metal_gear_solid_pal-ps1copy.jpg

Yes, I’m British. I spell “rumour” with two u’s. What U going to do about it? Well hopefully you’ll have no time to do anything, because either you’ll be embedded in Snake’s final mission on the Playstation 3, or engrossed in one of Snake’s first on the Xbox 360. Read more…

We reported that BioShock would be coming to the PS3 back on May 22nd, however what we did not know at that time was that it would be “genetically enhanced”.

Free Radical Confirms Final Haze Resolution

by Patrick Steen on May 18, 2008

haze_s1-titleimage2copy.jpg

After reporting on the native rendering resolution of the Haze demo, some questioned my reasoning that the final game would sport the same resolution. This is despite there seldom being an example of a game’s resolution differing from its demo. In visiting Free Radical’s studio near Nottingham, creative lead Derek Littlewood confirmed our suspicions. Read more…

60GB PS3 “Fan Test”: Want to Kill Your Console?

by Patrick Steen on April 14, 2008

061023goat_560-goatcopy.jpgFat Kid

Over this past weekend a video detailing a Playstation 3 fan test made its way onto the internetz. The test runs through the fan speeds, ending in a rocket boost to blow out as much dust as possible.  Sadly, it only works on the 40GB model, so many were still left with a trusty can of compressed air, or hoover.

In an act to save all the 60GB plebs, a kid shows us how to achieve the same results.  The method he demonstrates is not going to free your PS3 of dust; it’s going to kill it like a baby goat to the slaughter house. Read more…

by David Osbon on April 9, 2008

littlebigplanet_021alphastage-copy.jpg

If you’ve had your head in the sand, or something far worse, for the last year or so, then the words LittleBigPlanet may not mean a thing to you. If this is true, then maybe I can explain and get you excited about it reaching the Alpha stage of development. Read more…

PS3/360 Cry Engine 2 to Look Near High Settings on PC

by Patrick Steen on April 7, 2008

crysis_05-consoleenginecopy.jpg

It almost sounds too good to be true. Almost? It is too good to be true. Could Cry Engine 2 on consoles really look any where near as good as Crysis on the PC? Crytek’s Engine Business Manager, Harald Seeley, states that they expect the console versions to “look like they’re running at high settings, or nearly high settings, on a PC.” *Shock.* Read more…

HAZE: Final Words on PS3 Exclusivity

by Patrick Steen on April 7, 2008

rob-yescombe-copy.jpg HAZE Script Writer Rob Yescombe

It’s hard to put exclusivity disputes to rest. What’s worrying is that there are disputes - anger and seriousness over the possibility of losing a game to the “competition.” There’s been buzz around Metal Gear Solid 4, Bioshock, and most certainly HAZE.

Free Radical’s script writer, Rob Yescombe, attempts to put the bickering to rest in this interview we held at Sony’s Playstation 3 Rooms. Read more…

Microsoft Owns Patent for In-Game Custom Soundtracks

by Patrick Steen on March 31, 2008

ps3-am-cry.jpg
Playstation 3 Am Cry?

One of the most wanted features missing from the Playstation 3 is the ability to use a custom soundtrack during gameplay. Movement has been made in this area with some games beginning to offer support, notably Super Stardust HD and High Velocity Bowling, but it’s yet to be offered for all games.

Though many expect the inclusion to come when Sony supports an in-game version of Playstation 3’s cross media bar, the implementation of this feature might just stay with the developers, since Microsoft owns a patent for this very functionality. Read more…
