Namco has released the first batch of Tekken 6 screenshots since it showcased an in-game teaser movie at last year's E3.
The screenshots, which are from the arcade version of the game, are a little too tiny for us to see the fighting sequel in explicit detail, but from the looks of it Namco has been doing some spring cleaning in the graphics department - with prettier character models and more detailed environments than the previous movie tease.
On the other hand the trailer over on the newly-launched Tekken 6 website is looking decisively ropey.
It's currently penned in for a PS3 console conversion later this year, but an Xbox 360 port is also strongly rumoured. Stay tuned for more on Tekken 6 very soon.

Sony exec Phil Harrison has dropped a heavy hint that PS3 owners will be able to download movies and TV to the console in the not-to-distant future.
"I think PlayStation 3 needs to stand for gaming and digital entertainment in the living room pushing the envelope of high definition, pushing the envelope of broadband, and of course that includes more than just games", Harrison explained to 1Up.com when queried about plans for TV and movie downloads through PlayStation Network.
He continued, "We don't have the announcements that you're probably looking for today, but it is digital data. We have a hard drive, we have a commerce engine, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we will have that on the network very shortly".
In the interview, Harrison also explained that the decision to include a hard drive in every PS3 was made "because we saw the long term benefit... The ten year plan of allowing people to download all kinds of digital content to their PlayStation 3 - not just games but movies, music, HD, standard definition TV, you name it."
Microsoft of course has already introduced a TV and movie download service States-side for Xbox 360. Via Video Marketplace, 360 owners can download standard and high-definition shows and films.

Hey, didn't The Warriors come out a long time ago on other platforms? And, wasn't it just a brawler game? Meh, maybe it's a Grand Theft Auto-clone. Why should I get excited for a cheap port of an old game?
This kind of sentiment would be completely baseless. It's true that The Warriors isn't a new game. It's also true that the PSP version is simply a port, without any significant upgrades to the original. And yes, like most of Rockstar's other games, this game borrows tons of elements from the revered GTA franchise. However, to think of it as "just a brawler" would do this game a horrible injustice. In fact, PSP owners should be grateful to have such a refreshingly solid game made available on the platform, especially at its budget price. Without a doubt, The Warriors is worth every penny: it provides hours of incredible fun, with a natural, satisfying combat system, and top-notch presentation.

Bullet Witch, Godzilla: Unleashed, and Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road will all be shown to the public for the first time at the New York Comic Con 2007. Bullet Witch and Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road are likely to be playable, says Atari, and there will also be a nonplayable demo of Godzilla: Unleashed.
Godzilla: Unleashed was recently announced by the company for the Wii, DS, and PlayStation Portable, and will be released in "fall 2007." Gamers play as Godzilla, or a choice of other giant monsters, and rampage through a series of cityscapes wreaking destruction. Bullet Witch is an Xbox 360 title, and has just gone gold--it is due for release in the US on February 27. The game describes itself as "a neo-apocalyptic action adventure," and blends Japanese fantasy with "American action." Dragon Ball Z Shin Budokai: Another Road is the latest release in the popular Dragon Ball Z series, and features 50 new fighting skills and ultimate attacks. The title is due for release in March 2007 for the PSP.
Atari's vice president of marketing and sales, Nique Fajors, commented, "While Godzilla: Unleashed, Bullet Witch, and DBZ Shin Budokai: Another Road offer different gameplay features, storylines, and visual flair, all three share a common bond of Japanese art and influence--a bond that has been extremely prevalent in comics and other popular art forms."
The New York Comic Con 2007 will be held February 23-25 at the Jacob Javits Center.

New release from Vulpix:
This program lets you change the texture of the waves of your XMB.
http://www.lostnovice.com/vulpix/TGAWave.rar (current version v.5)
AMAZING TUTORIAL BY al-zamli: http://pspjunk.org/tgawavetut
How to video:
Read the readme before you do anything.
Thanks to Z33 for rcotool and the research on the textures.
This time there is less hex editing required, all you need is a nice image editing program (aka Photoshop, etc) and you can edit your wave's texture.
Apply filters to that image in Photoshop/whatever, and you can change your XMB's wave textures easier than ever.
Stuff you can post: screenshots, tips, etc.
Happy wave hacking! //from DarkStone and vb_master(Vulpix)

