The current battle—war, if you will—between Blu-ray and HD-DVD will end in an inglorious stalemate according to research conducted by Screen Digest, a business-related media research and analysis firm. Moreover, the research firm also predicts that the war will do more harm than good and actually harm the high definition disc market, which kind of goes against the whole "competition will set you free" thesis, at least in this case.
Just under one-fourth of DVD sales by 2010 will be high definition discs the research also concluded. Interestingly enough, Amazon higher-ups told a group yesterday, myself included, that they don't necessarily care who wins the high definition DVD wars and neither do its customers; the more affluent, technologically savvy Amazon buyers will plop down money for their favorite right now, and should their horse lose the rase, they'll simply switch allegiances. I take it not many of you share the same sentiments.

Gamers will have forgotten all about the lack of rumble in console pads by next year, reckons Matt Southern, producer of PlayStation 3 racer MotorStorm.
"By 2007 we'll say 'no rumble? What of it?'" Southern told Official PlayStation 2 Magazine. He believes "the many positives of PS3 far outweigh the lack of rumble".
Sony took the decision to remove the rumble feature, which was included with previous PlayStation controllers, as it said the vibration would interfere with the pad's new tilt-sensing technology.
Southern's game MotorStorm, is an off-road racer in which the different terrain has an affect on the vehicles' handling and so is the type of game that might have made heavy use of a rumble function. But Southern is still certain that gamers won't miss it: "We're sure that with the huge amount of particles we can throw around on PS3 you'll know exactly what surface type you are on."

SNK Playmore's Metal Slug Anthology for PSP will be arriving at European shops on October 27th, UK publisher Ignition and distributor Atari revealed this week.
The compilation consists of Metal Slugs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and X, and allows you to play in either widescreen or the original screen format.
There will be two-player wireless options for co-operative multiplay, along with some measure of exclusive content, although nobody's said what just yet.
You can get your hands (well, eyes) on some screenshots of the Anthology elsewhere at the site.
Originally announced during E3, Metal Slug Anthology is also being pieced together for Nintendo Wii. That version will include the most recent arcade game (absent from the PSP version) and will take advantage of the Wii's unique control options.

Somewhat plausible rumours are circulating that, in Japan, Capcom's eagerly anticipated Resident Evil 5 will get a PlayStation 3-only release.
Which would make sense, given the spectacularly poor sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan -- despite the fact that Capcom has announced that it is working on both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the zombie-crunching game.
Whatever happens, we lucky European types should get both versions of the game, as well as a Wii version, which is likely to be substantially different to its next-gen peers.
If you're a flash Japanese-speaking git, you can check out ECGeo, the source of the rumours. Alas, it looks as though we'll have to wait ages for Ressie 5 which, after the sheer awesomeness of RE4, is set to be one of the most anticipated games ever.

News from CVG
The legendary Vice City resident Kent Paul - he's called Paul and he comes from Kent - has made a welcome return to the world wide web - along with some other beautifully observed spoof websites created by Rockstar Games to augment Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
Presumably, the fictional 80s nostalgist from Ramsgate has made a virtual return due to the impending availability of GTA: Vice City Stories for the PSP next month on Oct 17. Whatever the reason, if you're otherwise twiddling your thumbs, you could do a lot worse than visit the Kent Paul site.
You may also find links to another couple of mildly amusing piss-takes from that site. Such as the homepage for the quite literally legendary 80s console the Degenatron, complete with utterly addictive emulations of its three games, all of which involve imaginative combinations of green squares, red squares and - oh the extravagance - blue squares. Perhaps its time to start lobbying for a Degenatron revival on Xbox Live Marketplace.
Delve around and you will additionally find a click-through to Darren's site - which may be spectacularly crap, but a time did exist when sites like this were all over the nascent web. And the original Vice City homepage is also back online, although it seems a tad conventional in comparison with its sister sites.
With Bully approaching, Rockstar Games, after a low-profile period punctuated only by the excellent but disappointingly uncontroversial Table Tennis, is clearly stirring its stumps and preparing for a return to the limelight (or perhaps its usual state of notoriety).

We weren't fibbing when we told you to expect fresh Bully viewings soon, as Rockstar has this very morning released brand new PS2 media of the game, winding-up to its release in a few months time.
Bully casts you as schoolboy Jimmy Hopkins, a student at corrupt school, Bullworth Academy. Jimmy rather daringly plays pranks on school bullies to become the most popular lad in the class. After the huge media hoopla surrounding the game, it doesn't exactly look like the schoolyard-GTA bully sim which sent the mainstream media into a feeding frenzy. Still, we have to admit we were hoping for something a bit more Grange Hill than Saved by the Bell with tank tops.
Still Bully will be strutting its way onto PS2 in "late October." Look out for more coverage on these pages once we've snuck up on Rockstar and given them a damn good wedgie.

