Naughty Dog ha confirmado la llegada de un nuevo DLC para Uncharted 2: Among Thieves completamente gratuito. Se trata de un mapa llamado “El Fuerte”, y la compañía lo describe como un mapa grande y abierto, perfecto para flanquear. Llegará éste Viernes, junto con un fin de semana de dinero doble por ser el día de acción de gracias, tal y como pasó en Halloween.

El resto de compañías deberían de tomar ejemplo. Nada de contenido de pago que te viene tras haber salido el videojuego. Cosas así siempre serán bienvenidas, y encima los extras para subir más rápido de nivel se agradecen, y ya van dos éste año. Probablemente no se descarte alguno más para Navidad o Año Nuevo.

Actualizado: Éste fin de semana, al igual que los esqueletos Vs zombies del pasado Halloween, el Día de Acción de Gracias se celebrará con solo un personaje héroe y un personaje villano. La gracia es que ambos son la edición obesa. Rosquilla Drake ya estaba incluido en el videojuego, pero aparte, se añadira Rosquilla Lazarevic a la plantilla, siendo de uso obligado en el lado villano en el evento, al igual que Drake como héroe. Sin duda una curiosidad que hará la partida más divertida. A continuación, más fotos.

Should I go for SCEA ?

I have 2 yr 5 months experience and I am planning to take this exam (need to prepare ).. Those who are planning to take this certification, I would suggest you to finish this certifications (SCBCD & SCDJWS), though its not mandatory, but it helps us to gain more knowledge..

Those who have exp more than 5 years can take this exam (Its suggested over here ).Its not mandatory and its purely your fondness to seize this certification.. Please don’t muddle up your talent with experience. Don’t take it (exp) has an obstacle instead take it as an challenge..

Note:
If I acquired SCEA certification, that doesn’t mean that I am a good architect. It helps\guide me to divide the problems into sub problems (which design pattern I have to apply) and it helps me to think like an architect….
But if you’re an experienced person and already came across this problem\issue, then its easy to resolve the issue (which patterns have to be applied and you will know the reason why we need to apply this pattern).

Experienced as well as SCEA Certified aspirant, please provide your valuable suggestions for this issue..

SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals Fire Team Bravo 3 es la nueva secuela de la serie que segun las fuentes de SCEA viene a revolucionar el genero en el portatil. ¿porque? Pues dentro de las multiples opciones que son clasicas de un juego de este tipo donde tomas el single player hasta terminarlo y usualmente pasas a un multiplayer no muy bueno.

Ahora podras completar el SINGLE PLAYER o juntarte con 4 amigos y jugar en Modo Cooperativo. Por si fuera poco tendras la opcion multiplayer con 16 jugadores simultaneos via online. Considero que sera un gran avance y un acierto para los que tienen el portatil y mejor aun si considera que por fin tendremos el lanzamiento del modo AdHoc Party en America. Es decir un sistema que permite un mejor desarrollo de las partidas via online. Asi que fans de los juegos de guerra . . . tambien tendran opcion de seguir en su PSP.

Nota: El AdHoc Party no solo es para este juego sino para titulos como Monster Freedom Unite, Gran Turismo PSP entre muchos otros.

Tal vez esto no parezca nada si comparamos a Uncharted 2 con lo que ha hecho Modern Warfare 2 [en un solo día vendió 1.23 millones de unidades en UK], pero vamos este es un juego exclusivo de una sola consola y 1 millón es 1 millón… [Que los de Naughty Dog no te oigan hablar de MW 2 XD]

Las ventas corresponden a estas 2 semanas en las que el juego a estado en el mercado aunque no se dío el dato si pertenecían a una zona en especifico o era a nivel mundial

Philip Rosenberg Vicepresidente de SCEA:

“ Es el segundo mejor lanzamiento de PlayStation 3, y hasta la semana pasada, ya hemos vendido más de un millón de copias en tan sólo un par de semanas desde que está en el mercado.

Pues al menos a mí este juego me ha dado una de mis mejores experiencias en videojuegos y eso que aun no lo termino… Vientos Naughty Dog un gran gran juego.

