Some show floor footage recorded off-screen at the SQUARE-ENIX booth I assume. The Japanese version comes out 2009.12.17
A second update video to the PSP port of Persona 3 featuring more battles and the adventure story modes through school and other areas.
With some exceptions to how you navigate through the story events of the game. Persona 3 for PSP, looks no different from the PS2 Version that came out a few years ago. The suicide head shot of the female lead still looks creepy and cool.
From Software has created a new genre mixing game for the PS3 blending the old school art-style of 8-bit pixel graphics with 3d Technology.
Seems like the inter-web has uploaded a preview clip of yesterday SQUARE-ENIX pre TGS Final Fantasy XIII event, in a leaked picture from TV Snow is seen with a new character Serah, which he gives her a ride on his Shiva bike. Check out the video below for a preview of the event on Japanese TV.

SQUARE-ENIX has released a new trailer for its upcoming Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep game on PSP.
The new Disney characters will be from Snow White, Lilo and Stitch, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. When looking at the trailer the gameplay scenes seems to be using the same engine as DISSIDIA which is good as the graphics produced on the PSP are top notch, I can’t really say that for the cutscenes as it seems to be similar to the PS2 versions. The Japanese version will be coming out sometime in later 2009.
A fan over at NicoNico Video has created a nice compilation video of various macross Frontier cosplay around the globe, Singapore gets a mention too

Valkyria Chronicles 2: The Royal Military Academy of Gallia, what a long tag line, has its 1st teaser trailer for the game, its nice to see they are using anime cutscene instead of the PSP “CANVAS” engine which will be impossible to replicate its PS3 counterpart. The official site Blog seems to have been updated with more information on the gameplay and the character art.
Tower of Shadows is an action platform game where you control an invisible boy’s shadow. You moves along the environment shadows solving puzzles and defeating enemies. A rather cool concept but too bad its for the Wii.

In Game Cutscenes
I wonder how many still remember the 1st Kingdom Under Fire games for the PC and XBOX? Here is an update on Kingdom Under Fire II from the developers that also created the N3 game for Q? on XBOX 360 which was sort of a spiritual successor to KUF. So far I am impressed with the graphics engine used for the real-time cutscenes. Check out some of the screenshots here.
