@hydeks Here's hoping! I also hope it's the Gamecube version!

I'm only interested in Sega releasing Skies of Arcadia Legends "HD".

How were we to know that, Kojima? How were we to know that "Ogre" was a specific character and not some pretentious project title?

Kojima is "transfarring" the timeline of MGS! It will now erase the character of Snake and instead feature Big Boss exclusively as the hero throughout the entire series. This game will be a remake of MG and MG2. The "terrible infants" have been "transfarred" otta here!!!!

Oh dear,..an MGS movie....
Will it feature "transfarring"?
I don't really understand this need to turn videogames into movies.

That's a lot of monotonous work Sammy, thanks.

I would have finally picked up Spelunker HD had it been on sale for non-plus-ers too.

Strange...but interesting.

@get2sammyb Shadow of the Colossus was released pretty much at the end of PS2's life and it was far from overlooked. Potentially being released with PS4 it could be "lost" in the excitement and all the "next-gen" games. Not to mention people "too cool" might snub their noses at a "port" of a last-gen game.

It was, and will always be remembered as having been so. I can see Sony releasing Guardian, but I can't see Sony continuing Team Ico after it's release.

Actually, instead of bad news this may actually mean that Last Guardian is getting very close to finish and doesn't need certain team members anymore. Plus I think we all know that Team Ico isn't going to last past this game. sad but true. Happy note, the game is almost ready!!

Sorry for so many posts.

Features a couple more pieces then allgamesbeta. i'd like to see the samuraii influence dialed back just a little. But otherwise it's just great.

Having played the XIII-2 demo again, all the way through this time, I must confess this.
Would an action/rpg Final Fantasy that played like Call of Duty really be such a bad thing? I mean, towns yes, and places where it could open up and be non-linear, but then add that "non-lineararity" to the linear action set pieces in "dungeons" and combat situations in the overworld.

I want to enjoy FFXIII-2, haven't played XIII. But I've tried, and it's just a very uncomfortable game. You can see areas where there have been sparks of progress and inspiration, but it's not enough...they held back when they needed to push forward.

BTW Sammy, thanks for posting this story and pics.

If it would be Nariko again, or anybody else really, I'd rather they weren't up against the Bohan/Raven King again. the guys in the art should be a new threat.

i certainly want to see Andy Serkis back as someone though, some new character.

Has the PlayStation's role been diminished to just a platform to push tech from other Sony divisions?

If it's just a seperate "channel' so to speak sitting on the xmb somewhere, fine, I guess, but if this is interupting me while sitting on the xmb or while playing games, watching trailers etc. forget it.

So far as I've played this is a great game. Tell you what...we'll let you have this game if you let us have the Arkedo 3, deal?

Me too! That's beautiful artwork and very inspirational for a Heavenly Sword sequel that stars Nariko. Seeing this art makes me say give it to Ninja Theory and let them make something great out of it.

Here is another idea I like for a sequel. SPOILER heavy, of course!http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/928391-heavenly-sword/51961515

This looks fun. I've put it on my list.

See the "up-play" of "Lightning Saga"? And notice the downplay of Fabula Nova Crystallis? Square is dropping that pretentious title, making XIII its own thing with "Lightning Saga", giving Versus some room and distancing it from XIII. Final Fantasy Versus XIII may well yet reappear as Final Fantasy XV, as in "V" for Versus and "V" for ..uh...5...uh..like the 5 in 15..uh yeah, that's it!

Well, that's what you get for selling your soul to EA, Popcap.

Fun game. Played the demo on Xbox live. nice graphics, and the level of tension and ease of control are good. Great idea, turning tower defense on it's head.

One of the best games ever made. I've been waiting, and waiting for the PSN release, and I can hardly wait! Own it for PC, played it, beat it, one of the best gaming experiences I've had.

Yes please! I'd like to see Ryo in DoA 5. Help keep his head above water in the public eye so to speak. He's lately been in the Sega racing games too. hopefully Shenmue 3 will appear soon...on Wii U!

Keiji, if you can't do better then this, if this is what you produce upon exiting Capcom, then I'm not going to stand up for you anymore ragging on the asian game industry. Oh, yes, "imo".

The best part of this update is when Youtube isn't available for Canada! Checked out "Crackle" and it seems more like "Suck". : (

This is great. I'm really looking forward to this game. Loving the trailer, thanks for posting it! This and Tearaway were the stars of Sony's part of GamesCom, imo. I hope Clair de Lune plays through the whole game just to annoy zezhyrule! : )

Rain kinda makes me think this is Sony's take on Lost in Shadow for Wii.

