Killzone 2, is already one of the most highly anticipated games coming to the Ps3. if that wasnt enough, Sony have now announced that the newly released trailer will be available in a playable form sometime next month.
Sony’s Scott Steinberg says: “The idea for the commercial centred on telling the story of war on Helghan – up close and very personal and to use the game’s engine to show it. No voodoo, no heavy metal soundtrack: just the true representation of the in-game graphics, The team at Guerrilla embraced the concept and we were on a production rollercoaster ride that produced a piece that will be broadcasted across several networks starting tomorrow.”
“To offer you some insight into the technology behind this game, we will release a playable version of this in-engine ad vignette on the PlayStation Network coming in March. You’ll be able to control the camera and hear director commentary on how the production was completed using only the game’s technology.”

All the buzz right now is about the Sony Playstation 3 but with the Sony PSX, the PS2 and now the PS3 it begs the question is there going to be a 4th console in the series and if so when? Playstatic are guessing its going to be around 2010, I think the fact that Sony’s expected life time of the Playstation 3 console is an estimated 10 years. The way that technology is going right now, a new console will have to launch within the next 5 years to keep updated with what video game software can provide for example, online gaming and gaming 3.0.
Right now the hoaxes have already started appearing on the web, with a classic ‘Rick roll’ appearing on Youtube stating.
“The playstation 4 was announced yesterday at a sony conference in Los Angeles.
Release date: TBA 2011″
This is however untrue, no one knows when the release date is going to be although rumors are currently flying around.
Something which popped up on a very well known and respected technology and gadgets blog back in 2006 before the PlayStation 3 wasn’t even out was Sony’s Phil Harrison’s wild speculations about the capability of Playstation 4. According to him, the PS4 won’t support physical discs. At all. He said: “I’d be amazed if the PlayStation 4 has a physical disc drive”, which sounds crazy to me? My first thought would be digital downloads.

‘Sackboy’
Think of Sackboy as an extension of you, an extension filled with just your creative elements. Though the game you can customize Sackboy to reflect your talents and personality. You can customize the little sack dude from head to toe and kit him up with some cool clothing.
Ps3 fanboy recently had the chance to actually sit down, relax (possibly with a beer) and play the new updated version of the Sony Playstation 3 exclusive > LittleBigPlanet. The latest version is pretty much an exact replica of the complete game, and had the guys over at Ps3fanboy clamoring for the game even more than ever before. At the core of our latest hands-on experience was the game’s “Story” mode, an adventure mode with pre-designed levels that challenge players to get to the end with the highest score possible.
The levels they played were quite varied. Players will navigate a globe, littered with icons that represent where each level was created. Already, we saw a map that featured dozens of levels — an overwhelming amount of content has already been crafted during the game’s painfully long development. The adventure mode is where the game will teach players the essentials of LittleBigPlanet: each level will demonstrate the possibilities of the game’s incredible engine. Massive mechanical beasts, complex physics-based puzzles, and a number of fun playable gizmos can be found within each level. At the completion of these levels, players will unlock more and more things to use in their own creations.
We were surprised by how challenging each level can be. One level had us being chased by a contraption that threatened to steamroll us into oblivion. If the obstacles placed in front of us weren’t enough of a hindrance, the creature shot out fiery balls of charcoal at the characters — a single touch would char them to death. Yes, your critters can die — and they’ll die quite often!
This is pretty much as good as getting a key right? check out the video of the first 14 minutes of amazing Ps3 gameplay from the LittleBigPlanet beta, including the opening sequence, the tutorial (walk though) – narrated by English comedian Stephen Fry – and the run-through of the first level.
With demand crushing Eurogamers as the PS3 faithful tried to get one of 5,800 keys for the test.
Watch it. Sorry about the quality. VideoGames247 are apparently getting a capture card very soon, so it’ll be direct-feed all the way from there on in (Which will be better for the quality, but anyway more about this amazing game!)
The first level in the LBP Beta on PS3. Named First Steps by The Gardens.
This is the introduction to the LBP Beta on PS3 only! Out in stores in UK on 24 October. The characters are called sackboys/sackgirls.
To watch a full 15minutes of the walk though head on over to VideoGames247. Check out this great Sony released documentary of Sackboy. As pleasing as ever!
In the LittleBigPlanet game you can even make a musical level if you want.

Sony has has allways been at the forefront of TV technology. Today the company went even further by introducing the first ever 240Hz LCD TV and the world’s thinnest TV.
Hold your breath until December (in the US), because that’s when Sony’s 240Hz LCD TVs will be available to the public. Currently LCD TVs are topping out at 120Hz for consumers, and that’s already a significant improvement in speed over the standard 50-60Hz of normal (for want of a better term) LCD TVs.
The new 240Hz technology promises to provide the smoothest, most lifelike and finest movement ever from an LCD TV and will be great for Playstation 3 gamers playing the latest games. We’re still a little concerned about 240Hz with movies though. As it is 120Hz makes TV and movies look a little crazy.
The 240Hz technology will be available in the KDL-46W1 and KDL-40W1 that boasts full-HD, 3,000:1 contrast ratio, BRAVIA Engine 2 and 24p support.
