UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception features the return of famed fortune hunter Nathan Drake and follows him through a gripping, action-packed storyline that will take you all over the world. In his search for the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands,” Nathan Drake and longtime friend and mentor Victor Sullivan set off on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert. But when terrible secrets of this lost city are uncovered, their journey becomes a desperate bid for survival that will force Drake to confront his deepest fears.

Throughout UNCHARTED 3, you’ll be taken to spectacular new locations around the globe,that will showcase all of the work we’ve taken on to take acclaimed physics, particle and visual effects to a new level.

Competitive and co-op multiplayer will return as a key ingredient to the UNCHARTED 3 package, where all of the new features we have planned will combine with our signature single-player cinematic gameplay to create a unique action-adventure multiplayer experience that can only be found in the UNCHARTED universe.

Oh, and there’s one more thing – UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception fully supports high-resolution Stereoscopic 3D.

Once again, the awesome developers at Naughty Dog have another awesome looking game ready for us.

Gaming / Heavy Rain (Sony's take on the Adventure Genre)
« on: February 09, 2010, 07:28:19 AM »


http://heavyrainps3.com/

Seeing how it's coming out so soon (February 23), and is to become one of the PS3's biggest exclusives this year, it be fair to discuss. A game where even the smallest decision will affect everything within with the four main characters. With so many different possible outcomes it seems to be looking to have a lot of potential. Accompanied by a big budget and a depressing tone  ;O;, this will be sure to be unique. With the demo now out on PS3 it seems to be a good time to try.

Quote
In September, we announced an open casting call for The Tester and the response has been tremendous. I want to thank everyone for your submissions! We heard from thousands of PlayStation fans from across the country, all eagerly vying for a spot on The Tester and a chance to compete to win a gamer’s ultimate dream job – an official PlayStation game tester.

Today, I am pleased to be here on the PlayStation.Blog to introduce The Tester cast. In all, 11 contestants were selected for The Tester. The cast ranges in age from 22 – 36 years-old and stems from all walks of life – from a student, to a paramedic, to a used car salesman. While a seemingly diverse bunch, this group is united in the passion needed to be the next PlayStation game tester.

The Tester Cast

To produce The Tester, we teamed up with one of the biggest names in reality television, 51 Minds, the dynamic production company that is the force behind hit series such as The Surreal Life, Rock of Love, and many more hit TV shows. The Tester, to be by hosted Meredith Molinari, model and host of multiple online music shows, will follow the cast over eight episodes as they battle it out in a series of physical and mental challenges in a fight to win a position at Sony Computer Entertainment America. We have also lined up a distinguished panel of judges, including Brent Gocke, Release Manager from Sony Computer Entertainment, and guest judges such as David Jaffe, Director & Lead Designer of God of War and Twisted Metal.

Over the past 15 years, PlayStation has prided itself on not only offering great entertainment, but creating it, including blockbuster franchises and award-winning titles built from the ground-up, like Gran Turismo, God of War, UNCHARTED, LittleBigPlanet and many more; PlayStation Network has continued that tradition with a huge catalogue of original games, including critically acclaimed franchises like flOw, Flower and Fat Princess. Add to that thousands of movies and TV shows, hundreds of digital comics – and of course add-on game content, PS one classics and more – and it becomes clear why PlayStation Network has become the premiere source for digital entertainment at home and on the go. Moreover, the availability of original and exclusive content such as The Tester is just one of the ways PlayStation Network will get even better in 2010.

Stay tuned – we’ll be announcing a special celebrity judge and more show details on The Tester soon. In the meantime, go to TheTester.com check out more information on our cast and panelists and watch audition videos.

Gaming / Rare Wants To Bring Back Classic IPs With Natal
« on: August 18, 2009, 01:13:09 AM »
VideoGamer posted up an interview with Rare where they shed some light on some of their plans with Natal. It seems they want to bring back some of their classic IPs with new Natal functionality, and have one in mind in particular. They wouldn't clarify which one though.

Not only that, but Rare reckons it could do an “absolutely phenomenal, world-beating” Natal version of one classic IP in particular.

Speaking exclusively to VideoGamer.com, design director George Andreas, who has been with the company for 15 years, said “there are IP that we have looked at and are looking at and will be looking at in the future”.

