Personally, I hate the fact that I have to install my games onto my PlayStation 3’s hard dive to play them. But, we have been informed by one of the developers at Naughty Dog that Uncharted 2 does not require an installation on to your PS3, which is exciting news for all the installation haters out there.

Anyway, Christophe Balestra has informed people on his twitter, which is somehow the news hub for all the latest gaming related information, that, “Uncharted 2 does not require any install.” Basically, meaning that you can get right into the action.

Along with this announcement, Balestra also revealed that Naughty Dog will be feature that the upcoming GamesCon event. “Naughty Dog will be at GamesCon. One of our artists, who’s German, will make the trip.”

Activision’s head of state, Bobby Kotick has been on a recent high, saying that Activision may need to “stop supporting Sony” come 2010 or 2011 because “the PlayStation 3 is losing a bit of momentum and [that doesn't] make it easy for [them] to support the platform.” But, that hasn’t seem to faze Sony’s solid stature.

“PlayStation has tremendous momentum coming out of E3, and we are seeing positive growth with more than 350 titles slated to hit across all our platforms, including many anticipated games from our publishing partners,” said Playstation spokesman Patrick Seybold when speaking with Kotaku.

“We enjoy healthy business relationships with and greatly value our publishing partners and are working closely with them to deliver the best entertainment experience.”

Now, the statements made by both sides are very understandable, but like Seybold stated, coming out of E3 Sony has a solid line-up excluding Activision’s upcoming titles. Anyway, lets just hope that Activision doesn’t go ahead with their remark.

FreeStyleGames studio, the developers behind the upcoming DJ Hero title, have been hinting at the possibility all of E3, but the developers over at Neversoft, known for the Guitar Hero series, haven’t put their two cents into the equation, until now.

“We’ve worked with [DJ Hero creator FreeStyleGames], talked to them about the game for a couple of years now, looked at different builds and played it,” GH director Brian Bright told Eurogamer TV. “We would love to integrate in the future.”

However, Bright went on to say that the games release dates did not allow the team to include the option in the latest major Guitar Hero installment.

“Unfortunately for Guitar Hero 5, we ship a few months before they do. [But] we’d love to explore instrument compatibility in the future; we’ll see where it goes.”

In an interview published by the Japanese magazine, Dengeki: PlayStation, Hideo Kojima explained why he took the role of game designer on Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, despite his previous claims that he would play a smaller role in the development of Metal Gear games after Metal Gear Solid 4.

“At first, I was just going to create the overall guidelines and concepts for the project, and leave it in the hands my excellent staff. I was going to have a hand in the project as a producer, and make titles other than MGS. But, I set the game in the South American(sic) country of Costa Rica and created a story with themes about nuclear deterrence and the cold war. It looked as if it might be very confusing to young people, because of generational differences. So, in the end I finally said, “I’ll do it.”

The only time Kojima directly referenced the gameplay of MGS: Peace Walker during the interview was when discussing the trailer shown at Sony’s press conference. When pressed about the cardboard box with two Snakes in it, Kojima said, “what we showed is called ‘The Love Box’.”

When discussing Metal Gear Solid: Rising Kojima said that it would not be a traditional Metal Gear game. “It’s a completely different kind of action than what has appeared in the series so far.” He also said, “I’ll be working more deeply on the project then a normal producer.”

Valkyria Chronicles has seem to have hit gold within the month of April with a huge sales jump from its predecessor month March, skyrocketing the game into best-seller lists, off of store shelves.

In the month of April alone, Valkyria Chronicles sales in North America increased by over 400% from, once again, March.

Half a year after a game is out, being able to say that sales doubled is a fantastic thing – that sales suddenly tripled is even more rare, said SEGA.

The burning hot sales can be attributed to community contests, DLC and the temporary price drop to $30.

There isn’t a gamer out there that didn’t express a bit of concern when it was announced that BioShock 2 would have a Multiplayer mode. But, luckily, it seems that 2K Games doesn’t want you to worry about it.

When speaking to Gameplayer, BioShock 2’s lead level designer Hogarth de la Plante had this to say about the Multiplayer situation.

