Kommande spel- PS3

Chronicles of Riddick Remake på G till 360 och PS3 verkar det som:

Ask any hardcore Xbox fan to name a list of top first-person shooters and The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay will appear pretty near the top. Rumours of a next-gen remake have been doing the rounds for a few months now, but today official confirmation has come from UK industry weekly MCV.

Original developer Starbreeze is said to be at the helm of the remake, with the game itself going by the title The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Due on Xbox 360 and PS3, the new game will feature an extended single-player campaign, brand-new online multiplayer and a developer's commentary mode.

When Pro-G contacted Vivendi Games, an official source was unable to offer any more details, but confirmed that an announcement is coming soon.

Dumpar Doom 3 looken? Som jag förstått det ska det vara visuellt samma spel, med 50% mer singleplayercontent. Möjligen får det några grafiska touchar, men det är nog ingen ny motor.

Ja alltså plastiga ytor och överdriven hög kontrast. Spelet lär nog få sig en upsving grafiskt.

At the time of its press conference which has been just completed, Ubisoft confirmed that Haze, the FPS developed in the studios of Free Radical, will leave of exclusiveness on Playstation 3. For the moment, one indicates to us that it should be a question of a temporary exclusiveness. But it will be necessary to wait tomorrow to know some more on this subject. Concerning the play in itself, the developers came with a new trailer card, by explaining us the scenaristic screen: Mantel is a group which controls the world, as well the oil industry as of the pharmaceutical one. It also produces a very powerful drug. It is with the turn of that that this new very rythmée production envisaged at the end of the year will be articulated.

När flyg skickades in för att bomba så såg det ut som man vill, TJOCK rök, tack för det. Inte bara en stor orange-röd explosion som är borta efter 2 sekunder.

All that remains now is the long wait for October when Half-Life 2: Orange Box (hopefully) sees release on PC and 360. For PS3 owners, the wait will be even longer and possibly into 2008.

Update2: Just got a definitive confirmation that Haze is indeed PS3 exclusive for all territories.

Tydligen är det inte Valve som sköter utvecklingen utan något okänt engelskt team.

How is it to develop on PS3? What can you do with this console that you couldn’t do with previous-gen consoles?

[SE] It’s great. Working on PS3 has allowed us to create vastly superior environments that verge on photorealism – full-screen effects, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and obscenely complex shaders. Its more challenging than ever before, but the power is greater than anything else that’s out there.

men visst vore det kul om PS3 hade något att konkurrera med mot Halo 3 .

Visst, men man kan oftast inte låta bli att bli hypad hur mkt man än vill stå objektiv . Jag visste inte att Killzone skulle visas upp på E3, är detta officiellt? Det spelet borde vara väldigt tekniskt imponerande, jag menar de har en hel del press på sig efter CGI-gameplayfilmen som de släppte på E3 2005 (eller när det nu var). Detta är nog samtidigt det projekt som Sony stöder mest av alla spel som är på g just nu, den bilden har iaf jag fått.

Annars har Bungie ljugit

EA lär ju spotta ut ett nytt Need for Speed spel snart. Men då får det ta och bli ändring. Dem har kört med samma trista koncept senaste 3-4 spelen...hur f*n orkar dem? Det kan väl bli dygnstid som natt och dag, regn och snö. Inget kul att glida omkring i mörkret hela tiden...men det nya ska tydligen vara under ljusa dagen. Det tog tid för dem att inse!

- Kazunori coming at the job in a Porsche GT3  he has two Ford GT parked on the roof of the building.

- The studio can live in total autonomy if need be, in particular in the end of development of the game when the developers spend their time in the Polyphony's building : they have all, they have rooms (to sleep), a kitchen, a room of gym, rooms of relaxation (dvd, consoles, library, magazines), showers, washing machines… They receive also the majority of the automobile reviews published in the world.

- They use infos of the manufacturers to design the cars.

- Their very big server which is in a air-conditioned room, it would be the 4th biggest in Japan. It manages the whole of the data of the games of Polyphony.

- The studio is currently composed of 120 people. Staff get bigger with time, and nobody left the studio, all those which were there for the first GT are always present. Kazunori speaks about a true “family”.

- The guy of Joypad went to Polyphony with a French pilot who run in Super GT in Japan (he drives a Nissan), and who won Formula Nippon this year and which makes also "Les 24 Heures du Mans" (on a Pescarolo). He made a race against Kazunori, and Kazunori won (like against Loeb). Kazunori often invite Japanese pilots of Super GT in Polyphony's building, to make them test Gran Turismo and to have their opinion. The French pilot makes a reproach, for him it's difficult to feel the limit of braking. According to Kazunori, it is a problem involved in the current wheels which are not enough advanced to retranscribe this subtlety. According to the French pilot, GT is the best driving simulator on console.