Gran Turismo(R) Awards’ ‘Best of Show’ Winner Races Away With the Privilege to Be Featured in the World’s Best-Selling Racing Franchise

Seventh Annual Awards Ceremony at SEMA Show Celebrates Car Culture by Honoring Automotive Excellence in Six Categories

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) hosted its seventh annual Gran Turismo® Awards at the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show in Las Vegas Wednesday to embrace the passion of customizing cars and showcase the efforts in the Gran Turismo® franchise, one of the top-selling video game franchises of all time with more than 53 million units shipped worldwide. Once a year, the Gran Turismo Awards offer SEMA show exhibitors the opportunity to be included among the ranks of the famed Gran Turismo racing franchise, as one car is chosen to be added to a future Gran Turismo title and driven virtually by millions across the globe. Many entries were received for this year’s Gran Turismo Awards, but only one vehicle will be immortalized in Gran Turismo. After deliberation from the judges panel and Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi himself, the 2009 prestigious “Best of Show” was awarded to “Best Hot Rod” winner, Philip Koenen for his 1970 Ford Mustang “Trans-Cammer.”

“The Gran Turismo Awards continue to seek out and reward automotive enthusiasts who demonstrate passion for outstanding design and performance, while also celebrating a strong collaboration with the gaming industry,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, famed creator of the Gran Turismo franchise and President of Polyphony Digital. “We have been very pleased with the high quality of vehicles vying for the award the past seven years, and look forward to having this 1970 Ford Mustang ‘Trans-Cammer’ join our list of distinguished past winners as part of the Gran Turismo franchise.”

The GT Award winning vehicles from the past two years, Brian Filoteo’s high- performance Infinity G37 from 2008 and Marcel Horn’s HPA Audi TT from 2007, were both available for guests to test drive in the latest version of Gran Turismo 5® shown at the event. Previous Gran Turismo Award winners can now be raced in past installments of the Gran Turismo series, including Gran Turismo®5 Prologue, available exclusively on the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system.

About Judging For The Gran Turismo Awards

Prior to SEMA 2009, all exhibitors were invited to enter their vehicles into the Gran Turismo Awards, which honor five different categories comprised of: “Best Domestic Automobile,” “Best European Import,” “Best Hot Rod,” “Best Asian Import,” and “Best Truck/SUV.” Judges consisted of various respected automotive journalists representing media outlets such as Motor Trend, European Tuner, and Import Tuner, with judging for each category based on a balance between performance, style, and speed. Yamauchi then bestows the “Best in Show” award honor to one of these five category winners.

About the Gran Turismo Award Winners

The seventh annual Gran Turismo Awards ceremony was held at the Palms Resort & Casino’s Rain Nightclub, international Las Vegas hot spot and celebrity playground. Award winners, automotive industry VIP’s and party guests were treated to a blistering live performance by California punk band The Offspring and music by DJ Z-Trip. Guests were also invited to test drive Gran Turismo 5 and the recently released Gran Turismo for PSP.

Koenen’s “Trans-Cammer” received the “Best Hot Rod” award, and in addition to winning “Best of Show,” we will have the honor of seeing this 1970 Ford Mustang in full high-definition glory as part of the automotive stable of a future Gran Turismo property. The “Best Truck/SUV” honor was presented to Scott Bailey and Tony Vanillo’s Ford F250 Unlimited 2 Class short-course race truck. The “Best Asian Import” award was given to Chris Rado’s World Racing Unlimited Front-Wheel-Drive Time Attack Scion TC.

The “Best European Import” award was given to KC Howet’s 2009 Underground Racing Lamborghini LP560-4TT. The final category for “Best Domestic Automobile” was awarded to Nicholas Ashby’s Moment Carbon Camaro.

About the Gran Turismo® Franchise

With more than 53 million units shipped worldwide, the award-winning Gran Turismo® franchise for the PlayStation®, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, PlayStation®3 and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) is regarded as the best and most authentic driving simulator ever created due to its true-to-life graphics, authentic physics technology and design. Since the inception of the Gran Turismo franchise, famed creator Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital Inc. in Japan have revolutionized the racing category as we know it today. His offerings provide the most realistic driving simulation in the industry and a unique medium for automotive manufacturers to showcase their products.

The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated all Gran Turismo properties “E” for Everyone. For more information about the ESRB, please visit http://www.esrb.org/.

