Life with PlayStation launches
SCEA have announced that Life with PlayStation has launched. This free service delivers a new way for you to utilize your PS3 to instantly access real-time news and information like weather updates from over 60 cities around the world.

Life with PlayStation provides a stunning interactive globe, a 3D world map that you can twirl around to see live cloud movement courtesy of the University of Wisconsin, combined with up-to-date weather information from the Weather Channel, top news headlines provided by Google news, and live web cam images via the Earth Television Network — all localized to the select city. And why not have your favorite soundtrack playing in the background while you go through your morning ritual (just think, no TV commercials and teasers to find out if you need to bring an umbrella to work)? You’re on your own for your morning caffeine fix.
For those following the progress of Hurricane Ike throughout last week, we were able to track the storm’s real-time movement from Life with PlayStation.
We’re also really excited to share that this new lifestyle service is running in parallel with our Folding@home project. Essentially, this means that while you’re taking a stroll on Life with PlayStation, you’re automatically helping Stanford University to work towards curing diseases such as Alzheimer’s and various types of cancers. For those familiar with Folding@home, we’ve made some enhancements for more advanced simulations of protein folding and support for wider variety of simulations, in addition to adding a unique ranking system showcasing top contributors from around the world.

Force Unleashed Dev: Not feasible on PC, pushing PS3 and 360 to the limits
Cameron Suey, producer of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of upcoming Star Wars game The Force Unleashed has revealed that he understands concerns that the game isn't coming to PC but tried to offer an explanation. Suey stated that it really wasn't feasible to bring the game to the PC as it would take a VERY POWERFUL PC to pull off the physics and it is DEFINITELY stretching the Xbox and PS3 to the limits.
He said: "Wow. OK that's interesting. Obviously the reason I'm doing this and the reason I think any of us is doing this is because we love games and we want to make games for people who love games. So any time someone's not happy with something, I won't say it's difficult because you have to deal with it, but we would totally prefer everybody to be as happy as possible, you know we want to make everybody as happy as possible.
"In this case, it just really wasn't feasible. As much as I really understand everybody's concerns and I really understand that people want to play the game on their platform of choice, the truth of it is, the way this game is designed, based around these physics, that are simulation based and very procedural, it would take a very powerful PC to pull them off. This is definitely stretching the Xbox and the PS3 really to the farthest they can go.
"And yet high-end PCs definitely would be able to do it. Traditionally the way you get a game on multiple PCs is you have to scale the graphics down, right? Unfortunately physics, especially procedural physics, it's impossible to scale it and if you did scale it or turn it off or turn it down it would fundamentally change the way the gameplay works. It would just be too limited for us. It was a difficult decision to make but you can't scale the physics."

Dead Space Producer on Censorship, EA
by Blake Ellison
Glen Schofield, executive producer of EA Redwood Shores' sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space, added to the speculation circling around the game's possible ban in three countries.
In an interview with IGN Australia, he confirmed that the extra-gory title has been banned in Japan, but for now it's of no concern. "No cuts. We're not softening it for anybody. I think a part of it was, he's not a killer. He's killing aliens and that's why we thought for a while we'd get it through in Germany. And they were like, 'Well, the fact that he can get dismembered pretty grotesquely is bad, so...'"
Schofield also had a lot to say about Electronic Arts, the game's publisher: "At one point, one of EA's marketing guys said, 'Hey - let's get a big actor to play Isaac' because that's what EA would do."
Going against the grain seems to have been his justification for the game's now-famous violence. "Right from the beginning, I wanted to do what EA wouldn't do. So let's push the violence, let's push the gore, let's push the innovation."
The game was known to have contributions from comic book writer Warren Ellis, but it turns out those contributions may have largely fallen through the cracks. "So, ah, with all due respect to Warren..." Schofield began.
"He hit deadlines for us, he did everything right - but he came on two and a half years ago and some of the ideas filter out. He also introduced us to Anthony Johnson, who became our writer for the comic series. Then Anthony eventually wrote most of the dialogue for the game."
In countries where it's available, Dead Space releases on October 14 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and October 20 for PC.

