Mass Effect 2 To Be Best Played On PS3?

People will always have their own opinion. Some will say that it is best played on the PC, and some will say its best played on the Xbox 360. Well it seems that it will be best played on the PS3! You will get a bunch of free DLC, and plus you get to play the game on Mass Effect 3's engine! Here is what Jesse Houston (producer) had to say about this.



“One of the first things you’re going to see is improved graphics. We actually created the engine for Mass Effect 3 and used that to make Mass Effect 2 PS3. So we took the content, the story and all of the other assets that made up Mass Effect 2 and we put it into the Mass Effect 3 engine. We've also gone ahead and made the experience much more solid on PS3,” he added. ” So for example the controls are geared towards the PS3 controller [although] you can switch it back to the old Xbox [layout] if you like. Other things like planet scanning have been improved; we’ve rolled up all of the patches; done a whole bunch of bug fixing.”

Uncharted 3 To Take Place In The Desert?

Uncharted 1 and 2 were amazing. Theres no denying that, and if you didnt like them, not even one bit, then you are in denial. Now, an inside source that spoke with Kotaku has leaked some info that Uncharted 3 will take place in the desert. Now, a third Uncharted is no surprise considering the success that 1 and 2 were. I'm just wondering as to what Naughty Dog will be able to do in the desert.

The past two titles were critically acclaimed because of their breathtaking visuals and lush environments, but its the desert. Theres not much in the desert. Will they be able to turn make another visually stellar game? I do. And they will take the desert and do wonderful things with it.

Also, will the next Uncharted support 3D or the Move? Will you even want it to support these (relatively) new (at least to consoles) technologies?  Tell me what you think in the comments below.

Anton Mikhailov Talks About The PS Move

Anton Mikhailov (Sony Computer Entertainment software engineer) says that Sony’s PlayStation Move has been selling wonderfully and that it has been limited by supply instead of other factors. VideoGamer.com talked to Anton and he has told them that many people that bought a Playstation Move controller are now buying a second one.

VideoGamer.com also asked Anton on how he thought the launch of the PS Move went. He replied: "I think actually it went really well. We are exceeding our predictions which is always a good thing."
He was also impressed at how many people enjoyed playing with a buddy or having a multi-controller experience.

It doesnt matter if you think the Move was a success or not, but Sony and other dev's will definitely need to step up their game and release more games or the Move will quickly die out. It's lineup is pretty weak right now, and besides SOCOM 4 and Killzone 3, there isn't much to look forward to. There is also a game called Sorcery, which (if pulled off right) will be an amazing experience that will show what the PS Move is all about.

A few days ago, SEGA and Platinum Games released some prototype footage of the game that shows many elements that didn't make it in the  final product. There is a younger main character that was never seen before, and also shows a cool concept in which you would use Bayonetta's bike to get through a level. Enjoy the videos from SEGA below!
