Game Talks

The Playstation 4 which will be one of the hottest gaming console in the world is still years away from release. We do have hopes and wishes for it, some of them:

1. More Games
Every gamer will always want more and more game choices. PS4 needs to be easily developed in all things and that will make PS4 flooded with great games.

2. More RPG
This is my favorite genre. I love RPG since I played Final Fanstasy 7 from PS. The PS3 is lacking in RPG games and of course I hope PS4 will have many great RPG games.

3. Shorter Loading time
Sony needs to increase the capacity of RAM so that heavy games can load fast. We want more playing time and less waiting time.

4. Better Voice Chat

5. DualShock 4
DualShock is the best game controller out there. We hope that Sony change nothing for the new version of DualShock.

PS4 is surely going to be the hottest next generation gaming console, it will have the best graphic as Sony is working hard for that. PS4 will be an amazing entertainment system that will sell out quickly, so you will need to Pre Buy PS4 if you want to taste the hottest gaming console near the realease date.

Visceral Games, an Electronic Arts studio announced today that the award-winning Dead Space franchise will continue to frighten gamers with its new sequel, Dead Space 2.

Hero Isaac Clarke returns for another heart-pounding adventure, taking the fight to the Necromorphs in an action-horror experience. New tools to gruesomely slice and dismember the Necromorphs complement Isaac’s signature Plasma Cutter, empowering him as he meets new characters, explores epic Zero-G environments, and fights against a relentless necromorph onslaught. Survival isn’t the only thing on Isaac’s mind in Dead Space 2 – this time, he calls the shots.

“Like so many gamers worldwide, we love the Dead Space franchise and are very excited to announce a new game in the series,” said Nick Earl, Senior VP and Group General Manager at EA. “Visceral Games is quickly becoming known for delivering high-quality, action-packed games. Dead Space 2 is on target to deliver a jaw-dropping experience gamers won’t soon forget.”

“We’re thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac’s journey. The infection continues to spread throughout space and our hero Isaac Clarke is the only person able to contain it. There are still loads of necromorphs that need killing!” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2. “In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.”

Originally launched in 2008, Dead Space quickly became one of EA’s top rated wholly-owned intellectual properties. With close to 100 industry awards and an average critic score of 89, Dead Space became a hit with horror and videogame fans worldwide. In 2009, EA launched Dead Space Extraction, a prequel to the original Dead Space that expanded the fiction and brought the franchise to the Wii.

Dead Space 2 is being developed for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and on PC.

Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today a new and exclusive PlayStation 3 offering for the critically acclaimed God of War franchise, God of War Collection.

Scheduled for release this holiday season, God of War Collection will feature reworked versions of both God of War and God of War II on a single Blu-ray Disc at full 1280 x 720 resolution. Both critically acclaimed games, which were originally developed for the PlayStation 2, have been remastered with anti-aliased graphics running at 60 frames per second for a smooth gameplay experience on the PS3. Additionally, the Blu-ray Disc compilation will bring PlayStation Network trophy support to the franchise for the first time (included for both games). The compilation of both best-selling games costing just $39.99 MSRP.

Developed by Sony Computer Entertainment, Santa Monica Studio, the God of War series brings epic mythological battles to life with stunning graphics and an elaborate plot that puts Kratos, the triology’s main character, at the center of carnage and destruction as he seeks revenge against the Gods who have betrayed him. God of War III is scheduled for release exclusively on the PS3 in March 2010.

“We are excited today to announce God of War Collection,” said Scott Rohde, vice president, Worldwide Studios America. “Our fans spoke and we listened; thanks to our partnership with Bluepoint Games, fans and newcomers to the series can experience the epic God of War and God of War II saga in stunning 720p on PS3. This Blu-ray Disc compilation brings Kratos to PS3 even earlier than expected.”

The PlayStation 3’s more than just a gaming machine. It’s also a Bluray player and a media server. When used as such, the DualShock is passable, but hitting pause or rewind on a remote is easier for most people than fiddling with a gamepad. Unfortunately, most remotes don’t work with the PS3 natively. You’ve got two options though – you could go out and buy a new Bluetooth remote control for about $20-$30, or you could get the $60 Logitech Harmony Adapter for the PS3, provided you already own a Harmony remote. Ultimately it’s the price of convenience. You either add that new remote to the existing stack or make the console work with a universal Harmony remote.

Setting up the Harmony Adapter didn’t take too long. A quick tap of the button on the underside of the device had it synced with our PS3 in a few seconds. The trip to the computer to setup the Harmony remote itself took a little bit longer. Logitech would do well to simply include a Harmony Adapter device setting, instead you have to add a generic game console and call it the PlayStation 3. Minor quibble, but it would make setup that much easier.

Harmony remotes are well known for their ability to build out “activities”. Activities basically give you one button macros to watch TV or play a game. In a full home theater you’d be pressing more than a few buttons on at least two or three remotes to get to where you need to be, what with all the devices and inputs. With a properly setup activity, one button press turns on the PS3, the TV and the home theater receiver, while simultaneously choosing all the appropriate inputs. If you’ve used universal remotes before it sounds like a tall order, but Logitech’s software makes setting up activities relatively painless.

Within 15 minutes we had the PlayStation 3 integrated into the home theater setup with hardly a hiccup. The Harmony Adapter for the PlayStation 3 delivers exactly what it offers. You can’t really go wrong if you can stomach the cost.
