Motorstorm 2 is due out in time for Christmas and moves the action away from the desert locale of the original. Gamers will be able to race around a lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation. The game will feature four-player split-screen action

So what will Resistance 2 offer? I was shown only a trailer but it's clear developers Insomniac want to make a statement. Online the game will host 60 players simultaneously.
It screams epic and tellingly it concludes with the line: "You haven't seen what we are truly capable of."

So what else was I shown? Well, I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy. Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the console will be capable of.
In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved.
I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless.
If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.

in a lengthy interview with PlayStation World, Nippon Ichi Software's Souhei Niikawa talked about Disgaea 3 and his company's plan for the future. The 34-year old native of Osaka, who serves as head of the company's development division, has overseen the development of Disgaea 3 in his role as the game's producer. Since Disgaea 3 was the company's first PlayStation 3 project, it took developers some time to get used to the new hardware. According to Niikawa, seven months were spent doing basic research. Afterwards, development of the actual game took less than a year, though. Nippon Ichi Software wanted to release its first PlayStation 3 title about a year after the system's launch to get used to the new development environment. Niikawa acknowledged that PlayStation 2-based development would have been smoother, but emphasized the importance of getting used to the new high-spec hardware early on.
Currently, Nippon Ichi Software was working on various adventure titles. The company apparently is also thinking about expanding into genres other than RPGs and adventure games. Last but not least, Niikawa asked fans to look forward to the announcement of various new titles for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable in the future.

Disgaea 3 has been available in Japan since January 31st. During the first two weeks since its release, it has sold about 70,000 copies.

Phil Harrison va quitter Sony le 29 février prochain. Le président de Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios va ainsi démissionner de son poste, lequel sera repris par Kazuo Hirai qui l'occupera en plus de sa fonction actuelle de président de Sony Computer Entertainment. Phil Harrison était arrivé dans la société en 1992. Très impliqué dans le projet PlayStation Home notamment, il avait admis il y a quelques jours "des frustrations" par rapport à la division japonaise de Sony, trop lente à son goût pour s'adapter au phénomène du social gaming, un marché aujourd'hui largement dominé par la Wii. Selon certaines sources, Harrison pourrait rejoindre Atari prochainement.
