Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
Whether you like the Playstation or not, you cannot deny its impact in the gaming industry. The father of the Playstation, Ken Kutaragi, is retiring at the age of 56. He leaves Kazuo Hirai as President and COO of the Sony Computer Entertainment Division.We’ll miss you! Even though we never met you…
In Spider Man 3: The Game: Based on the Movie: Based on the Sequels: Based on the TV Shows: Based on the Trading Cards: Based on the Comic Books you’ll be able to fight the Lizard! And no this doesn’t sound as cheesy as it looks. Check out the new video in The Pipeline under Xbox 360 Game Videos.
I’ve also added the trailer for the Wii version of the game under Wii Game Videos. If you don’t pee in your pants for this trailer – you’re not a gamer. Using the Wii-mote and the nun-chuck to control webshots looks fantastic!
NAMCO BANDAI announced today that The King of All Cosmos, everyone’s favorite pint-sized Prince, and the whole wacky and wild Katamari crew will be making their hilarious next generation debut in Beautiful Katamari for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft later this year. The newest installment in the insanely popular and highly captivating Katamari series will be rolling into the next generation world with Katamari-style quirky and unique high-definition graphics, an unforgettable new soundtrack, and a new online multiplayer feature that will have old and new players alike spinning when the title hits store shelves.
Experience the new high-definition, next generation sights and sounds of Beautiful Katamari as the Prince takes on a new high-rolling adventure, with his famous cousins in tow, to save the Katamari universe once again after the King of All Cosmos has a very un-royal and unfortunate accident. As usual, the King of All Cosmos demands the service of his son, the Prince, to roll anything and everything up into massive clumps and set things right, bringing harmony once again to the Katamari Cosmos.
Take the Prince for a spin in astounding 720p next-gen graphics, that stay true to the quirky yet captivating art direction the series is known for, but glistening with a new coat of paint in high-definition, as the Prince is tasked to roll up bizarre objects in brand new environments. To keep his son inspired, the King of All Cosmos will provide another fresh and memorable soundtrack that will have players moving and grooving to the beat as they roll through the absurd, yet wonderful world of Beautiful Katamari.
One is a lonely number, but thankfully the Prince can humbly ask the aid of over 50 of his cousins to get the ball rolling through his quest. The cousins have discovered new games to play since last time out, and love to compete with friends in multiplayer Katamari rolling games either together or online over Xbox Live and the PLAYSTATION Network. The Prince and his cousins’ online adventure won’t end there as a variety of future downloadable content will become available, continuing to expand on the amazing world of Beautiful Katamari, long after the game has launched. More online features will be rolled out at a later date.
Today Capcom held their annual Gamer day in San Francisco. As usual they took the time to announce several titles for the upcoming year, along with other big announcements. Amongst the announcements was Lost Planet going to the PC, a Harvey Birdman game for the PSP, and the official announcement of the third Gyakuten Saiban game(AKA Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) being released in america under the title Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney- Trials and Tribulation.
Much more was announced, but I gotta say these Attorney games are what really caught my attention. I loved the original Phoenix Wright, along with the sequel, and Harvey Birdman’s just beyond awesome. I just hope that Harvey Birdman ends up being a more adult Phoenix Wright instead of some boring Platformer or something of that nature.
A few more big announcements from Gamer Day 2007.
SonyStyle has removed the 20 gigabyte PS3 model from its website. Why would Sony bother doing this though?
Sony is most likely working on a new higher end model. Next-Gen.biz discovered a US Federal Communications Commissions report that says an 80 gigabyte model is in the works.
With the new Xbox 360 Elite model coming out soon at 120 gigabytes – why would Sony bother with a mere 80 gigs? Is Sony simply trying to cut costs on the amount of money that they lose with the PS3? With the already high price of $599 Sony can’t afford to make the PS3 even more of a luxury item.
And play the bass. And the drums. And oh yeah, you can sing now, too. By now, anyone who is anyone should have learned that the newest game from the Guitar Hero makers, Harmonix, is going to be Rock Band and will include playing the guitar, the bass, the drums, and singing. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Hopefully you won’t have to pay an arm and a leg for all of the peripherals but considering that these are the guys that brought us Guitar Hero, I think they will find a way.
