Strategy fans will at last be able to retire the old Game Boy Advance SP come May as Square Enix at last releases its Final Fantasy Tactics remake for the PSP. The latest issue of Famitsu reveals a May 10 Japanese release date for the title, along with a price point of 4,800 yen.
Tactics on the PSP brings back all the strategy of the early PlayStation Square classic. The game includes two new classes, new FMV, and a new surname, Shishi Sensou (we've unofficially translated this as The Lion War)
Square Enix has yet to announce a date for the title's release outside Japan.

According to a report by the BBC, Sony's PSP console is finally going to delve into the realm of cross-platform, worldwide content access. A moderately-demanded feature for gamers, the report quotes Sony Computer Entertainment Europe spokesman Jonathan Fargher.
"We're hoping to incorporate that functionality in the very near future - from a local level at the moment to a global level probably within the next six months." He extrapolates, "If I have my MP3 Walkman or my iPod, or digital camera connected to PS3 then I can access those devices, too."
The functionality Fargher is referring to is the PSP's built-in wifi capabilities and therefore the PSP's potential for proper online, cross-platform content sharing, beyond the basic online features currently available to the owners of the system.
We will be keen to see exactly how accurate Fargher's comments are as the months creep closer to his "six months" prediction.

As GDC rapidly approaches, GameDaily's James Brightman sat down with conference director Jamil Moledina to discuss possible PS3 announcements among other things. According to Moledina, PS3 owners will be "very happy" come March 7 after hearing Phil Harrison's keynote. "Not to be coy but you'll just have to come to his talk" he told GameDaily. "All I can say is that I stand behind my ['very happy'] comment."
It's likely Moldina has the advance on Harrison's keynote because, after all, it's his freakin' conference. And being that Jamil isn't on Sony's payroll, maybe PS3 owners do have some legitimate good news to look forward to next week. To say they need it is an understatement.

Since the PS3 was released in the states, gamers have been anxiously awaiting an update that allows them to do something other than look at the progress bar and dream while downloading something from the PlayStation Store. Now Inner Bits claims to have stumbled upon some information regarding the upcoming March PS3 patch 1.60, which is supposed to coincide with the European release of the console. The patch is said to feature background downloading for the PS3...but not while you are playing a game. The PlayStation 3 needs the resources for gameplay, so when you enter a game the download will pause, resuming when you exit it. While this is 100% times better than just having to stop your download and start over should the urge to play hit you, it is still rather bleh overall.
Mind you, the Inner Bits article begins with a sentence that reads like dialogue from a Tom Clancy novel...
We have recently obtained through our contacts in the industry a summary of a high level meeting of the major players involved in Sony's network platform
...so you might want to approach this with a certain amount of skepticism. I'll wait for Sony's word on this before officially being disappointed.

As the title says, the Art of Fighting Anthology for PS2, which we've covered a few times before, is coming to the u.s. This news comes from SNKP's u.s. forums, which indicate that the game is coming out here in spring. It's a bit of an odd choice for localization, as Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, Last Blade, Mark of the Wolves, and others still haven't had their remakes released here. But perhaps they've just given us too many versions of the same game? Either way, I won't really complain. This compilation, as you may know, contains all three AoF games. Thanks to ishmael's post on the Madman's Cafe bbs for the news.

Those so inclined to turn on their PS3 systems this morning were greeted with instructions to update to the latest firmware version, that being 1.54, which unlocks many new magical abilities of Sony's futuristic video game box. After a little poking about, I found a list of changes over at the PlayStation.com forums.
* The image of the person you are chatting with during video chat can now be changed to match the screen size.
* You can now use a USB camera compatible with USB video class (UVC) for video chat.
They delayed my morning Virtua Fighter 5 fix for this? Hardly worthy of a whole .01, but I suppose somewhere out there who uses their PS3 for video chat that is just tickled pink right now. As an added bonus, one of our readers named Phil found that after applying the update his 160GB HDD upgrade was no longer recognized.

Last month, Sony Online Entertainment said it would bring a half-dozen Midway arcade classics to the PlayStation 3, and it appears the first of those will arrive next month. Sony's Station.com now lists the bloody brawler Mortal Kombat II as a March release, with a $4.99 price attached.
The game brings together the original game's roster of a dozen fighters and their respective finishing moves, and is updated with online multiplayer support. The Station.com site also claims players will be able to "battle all of your favorite bosses such as Goro or Shang Tsung…" However, the four-armed Goro did not appear in the arcade version of Mortal Kombat II, having been replaced by a similar creature called Kintaro. As of press time, an SOE representative had not answered GameSpot's request for comment.
The remaining five games named in the Midway-SOE deal are Gauntlet II, Joust, Rampage World Tour, Rampart, and Championship Sprint. SOE has said that all of them will have online multiplayer included in them for their PS3 releases.