Obvio . . . uno de los lanzamiento más importantes para Sony el proximo año es God of War III y siguiendo las exigencias del mercado. Se lanzara una versión ULTIMATE que contendra no solo la bonita replica de la “Caja de Pandora” que conocimos en el primer juego, sino tambien el soundtrack (con todo y rolas metaleras) . . . un pack de retos exclusivos, contenido online exclusivo ”Armaduras” y los basicos detras de camaras.

Siendo objetivos el paquete esta muy CHULO . . . sin embargo, creo que no es necesario. Soy fan de GOD OF WAR y me emociona que se reediten GOW 1 y 2 para el PS3, para mi eso es suficiente. Pero si lo tuyo es ser el ULTIMATE FAN . . . dicen que el paquete costara alrededor de $100 USD.

Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) pops the cork on its ninth anniversary of the PlayStation®2 (PS2™) computer entertainment system, which has been the benchmark for innovation in home entertainment systems since its debut on October 26, 2000.  At the time of its inception the PlayStation 2 system broke all preconceived notions of what a video game experience could offer, serving as an entertainment hub for the whole family with its integrated DVD/CD technology and online connectivity.  Nine years later the PlayStation 2 system is still making its way into living rooms around the world and welcoming a new generation of gamers, some of whom were not even born when the system launched.

In fact, one in every three U.S. households own a PlayStation 2 system and nearly 140 million people around the world can attest to its great entertainment value, making it one of the world’s most popular video game systems.  The PlayStation 2 system is responsible for pushing the envelope by introducing popular franchises like God of War®, Gran Turismo®, Ratchet & Clank® and METAL GEAR SOLID®, which are continuing to make their way into the hands of new gamers – young and old.  One such franchise, SOCOM, took clear advantage of online game play and connectivity via the PlayStation 2 system.  As a result, the SOCOM franchise has become one of the most played of all time, with over 530 million online hours logged since the debut of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs in 2002.  This equates to an incredible 60,000 years of online play. 

The PlayStation 2 system’s library and fan base continues to grow every day. In the U.S, more than 500 million software units have been sold for the PlayStation 2 system and more than 485 developers have helped to develop for the platform since its launch.. This number will undoubtedly continue to grow.By the end of this fiscal year, nearly 10,000 titles in total will be available to PlayStation 2 system owners around the world, including new family-friendly and social games from our first party studios such as Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier™, Motorstorm®: Arctic Edge and Secret Agent Clank™, as well as third party titles like Bakugan® Battle Brawlers™, EA SPORTS FIFA Soccer and WWE®.

With nine years under its belt, the PlayStation 2 system shows no signs of slowing down and at $99 (MSRP), it still offers hours of fun for the whole family. The PlayStation 2 system is well on its way to delivering ten years of value to consumers and will continue to serve as a testament to the leading innovation and unbeatable entertainment the PlayStation brand provides its consumers.

“The PlayStation 3 system has always been about more than just gaming, and it will soon be the only platform in the industry to offer consumers such a variety of convenient options for enjoying movies and TV shows,” said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. “Whether you want to watch content on Blu-ray disc and DVD, download it from the PlayStation Network’s video delivery service, or stream videos instantly from Netflix, the PS3 system is the only solution that offers it all.”

“As instantly watching movies and TV episodes streamed from Netflix becomes an increasingly popular way to enjoy the Netflix service, our goal is to rapidly expand the devices that stream to our members,” said Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings. “As a leading game console and Blu-ray disc player, bringing Netflix to the PS3 system is a real win for both Netflix members and PS3 system owners.”

Initially, watching movies instantly streamed from Netflix via the PS3 system will be enabled by a free, instant streaming Blu-ray disc that is being made available to all Netflix members. The free instant streaming disc leverages Blu-ray’s BD-Live(TM) technology to access the Internet and activate the Netflix user interface on the PS3 system, which must be online via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

Netflix members simply slide the disc into their PS3 systems to reveal movies and TV episodes that can be watched instantly. These titles are conveniently organized into a variety of categories based on members’ personal preferences, popular genres, new arrivals and members’ individual instant Queues. Members can use the Netflix Web site or navigate directly on their PS3 systems to add movies and TV shows to their Queues. With the PS3 system’s Wireless Controller, members can choose a movie to watch from their instant Queues or just play directly from any of the lists. They also have the ability to read synopses and rate movies. In addition, they have the option of fast-forwarding and rewinding the video stream via the Wireless Controller.

