Wipeout HD Delayed because of "failed" epilepsy testing

Event Status — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:13:34 GMT

Many, many things were missing from E3 last week but if you're a Sony fan, one of them was anything to do with the long-awaited PSN version of WipEout.

The streamlined HD racer was strangely absent from Sony's E3 conference, with the firm citing technical difficulties as the culprit.

We've been playing a near finished version of the game here in the office for ages now. Check out these exclusive movies to see how pretty it looks. All we were waiting for then was news of a release ...

DC Comics MMO Details

Event Status — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:28:50 GMT

For those looking forward to Superhero MMO's, this game will be played like City of Heroes. You can't be batman or superman, but you help them along their way with your created hero. I was looking forward to the Marvel MMO, but Xbox snatched it up as an exclusie, THEN cancelled the project, due to cryptic (the developer) being late on producing moe of the product. However, I'm sold on this.

I've seen on some message boards people are going to make the original super mario board (world 1-1) for others to play. However, I'm going in a different direction and the first board I'm creating is Pitfall.

GT5 Delayed till 2010

Event Status — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:17:38 GMT

At this year's E3, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Kazunori Yamauchi, the founder of Polyphony Digital and creative mastermind behind the studio's Gran Turismo franchise. The focus of the show for Polyphony was the full rollout of GT TV, the "television" channel built into Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Besides finding out about this portion of the game, I was also able to find out the status of the damage patch for Prologue as well as the current progress of Gran Turismo 5.

Not too long ago another kid from gamefaqs killed himself and another burned down a church off a dare, and now this. If this is true, which it seems to be right now, I hope these companies, who have taken this fun hobby and made it a competitive, money grubbing industry, are happy.

Here were the other two users.

Batman: The Dark Knight

For those going to see this movie tomorrow or this weekend, and have comcast. I suggest you watch on demand at the "Gotham Tonight" episodes. Six 8-10 minute episodes telling the story of what's happened after Batman Begins and before The Dark Knight starts. All main actors in the movie are featured in it and goes into a lot of detail, such as how the wayne's became billionaires, the rise and possible fall of Harvey Dent and how the ex-mayor wishes the worst for his well-being.