New from Pasky13 is a new version of his database editor for Cwcheat:
Whats new in v1.70:
Ability to now download and install the latest version of CWcheat and CWcheatpops automatically!
- Requires Firmware: 3.10-OE (May work on others, not tested/supported)
- Still requires the plugin to be enabled via the Recovery mode
Automatically detects database type when loading a database file. Ability to switch manually still available.
Changes made to the UI. Removed the buttons below the code database as they are no longer necessary. The options they provided are available via right clicking on the code database
Fixed a bug when trying to add a joker code to a code with an existing joker code.
- Previously, this would add an additional joker code to the existing one. This has been fixed and when a joker code exists, the context menu changes to "Edit Joker Code".
Fixed a bug when using the 'Sort' button.
- Previously, after the database was sorted any additional items added afterwards were being sorted or if a new database were opened it would be sorted. This has been fixed.
NOTE: If anyone could make a small banner/logo (In the range of 270x150) that fits the theme of the application, I'd really appreciate it. I'm a horrible artist. Thanks.
Requires the .NET 2.0 Framework which can be downloaded directory from Microsoft's website at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Italian publisher Black Bean has signed a distribution deal with Koch Media for its upcoming, and now officially licensed, Superbike World Championship 07.
The racer will arrive on PS2 and PSP in Q2 this year, and subsequently on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in Q4 this year.
Milestone Interactive, the team behind the original Superbike games, is developing the new title, and the addition of the official licence means the racer will now boast real world riders, bikes and circuits.
Of the deal with Koch, Black Bean’s UK MD Chris Mehers stated: “Milestone’s ability to produce stunning bike games combined with a powerful licence and Koch Media’s marketing, PR and sales skills will, I’m sure, deliver great results for all concerned.”
Koch MD Craig McNicol added: “We are delighted to sign such a strong licence. The motorbike genre holds much potential and the combination of the great game and the best licence will surely excite trade and gamers alike.”

Tom Clancy's fictional ghost squad has been deployed all over the world, "cleaning up the streets," so to speak. This week, the super soldiers went back to some familiar territory--the Web.
Ubisoft announced that the official Web site for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 went live this week, with the usual accoutrements. Visitors to the site can grab some GRAW 2-themed wallpapers for their PCs or screens of in-game footage, or check out some trailers of the game.
Also available is the latest Developer's Diary, which focuses on the environments in the game. In it, the developers talk about the differences in the game's two major locales--Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas--and the importance of keeping the environments as real as possible.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is rated T for Teen and will be released in March on the Xbox 360 and PC. PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable versions are also in development.

Phil Harrison and 1up's Luke Smith had a chat about the current positioning of the PlayStation 3, and it makes for some interesting reading. A quietly confident Harrison discusses the future of game distribution online, their attitude towards competition in the console market, and clarifies a few things about the potential for PS3 price cuts. The previous discussion about price cuts was apparently a big misunderstanding.
"PH: Well, do you know what [Takao Yuhara] said was, cost reduction, not price drop, and there's a big difference between cost reduction and price drop. So, that I believe is where the confusion came from. Obviously, we are investing our money in making PlayStation 3s cheaper to manufacture -- that's part of our business plan. 1UP: You're not going to pass the savings along? PH: When we can, when there are savings to pass along to the consumer, we would obviously choose to do that. That's the business model. 1UP: Wait? You guys are doing this to make money? Really? PH: That's videogame hardware 101."

If you think all mech games involve painstakingly building your machine from the ground up to create the most dominant, slow moving, walking tank around, then you're only half right. While FromSoftware's latest mech game stays true to its roots with a huge number of customization options, the gameplay itself is fast and furious bringing a welcome sense of mechanized action to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Snail-like death machines be damned, Steel Battalion this is not.
Upon starting the game, we found ourselves thrust into a virtual room for a brief tutorial. After going through the motions and learning the basics, the tutorial tops off with a mock battle. It was pretty simple stuff and a good example of how the streamlined controls make piloting one of these metal monstrosities an easy task. The two triggers are used for boosting about with the right one for quick dodges and the left for longer fuel burns. The two analog sticks are used for motion and aiming while the face buttons are reserved for firing the weapons themselves and using the over boost.

