The original Motorstorm was an oddly controversial title. Odd because who ever considers racing games controversial? Still, Sony managed to make it just that by over hyping and delivering a disappointing demo that wasn’t quite up to the finished product.
Here’s something that nobody really seemed to be asking for. What if there was a way to integrate the PS3 with the iPhone? That way, you would never have to put down your new gadget iPhone, even when playing with your new gadget PS3.
Don’t ask and you shall receive. NetBlender is announcing that their BD Touch tehcnology allows for two-way connectivity between the PS3 and iPhone, at least when it comes to the Blu-ray playing capabilities. Sound neat? Well, the potential uses are…sort of.
Sure, LucasArts continues to taunt long time fans by not releasing a new title in the TIE Fighter series, but The Force Unleashed is looking to be a nice peace offering. The physics heavy Jedi-powered action title is shaping up to be one of the major titles of this year, if early looks are any indication. And now, it finally has a release date.
Remember when Haze was coming to every system? Remember when Haze still had some hype left in it? It’s sad to say, but Haze has become one of those titles that the closer it gets to release, the less exciting it feels. This newest gameplay montage will likely do nothing to sway those opinions for most, either. It looks enjoyable, but not quite like something that will pull gamers away from better multiplayer experiences, such as Call of Duty 4.
If you simply cannot stand the current PlayStation Store, then April is your month. Sony has announced that the store will get its new redesign sometime in the middle of the month. In the meantime, content updates will cease April 3 until the new design launches.
The current store actually isn’t too bad, and a definite improvement over Xbox Live Marketplace in many regards. This new look is again clean and simple. Still, both systems leave a bit to be desired. It can still be difficult on both systems to find content, something Xbox Live Arcade publishers have complained about.
There isn’t a whole lot that can be said for the new Guitar Hero: Aerosmith expansion. The name basically explains it all. However, it does feel a bit like the Guitar Hero is just gouging fans when Rock Band allows for so much downloadable content without having to purchase entirely new games at full price. Perhaps some people just really, really want a digital Steven Tyler? Perhaps those same people really, really liked Revolution X.
After the successful rebirth of the Resident Evil franchise in Resident Evil 4, can anything truly wow as much? Better graphics alone won’t do it, right? Well, not so fast. The latest footage from Resident Evil 5 now only wows, but it shows a refinement of the franchise, even if it is just in degrees.
GameStop, that bastion of used-game goodness, recently revealed some fairly expected news for gamers. In an investor conference call, GameStop executives revealed that Wii shortages will likely last the next six months, while both the Xbox 360 and PS3 look headed for $50 price drops.
Executives stressed that the price cuts were not official but simply their speculation. They also happened to speculate about a $30 price cut on the PS2. None of this is too surprising, as people have been expecting such a cut on the PS2 for nearly a year now. The Xbox 360 and PS3 price cuts would go a long way toward getting both closer to a mass market price of $200-250. (more…)
Free Radical and Ubisoft have apparently finally let it be known that Haze is no longer a timed exclusive for the PS3. In fact, it’s just a flat out exclusive now. That’s right; the Xbox 360 and PC versions are apparently dead.
What is Haze, anyway? Well, it’s the first next-generation title developed b Free Radical, famous for the TimeSplitters series and Second Sight. Free Radical is better known to some as the refugees from Rare who once many moons ago helped develop Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. Haze is scheduled for release in May. (more…)
Bionic Commando is shaping up to be a very impressive remake. Now, finally, Capcom is starting to drop some details on it. The verdict? This is no quick cash grab of a remake.
First off, Bionic Commando will be priced at $10 across the PSN, Xbox Live and PC. Not a bad price at all for a completely rebuilt game. Consider that much lesser ports and casual titles have sold for $10 on Xbox Live Arcade. Capcom credits the fans for picking this price point, though one can imagine most fans suggested $5 or free.