Rare has one of the most impressive back catalogues of any developer in the world. In the 90s it created some of the greatest games of all time, including Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, GoldenEye, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Diddy Kong Racing.

After being purchased by Microsoft in 2002, Rare moved on to creating games for the Xbox 360 console, including Kameo: Elements of Power, Perfect Dark: Zero, and more recently Viva Piñata and, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.

Andreas said: “Natal as well gives us an opportunity to maybe at some point in the future investigate some of those older IPs. I won’t name names.

“One in particular actually I think we can do an absolutely phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal version on with Natal. The interface, the way you interact with it – I think it would be an absolutely world-beating product. But we need to explore a little bit more in that direction.”

Rare is knee deep in secret Natal projects at the moment, and recently advertised for designers to help it create experiences for the technology. Rare was also behind the New Xbox Experience Avatars, which launched last November.

Andreas added: “Yes, there are IP that we have looked at and are looking at and will be looking at in the future as well. So, never say never. Nothing is dead in the water. There is always scope to bring something back if we feel it’s the right time.”

When asked what classic franchise he was referring to, Andreas replied: “I’ll keep that to myself for now.”

Food for thought, Rare fans.

The Curious Village proved that Level 5 could make something so charming. I hope this and the inevitable "The Last Time Travel," as well as the prequel trilogy will continue the trend. That and the upcoming "Eternal Diva" movie as well. For those unfamiliar with this charming British professor, check out the ending of the first game if you wish to see how he is.

Gaming / Concept Artwork For "Epic Mickey" from Warren Spector
« on: July 29, 2009, 07:51:09 PM »
http://www.fredgambino.co.uk/film_tv_thmbs.html
Amongst other non-ludological things, concept art for an “interactive game” called “Epic Mickey.”

Seems to lend some credibility to that story from late last year about a Warren Spector-developed, steampunk-themed title of the same name. I really, really, really hope this is being fully realized, or I’ll be very sad.

Kingdom Hearts has new competition...








More concept art if you please...

Race Into Pole Position With Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing
Get ready for the ultimate racing showdown with Sonic and his SEGA friends!

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (May 28th, 2009) – SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® America, Inc., today announced Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, a fast and furious battle to the finish line in this supercharged racer. Developed for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, the home video game system, Wii™ and the Nintendo DS™ system, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing will speed into stores in early 2010.

In a frantic battle to the chequered flag, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing sees Sonic and friends speed around tracks set in mediaeval castle ramparts, lush rainforests and bustling cities, all taken from the visually rich and varied universes of Sonic and SEGA. Fan favourites such as Dr. Eggman, Tails, AiAi, Amigo and many more will join Sonic in their custom built vehicles, revving their engines and jostling to stay ahead of the pack. Each character will race around the track in cars, planes, motorbikes, and in AiAi’s case – a banana mobile! Secret short cuts, swift handling and avoiding strategically placed obstacles are certainly the best way to get to the top of the podium.

“Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is no ordinary racing game. Its huge variety of characters and vehicles, plus the ability to play both online and off set it apart from other games of this type” commented Gary Knight European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd. “The team have pushed the boundaries on what you would normally expect and created a different and unique party racing title whereby you really can’t take anything for granted!”

And winning is only part of the fun in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing! Each character has a specific All Star move such as Super Sonic, Banana Blitz and Tails Tornado, allowing a quick way for competitors to get back into the race! Power ups and weapons can also be collected around the tracks and used against the opposition to ensure they don’t become a threat to that number one position… Players can battle it out in single or multiplayer mode, allowing up to four friends to race in frantic split-screen action, or up to eight players to compete online in the ultimate racing showdown.

Can Amigo scramble Dr. Eggman? Will AiAi say bye-bye to Tails? Are you gonna be faster than Sonic? The race will start in 2010…

Gaming / Capcom's Spyborgs has a new trailer.

Looks a lot different compared to the original trailer. Graphically it looks very nice and more beat em ups are always welcome in my book.

Easily one of the best cartoons of recent times. VA is spot on for all the characters, animation is very fluid and leads to great fights between Spidey and his rogues, episodes are all linked in some way, and has tons of throwbacks and fanservice for every past Spiderman series. It does it's job well. Discuss the most recent Spider Man incarnation. And you can't deny the awesome main theme.
