Continuing their new monthly feature and with details not available anywhere else, PS3 Attitude will reveal the top current rentals and most wanted future titles as a thermometer for what's hot in the PS3 world. news Feb 5, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-106629.aspx Posted on Surfer girl blog - 31 of January 2008 Surfer Girl:1) Facebreaker is the successor to Fight Night (it did start as a Fight Night Round 4/Fight Night 08, but evolved into something more unique), but do not fear as it is does not disregard the strong gameplay of its predecessor. Unlike the terrible Prizefighter, all people who have made significant contributions to Facebreaker are actually getting paid and are credited. 2) Resistance 2 trailer next month (you are probably reading this in February, so later this month), as well seeing the game (which looks amazing) in action in non-trailer form. 3) Epicenter Studios is working on a WiiWare title for release later this year. news Feb 1, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-81016.aspx In between bouts of comforting our Chicago correspondent Mark Wilson over the loss of EA's Chicago studios, we've been pondering the fate of the franchise that said studio brought to life over the years. Now an inside source has spoken with a member of our staff who is SUPPOSED TO BE ON VACATION, letting him know that the Fight Night franchise at least will find a new home with EA Vancouver. Nothing yet on the fate of the Marvel fighting game or the Def Jam franchise, but perhaps they'll be taking the journey north along with their pugilistic cousin. More on the continuing saga as it unfolds. news Nov 7, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/fight-night-round-3/screenshots/g-20060224184014852010 screenshot Jun 14, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/fight-night-round-3/screenshots/g-20060224184014852010 screenshot Jun 14, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/fight-night-round-3/screenshots/g-20060224184014852010 screenshot Jun 14, 2007 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/f/make-em-bleed-in-fight-night-round-3/a-2007061413235433019/g-20060224184014852010 We show you how to pound your opponent into a bloody mess feature Jun 14, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/ps3/News-34450.aspx Electronic Arts Inc. has reached an agreement with The9 Ltd. to buy a 19 percent stake in the Chinese online game operator for about $200 million, a local newspaper said on Saturday.

Especially for gamers who put graphics before gameplay, bagging an award for a game's Visual Effects is a sure shot of peaking their interest for a game. news Feb 13, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-20815.aspx Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced that PLAYSTATION®3 will be launched in the PAL territories including the United Kingdom on 23rd March 2007 at a price of £425. news Jan 25, 2007 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-17759.aspx Here is the ol Gamefly Top 10 most requested list. Xbox 360 rentals clearly are dominating the overall cross-platform chart at this point, while the Nintendo Wii and PS3 owners wait patiently for Santa (and additional launch allocations)... Lost Planet takes the top spot for Xbox 360, Trauma Center: Second Opinion for the Nintendo Wii, and the PS3 early adopters are giving Fight Night Round 3 a shot. news Dec 14, 2006 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-17300.aspx Recently Glenn Entis, Vice President and Chief Visual Officer at Electronic Arts discussed his feelings about the PlayStation 3 console. When asked, how do the PS3 and Xbox 360 match up? Glenn responded: The whole industry knows it's been a challenge; the PS3's a very complex piece of equipment. On one hand it's a challenge, on the other hand there's tremendous potential in that box. I think it's going to take developers a little while to figure out how to unlock that power. We've got games coming out now where we feel we've hit maybe 20 per cent of the potential of PlayStation 3. We know the power's there, but like any new platform it's going to take us a little bit of time to unleash it. Was it more complex than we were expecting? Yes, probably; there were some challenges that we didn't expect. We've got tremendous confidence long-term that it's going to be a phenomenal games machine. So to find that EA has only tapped into 20% of the PS3's power, you look at games like Fight Night Round 3 with amazing graphics and realistic facial animations, it makes you wonder what the PS3 will have in store for us in the future. Like Glenn said,...We know the power's there, but like any new platform it's going to take us a little bit of time to unleash it. news Dec 9, 2006 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-16967.aspx Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that EA SPORTS Fight Night Round 3 for the Playstation 3 has shipped to retail stores nationwide.

Basically in first person the screen will get bloody and blurry as you take more punches to the head making things even more realistic than before. news Nov 10, 2006 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-12943.aspx If you'll recall, Microsoft had high hopes that Sony's first-generation games would look cruddy. Sony had given so little time to developers to work with the development kits that, the theory went, developers would not have enough time to make games. One developer I spoke with said that developing for the PS 3 is harder than for the Xbox 360. He said that everything came in late and many companies had harsh deadlines. Electronic Arts had nine months to do Fight Night Round 3 for the PS 3. The companies that are repurposing Xbox 360 games are having an easier time getting done for launch. But the evidence we saw this week shows that the PS 3 games are looking good, even for first-generation games. Julian Eggebrecht, head of former Nintendo developer Factor 5, says that Sony really came through with the development kits. Kaz Hirai noted there are 10,000 dev kits seeded among developers now. By and large, the games I saw looked BETTER than Xbox 360 games. Not all were great. Not all were demonstrably better. Not all are worth the price difference of the consoles. But the developers seem to be doing well. Now we'll see how many of these 21 titles in the launch window actually show up for launch. news Oct 23, 2006 http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/fight-night-round-3/preview/fight-night-round-3-ps3-hands-on/a-2006101921316627005/g-20060224184014852010 We lace 'em up with the new heavyweight champ preview Oct 20, 2006 http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-12668.aspx Electronic Arts today announced more than 30 games in development for the PLAYSTATION 3.
