MTV Multiplayer writes: When I was writing our round-up of weekly box art reviews yesterday, I couldn't help but notice that the protagonist from stealth-horror hybrid Vampire Rain: Altered Species looks just like the lead character from a different PlayStation title. Could it be a mere coincidence? Or did the developers of Vampire Rain have Metal Gear Solid on the brain?
GamersPlatform reports: ArtToon is at it again, giving Vampire Rain a chance to be a big hit for the Playstation 3 next week. When GamersPlatform received the review copy of Vampire Rain: Altered Species last week, we were surprised to find out that the game will have a 3.8GB mandatory install!...
Gamerdeals.net writes: The highlights this week include Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PC), Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox 360), Vampire Rain: Altered Species (PS3), and FaceBreaker (Xbox 360, PS3). Check out the full list of new video game releases (USA) for the week of August 31, 2008 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Sony PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, and PC!
Worthplaying reports: It is truly an honor to be working with AQ Interactive to bring Vampire Rain: Altered Species to both the North American and European markets, said Ajay Chadha, president of Ignition Entertainment. With a laundry list of notable titles already under their belt and years of experience, we at Ignition Entertainment are very optimistic in regards to this new partnership.
SCRAWL: The official Japanese website for the upcoming PLAYSTATION 3 title Vampire Rain: Altered Species has opened today. The new website contains the first PLAYSTATION 3 screenshots, which we will have in a gallery for you once we get them in high-resolution, game system information (in Japanese), along with a section titled Altered Species giving you a background on the game. We must say though, AQ didn't lie when they said they are improving it. The graphics from the pictures we see look much better than the Xbox 360 version of the game (screens for 360 here). Judge for yourself though.
French website Play3-live writes: Artoon announces today that the PS3 version of Vampire Rain, called Vampire's Rain : Altered Species, will be available the 21st August in Japan. It remains to be seen whether the PS3 version will be better than the 360 version, which should not be too hard to challenge. The game should release in Europe before the end of 2008.
