Based on a series of leaks, Sony's NGP will be officially named the Playstation Vita (Vita means life in Italian) and PS Vita as the short name.
The leaks came due to a new domain for the developer website of the portable recently was registered as "vita.scedev.net" to go along with the previously registered NGP domain. Another source ended up being two blogs which had some ties to sources inside of Sony leaked more stuff about PS Vita but was taken down by Sony and forced to issue an apology. According to some developers, the portable was never meant to be named NGP nor was that ever its codename because Vita was the actual codename with Sony also leaning it becoming the official name. The reason the NGP was leaked as the name is due to Sony forgetting to give an official name and told the press its name was NGP. Quote:
The official specs for the system are still unknown but based on recent reports, Sony has been removing and lowering some of the power for the cheaper model while keeping the regular specs for the more expensive model. The operating system, RAM, and CPU have been rumored to be cut by 50% while the harddrive rumored at 16 GB has been removed for the base model. Sony's official stance regarding the leaks and the name is to not believe what is being posted on the internet but like every Sony leak that ends up real, the company also didn't deny the leaks were fake. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/what-w...ion-vita/3275/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Square-Enix reveals Final Fantasy V and Chrono Trigger will be arriving on the US PSN at some time either in 2011 or 2012. This news comes months after Europe and Japan were confirmed to be getting both on PSN. 2) Sony's official response to Congress about the PSN hacking incident is the company has no clue who hacked them and doesn't believe any credit card info was stolen. This news contradicts previous statements by Sony to everyone saying they knew their credit card database was hacked into and they had some idea of which groups could have hacked them. 3) Nintendo and Sakaguchi confirms The Last Story on the Wii will be arriving in Europe in the near future and rumored to announce the actual date along with the US release at this year's E3. |

How do you say that. Veeta or Vita. Both sound incredibly dumb, but so did the Wii at first.

Vee-ta from what most people who speak Italian on gaming websites and forums are saying and not the older Latin version of Vi-ta.
It also appears to be related to cellphones being part of someone's "life" more than the Wii being part of playing games together to get the "we." Then again Sony originally marketed the PSP more as a handheld media device than a gaming handheld and only switched once developers started to bail and the iPhone/iTouch dominated media devices. |

Random bit of trivia/history:
We all know that our SMB2 isn't actually the "real" SMB2 and is just a "re-skin" of a game called Doki Doki Panic. It turns out that's wrong. Miyamoto was working on SMB2, which he had already announced/promised publicly. Our SMB2 was what he was working on and it was always going to be SMB2 until Nintendo got the rights to quickly make a game based on an anime. As SMB2 was the only game close enough to completion at that time, they threw out Mario and stuck in the Doki Doki characters. The Japanese SMB2 was quickly thrown togethor and put on sale while we got SMB2 as it was intended. |

Guru Larry.
He's a UK based TV presenter who used to have a show on some obscure tv channel I never watched. He was part of "Screwattack Europe" when it was around and still does stuff online. I don't think it's his style to make up news stories, so I believe him. Though he doesn't give a source for where he found that info out. |

Fallout Online, Earthworm Jim 4, and three other projects by Interplay are closer to being cancelled than becoming a reality as the company announces it is currently facing severe financial problems.
In a filing to the SEC, Interplay posted a $2.9 million debt with just $3,000 in its cash reserves with the worst news being the loss of its credit card deal to help fund the projects. The company itself does not have enough money to pay its employees in advance but will now pay them based on revenue-shares for completed games, if they get completed. The legal issues surrounding Fallout Online between Interplay and Bethesda contributed significantly to Interplay's financial problems and cost the company more money than was expected to make in revenues. Interplay was also placed on a high risk of liquidation and bankruptcy with the company possibly selling off most of its assets to continue operating and finishing its projects. The company already has cancelled or dropped most of its projects with only 5 being worked on at the moment http://screwattack.com/blogs/ScrewAt...ne-May-be-Dead http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/31/fa...play-crumbles/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Quick News Round-Up: 1) Sony confirms PSN Store will not be up by their most recent deadline of May 31/June 1 and now has "end of the week" (June 3/4) as the new deadline date. 2) Nintendo drops the price of the DS Lite to $99 as part of the final phase of the system's life and to clear out all the remaining stockpiles to make more room for the 3DS. 3) Syphon Filter 4 appears to be currently in development after Sony accidentally posted some info and a logo for the game on its Playstation blog before quickly taken down all the stuff. |

I don't really like playing any game online if it means co-oping with random people. If I'm going up against them, great. Otherwise, no.
Random thing on another topic but if you listen to videogame music in Windows Media Player and right click the play button to slow the music down, a lot of VG music still sounds pretty good. A lot of the character themes from MvC3 work. Viper, Dante and Sentinals, for example, along with the Duke Nukem Forever version of the Duke Nukem theme sound like they'd be used for heel wrestler entrance themes when slowed down. Captain Americas theme slowed down doesn't sound very "heel wrestler" but it still sounds cool. Sounds slightly "end credits"-like. |