“We recognise that people might be cynical about a multiplayer mode,” he stated. “A lot of us are big single player fans also so in no way does it compromise the single-player experience.”

Producer Mellisa Miller added that the decision to include online play had not been taken “lightly,” but refused to detail the new mode.

It looks like inFamous is about to sell a boat load of copies. According to the PlayStation Blog, after keeping this secret for a long time, Naughty Dog is tackling the task of creating a fully-realized multiplayer and co-op mode(s) for their upcoming title, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

And, as rumored, there will be beta of the game in inFamous, which will be of the multi-player mode and it will be releasing on June 3rd – inFamous releasing May 26.

However, the games’ full co-operative mode will be playable with up to 3 players: Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer along with a third character. In addition, the co-operative story will be different from the single-player campaign and there are mini-bosses to top the levels off.

Also the game will have a five versus five death-match in its Multiplayer as well as a Capture The Flag mode called Plunder.

“Adding a multiplayer aspect to the Uncharted franchise is a significant step in the replayability of the game,” said Christophe Balestra, co president Naughty Dog. “Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be the most impressive and ambitious game that Naughty Dog has done and we are thrilled to let our fans experience it this fall.”

Expected later on by adventure eager players, it now seems that Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be releasing this September in Europe.

According to an update on the European PlayStation site, the game’s release date is scheduled for this September. However, the game was originally schedule for an Quarter 4 release, which was stated when the game was announced late last year.

In addition, the official site also confirms that the game doesn’t feature an mutli-player mode. But, sadly, this isn’t a official confirm so we’d have to wait for an officially announcement if there’s really any release date change.

Electronic Arts revealed a June 30 ship date for EA Canada’s Fight Night Round 4 (PS3, X360) in this new trailer, which hypes the sequel by punching Round 3 in the face.

 ”What we’re really trying to deliver is the most realistic simulation of the sport of boxing ever in a video game….Fight Night Round 4, you see a much more fluid, natural game.”

“[In Fight Night Round 3], you often found that the gameplay degraded into two guys standing in front of each other and trading blows,” says producer Brian Hayes. “You saw a very scripted, very repetitive experience where people stood in front of each other.”

Fight Night Round 4 will feature over 40 licensed fighters. There will be several new modes – such as the Legacy Mode.  The game’s cover will feature Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson.

As we have seen in games like Resident Evil 5, recently theres been a high demand for co-op play within normal single player games. But, it seems that Sony will be keeping the games roots with God of War III.

In an interview with CVG, God of War III director, Stig Asmussen, confirmed that Kratos will walk alone in his upcoming adventure. Toping it off with these words, “God of War III is a one-player game.”

In addition, Asmussen revealed that Kratos will have a vast array of new weaponry this time around, including:

• Hermes Boots – Allow Kratos to maneuver up walls and perform aerial attacks
• Helios Head – Reveals secret locations and functions in dark areas
• Cestus – Powerful lion gauntlets
• Fire Bow (temporary name) – Well, this one should be obvious

Remember when Capcom was nice enough to announce Lost Planet 2 via Xbox Live but only for the 360, and how there was a ton of speculation on whether, or not, it would be coming to PS3?

Well, it looks like Capcom is still thinking about it, but let’s hope they come up with something, soon.

“We’re still thinking about it and haven’t announced a PS3 version, so we can’t say more about it just yet,” producer Jun Takeuchi told Gamesradar.

Takeuchi explained the reason as of why they revealed the game via Xbox Live.

“We wanted to show the game first and foremost to fans of the original Lost Planet,” he added. “We talked to Microsoft about doing it this way and they were interested in it as well. Also, I think it was a unique and memorable way to announce the game.”

Besides Sony’s claims that “nobody will ever use 100 percent of [the PlayStation 3's] capability.” It now seems that Square-Enix producer, Yoshinori Kitase, claims that Final Fantasy XIII has maxes out all the capability of the system.

In an interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation 3, Kitase, when being asked about how much power the Final Fantasy XIII demo uses, he had this to say.