Freshmilk has updated his Table Top Rally game for the PSP, heres the release details:
Now then... theres a lot to be said about this new version, as it has been a month or so since my last release. The game now has support for 2.0+ users, as the USB funtion is optional and can be turned on or off whilst on the main menu. Another thing about this game is now, after all this time, the graphics from V2 have all been completely remade, and the music tranformed from an annoying theme tune to putre brilliance. The Garage is as always, with no new cars coming as yet, but now we'll talk about the new feature the terrain selector, or the background picker if you like.
I thought of doing this after reciveing a PM about it, but it seems to be a unique feature that i havn't seen in any other game, so hey, here it is. The game comes with two pre-set background which can also be chagned, therefore the game supports 4 Backgrounds. To replace a background, you need to change both the pictures, otherwise the icon son't work - for example, you must change IconX and BackgroudX for terrain X to work properly, if that makes sense. When changing backgrounds please bear in mind that you must stick to the pixels size given or otherwise the pictures will appear distorted ect.
Well, there you have it. I don't know what to do for my next release, so there is no to do list as of now.
I'd also like to say a special thank you to Alex. for helping me with making the cars transparent, andother things, so a big thanks to him, as the game wouldn't be here if it weren't for him.
Don't forget to leave your comments and suggestions, they are always appreciated!

No one would blame you for not knowing him as Dustin Diamond; to the world, he will always be known as Screech. The comedian rose to fame on Saved by the Bell, and then, unfortunately, fell from fame.
But that doesn't mean Dustin Diamond is going to let anyone take advantage of him, much less steal his PSP games. According to Diamond, he was recently accosted by a female fan outside his hotel room in Omaha, Nebraska. The two had met at a comedy club he was performing in earlier, and she apparently showed up pounding on his door at three in the morning.
Diamond called security and had the young lady removed. Then, as he was exiting his room 45 minutes later to catch a 5:15 AM flight, she showed up again aiming a can of mace at him.
According to an interview with E! Online, Diamond recounted, "Somehow she got back in and is now holding a can of mace up. I'm freaked out and jump back and she says, 'Where's the money, come on, tell me where it is,' and she's trying to look through my bags."
The attacker apparently was not aware that Diamond has fallen on hard times as of late, and is trying to raise money to save his home in Wisconsin. The comedian claims she grabbed his PSP games, said "this will have to do," and turned to run.
The D-Man
He called upon the skills he learned during Celebrity Boxing 2 and tried to stop her. That was when she started yelling "Rape!" and "Help me!"
"I'm thinking great, this is all I need," Diamond said.
As police arrived on the scene, the actor said he was finally able to retrieve his games. He and his alleged attacker both gave statements to police and were released. No charges have been filed, as a spokesperson for the Omaha Police Dept. said it was a case of he said, she said.
"I'm a big gamer, and you don't mess with the D-man's videogames," Diamond said.

Update from Strmnnrmn's blog:
www.strmnnrmn.blogspot.com
I've also updated page 4 of my last news post with some Q&A's about R7 taken from the Blog.
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...9&postcount=32
From StrmnNrmn:
'I'm getting close to finishing everything I want to get into R7. I've just spent a little time tidying up a few loose ends (little things like the way screenshots are handled). The one last substantial bit of work I want to get done is support for custom controller configs. I think this should be a few hours work, so I expect I'll finish this sometime on Saturday or Sunday, with a release following shortly afterwards.'

When the clouds open up, boy do they unleash some hell. Bully news seems to be coming at us in spades lately, so now here's the latest: A trailer for this once mythical game is now up and ready for your viewing pleasure.
Take a look at the game that will surely cause many to get upset for absolutely no reason at all. Our first impressions lean toward a modern Dennis the Menace.

Now that we've recovered from the initial surprise of Sony's mylo announcement, we're starting to get a few more details on its functionality. Turns out the teeny device is powered by an unspecified version of embedded Linux (possibly from Wind River), with a graphics and application framework provided by Trolltech's Qtopia platform. There's also Java Virtual Machine support, which seems to give homebrewers plenty of options for creating apps for the device -- if Sony hasn't locked things down too tightly. As for that QVGA 2.4-inch screen, Sony is packing in MP4 video support, so ready-to-go videos shouldn't be hard to find. There's also MP3, ATRAC and WMA to round out format support. While the mylo dodges that main Nokia 770 bullet by packing a QWERTY keyboard, Sony's device suffers from a hefty pricetag for its younger target audience, a notable omission of AIM and Windows Live Messenger, and a lack of explicit gaming or 3rd party support. Still, those WiFi and Linux specs hint at a lot of potential, so we're sure that this thing can manage to be a bit more than another Skype handset.

