Portal 2 PS3 Has Cross-Platform PC-PS3 Multiplayer, Free PC Version

Valve Software revealed more details about the previously-announced Steam support for the PlayStation 3 version of the upcoming puzzle-heavy shooter Portal 2.

Newly-announced Steam features in the PS3 version of the game include support for PC/Mac-to-PS3 multiplayer play, cloud-based storage of PS3 save games and cross-platform chat (there is no announced support for PS3-to-PC/Mac cloud-based game saves).

When the game launches on PS3 in April this year, it will be the first time that PC-derived Steam functionality will appear on any home console. The game is coming to PS3, PC, Mac and Xbox 360, the latter of which will not have Steam functionality.

PlayStation 3 gamers who buy Portal 2 will also be able to unlock a Steam Play copy of the game (i.e. the full PC/Mac version) for free by linking their PlayStation Network accounts with Steam.

Modnation Racers on PS3 because of free PSN

United Front Games producer Dan Sochan says the developer choose the PS3 as their exclusive platform for its user-generated-content racer, called ModNation Racers because PSN is free.

"As we were coming up with what we were doing and what we wanted to create, we spoke to some different publishers and immediately there was this sort of synergy between us and Sony," said Sochan.

"And in terms of the hardware, the power of the PS3 and the PSN network being free - that we could make sure that everyone who buys a copy of the game is able to get online for free and then share all this content - were really important for us," he told Edge.

"For us it's really a lot about the community feel and we feel that the PSN has a very strong community at present."

Bad Economy! Well you need a PS3

The current economic outlook does not look too good for many. With unemployment reaching levels not seen in decades, the DJIA falling faster than a TV child star career and every other house on your block on the verge of foreclosure. Why not invest in a Sony PS3. It may sound like the most ass backward move you can make when the world is on an economic meltdown of global proportions. But, I will try to outline the logic and reason for investing $399.99 plus tax in a Sony PS3 in such murky economic times.

If you are a gamer, casual or hardcore a PS3 should be considered as your console of choice. They are currently two cheaper alternatives besides the PS3 but as a gamer the PS3 is the one you should focus on. Sony has recently confirm MAG, Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and God of War III will be here before year end. If you are the impatience type KillZone 2 will be here in four days, StreetFighter IV has officially hit store shelves, and Infamous will be here just in time for the spring bloom.

Beside a great core of AAA exclusives here in the US and overseas in Japan, you have the ability to access your PSN all for free. Now, I understand you have to pay for broadband which can cost at least $50.00 a month. But, with such a rough economy you will not have to pay to play on your Sony PS3. You will not have to pay to access premium full game contents on the PSN. You will not pay to DL any movie of choice and store it on your HDD. You will not pay to use HOME as a meeting place to conduct business, casual social encounters or getting with friends to play a game of Warhawk.

It can cost you up to $9.75 per person to attend a movie, add popcorn candy and soft drinks you can easily spend sixty plus dollars. If you own a PS3 you can say "to hell with the movies" rent a blu-ray, DVD or if you are a little adventurous DL a movie to your PC and copy it to your PS3 HDD. You can also visit Hulu/YouTube/NewsFilter and many other site to view television shows, movies or porn online all for free. If by chance you have a Sony PSP you have a portable video player on the go. All your media content on your PS3 can be access by your PSP anywhere around the world as long as there is a Wifi connection. Did I mention this is done all for free?

Now say you hate movies and do not plan to buy, rent, or stream any movies to your shiny new PS3. And your idea of any games consist of two rocks, one egg and a donkey named Eddie. The PS3 still oozes with value. You can use your PS3 as a cheap PC alternative to browse the Internet, check the weather, read sports, or just kill time. Life with PlayStation will help feed your appetite for global news and weather and at the same time teach your young lings some geography or maybe yourself. If having unlimited access to the world news all for free does not float your boat you can help contribute to the Control of Membrane Fusion Mechanism by Lipid Composition: Predictions from Ensemble Molecular Dynamics(WTF) by using Sony Folding@home. With your new PS3, even if you are not a lover of movies and games you can still be well informed about the world events and weather while helping scientist of the world solves gods riddles.

Ok, if you do not like playing God, can't stand blu-rays(hurt your eyes), would shoot mother nature if you had a chance and thinks world events is chronicling of an impending doomsday. Do not worry there is still more shit you can do with your Sony PS3. You can display your photos all in glorious HD to your adoring friends or family members. With the addition of the new Gallery feature for the PSN, that helps you sort your pictures by smiles, age and many other random criteria. You can make your very own custom themes for your PS3.

