Posted in GDC 2010, PlayStation 3, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios with tags , , on March 16, 2010 by James Love

Lordy lordy, yet another rumoured Gran Turismo 5 release date. How many is that now?

Italian gaming site are reporting that a Sony rep at GDC let slip that Gran Turismo 5 could potentially launch this October, with Sony’s marketing vice president Peter Dille confirming the game will ship this year.

We’d recommend not pinning your hopes on this yet though, with Gran Turismo the dates are always subject to change and until Sony give a firm and official date, we’ll remain cautiously optimistic.

Posted in E3 2010, Microsoft Games Studios, Rumours, Xbox 360 with tags , on March 16, 2010 by James Love

Whilst it hasn’t been officially confirmed as yet, EDGE are reporting that Gears of War 3 is set to release next year.

A “trusted US publishing source” told EDGE that the first teaser trailer for the game should appear next month on April 8th, a year before the rumoured April 2011 launch date. A full reveal at E3 is expected.

“Microsoft’s keen to avoid a clash with Halo: Reach and wants Natal to own Christmas. That’s why we won’t be seeing Gears Of War 3 until next year, but expect a major marketing push ahead of its release,” said EDGE’s source.

Codemasters VP: PSP “bollocking useless waste of space”

Posted in Codemasters, PlayStation Portable with tags on March 15, 2010 by James Love

A pretty damning statement wouldn’t you agree? Well that’s the thoughts of Codemasters Studios VP Gavin Cheshire about Sony’s portable console.

Speaking to Edge Chesire said “Well, speaking as a person who bought a PSP, the problem was that I always thought, because it was a better screen than iPods, that I’d be doing more with it.” However he went on to say “but it was such a bollocking useless waste of space; just getting stuff on it was ridiculous. That was its downfall.”

He went on to say “Relatively speaking, we didn’t do too badly on F1 PSP. Regarding the future, PSP Go’s a lovely device, but our senior VP bought one the day it came out and has a great story, because he ended up on some customer support line just trying to do basic stuff. He had to re-download his software, do an immediate firmware update, and that’s your user experience.”

His final criticism was brief but to the point, “Sony just hasn’t got it right. Stuff like that will make people leave it alone.”
