Kombo TGS 2008: Resident Evil 5 Hands-On (Resident Evil 5)

Oct 10, 2008

Kombo:"Everyone's seen the trailers, but nobody knows the control system - until now. Resident Evil 5, the next gem in Capcom's Biohazard franchise, is set in rural Africa and has had people excited for months. The demo had two choices of level and I had the opportunity to play both. They were both fairly similar anyway and like the small towns you see in the trailers. Significantly, you can select which control system you would like to use. I tried both systems, so I can explain the basics of both."

Gran Turismo PSP is coming, says Sony (Gran Turismo 5)

Oct 10, 2008

Eurogamer writes: "Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed Gran Turismo PSP is still in development - even though it's been years since the game was first announced.

When asked where GT PSP has got to, Yoshida said, "Good question! It's in Polyphony Digital, they're working on it."

The reason for the delay, according to Yoshida, is that Polyphony have been busy with other projects. "They have been working on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5 for PS3, so they've had to focus on finishing up Gran Turismo on the PS3 side," he explained. 'That's been making the PSP development a little bit slow.'"

Ubisoft: Players can create art with Far Cry 2 editor (Far Cry 2)

Oct 10, 2008

Speaking to VideoGamer.com, Far Cry 2 Multiplayer producer Richard Gaetan has said that Far Cry 2, along with other games with user-generated features, like the PS3's LittleBigPlanet, is evidence that the industry has reached "Gaming 2.0".

"I'm sure we'll have maps that are not really playable or not fun to play but that will be like pieces of art that are created from our editor," he said. "And we've seen it internally already. We have Montreal Olympic stadium built just from a few hundred blocks, so we'll have The Great Wall of China, the Colosseum from Rome, all stuff like that, alongside a lot of maps that are copies from other games, other shooters."

Retail-Ready 'Little Big Planet' Arrives At MTV, PS3 Is Far Away (LittleBigPlanet)

Oct 10, 2008

Stephen Totilo of MTV Multiplayer writes:

"One of the wonderful trends of this fall for reporters has been the proliferation of games that have been completed and sent out well before their release date.

Usually I can't hope to receive a boxed copy of a new game more than a week prior to it hitting store shelves. But so far I've received "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed," "Fracture," "Dead Space," and, today, October 21's "Little Big Planet" all in their store-ready shrink-wrapped boxes well before their release dates.

I have a few tidbits to share based on the box and the manual, but, first, do I think this fall trend is good because I can brag about having the game before you?"

Gerard Campbell writes:

Day 1, Tokyo Games Show notes.

"Patapon 2 (Sony, PlayStation Portable): I loved the first Patapon game and played it heaps until the UMD got munted and now it's unplayable. So, I'm delighted to tell you that Patapon 2 is more of the same bright, cheerful graphics and catchy "pata-pata-pata-pon" rhythm.

Locoroco 2 (Sony, PSP): The bouncing, singing and smiling blob is back. LocoRoco 2 will feature new levels, "fresh, jolly characters", more than 45 in-game movies that enhance the story, new locoroco and new songs. The game's designer, Tsutomu Kouno, told the presentation that he made the original Locoroco because he "wanted to bring surprises to people all over the world and was so happy that children around the world loved the game".

Infamous (Sucker Punch, PlayStation 3): Infamous is something of a departure for developers Sucker Punch, best known for their cartoon series Sly Cooper. Infamous tells the story of an ordinary man who finds he has super powers after an accident in the city he lives in and the city is overrun by chaos and anarchy. He only has an electricity-based power to start with but as the game progresses he will develop more powers. He can also use a cognitive power to see where enemies have been."

Ubisoft: Far Cry 2 'more fun' than Call of Duty 4 (Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare)

Oct 10, 2008

VideoGamer.com writes: "Ubisoft has bullishly claimed that upcoming open world safari FPS Far Cry 2 is "more fun" than Infinity Ward's phenomenally successful Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."

"I think it's more fun for everybody," said Far Cry 2 multiplayer producer Richard Gaetan. "In Call of Duty 4, the good guys are always the same, they always play the same way. In Far Cry 2 you cannot do that. You have to adapt, you have to change your strategy. And with the map editor you won't be able to learn your maps, because you have so many and if you want to play with your friends and with different people then you have to switch - it will be a bit of a surprise all of the time. So I think it's more fun."
