Hints of GTAIV DLC coming to PS3
Posted by Darrin in Grand Theft Auto 4 on October 29th, 2009
ps3center reports that a local radio show, “Cousin Ed & Dima”, was nagging a Rockstar rep about a PS3 release of the GTA4 DLC and the response was:
“I don’t know entirely what I can talk about, but it’s on Xbox. Microsoft came to us and said ‘hey here is some money if you can bring the content to us FIRST”
The rep could have simply misspoke, but clearly it sounds like he inadvertently slipped that it definitely is a timed exclusive. As is always the case, they generally aren’t allowed to publically say so.
Even without this tidbit, it was already a very safe bet. Historically Rockstar always ports their “exclusive” games to other platforms eventually and historically Microsoft’s “exclusive” third-party deals are almost always timed-exclusives.
The other point is that there is so much of this type of content available. Rockstar’s next big full-release (not just an expansion) GTA/Bully like game is Red Dead Redemption, which looks absolutely amazing and is fully cross-platform on day one. Plus there is Chinatown Wars this year on DS, PSP, and soon the iPhone, and an explosion of quality GTA-style action games (Infamous, Red Faction, Prototype are on PS3) that fans of the genre have plenty to keep themselves entertained…

Join me tonight in my DeadQuarters space for Free Zombie Items
Posted by T0SH in Community, PlayStation Home on October 29th, 2009
I am actually busy tonight. I need to finish my Halloween costume and I’m taking my mom out to dinner for her Birthday. But I’ll sign into Home and hang out in my DeadQuarters space. I will sign on around 5:30 p.m. MT(Mountain Time) and leave it on until say .. 8 p.m. or whenever I get back.
So if you want free Zombie Home Items come join me tonight. Once you enter my DeadQuarters space you should have the items added to your inventory shortly after.
If your not on my friends list, leave a comment here with your PSN ID. If you can’t make it tonight, I might be able to jump on again tomorrow for a bit.
Hugh Jackman starring in Uncharted film?
Posted by T0SH in Uncharted Movie on October 29th, 2009
The voice of Nathan Drake (Nolan North) has hinted that he would like to see Hugh Jackman play the part of Nathan Drake in the upcoming movie. Supposedly Hugh Jackman is the front-runner for the part. Could you see Wolverine .. I mean Hugh play Nathan? I could see it if he did his own stunts.
“Jackman is who I’d like to see. I think the producers would like to see Jackman too, because he has that tough guy exterior, but [...] there’s also a lot going on behind his eyes. A lot of emotion and sensitivity on that brusque exterior, and he has great comic timing. He’s a phenomenal actor. I just hope I get a part on the movie so I can work with Hugh.”
Assassin’s Creed: Lineage Part 1
Posted by Jay in Assassin's Creed II, Off-Topic, Talk on October 28th, 2009
I’m surprised this didn’t get posted on here yet. Anyway, Lineage is a prequel to the upcoming game Assassin’s Creed II, following the story behind Ezio’s (the main character of ACII) father, Giovanni Auditiore de Firenze. The plot is as follows (from Wikipedia):
Giovanni is an assassin living during the Renaissance in 15th century Italy. At this dawn of a new era, a conspiracy is being plotted by one corrupted family to overthrow the powerful Medici family and destroy an unified Italy. As an assassin, Giovanni must face this threat and bring justice.
The short movie itself has an art style similar to 300 in a way. The actors (who did actual voice work and motion capture for the game) performed on a green screen (at Hybride Technologies, where 300 and Sin City had their green screen work done, which had been acquired by Ubisoft in 2008), and all the assets in the film were apparently directly from the game, with a few set pieces here and there that had a few tweaks done to their geometry and had a little texture work. It’s looking pretty good and can’t wait for the future parts.
