You’ll see reams of stories from your favorite sites about these heaviest hitters, and we’ll summarize a good deal of them here (in addition to our own coverage).
Between that and Patapon 3 – it’ll be a great week!

Jeff, it’s the Shape of Things To Come! Super excited. This week as amazing for PlayStation. I’m most proud of how much money PlayStation users raised for Japan.
Hope the US version of the PlayStation Android App is coming along nicely :)
Jeff,
Any update on the My Trophies issue?
Oh sweet, I’m so hyped for Patapon 3!! From what I’ve seen, I’ll be playing this for 3 days straight, then I’ll collapse from exhaustion. When I recover from that I’ll play for another 3 :D Seriously, best game ever.
Wow, really looking forward to all the news this week. Also, just found out that Sony’s E3 Press Conference is on Monday, June 6th. We’re getting pretty close, we should get a countdown started! Only 57 days to go!
what about the DS being a babysitting tool ;) that has to sting can’t wait to pre-order NGP
lol @ 4
I didn’t like Jack said that but what can I do? I like both Sony and Nintendo and in the end, I’m a gamer =)
Well, here’s a quick suggestion, there’s should be an avatar as a gift when you donate money o Japan. When I used to live in Mexico, we were given a sticker to put in on our t-shirt when we donated money to the red cross in school so I think that could be a nice idea.
Hope to see new PSone classics when “the drop” drops this aftenoon.
Jeff, are you guys going to get D3 on the blog again to talk about WKC 2 and/ or WKC: Dogma Wars? I assume they’re probably picking up the rights to the PSP game as well. I’m glad that the cat is out of the bag finally. Sad that Sony doesn’t want to back their own I.P.s though. I do hope that we will get all the DLC that Japan has.
I’ll invite D3 onto the Blog, surely.
So with previews for inFAMOUS 2, Twisted Metal, Ratchet & Clank All4One, Resistance 3, UNCHARTED 3 in the coming week, will you guys be posting any coverage or interviews about Capcom’s Captivate 2011? Did you guys go to the Event? Argh, I need to know who’ll they add as MvC3 Character DLC !
Thanks so much for the TM release date. I can finally stop bugging you guys and Jaffe’s about info! Can’t wait for the media event!
Nice to see Resistance 3 shaping up visually to what Resistance 2 should have been. Not to thrilled by the loss of Co-op 8 Player Separate Campaign or the return of the weapon wheel, but at least its looking like a promising experience. Really bothered me when Killzone 2 managed to crush Resistance 2 in visuals. Still kind of sadens me that Killzone 3 lost the visual magic of Killzone 2 something was lost…. at least with REsistance 3 it seems I’ll get what I wanted out of KZ3 visually that I loved in Killzone 2.
Rambling done.
Hell yeah. Hype up dat Holiday lineup!
The Blog should start reviewing games..
You don’t really mean that, do you? :)
You know, it was only today that I noticed the resemblance between Robin Van Persie and yourself, Jeff. Uncanny.
An ex-gf of mine used to say the same thing, actually.
Whoops, forgot to ask…is Sony’s E3 really at 5pm on the 6th June like IGN say? That sucks if so, as it’ll be the middle of the night in the UK :(
Can’t Sony go last, like always at 12pm :)
That is true indeed. Stay up late!
Plz Breath of fire 3 and 4 for psone classics someday
Yeah, you totally need to get the guys localizing WKCII on the blog so I could bombard them with annoying nerdy questions. Been desperately wanting the sequel since I beat the original White Knight Chronicles.
Sounds good to me!
happy that wkc2 and disgaea4 are making it to our shores.was surprised that sony decided not localize the game themselves. but, i think thats understandable because the game carries a financial risk/burden to it?
anyways,sid asked for a link to the supposedly new browser for the ps3. i will post it down bellow
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=402172&page=6
ok jeff and sid is this true? i hope it is because the browser needs an upgrade because it crashes the ps3 very often
That thread started last July, and *appears* to be Sid misunderstanding the question (not an uncommon thing on Twitter). I think that Tweet was teasing the redesign of this Blog, the planning of which was getting underway at that time.
Sweet! Really looking forward to ALL the titles you just mentioned. One question: When can we expect a North American release date for Motorstorm Apocalypse? I’m REALLY pumped for that game. Thanks!
I don’t know the exact timing, but I can tell you that you’ll read it here first!
jeff,thanks for the reply!
it really sucks that there’s not going to be an upgrade to the browser :(.hope there’s a better one for the next console or even the npg/psp2 :0
Hey guys, seen the boxart for LA Noire on PS3 and it says Exclusive Content only on playstation. Any word on what that is?
Jeff: Here’s the post with the new news (I guess I should’ve started a new thread after all):
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=27012121&postcount=260
Short version: Sony posted the source for the webkit (the guts of Chrome and Safari browsers) port that they’re porting to the PS3. In October they just posted the javascript engine, now there’s what looks like most of a browser, complete with HTML 5 test pages. Any further info would be nice. :)
I dropped $25 on the first Japan Aid theme and it’s my favorite one. Reminds me of me and my girlfriend so it’s special. We also live and work in Japan so the whole campaign means a lot to us. Thanks for making it happen. I’m going to be checking every new theme as well; I’ll be more than happy to make another donation through the PSN if another one catches my eye.
LETS GET INNOVATIVE WITH THE MOVE BESIDE ATTACTHMENTS.LETS DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING CURRENTLY AND PREVIOUSLY. GET RID OF THE BOUNDING BOXES, ITS OUTDATED, ITS AWFUL FOR TURNING/LOOKING. LETS IMAGINE WITH THE MOVE IF THE CROSS HAIRS OR WHAT THE PLAYER WAS SEEING WERE PLACED STUCK IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN AND YOU HAD TO HOLD THE MOVE BUTTON DOWN TO LOOK AROUND AND TURN TO LOOK/aim LEFT,RIGHT,UP,DOWN. PLAYERS COULD SWIPE THE MOVE CONTROLLER BACK AND FORTH AS YOU PRESSED THE MOVE BUTTON TO TURN AND LOOK PLACES (WOULD HAVE TO TAP THE MOVE BUTTON AND SWIPE THE MOVE IN THE DIRECTION THEY DESIRED QUICKLY. ONCE U RELEASE THE MOVE BUTTON YOUR CHARACTER WOULD STOP LOOKING AND STAY STILL IN THAT DIRECTION SUCH AS IF I WERE LOOKING AT THE SKY THEN I WOULD STAY STUCK LOOKING AT THE SKY ONCE I RELEASED THIS MAKES FOR ACCURATE AIMING AND LOOKING, NO JITTERY MOVEMENTS AND CRUMMY BOUNDING BOXES. THIS WOULD ALLOW YOU TO PRESS THE MOVE BUTTON SWIPE THE MOVE LEFT OR RIGHT OR ANYWERE TO LOOK WHILE MOVING AND ONCE U RELEASE YOU WOULD BE AIMED AT YOUR TARGET. SO SIMPLE BUT WHY HASNT IT BEEN DONE. SPREAD THIS IDEA ZIPPER IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE IN GAMES AND MAKE THINGS BETTER.