- The guy of Joypad could test the game on the circuit of Nürburgring, but that it was not finished, it missed parts of the set. -

There are 4 “positions” of driving : two external views, hood view, and internal view.

- Kazunori could drive on the true circuit of Nürburgring last year, and he estimates that after having played his game he could find the same reference marks in reality.

- For Indianapolis… in fact, after having tested the circuit of Nürburgring, the guy of Joypad saw a black screen with incomprehensible Japanese lines, and the only word he could understand was "Indianapolis”. So : Indianapolis in GT5?

- For the next GT which will not be GT5. it would be just a version of GT4 in HD. “all GT4 will be downloadable in HD, but it will be necessary to download the circuits and the cars likely to interest you”. In fact, it's not clear, I wonder even if the journalist understood what Polyphony will do exactly with GT4 HD/GTHD Classic/Premium. GT4 HD would be the GTHD Classic about Polyphony had spoken 6 months ago. There will be in a sort of “GTHD Premium” too, which would be a GT 5 prologue with 2 circuits and about thirty cars, and the real GT5 graphics.


What we learn in the interview:

- I pretty sure the guy of Joypad was received by Kazunori at the same time as the team of Turbo (french TV, they had the interior of 300SL and the information : interior views for every cars of GT5).

- Kazunori says something interesting: about the cars of GT: “some of them are claimed by the manufacturers, but the majority of the vehicles of the game are personal choices”. In fact, the manufacturers must impose models of car (like family cars) because it's a good advertising , and there are maybe even negociations (“you include these small family car and we let you include this top model or this concept car”).

- At the beginning, Polyphony was called “the team Yamauchi”, it was a small division integrated into Sony. They became Polyphony DIGITAL in 1998.

- Yamauchi confirms that they are 120 people today at Polyphony. When they began the development of the first GT in 1992 (!), they were 7 and they spent 5 years to finish the game.

- Yamauchi dreams about creating a Formula 1 game, according to him it would be a game very different from what still exists. Unfortunately, according to him this type of game costs to much money and there are too many stakes with FIA.

- The car he preferred in the GT is the Nissan Skyline GTR. The better car in the game (better graphics and modelisation, and better technichaly) “is without question Nissan 350Z Nismo Super GT”.

- He does not know other games than Gran Turismo, so what he does not admire any other creator of games (by ignorance). The only game he noticed, it is LittleBigPlanet ("different", "original").

- There will be a game between GT4 and GT5 but they do not have a name yet. We will be able to download cars when there are update (he says : "it will be possible to make updates of cars")... And he thinks it will be possible to download cars when there will be new models. (he does not speak about downloading the 750 cars of the game !).

- All the Ferrari range will be present, and they're trying to have Porsche and Lamborgini, but as long as it is not signed he cannot answer positively (let us cross the fingers).

- About new circuits : there will be traditional race circuits (like Nürburgring) + 1 or 2 circuits in town.

- The Drift mode will be very important in GT5. (japanese gamers really like it)

- Astonishing, he says that it will be possible to go online and see the other gamers connected driving and trying to make their best time, we could also be seen by other gamers when we drive (the spectator mode).

- About GTHD demo, he says that Europeans are very strong (), he sees very less American people in the classifications of best times…  
- There will be always driver's license in the next GT.

- About F1 cars, there is a problem of rights, to make a F1 game you need to pay the FOM (Formula One Managment) and they ask a lot of money. However we will find true F1 in GT5, like old Ferrari F1 or like F1 of manufacturers who still are present in the game (Mercedes, Lotus).

Tänkte på att det säkerligen är byggt på samma motor som Tekken 6. Är Soul Calibur en 360/PS3-titel så dröjer det inte länge innan Tekken 6 också kommer till 360 IMO.

The latest PSM magazine scored an interview with Sucker Punch who had this to say about Sly Cooper 4:

"The graphics have been majorly overhauled and the gameplay will be more varied and focused this time around. We're aiming for a fully interactive 3-d world, with no loads and seamless interaction between settings and characters."

But here's the rub. Sony and PSM (USA branch) both deny that the interview happened.

"Yeah, it's not us," commented PSM Editor-in-Chief, Rob Smith. "It must be a PSM in Europe somewhere."

Sony Computer Entertainment PR Manager Jennifer Clark added, "There have been no announcements made in regards to future Sly Cooper products and there are no plans for the franchise to appear at this year's E3. Any information that has recently been reported is pure rumor and speculation."

KillzoneUnit.com has managed to set up a Q&A session with Sebastian “motherH” Downie of Guerrilla Games. We talk about the company and of Killzone. Pull up a chair and enjoy.