The amount of PlayStation 3 units on store shelves throughout North America is due to the strength of Sony's manufacturing and supply chain, according to SCEA chief executive Jack Tretton.
While critics have suggested the next-gen console is not a hit with consumers due to the fact it hasn't sold out in many locations, Tretton has stated it's because the company has never been this well organised.
"It's a testament to the fact that we've been able to manufacture and ship units on a greater pace than any previous console," Tretton said in an interview with Reuters.

Signs are indicating that Grand Theft Auto IV will feature ground-breaking technology used in LucasArts' new Star Wars game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
Rockstar has partnered with NaturalMotion to use the latter company's euphoria engine in "upcoming next generation" games.
Employed in the recently revealed The Force Unleashed, euphoria simulates the human body and motor nervous system. It means that in-game characters are fully interactive and always react differently to external influences, ultimately leading to a more life-like experience for the player.
Specific reference to how euphoria "uses the processing power of PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360" to simluate the human body and motor nervous system was made in the announcement.
While Rockstar is yet to name games using euphoria, its integration of the tech is well advanced.

The first details have emerged on Stuntman: Ignition, the sequel to the PS2 original previously published by Atari.
The premise for the new Stuntman has essentially remained the same. As a Hollywood stunt driver you're tasked with performing action-packed film sequences with your precision driving skills, dragging your career higher the more spectacular your stunts are.
Over 25 vehicles are promised for the PS3, 360 and PS2 sequel, and 36 stunt runs spread across six themed films and commercials, reports IGN.
The most interesting part of Stuntman 2 however appears to be the online mode, which lets you challenge up to eight other stuntmen and steal stunts from them in multiplayer arenas. With the stunt construction toolkit you can also plan out your own stunts online and see if anyone can meet your challenge, or miss the mark and crash in to a house like some kind of stuntman nancy.
Bob Aniello, senior VP of worldwide marketing at THQ said, "The game brings a unique approach to the genre, encouraging gamers to perfect their racing technique while creating their own personalized Hollywood stuntman experience."
Stuntman: Ignition is currently pencilled in for this summer. Look for the first screens and movies soon.

Sony has revealed the pricing details for PSN titles in the UK and it looks like we'll be paying a little more than our European friends.
Update: Sony has sent us the following info.
The release schedule for PSN titles currently looks like:
Tekken 5: DR - March 23 - £6.99
Blast Factor - March 23 - £3.49
Gran Turismo HD - March 23
Super Rub-A-Dub - March 30
flow - April 6
Go! Sudoku - April 13
Go! Puzzle - April 20
Sony has only confirmed prices for two titles but we hope to have an update soon regarding the rest. We expect flOw and Super Rub a Dub to be £3.49 too, but we'll let you know.
Update ends
If Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, for example, goes for top whack at £6.99, that's 8.87 EUR in today's climate.
Specific details on the line-up of game we can expect to see from the March 23 launch have yet to be made by Sony.
Just in case you missed it, Sony announced that first-party PS3 games will go on sale from launch at £39.99.

Sony is to introduce a Blu-ray player priced at $599 USD, the same price as a 60GB PlayStation 3 console in the US.
The BDP-S300 will comes with all the same bells and whistles as its more expensive Blu-ray players, only now you won't have to re-mortgage your house to get one underneath your telly.
Already there's plenty of hustle and bustle on the internet asking how this new player will affect already-criticised PS3 sales. The console was always thought of as somewhat of a Trojan horse for the Blu-ray format, and now it's no longer the cheapest way for consumers to play the high-def disc format.
Our colleagues at Next-Gen.biz received a response from Sony Computer Entertainment America's PR boss Dave Karraker, who argued that the PS3 was always about high-def games and not movies.
"Yesterday's announcement from Sony broadens options for movie lovers and will help to further expand Blu-ray adoption, so it is a benefit to consumers and the company," he said. "Our research shows that the number-one purchase driver for the PS3 is the ability to play high-definition, next-generation games. PS3 has always been about gaming first and foremost."
We'll find out if Sony's right when the BDP-S300 Blu-ray player arrives this summer.

Steve's been crazy for this game. Maybe it's because it promises "the highest kill rate of any PSP game ever!" [Source: Gamespot] This PSP-exclusive version of Total Overdose certainly has been receiving decent reviews, making it far better than the "refried port" I thought it would become:
Gamespot (74/100) says the new game absolutely trumps the original: "By trimming the fat and ramping up the ludicrous factor, Chili Con Carnage does what Total Overdose couldn't, and creates a wildly over-the-top action game that's not only bizarre and funny, but also fun to play all the way through."
IGN (77/100) says the game is fun but mindless: "All this is great, it does get a little repetitive after a while. You'll find that you're performing the same "jump, lock-on and nail a headshot" move over and over and over again."
Play.tm (85/100) notes that you'll have fun, as long as you play by the rules: "If you play it the way that it's clearly meant to be played, as opposed to just blasting through the levels as fast as possible, then you'll be rewarded with one of the best action games on the PSP."
Not great, but certainly not bad. Maybe we'll find out what Steve thinks about the game once he picks it up.
