Check out some off-camera gameplay footage of Resistance: Retribution for the PSP. I’ve been questionable about the title since its announcement and this footage doesn’t ease any of my concerns. I can’t say for sure if the person playing is utilizing the PS3 connection with the DualShock3, but I can’t imagine these controls will be easy or forgiving on the PSP. Using the analog nub and d-pad for movement and aiming is awkward at best, and this game looks to utilize too much of that control scheme. We’ll see how it goes with further builds as we get closer to launch, though.
There are some lifetime bans that are way too harsh. Johnny Drama getting banned from the Playboy mansion. Some recent tomfoolery has gotten Gizmodo a ban for themselves. I could explain what they did, but its much funnier if you just watch. Let’s just say you won’t see Gizmodo and the guys from Motorola going out for a beer anytime soon. We can’t embed the link, so just click here for first hand footage of what went down. Dick move or good old fashioned ball breakin’? What do you guys think?
CES has come to an end and another great announcement for the PSP fans out there. This is one is much bigger than Skype. PSP will soon have full Divx support via Firmware update 4.o. This means that downloaded movies from PC Store will be playable as well as one transferred from the PS3. There will also be third parties selling movies too soon. This raises the question: Is the PSP the ultimate portable media center? Let us know what you think.
I did not know there was a contest or any kind judging going down, but it turns out there is and famed Wii third party developer Nyko, debuted its wireless nunchuk to much praise. So much, it took home the “Best at CES” from tech giants CNet. Here is what Jai Singh, editor-in-chief of CNET and senior vice president for Content Development, had to say:
“Chosen from hundreds of products at CES, Nyko’s Wireless Nunchuck for Wii demonstrates the creativity, excellence and vision that sets the standard in gaming… The ‘Best of CES’ awards brings together the top consumer electronics that will impact the coming year for consumer electronics”
Anyone who has a Wii cannot wait for this to come out. I don’t know how many times I thought I ripped the two apart while boxing or playing Zelda. The nunchul will take 2 AA batteries for about 30 hrs of play. Expect to see this Q1 2008. Expect a Nunchul charge station, from Nyko I’m sure, soon after.
I’ve been excited about Little Big Planet since the first time it was announced at E3 2007. The game looks like it will provide hours upon hours of creative fun when it’s released later this year. Here’s a demo from the CES floor showing off creating trees in your level. Looks pretty cool and intuitive.
Notice at the end of the video they indicate an open beta will be available for the game, probably this summer. Expect to hear more about Little Big Planet at GDC next month.
Sony’s big secret that the PSP will be Skype compatible was let out early but there was one caveat that we did not see coming. A future firmware update will allow only users with the PSP Slim to obtain the update. No one knows the exact reason, but a future microphone that is to be released to allow voice communcation might not work with the older model. Although I like the idea of firmware updates, alienating a good amount of your users who were loyal to you in the beginning stages of the handheld is a huge, huge, kick to the junk.
It’s a pretty safe assumption that Bill Gates has an ego. If I was worth about 50 billion I would. CES is upon us and forth those of you who don’t know, its basically the largest electronics show there is. Past CES’s have been the spot for many a big announcement as well as the unveiling of some crazy shit. This is the last time that we will see Bill Gates speak at this event and a reasonable mind would have to expect him to drop a huge bomb. The whole HD-DVD thing is sort of a downer and may be a blessing in disguise by finally ending a format war. People are expecting him to make a huge announcement. As an avid Xbox 360 owner, I’m hoping he does.
An astute reader has noticed the following phrase in the Sony PSP Section of the Consumer Electronics Show(CES):
“Call friends, trash talk to fellow gamers or catch up with acquaintances via Skype for PSP system.”
This looks to be in the new firmware update for the PSP. For those of you who do not what skype is, its a communcation service that sort of is like AIM, but you can call landlines with it and also receive calls, for a modest price of course. Its not bad for people who do not have cell phones or want to make international calls, to say a mail order bride in Thailand who happens to have PSP.
Each title was specifically chosen because of its multiplayer capability, allowing players to experience each of these classics with their friends in the comfort of their own living room, or anywhere else through an internet connection. All of the titles will be offered for PLAYSTATION 3 system download exclusively through the PLAYSTATION Network.
I’m very excited about this. It seems like CES is nothing but good news for Sony. More games on the PlayStation Store is definitely a good thing. After playing UMK3 on Xbox 360’s Live Arcade, I’m really excited for MK2. I’ve always thought MK2 was a better game, and with the D-pad on the Sixaxis controller being WAY WAY better than the D-pad on the 360 controller, it should make for a better Mortal Kombat experience.
Now if you could play these games on PS3 and be able to transfer to PSP… Sony would make a mint
