Sega made the first gameplay showing of tri-Ace’s End of Eternity in Tokyo this morning as part of Microsoft Japan’s spring showcase.

The game is tri-Ace’s first for PS3, and will release on both 360 and the Sony machine.

There’s no confirmation of a western release as yet.

Capcom aired the first gameplay footage of Dead Rising 2 in Tokyo this morning, showing the game’s protagonist attacking zombies in casinos with a chainsaw and a broom.
