Series creator David Jaffe of God of War fame took the stage at the Sony Press Conference and unveiled the new Twisted Metal game coming to PS3.
A live demo of the game was played for the audience. The game will feature flying vehicles for the first time and will be out sometime in 2011.

There’s been a rocky relationship with Valve and Sony since the release of PlayStation 3. Valve was early to complain that the PS3 was too hard to develop games for and continuously neglected the PS3 platform for their games, offering shuddy ports of games from The Orange Box.
Today at the Sony E3 Press Conference, Valve’s Gabe Newell announced that Portal 2 will be coming to PS3 and will be steamworks enabled offering features not available on other consoles.
Newell said the new features will make Portal 2 “the best version on any console.”
EA took the stage at Sony’s E3 Press Conference and announced 2 Limited Edition versions of their upcoming blockbusters, exclusive to the PS3.
Medal of Honor will include a remastered version of the PS2 hit Medal of Honor: Frontline.
Dead Space 2 will come with the HD remastered Dead Space: Extraction (originally a Wii Exclusive) and will feature PlayStation Move support.
Medal of Honor is set to hit store shelves on October 12.
Mark your calendars, JUNE 15th 2010 is the big day!
Following up on a year of success for the PlayStation Brand, with products such as the PS3 Slim and PSP Go shipping out from Sony. With major exclusives such as Demon’s Souls, Heavy Rain, ModNation Racers and God of War 3 in gamer’s hands this past year. The recently announced KILLZONE 3,the upcoming GRAN TURISMO 5, SOCOM 4 and a slew of unannounced titles to be unveiled on June 15th.
Sony is preparing to wow us all as they did last year @ E3, with MAG and God of War 3 gameplay and the unveiling of PLAYSTATION MOVE .
2010 is the year of motion control and 3D gaming and Sony will be sure to make these 2 an integral part of their upcoming conference.
Expectations for the big show? Here’s our list:
- PSP 2 (is the world ready for the sequel to the PlayStation Portable?)
Premium PlayStation Network Service (Monthly or Annual Fee)
Video Store expanding to more regions. (maybe)
Killzone 3 – Gameplay (expected!)
Resistance 3 – (Announcement?)
Metal Gear Solid: Rising (Trailer? Gameplay?)
The Last Guardian (New Trailer? Gameplay?)
Final Fantasy XIV Online
inFAMOUS 2
A bunch of Casual “MOVE” games (expected)
New FirmWare update (Cross Game Voice Chat? expected to be part of premium service though)
PlayStation Home improvements (In home space music streaming? video sharing?)
Kevin Butler VP of E3 Conferencing? (PLEASE!!!!)
What do you expect for Sony to show us @ E3? Let us know in the comments!
Another totally funny advertisement from Sony’s VP of every and anything.
Based on the content of the video, I’d say there’s a possibility that Jerry Lambert,who plays Butler, may make an appearance at E32010. Tretton could use his presence in some form at the event to maybe surprise the crowd. Judging from the advertisment again, if there isn’t another advertisement with Butler on ‘Man Furismo Jive’ anytime between now and June 15th, he might just interrupt Mr. Yamauchi at the press conference!
Rockstar’s latest open-world game is the western themed Red Dead Redemption.
[America, early 1900's. The era of the cowboy is coming to an end.
When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is sent across the American frontier to help bring the rule of law. Experience intense gun battles, dramatic train robberies, bounty hunting and duels during a time of violent change.
Red Dead Redemption is an epic battle for survival in a beautiful open world as John Marston struggles to bury his blood-stained past, one man at a time.]
The game uses an open-world to tell its story similar to previous Rockstar games such as the popular Grand Theft Auto series. It has a fully working eco-system with about 40 different species of fauna to hunt and skin. The game has a ton of cool trophies and exclusive PS3 content, including rewards to unlock for PlayStation Home.
There is too much to be said about this game that I’ll just leave you to this launch trailer and some impressive game review sites. The game was released on the 18th May 2010.
(Also, if you haven’t been following the series of trailers Rockstar’s been releasing months prior to launch, check all of them here: Gametrailers.com).

