The team behind ruthless PSP Disgaea spin-offPrinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? is working on a new action RPG for PlayStation 3 called The Witch & The 100 Cavalrymen.
Andriasang reports that it's a dark fantasy sandbox-style affair in which you control an undead warrior called Hyakkihei, one of the 100 cavalrymen of the title.
Summoned by a sorceress called Metallica, you're sent into battle against an opposing witch. During combat you'll be able to wrangle the other 99 troops to suit your needs.
It plays out in a top down perspective, there'll be some some traditional dungeon RPG elements to get your teeth into, around 30 hours of gameplay and plenty of subquests.
Publisher Nippon Ichi has it down for release in Japan in early 2012, but there's no mention of a European launch as of yet.
Take a look at the teaser site for a glimpse of the game's art style.

FIFA 12's not even in the shops yet, but EA's already confirmed that its successor will be compatible with PS Move - and now the firm's moved to pledge that its inclusion won't be a "gimmick".
Speaking to the latest edition of the UK Official PlayStation Magazine, exec producer David Rutter said: "It's about trying to make it part of the game in a good way, rather than have it as a clichéd marketing gimmick."
It's a sentiment backed up by EA Sports senior VP Andrew Wilson, who added: "The core focus for us is still on 11-versus-11, twitch-based gameplay. That's where we're investing heavily."
FIFA 12 is released tomorrow in Europe, and is already picking up the expected praiseworthy write-ups.

Sony has presented those looking forward to today's launch of theBattlefield 3 multiplayer beta with a major headache by announcing that PSN will be down for maintenance this evening.
In a post on the PlayStation community forums, Sony confirms that PSN will be offline between 5pm and 7pm BST. During that time, the PlayStation Store, account registration and account management will all be unavailable. Those who sign in before 5pm, however, will be unaffected.
Yet that is unlikely to appease those who have been eagerly awaited the day Battlefield 3's multiplayer beta opens to the public. It has been available for two days to those who pre-ordered through Origin or bought the limited edition of last year's Medal Of Honor.
The beta test will run until October 10, with the full game to be released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on October 28.

Sony Ericsson’s head of content and marketing strategy Tim Harrison added: “Xperia Play continues to redefine smartphone gaming. By bringing some of the world's most popular console games to the Xperia Play we’re delivering an unrivalled smartphone gaming experience.”
Xperia Play launched in the US and Europe earlier this year.

GAME has announced what will no doubt be a very tempting offer for Call of Duty fans.
Anyone who buys Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 from GAME or Gamestation following its release on November 8th will be rewarded with double XP for their first four hours of play.
XP is awarded in the game’s multiplayer mode and is the mechanism that allows players to level up their character and weapons.
The giveaway comes as part of the GAME-exclusive Classified Intel Pack which is awarded to all who pre-order the game. The extra will be in limited supply and dished out to customers on a first-come first-served basis.

Ubisoft will launch survival adventure I Am Alive on PlayStation Network and XBLA this winter.
"We know people have been waiting for this game to arrive, and we believe it's going to be worth the wait," said Adam Novickas, director of marketing.
"I Am Alive presents a unique take on the post apocalyptic, survival genre by creating more complex and emotional situations for the player. Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation Network are the perfect platforms to leverage the mature and challenging experiences of the game."
The game was first announced at E3 in 2008 as a retail release.
It's developed by Ubisoft Shanghai, which took over the project from Darkworks in March 2009, a move Ubisoft claimed would help it reach the March 2010 deadline.
"The team at Darkworks has respected its contractual obligations on the project and will be a part of the success of the game when it launches," said the official statement at the time.
In a recent interviewwith GamesIndustry.biz, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot spoke about the importance of small, innovative projects.
"Giving diversity to the console is a way to make them consider the company and to consider its capacity to bring new stuff," he argued.
"So for gamers and for Ubisoft it's very important to be able to have new ideas and come with those innovative concepts. Because those innovative concepts don't always stay small, they can really grow and become huge in the industry."

