In a translated interview with French site Le Point, Cardon tried to quell anxiety over the Vita’s lackluster sales in Japan by pointing to its lack of Japanese focused release software. One title in particular came up, Monster Hunter.

Cordan said. “The games available at launch in Japan do not correspond to the typology of the Japanese public. It lacks a particular game, Monster Hunter, scheduled for the coming months,”

He went on to say.“Had it been there from the start in Japan, the story would have been different.”

Capcom and Sony have yet to release a statement on this story or anything regarding a Monster Hunter title for the new handheld, but with the series’ popularity so high it’s looking like no-brainer.

Set during the same time as the original game, in Darksiders II you’ll take control of the Horseman Death, instead of his brother War. Playing across an entirely new ensemble of maps - said to be double in size to that of its predecessor - you’ll battle to clear your brother’s name.

Tonight at 2200 the site NoHopeLeft.com is due to announce something Resident Evil related and the rumour of it being Resident Evil 6 has been floating around for the past 24 hours. Now it’s all but confirmed.

It was also revealed by VentureBeats earlier this evening that a “reliable source” at Capcom confirmed to them that the game is “well underway” and is being developed by Resident Evil veterans. they also suggested that Resident Evil 6 will play like a mixture of Resident Evil 4 and 5, featuring suspenseful action and heavy set-pieces. Additional rumours suggest the two playable characters for the main campaign will be Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield with Ada Wong also due to return in some capacity.

I’m a huge Resident Evil fan and these rumours have got me all on edge. Check back on the front page for the info on the 2200 announcement later tonight.

Take -Two have announced that the eagerly expected Max Payne, which had a planned release date of March, would indeed be placed into RockStar’s ‘favourite’ release month of May. Fans can now expect the game to arrive on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on the 15th of May in the US, with the UK dates being the 18th of May. PC gamers having to wait until the 29th of May in the US and the 1st of June in the UK. That’s ages away right?

It was announced by Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two, who said the “short delay” was to ”ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality”.

Pistols crossed that he’s right on that.

“THQ has not cancelled its 2014 line-up, and has not made any decisions regarding the planned MMO,” THQ’s Australian PR arm wrote in a statement.

“As part of the ongoing review of our business, we have made decisions to ensure that the company is strategically addressing the most attractive markets. As we have previously announced, we have dramatically reduced our commitment to the kids’ boxed games sector which leads to a significantly more focused release schedule moving forward. Our slate for calendar 2012 and beyond is focused on high-quality core games and continues to build our digital platform and business. We are excited for our pipeline of original and high-quality content along with our relationships with some of the best talent in the industry.

“Additionally, we are thrilled with the great performance of Saints Row: The Third, which on a like for like period in North America has tripled in sell-through from Saints Row 2. In addition, WWE ’12’s worldwide sell-through sales are up almost 40% year-over-year for the same sales period with fewer platforms. According to NPD, for the month of December and the 2011 year, THQ was the #5 publisher overall, #4 third party, with reported sell through growing over 18% in a market that was down almost 6%. And coming up next, we have two great titles for the first half of the year including UFC Undisputed 3 and Darksiders 2.”

I for one am glad to see THQ deny the rumour and hopefully we can look forward to some great games from the publisher for many years to come.

The publisher behind such games as Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and the ill-fated Homefront, is rumoured to have dropped its portfolio for 2014, which includes an MMO that was being developed at The Game Workshops. Claims have also been made that the company has offered itself for sale.

A forum thread on NeoGAF lists a series of tweets from Kevin Dent from the International Game Developers Association (IGDA). They state that THQ has “cancelled all of their 2014“, “are offering themselves to Asian firms to increase value“, and “has returned IP to Disney after paying the advance, with no refund.”

It’s all speculation at the moment, much like our recent rumour news post on the next generation of console coming soon, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted once official word comes out.
