Recently, Japanese publisher has unveiled its first next-gen titles at a press conference held in Japan. The game is called Vampire Rain and is being developed by Artoon (Blinx and Blue Dragon) and Naoto Oshima (Sonic series). This a horror-themed action-adventure game will be developed for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and is scheduled to be released in the winter of 2006. The main concept of this game is fear and coupled with vampires, the game will deliver new level of horror and excitement.

The concept for Vampire”s Rain is fear, Oshima reveals to the magazine. As we mentioned in our original story on the game, Oshima believes Vampires have, in recent years, gone from being scary to being cool. He hopes to return them to their original form, as strong, frightening creatures. He points out some characteristics of vampires: they”re faster than humans, they cannot be defeated with ordinary weapons, and they cannot be discerned from other people. Vampire”s Rain will allow players to experience this type of enemy. As the setting for the game, Artoon has chosen Los Angeles, and with good reason. According to Oshima, Artoon went with an LA setting because it rains only a few times a year in the city. Rain is an important element in Vampire”s Rain, as the game”s vampires are weakened by the downpour. Players will want to go out on missions during the rain. Read the rest of the article at IGN