Netflix members and PS3 system owners can now reserve a free instant streaming disc for PS3 systems by going to www.netflix.com/ps3. Upon availability, the instant streaming disc will be delivered for free by first-class mail, generally one business day after members request it.

Uncharted: Eye of Indra Episode 1 es una creación de Naughty Dog donde contaran una historia alterna a los sucesos de los videojuegos con un estilo tipo comic. Aqui lo puedes ver en el canal de Machinima. Y segun SCEA este será una forma de expandir el concepto de Uncharted y quien sabe, seguramente una tecnica de mercadeo para saber si la marca es redituable.

UPDATE: El 3 de Noviembre inicia el embarque de la consola de 250 GB por $350 USD. Creo que Sony por fin se puso las pilas, y muchos pronostican que este año será del PS3.

Por mi parte y haciendo alusión al comentario de un buen amigo que dijo:”Cada vez más los $600 Dolares que pague por mi Playstation 3 de 60 GB se ven más ridiculos”. Yo le respondo, que en México hubo personas que pagaron entre $ 12 a 16 mil pesos por esa consola en su lanzamiento, y tanto para que, para que fuera descontinuada. Hoy en dia, aun debemos pagar $ 6000 pesos, porque SONY Mexico nos roba dinero con el argumento de que tiene que pagar impuestos. En fin, hay lugares y tipos con suerte.

Asi como lo ven . . . SCEA anuncio que si lanzara su nuevo PS3 Slim con 250 GB para esta temporada de fin de año . . . todo a vez, que se tienen contemplados varios bundles que serán lanzados a partir de Noviembre . . . pero si no te interesa comprar paquetes, tranquilo ya que como puedes ver en la imagen tambien se tiene pensado lanzarlo solito, solito. Su precio aproximado $350 USD. Aun asi les tendre más noticias pronto . . . ahora quiero ver la respuesta de Microsoft . . . seguro y anuncian su modelo ELITE 250 GB tambien para venta sin ningun otro bundle.

Following the successful launch of the slimmer and lighter PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system with 120GB hard disk drive (HDD), Sony Computer Entertainment America today announced that a new PS3 system with a 250GB HDD will be available on November 3 for $349.99 (MSRP). Launching in time for the holiday season, the 250GB PS3 system provides consumers with plenty of storage capacity to download more games, movies, and TV shows from PlayStation®Network, as well as to store their personal media files, including music, photos, and videos.

The 250GB PS3 system offers the same form factor and functionality as the current 120GB system, which achieved retail sales of 1 million units worldwide in the three weeks since its launch on September 1. Both models will be available at retail this holiday, providing both gamers and gift-givers with the opportunity to choose the PS3 system that’s right for them.

“The PS3 platform is poised for a tremendous holiday season,” said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. “We kicked things off early with the new price point and sleek form factor and have continued the momentum with this week’s launch of the universally acclaimed exclusive, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The new 250GB PS3 provides consumers with another compelling hardware option and speaks to the growing consumer appetite for digital content from the PlayStation Network – particularly high-def content that showcases the power of the PS3 system.”

More than 600 million pieces of content have been downloaded from PlayStation Network as of September 2009, and in conjunction with the launch of the 250GB PS3 system, PlayStation Network will continue to expand with a broad range of original games and blockbuster entertainment content for download this holiday season. Exclusive downloadable games launching soon on PlayStation®Store include PixelJunk Shooter, Gravity Crash, and Hustle Kings.

In addition, PlayStation Network’s video delivery service, which offers downloadable movies and TV episodes for rental or purchase, will soon add Star Trek, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Bruno, and other summer blockbusters to its movie lineup. The PlayStation Network currently offers 2,300 movies, one-third of which are available in HD format, as well as more than 13,300 TV episodes.

Polyphony Digital tarafından PS3 için özel olarak yapılan Gran Turismo 5, Japonya’da 31 Mart 2010′da, diğer bölgelerde ise bu tarihten biraz sonra piyasalara çıkacak. Gran Turismo 5′in yapımcı ekibinin başında, GT1′den beri bulunan Kazunori Yamuchi ile bir röportajı sizlere aktarmak istiyoruz.

