L.A Noir looks amazing! I saw a preview ages ago and it really appealed to me. Those old detective films really appeal so I'm looking forward to seeing this game. It looks unique.

Recently read that sony have ceased production of it's developer tools for the PSP.

That can only mean 1 thing.

Work has already started on the creation of a new PSP (and I don't mean a crap money spinner like PSPGo).

Expect to see the PSP2 (or whatever it gets named) sometime in the new year :)

That sucks man. No matter how beefed up and ninjafied they make raiden, we all know he's just lame.

Solid Snake rules!

I haven't played that for over a year now,
so no idea what changed...

Red Faction: Armageddon is coming out in May 011
or rather will be going underground.
The sequel to the awesome Red Faction: Guerilla is set some years after the events of it, the planet surface is now ravaged as the terraforming machine is destroyed. so the humans are elow the surface.
Salvage is still the currency, destruction is still the game, but the nano rifle has morphed into the nanoforge an item that lets you fix and convert damaged buildings, you can upgrade it to destroy things later.
Syfy is also releasing a Direct to TV movie, set between Guerilla and Armageddon with Alec mason's son the star looking fo his lost sister when soldiers attack.

yeah Mk is awesome was thinking about getting MK vs. DC, but my mate said it was toned down! It would be awesome if they released MK:armageddon on PS3 like they have for God of War 1 and 2. Anyway they say MK 9 shall be more bloodier and has a release date for christmas 010, but I think it will be pushed back to early 011.

And Killzone 3 is kinda confirmed to be made, though it wasn't featured at the last E3, but was told by a guy I know who works at a game shop that it will be released halfway through the year if they pull their finger out(aka: hurry up).

And they said they are going to make a new Metal Gear Solid game but with Raiden as the main character called MGS: Rising. It will probably be about his transformation from a rookie soldier to a ninja cyborg, thats my guess anyway.

Quirk

Looks like Killzone 3's release date might have been moved up to feb 011

Also Mortal Kombat will return to it's 2D origins, not sure how it will work, but the story is replaying the first three games. But it starts as Raiden about to die, so he sends a message to himself in MK1 and that Raideb then changes the course of history so different things happen then in the original games?confusing kinda
Anyway heres a link for more info

Doesn't matter to me. I;m going to wait til they are platinum and will be cheaper, I don't have the dosh for new games!

The new starwars unleashed game is set to be released soon, oh and when is that new Metal Gear game coming out? I love that series and hope that they give snake another mission, either in the past or with a suit from Otacon, those guys are good for their humour. It would be cool to have a mission as Otacon. Oh and I think I heard some where that there might be a new uncharted game with Nathan Drake

This is the blurb on jbhifionline.com.au

[FONT=Arial]Put on your shades and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history; this is his legend.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial]Features:
Return of the King of All Shooters: He's back, baby! The King of All Shooters returns in an explosive and action packed shooter that puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Kick ass from the Vegas Strip to the Hoover Dam all while serenading your ears with your favorite Duke-isms.
Interact With the World, the Duke Way: Experience a fully interactive and immersive look into Duke's world. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on white boards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names.
Kick-Ass Arsenal Puts the F-U Into Fun: Obliterate enemies in style while giving them the Duke Nukem one finger salute. Prepare to shoot enemies in the face with a bad-ass assortment of shotguns, RPGs, pipe bombs and other trademark Duke Nukem tools of destruction. That's going to leave a mess! [/FONT]
Comes out in Aussie 6th - May - 2011
As an old school Duke fan I am quite looking forward to this, I will wait til I hear and see more of it to see if they give Duke the service he deserves and if you played the old games you know that can be taken in an adult manner.

Panasonic is releasing a portable game system to combat the PSP, kinda. The Jungle will focus only on MMO's and online play.
Here is some info from a proper source, includes images and a add for the Jungle

No release date on Metal Gear Solid: Rising yet, but they have pretty much confirmed that Snake isn't going to be a star of a game anymore.