If you've always thought browsing movies on the PlayStation Video Store wasn't quite up to scratch, you now have another option.
Sony US has released a new 'Video Unlimited - Preview' app for the PS3 that lets you easily browse through the 40,000+ movies and shows on the PS Store.
The content from the PS store is mirrored in a more visual menu system that that Sony says will make it easier for you to find the genres, actors and directors of your liking.
Only PlayStation Plus subscribers can download the preview app today, but it will be available to the general user "in a few weeks", according to Sony.
A video of the new browser app is below. There's no word on a UK release.
The PS3 console has reached 51.8 million units sold globally, Sony announced at its Tokyo Game Show press conference this month.

After being refused classification when it was initially submitted, House of the Dead: Overkill: Extended Cut has won its appeal and is now rated MA15+.
The Australian Classification Board refused classification for the HD PS3 version of the existing House of the Dead: Overkill for Wii, which had only minor changes to the existing and already rated product.
SEGA Australia immediately sent out a press release confirming its intention to appeal the decision, and made it quite clear how unhappy it was with the rating.
Today, SEGA has confirmed that House of the Dead: Overkill: Extended Cut has been given an MA15+ rating with the consumer advice 'Strong Horror Violence, Strong Coarse Language'.
Darren MacBeth, managing director of SEGA Australia, said: "It is with great pleasure that we announce the success of our appeal. We are proud to confirm that the game will be released in Australia in its original entirety, with no content altered or removed in any way."
"We were confident of successfully appealing the Board’s original decision to refuse classification and appreciate that the Classification Review Board has made a decision that complies with the current guidelines and framework."
An unedited and complete version of House of the Dead: Overkill: Extended Cut will now be released in Australia on 27th October for PS3.

Jonathan Blow, the independent developer of lauded time-shifting puzzler Braid, has admitted that his upcoming open-world puzzlerThe Witness is unlikely to appear on the current generation of consoles.
In an interview, one of the most outspoken independents in the industry tells us that porting The Witness to the ageing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 would be too arduous a task given their RAM limitations.
"We like 360 and PS3, but their specifications are over five years old now, and that's a lot in computer years," he tells us. "The kind of tricks we'd have to perform to get this game working on those platforms are such a lot of work that to port it over at this point is just not worth it for us.
"For this type of game, I do wish the new generation of consoles had come out by now. Even if it only meant a slightly faster graphics processor and a lot more RAM.
"Having more memory would make a huge difference to being able to bring a game like [The Witness] to a console. It makes it much easier."
While it's not uncommon for developers to call for new consoles and the increased processing power they would bring, that an independent developer is now admitting that his games would struggle to run on the current generation is one of the starkest indications so far of just how much the Xbox 360 and PS3 innards are showing their age.
Elsewhere in the interview, Blow also reveals his frustrations with how fractured the current consoles have become, with different controllers and ever-changing UIs. "The good thing about a console in the old days was that it was very focused," he says.
"[Now] there's a lot more unsureness in the way you interact, which I think is a mistake. There's a fuzziness to do with what a console is anymore." You can read the full interview with Jonathan Blow here.

Following several delays and a European release, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Trilogy is finally set to launch in North America this week on Tuesday, September 27. The high-definition espionage saga should be slipping onto shelves in Blu-ray guise, and in a downloadable bundle on the PlayStation Store. There's no fiscal benefit to the digital version, as Ubisoft says they both cost $39.99.
All three games in Splinter Cell Trilogy support stereoscopic 3D and improved identification with series protagonist Sam Fisher, who must also wear uncomfortable visual gadgetry on his head. The original game, its sequel, Pandora Tomorrow, and Chaos Theory all support native 1080p rendering (though 720p output must be disabled in the XMB forChaos Theory).
According to the tech-savvy scrutinizers at Digital Foundry, the level of care shown inSplinter Cell's HD update is about on par with the economical work in the Prince of Persia HD trilogy. Its relative condemnation identifies the trio as "very basic conversions" of the PC games with rudimentary interface adjustments. The first two games reportedly perform in "an average manner," multiplayer has been cut, and textures are "disappointing." The standout title, DF concludes, is Chaos Theory, which "manages to acquit itself fairly well six years after its initial release."

