PlayStation 3s 2008 Lineup Includes Resistance 2 Buzz And One Little Big Hit In The Making MTV Music Television Golden Axe Beast Rider Is Polished Nice Softpedia

By Stephen Totilo LOS ANGELES If was the year the PlayStation got sand kicked in its face the conventional wisdom has been that gives the system a chance for revenge. So it was no surprise that a showcase of the biggest upcoming Sony published PS games in Los Angeles late last week was full of impressive games and . interactive art Anyone who bought a PlayStation and was still wondering what it s good for would have found playable answers on the top floor of the Roosevelt Hotel. They were a reminder that perhaps no other publisher presents as diverse a gaming lineup as Sony. Little Big Planet the cheerful opposite of so much of what Sony has impressed gamers with in the past was one star of the show. The side scrolling action game is cute and colorful an image of modern day Super Mario Bros. that distinguishes itself by making every element subject to user creation and manipulation. The October game is being pushed not as the definitive expression of developer Media Molecule s level design but of the definitive canvas upon which gamers can create their own video game objects and levels and then share them. Read more about just how far we learned LBP will let gamers go here. Media Molecule s game is a clear front runner for all kinds of gaming awards but for those who prefer their PS games to be darker more aggressive and oh yeah in three dimensions Sony showed its two marquee first person shooters Killzone and Resistance . The former was shown in single player and looks as good as the allegedly smoke and mirrors concept trailer shown at E in . It s a very gray game that takes place in a game world that looks as grittily detailed and well animated as last fall s benchmark Call of Duty . But the game has been a long time in the making and has been pushed to a February release clearing the way for Resistance . Resistance is a fairly gray post World War II humans vs. aliens shooter that was being showcased for its multiplayer features. The game will let players compete against each other dividing them into squads of about six and setting pairs of squads into rivalries. Developers at Insomniac Games were on hand to explain how it works and to attest to how much more they need to tweak things before the game s fall release. But the basic flow of the player sessions will involve the squads achieving the same objective capturing territory reinforcing some other group of players on the map and then competing to complete the goal. Multiplayer Resistance didn t exhibit the graphical detail or polish of Killzone but the ambition of player matches went over well with the reporters in attendance. Sony showed good range demonstrating the PS version of the big in Europe game show game Buzz. The new version comes with wireless game show buzzers and will allow players to compete online as well as write their own quizzes. The quiz question that popped up during an MTV News demo of the game was all about Zelda you know the Nintendo made series Sony has nothing to do with. Not far from Buzz was MotorStorm Pacific Rim a sequel to the original PS off road racing game now featuring monster trucks as an option against dune buggies motorcycles and tractor trailer cabs. But that s not really showing range. Showing range is having a back room that has a piece of seven minute interactive art called Linger in Shadows that allegedly brings the PS to its knees with its real time fur rendering and other advanced effects the first chapter of a downloadable episodic horror game called Siren Blood Curse and an unassuming but mobbed game station running a summer title called PixelJunk Eden. That last game is a D game that allows up to three players to hop little characters up a forest of slowly growing trees. It s all rendered in a techno style. The trees sprout neon stalks music thumps. And the characters can extend little strands of webbing so they can twirl around and hop to the next safe landing. Gameplay involves trying to trigger more branch sprouting and leaping higher and higher. MTV News wasn t the only outlet to go back to play seconds. The L.A. lineup of PS games also included September s multiplayer only SOCOM Confrontation. It did not include any third party games like the PS June exclusive Metal Gear Solid from Konami nor did it include NBA for PS even though the game was included in press materials as a fall system exclusive. Barring any surprises and assuming there will be few if Killzone has already been pushed to the PlayStation s lineup for the second half of appears to be strong diverse and quite possibly possessing a little big hit in the making.

GAMES Golden Axe Beast Rider Is Polished Nice And hopefully ready for launch ASAP By Calin Ciabai Games Editor Enlarge picture Some of you might still remember the great arcade PC title Golden Axe it was sure fun playing the title back then and it will probably be even more fun doing it now after so many years. Golden Axe Beast Rider is under development by Secret Level and it is set to be released sometime this year no specific dates have been given though for the Xbox and PlayStation consoles. It won t really be a remake but rather a re telling of the Golden Axe story players will only be able to control Amazon warrior Tyris Flare in her quest to defeat the Death Adder. The story is quite simple and predictable Tyris has lost all her loved ones to the evil Adder and now she wants revenge. Both magic and melee weapons will be available to you and the most important and interesting thing lots of massive beasts to mount and fight against. Golden Axe is one of our most treasured brands and is a complete re imagining of the story that will take gamers on an unforgettable journey said Scott A. Steinberg Vice President of Marketing SEGA of America Inc. The vision we have for the remake of Golden Axe is nothing short of remarkable and it can only be realized on the PLAYSTATION system and Xbox . The game already looks incredibly well and even though many of us will still feel the need of playing with that dwarf we had in the first game Tyris will sure manage to get a few fans in the world. And when we think about the fact that the developers have already polished a great huge single player campaign twelve hours of gameplay is what they call huge and some really cool realistic dismemberment we can only say that Golden Axe Beast Rider is a real hit already.
