Moving in a new direction

Subtract the upcoming God of War: Ascension and The Last of Us from the equation, and 2012 is looking like PS3’s most mainstream year yet. Sure, the likes of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale have crossover appeal (they are evidently designed with nostalgia in mind) but

Back of the net

Those of you paying attention back in March will recall us getting hot and sweaty over Grip Games’ upcoming PS3 and Vita table football simulator, Foosball 2012. The cross-platform party title is packed with features included PlayStation Move support and online play. In order to build hype for the game’s impending release, Grip...

Medievil

Outstanding controls and engaging audio are all well and good, but what is the point of them without creatures to kill? Ahead of next week’s launch, Sony has released the final entry in its Sorcery developer diary, focusing on the design of the foes from the final game. Like the audio, the enemy design is based upon Celtic and Northern...

Euphoria

There’s really not much to add to this article beyond what’s already included in the delightfully descriptive headline. Embedded below you’ll find the launch trailer for PixelJunk 4am, which is due for release on the PlayStation Network this week. The trailer shows Japanese musician and PixelJunk collaborator Baiyon looking serious as...

Deja vu?

Now the English Premier League has ended, EA Sports has kicked off the information offensive for FIFA 13, coming to PS3 and PS Vita later this year. The publisher revealed new features it believes will change football games. Again. First up is the new artificial intelligence system, which EA says is its "most sophisticated" AI...

Whimsical

Audio is one of the most underrated aspects of video games. When done well it's able to shape your mood, but, conversely, when poor it really sticks out. Thankfully, we don’t think Sony’s upcoming magical Move-powered adventure Sorcery will suffer from that problem because, based on the evidence of this brand new behind the scenes...

Once upon a time

While it’s unlikely you’ll be purchasing the upcoming Move powered Sorcery for its narrative, plot does appear to be a big part of the motion controlled game. The title explores the adventure of Finn, a young sorcerer who must master the arcane arts in order to save his home world. There’s actually a lot more back story to...

Building a motion masterpiece

Sony’s conjured up a brand new trailer looking at the development of upcoming Move adventure Sorcery. The footage delves behind the scenes at developer The Workshop, and discusses why the Move is pivotal to the title's experience and how the implementation differs from alternative motion controlled games. There’s...

Hit the waves

Rising Star Games has attached a 25th May European release date to its upcoming PS3 exclusive farming simulator, Rune Factory Oceans (also known as Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny). The agricultural RPG – which launched in North America and Japan last year – challenges you to run a farm, while also adventuring the high seas in...

Innovation you can't afford

We still don’t know much about Plastic’s upcoming PSN adventure Datura, but that’s not stopped the Polish developer from concocting an extravagant virtual reality set up to show off its game. The expensive demo is built around Sony’s recently released HMZ-T1 personal projector, and uses a second PlayStation Move...

Fresh blood

There may well be life after thatgamecompany after all. Sony has announced that it has signed a three game exclusivity partnership with Giant Sparrow, starting with The Unfinished Swan. The developer is currently set-up inside Sony’s ubiquitous Santa Monica studio, which is responsible for a dizzying number of PS3 titles at the moment...

Painted poetry

Giant Sparrow’s beautifully abstract PSN title The Unfinished Swan will include optional PlayStation Move motion controls, it has been confirmed. The title – which is set to be announced at some point next week – sees you tossing streams of paint from a first-person perspective in order to reveal the otherwise invisible world...

Reaching out

Plastic’s released a brand new trailer for its intriguing Move powered interpretative adventure title, Datura. The ambiguous short highlights the variety players can expect from the motion enhanced game, including a driving section and a World War-esque shooting range. These kind of off-the-wall interactive experiences are amongst our...

Turn it up

PlayStation Plus subscribers will find a nice surprise tucked away under the premium compartment of the PlayStation Store this evening. Developer Q-Games has released the public beta for its brilliant Move powered music endeavour, PixelJunk 4am. The trial appears to be exclusive to European users at the moment, with North America set to...

For shame

What do you get when you combine PlayStation Move, tiny monkeys and stripping? Dancing Eyes is the answer — or, at least, it was. Famitsu (via Andriasang) reports the game is now cancelled and won't see the light of day. Namco Bandai hasn't given any reason for the cancellation, but we imagine it's something to do with the tiny monkeys...

Midnight fever

Q-Games’ stellar looking Move powered music tool PixelJunk 4am is set to release on the PlayStation Network on 15th May. It’ll launch alongside a free application allowing you to tune into other players’ live performances. The final game will feature five songs comprising four different tracks: drums, bass, rhythm and synth...

Out in May

Time to pick up that Move controller again — Sony's launching Datura on 9th May. The Move-exclusive action adventure is joint venture between Sony Santa Monica and Polish developer Plastic. It's billed as a "unique, interactive art experience", so don't expect God of War Move, but we're always up for unique and interactive art...

Reinventing the wheel

Sony hasn't released quite as many plastic add-ons for the Move controller as some may have expected, but according to a patent found by PlayStation Lifestyle it could yet release a very versatile-looking plastic shell. The patent shows a plastic housing into which the Move controller would slot, but with handles and face...

Gold standard

Fans of broken controllers and Jessica Ennis will be excited to learn that SEGA’s attached a 29th June release date to its upcoming tournament tie-in London 2012. The game will feature 45 Olympic events including cycling, diving and more. Some of the events – such as the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol – will feature PlayStation Move...