So with 3d Blu-ray and 3D gaming on the horizon, AAA exclusives like Killzone 2, God of War III, Heavy Rain, MAG and inFamous due out this year, built in Wifi, upgradable HDD, free PSN, B/C older models, PSP connectivity, Movie storage and purchase on your HDD, Full premium games on PSN for purchase(no need to visit the local Wal-mart anymore),Life with PlayStation, the new PSN Gallery, HOME, Folding@home, free to play with friends online and the ability to talk to anyone around the world for free. Let's not forget a very will built reliable machine that will last you years. So what are you waiting for, head to your local pawn shop(best way to get old PS3 unit with B/C) or BestBuy and pick up a PS3 do your part to help stimulate the economy!

Resident Evil 5 Sony PS3 Demo Impressions

February 2009 is a great month to be a gamer and finally one of the heavy hitters for February has dropped a demo on Xbox LIVE and Sony Japanese PSN. First off I would like to mention I am a huge fan of the Resident Evil series.Resident Evil 5 is LIVE on Japanese PSN. According to, rumblings online it may hit EU PSN as soon as tomorrow and here in the US Thursday of this week. If you have not set up multiple regional accounts on your Sony PS3 ,I highly recommend you do so now!

After playing EA Dead Space for Xbox LIVE, I was extremely eager to give Resident Evil 5 a go. After downloading Resident Evil 5 this morning and playing the two levels that's in the demo offline. I have to say I am somewhat disturbed.

Resident Evil 5 graphics are very good, finally we get a HD Resident Evil. You begin either of the two stages in the demo with your female counterpart named Sheva Alomar who is an agent of the West African branch of the BSAA. While playing offline in single player mode. Sheva will be computer controlled, she will provide you with cover fire, assist you to get to out of reach platforms, revive you when you're injuried or you can swap items together. The AI for Sheva is good, she does a good job defending herself and reviving Chris when the end is near.

I did not have chance to play online, but you can see that playing with a friend for free can be a little more fun. What has disturb me about Resident Evil 5 is the controls. After playing Dead Space, you expect every next generation survival horror game to have a fairly competent control scheme. For some strange reason, controlling your character in Resident Evil feels like racing a Sherman tank in the desert. Yeah that bad, but if there's anything that will HURT Resident Evil 5 in future reviews would be the control scheme.

The control scheme for Resident Evil is the excact same as in Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube. Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube was a great experience at the time(2005). Fast forward four years later and add two super powerful next generation consoles, the controls feels antique. Chris Redfield feels slow unbearably slow, he turns slow, runs slow, and using your knife is a hideous affair. Aiming feels like a pain in the ass, when Chris Redfield runs around it's as bad if not worst than running in Fable II.

The controls for Resident Evil 5 could really make the entire game experience a frustrating affair. There are parts where you are swarm with enemies and to accurately target your foes was quite annoying. Sheva did a good enough job fighting and reviving me but Capcom should be reprimanded for dropping the ball on the control scheme on a once great franchise.

Sidenote: Resident Evil was always about survival horror and a few good scares for good measures. Resident Evil 5 looks and has the feel of a out right run and gun shooter. The full game maybe different, but from the demo, online video and pictures, it looks like much of Resident Evil 5 takes place in day light. How can we have a survival horror game that is mostly played in the day light in Africa? After playing the demo fro Resident Evil 5, I may consider this a rental first before I splurge $59.99 plus tax.

Am I cheap or am I being a Fanboy?

Resident Evil dropped on Xbox LIVE Tuesday of last week and will be on PSN February 5th. I currently own a launch day Xbox360(no RROD yet..as I knock on wood) and have been paying $49.99 every year since. Now this is my dilemma, I would love to get a chance to play Resident Evil 5 demo now, but my LIVE gold membership expired December 2007 .

If I want to play Resident Evil 5 now this moment, I will have to pay $29.99 to play a demo? Now, I understand that $29.99 gives me access to play games online with my friends and first dibs on all new demos. But why should I pay $29.99 per year to play with my friends? My Sony PS3 is free and I am very used to free. All Microsoft Window Live players play their counter-parts online for free. So why is Microsoft still charging to maximize your gaming experience online?

Microsoft Xbox 360 should be in the black in terms of turning a profit per console. So why still charge millions of gamers $29.99 to play online every year? Now I am very fortunate to own a PS3 which helps me tremendously to justify not renewing my Gold LIVE membership. I also understand that many may not have the chance to own a Sony PS3 and Microsoft 360.

I understand everyone needs to make money and that's why we all play this game of life. Microsoft will need to make Xbox LIVE free for all, Nintendo does it, Sony does it, and Microsoft does it with all of the PC gamers. If there is anything that will hurt the almighty Xbox 360 in the future it will be the charging for Xbox LIVE.

