As E3 approaches it seems like there is a new rumor born every day. Some of the rumors have even been proven true within the past couple days like the PSP Go!. However, with Microsoft silent for most of the year there is some speculation that the company will be dropping a bombshell at E3 this year. There are a few crazy rumors flying around regarding Sony as well.
Rumors of a new Metal Gear Solid game have been flying all over the Web. Kojima’s teaser page didn’t help quell speculation as it shows a image of Big Boss and Raiden. However, today Sony has confirmed (indirectly) big news about the PSP Go! and the next Metal Gear Solid game.
DJ Hero had been rumored for months before it was finally confirmed earlier this month. Forget your fake guitars and drums, now it’s time for turntablists to get their chance to shine. And heavy-hitters in the shape of Eminem and Jay-Z are on board to provide the tunes. This one even has me excited. Which is rare.
There is very little doubt that all next-gen consoles (Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii) have their share of good games as well as not-so-good games. However, the debate has raged on for some time as to which console has better quality games overall. To settle this debate a research firm has released a report indicating that the PS3 has the highest percentage of quality games.
Think the next-gen consoles or Wii 2, PS4, and Xbox 720 are too far away from release to worry about? Think again. Ubisoft has revealed it’s already working on the next-gen machines, which must mean they’re closer than we previously thought.
Microsoft discretely put up a job posting looking for a server developer with strong experience to work on creating an infrastructure capable of handling 300,000 players online. The project reeks of the canned Halo MMO project Ensemble was working on before getting the axe.
Microsoft recently revealed the new Zune HD as the successor to the existing Zune music device. The device comes with a super crystal clear OLED screen that has the capability to output 720p. Hints given by Microsoft indicate that there is more to the Zune HD than just another touch-screen MP3 player. All clues indicate the Zune HD taking on the handheld (PSP2 and DS) market.
E3 2009 is almost upon us. I can almost smell the excitement coming from some of you. While all eyes will be firmly fixed on Sony and Microsoft, let’s not forget that Nintendo will also be in attendance. What is Ninty going to pull out of the bag this year? Will the big guns of Mario and Zelda be brought out or will it be more of the casual gamer fare the company has served up in recent years?
Microsoft has been practically dead silent all year long, announcing very little. However, speculation around a new motion sensing controller and camera has been rampant across the Web. Also, very little has been revealed regarding the Xbox 360’s lineup this year. Many are speculating that Microsoft may be saving all of its announcements for E3.
Heavy Rain, the PS3 exclusive from Quantic Dream, was officially unveiled at the 2008 Leipzig Games Convention last August. A 2009 release has always been assumed, and comments from Sony have strengthened those assumptions, but it seems this is now not going to happen, with the game finally seeing the light of day in 2010. At least if you believe Gametrailers.