The Japanese game industry is seeing some interesting times, with the Wii and DS dominating the sales charts while Sony's platforms falter. Famitsu recently asked analysts with Japanese firms Daiwa Securities, Nomura Securities and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities to share their thoughts on how things are shaping up for the game market as the 2007 fiscal year winds down.
Daiwa Securities' Eiji Maeda pointed to Gundam Musou and Virtua Fighter 5 as key software titles for the end of the fiscal year. He believes that sales of these two titles are important for the PlayStation 3 as a whole, and that other software manufacturers should be paying attention to them. Nomura's Yuta Sakurai also made mention of Gundam Musou as a key title for the end of the term, but added Monster Hunter Portable 2nd to the list. He feels that this game will push PSP hardware.
Everyone seems to be down on the PS3 and up on the Wii. Maeda believes Sony won't be able to get actual sales of six million PS3s by the end of the term. In contrast, he believes Nintendo will be able to ship out six million Wii units (2 million to Japan, 3 million to America, 1 million to Europe) and that the demand for the system won't die down for some time. Sakurai believes Sony's worldwide PS3 shipments will reach the 4.5 million mark, and stop there, while Nintendo will be able to ship 6.5 million systems. He also feels that the Wii supply problem won't clear up by the end of the term.
UFJ's Hiroshi Murakami thinks that the current retail state, where PS3's are readily available and Wii is nowhere to be found, will continue for a while. The Summer of 2007 will be the biggest fight for the PS3, he believes. Murakami believes strongly in the scenario of the PS3 being the number one system 3 to 5 years from now, and expects this state to come into view at the end of 2007.
Outside of the next generation, the analysts offers some interesting thoughts on the DS. Sakurai believes that the system saw its Japanese sales peak in 2006 and that sales will gradually go down from here on. However, he believes that the system's flame was lit in Europe over the holiday season, and that 2007 will be the breakout year over there. Murakami believes that while the DS's success will continue throughout the term, the end of 2007 is a bit unclear. There's the possibility that the light users will move away from the system. He feels that Dragon Quest IX will be the big test.

SEGA has some of the most well-known and classic franchises in all of gaming. The company is currently working on bringing some of these classics to current platforms and reinvigorating them for a new generation of fans. One of these franchises is Crazy Taxi, the fan-favorite, arcadey series that first appeared on the Dreamcast back in early 2000.
The goal of Crazy Taxi is extremely simple - pick up a passenger and get them to their destination as quickly as possible. Rinse and repeat. That describes the Taxi portion of its name, but it's the Crazy part that made it fantastic fun. The city is your playground, and you needn't obey any rules getting your fares to their destination. Cruising through oncoming traffic, smashing into other vehicles, catching air off of one of the game's numerous jumps or cutting through a shortcut here and there are all part of the game. Crazy Taxi 2 changed cities, added a Crazy Jump for hopping your car into the air at any time and introduced a number of new and addictive mini-games.
Currently slated for release sometime this summer on the PSP, Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars will put gamers behind the wheel of a taxi once again, all in classic form. A mixture of the original Dreamcast releases of Crazy Taxi 1 and 2, Fare Wars will allow players to select which game they want to play and drop them right into either classic. The games are direct ports of the Dreamcast games, though SEGA will be putting on a little extra polish to give it some added visual flair, like specular lighting on the cars, environment maps on the buildings for nice reflections and some enhanced particle effects.
Beyond the visual upgrades and some enhanced jukebox options, the games will be identical to their Dreamcast counterparts. The PSP's control setup is almost exactly the same that we saw on the Dreamcast, minus having buttons instead of triggers for L and R. This means that no concessions had to be made for any of the game's mechanics and all of the classic moves are still to be found within, like the Crazy Boost or Crazy Slide.
Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars will also introduce some multiplayer functionality for play over Ad-Hoc. SEGA is keeping mum on exactly what modes we'll see here for now, though we do know the game will be limited to two players and that you'll be able to choose what features from each game that you want to use (you can turn on Crazy Jump for us in the first city, for example).
The build that we had a chance to play yesterday was in a pre-alpha stage and didn't feature any of the planned visual upgrades. The framerate also ran at only about 70% of the target rate, though it was still reasonably smooth. While the game was certainly playable, the unoptimized framerate meant that it was difficult to pull off some of the moves as we had to slow our finger movements down to match the game speed. We're told this won't be a problem in the final release however.
Aside from these slight issues, the game immediately brought back memories of our Dreamcast favorite. Shortcuts and such came right back to use, and our fingers ached to perform some of the special moves even though we thought we'd forgotten them ages ago. Assuming that SEGA can pull this one up to speed so that it plays a tad cleaner, we're looking at a better-than-the-original port here.
Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars is currently scheduled to ship sometime during the summer. Given the game's somewhat early progress, SEGA doesn't want to pin down an exact timeframe yet, but we should be picking up passengers and carting them off to the baseball stadium sooner than later.