Now besides being charge for Xbox LIVE there is a heavy amount of micro transitions on LIVE market place. If you want to upgrade your theme or avatar your are charged, if you want to change your GamerTag you are charged, if you want to download the latest demo you need to pay $29.99 to become a Gold Member. If I am paying a premium price to game I should be able to get more price breaks on LIVE market place. Give me discounts on LIVE arcade games or maybe one free game per month. Give me discounts on all Video content. Give me a discount on all Netflix video. Give me more free choice for my avatar. You get the point, "WTF" do you get for $29.99 every year beside playing with a friend?

Sony PS3 PSN is free to play online with friends, to access HOME, photo gallery, change your Gamertag, use Life with Playstation access the Video store, get online, go to different regional stores all for free. Now I'll have to agree that Sony is very heavy on micro transitions but at least their main services are free. And you have the option to pay for it or continue to enjoy the reminding free services.

Seriously if you own a Sony PS3 and Xbox 360 why would you pay $29.99 per year to play videogames online?

Dear Sony, I want to Love "HOME" but I just Can't!

Maybe it's just me, I was not a fan of the critically acclaim Mass Effect(personally the hype is not justified for this game"my opinion") and the first hour or so of Fallout 3 bored the shit out of me. So you what the hell does this have to do with Sony Home, well absolutely nothing. Just had to get that off my chest.

I have been anticipating Sony's virtual social space Home for the longest time, when I had the oppertunity to finally join the beta I was eager elated and pretty pumped. Now about two plus months later Sony's Home has dropped on PSN and at best, it's a mediocre experience.

I am trying hard maybe too hard to enjoy and see the value in Home. But every time, I boot up my Sony PS3 and hit the Home icon a slight quiver of excitement hits me until I start to explore and interact with Home.

If boredom was to be manifested into a virtual environment it would be called "Home". Yes, there are a few new rooms, Red Bull, Uncharted and Farcry 2. Besides Red Bull, there is no point to the Uncharted Home space and FarCry 2 Home space.

So what else does Sony have planned for "Home" besides EA Sports Complex(sounds interesting)will they do something amazing with firmware update 3.0 or would they milk the "beta title" to justify the mediocrity. At this moment there are a few things wrong with "Home". It lacks most of the features that was promised and it's a virtual bank for Sony(microtranstation anyone). See video below and you be the judge

GDC:2007 PS3 Home 'Features' HD

Where is my trophy room? Where are the third party "Home Spaces"? Can I have the ability to move faster in Home? Could we have faster loading times when traveling to and from different "Home Spaces" The problem with Home for me is it still feels dull and lifeless even with people running around doing the cabbage patch. it feels very "1999"

GDC:2007 PS3 Home 'Hall of Fame'

I know Home is supposed to be a virtual meeting place to meet new people and hang out with your current friends. Most of the people on my friend list does not even know Home exist(they are never "Home"). The virtual stores located in "Home" currently still have the same shit form the beta, nothing new,cool or exciting has yet to emerge.

Where is the ability to take content from my HDD and place it into my personal "Home space"? I know "Home" is a ginormous( I know this is not a work but add it to your vocab) endeavor and will take a while to come to full fruition, but Sony has been fiddling around with "home" for about three years now. And it still feels half ass.

Why not include new content with every new firmware update? Offer new animation for sale(.99) or allow your users to created new content and upload it to "Home". Where is a LittleBigPlanet Space? I would think you can and should be able to incorprate LBP into "Home" in very cool and unique ways. What is Sony waiting for? How about a Metal Gear Solid Space? Sony two biggest titles has no love in "Home" (Besides LBP ads) "WTF"

Sony "Home" has great potential and I hope Sony fulfills on their promise and dreams with "Home", but at the moment "Home" is filled with empty promises and unrealized dreams.

HOME Beta Code

Good afternoon everyone as little token of my appreciation I would like to share my US HOME Beta code with all of my loyal readers, This code has not been used I am currently in the Japanese beta currently.

For anyone who do not know anything about Sony PS3 HOME. Here is a quick nano run down aboutSony PSN HOME. HOME is a virtual community base service that will allow all PSN user to meet in a virtual space of their very own. Each PSN member will be able to build thier own avatar and virtual apartment(HomeSpace). You will be able to dress up your virtual surroundings via micro-transitions. While in HOME you can meet new friends, link up with old and current friends, play causal games with friends such as: bowling, PAC-man, dugout, just to name a few. You will be able to launch your current game library directly from HOME which in theory should make getting together with friends to play a round of COD5 easier and fun all at the same time.

HOME is currently in the very early stages with enormous potential, with many HomeSpaces available through third party, second and first party developer we can expect endless longevity in future games that support Sony HOME. One very intriguing aspect I can imagine would be the ablility to go to a virtual representation of E3 2009. Be able to walk around and test out all of Sony games LIVE at E3 with everyone else.
