Rumor Reporter has confirmed that Incognito's Warhawk is the subject of the site's ominous story posted early this morning. An anonymous source working on the title has allegedly told Rumor Reporter that development has "stalled completely." Supposed "infighting and lack of clear direction" have led to a swelling budget; in turn, prompting layoffs and employee migration.
SCEA has apparently brought in a new director who may be considering a significant change of direction for Warhawk. What was once a high profile title (the first to utilize functioning Sixaxis motion control), may now become a simple downloadable game. Rumor Reporter suggests that Warhawk's four complete missions could be destined for PlayStation Store. Another Gran Turismo HD? Perhaps. But, for now, this is strictly rumor.
We did contact Sony for a statement. Here's the predictable reply: "We haven't made any official announcements regarding Warhawk since last year. At this time, we have nothing new to report regarding this title."

Japan loves monsters and they love spies. The PSP-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is sold out everywhere in Japan and Konami is struggling to get copies to stores. Will the upcoming enhanced European release meet the same success? Or will it stay on store shelves as in America?

Having already dominated US skies on Xbox 360 and PlayStation, Ubisoft has announced that Blazing Angels, its WWII plane-based shooter, is flying on Sony's next-gen console in time for its March launch (whenever that is, obviously). What's more, the game will hit our shores boasting brand new content and improved graphics compared to the Xbox 360 version.
As one of the world's finest fighter pilots, your stiffest upper lip is required to get through some of the most famous and action-packed sky battles from 1939 onwards, including the Battle of Britain and Pearl Harbour. To make the experience as realistic as possible players can use the SIXAXIS's motion-sensing capabilities to pilot their aircraft, tilting the pad to fly. It'll be just like being in the cockpit of a Spitfire.
To celebrate the imminent arrival of Blazing Angels in UK skies, IGN went behind enemy lines at Ubisoft Romania to interrogate the game's lead designer, Bogdan Bridinel, about prepping the PS3's hottest historical fighter for take off.
IGN: How has the introduction of the SIXAXIS's motion sensing added to the gameplay, and how sensitive and accurate is it compared to the analogue controls?
Bogdan Bridinel: Initially, we didn't know what to expect from the SIXAXIS controls but they turned out surprisingly well. While they do not offer the same level of accuracy as the analogue controls, the accuracy is still quite good and the freshness of the experience easily makes up for the somewhat higher difficulty. We certainly see players using the motion sensing controls and having fun with them, although we can't say for how many players they will actually become the standard playing method.
IGN: Why did you decide to rewrite and re-record the dialogues from the Xbox 360 version?
Bogdan Bridinel: Before starting on the PS3 port we did a review of the criticisms aimed at the 360 game and tried to see which of the problems could be fixed in the time that we had. Rewriting and re-recording the dialogues was not exactly a small enterprise, but we felt it was absolutely necessary, seeing that the dialogues of the original version had been almost universally criticised.
IGN: Although the game was released last year in America on PS3, can we expect to see any improvements for Europe, bearing in mind the additional development time you've had?
Bogdan Bridinel: The PAL version will be identical to the US one.
IGN: Some of the gameplay elements have been improved for this PS3 version - can you explain what these refinements are and why you chose to include them?
Bogdan Bridinel: Most of the changes are refinements based on our post mortem of the game and on the feedback that we received from players and the press. There are many tweaks to the missions and the game mechanics aimed at making the game less linear and more challenging, but also a number of more significant changes. More playing styles are now catered for, as the game offers a cockpit view and the option to switch to a simulator-style control method. Some new HUD elements like a radar were added to give the player more awareness and therefore more options. Plus a new multiplayer mode, called Assault, has been included, along with two new single player missions. The dialogues were completely reworked.
IGN: When you're including new content, at what point do you have to stop yourself and consider that maybe you should make a follow-up instead? Would it have been easier to start from scratch with this version rather than tweaking the 360 game?
Bogdan Bridinel: Tweaking an old game is definitely easier than making one from scratch, but it's true that the scope of the changes we made in the PS3 version is bigger than what you normally see in a port. We simply felt that it would be a pity if we released the game unchanged, when there were issues with it that could be easily, or reasonably easy to change. The only difficulty was in drawing the line between reasonable and unreasonable, as at times we did find ourselves getting carried away and thinking about changes that would be more suited in a sequel.
IGN: How well are World War II games received across Europe? Do you have to tweak content for different countries or is the same game released across the whole continent?
Bogdan Bridinel: Sensitivity is definitely required, but our approach was to make just one version for all territories, making sure that the content that would not prove problematic in any of the European countries.
IGN: The PS3 game already features two new missions - will these ever come to Xbox 360?
Bogdan Bridinel: No, the two missions will not be released on the Xbox Live Marketplace. They are exclusive to the PS3 version and were created specifically for it.

