2 new PS3 titles revealed, one with no platform!
Posted: Aug 31 2008, 09:52 PM Forum Act II: Video Game Station View full topic
The first is called Sky Gods and is a PSN title that runs on the Unreal 3 Engine. Second is either Blue Shift or Epoch Wars from Seed Studios. Seed Studios is the new formation of the company that made Okami. http://thatgamingsite.com/2008/08/2-new-ps3-exclusives/ Ok, not much info, but it sounds promising. The Unreal 3 Engine is high quality and Seed is an impressive studio. I'll be keeping my eye on all three of these.

Kind of an old article, but everyone's eagerly waiting for these updates GT5P will be getting this autumn. This article just mentions the damage though... Quote: It may have taken more than a little time for Polyphony to warm to the idea, but Gran Turismo head Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that the series is finally going to be implementing damage, saying it could be included as a downloadable feature for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue as early as this Autumn. In an interview with IGN earlier today, Yamauchi said that, "maybe by Fall we'll be able to implement it," before confirming that it would feature as a download for Prologue, which launched in the UK and across Europe last week. Gran Turismo has long been famed for its refusal to include any vehicle deformation, despite heightening demands from its fan-base, and any inclusion of the feature would be a massive boon for the series.

You seriously have never heard of Kingdom Hearts? It's that RPG game with disney characters in it.

Hmmm, I've never played a Kingdom Hearts game, but I have heard many great things about it. I think I'll get Birth By Sleep when it comes out for PSP. Anyway here's something interesting for you KH fans about Kingdom Hearts 3. Official Playstation Magazine OPM Issue 23 reached subscribers yesterday and the issue contained 2 world exclusive reviews of Mercenaries 2 and Fifa 09, both god 7/10 and 9/10 respectfully. But there was an intersting part in the issue which may raise a couple of eyebrows come TGS time including ours. Hit the jump to find out what it is. In it’s rumor section, it mentions the fact that Kingdom Hearts III is in development for the PS3 and will be at TGS. The exact quote being. “Kingdom Hearts III is currently in development as a PS3 exclusive and will be announced at TGS.” This backs up the rumor that GOONL!NE posted only nearly a month ago statin that KH3 would be unveiled as early as the DKΣ3713 earlier in the month (Which didnt happen) to as late as TGS which is plausable now considering the OPM rumor. We can only hope that it is true.

Jak n' Daxter topic

You must play non stop for hours. lol Anyway I would put Jak above Crash in terms of status now. Crash has only been out longer than Jak, but Jak has way more fans that Crash now and on PS2 Jak games owned Crash games 1000%... I'm looking forward to a new Naughty Dog game whether it be Jak or Uncharted. I wonder if they'll stop being quiet and show their work at the Tokyo Game Show?

That is one case there have been different suits against Blu Ray, and I also mentioned the layer thing. I may have been false about the 1930 date, but I know it was way before they had that technology or something... Anyhow, I didn't say the big companies were guilt free. They should probably do more patent research when making new technology, however the little companies are despicable and I think they should be destroyed. Little money grubbing punks waiting until their technology is widespread to make all the money they can. Just sue when they start infringing on your patent and let them create different technology with the same result... :mad:

Wow, that sucks... But here in America there are two companies for internet service. AT&T or Comcast. There are different mobile phone companies, but landline/DSL/Cable is bascially just two main ones that both rip you off.

It certainly doesn't take 10 years like that Immersion case or else you would have seen it in the news of them filing a case years ago. They filed the case nearly 10 years after Sony created the Dual Shock. Not went to court, FILED, so they waited that long... These people aren't legitimate, they are in it for the money, they don't care if they used their technology. Like that one about Blu Ray... The patent was filed in 1930(before any such technology came out) that anything emitting blue light, or something like that, was theirs... It was complete bull, and I think they lost.

I say sue them when they infringe on your patents, don't wait 5-10 years before you suddenly realize something. Plus a lot of these companies just patent technology and never use it, they just beat people to the punch so when it is made, they can sue. Sometimes(like the blu lazer diode in the Blu Ray/HD-DVD) these patents are so vague that they can sue for anything that remotely falls into the description, even if that is nothing related to what they patented. Why should these small companies get away with frivolous law suits?