” Röportajı yapan: Kazunori Yamuchi’ye çok saygı duyuyorum. Onunla röportaj yapmak herkese nasip olmuyor. Bu benim için çok özel bir an olacak. Güne normal başladım ve Polyphony Digital Stüdyolarına uğradım. İçeride herkes güleryüzlü ama, herkesin bir sürü işi var. Kazunori Yamauchi’ye saygımdan dolayı ona soyadı ile hitap etmeyeceğim. Kendisine Sensei diyeceğim.

İşte Sensei, şu anda geldi ve platformun üzerine çıktı. İlk önce GT’nin PSP versiyonundan bahsediyor. PSP versiyonunda açılacak olan arabaların GT5′e çok kolay bir şekilde ekleneceğinden bahsediyor.  Sonra PSP versiyonuna orjinal GT5′ten progresive olarak nasıl videoların yükleneceğinden bahsediyor.

Şimdi GT5′den bahsetmeye başladı. Bana hiç kimsenin daha önce görmediği ve Polyphony Digital dışında hiç kimsenin daha önce bilmediği bir video gösteriyorlar. Gran Turismo 5 ile ilgili video. Nascar arabaları geçiyor. Ardından rally arabaları geçiyor. Gece ve gündüz farklılıkları gösteriliyor. Ardından gece yarışlarından bir parça gösteriliyor. Şimdi arabaların hasar almış halleri gösteriliyor. Bütün video tamamen oyun Replay’lerinden oluşma. İnanılmaz, Grafiklerin Gt Prologue ile alakası yok. Hele gördüğüm hasar şekillerinin son TGS09′da gösterilen videolarla alakası yok. İnanılmaz.

Sensei yanıma geldi. tokalaştık. Kendisine Sensei diye hitap ettiğimde yüzünde bir gülümseme beliriyor. Ardından konuşmaya başlıyoruz. Sony’den Gran Turismo 5′in bir an önce çıkarılması konusunda dayanılmaz baskılar aldıklarını belirtiyor. Açıkçası bir an önce tüm dünya çıkış tarihlerinin açıklanması konusunda Sony çok büyük baskı da bulunuyormuş. Dayanılmaz diyor. Kendisine oyunun yapımının neden 5 sene sürdüğünü soruyorum. Gülümsüyor. Peki diyor siz biliyor musunuz? Gran Turismo 1 kaç senede yapıldı? Gülümsüyorum ve hayır diyorum. O da gülüyor ve 5 sene diyor. Yine aynı şekilde tüm oyunu tam ve yeni baştan yapmaya çalışıyoruz. Bu yüzden bu kadar uzun sürdü diyor. Aslında diye ekliyor. GT6′yı yapmak çok daha basit olacak diyor. Sonra yine Sony’nin baskısından bahsediyor. Oyunu yapan ekibin tamamının aileleri ile 6 aylığına vedalaştığını ve yatak yorganlarını alarak stüdyoya taşındıklarını (kendisi de dahil) söylüyor. Bütün ekip stüdyoda yatıp kalkıyorlarmış. Benim ailem diyor. Polyphony Digital’de. O an gözlerine bakıp bir oyun ve işi için yapılan fedakarlıkları görüyorum. Açıkçası biz batılıların pek anlayamacayağı birşey bu.

Sensei GT’den bahsediyor. Araba sürmekten çok büyük zevk aldığını bu yüzden herkesin bu zevki tatmasını istediğini o yüzden GT1′i yaptıklarını anlatıyor. Ama seride yapımında en çok zorlandıkları oyunun zaman darlığı yüzünden GT2 olduğunu söylüyor.

Sensei’nin anlatmasına göre oyundaki arabalar tüm iç modellemelerine kadar en ince detayı ile modellenmiş bulunuyor. GT5 ekibi şu anda bu detayları daha da arttırmak ve hasar modellemesi üzerinde çalışıyormuş. Hasar modellemesi hakkında pek konuşmak istemiyor. Bu bir sır sanki onlar için. Ama sonra açılıyor ve diyor ki, Bizden mükemmeli bekliyorlar. Açıkçası bizde mükemmeli vereceğiz.

Gran Turismo 5′in en büyük özelliklerinden birisinin Nascar yarışları olduğunu anlatan Sensei, çok büyük hızlarla seyreden arabaların pistten çıkması, kaza yapması ve hasar almasının oyunculara çok büyük zevkler vereceğini umduklarını söylüyor.

