Ubisoft Won't Be Publishing No More Heroes HD In North America

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:49:00 +0000

Ubisoft is the nominal publisher for No More Heroes , but that won't be the case for the upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 ports. The publisher told G4 that they've decided to pass on a North American release for the game. In a brief statement, a company representative said, "Ubisoft will not be publishing either of these versions." No reason was given for their decision. It's still possible that No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise will make it to North America, but it'll be through a different publisher. One possibility is Capcom, which published Grasshopper's Killer 7 back in 2005. Otherwise, there's the usual suspects such as Atlus.

God of War Collection: A Video Comparison

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:24:00 +0000

God of War Collection dropped this week, and many PS3 owners want to know if it’s worth the plunge. This new compilation features newly remastered versions of the PS2 classics on one Blu-ray, alongside with a voucher to download the God of War III demo from the PlayStation Store. We're not planning to run a review of GoW Collection , but that doesn't mean that we haven't taken the time to set up some comparison videos detailing the visual differences between both games running on a backwards-compatible PlayStation 3 versus the newly redone game. I've written up some impressions to go alongside the videos, which you can check out here . In order to properly display the action, the comparison videos focus on two areas: combat and cinematic moments, such as cutscenes or quicktime events. Whether it’s Kratos jamming a Kraken head through a ship mast or climbing into the animated Colossus of Rhodes statue to dismantle it from within, I think the videos speak for ...

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:12:22 +0000

Sega dethrones Winning Eleven with its own footie sim for the PSP; Sony's portable, PS3 nearly tie at top of hardware chart. Konami's World Soccer Winning Eleven 2010 (Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 internationally) opened big in Japan for the week of November 2-8, shifting some 217,000 units. One week later, and a new soccer game has worked its way to the top of Media Create's weekly sales chart; this one with a decidedly Japanese bent. For the week of November 9-15, Sega's J-League Pro Soccer Club o Tsukurou! 6: Pride of J on the PSP scored big with 84,966 units sold. If only the cover coach was as excited as the cover text. Beyond J-League, the mid-November week had a number of charting debuts. Namco Bandai scored with Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, as the PlayStation 3 edition secured third with 57,972.

The credibility of this news was a bit shoddy, however, seeing as how the site has been wrong on multiple occasions. Today, Mozilla dispelled said rumor in an e-mail to PS3Center.net: "Nope - not sure how that rumor got started but it's been keeping us busy all day :)" Well, there you have it. It seems the PS3's OS will not be getting Firefox -- at least not anytime soon.

Sony "Confident" It Will Sell 13 Million PlayStation 3's This Year

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:06:00 +0000

Sony Computer Entertainment is aiming for 13 million PlayStation 3 consoles sold worldwide by the end of the fiscal year, as Executive Vice President Kaz Hirai explained to the press that he is "confident" that they can reach that goal. Furthermore, they plan to achieve profitability with the platform by March 2011, with cost-cutting and investing in new technologies helping to pave the way, including their plans to focus on 3D gaming and movies with a firmware update. Gamasutra notes that if Sony is able to accomplish the 13 million number by the end of their fiscal year in March 2010, it would "represent a significant gain over the company's fiscal 2008, which saw 10.1 million units sold." The company's own numbers show that they sold 4.3 million consoles combined over their first and second quarter, meaning they will have to sell over double that amount during the remaining half, which includes the holiday season.

God of War Collection Receiving Reports of Freezing Issues

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:23:00 +0000

The recently-released God of War Collection appears to be experiencing some technical hiccups, according to users on the PlayStation forums and blog (via Joystiq ). A handful of players are complaining of freezing during the opening cinema or stage. Most of the issues seem to be coming from 60 GB units, though there are a few PS3 Slim owners with complaints as well. Sony hasn't officially responded yet, but we're keeping an eye out for it. If you've been having trouble, feel free to enter the PlayStation forums and let them know. As with all bug reports, the more information provided, the easier it is for developers to address them. Be sure to include your PS3 model and where the freeze occurred. The problem doesn't seem widespread; many players are enjoying the game just fine, and we haven't had any trouble here at 1UP. But we'll keep you up to date with word from Sony on a fix for those affected. ...

