Red Faction III headed to PS3

Filed under: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
An overdue second sequel to the ahead-of-its-time Red Faction has been mentioned during a recent investor-focused conference call. THQ's CEO, Brian Farrell, explicitly stated that Red Faction III is in development for the PS3 by THQ's Volition Studios, the same developers who produced the first two games. The series has been on hiatus since Red Faction II was released in 2003.
The two first games utilised "Geo Mod" technology to allow players to damage the environment in realtime - something that's almost taken for granted nowadays but that was revolutionary back in 2001. We have great memories of creating cubby-holes and sniper points deep in the walls and waiting for an unsuspecting opponent to saunter past. Needless to say, we're psyched that Red Faction III is in development, despite the lack of any real details or even an official announcement.

Gamecock is trying to capitalize on the popular internet meme in their upcoming XBLA game, Pirates Versus Ninjas Dodgeball. Although currently an XBLA exclusive, it looks like there's strong interest to bring the game over to the PSN. "Sony really wants this Pirates vs Ninjas game we're doing for Xbox Live and we're platform agnostic so if we're investing in a title let's give it a chance wherever there is one," Gamecock CEO Mike Wilson told [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
The PSN offers a number of unique opportunities for developers.

Analyst agrees with EA: 2008 is 'exceedingly strong' for PS3

Filed under: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] It's taking Sony's latest some time to build momentum. However, it's clear that 2008 will be a strong year for the PS3. Major publisher EA predicted not too long ago that Sony's system would actually outsell Xbox 360 this year, due to its popularity worldwide. Analyst Mike Hickey [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. "We expect PS3 unit sales will perform exceedingly strong in CY08, due to a recently reduced price point, killer content coming into the channel (GTA), and Blu-ray currently having a decided edge in the high definition format war," he said. He predicts the system will sell 5 million systems this year, which is within the range of EA's estimate. Obviously, a high price point, confusing HD format war, and small software library were all contributing factors to a sluggish start for PS3. However, now that all of these hurdles have been overcome, things are looking in Sony's favor, particularly due to the success of their last console. "Considering Sony has sold in excess of 120 million PS2 units globally, we anticipate the PS3 adoption rate could accelerate meaningfully in the coming years as the aforementioned issues are addressed and legacy PS2 players' accelerate their transition to current gen." Even if only a small fraction of PS2 owners make the transition to PS3, Sony will be rolling in the dough. We're confident that a lot of these casual PS2 owners will jump on the PS3 bandwagon over the long-haul.

The game hasn't even been released yet and already there's a lot of online controversy over [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] installation procedure. The game takes around 20 minutes to install about 5 gigabytes of data to your hard drive, during which there's a five-minute looping recap slideshow.

Kramer continues, "Wah! Have you ever played a PC game? At least we aren't making you shuffle multiple discs into a ROM drive, or continuously click 'Yes!' on a series of endless Windows dialog boxes." Wah, indeed! We agree completely with Kramer on this -- a twenty minute long installation sequence is not a big deal. It cuts down on load times, making it load faster than the 360 version despite the slower drive speed. Without the install, players would be complaining about lengthy load times. Which is better? That's a hypothetical question because we already know and, clearly, so does Capcom.

In an [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] the Managing Director of Sony Electronic Entertainment Australia, Michael Ephraim, was asked to comment on the ridiculous delays between releases on the PAL/Australian PSN versus the US/Japanese PSN. Ephraim confirmed that the issue was the fact that all content needs to be localized for all the European languages (no change there, we've known that for months). "We're in an online space, it's a global community," he says.
When pressed that "digital distribution is supposed to break down geographic barriers," Ephraim responds that "there are discussions and we have identified that. We have been very vocal about it and I think you will see an improvement over the next six months on this issue." Should we take this to mean that a global online store is coming within the next half a year? Not impossible, but let's be realistic - we'll probably see European content lag become much shorter within that time frame (or, hopefully, nonexistent) rather than an entire global PSN Store.
Doesn't mean we can't cross our fingers for one, right?

It seems that one minute, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] with Sony's console, and the other minute [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. Well, it looks like EA woke up on the right side of the bed this morning as it's still saying some pretty nice things about the PS3.
EA recently released estimates on how it believes this year's hardware sales will shape up in North America and Europe, and while it thinks the Wii will outsell everything, it pushed the PS3 past the Xbox 360, claiming a respectable second place. In total, EA says the PS3 will push 9.5 to 11 million units compared to only 6 to 8 million from the Xbox 360.
Moreover, according to EA's estimates, the PS3 will dominate the Xbox 360 in Europe, with the PS3 selling between 5 and 6 million units, and the Xbox 360 managing a paltry 1.5 to 2.5 million. We should all keep in mind, however, that these are just estimates and should by no means be taken as fact. But we did hear that some top EA execs had the Giants over the Patriots in the Super Bowl, so who knows?

Codemaster CEO: Don't dismiss Sony's ten year cycle

Maybe your particular console will only survive in that stuffy entertainment unit for six or so years, but Codemasters CEO Rod Cousens says [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. He strongly believes the cycle for the PS3 will last ten years and a strong ten years, at that. He feels momentum for Sony and the PS3 is building up, what with "killer apps" headed to the console in the next few years, Blu-ray's almost certain victory, and the success of the PS2 factors into his estimation as well.
He admits the PS3 is going to have an uphill battle in the US, where Microsoft has dug their trenches with the 360, but the European and Japanese market will begin to more readily accept the PS3 in the coming years. Speaking of the coming years, Cousens proposes that a Wii 2 (maybe renamed the Mii 2 just for funsies) will come out before a successor emerges for the PS3 or 360 -- the latter can be upgraded over the years, but won't be replaced. We hope the PS3 does make it through ten years. The PS2 is practically there and continues to hold a lineup of titles that aren't terrible. It's still the console to pick up for RPG fanatics everywhere.

Sony game division actually makes profit

Filed under: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] It's finally paying off. Sony's risky gamble with the PS3 is finally netting the Japanese electronics company some green.

According to the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], the typically loss-driven games division also generated some profit due to reduced production costs.
Still, Sony has had to lower its PS3 sales goal for the fiscal year ending in March from 11 million to a less lofty one of 9.5 million.

Sony's other system, PSP, is becoming increasingly important to the company -- its sales goal has been raised from 10 to 13 million units.
With further reductions to the cost of manufacturing, and an ever-increasing library of games and Blu-ray movies, it looks like things are finally looking up for the once-beleaguered company.
