How will Sony make amends for the now inFamous 4/20 hack debacle? It looks like we have to wait and see what Sony has up their sleeves. What sequels will Sony reveal? Syphon Filter 4? a new God of War? Sly 4? Will there be shock and awe or a loud thud?
YouTube user shantzg001 has successfully modded his Kinect camera to work with the PlayStation 3, creating a sense of unity between console manufactures Sony and Microsoft.
The sequel to Warner Bros' hit 2006 animation comedy and one of my favorite movies about the world of dancing and singing Penguins is due out in "November."
Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Sofia Vergara, and Hank Azaria are lending their vocals to the 3D flick, alongside the first film’s stars Robin Williams and Elijah Wood.
The teaser, below, shows the all-singing, all-dancing penguins flapping around to renditions of LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” and Justin Timberlake’s “Sexy Back” - swapped for “fluffy back” in the PG adventure.
And you thought Final Destination 3D was the final chapter of Death hunting down a luckily few who happened to dodge the grim reaper. Well Aliens of the Deep co-director Steven Quale who was also James Cameron’s second Unit guy on Avatar directs this new installation.
They are a few variations on the X-Men: First Class trailer that are showing up online. Here are two more international versions, with the first even showing Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) using his power at the 1-minute mark.
The Uncharted series for the PS3 has always been an epic non-stop action joy ride. Naughty Dog's third entry Uncharted:Drake's Deception 3-D is turning out to be Sony's PS3 next must have game.
In the new cutscene, Sony PS3 owners are introduced for the very first time to Katherine Marlowe, an aging British woman. According to Naughty Dog, Marlowe is the current head of a 400-year-old cabal associated with none other than Queen Elizabeth and her sea-faring explorer Sir Francis Drake, Nathan's long-dead relative. At the outset of the cutscene, Drake and Sully are thrown out into an alleyway somewhere in urban England, where they're roughed-up by some of Marlowe's goons. It's only after the two men are adequately subdued that Marlowe herself shows up.
Microsoft's Kinect has seen some very clever and innovative things done from researchers around the world with minimum budgets. Hopefully the game development community is keeping notes.
A new project uses the Microsoft Kinect as a crude 3D scanner. Joris said, "Fabricate Yourself is a tool by Karl Willis of Interactive Fabrication. Released at the Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction Conference, the tool lets people strike a pose in front of a Microsoft Kinect. If they like the pose they can 3D print the result. The tool is not yet finished and improvements in resolution have to be made."
Everyone's favorite spoke's person has a new product to pitch, maybe you've heard about it Killzone 3. The two new adverts for PS3 exclusive Killzone 3 have been released, and they star internet sensation we have all grew to love Kevin Butler. In one he appears to be stamping his signature onto pictures of himself, and in the other he plays Killzone 3 using the Move controller.
It's alive, DeepSilver’s formally confirmed it’s to publish Techland’s Dead Island with a release in 2011. The publisher also confirmed that a PS3 version was in the works. The game was previously a PC and 360 exclusive.
The game is set in a first-person perspective on a tropical island. It’ll have a heavy focus on “character development and customisation” as well as a “vast array of weapons” with melee being a heavy focus due to “firearms and ammunition being scarce.”
Microsoft's Kinect has been a mega-hit for Microsoft, behind a half a billion dollar ad campaign. One thing that may hinder the overall longevity of Kinect is the lack of buttons. It looks like Microsoft may have a solution for those of you fretting about this blatant omission.
Microsoft has release video, showing off the new Window Phone 7 being compatible with Kinect. Check the video out ofter the jump. Will this now entice you to purchase a Kinect and a Window Phone?
20th Century Fox has debuted the trailer for superhero prequel X-Men: First Class.