BlizShadow Aug 31 2008, 09:36 AM Nintendo has been accused of stealing so many patents that I now consider it a mandatory business practice. However, finally getting caught with their pants down isn't going to stop Wii production; no sensible judge would ever do that. Nintendo's just going to pay the people a large sum of money like every other thieving corporation does and that will be the end of it. All these companies do is sue big companies when they are successful... Just like Immersion suing Microsoft and Sony for rumble technology. Now I hear Sony is getting Sued for Blu Ray, because it infringes on a patent and the small company says using multiple layers on a disc is their technology... Well DVDs have been using dual layers for years, but they didn't sue DVD companies. Plus Sony isn't the owner of Blu Ray anyway... Idiots!!

BelovedDoll Aug 31 2008, 07:09 AM has a PS3 None of those games interest me. I can`t find any games for the PS3 that catches my attention in the least bit. x.x I only have the Sonic 06 games for it (and hopefully Sonic Unleashed when that comes out). It`s a lonely PS3... You must not like many games then. What games do interest you?!

Resistance 2 SE Box Art winner!!

The box art itself still hasn’t been shown on Amazon (but it should come soon, as the IGN voting for the boxart earlier this week is already over for the US). The one above is simply of the three candidates (and the obvious favorite). But until now, we haven’t really known what was going to be the in CE edition of the game. Amazon’s got the lowdown on what will come for your $80. Like a lot of CE versions of games these days, Resistance 2 will come with a bonus disc with behind-the-scenes footage, video commentary from Insomniac themselves, and a video dubbed “Twisted History” chronology video. Of course, there’s more. It also comes with an exclusive multiplayer skin (HVAP Wraith), a double-sided art book ‘covering a war-torn America from two unique perspectives’, and even a sneak peek at the soon-to-happen Resistance novel “The Gathering Storm.” Yeah, they’re doing one too. Finally (yes, there’s STILL more), a 5.5″ figurine of a Chimera Hybrid will come with the package (holding a Bullseye). Preorder? HELL YES. http://gamextract.com/?p=1722

Wow... My favorite sports car got beat. Not to say I don't like the Viper, but I prefer the Corvette. Unbelievable.... A 2009 Dodge Viper ACR has claimed the fastest time ever for a production car around the Nürburgring. The lap of 7:22 is just a few ticks quicker than the 7:26.4 lap set by the 2009 Corvette ZR1. It doesn't come as much of a surprise, since the ACR is the most brutal version of the already-unforgiving Viper, whereas the ZR1 actually drives well on the road. Nonetheless, the Viper ACR is the new unofficial king of the 'Ring. http://jalopnik.com/5042855/2009-dodge-viper-acr-steals-nrburgrin g-record-from-corvette-zr1-laps-in-722

Master Of Darkness Aug 29 2008, 10:32 PM cap Aug 29 2008, 05:38 AM Forza is clearly better, being next gen and everything. I disagree - being next-gen doesn't make it any better, it makes it shinier graphically. One of the better driving games around would be the original Gran Turismo(yep, before they introduced cronic understeer) and that's years old. But you're right, Forza 2 is far superior because it injects the fun factor in extremely large doses, just like the first GT did all those years ago. A great plus point for Forza 2 is its AI - in the first Forza, the rival drivers are just a tad aggressive... it's like playing Forza 2 on XBox Live against a bunch of hyperactive 25 year olf Americans who haven't heard of anything other than Skylines and loads of BHP - in short it's all about power and style, and ramming everyone else off the road. You contradicted yourself there a little bit. Next gen does more than give it shinier graphics, it gives it that AI that you like. I played the original Forza and it was pretty good. #2 was even better, even though I have my gripes with the damage system. I'm waiting to see what Polyphony Digital can do with the PS3. They've only tapped it with prologue, so I can't wait to see the finalized product. I wish they would just make one game(Forza 2/GT5) and just update it with DLC instead of making sequels. Idk... It just seems like a cool idea because GT4 wasn't much different from GT3 and Forza 2 wasn't that much different from Forza 1.

That makes no sense, considering they're all coming out for PS3. How does including multiplatform titles make my topic title incorrect? PS3 owners are still going to buy them... O_o