Heres an excerpt of a preview of the new Earthworm Jim game for the PSP:
Take the main character, for instance. He's a worm in a spacesuit. Not only is the concept funny, but it also lets you have an assortment of cool moves and game mechanics. Speaking of moves, fans will love the fact many of Jim's old abilities make a return. You can still use your entire body as a whip to attack enemies, or even as a hook to swing through the environment. You still get a rapid-fire blaster pistol to smoke villains, too, and it looks every bit as cool as it used to. That's not to say you won't find anything new, though.
In fact, there's plenty. Sadly, much of it didn't make it in time for Atari's show. The current build has about half the development cycle left to go, so there's plenty of optimization and finalization left to do. On top of that, the team has yet to finish the list of moves and upgrades available. Now, on to the facts: Jim will acquire different parts of his suit throughout the game, including gloves, boots and the main armor. You can then enhance these pieces through upgrades scattered about the game's eight stages.

Today SEGA announced the SEGA Genesis Collection for PlayStation 2 and PSP will be released this fall. The Collection will be the first time many of these Genesis titles have been seen on a console since SEGA Smash Pack Vol. 1 was released on the Dreamcast in 2001.
"The Genesis was the first 16-bit gaming system released in 1989, setting a new standard for gaming hardware technology for years to come," said Scott A. Steinberg, VP of Marketing, SEGA. "SEGA Genesis Collection will take gamers back to experience the golden age of gaming during the 1990s."
Developed by Backbone Entertainment, SEGA Genesis Collection features over 30 titles, including Altered Beast, Sonic the Hedgehog, Shinobi III, Phantasy Star, and the original Genesis version of Golden Axe. The games in the collection have been reproduced with the utmost accuracy to the originals as possible. Genesis Collection also features numerous unlockable items that delve into the soul of the Genesis such as interviews with the original developers, a museum area with factoids about the titles, a hint area to help gamers achieve the golden werewolf form in Altered Beast, and SEGA arcade games from the Genesis era.
SEGA Genesis Collection for the PSP system marks the handheld debut of many of these games. The PSP's wireless function will allow Genesis fans to connect with friends for wireless, 16-bit multiplayer gaming.
SEGA Genesis Collection will be available this fall.
This will be quite an interesting release for both the PSP and PS2 scene and especially for hackers who will look over the file format with interest, back in the Dreamcast days Sega released the Smash Pack and the emulator was ripped from it and was called Segagen, whilst legally the scene should stay far away from doing that its certainly interesting to see if Sega go for a port of those old games or if its an emulator which for new collections may be the easier way to go. All shall be revealed soon i reckon

News from IGN
The first bit of gameplay that greeted many who purchased a PSP at launch was Namco's classic Rally X arcade title. In typical style, Namco used one of its old school arcade games to give players something to do during the initial load periods that started off the Ridge Racers experience.
Ridge Racers 2 will also see a classic arcade game for its load screen. This time, Namco (well, Bandai Namco Games, as it's now known) has given the honors to New Rally X, which achieved popularity in the arcades and on the Famicom probably before you were born.
The latest issue of Famitsu provides a few additional details besides this. Ridge Racers 2 will see a number of cars, including the Pac-Man vehicle and, from the Xbox 360 Ridge Racer 6, Digdug Hijack. You won't be able to ride Reiko Nagase, but she'll be back as spokesperson, appearing in the CG introduction.
The game will also feature new racing modes. In survival mode, you race around a track as trailing players are forced out of the race. The last one remaining wins. Duel mode is a one on one race -- that's right, just you and a second car, facing off on the tracks.
Ridge Racers 2 is set for Japanese release on 9/14. That's just over a month away, so if you're into import gaming, start practicing with the original.

The PSP is getting a brand new form of port! The system, which has had no shortage of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 ports, is now set to receive a later day Game Boy Advance title!.
Sting has announced plans to bring Yakusoku no Chi Riviera to the PSP. The RPG, which first saw Japanese Game Boy Advance release in late 2004, adds fifty illustrations for cut scenes and makes the move to full voice. From what we can see, the visuals haven't changed from the GBA version.
US based gamers will recognize Riviera as a mid 2005 Atlus title. Given that Sony Computer Entertainment America tends to disapprove of PlayStation ports for its portable hardware, the chances of seeing this Game Boy Advance port on our shores are pretty slim. The interested few will want to import when the game hits Japan later this year.