“Doesn’t the demo use about 50 percent of its power? Of course, I think the retail version will make use of nearly 100 percent,” he told the magazine.

He went on to say that the game will make use of all the PS3’s hardware power much like Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy X made use of the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2, respectively. Kitase added that there won’t be any disc swap issues due to Blu-ray and the PS3’s hard drive.

This news only makes one wonder, what does this mean for the 360 version of the game?

["Final Fantasy XIII Uses Nearly 100 Percent of PS3 Power" via Kotaku]

A THQ rep has confirm with us today that Red Faction: Guerrilla has been given a release date of June 9, 2009.

Along with that, we were told that a demo will be releasing on April 23th with any GameStop pre-order of the game, which gives you about three weeks before its release date. 

In Red Faction: Guerrilla, the protagonist Alec will be able to run, jump, hijack vehicles, and use weapons to traverse across the open world of Mars and fight the EDF (Earth Defense Force).

Weapons in the game will include; machine gun turrets, rocket turrets, remote charges, a sledgehammer, machine guns, along with many others. Red Faction: Guerrilla will feature a third-person point of view - all previous Red Faction games were played from  a first-person perspective.

Besides all the controversy over the game’s downloadable content not being free, and that it didn’t come with the full retail version of the game. We can, without a doubt, tell you that the downloadable content for Resident Evil 5 has indeed been delayed, which Capcom announced this morning.

Earlier this month, Capcom announced Resident Evil 5’s ‘versus mode’ DLC will becoming to the market, which means that it’s going to be on both PSN and Live – sorry for the messed up translation. They also revealed the games prices on the system’s marketplaces ($5 on the Playstation Network and 400 Microsoft Points on Live).

They have announced that it has changed its released date to April 9, according to Capcom’s Japanese notice – it’s only for Japan kids. “We deeply apologize to those customers who have been waiting for this down loadable content,” Capcom states.

The first BioShock title was all about single player even with the latest re-boot on the PS3 stayed within those factors.

In the latest issue of Game Informer, which included some very in-dept info on the upcoming game, Bioshock 2, it revealed plans for a multi player mode and co-op component.

Detailed for the multi player modes aren’t thin on the ice right now, but we believe they will revealed the modes soon.

We all have been wondering when our favorite anti-hero Cole McGrath would be taking a trip onto our console with is ‘electrifying arsenal of superpowers’.

Now, reports have indicated that inFamous will be headed our way in an worldwide launch this June. Along with the announcement, the official PlayStation Blog tells us that the game will indeed be getting a demo. They also have revealed that details on the demos release will be coming shortly.

They also revealed the box art for the upcoming game.

As rumoring reports mandated yesterday, it now seems that the games developers are now hinting at the return of the popular co-op game, Army of Two.

According to PlayStation LifeStyle, when you visit the Army of Two website you’ll find on the Army of Two Homepage an advertisement for the Army of Two sequel, which is  just a big old red ‘Submit’ banner. To add, there were some details given through the banners source code;

Game Name – “Army of Two: TFD”
Description – “Army to Two. The definitive third person co-op shooter is back.” [sic]
Studio Name – “EAM” (which is mostly EA Montreal)/em>

Ignition Entertainment has confirmed that King of Fighters XII will be coming to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 this Summer. The game has had its up and downs as of lately with one of the longest development cycles for any series title to date, but that is okay. Only if we can get a great game at the end.

But, with time we’ll be able to see how the game has been rebuild from the ground up – with an all new engine and a in-depth improved character sprites. Speaking of, you can view the trailer here.

Before some gets too excited and drops there pants, this isn’t confirmation of the release target we are just re-laying down a rumor of the release date so… yeah.

Anyway, according to PSXExtreme, SCEA has sent out a press release announcing Killzone 2 as the leader of the pack for this year’s 2009 PlayStation 3 blockbusters. As part of the announcement, SCEA confirmed that a new TV advertising campaign would kick off this week; it’s called the ‘Bullet’ commercial.

And they say the ‘new ad was rendered entirely in-engine via the incredible power of the Killzone 2 engine and PS3 technology to preserve the unique visual and epic gameplay experience.’

