Square Enix have announced a direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII, which will be arriving on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011. The game, called Final Fantasy XIII-2, is being made by the same team as Final Fantasy XIII, including the director Motomu Toriyama.
“We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 would be the best console version of the product,” stated Gabe Newell, president and confounder of Valve. I’m sure many of you are with me on this when I asked myself, “And how so, Gabe?”.
Electronic Arts and Sony have teamed up to bring Mass Effect 2 to the PlayStation Store January 18th. This upcoming Tuesday, look for the game to appear in the PlayStation Store’s weekly update. You may want to clear some room on the hard drive, as the game if going to be a sizable download of over 10GB if it’s any indication of the size of the current releases.
Another week brings with it another PSN update. Although, there is surprisingly little to get excited about with only two PS3 store releases (DC Universe Online and Venetica) and just one new game on PSN (Faery: Tales of Avalon).
Sony has finally responded to the reports of the PS3 being hacked, and it’s not pretty. Although the electronics giant has yet to release any sort of firmware update to quell the issue, as they had recently promised, they have taken legal action against the hackers in the form of a temporary restraining order.
It looks as if No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise finally has a release date… sort of. According to PlayStation’s official blog, Hereos’ Paradise will be hitting store shelves this fall season.
City Interactive, developer of last year’s surprisingly successful Sniper: Ghost Warrior for 360 and PC, and its subsequent PS3 port, have announced that a sequel is in the works. Producer Michal Sroczynski revealed the game for the first time during an interview with Eurogamer.se, but he remained tight-lipped about the project. The only tidbit that was released was the game’s new engine: Crytek’s super-powerful CryEngine 3 will be used to craft the game for a simultaneous release on PS3, 360, and PC.