Gece yarışları içinde ellerinden gelenin en iyisini yaptıklarını sözlerine ekliyor. Sonra diyor ki, oyun yapımcılarımız ve ekibimiz size ve tüm oyunculara diğer oyunlarda gördüğünüz şeyleri vermek için çalışmıyor. Biz size diğer oyunlarda daha önce hiç görmediğiniz, yepyeni deneyimler sunmak için Gran Turismo 5 üzerinde çalışıyoruz diyor  ve röportajımız burada bitiyor.  Polyphony Digital Stüdyolarından çıkarken aklımda Sensei’nin sözleri yankılanıyor. ” İnsanlar bizden Mükemmeli bekliyor. Biz de mükemmeli vereceğiz. ” “

Did you ever have a time in your life where you wanted to get something no matter what the cost?

Enter the ultra sexy Fortune Hunter Edition

sWhat does limited mean? Well, for some of you have come every so often to hear me ramble and rant about certain things will know that I made a post regarding the exclusive/limited nature of figures<insert link>. The general principle is the same for practically every hobby that you choose to pursue sans all the technical stuff.

If you ever pay attention to the information printed on the box of your video games and/or manuals, if it is on the Sony platform then you will most likely see SCEA or SCEE. Depending on the region that you are in or where you bought you game, you will be seeing one of those with your game.

The Fortune Hunter Edition is a special bundle done by SCEA meaning that it is exclusive only to the United States. If SCEE had done something special, then it would be only available to Europe. Stuff like this happens for both regions, really.

So, for all the whiners out there who are super pissed off that this isn’t available to them, then it just sucks that the marketing for their region isn’t sponsoring any spiffy events such as this. So, it’s a shame that it just turned out this way for such an excellent title.

Now, this puts a whole new spin on the word “limited”. I know that I tend to get irritated when something that is supposed to be limited in nature is mass-produced and easily obtainable. Let’s just put it this way. I think real, diehard fans are the ones that should be rewarded with sexy limited editions and not just some random joe schmuck who comes in and happens to be at the right place and time. Fortune Hunter Edition is insanely limitd in the sense that it will not be available through purchase and I’m not counting eBay, Craigslist or any other area where people sell off goods.

The Fortune Hunter Edition comes with some exclusive downloadable content, autographs from the entire Naughty Dog development team, a thick and aged-looking art book, the video game, and the exact in-game replica of the Phurba dagger artefact. The Phurba dagger artefact is measured at a whopping 15 inches length. Everyone seems to think it’s the size of a letter opener, but this baby is the real thing.

If you could buy this bundle, it would cost $400 not including tax. Yeah, I think I’m crazy enough to go and purchase this bundle.

Anyways, I’m really happy that this edition exists and will be trying my absolute darnedest to be one of the lucky 200 to get a chance at owning this. Oh yeah, there’s only a limited amount made because cost of production would probably run an all-time high.

Title: PS3 UNCHARTED2 GAME PLAY
Length: 300 mins
Rating: PG-13
Synopsis: If you can’t wait until October 13th, SCEA and Sony Electronics have partnered to produce an exclusive “sneak peek” event that bring UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves to the big screen before launch. Join Naughty Dog in a night of fun and Multiplayer tournaments with the chance to win lots of cool prizes-including the Fortune Hunter Edition. Attendees will also have the chance to play UNCHARTED 2 on the ultimate high definition big screen, powered by Sony Electronics 4K digital cinema technology, which provides image resolution four times greater than any high-definition consumer television out there. Sony Electronics is working with major theaters across the country to create “digital destinations”, pairing 4K digital cinema technology with enhanced events for gaming, music and sports to create an unprecedented entertainment experience. UNCHARTED 2 will be one of the first pre-released games showcased at select sites. Event is from 6PM to 11PM. Registration begins at 5PM.

I’ve just preordered my copy of Eye Pet for the PS3 for the handsome price of £17.99 and am eagerly awaiting it’s arrival on October 23rd. I’m keen to see just what can be done to and with that little fuzzy chap. However the same can’t be said for US gamers as the Eye Pet has been officially delayed until 2010…What?! A prime Christmas game for all ages NOT being released for Christmas? Bravo Sony. Destructoid first broke the story then CVG ran with it adding confirmation of the delay because SCEA wishes to spend more time marketing the game. As of today, the 6th October, there are 79 days left until Christmas. That’s 79 days of marketing right there! I’m continuously baffled by Sony’s antics this generation and it sometimes seems like they want fail even though they have the most powerful, future-proofed console on the market.

