So Why Did Naughty Dog Thank Bungie?
Posted in PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 with tags Bungie, Halo, Naughty Dog, Neil Druckmann, Unharted 2 on October 14, 2009 by Chris Hawke
You might be surprised to find that, at the end of Uncharted 2, developer Naughty Dog lists developer Bungie in the credits, thanking them. For what, you ask? Neil Druckmann said:
“Re: thanking other developers. We try to be quite open with our technology and our process. We exchanged technology and ideas with other developers. We wanted to make sure we thanked everyone that helped us out in some way.”
It’s nice to see that despite being PS3 and Xbox developers, they can still find time to be friendly. We’re still miffed as to why Naughty Dog left us out the credits, though…
New FFXIII Scan Appears from Japan
Posted in Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII Japanese Launch Portal, PlayStation 3, Square Enix, Xbox 360 on October 14, 2009 by Jonathan Cullen
A new scan of Final Fantasy XIII has appeared from Japan.
We dont quite know which publication it is from, but we’re pretty certain this isn’t most likely from Famitsu.
The scan shows the blue-haired Aussie speaking character from the end of the Tokyo Game Show trailer, who is supossidly known as Oerba Yun Fang according to early translations, with her summon being Bahamut.
However we again must stress this hasn’t been confirmed yet as these are early translations that are going about.
Catch the scan after the jump.
Game’s out on December 17 in Japan for PS3. There will be alot more info on the game next week in Famitsu.

Left 4 Dead Achievements Revealed, Confirms Campaigns
Posted in Valve, Xbox 360 with tags Achievement list, Left 4 Dead 2 on October 13, 2009 by Chris Hawke
All 50 of the Xbox 360 Achievements have been released, and they look as hard as ever.
They all add up to 1000 points, and confirm that the rumored last two campaigns that were leaked a week ago are, indeed, true. You’ll be slicing through zombies in Dead Center (Dead Rising, anyone?), and battling forces natural (and unnatural, obviously) in Hard Rain.
The achievements that really catch our eye are the ‘Prove you are faster/stronger than Moustachio’ ones. Obviously set in the Dark Carnival campaign, we can only guess what it entails; probably using a melee weapon to compete in one of those Whack-A-Mole and Strength Tester attractions. Then killing some zombies. Duh.
RUMOUR: Yakuza 3 coming to the US
Posted in PlayStation 3, SEGA with tags Amusement Vision, Yakuza 3 on October 13, 2009 by James Love
Over at NeoGAF, Cyntec has stated that Yakuza 3 will be making its way to the US.
“Yesterday Sega told me alot about Yakuza 3, after begging for more information about a western release.
To short this up: Sega brings Yakuza 3 with an english translation. Japanese voice, english subtitles – just like Y2. No internal release-date set so far, but I guess it will hit early 2010.”
Cyntec also said that Yakuza Kenzan (a spin off from the Yakuza series) won’t be coming along with it.

Upcoming RPG Dragon Age: Origins is set to receive varying amounts of DLC. Speaking to TheGameReviews, Mark Darrah (producer on Dragon Age: Origins) confirmed that “[they] have plans that stretch out for basically two years. And it’s going to be everything from really small stuff like item packs up to larger quests that might last an hour or two up to even fully fledged expansion packs.”
The content is confirmed to be coming to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 minus the modding tools which will remain PC only.