Watch the Video Walkthrough of the Newly Released adhocParty

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:22:00 +0000

At long last, the adhocParty feature has been released to those lucky enough to own both a PS3 and PSP. With it, you'll now be able to play some of your PSP games online that previously only allowed for ad-hoc multiplayer. One of the unfortunate drawbacks worth mentioning upfront is that you won't be able to make use of adhocParty if your PS3 connects to your router wirelessly. That's due to the fact that the PS3 is already communicating with your PSP wirelessly, so the only option for it to be able to connect to the internet -- at least at this point -- is through a wired connection. Hopefully an alternative method will be made available at some point to those, like myself, who simply can't connect wire their console to the internet -- maybe a USB dongle of some sort would do the trick? So if you've passed all the caveats of having to own both a PSP and PS3, a supported PSP game with ad-hoc multiplayer, and a ...

Here’s a taste of what awaits you on the fully customizable roads of ModNation Racers : “There are few game genres more timeless than racing. The goal is as self-explanatory as they come: get to first place. One of the greatest barriers for racing games to withstand the test of time is that, sooner or later, the tracks are bound to get old. United Front Studio's ModNation Racers seeks to fix that with its intuitive level editor adding "the deepest customization ever seen in a racer,” according to Dan Sochan, the game's producer.” Read the full hands-on preview right here .

IBM Ending Cell Processor Development

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:47:19 +0000

IBM has confirmed that it will cease development of the Cell Processor used on the PS3 among other systems. This does not equate to an end of production. IBM has been co-developing the Cell Processor along with Sony and Toshiba. Even after the PS3's launch better models of the processor have been developed between the three. IBM's most recent and supposedly last version of the Cell Processor is the PoweXCell 8i which is currently used in the world's second fastest supercomputer. IBM will not develop the planned 32 SPE version of Cell. The status of actual development of the Cell Processor does not equate to the status of production of current models of the processor for the PS3. No reports have been made on changes to production or production of PS3s. Despite ending development of the Cell itself, IBM will still incorporate parts of the Cell into future designs. Apparently they will pursue a CPU/GPU hybrid route in the future. Technically, Sony can still hire IBM to develop a new Cell ...

REVIEW: God of War Collection Gives the PS2 Games a Facelift

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:45:43 +0000

What the Game's About God of War: Collection is the re-release of the PlayStation 2 classics God of War and God of War II. The games tell of the story of a tortured anti-hero named Kratos who seems to always get tricked by the Olympian gods, gets really pissed and ends up destroying a lot of stuff and people. The reason they are re-releasing on the PS3 is that Sony's Santa Monica studios updated the visuals to a crisp 720p while retaining everything else you remember about these games. What's Hot A visual upgrade is a great way to reintroduce the wrath-filled tale of Kratos. The games looked great on the PS2 to begin with, but the PS3 has since blown anything the PS2 could do out of the water and them some (nomination for understatement of the year!). The new coat of paint on the textures remain faithful to the original material but gives it an HD shine that looks stunning on TVs. This is the real reason to pick this collection of classic games all over again. Screen shots don't do this texture ...

Hands On: Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Bringing down the beta house. Jumping from Modern Warfare 2 to Bad Company 2 isn't recommended. While both are broadly similar in concept - modern military shooters set in an imaginary land war between America and Russia - the difference in style couldn't be more pronounced. Infinity Ward's big-bollocked blockbuster has the bone-rattling volume and GRAAAAAGH KILLING SPREE! adrenaline rush, but try those bombastic Hollywood heroics over in DICE's theatre of war and you'll be shot to ribbons before you can say "danger close". Currently titillating PS3 owners with an exclusive multiplayer beta, a whopping four months from release, Battlefield looks set to continue its conquest of the middle ground between Call of Duty's crowd-pleasing mayhem and Operation Flashpoint's brutal realism. Even more than its predecessor, which marked the series' debut on consoles, Bad Company 2 is undeniably part of the PC lineage. This is smart, savage war-gaming, where a cool head and a steady hand are rewarded ...

Question time. First, the good news: Buzz! is back! A new instalment in the hit series of quiz games has been released just in time for Christmas.

Now, the bad news: Buzz is back. The eponymous quiz show host is as bouncy, bolshy and full of irritating wisecracks as ever. Once again it will be just minutes before you want to grab him by his silly hair, yank the top of his giant head as far back as it will go, stuff your Buzz! controller into his gaping maw, push it so far down his gullet the flashing red button pops out the other end, stab the sharpened end of a tree branch into each buttock and call him Rudolph. Or perhaps that's just me. So putting Buzz to one side for now, let's start with those round types. Buzz!: Quiz World features old favourites such as Fastest Finger, Pass the Bomb ...
