According to SCEA senior producer Mark Rogers, SOCOM Confrontation has the most simultaneous online connections on the PlayStation Network then both Killzone 2 and Resistance 2, proving that Socom is still as popular as it was on the PS2, even with all the bugs that have plagued it since its launch.
Players who have stuck with SOCOM Confrontation will be rewarded soon with another upcoming patch which is in testing "the scale and scope of the patch has led to an extended testing cycle" with Slant Six continuing to support SOCOM Confrontation This will no doubt keep the Socom fan's happy for the foreseeable future.
Sony Computer Entertainment's inFAMOUS will be turned into a movie by screenwriter Sheldon Turner.
"What excited me most about the game was it was the first of which I've come across that had a big idea and a character arc," scribe Turner told THR. "It is, I believe, the future of gaming. The game, while big and fun, is at its core a love ballad to the underachiever, which is what our hero, Cole McGrath, is."
The property's rights are still being ironed out but should not be an issue considering both entities fall under the ginormous Sony umbrella. So it will be some time before it's released in theaters.
After watching the video below it appears that the Fat Princess space is the old events/treasure hunt space from awhile back, does this mean it will be around for a limited time only or is this indeed a new space.
No release date as yet but with Fat Princess releasing tomorrow July 30th, could we see the space added in the weekly Home update which is every Thursday.
UPDATE The following was just posted on the EU Blog concerning Fat princess event space coming to Home.
Next (and this is very exciting) as of tomorrow, we will be launching a new event in PS Home – the Fat Princess “Quest for Cake”. Based upon the brilliant PSN title, all you have to do is visit the PlayStation Events Space to join in this very special confectionery quest.
In the fully redecorated space you will find eight pieces of cake, locked away in cages. To unlock the cake and feed your Princess you need to search the space high and low for clues, these clues will give you access to the finest gateaux and, eventually, her majesty’s waistline. If you do manage to unlock all eight pieces of cake, and feed the Princess, a special PS Home reward will be yours – the Fat Princess’ very own throne for your personal apartment. Here are a few screenshots of the space to whet your appetite…
Last, (but by no means least!) there will be a few additional surprises in tomorrow’s publishing window (particularly revolving around the undead…) so be sure to log-in and check it out I’ll be around for a while if you have any comments, otherwise I’ll see you in PS Home tomorrow unlocking slices of the finest black forest gateaux.
After looking around the web the last few days for cheap deals on PS3s i have noticed that a few retailers have reduced the price on their PS3s to clear old stock, but the old stock appears to be 40 and 80gb PS3s. I have called around a few stores and have heard from at least two that the reason was to clear the old stock for a new PS3 SKU(stock-keeping unit) one told me that a new PS3 SKU will be out very soon, i then asked if this was to do with the PS3 slim in which he told me "well if i was you i would keep an eye on GDC Europe 2009 for more details" this is what he was told by his employer.
So the evidence appears to point at the PS3 Slim being announced at GDC Europe 2009 with a release very soon after maybe around september at a price of around £249 with all old versions being sold at a lower price to clear.
Otherwise expect an annoucement of the PS3 Slim to launch late Sep/October at the Tokyo Game Show (24 Sep)
Either way it looks very likly we will see the slim by the end of October at the latest.
In my local Asda today PS3 40gig reduced from £297 to £199. At the till they said they are selling them off as they are discontinued. 80 gig are not going to be reduced. May only be local (Stratford upon Avon) but worth a look in case it is national.
SONY PS3 40/80GB CONSOLE £200.00 INSTORE ONLY I have also heard that W H Smiths are doing these deals to but you will need to check your local store as some have them and some don't in store only.
