Future Soldier Is Now "Officially" Confirmed For Sony's Home Console Beast.

Despite being announced on XBOX Live this morning, with no real platforms announced, we kind of assumed Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier would come to the Playstation 3. Ubisoft has just confirmed exactly that via Twitter, announcing the game will launch day and date with the 360 version.

So there you have it. The HD twins prevail once again.

Expect Something Like This On A Playstation Near You.

EA has really dropped a bomb of information at the moment. We don’t know if we can keep up. The latest little snippet? Spore is coming to consoles in Q1 2011. There are no real details on the console versions yet.

The announcement comes after The Sims 3 was confirmed for consoles this Holiday.

There are a ton of other tentative EA release dates through here, too.

EA's Announced It's Release Schedule For The Next 12 Months.

EA dropped some big names at their financial call last night, detailing the planned release windows for a host of killer franchises over the next 12 months or so.

Amongst the big Summer titles, EA’s announced that their big, futuristic reboot Medal Of Honor is due between July and September 2010. That means you can expect a huge push at this year’s E3.

Medal Of Honor will be followed by another huge EA shooter, as Crysis 2 is due to release in the October-December window, alongside a new entry in the Need For Speed franchise, presumably the one being handled by Burnout developers Criterion.

And if that wasn’t exciting enough, EA’s detailed that Dead Space 2 will launch in Q1 of 2011 alongside a slew of unconfirmed titles, including a new Dragon Age title, a Shooter from Epic, and an unconfirmed Need For Speed title. We’re thinking Need For Speed Shift 2.

Phew. So you can basically assume that even if you just buy EA games over the next 12 months, you’re going to be broke. There’s a lot of cool stuff there.

What are you most excited for?

The Sims Are Coming To Playstation, Yo.

EA’s announced that the Playstation version of The Sims 3 is due to release this Christmas. No specific SKUs were mentioned, but we expect the game will launch on the Playstation 3 and possibly Playstation Portable.

The Sims 3 launched on PC last June.

Eeee, Dead Space: Extraction Could Be Coming To The PSN.

Kotaku are reporting this morning that two more entries in the Dead Space franchise are headed to the Playstation Network. Most interestingly so, one rumoured title is Dead Space: Extraction, last year’s Wii shooter that sold all of five copies worldwide.

A survey forwarded to the video games blog hints at the same “guided first-person experience” that hit the Wii, but in “full HD”, with a tentative price of $15. The survey received by Kotaku seems to be aimed at gauging interest for the products, so allow us to be the first to respond: YES PLEASE.

A second Dead Space product is hinted by the survey too. Entitled Planet Cracker, it’s described as a “resource strategy game where players will manage a CEC Mining operation”. Apparently, in-game achievements will allow you to fatten up your resources in the full version of Dead Space 2 when it launches.

Awesome. Properly awesome.

EA Sports Active: Apparently Much Better Than It Looks.

It’s pretty much official at this point: EA Sports Active is heading to the Playstation 3. Speaking at a financial call last night, EA’s John Schappert confirmed that the Wii exclusive is heading to “multiple platforms.” Careful use of words there John, but we’re totally going to assume you mean “Playstation 3″. Yes.

See you at E3.

Michael Pachter Reckons Playstation 3's January Sales Will Be Up Big Time YoY.

Everyone’s favourite video games analyst Michael Pachter has come away from the glitz of his GameTrailers TV spot to talk hardware sales, and most importantly the Playstation 3’s performance this January. Pachter reckons it’s looking pretty good.

In his pre-NPD report, the analyst cited that he reckons the PS3 will be up 62 percent over January 2009, scoring approximately 330k console sales for the month. According to Pachter, that’ll put it within touching distance of the XBOX 360, which he reckons will score 340k sales for the month.

The NPD report is due this Thursday.
