From Software has created a new genre mixing game for the PS3 blending the old school art-style of 8-bit pixel graphics with 3d Technology.
In Game Cutscenes
I wonder how many still remember the 1st Kingdom Under Fire games for the PC and XBOX? Here is an update on Kingdom Under Fire II from the developers that also created the N3 game for Q? on XBOX 360 which was sort of a spiritual successor to KUF. So far I am impressed with the graphics engine used for the real-time cutscenes. Check out some of the screenshots here.
Gameplay Part 2
Seems CAPCOM has released a new trailer for Street Fighter IV (SFIV) detailing events after SFII featuring our young spunky character Sakura. In this trailer she faces off Zangeif and it goes into a little bit of her back-story of her school days with her classmates and her instructor Dan who provides a little comedic relief with Blanka.
It ends off with her talking about her dreams and her taking a liking to Ryu which she holds on to his picture at the press conference.

A new trailer for the upcoming PS3 game from Namco Bandai. I recently saw a Giant Gundam 3d statue which has invaded the Japanese PS3 Home. The offcial website has also been updated with new info characters and mecha. I really like that the cutscenes are still kept to an anime style. Looking forward to this game as it could be one of the better Gundam games on the PS3. The Game comes out 2009.9.3 so mark your calendar for this game.

I finally hunkered down to buy this game after a long wait. Read the rest of this entry »
Team ICO’s Project Trico is now “The Last Guardian”. The trailer is the same as the beta footage that was leaked but with more spiced up graphics on the PS3.
Quite the surprise from SQUARE-ENIX after last year FINAL FANTASY XIII Bombshell this time they give the PS3 a lot more love with this new MMO coming to the PLAYSTATION 3 console and pc named FINAL FANTASY XIV.
Final Fantasy XIII was demoed at the MS press conference running on the xbox360 build. So far Lighting and the Afro dude sounds cool. A summon of Odin was shown at the end, but I know I am going to play this on a PS3 instead.
Looks like this revision of the game is set to make me want to play with Ryu, Rachael and Ayane on the PS3 again. 1UP has a nice interview with producer, Yousuke Hayashi here.
Qruton (Numblast in the West) Looks like an interesting numbers puzzle game from the PlayStation Japan Studios. The offcial japanese sites seems to be updated with a nice little manga.
The goal of Qruton is to clear numbered blocks by rotating numbered blocks to make a 2 x 2 square of 1s, 2s, 3s or 4s. Squares with the same number act as starting points for chain combos. When the blocks count up you can match different blocks and potentially clear the board as shown in this video.
Looks like this is an early beta footage of the upcoming PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive from Team ICO (Helmed by Game Designer Fumito Ueda) makers of ICO and Shadow of the Colossus. It seems like an extension of SOTC and ICO where Characters and Giants interact with each other except its for them to work together to solve puzzles.
