We were looking around for official comment on the PlayStation 3 controller announcement from Nintendo executives who had been surprisingly quiet on the issue, and we came up with this gem from Nintendo presiedent Satoru Iwata. As you'll know, Sony tried to take a bite out of Nintendo's giant pie of glory by adding functionality to its controller that the layman might mistake as comparable to that of the Wii.
"Actually before they made the announcement we already anticipated that they might do that, so I had to laugh. Even though I was laughing, it was with a grim face, I should add," Iwata told the Seattle Times. "Having said that, please know that putting the motion-sensor technology into the classic-style controller is one thing. Putting the motion-sensor technology into the Wii remote as well as the 'nunchuck' controller, where you can use both hands freely and independently, this is quite another thing."
Iwata also commented on the pricepoint announced by SCE. "That's not something I should comment on as a corporate president. But as one single person, a potential customer for the PS3, I think it's a bit expensive. But it depends on how the general public is going to see it. So far, within two days now, a majority of people who have commented on the pricepoint are saying the same thing: It's expensive."
Of course, the actual functionality of the Wii and the PlayStation 3 controllers is a world apart. The PlayStation 3 offers unexplained 'motion-sensing' technology, whereas the Wii boasts full recognition of the controllers movement, tilt, angle and placement.
As soon as Sony outlines exactly what its controller will offer over and above the standard game pad, you'll be the first to know.

Prior to E3, Famitsu readers were interested in the PS3, and Final Fantasy. Post E3, while there's still some excitement over Final Fantasy, they seem to be very interested in the Wii, and concerned about the PS3's high price. It certainly seems that in Japan, at least, Nintendo and Sony's fortunes have reversed. Will this hold through the launch and the succeeding years?" From the article: "Nearly 70% of readers said they are most looking forward to Wii. 21% voted for PlayStation 3, while the others voted for systems already released. 88.4% of readers believe PlayStation 3 is too expensive, while 10% believe it's 'about right'

We're still not quite sure what to make of Konami's upcoming Metal Gear Solid Digital Comic thing for PSP, given that it's really not a game as such - more an interactive MGS bible, as the publisher's bigwigs would have it.
Either way, we've got a new 'gameplay' trailer of the not-really-a-game, which tasks you with roving through a multimedia-ized version of the existing MGS comic book, rifling for clues and scanning various objects to unlock all sorts of stuff about Snake and crew.
Feel free to have a gander in preparation for the title's still to be announced release date.

Microsoft executives may be lining up to heap criticism on it, but Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot has expressed his delight with the PlayStation 3 controller, pledging strong support from the third-party giant for Sony's controversial motion-sensing functionality.
Guillemot's comments came in an exclusive interview with Eurogamer TV, due to be broadcast soon, with the publisher boss revealing: “We were so happy to see that Sony was taking that direction - we think it will help to have a better experience so we are going to use that a lot.”
Guillemot did not specify any PS3 projects which would incorporate motion-sensing - but given Sony's announcement appeared to come as a genuine surprise to most of the games industry, any supportive products are likely to be some way off.
Ubisoft's vocal support for the Sony initiative comes after the French publisher also proved itself at E3 as one of the leading third-party supporters of Nintendo's own motion-based technology for its Wii system, with titles including Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids on show.

Sony has confirmed that the price of the PlayStation 2 is set to drop in Australia - but a spokesperson has told GamesIndustry.biz that there are currently no plans to follow suit in Europe.
At present, the PS2 retails in the territory for AUD 249.45 (around EURO 150) - but as of June 1st, the price will fall to AUD 199.95 (EURO 120). June 1st, perhaps coincidentally, is the same date on which Nintendo's redesigned DS Lite handheld hits Australian shelves - also priced at AUD 199.95.
A Sony spokesperson dismissed rumours that the price of the console will also fall over here, stating: "We are not aware of any price cuts for the PlayStation 2 for the immediate future in the UK."