Following last year's surprise retail performance from Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, it looks like Japan is getting set for another PSP hit. A well-known retailer blog reports today that retail orders for Monster Hunter Portable 2nd, due for Japanese release on February 22, are closing in on the 500,000 mark.
Such demand is rare for PSP titles. In fact, the blog states that only two titles, SD Gundam G Generation Portable and Portable Ops, have seen initial orders top the 150,000 mark.
This success shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given sales of the original. Monster Hunter Portable (known as Monster Hunter Freedom in America) sold over 650,000 units through its standard edition. On top of this, the blog reports that the game's budget version sold 200,000 units, placing the Capcom title well above the system's previous hot shot, Minna no Golf Portable.

We can exclusively reveal the first shots of SEGA Rally on PS3 - the newest entry in SEGA's mud-slinging driving game. Speed freaks with a fetish for filth will be delighted to hear the game's set to speed onto Sony's next-gen console this winter.
While these screens might not be actual in-race footage, they show off SEGA Rally's in-game engine splendidly, being "indicative" (according to a UK SEGA representative) of the final PS3 release.
While actual gameplay details are thin on the ground, its already evident that SEGA's upping the detail factor from previous iterations of the game, with cars spattering up mud and carving through the dirt, much like PS3's other big racing game MotorStorm. Of course, questions remain including whether the weight of your car, size of your tyres and speed will affect those next-gen physics, but then that's what relentless future preview coverage is for, right? Similarly, time should reveal the extent of SEGA's damage engine - and, frankly, if we don't get scratched paintwork, crumpled bumpers and flailing car parts ricochetting through the air, we'd be very surprised.
Don't fret though, SEGA is promising more concrete information on SEGA Rally PS3 soon.

At the recent Tokyo Auto Salon, a fleet of Gran Turismo Concept cabinets were wheeled out for car enthusiasts. It was possible to cruise through "Time Attack" mode or "Drift Trial," and each bucket-seat unit was outfitted with hi-def monitors and feedback GT FORCE Pro steering wheel controllers for a "real driving" experience. Well, real-ish.

With GPS standard in most Japanese cars and many cell phones, Sony's move to create a GPS receiver for the PSP was surprising. Blog HiroIro has a fine product review using Japanese UMD title MAPLUS.
Comparisons are drawn between a Panasonic car navigational system of the PSP with the Panasonic navi starting up as soon as the engine turns over while the PSP takes the requisite five minutes to get fired up. The Panasonic navi can make it through tunnels or underground, no problemo while the PSP croaks. Pulling up addresses, names and phone numbers are easy on the Panasonic system; the PSP only provides addresses, which are "difficult on the eyes" to read.
Verdict? Standard car navi wins.
Motorcycles don't really have navigational systems (none that I am aware off). So the PSP navi might actually be of some use. Here's the set-up, above. The portable is slipped in a map case designed for touring. An external battery beefs up the portable's life. Earphones make it possible directions given from the software as during the day, seeing the PSP screen is difficult. Night is much easier.
Problems: It's impossible to tell the difference between national roads and prefectural ones, and HiroIro says the software's still seems like it was created 10 years ago. Now that's an endorsement.

Sony will miss its PlayStation 3 sales targets for the fiscal year by 25 per cent due to poor sales of the next-gen console over the Christmas period.
That's the latest assessment from industry analyst Nomura Securities, which lowered its estimates for the year ending March 2007 from 6 million units to 4.5 million.
Moving into the fiscal year ending March 2008, Nomura also predicts a reduction in sales from 16 million to 10 million, and then the following year, ending March 2009, from 18 million to 11 million.
Sony has shipped one million PlayStation 3 units to North America, while last weeks' NPD data revealed the company has so far sold 687,000 of those units in the region.

Having previously suggested a Bully sequel was highly unlikely due to poor sales, analyst Michael Pachter is now saying that a second game is a distinct possibility.
"I have been consistently wrong about this title," Pachter, who represents Wedbush Morgan Securities, told GamePolitics, "I thought it would be stupid, and it was fun; I thought it would get poor reviews, and it got solid 90s; and I thought it would bomb, while it now appears to be a million unit seller."
Going under the name Canis Canem Edit, Rockstar's latest has enjoyed strong sales in the UK - although mostly thanks to heavy discounting, which has seen it take up residence in the All Formats/All Prices Top 40.
"I did not expect a sequel, while now I have to acknowledge that a sequel is a possibility. I never hesitate to take credit when I'm right, and I never hide from my mistakes," Pachter explained.
We think it's a nice show of humility, really - something we're not used to seeing around here, where we're all ace and everyone else is rubbish all the time ever.
