If the Playstation had one thing over Xbox’s online service, it was that it was free, but if you’ve been keeping up with the news you may have heard rumors about a paid subscription coming in the future. It’s called the PlayStation Network Premium Service, which is not too catchy, but hey, A for effort. While there isn’t a lot of information about it yet, they did mention that they will have more for the public in the near future, probably meaning E3.
David Jaffe is the guy who has brought us some very brutal games in the past, which include him working on the Twisted Metal Series, the most popular being Twisted Metal Black. As well as the first God of War, which was a wild success and brought us a series that everyone is sure to remember. But what is he working on now? There has been some talk about him working on the new Twisted Metal game that many people have been looking forward to for a long time.
The PS3 always shows up on top in Japan, right alongside the PSP, so it was a bit of a shock when the Wii surpassed the PS3 just last week for second place. One week later found that the PS3 pushed the Wii back to its proper place on the Japanese charts. There was no real reason for this sudden change, but apparently all of the consoles saw a slight drop in sales except for the Xbox 360. This could be because of the fact that Bayonetta is bundled along with Forza 3 on the 360, both of which are hugely popular games in Japan.
If you’re a big Metal Gear Solid fan, then the name Hideo Kojima needs no introduction. Well, if you’ve been dying to meet the man who brought you all of your favorite video games, then you can meet him in person as he goes around to both L.A. and N.Y. with the release of the newest installment in the series.
While Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is set to release on June 8th, Kojima will be in New York on June 11 at the Uniqlo from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and later at the Best Buy in Union Square from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. No worries for anyone all the way across the country! Kojima will be on the West Coast June 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the GameStop in Universal Citywalk. If you’re in the middle of the country I would suggest walking now, or taking a plane, whatever is easiest.
According to the next Gamepro issue, Killzone 3 is happening. Shocker, right?
So, are you ready for some 3D Killzone? Nope? Neither am I. I enjoyed the hell out of Killzone 2, but having the game in 3D is a huge turn-off. The 3D will require a 3D TV, 3D glasses, and sitting in the middle of your couch to see the 3D correctly. By the way, according to this article, “3D-enabled TVs [are] in the $3,000 to $12,000 range.” While the thought of Killzone in 3D is ridiculous yet exciting, there’s no way I will ever shell out that much money just to play one game. Of course, the option for us to play in regular 2D will probably be there.
Just last week a trailer was released for Little Big Planet 2 and it didn’t disappoint. Although it didn’t really mention a lot of specific details it did answer some questions people would have about the sequel, and told us a few of the new things you could do. During the trailer they mention how you will not only create levels but actual characters, called Sackbots, which you can program. You can also chain together your levels to make your own little version of a game. That’s something that can be really interesting to see people make two, or even a dozen, levels that tie into each other for just one big adventure. Also, for anyone that was worried they would have to recreate their old favorites for this new game, don’t worry. They mention that all of them will be moving over and “looking better than ever” which means they probably will update the graphics for them too. All the while showing all of the cool things you can do, and make, such as racing, playing a ship in a space invader style game, a cool dance floor and the list keeps going.
