Game news and info thanks to Goli:

This. The game info is already out but it's all about games basically nobody cares about, but here's a super condensed version of the summary on the website with the leak:

PSO is getting crossovers with Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus and Shining Ark.
Soul Sacrifice has DLC bosses, and the magazine has the introduction of the Leviathan, Minotaur and Wyvern monsters.
Terraria coming to PS3 in Japan on 5/23 as a retail and downloadable game via Spike Chunsoft. Retail version has some bonuses packed in.
CC2 released their first action game for iOS, Shadow Escaper. You can get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shadow-escaper/id587291971?l=ja&ls=1&mt=8
There's a big Sega feature this week (Shining Ark is the cover):
The first part is about the introduction of a new character in Shining Ark called Cherubim, or something like that. There's also an interview with Nana Mizuki who's singing Shining Ark's theme song.
The second part is about PSO2, it has an interview with staffers of it.
The third part is about Project Diva f, and it has the introduction of new songs and modules.
The final part of the Sega feature is about 7th Dragon 2020-II where they talk about the Hacker job and itnroduce new characters.
For Valhalla Knights 3 they introduce several key characters like the emperor who sends the main character to Prison Castle, Galvania and his subordinates. Also some character edit details.
To commemorate the release of Dynasty Warriors 8 the 3/14 issue of Famitsu will have special items, namely a ponytail thing and kitsune ears. Also a poll to see which characters people'd like to see in the next entry.
Also, due to its impending release, Famitsu has an interview with Hino regarding the latest Layton game.
Afterwards there's some talk about what characters you can choose at the beggining of Senran Kagura Vita. I'm not familiar with the title but they mention something about groups and schools and whatnot.
Then some GoW Ascension and Injustice stuff, and something about Pro Baseball Spirits 2013's new management mode and pro baseball link feature.
Finally, a list of a bunch of playable characters for the new One Piece musou game and the announcement that a release date for Summon Night 5 has been decided, as well as the ointroduction of new gameplay systems for it.

I'd like to think that that score bodes well for Soul Sacrifice, but then I remember that this is Famitsu. The same Famitsu that gave Final Fantasy XIII a perfect score. Ah well.
 
Do Famitsu reviews still have an impact on the reception of the games, regardless of how much sense is poured in them?

If those reviews still create the buzz, then good for SS.

I'd say no xD

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (2011, Nintendo, for Wii) 40/40
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (2011, Square Enix, for Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3) 40/40
 
It's very early to see Famitsu leaks. But it's true, it seems. And no news from Famitsu. I'm sick of this, announcements for every platform almost stopped happening, what the hell.

Weird they didn't cover PS4 in any major way? Maybe not, I guess.

There are new titles, but I doubt anyone cares.

[PS3] Terraria (Spike Chunsoft/May 23/4,179yen, DL ver. 3,300yen)
[PS3][WiiU] Injustice: Gods Among Us (Warner Entertainment Japan/June 6/7,280yen)

Especially considering they're just Japanese versions of Western titles.
Surprised to see 360 SKUs not localised for both titles (Injustice for PS3 and Wii U, but not 360, LOL)
 
Far Cry 3 continuing to be overrated. Only thing I really liked about it was the graphics (PC) Story was bad, game-play was ok, RPG elements shoved in without any real thought and were just terrible and useless.

Gameplay is fun as hell. The amount of random fun you can get into is awesome. The story is awful, I'd agree with that. The stealth sections made me want to throw my controller across the room!

Gameplay had it moments, getting the gliding suit was a lot of fun for a while, Exploding a car full of people with a explosive arrow was LOL too. Yeah it had its moments but a 91 on Meta? No. World Was empty, Game pathetic easy and Hunting just a embarrassment.

FF XIII-2 is the second best selling PS3 game in Japan though :P. FFXIII is the best selling.
 
I was thinking of getting a Vita when the price on the 32gb bundle drops tomorrow. I thought PS+ and PSO2 would be enough for a while, but now I'm considering SS too. Would be good to find a Tokyo-ite who wants to get the double pack though...

Can't really argue with this. The game just fwlt soulless to me. I mean, it has all the makings of a great game , but it felt like the glue to hold it all together was applied wrong. If that makes any sense.
 
I don't think anyone has made a review thread for Dengeki reviews, but I'm sure some people would like to know since they're leaking ATM:
Shinovi Versus　　85/85/90/65
Tales of Hearts R　80/85/90/85
Dynasty Warriors 8　85/90/95/85
Soul Sacrifice　80/75/90/85
Also in the issue, a new Neptunia game 神次元アイドル ネプテューヌPP which perhaps could be translated as God-dimension Idol Neptunia PP. Genre and platoform are TBA; which is odd. I would expect it to be a PS3 title but maybe it's for PS4? Plus, the announcement of a game based on Vividred Operation, new PS3 FFXIV ARR screenshots and MGR DLC stuff.

Sounds like it's not as much of a game as the RPG. More like an idol sim or something? Could be a portable companion for the main series.

Tales of Hearts R (PSV) – 9/9/8/8 [34/40]


I'll buy a Vita if we get Hearts R
Click to expand...

Same here, but only if they put dual audio !

Via game list dont look to be much worser than 3ds:

- Persona 4 Golden;
- LBP VITA;
- Gravity RUSH;
- Soul Sacrifice;
- Uncharted Golden Abyss;
- Zero Escape: Virtue Last Reward;
- Dead or Alive 5 Plus, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend;
- Sonic All Star Racing Transformed, WipEout 2048 ;
- Ys: Memories of Celceta;
- Assassin Creed;
-Tales of Innocence remake;

Upcoming: Killzone Mercenaries, Tearway, Warriors Lair, Project Versus J, Phantasy Star Online 2 , Toukiden, Muramasa Rebirth, The Legend of Heroes: Sen no Kiseki, Atelier Totori Plus: The Adventurer of Arland, God Eater 2, Gundam Breaker, Final Fantasy X HD etc...

Dont look to be a bad game list, but they lack exclusive jrpgs for me... Sony make me some Wild Arms, Arc the Lad, Legend of Legaia or Legendo of Dragoon for Vita everyone will buy this device with a smile in the face. Or put some money in the hands of Atlus and we can have our Persona 5 exclusive for Vita !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, how can Japan Studios dont announce a port of Puppeter for Vita ?
