Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Sequel Announced

Many of us probably saw it coming, but Sega have now officially confirmed that a sequel for Sega & Sonic All-Stars Racing is now in the works.


Announced to Kotaku at the Toy Fair in New York, the sequel will be out at some point later this year. No further details have been confirmed as of yet, although it is likely it will see a release on the major consoles once again. 


New characters and vehicles will be revealed later in the year, along with a name, which I'm betting will be something as simple as Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing 2. 

L.A. Noire Sequel Is A Maybe?

Fans yearning for a sequel to L.A. Noire may be in luck after Rockstar announced via News Wire that the franchise could make a return in the future.


"While there won’t be any more DLC or additional content for the current release of L.A. Noire (we’re all too busy working on Max Payne 3, GTAV and other games to come), don’t count out the possibility of a new game in the L.A. Noire franchise in the future. We simply have not decided anything," reads the News Wire post. "We don’t always rush to make sequels, but that does not mean we won’t get to them eventually – see Max and Red Dead for evidence of that – we have so many games we want to make and the issue is always one of bandwidth and timing."

Last year's L.A. Noire was a fantastic game, so it would be great if a sequel is eventually in the works! 

Borderlands 2 Teaser Trailer

Borderlands 2 was recently announced earlier this month to much enthusiasm from fans of the original best-selling game. More details about this announcement can be found at my previous Borderlands 2 article. 


Nothing much has been confirmed up until now that is. The first teaser trailer introduces a brand new character, but other aspects can also be noted:

• It appears that the desert wasteland of the first Borderlands will be joined by new grass and snow terrains. 
• Although the art-style is continuing on from Borderlands, it is definitely much sleeker and comic-book looking than before.
• The character featured in this teaser trailer wields two weapons. Perhaps we shall be able to use two weapons at once in Borderlands 2?

So, if you wish to see a muscled-up guy blast some Skags, then you can do so by viewing the trailer below:

Borderlands 2?
The first concerns the official announcement of Borderlands 2! It's predecessor shifted over 2 million copies in the first two months of release, so a sequel was inevitable.