“The game [Killzone 2] ushers in an unprecedented year of titles to hit the PlayStation platform throughout the year – mean this year- including the blockbuster exclusives Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, inFamous, MAG, Heavy Rain, God of War III and MLB 09 The Show.

The game has yet been released in stores, but still the developer has confirmed that it does have plans for downloadable content in the near future.

When visiting the Headquarters of Guerrilla Games in Herengracht, Amsterdam, PSFocus asked about their plans surrounding Killzone 2’s downloadable content. Answering the question, they had called them to confirm that there is downloadable content and that it will be coming very soon.

Anyway, PSFocus were told that you should expect to release on February 27 and you should also expect there to be DLC sometime in the near future after the release, that’s it in a nut shell. Concrete details on this content weren’t released.

The God of War, Kratos, is back for an extended view of the trailer that we got viewed at back at last years VGAs. The trailer looks absolutely amazing, but be warned you may be blown away, if not, let us know!

A Sony rep has confirmed that the trailer is live action, meaning that it was taken from actual gameplay. But, franchise fans will notice the absence of some signature elements; enemies here aren’t dropping light orbs, the person playing the game isn’t being given on-screen button prompt when he – or she - goes in for the gory mini-boss kills. Lucky, Sony has confirmed to us that those elements were removed from the trailer for presentation purposes.

What if God of War II was on the PlayStation 3? Well, that is what could of happen if Phil Harrison had his way with the development of God of War II. In an interview with 1UP, Cory Barlog, director of God of War II, revealed that if Phil Harrison, who had work for Sony, had his way with the development of God of War II it could of been on the PlayStation 3 – instead of God of War III being one of the first God of War PS3 title.

“…Phil [Harrison, former president of the Worldwide Studios group] had brought it up, “Why are  we not doing this on PS3? I was actually in a presentation for the game I think a year into it, or maybe eight months into it, and Shuhei and Phil and bunch of other Japanese executives were there. We did the whole dog and pony, and then the first thing Phil said was, “Very good, thank you. I just have to ask this, since it seems like the obvious question. Why are we not doing this on PS3?” And I was like, “Uhh.” And I was like, “Uhh.” I kind of looked over at Shu and was like, “You want to take this?” He was a big proponent of it, but in the end I think a lot of people were like, “It’s a smart move to do it on PS2.”

I can say it many times over, “when will we be getting a chance to play this game?” But, none the less, it looks like it’s going to be happening a bit soon then many of us have problemly though. And, lucky, we be able to rock harder then ever, because it’s Metallica baby!

According to the band’s website, Guitar Hero: Metallica will be heading to North America on March 29, both on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but other then that, the rest of the world with have to wait until sometime in May. And for the PS2 and Wii versions they’ll “also most likely in early May.”

The game is set to improve the ‘plastic guitarists with a challenging experience that will push even veterans of the Guitar Hero franchise.’

But, one can only wait and see what they have to show from this very impressive, but yet to be shown, title.

Cyberconnect2 has worked on many games for the popular .Hack and Naruto series, but now, somehow, it seems that the developer maybe getting tired of working on .Hack and Naruto games.

Today, as I was going trough the pages of the popular Japaneses magazine Famitsu, I learned that developer Cyberconnect2 is making a new IP. And apparently the game isn’t similar to any of the other games that the developer has worked on, meaning it is not a .Hack and Naruto game.

According to the magazine, the game should be announced and released sometime in 2009. Also since the developer mostly does games for PlayStation the game has a larger chance of being on that console only.

First off this isn’t the first time we have seen this happen with the PlayStation version of a Destroy All Humans! game. If you look back all the way in January the PS2 version of Big Willy Unleashed was cancelled. This was because of some “development issues” with the PS2 version of the game. Now, however the game on the PlayStation 3 has also seem to have ran into the same issues.

According to Shacknews, THQ has confirmed that the PlayStation 3 version of Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon has indeed been cancelled. When asked why THQ stated that there was some “development issues” with the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Which means that the game is now an Xbox 360 exclusive.