Believe...

Yes, this looks good, and the giant creature in the mist just sold it for me.

Not sure about Puppeteer. Scissors might be fun, but the story/characters don't seem too compelling for me.

Rain on the other hand! Wow! That looks great. Found the trailer on youtube (PC). Are you folks gonna post the trailer soon?

Looks like GamesCom has only Rain and Tearaway for me.

I like the look of the actual environment, but wish it could be used for a better game. horror stuff just isn't my cup.

This looks fun! I'm glad MM can do something other then LBP now. Nice use of Vita tools.

I like how it's not available in Canada!

meh...

@Slapshot Yes, and I really need to finally finish it.

Ian Pickles. That's a fun name!

Unfortuanetly, I have to disagree, in this day and age the inclusion of John Cleese does not guarantee the inclusion of "teh funny". The writing has to be there, and most of the time it isn't.

John Cleese pulling a siilly face may have played till the end of the eighties, but it's just not enough anymore.

: (

Though of course we won't be able to see his face in this game.

I don't care for either series, but the lead character design for bulletstorm was good.

Guess we know why those guys left in such a hurry. Probably didn't want to be "fully owned". People can't fly no more...

I wish EPIC would produce something I'd enjoy, besides Shadow Complex,...I think I might enjoy Infinity Blade too, but once again that's ChAIR isn`t it.

Cryengine 3 looks okay....I guess. : )

6 millions? And several motorstorm servers down? Including Pacific Rift. And Sony still won't budge on the price for the two race dlc packs for Pacific Rift.

Aren't these guys sick and tired of making Gran Turismo games? I wonder if it's slave labour...

Does anyone remember the "indie" title coming to PSN that has almost the same concept as Closure? U.S. PSN previewed it briefly long ago, and I can't find the video anymore.
Something about moving "sources" to progress, now was it "sources' of light or shadow..I can't recall.

I bought Joe Danger, it's fun, but I've hardly played it. This one looks quite good too, though! I'm glad Hello Games has learned it's lesson about monkeys!

@Sammy "We've still got a hunch that the title will re-emerge on PlayStation 4."

Aaarrrggh!! Stop saying that!! : )
One of the main reasons I bought a PS3 was for this game. I don't want to buy another system to play it!

btw Sammy I commented on your comment on my comment in the Arkedo article. Thanks for helping me clarify that.

@get2sammyb Yup, they (Jump!, Swap!, Pixel!) have not yet been released in North America.

You are right, I watched the promotional video again, and they can't be "minis" because Yan Marchal says they have Trophy support.
I guess I assumed they would be "minis", because Pix N' Love Rush was a minis, they are small games ("indies" on xbox), and the price was so low for each game. So anyway, SCEA still blocked their release until they could be bundled. I just hope they are bundled soon!

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/04/arkedo-series-jumps-from-xblig-to-psn/

One sided contracts/deals, and double-crosses aside, I'm glad Nintendo and Sony stayed seperate.

I like that white Playstation/SFC prototype.

A good read. Includes some details I hadn't read about before.

I think Arkedo is imaginative and fun, but this isn't compelling.

Why does this get a NA release so quick when, the Arkedo 3 minis still aren't released.
You know I wrote to Arkedo, and Sanuk Games and they both confirmed that SCEA did in fact block the release of these minis, saying they wanted them bundled. by the time this came around Sanuk was already onto other projects. Sanuk did say that when they get a free moment or two they will attempt to bundle said minis and try for a NA release again. Here's hoping.

What's the point of blocking these minis, Sony? They are supposed to be "minis' aren't they? Oh well, I just want them released.

Why? WHHHYYYYY, did PopCap have to sell out to EA, why?

Here's a comment:

And the world still tries to excuse alcohol when everyone knows it destroys people, destroys families. What point is there to a "drug war" when the worlds number one narcotic goes untouched?

As for the game itself? Looks like it features some fun mechanics. But I'm still tired of the pseudo-voodoo connotations. Every black-skinned character has to be connected to it somehow?

@Sammy Wasn't Super Stardust HD a bite sized indie dream realized?

Yay! This is what I've been waiting for! Peace Walker HD, by itself, as a PSN download for PS3! Though, now that I have what I want, why am I having second thoughts about getting it rather then the disc version?

Yes, PoP 2008 is amazing and beautiful, I'd like more of that.

516MB? "!" Why do trophies and an install option cost so much?
