Start your engines, internet rumor machine.
Steven Spielberg’s secret EA project, which was once known as LMNO, now has a name and it’s now known under the monkier of Eve. The piece of info comes from the CV of former EA staffer, Melissa Garza who worked at the publisher between July 08 and October 08.
The game shows up on her CV.
Further confirmation comes from another CV from another former EA staffer, Raffael Dickreuter, who worked on the game on texturing, texture painting and modeling.
It was only a week ago when rumor went about the project was cancelled, but EA stated that the project is still in development.

Amy E. Gilbert and Joshua Samuels Atkins are to be married Sunday in San Francisco. Rabbi Bruce Greenbaum is to officiate in the Penthouse of the Fairmont Hotel.
Ms. Gilbert, 31, is keeping her name. She is studying for a Ph.D. in molecular medicine at King’s College in London. She graduated from Middlebury.
She is a daughter of Kathy Kearns of San Francisco and the late Nathan Gilbert, who lived in San Mateo, Calif. Her mother retired as a program manager for Meals on Wheels in Santa Cruz, Calif. Her father was a lawyer in San Mateo.
Mr. Atkins, 34, is the lead game designer for Fable III, a video game series produced by Lionhead Studios in Guildford, England. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Wait, what?
Mr. Atkins, 34, is the lead game designer for Fable III, a video game series produced by Lionhead Studios in Guildford, England. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Ah, we see. Personally, we’re siding with the fact that it could be a typo. However, thats not to say Lionhead are working on the game. Peter Molyneux has come out and said in the past that he has arc’s set up for Fable’s III, IV and V. Plus, earlier this year at the gaming BAFTA’s, comedian Jonathan Ross said that he was doing voicework on the game.
Lionhead however are a busy bunch for Fable III right now though, they’re working on the Natal game, Milo.
Let the shitstorm of manly fluids of PS3 owners or potential owners commence. SCEA’s filed a patent for technology which would allow backwards compatabillty for the PS2 to the PS3 without any hardware change.
According to Silconera, Sony has the technology to be able to add in the Emotion Engine, the PS2′s graphics engine as what Cell is to the PS3 if you didnt already know (stupid!), without making any signifigant hardware changes to the PS3, although it does seem like a hardware change is coming regardless, we think you know what that is. It also opens the way to PS2 downloads on the PS Store which has long been rumored.
PS2 BC on the PS3 was in the console from launch but since then, it’s being removed from all later PS3 SKU’s, the only way to have a BC PS3 was if you had a PS3 launch console, and even then it would only play most PS2 games, but not all.
Keep looking, Cologne.
Looking for a way to get into the MAG beta? Try and become a beta trial member in Europe, it looks like, for now, to be the only way your gonna get in the beta.
Shimja, European franchise producer for MAG and SOCOM, has said that it will be a beta trial members only affair according to a post of the EU PS Forums.
Sorry to pee on your proverbials all, but MAG is likely to be tested by the Beta Trial community only in Europe. If plans change then you’ll be made aware of how you can register, but I just don’t want people getting their hopes up unnecessarily.
This cant bode well. It’s out this Fall for PS3.
Oh boy, oh boy, oooooooh boy, we hope this one is coming soon.
Some shots of what appears to be Test Drive Unlimited 2 have come online thanks to a little digging from TDU Central (via Gamersyde). Some screens and art materalised before today, but it seems that this one is getting closer and closer to an announcement soon.
We want TDU2 quite simply, it was a fine racing game for the Xbox 360? Will it come to the PS3 though this time? Most likely yes, so keep an eye out. Hit the links above to get more.
Kazunori Yamauchi of Polyphony Digital has said to AutoWeek magazine (via GT Planet) that a release date for Gran Turismo 5 is incoming and will be announced soon.
Specfically soon? How does Tokyo Games Show sound? Thats what we’re hearing. And as GT Planet points out, they announced the release date for GT5: Prologue at TGS 07. Question now is this, when is the release? Well, if your being honest, 2010 we think. But Yamauchi has being hinting quite alot that they can release the game at any stage, and there has been rumor of a release for before Christmas, December 1st infact.
We look forward to the news with berated breath.
Capcom’s confirmed that Marvel vs Capcom 2 wont be seeing the light of day until late July according to .
MvC2 is not actually coming out on June 29, sorry guys. Not sure where that rumor came from, but it’s going to be closer to the end of July.
So any chance of it coming in the final two days of June for PS3 and 360 are now gone. Nerr!
Microsoft’s confirmed that anybody living in the US (or for that extent, anyone with a US gamertag) who has a Xbox Liver Silver account will be able to play 1vs100 this weekend for free, alongside them Gold members.
