Namco’s announced that’ll be bringing a demo of the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia to the Japanese PS Store as of Monday, July 13th.
The news comes by way of .
The game touches ground on September 17th for the PS3. So far, no Western plans for the game, other then a release for the Xbox 360 a couple of weeks ago. It’s being published by Namco-Bandai.
There’s hope yet for PLAYSTATION 3 owners, looking to get a sweet fix of that juicy Mass Effect 2, it might still come to that big black box yet.
According to Joystiq, when they talked to BioWare’s Matt Atwood, he confirmed that the game was still being released as a 360 exclusive alongside the PC, he did confirm that EA, and not Microsoft Games Studios who published Mass Effect 1 for the 360 two years ago, own the IP after they bought BioWare a year and a half ago.
Yes. EA owns the rights to Mass Effect.
And there ya have it, believe PS3 owners.
It’s out 2010 for 360 though as it stands.
UPDATE: This shit just got confusing. VG247 has just emailed SCEE about it and, well, SCEE are retracting the October date.
Honestly, either this is a retraction or someone’s made a poo-poo. Cant wait to see the inbox for GO.
UPDATE 2: Yup, it was a honest mistake. Our guy at SCEE emailed GOONL!NE about an hour ago to let us know that the October date was for review code and assets. So, it still remains at Autumnn… for now. But it is coming.
Original Story: Only known for a Fall release date thus far, Uncharted 2 will launch in Europe for PLAYSTATION 3 in October, thats what SCEE has told GOONL!NE this afternoon when we went to SCEE about a specfic release date.
In an email to GO, a SCEE rep told us that, while no exact specfic date was confirmed, the game is “currently scheduled for an October release.” However, we were told that a specfic date would be coming “closer to launch”.
When it was revealed back at the Spike Video Game Awards in December, it was announced for a Fall 2009 release date. And only last week, Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells confirmed that a date would be coming very soon in a PS Blog livetext, but still had it down as Fall.
It was only confirmed today that GameTrailers would show a brand new 3 minute cutscene of the game never shown before, as well as a brand new level also never seen before, in their Uncharted 2 themed episode this week.

Director of the PlayStation Network in the US, Eric Lempel, has said that the PSN is no longer playing “catch up” with Xbox Live.
It comes in an interview with IndustryGamers.
I don’t think there’s a lot of ‘catch up’ [with XBL] any more. In some cases, I think we’ve got more, and we’ve got some other things they don’t have. In terms of strengths, of course we’re still free, and we’re giving you a lot for free. It’s not just free online gaming, but we’ve got PlayStation Home, which is a massive community and application that’s totally free to use. I think there’s a lot we’re doing that in some cases they’re not doing, and I don’t see a lot of things they’re doing that we’re not.
