There have been rumors on the web that a UK game retailer is only showing PS3 cover art for Sierra's hotly anticipated title Wet and therefore it will no longer be available for the Xbox 360. Today, the Bitbag received an e-mail confirmation from Sierra/Vivendi that Wet will not be a PS3 exclusive title. We put a little more confidence in this response than prior "we can neither confirm or deny" statements we have heard from other publishers in the past.
That's right folks. Wet is a stylised shooter starring a curvaceous lady character called Ruby, a sexy little minx who also happens to be a mercenary gun-for-hire equipped with two (independently shootable) pistols, and is also quite handy with a samurai sword.
Today Midway released a new video trailer and eight screenshots for Wheelman, the highly anticipated open world driving game starring Vin Diesel as an undercover agent and highly-skilled driver who must infiltrate the Barcelona underworld.
Vin Diesel's The Wheelman is screeching onto PC, 360 and PS3 this autumn, and it's the game that Midway believes will help the firm improve its sales performance in Europe.
Shaun Himmerick, executive producer on upcoming open world driving game Wheelman, reckons the game's vehicle melee system is "guaranteed" to be copied in future games.
Deep Shadows today announced that full-fledged support for multi-core processor systems, based on Intel Threading Building Blocks 2.0 (TBB), has been implemented in White Gold: War in Paradise and Precursors.
