“Project Trico”, the rumoured codename for the rumoured latest project by Team Ico, has been shown off during Sony’s E3 press conference, along with its new name. It’ll be known by the far more respectable title of “The Last Guardian”. While the footage shown to attendees at the conference was similar to that in the…
Sony were right to point out that God of War III was only due this fiscal year, not calendar year, as the game has now been given an official release time frame. And it’s March 2010. Which will no doubt disappoint God of War fans hoping for some Yuletide carnage on the PS3, but then,…
While it’s been a bit of a running joke since the launch of the PSP all the way back in 2004, Gran Turismo for the PlayStation Portable is real. And it’ll be out this October. SPeaking during Sony’s E3 press conference today, series creator Kaz Yamauchi announced that the game – which will feature 35…
We knew it was coming. Like, really knew. But still, there’s a formality to these proceedings, and that formality requires Sony to officially announce the new PSP at their E3 press conference. All the earlier details hold true – so it’s slide-out, there’s 16GB of flash memory, etc – with the only real new stuff…
Nintendo will be teaming up with the remains of Tecmo’s Team Ninja to bring us an all-new Metroid title for the Wii: Metroid Other M. Due in 2010, the game looks a blend of first and third-person gameplay (clip showed much more third than first-person), with shooting sequences mixed with old-fashioned Metroid platforming. The game…
Nintendo saved their biggest announcement for last at this morning’s E3 press conference, unveiling the first full sequel to a 3D Mario game on the same system: Mario Galaxy 2. From the trailer on show, it appears to be the same deal as the first game. Planetoids you run around, 3D puzzles, unique mechanics on…
We got into Nintendo’s E3 press conference at 7:30am. It doesn’t start until 9:00am. To kill the time, then, Nintendo are throwing up Nintendo-related trivia on the main displays. How many can you get right?
Microsoft’s E309 press conference was, all things considered, just about everything people clamouring for a return to the “old” E3 could hope for. Question is: can Nintendo & Sony do any better? There’s only one way to find out. And that’s to report back here for liveblogs of both major events, starting with Nintendo’s at…
Mass Effect 2 is breaking cover significantly for the first time this week, with an extended trailer during EA’s press conference, and some new screens to go along with it.
One of the few highlights of Ubisoft’s E3 press conference was an extended look at Assassin’s Creed 2‘s cinematics. That and the game’s release date. The game will be out on November 17, late enough to be fresh in everyone’s mind come “GOTY” awards, early enough to still sell a few million come Christmas time.
Tim Schafer is showing off Brutal Legend at EA’s E3 press conference, and just announced that the last old-timey metal legend not in the game – Ozzy – is going to be in the game. To go with that announcement, creator Tim Schafer said that star Jack Black has done a whopping 26,000 lines of…
EA have a lot of “partners”, developers with whom they share a close, special relationship. Like id. And Valve. And Grasshopper, and Epic. Now, welcome the latest EA partner: APB developers Realtime Worlds. Yes, the team behind 360 exclusive Crackdown – and helmed by GTA creator David Jones – have signed a deal with EA,…
BioWare and Lucasart’s Star Wars: Old Republic MMO is going to be the world’s first large-scale massively multiplayer game to be all talk. As in, no text messages whatsoever. The amount of voice acting work that’s going to require must be absolutely mind-blowing. And it also raises a few issues. Like, how can you personalise…
Whew. We’ve just dashed from Microsoft’s hectic E3 presser to EA’s, at the “historic” Orpheum in downtown LA. Shall we see what’s on offer? Shall we? 12:59 – Waiting outside on a surprisingly pleasant day here in LA. Looks like we’re about to head in… 13:39 – Yeah, about o head in, 40 minutes ago.…
Hideo Kojima has just popped up at Microsoft’s keynote, and announced that the Metal Gear Solid franchise is coming to Xbox 360 with an all-new title. This game is called Metal Gear Solid Rising, is a completely-new title, and rather than starring Solid Snake, will star Raiden. Now, importantly, he didn’t mention the word “exclusive”.…
Bungie today, as expected, announced a new Halo title: Halo Reach. It’s due for release in Fall 2010. I’d love to tell you more, but that’s all that was revealed along with a short trailer showing the destruction of Reach, from before the events of the original Halo. As a bonus for anyone buying Halo:…
Microsoft just showed off a bunch of trailers. Some for all-new games! Like Crackdown 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. Crackdown 2 seems to take a different approach than the first, with the city infected with some kind of plague that’s turning people into zombies/monsters. You, naturally, have to kill them. Left 4 Dead 2…
Square Enix just announced that Final Fantasy XIII will be out on Xbox 360 in North America during “Spring 2010”. Note that’s a hopeful date, not a firm one. 2010 is a while away, and hey, this is Final Fantasy. But still! That’s a whole season you can circle in your reddest red pen.
The onset of June should be greeted a little more warmly than usual this year, as Sony have announced that both Fat Princess and a Ghostbusters demo will be out in Europe later this month. Of course, if they’re out in Europe this month, they should be out everywhere else, too, but just so you…
Having already been revealed earlier this year, Warner Bros. & LEGO have today officially announced LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Not the catchiest title, we know, but it gets its point across, with players given the option of controlling Harry, Ron or Hermione as they work their way through the first four books/movies of the…
