Wednesday 18 July 2007 So here we are, drinking weak lager and being fed chocolate cookies by a very persistent waitress at Sony Europe's low-key cocktail reception in Los Angeles. David Reeves, Sony's President has just told the assembled press and hangers-on that, unlike the US, he won't be pulling a fast one and pretending to cut the price of the Euro PS3. Kaz Hirai (who was on the table behind us) has exited out the side door, sharpish. No-one knows where to go next. We're in Venice Beach, ... » Read More

Yesterday, it was Burnout Paradise's ultra-thrilling race prospects.

In it, we finally get to see how fluid and seemingly easy the creation tools really are. And LittleBigPlanet's wonderful brightness has us suddenly feeling refreshed after a day of ... » Read More

Sony's annual E3 press conference opened with what could have been the biggest reveal of the entire show if it hadn't been leaked last week: the new $499 price of the PS3, as well as the introduction of a new $599 model that comes with an 80GB hard drive and a copy of online-enabled dirt racer Motorstorm. This left biggy-wig Jack Tretton (who began the event speaking through his character in the PS3 virtual world Home) to launch right into the publisher's game-centric, four-part ... » Read More

First off, Factor 5, the developers of the forthcoming dragon shooter Lair, has already confirmed that a demo will be coming out for the game "in July", one month before the game's official August 14th release.

Another demo rumored to be making the rounds "very soon" is Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword, featuring a sweet-looking hottie battling all kinds of impossible odds to bring down the man that murdered her father. Theory should be finishing up work on this soon and already promised a demo would be coming as well. So, again, it would be a big part of some kind of online E3 push.

And let's not forget the online betas, either.Word has it that Little Big Planet would be starting up a beta as well. Again, E3 could hold the key to all this and Sony could really give its users something spectacular if it wanted.

A piece of LittleBigPlanet artwork featuring famous game characters sketched in the LBP style has sparked new interest on the Internet today. In fact, the artwork was originally featured in an Edge magazine preview earlier in the year to demonstrate how the player of the game has complete creative control over the design of their character. Technically you could reproduce anything you wanted - as long as you don't mind them having a massive head and tiny arms. As Edge points out in its ... » Read More

Sony Corp., the world's second-largest maker of consumer electronics, said profit will more than double to a record this year on sales of Bravia televisions and narrower losses at the PlayStation game unit.

Net income will rise to 320 billion yen ($2.7 billion) for the year ending March 31, 2008, Tokyo-based Sony said today. Its fiscal fourth-quarter loss widened to the most in four years, after the PlayStation 3 was outsold by Nintendo Co.'s Wii console. The stock rose 1.3 percent in Frankfurt from the Tokyo close.

Reduced game losses would help Chief Executive Officer Howard Stringer meet his promise to raise the company's operating profit to 5 percent of sales this year, on a par with larger rival Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Earnings at Sony will also get a boost from the movie unit, whose ''Spider-Man 3'' generated record box-office sales when it opened this month.

Sony's other surprise this week was the unveiling of a beautiful looking game for the Playstation 3 called LittleBigPlanet by new development team Media Molecule. It's a customisable team action exploration game.

Now the footage definately provided a stunning update to the platform genre. But what I loved most about LittleBigPlanet was the music playing in the background. Upbeat, lively, summerish and very, very hummable! After a big of investigating I found out that it wasn't created for the game but from a UK group I hadn't heard of....The Go! Team.
