their minds, unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. It’s definitely a privilege for developers to even extend a beta to the public and thankfully thousands of gamers have indeed pointed out all the fixes that needed to be overhauled.

In addition to all the changes and upgrades that have been made to Medal Of Honors multiplayer experience, EA has made a list of the major updates;

Improved Hit Detection
Weapon Pick-Ups
Support Action Balanced
Unlock Tree Expanded And Balanced
Crashes Fixed
Major Graphic Overhaul
Weapons

When we first got wind of Epic Games new shooter, Bulletstorm, of course we know the game would look good but we didn’t think it would be pushed to these limits. After our brief multiplayer playthrough it was certain Epic would be offering an over-the-top experience in both single-player and online modes.

Set to release February 22, 2011 just 5 days before Sony’s flagship exclusive shooter, KILLZONE 3, sights should also be set on Epic’s Bulletstorm. Be sure to check out the latest images from the game.