This information was first found when GameStop removed the listing of the PlayStation 3 version of the game, which was the original report by Shacknews. Also an Amazon listing of the game showed that the game was planned for a Dec. 3 release but there wasn’t a listing stating that the game was in stock, like on the other items pages on the site.

The game is yet to release in North American stores, but yet it has been in Japan for sale for the pass few months. And recently, a new chapter of Valkyria Chronicles hit the PS3 network in Japan. The update focuses on Servelia, one of the games main characters, leading an Imperial force into Gallian territory. The pack is available in Japan of the price of 800 yen and it is going to be preceded by two other optional updates, Operation Edie for 600 yen and the Hard EX mode for 300 yen. The game was original set to be released in October, but because of SEGA changing their mind the game will be releasing this month.

With all the videos shown over the past year of Final Fantasy XIII, there was only so little of it shown that can be considered gameplay. And with so much time in development we were all wondering when we would be able to seen any gameplay of the game, beside in the teaser trailers. However, according to a post on the NeoGAF Forum, there will be gameplay of the game shown by the end of this year. Square-Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura spoke about the game in an interview with Gemaga, he mentions that before the end of the year we’ll see the battle scene in FF13, which is just another way of saying game. He also revealed in the interview that they have no immediate plans to release information on the voice acting cast for the game.

It was once mandatory that game developers check with Sony on there games content in Europe. Now, when speaking at the Casual Connect conference in Kiev, SCEE’s George Bain confirmed that PS2 would now be “effectively an open platform” in Europe. This is thought to be an attempt to encourage regional developers in countries such as India and Russia to make “low-development cost titles and release them in their market”.

George Bain also confirmed that Sony’s entire content approval system has been streamlined into a single global system. Which makes it easier for developers to submit their content online under one website not separated by regions. Therefore, it makes it easier for developers to get their further downloadable content out, after there first one passes through which makes it faster because they don’t have to go through the process again.

Personally I wasn’t expecting to even see a LittleBigPlanet presentation at the Tokyo Game Show, but I’m very happy that I was wrong. Today, towards the end of the presentation, PlayStation’s main man, Hideo Kojima, took the stage and started talking about a Solid Snake Sackboy. Many of us where hoping for a new game announcement like a new Metal Gear game, but a cute sackboy is always cool too. Along with that announcement he also revealed that one of best video game villians of all time, Sephiroth will be making his way onto LittleBIGplanet as a Sackboy.

Capcom has now announced that downloadable content will be hitting this Tuesday with not even a week since its debut of the game, Mega Man 9, on the marketplace. This is a much needed DLC that set’s the game higher above the rest in the franchise. Set to be unveiled with this download, the game will interlude a new playable chacter named Proto Man and will add a mode called Endless Attack. While prices have not been announced it’s most likely that the DLC may go for the price of $2.00-$3.00 dollars to reflect the price on Nintendo’s WiiWare service. If you would like more information you’ll just have to wait a little bit longer because the rest of the expected DLC will make its way in the upcoming week of October 20th.

Today, we got some information on the games D-pad control system, which is much like the system that was used in Gears of War. This system will be fully optional and it uses the left stick and right stick much like in any normal TPS, Third person shooter. This system allows you to strafe left or right, and manipulate the camera and here’s how it will work. LT will ready the weapon for shooting and RT will fire your weapon. While in D-pad mode you cannot move or you can barely move. We also can confirm to you that some old BOW’s from the pre-RE4 era will make and return in this game.

Well you cannot have the everything you want. In the word from Doug Lombardi and Gabe Newell, PS3 owners will not be part of the update that pc user are now enjoying. 1UP have now confirmed with valve, that the update will not see daylight on the PS3 which is coming later to the Xbox 360 this year.But the question remains why ? Perhaps  they have no manpower of any kind to take on the PS3. With EA ”not doing ongoing development on The Orange Box” on the PS3 port. While this is always disappointing news can this or will it happen in the future leaving Sony gamers in the cloudy dust of no updates.

