Sega announces Virtua Cop Re-Birth

Sega has continued its pattern of re-releasing modern classics with Virtua Cop Rebirth, a mixture of the first two games along with some finely honed extras. Due out on PlayStation 2 in Japan later this year, the game is compatible with Namco's GunCon 2. Along with the original two games, this compendium boasts a CG gallery (apparently including lots of artwork and cutscenes related to the game and its background), training, practice and Vs modes and a one-man-against-thirty survival mode. No European release date information is currently available, as is always the way with Sega, but the game would be published by trumpet-blowing SCEE, so we don't expect to be waiting too long for an announcement.