From the makers of PSMoz...
Here is a very simple idea - a cheap version of Talkman which plays Greek phrases through the PSP's speakers. Simply select the phrase you want to use and it will play, making it easier to talk with Greek speakers whilst on vacation.
Updates soon with other languages; French, German, etc.

New from SuccessHK
The fourth in the chilling Hitman series featuring the cold-blooded killer Agent 47. Finding that members of his contract agency, The ICA, are now being quietly (and mortally) eliminated, Agent 47 suspects a larger organization is moving in. Fearing he may be the next target, he heads to America. His jobs now will pay in straight-up cash -- and how he spends the money will affect what weapons he has and what he does next. The developer added new gameplay systems, such as the concepts of notoriety and of blood money. The new Notoriety system means that anyone causing a bloodbath worthy of front page news is risking being recognised by civilians and guards in the future. Blood money lets players spend their earnings on fully customisable precision weapons and specialist equipment, or they can buy additional information upon the targets and location at hand, to aid a successful and professional hit.

Amity Island is growing, making corporate connections with prestigious companies like Environplus to improve the Island’s economy. Unfortunately the increased population around the Island and recent industrial activity has also attracted you -- one of the Earth’s most fearsome creatures -- a Great White Shark! In Jaws Unleashed players can explore more than 10 meticulously detailed and destructible environments while inflicting real-time damage on intelligent enemies, vehicles, and structures. They can perform a variety of underwater, surface, and air attacks with a user-friendly combat system, and enjoy a dismemberment engine that provides more than 25 points of disconnection. Gamers can even follow story-based missions or just freely roam the island and its environment as they see fit. Also available for the Windows PC and Microsoft Xbox.

Naughty Dog's rejected suggestions that the remarkably detailed trailer of its new PS3 game shown off during Sony's E3 conference was target footage or any other kind of pre-rendered fake.
"The entire trailer was rendered in real-time using our PS3 game engine," the developer's Evan Wells told IGN. Along with Eight Days and The Getaway, Naughty Dog's met with a great deal of speculation over its legitimacy. "All of the models, textures, shaders and effects are in-game," Wells added.
That doesn't mean it wasn't sped up or anything like that, if we're going to nitpick - but it's still a far cry from the pie-in-the-sky target footage ideology that undermined Sony's 2005 conference.
Speaking of "far cries", Wells goes on to confirm that the game takes place primarily in a jungle island setting, offering variation within that obviously, and is "a third-person action adventure with heavily story-based gameplay".
So we can expect a mixture of two-fisted brawling, gunplay, puzzle solving and getting around Prince of Persia style. Speaking of which agaaain, "We're actually hired the designer behind the camera of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time to head up our camera efforts," says Wells of the studio's desire to get it shot well.
Naughty Dog isn't talking about when the game's due out, and they're "working on" a name, apparently, but we do know that the game's already been in development for one and a half years in some shape or form. Wells also had some thoughts on the animation - one of the most impressive bits of the E3 trailer.
"Animation has been a huge focus for us in terms of where we've been spending our development resources and is really something that we think will set next-generation games apart from current-gen." That and the fact they all cost more, Evan.

Immersion Corporation, which has been warring in the courts with Sony over Immersion's game controller rumble patent, has granted third-party peripheral company eDimensional a patent license for advanced vibro-tactile, spinning-mass gaming technologies for use in PC and PlayStation and PlayStation 2 gaming peripherals.
eDimensional will include Immersion's TouchSense tactile feedback technology alongside its virtual reality motion-sensing found in the upcoming G-Pad Pro Gyroscopic Game Pad designed for use with a PC or PlayStation 2, a particularly interesting move given recent Sony statements regarding why the PlayStation 3 controller lacks rumble.
Sony commented, on the E3 revealing of its new controller, that the firm had opted not to include a rumble feature the PlayStation 3 controller due to hardware interference caused by its gyroscopic controls, something that Immersion and eDimensional have apparently overcome to some degree with this third-party controller deal.