Tell us about Guerrilla Games and what your role is there?

Currently I am Test Lead/QA Manager and I just finished a tour of duty as Producer on Killzone: Liberation.

Since the acquisition by Sony, has anything changed in the everyday office life for GG employees?

I keep waiting for something to happen. Something big to change. Some big event where the big corporate mothership flexes its muscles, but it never comes. We still work with a lot of the same Sony people we worked with before the acquisition and other than some slight procedural changes here and there I don’t think much has changed. If anything I think we have matured a bit as a company since then and it has opened a couple more doors for us in terms of technology and resource sharing and getting into the better parties. So no, not much at all.

Moving on to Killzone, briefly, how would you describe the franchise to gamers who aren’t familiar with it?

A First Person shooter set in an alternative future interplanetary war, where the lines between good and evil are very thin, and the guns are very big. Or something. I am never very good at this stuff.

When the Killzone series moved to the PSP, many fans were surprised to see the transition from FPS to an isometric gameplay view. Were there any major differences between developing Killzone for the PS2 and the PSP?

You could say that. We decided we needed to have a good blend on short action that the player could jump into and keep going at any time, mixed with a narrative and player progression. So pick-up and play was very important to us. This covers the casual gamer base that might pull out their PSP when commuting or on the toilet (I know you do it!) and the guys who will quite happily play for 4 hours straight.
One thing our artists had to do was relearn working on that kind of scale. They had gotten too used to their high-detail, polygon chewing ways of Killzone 1 and needed to scale back down a bit to make it work for the camera angle, but they did a cracking job on keeping the Killzone style while making it one of the best looking PSP games out there. As for the camera angle itself, it makes the game a little more tactical as it allows the player more of an overview of the area ahead so he can plan ahead a bit more.

Amongst many fans of the series, there seems to be a little debate on whether Killzone Liberation was a direct sequel to Killzone, or a spin-off. Where exactly does Killzone Liberation sit within the series?

I think the best way to describe it is a branch within the timeline. It is dangerous to try and stick to one giant narrative that spans through many games and stick to it religiously.
The story has to be vague and unrelated enough to invite newcomers to the series without confusing the hell out of them, while still giving the fans of the previous game something to go on. So is it a sequel? Who really cares? It’s a bloody good game.

Chapter 5 and the online patch for Killzone Liberation have been very well received. Are there any more plans to support Liberation with other patches or download content?

Currently no. The reasons are twofold.
1. With the patch and content being a free download, we risked a lot financially. Having a whole development team on free content for as many months is not cheap at all. Each day costs thousands of $ in overheads, wages and whatnot and no company can sustain that indefinitely.
2. We have a big fat PS3 game we have to work on. It is all hands on deck for this.

We’ve noticed that GG is constantly looking for new talent. Is most of the original Killzone(PS2) development team still around?

A good chunk still are. I think all of the Leads are still here as is management. There have been a lot of comings and goings, but yeah, there are still a lot of folks from the early days here.

E3 is very near and the gaming world is anticipating news of Killzone PS3. What’s the vibe like at GG as you all prepare? Stressed, excited?

Bit of everything. Excitement with an underlying: “OH MY GOD WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!” I am sure there are a hundred developers around the globe feeling the same way right now though. Everyone wants their game to play look and sound perfectly when the public first get to see it. If you are working on an AAA Next Gen beast of a game or something for mobile phones you want to make a good impression on people. And if you have the baggage that we have we have to give it that extra little bit. Hopefully it will all go brilliantly and we’ll shut up even some of the most ardent critics.

Our readers would never forgive us if we didn’t ask, but is there anything at all that you can tell us about the next Killzone title? (even if it’s a ‘no comment’, haha)

Erm… hmmm… let me see. Well it has Online. I can’t say anything about it though. There will be a Public Beta, but not till later in the year. It will be a FPS, but I guess you figured that out by now… Phew. There really is absolutely nothing I can actually talk about. Oh well. See you at E3!

Who are your favorite ISA and Helghast characters?

Private Billinghurst from Killzone 1. He is like the starboard-gunner in the first Star Wars. His actions set in motion changes in the entire universe. He is really the lynchpin of the whole story. Is he an angel? A demon? Or just a man doing his job? Maybe we will never know.

The Helghast- evil or just misunderstood?

Evil is such a strong term. Are the Helghast 100% and the ISA 100% Good? I don’t think so. It is easy to romanticize one faction as the ultimate evil. Bad guys always wear black etc. I think they just need a hug. We are all family after all.

Thanks a lot for your time and we look forward to the future of Killzone.

Any time. Quote me out of context and I will hunt you down like a dog.