We don't want to spoil Modern Warfare 3, even though the idea that you're desperate to see how the narrative evolves is a touch ... naive on our part. Still, we're going to be very vague about the list of achievements for the game that just popped up on Xbox360Achievements.org.
So, all we can say is that during Modern Warfare 3 you'll "escape" three things and "destroy" four things. Oh, and six cheevos require "killing" things, so we know there will be some killing, in the Call of Duty game. Also? Two that require "aesthetically-flawless cake frosting."
No, no, that's not true. But there's killing.

If any of you fellow UK gamers were planning to do a little online gaming on your PS3 between the hours of 5pm and 6pm tonight you might want to change your plans.
Sony has sent over word that it will be taking its PSN service down for maintenance. This means all PSN related services, including the PlayStation Store, Home and account management will be suspended.
Although Sony has specified the length of downtime as an hour it may be down for a little longer "for testing purposes". As always if you manage to sign in before the black spot begins you should remain signed in.
Sony previously took the service offline earlier this month for six hours, saying only that it was for "maintenance" purposes.

Next month Activision will launch a new US promotion with PepsiCo's Mountain Dew and Doritos, rewarding purchasers with extra XP points for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Starting on October 10, gamers who buy the snacks will be able to redeem alphanumeric codes found on the products for slots of "double XP time" in the multiplayer games.
"For many of our gamers, Call of Duty and Mountain Dew go hand in hand, and together we wanted to deliver gamers a one-of-a-kind program around the epic Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer," said Activision's chief marketing officer Tim Ellis.
Buying a larger bottle of Mountain Dew will give gamers more double XP time, and combining that purchases with Doritos crisps will add an extra 15 minutes. There is a limitation of 24 hours of double XP play for each gamer.
"Dew fans have been clamouring for the return of Mountain Dew Game Fuel, so we wanted to really fire them up with a partnership that gets to the core of what Dew is all about," Brett O'Brien , Mountain Dew VP of marketing added.
"With this partnership we get to make sure that Mountain Dew fuels both the fans and their Call of Duty gameplay while they play Modern Warfare 3."
Activision recently won a court case over the use of the ModernWarfare3.com domain.

Pokopom PSX Pad Plugin v1.6 is released. Pokopom is a PSEmu Pro pad plugin that emulates a DualShock1 and DualShock2 controller for PS1 and PS2 emulators respectively. It only uses XInput, so as to avoid the DirectInput troubles with X360 controllers. It currently has no configuration available, and defaults to use the first and second XInput controllers as pad1 and pad2 respectively.
Pokopom PSX Pad Plugin v1.6 Changelog:
1.6 - 2011-08-12
Some internal changes to DualShock1. Also, now when in digital mode
the analog sticks can be used as dpad and face buttons respectively.

Fixed a DualShock2 bug that caused Ar Tonelico to crash on startup.
1.4 - 2011-08-09
Fixed tons of bugs on DualShock2, that solves many issues. Thus, it no
longer requires the previous FF12 hack either.
-. Added "pressure" emulation, dunno if it works well though.
-. Added Hot plug/unplug, which seems to work alright.
1.3 - 2011-08-09
Added DualShock2 support for PCSX2 and other whatnots for that emu.
Also, added some vibration stuff from Harakiri's update.
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-...dualshock.html
There's also a hacky auto_analog to avoid some issue with FF12. It kept
reverting back to digital mode.
-. Changed analog/digital toggle to the spacebar.
1.2 - 2011-08-08
Initial PCSX2 support.
1.1 - 2011-08-08

Our dear fede94boss got to hit the spotlight on our forums for its adrenaline-Take the Ball, returns to the homebrew scene with a new creation. Obstacle This is a homebrew game where the object will lead the Red qradratino across the screen while avoiding obstacles.
As suggested by the same title, Obastacle itself as a game with which to test our reflexes. Obstacles represented by white rectangles are not the only difficulty, we will indeed have to "solve" the levels before the end of time.
All the staff of PSP-ITA can only appreciate once again the work of fede94boss.
