there, we'll need to get feedback from the people who are playing it,
and if need be make a few adjustments and tweaks.

The European PlayStation blog
has recently posted a belated interview from Gamescom with Hideo
Kojima. Responding to questions from the community regarding a
possible update to the popular mech space-opera series, Zone of Enders,
Kojima-san suggested that a sequel is certainly on the cards.

"A
lot of the users gives us lots of love calls about Zone of the Enders
especially," Kojima-san told the PS blog. "We actually do love the
tile as well at Kojima Productions and we always want to create on the
next-gen as well."

It'll be no big surprise to most of you, but SEGA and Obsidian has
confirmed a delay for Alpha Protocol that will push the title from its
previous autumn 2009 release window into spring 2010.

This
follows reports from last month (citing an alleged SEGA document) that
a Sony product evaluator said the game, "felt barely RPG," with an
initial level that was, "too challenging for players," and that "Mass
Effect felt more RPG".

"Alpha Protocol is a new take on the RPG
genre and from day one the team has been...

Despite Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi assurances that Gran
Turismo 5 is ready for release, we still have nothing firmer than an
early 2010 release date. Perhaps the reasons behind such a wait are
due to the manufacturing time needed to produce the three blu-ray discs
that seem to be included in the final version.

In a promotional
video for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG which features in the game
(embedded below), Yamauchi-san clearly wields a package that contains
space for three discs. Now we're not suggesting the game is so huge
that it...

Siliconera recently uncovered a patent for a mysterious Sony hand held controller, and when we went looking we discovered several different variations.
The embedded images are from three different patents that we
unearthed, each it seems variations on the standard concept of a
controller that's not too dissimilar to the Wii Remote. It lacks the
unnamed motion controller's essential orb (pictured below), so either
Sony has managed to make this a little more subtle than the prototype
design or it's a controller for something else entirely.

Unfortunately there's...

The Lead Producer on Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed II, Sébastien
Puel has revealed to GamingLargest that the studio is interested in bringing a
multiplayer component to the Assassin's Creed universe at some point.

When
we asked Puel whether he could see a future Assassin's Creed game
featuring co-op or multiplayer modes, he told us that, "This is
something that does interest us."

"Assassin's Creed had a really
strong core gameplay and for Assassin's Creed II we really wanted to
nail the depth of gameplay," Puel continued....

grounds to the higher tech. surroundings of Sony and Microsoft's
current-gen consoles.

Following a leaked video that emerged over the weekend, Infinity Ward's community man, Robert Bowling has now confirmed that gamers

wanted to make sure our all our players have the best understanding of
how Battlefield will be played on the PC," said DICE Producer, Gordon
Van Dyke. "Since Battlefield 1942 DICE has used dedicated...

Episodes From Liberty City Hints At GTA V? News

So we're the type of gamers that don't spend two seconds on game
manuals. By the time we've ripped open the packaging, the disc is
already spinning in the drive and there's no time for inconsequential
activities such as reading.

But sometimes such an overlook can be costly.

When
Episodes From Liberty City arrived earlier in the week we paid little
attention to the manual; we know how to play GTA by now. But for those
who actually went to the effort of looking, a little...

Despite the dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of moves available per pugilist, intricate juggle combos, complex counters, and esoteric gameplay quirks that have evolved through five prequels, Tekken 6 is an altogether welcoming fighting game. For veterans, the game offers the most comprehensive roster in the history of the series, a new way to extend damaging combos, and enough change to--whilst not exactly feeling brand new--make it feel exciting to play Tekken again. For newcomers, the game's comprehensive training modes and expansive single-player beat-'em-up campaign serve as an enticing gateway...
