PCGamesN Sunday, September 25, 2022 8:02 AM  A Judgment PC mod restores the original actor for Captain Hamura in the Yakuza spin-off game after he was removed following drug charges in Japan. The surprise arrival of Judgment on PC along with its sequel, Lost Judgment, has opened the door to a variety of user-made tweaks, and this one was always likely to be on the cards. The news of a Judgment actor change at the time of the game's release was rather dramatic. Pierre Taki, the original Japanese voice actor and likeness for Kyohei Hamura - one of the action game's most prominent characters - was pulled entirely from the game in dramatic fashion after admitting to cocaine use. |

Siliconera Sunday, September 25, 2022 1:00 PM
Toho Animation announced that season 2 of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime will include the Shibuya Incident Arc. The announcement appeared as part of the Toho Animation 10th-anniversary live broadcast and featured the voice actors of Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, and Nobara Kugisaki. Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will release in two back-to-back cours starting in 2023. Following the release of the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie, the second season will feature two major arcs from the original manga series. The Star Plasma Vessel Arc, also known as the Gojo's Past Arc, will follow Satoru Gojo and his fellow classmates over a decade prior to the events of the first season. The Shibuya Incident Arc will pick up directly after the events of the first season, and feature the main cast as they face off against foes in Shibuya. https://twitter.com/animejujutsu/status/1573990851109265410?s=20&t=72LN0DlzyM0n3r6Gx-iDBQ A new teaser visual appeared during the event and includes Gojo, Yuji, Megumi, and Nobara on a train. The train, noticeably abandoned, has arrived at Shibuya station. Notably, the new teaser visual is complementary to a previously-released teaser image for the Star Plasma Vessel Arc. Put together, the two teasers create an image of current Satoru Gojo and past Suguru Geto about to shake hands. You can check out the full Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 teaser image below:
Furthermore, Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will air in two separate cours, similar to Spy x Family's first season. In anime, a "cour" typically includes around 14 episodes. The term is often used interchangeably with "season". However, unlike Spy x Family and the upcoming Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War, Toho Animation confirmed that the two cours will air back-to-back. This likely means that there will be little to no waiting time between each cour. For reference, the previous season featured a total of 24 episodes. Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 will air sometime in 2023. The post Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Confirmed to Include Shibuya Incident Arc appeared first on Siliconera. |

Hiroki Ishii, Akifumi Kaneko, and Matsuzo Machida have given some more information on Penny Blood and Armed Fantasia via a Reddit AMA. Hiroki Ishii and Akifumi Kaneko are both creators of the Wild Arms series who are now working on Armed Fantasia. Meanwhile, Matsuzo Machida created the Shadow Hearts series and is now working on Penny Blood. According to the AMA, Armed Fantasia's play time will be around 30 to 40 hours. Incidentally, this was the play time for the first Wild Arms game. There are no plans for an Armed Fantasia sequel. As well, the setting will feel like a combination of Wild Arms 2 and 3. There will be vehicles, which includes a convertible. Lastly, a major theme for Armed Fantasia is "meeting new allies and the bonds you create between those people." The most recent update for the game revealed six party members, who will come and go as the story progresses. Machida also offered some information on Penny Blood during the Reddit AMA. Like Armed Fantasia, it will have a playtime of around 30-40 hours. Depending on the reception, Machida would like to make a sequel to the game. There will also be a queer party member, as well as a 3D camera. All of the characters in the party will have their own elemental affinity, and the elements in the game will be the same as the ones in Shadow Hearts. Because publishers did not let the original Shadow Hearts team put in too much grotesque imagery or lean into horror, Penny Blood (as an indie title) will emphasize them and the story will be aimed towards adults. However, there will be comedic elements as well. Finally, while the bestiary will have flavor text, there will be no side stories. Though this was not during the Reddit AMA, Machida also revealed the design of Baby Cthulhu. The Call of Baby Cthulhu mechanic was one of the stretch goals for Penny Blood. Baby Cthulhu is the game's mascot character. You will be able to feed it the blood and flesh of monsters, and its maturity will affect if you get the 'good' ending or not. [gallery columns="1" ids="936266" link="file"] Armed Fantasia and Penny Blood's Kickstarter will close this week on September 30, 2022, and both of them reached their initial goal within the first few days. As of the time of writing, backers have pledged a total of $2,310,529 CAD into both games. Penny Blood and Armed Fantasia are both in development for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. Penny Blood will come out in Spring 2025. The post Penny Blood and Armed Fantasia Info Revealed in Reddit AMA appeared first on Siliconera. |

Onimusha is back - in anime form. A new adaptation of Capcom's classic demon-slaying series is in the works. Netflix announced the project at its Tudum Japan livestream event on Sunday. The project - the first anime series adaptation of Onimusha since its release in 2001 - will be directed by Takashi Miike. You can see the reveal at about the 50-minute mark in the stream archive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8-vs6LoMk Netflix also uploaded some screenshots via the Netflix Anime Twitter account. [gallery ids="936287,936288,936289,936290,936291" link="file"] The Onimusha anime involves Takashi Miike, who will act as Chief Director. Miike achieved international notoriety for stylized, hyper-violent films like Ichi the Killer and 13 Assassins. He also directed projects like adaptations of Blade of the Immortal, Ace Attorney, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and The Mole Song. Joining Miike as Series Director will be Shinya Sugai, Director of the Dragon's Dogma anime. Sublimation studio is animating the series. It also produced the Dragon's Dogma anime, Shikizakura, and provided CG graphics for projects like One Piece Film Gold, Psycho-Pass, and Space Battleship Yamato 2202. The anime adaptation of Onimusha seems unlikely to be directly connected the games. Its protagonist is Musashi Miyamoto, legendary swordsman. This version of Musashi is based on the appearance of the late Toshiro Mifune, star of Rashomon, The Seven Samurai, and Yojimbo. This is in keeping with the series' practice of basing its protagonists on real-life actors. Onimusha: Warlords' protagonist Samanosuke Akechi was based on Takeshi Kaneshiro. Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny protagonist Jubei Yagyu was based on Yusaku Matsuda. Onimusha 3 saw Samanosuke's return, and added Jacques Blanc, based on French actor Jean Reno. The Onimusha Anime is in production, but does not yet have a release window. It'll stream on Netflix. The post Onimusha Anime to Be Directed by Takashi Miike appeared first on Siliconera. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Sunday, September 25, 2022 10:39 AM  We're well into the Modern Warfare 2 beta now and people are getting used to the mechanics. The next step to optimizing your gameplay is to make sure that you are using the right gun. As with any beta, the gameplay balance isn't quite there yet and some guns are far stronger than others. These are the four best guns to use in the Modern Warfare 2 beta. Note: Stay tuned for more Modern Warfare 2 beta guides. M4 Call of Duty's signature jack of all trades assault rifle is back and as strong as ever. Once again the M4 is one of the best all-around weapons to use thanks to its lack of weaknesses. It doesn't have the best DPS, the easiest recoil to control, or the best handling characteristics but it performs well in all of those categories. As an added bonus the M4 isn't just one of the best guns it's also the first gun you unlock in the Modern Warfare 2 beta. As soon as you get access to custom loadouts at level 4 you are free to use the M4 as m... |