Midway executes full Mortal Kombat vs. DC roster
Posted By Polybren 75
The Mortal Kombat series has always carried an air of mystery, dating back to the first game's novel addition of Reptile, a secret character who could be faced only under very specific conditions. That air has been thicker than usual with the newest installment of the game, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
Beyond the issue of how Midway will land a Superman-friendly T-for-Teen rating without watering down the series' trademark fatalities, there's also been the question of which heroes and villains will be in the game. The publisher answered that question today by revealing the final characters of the full Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe cast.
Rounding out the list for DC will be the despicable duo of the evil genius Lex Luthor and the cosmic tyrant Darkseid, as well as the mercenary antihero Deathstroke. The final additions to the Mortal Kombat half of the game's 22-character roster all date back to the first two games of the series, with original Kombatant Kano joined by the sequel's supreme ruler Shao Kahn and the bladed beast Baraka.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is set for a November release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The full roster of characters appears below:
DC Universe:
Batman
Superman
Catwoman
Green Lantern
The Joker
Shazam/Captain Marvel
The Flash
Wonder Woman
Deathstroke
Lex Luthor
Darkseid
Mortal Kombat
Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Sonya
Jax
Shang Tsung
Liu Kang
Raiden
Kitana
Kano
Baraka
Shao Kahn

Capcom: We won't be making any more console exclusives
posted by malloc
Capcom has revealed that all major titles launched during the next fiscal year or after will be developed as MULTI PLATFORM games, so that means there will be no more console exclusive games. They have confirmed that Street Fighter IV will be multi platform.
quote:
Resident Evil and Street Fighter developer Capcom has sworn off the practice of making "next-generation" games exclusive to one home console like the PS3 or Xbox 360.
"All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multi-platform games," reads Capcom's shareholder report for its fiscal year 2008, which ended on March 31 of this year.
Henceforth, Capcom will develop many of its games using its internal MT Framework technology, "an integrated development environment built to provide common development tools for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms."
As a result, the company "will aim to increase revenue and dramatically increase the number of users by launching, for example, Resident Evil 5 ... Street Fighter IV ... and Bionic Commando [on multiple platforms]."

RACE Pro is exclusive to Xbox 360 as the developers didn't have a budget for PS3
posted by malloc at 12:25 pm on 2008-09-11
SimBin boss Henrik Roos has revealed that RACE PRO is exclusive to the Xbox 360 as they had to finance the production of the game alone and the company simply did not have the budget for a PS3 version. He also added that it can be interesting to be exclusive to one platform although failed to elaborate further on this.
quote:
SimBin boss Henrik Roos has said that developing exclusively for one console “could be interesting,” when referring to SimBin’s decision to make RACE Pro exclusive to the Xbox 360.
When asked by our sister publication, 360 Gamer magazine, why SimBin had decided to make the game a 360 exclusive, Roos admitted that financial matters had played a part in the decision – but added that it could also have possible benefits as well.
“SimBin has financed this production our self and we simply did not have the budget to do a PS3 [version],” Roos said.
Looking on the bright side though, he added that “it could also be interesting to be exclusive on one platform, if the support from the platform holder is good.”
Unfortunately, Roos didn’t elaborate on what exactly was meant by this. Although it is worth remembering that many third party developed exclusives have used their exclusivity as an effective marketing tool in the past.

Rutter: PS3 and 360 have sufficient architecture and power to support FIFA 10 on 10
David Rutter was recently asked why it has taken FIFA SO LONG to implement the 10 on 10 online mode when it seems so logical to incorporate. Rutter responded by saying that there are a number of reasons, but now the PS3 and Xbox 360's network architecture is sufficiently mature enough to allow 20 gamers to play FIFA 09 at the same time. The PS2 and Xbox weren't powerful enough and there wasn't enough bandwidth available.
Rutter: Many different reasons but the biggest one is that PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have network architecture that is sufficiently mature to allow 20 individuals to play a single game of FIFA 09 at the same time. PlayStation 2 and Xbox weren't powerful enough and the internet didn't have sufficient bandwidth to enable this. And we have had to do a number of technological things like re-broadcasters to enable the level of service in our mode to allow this to be a compelling experience.