Another game that looks really sweet. from same source
[FONT=Arial]You play Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT specialist who's been handpicked to oversee the defensive needs of one of America's most experimental biotechnology firms. Your job is to safeguard company secrets, but when a black ops team breaks in and kills the very scientists you were hired to protect, everything you thought you knew about your job changes. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Badly wounded during the attack, you have no choice but to become mechanically augmented and you soon find yourself chasing down leads all over the world, never knowing who you can trust. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]At a time when scientific advancements are turning athletes, soldiers and spies into super enhanced beings, someone is working very hard to ensure mankind's evolution follows a particular path.You need to discover where that path lies. Because when all is said and done, the decisions you take, and the choices you make, will be the only things that can change it.[/FONT]
It is out in early 2011, but who knows really when as it has been pushed back before. I really like the premise of this game, if the mechanics and gameplay stack up then it will be sweet. I am hoping for really powerful augmented limbs.

And don't forget that he can clean cut an enemy in half. I've seen some game play from reviews of it at E3 and it looks like you drag a cursor thing across to plan the cut and you can cut them into quarters aswell. picture here File:Metal Gear Rising Raiden Gameplay.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I agree with asymmetric, Raiden needs a backstory and some worldweary experience so he can be snarky and amusing like Snake was.
They have also changed the tagline to Lightning Bolt Action, so it sounds like we will be making fast brutal attacks. But it does have a stealth factor, otherwise it won't be a Metal Gear Solid game.

Looks really sweet ans I might actually buy it within 3 months of the release date.

From what I read, you can perform non-lethal takedowns. Also when you cut enemies, there is a system or ideology, cut and take(zan-datsu). When you cut, you take. So if you cut a enemy in a certain way, you get that, or if cut differently you get this.
You can also cut parts of the environment, like pillars to collapse enemy positions or to hack away enemy cover.
There is also a mode to slow down time and be precise about your cuts. You can take items, health, weapons, info and some others from your enemies.
Like asymmetric said, there is a morality factor and that will no doubt affect the endings/reactions from others. Like all the other games it is possible to go through with no or little kills.
I always fell into the trap in MGS4 of shooting heaps of people. Hangs head in shame, oh! so sorry VR room, I have failed you! (MGS1 ref)

Also Vanquish is coming out soon and it looks interesting, though the story of bad old russians attacking the innocent US, is a little tiresome

Quirk

True that dude. I am waiting for Killzone 3 for my kicks, looks fricken sweet. Am also wanting to know more about the new Mortal Kombat game. The devs said it would be more of a throwback to when the games were actually good, here's hoping the bring back the proper fatalities and blood. I think both these games come out early next year.

Quirk

Ladies and gentlemen Time Crisis: Razing Storm is coming out, Yeah! It is three games, yes three games from the series and you can either use the move controllers or Guncon to play. I remember Time Crisis 4 and that was sweet, this may actually make me but into motion controlling. Anyway it is a fast paced shooter on rails, that is, you can't move on til every enemy is dead.
Time Crisis: Razing Storm is set in South america in a bloody coup, where you try to get the rebel leader cos he attacked the US.
Time Crisis 4: Remake of the orginal with the weird insect weapons
Time Crisis Pirates: Your given bullets that never run out and a navigation system.
Just thought I'd let people who don't know, know.

Quirk

Sorry dude, PS3 only, sucks I know. But I will keep an eye out for any games similar for the PC.
I'll add your q here wolf. It is both. I think some modes will be where you have a go then a mate next to you trys to beat that score and so on. then there will be the normal mode, completely offline, just you against the AI, and of course there will be online, but I think that is just the cherry on top. Somrthing which is good if you have good internet (not me) but doesn't really matter if you don't get it.

Mortal Kombat is coming out in April 19th and 20th around the world.
This game uses the same engine as Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe but is now only in 2D, so everything is able to run much faster.
The characters are in 3D, but you can only move in 2D.
There are over 20 characters confirmed, they say that pretty much most characters from the first three games will be there.
The story is Raiden about to be killed, sends a message back to his self in the first game, who doesn't know what it is, but knows it is bad.
So it pretty much the first three games but Raiden changes events, fatalities are back and every character has two, there are more bonuses, the Krypt is back and there is a more intergrated story.
SO I want this very much
They also say that the controls have changed so that each button corresponds to a limb, like Tekken.
There are heaps more features, to many to mention, this game is going to cover me in gore. That means I want it bad.

Quirk

Well the world has gone to the dogs.
Can't get Mortal Kombat 9 here, because it is banned, Duke Nukem will most likely be banned all beacuse of one stupid idiot who believes that giving a R18 rating will allow children access to violent games just like the over 18 laws for booze and cigs has geiven children easy access to them.
Now I am going away to nurse my rage and practice my dancing so when he dies I can do the tango on his grave.