2K has not been hiding much after revealing Bioshock for the PlayStation 3, as we once again receive another update from them about the upcoming game. It was not to long ago that 2K games revealed the official release date for Bioshock on the PS3, which just happens to be on October 21. Now, we have learned that Bioshock, and much like many other games on the PlayStation 3, will have a 5Gb mandatory install.

According to Videogaming 24/7, the 5Gb mandatory install will take about little over 10 minutes to complete. We can also tell you that you that it will not need to re-install the game after every chapter of the game, unlike in Metal Gear Solid 4. As you may know, mainly everything that was released as downloadable content in BioShock for the Xbox 360 will released in the PS3 version of the game. The game was rumoured to have a sizable install after the BBFC rated the game back in July, but 2K commented at the time that it was likely to have an install of “around 5 or 6 minutes” at most.

According to a report by EFluxMedia, in 2003 Microsoft closed a deal with Immersion concerning business and IP licensing arrangements. According to the terms of the sub-license agreement, Microsoft was entitled to at least $15 million from any Sony payment over $100 million, plus 25 percent of any amount over $100 million up to $150 million.

Because back in 2002, Immersion filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and Sony over Xbox and PlayStation game controllers, which Microsoft agreed to pay $26 million at the time in order to settle the lawsuit. But, last year Sony was forced to pay to pay a total of $121 million to Immersion.

“We entered into a binding licensing agreement with Immersion and are seeking to have that agreement honored,” - Said Microsoft at the time the arrangements where made.

The Playstation Blog revealed that the all powerful god of war, Kratos, will pack his bags to play some golf on the 21th of this month in the form of a downloadable character for Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds. As you may already know this is a much needed break for Kratos because battling the gods really does take a toll on such a character  to take a break he will head to the grounds to sink putts while using is clubs of chaos for massive chaos on the grounds.

The DLC will going for a not so bad price of $2.00 which comes with some new voice overs, we don’t really expect him to go wild with this download seeing that he is on a break and we should respect his vacation time as he focus on a little “E” for all time.

While Eidos isn’t exactly in the most pleasant of thoughts with thousands of gamers out there, the bottom line is that we can’t skip on reporting about one of the world’s most recognizable franchises, Tomb Raider. Eidos Games has release new screenshots for Tomb Raider Underworld, their upcoming follow-up to Tomb Raider: Legend. In the first screenshot you will see Lara Croft hung to a rock facing a giant octopus and in the next screenshot you will see her under water in prey with a shark.

In my life I have seen many things but nothing like this. You Don’t Know Jack is a game where high culture and pop culture collide and it really puts you know to the test. Nothing can really be added to what’s said at this time but this game would make a great addition to the Wii’s intelligent library of games. With no word on the developer/publisher Activision is well known on picking up games of this kind.

KOEI have announced today that Fatal Inertia EX will be hitting the PLAYSTATION Network on Thursday, June 19th. While the game was  supposed to hit PSN last month, but due to something technical it was delayed . It will be available on the store for $29.99 along with a demo for people who would like to give this game a try.

Today, on the UbiSoft Haze forums one of the Dev where asked a question and one of those questions where “Will Haze have a mandatory install?” the dev responded by saying “You will need to go through a minimal install (about 4 Gigs) but not the whole game.”

The game revolves around Mantel Industries, a corporation that has bio-medical expertise. Who developed supplement that enables soldiers to fight smarter called Nectar, but it has an effect which makes soldiers no longer cognizant of the real battlefield environment around them.

With Haze being a major part of Sony Huge Keynote this just proves that Sony is going to bring more to the table with games like Resistance 2 ,Secret Agent Clank [PSP] and SingStar Vol. 2. There is no word on the demo coming to the United States store.

In an interview with IGN, Hiroshi Matsuyama, President/CEO of CyberConnect2 told the PlayStation 3 team at IGN that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm will cover the first 135 episodes. Also in the interview Hiroshi Matsuyama told IGN that online play will not be incorporated in the game. Here what he had to say:

“Unfortunately, we don’t have any individual online matchmaking modes for the game, but we will be planning downloadable content that will hopefully compensate for the lack of that feature. We’ll make sure we have something interesting for the downloadable content, don’t worry.”