After a day of frustration, rage and worry about today’s PSN crash, the network is finally back online.
Source: [PlayStation.Blog - PSN Restored]
On Sunday 28th February, the PSN became inaccessable and gamers were shown a 8001050F Error code display. A quick search of this code revealed that the entire world of PS3 users, excluding the PS3 Slim users, suffered a similar fate.
It was revealed that the error was caused by the fat-systems’ internal clock treating 2010 as a leap year.
More on this Major PSN Crash:[PlayStation.Blog - Latest Info On PSN Status]
During this temporary crisis, Sony announced that PS3 users must not use the console until after word of the fix or else…”or else” meant possible loss of data etc. I have just had experience of this “or else” but in a minor form which I will describe in the forums here.
So, yes Trinidad and Tobago…it should be safe to turn on your PS3 (but I take no account for anything that may happen =P).
Ok really, you may have gotten excited for some rain in T&T as we’re experiencing a drought, but something better than rain comes in the form of PS3 Exclusive “Heavy Rain”.
Heavy Rain is a breakthrough title bringing forth a new genre of games and a new way to interact with video games as an entertainment medium.
Where every decision in the game changes the story, where if you die the story continues and morph’s around your death, where emotion of the characters and decisions affect you emotionally, where hollywood cinema meets gaming…. We can go on and on praising this game in so many regards.
Clearly the reviews speak for themselves with Heavy Rain claiming many high review scores and many perfect.
Visit Metacritic for a summary of worldwide reviews: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/heavyrain
Also take a look at the UK region Television Ad for Heavy Rain that summarises the game o so well:
Sony and PlayStation continues to push boundaries for Gaming and finally after 3 years and a rocky first year start, PS3 is getting the recognition it so deserves.
With exclusives like Killzone 2, inFAMOUS, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, MAG, HEAVY RAIN, God of War Collection & God of War 3 to name a few and also multiplatform titles Bioshock 2, Dante’s Inferno, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, FINAL FANTASY XIII and Tekken 6, again naming a few, it is crystal clear which is the superior console and platform for gaming.
PS3 has gone on to win mega-tech-blog Engadget’s Console of the Year and User Voted Home Entertainment Device of the year.
PS3 in the ratings has also received the most high quality games of 2009 amongst any platform.
If in the market for a Console, there should be no thought process but PlayStation.
2010 will push PS3 beyond imagination with Sony’s introduction of the Motion Controller and the introduction of 3D gaming to the masses in an upcoming Firmware Update.
Additionally 2010 may also see the introduction of premium services to the PlayStation Network such as “Cloud Storage” of game saves (where your save files are sycned with Sony’s servers and if the console fails, can be recovered by downloading) amongst dozens of other features.
Playstation Network has also brought forward a free weekly TV show for its members in the form of The TESTER, which premiered on the Playstation Network last week.
With Heavy Rain to wet our appetite before March’s FINAL FANTASY XIII, and GOD OF WAR 3,
we ask this question:
HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU SPEND FOR THE GAMING THAT YOU LOVE?
Heavy Rain is in stores today in the US and select local stores. Expect Heavy Rain to be in most stores by next week.
This game is shaping up to be one of the most original, interactive-story experience this year and is due for release on February 23rd. It has similarities to a film-noir thriller and somehow reminds me of Silence of the Lambs.
The mall-scene gameplay above can only get you excited so much (and annoyed at ‘Jason’). That is why there is the news of a demo that will be released on the PSN come February 11th. The demo contains 2 chapters; one featuring FBI agent Norman Jayden attempting to track down the Origami Killer, the other on Scott Shelby, PI.

This past Thursday, the Playstation Store was updated with a free application called “adhocParty”. This is an amazing application that allows you to play PSP Games that don’t support online play….online! Ok so before I go further on how awesome this is, here’s what you need:
- A PSP System or PSPgo
- A PS3 with Built-in Wi-Fi (Sorry 20GB owners!!)
- The PS3 must be connected to the internet via Ethernet Cable and not via Wi-Fi (If you use wi-fi to game online, you can’t use adhocParty)
- An Ad-Hoc supported PSP Game such as Gran Turismo (PSP).
