A picture says a thousand words or in this case just nine “more carp I have to find a home for” that’s right by the look of things you Rock Band instrument set is about to expand with the inclusion of not only more microphones but also a keyboard, now to be honest it would not have taken a genies to figure out that some thing like more vocals and more instruments would be added in the next title update but where do they expect you to house all this and what on earth are we going to see next time maybe a sax for a bit of ska ?
The official Playstion Magazine in Portugal are teasing at the announcement of a sequel to the PS3 exclusive open-world action title inFamous in there next issue. On the back of the magazine is a picture of what looks to be the main character Cole MacGarth with “The announcement of a great PlayStation 3 exclusive sequel in the next ROPS” written underneath if.
To be honest a sequel to inFamous is no real surprise with the several online job listings for such a title and a couple of domain names being snapped up over the last few months it really did just seem like an inevitability.
It would seem that Sony are planning on upgrading even more PS2 game to PS3 standard’s, after the success they had with the God of War Collection that contained high-def upgrades of the first two God of War games was well as some PS3 Trophies thrown in there all on one Blu-ray disc Sony have sent out an e-mail to “selected customers” asking them what if any games they would like see have the same treatment.
To be honest with you this a grey area for us as on one hand we would love to play though some top PS2 titles again with fancy high-def graphic and even the chance to earn some Trophies and produce some much needed revenue for Sony, yet on the other hand it kind of feels like a slap in the PS2’s face just like Lucas did to ever Star Wars fan with the jazzed up re-release of the trilogy. What do you think about it, let us know in the comments below.
Nintendo have revelled to us that they plan on shipping Pokemon Black and White in North America and Europe in Spring 2011, to accompany the announcement they also release the first details of the games signature creatures. Reshiram (Pokémon Black Version) and Zekrom (Pokémon White Version) are both Dragon type legendary Pokemon and are also set to be the box art for the respected versions, they also went on to hint at the fact that this time around the games will differ from one and other more then just having version exclusive Pokemon which lets be fare with the new GTS system in the games is longer a selling point.
Laurent Fischer, Managing Director Marketing and PR, Nintendo of Europe:
“It's rare to find a franchise with such worldwide appeal and dedicated fans as Pokémon”
“We're excited to inform our fans that this eagerly anticipated adventure, featuring an all-new generation of Pokémon, will be available in Europe in spring 2011”
So Spring 2011 it is then and as we already know that the game will include 3D graphics to play on the Nintendo 3Ds (or what ever they end up calling it) it’s a pretty safe bet that it will be out around that time as well, if not before.
Mark Lamia, the head of Treyarch, has announced today that the company is now 100% focused on creating nothing but Call of Duty games.
"Treyarch is a 100 per cent Call of Duty studio - and it has been for a long time now, long before any of the [Infinity Ward] events occurred," said Lamia.
"We focused all of our efforts on creating the best Call of Duty game we possibly can and what that meant is not working on anything else. We are a multiple team studio and focusing on Call of Duty and Call of Duty gameplay meant focusing all of our teams on that."
Treyarch has previously developed James Bond and Spider-Man games, which honestly weren’t very good. So is it a good idea to have the whole team at Treyarch working together on one series? Let us know what you think in the comments.
We haven’t seen or heard any new information about Beyond Good & Evil 2 since a teaser trailer was released way back in 2008, and it looks like nothing new will ever bee shown.
That’s because the creator of both Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil, Michel Ancel has been rumoured to haft left Ubisoft following disputes between him and the company regarding the development (or lack thereof) of Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Ubisoft have yet to confirm or deny this rumour, but if we were the betting type we’d say that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is dead in the water. Shame.
