While I'm not super high on the idea of having Scorpion knocking around in the oversized pocket I'll be keeping my PS Vita in, he and the rest of the Kombatants are coming to the console in a couple of weeks in the handheld port of the excellent console reboot from last year. WB Interactive and NetherRealm Studios, the game's developer have sent over a new trailer for the release which looks like it survived the transition to the Vita intact.

You can see the trailer and find out more about the game after the break.

[Update: In the original version of this post, I identified developers United Front as the team behind the Just Cause series. That would actually be Square Enix London Studios and has been corrected in the article.]

The True Crime series was Activision's answer to GTA: a somewhat tongue-in-cheek open world action game with a focus on melee combat, featuring real-world locations and a decent amount of above-tier voice acting (even if the gameplay itself wasn't much to write home about. For a while, the third game in the series, True Crime: Hong Kong was a thing before Activision chose to divest themselves of the franchise, handing it off to Square Enix two months later.

Well, Square has had the Just Cause collaborators at Square Enix London Studios along with United Front hammering away at the game for the last few months and it's been rechristened Sleeping Dogs.

Find out more after the break.

Based on this new trailer from Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 won't be straying too far from the design of the 2009 release. In terms of plot, it doesn't seem very far from the usual-usual with SMT games, featuring a ticking clock until the end of the world and a group of young people making deals with demons to stave off the apocalypse.

More details about this release and the trailer after the break.

I can't think of any other villain in popular fiction who's been as thoroughly defanged as Darth Vader. He's kind of culturally become this cuddly monster in black, and he's an easy go-to character for random marketing that might not otherwise have much to do with the Star Wars brand (see here and here, and here for an interesting dissection of the latter). It's almost kind of jarring Vader is used in an ad for something and it makes sense.

In this case, it's for the upcoming Kinect Star Wars, which uses Parks and Recreations star Chris Pratt for a cute riff on being "inside" the Star Wars universe. Okay, it goes on a little longer than it maybe should, but the final beat sells the joke. Oh, and no, there's not a single sign of gameplay: Lucasarts knows dang well you're going to want to fake swing a lightsaber around and they are no at all worried about convincing you that this is something you'll want to do.

Kinect Star Wars will be out sometime later this year.