Dejense de mamadas por favor!

Una más acerca de God Of War III.

Pues resulta ser que Sony Computer Entertainment America le propuso cambiar radicalmente el formato al director del juego, Stig Asmussen.

Debo de aceptar que tal vez tendría un poco más de profundidad al tomar el control de Kratos a través de sus ojos, y ver como sería arrancar la cabeza de Helios y que me brotará la sangre frente a las narices.   Pero también he de aceptar que no creo que resultaría el control o el gameplay al no poder ver completamente esos fabulosos combos que ejecuta el Fantasma de Sparta.

“Traté sin éxito de convencer al director, Stig Asmussen, de hacer God of War III con forma de First Person Shooter”, comentó Ken Fieldman. “Kratos podría haber tenido mucho éxito con sus armas enormes desmembrando a dioses. Por desgracia el director no vio nada interesante en esa idea”.

Pobre de ti Stig que me pongas como un FPS. Te va a pasar lo que a la Hydra, pero sentado cabrón!

Acclaimed Off-Road Racing Franchise Hits PSP(R) (Playstation(R)Portable) as MotorStorm(R) Arctic Edge Combats the Alaskan Terrain

Multi-Player Action, Customizable Vehicles, Reversible Tracks, and Unpredictable Environments Come Together to Deliver the Wildest MotorStorm Experience Yet

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA) announced today the North American release of MotorStorm® Arctic Edge, the first title of the popular MotorStorm franchise available exclusively for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and PSP®go systems. Developed by Bigbig Studios, the highly acclaimed development team renowned for its best-selling Pursuit Force(TM) series, MotorStorm Arctic Edge stays true to the signature MotorStorm style with hostile Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), multi-route tracks, and combat-style racing action where the goal is to not only win, but survive. The game introduces 12 unique and reversible racing tracks, two additional vehicle classes, multiplayer racing action, and a rugged Alaskan environment chock full of treacherous obstacles and hazardous terrain.

“We are excited to have MotorStorm Arctic Edge added to the arsenal of quality PSP titles available this holiday,” said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President, Product Marketing, SCEA. “MotorStorm Arctic Edge takes full advantage of PSP functionality by bringing exciting features such as eight-player online and ad-hoc modes, photo mode, and the ability to create a custom music playlist to suit your driving mood.”

Entering the latest MotorStorm Festival location, players will be greeted by a rugged Alaskan landscape featuring narrow mountain passes, giant ice caves, and slippery ice bridges showcased in 12 amazing new track designs. Players will need lightning-fast reflexes to negotiate the dangerous arctic conditions, including sudden avalanches triggered by vehicle horns, collapsing ice bridges, bobsleigh corners, and three different racing altitudes. Combat-like racing takes center stage as vehicles are treated as weapons to fight off other racers.

With dramatic forces of nature and humans colliding, MotorStorm Arctic Edge gives players more aggressive tools in their competitive arsenals. Along with six vehicle classes from the original MotorStorm, two new snow-specific classes are introduced – the nimble Snowcat and the more forceful Snow Machine. Players can personalize each vehicle in the livery by updating with a selection of wheels, exhaust, spoilers and sponsorship stickers. Also, to further simulate realistic game play, cutting-edge AI analyzes the race and surroundings and reacts to situations in real time, locating the best routes and changing the level of aggression based on cumulative player actions.

In multiplayer, MotorStorm Arctic Edge allows up to eight players to compete against each other wirelessly via Ad-Hoc Mode. Alternatively, players can compete via online multiplayer using Infrastructure mode to make it to the summit of the online global leaderboards.

Featuring a compilation of 20 licensed tracks from top artists and more, the MotorStorm Arctic Edge in-game soundtrack heightens the game’s icy off-road pandemonium, motivating players to blast through packed snow and obliterate the competition. For the PSP player who prefers custom tunes, music can be added from a memory stick.

The independent Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rates MotorStorm Arctic Edge “T” for “Teen.” For more information about the ESRB, visit www.esrb.org. For more information about MotorStorm, visit www.motorstorm-thegame.com.