Quick News Round-Up:
1) Based on a leaked box art from EA Store that was quickly taken down, Mass Effect 3 will be using Kinect controls to go along with the series regular controls. 2) THQ reveals Darksiders 2 is in development and is set to arrive on the Xbox 360, PC, and PS3. THQ also announced the game will be bigger in size, more openess for exploration, more upgrades, and a new character named Death as the main character of the game. 3) After delaying and rejecting a few Aliens projects, Sega finally confirms Aliens: Colonial Marines will be arriving next year and Gearbox is the studio developing the game. The game is not expected to have any tie-ins to the expected Aliens film also set to arrive in 2012. 4) XBLA exclusive Crimson Alliance announced by developer Certain Affinity with a release date expected during Summer 2011. The game is set as a class-based RPG and allows both local and online co-op play. The studio said its past work on Halo and Call of Duty map packs were influential in the design and gameplay process. |

Ubisoft reveals a new Rainbow Six game is in development but this time it is a remake or retelling of the original Rainbow Six game. Similar to how GoldenEye for the Wii was a retelling of the N64 game, Ubisoft is doing the same with the new Rainbow Six game.
The game will take place primarily in New York with the villains being home-grown terrorists upset at Wall Street. The story is also revealed to be more in depth than the typical Tom Clancy game and more similar to a cinematic presentation. Gameplay-wise, the remake will drop most of the gameplay style from Vegas and other Rainbow Six games and return to the classic tactical and stealth shooter of the early games. The cover system from Vegas will be kept as a way from switching between first and third person perspectives. Ubisoft did not announce if more of the game will be shown at E3 but at the moment very unlikely. They also didn't announce which systems the game will arrive but based on the on-screen prompts, a PC and Xbox 360 version should be available. http://kotaku.com/5807528/rainbow-si...r-fucking-mind --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of leaks and news so a larger than normal Quick News Round-Up: 1) Konami kicks off the pre-E3 show with their press conference tonight at 5pm Pacific (8pm Atlantic). 2) The Witcher II has been confirmed to be arriving on the Xbox 360 as an exclusive title. 3) Sony once again trashes a Nintendo system this time saying the NGP/Vita has no real competition in both handheld and phone devices and calls the 3DS just as a simple "updated" DS. 4) Team Ninja released some screens for Ninja Gaiden III which could hint the game taking place in London or for part of the story based on some signs in the background. The game is also about 30% done according to the company. 5) No hope for a Sheamue III coming any time soon as the creator of the series has left Sega and revealed his studio is currently working on a new Kinect Fighting game. |

A female protagonist on board a ship that's taking on water? Sounds familiar.
SPOILER: show But seriously, the trailer looks great and even though I've never been a fan of the Tomb Raider series and only ever played the first game in 1996, even then, I just fooled around on it, the trailer does leave me interested in the game. I'm looking forward to seeing some gameplay footage in the future and hearing more about it. |

EA announces it is competing against Steam for the PC digital distribution market as it announces its own DD service and puts the upcoming Star Wars Old Republic MMO game as an exclusive for the service. However, at the moment EA has not cut all ties with Steam for their previous PC games.
The service is being named Origin and is EA's attempt to take on Steam in the PC market while also expanding their own presence in the PC market after ignoring PC games for years in favor of console games. The name comes from a past EA purchase of a company called Origin Systems which was a big name developer for PC games in the 1980s and 1990s. As part of their plan to be Steam's rival, EA announced as of now they have 150 titles ready for launch and will offer exclusive collector/limited edition of PC games similar to console versions having their own special editions. Battlefield 3, FIFA 12, and a few others were revealed in getting the exclusive PC collector's editions. The store and overall structure of the service mimics a lot from Steam but also provides for mobile service which is something Steam doesn't do for the store. EA will also tie its mobile games into the new service for easier access to the Origin service. EA is expected to reveal more of the new digital distribution service along with more games and "exclusive" features at E3 this year. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/03/ea...wnload-the-ol/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quick News Round-Up: 1) Team ICO HD remake set given a price and release date for Japan and it could be some bad news if Sony keeps the same price structure. ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are not an actual set but can be bundled together with a $50 price per game and $87 price together in Japan. 2) Take Two clears up some potential worries involving X-Comm reboot by announcing the game has a March 6, 2012 release date and the project is progressing well in development. 3) Sony could be going back on their promise to make the NGP/Vita cheap after continuing explaining how they feel customers will be willing to pay the price the company has for the handheld and how all the crammed features make owning a 3DS or mobile device not needed. As of now, only the non-3G model is getting its specs and stuff lowered down. |

Nintendos next console's controller gimmick has been basically confirmed by Nikki, Japan's trade newspaper.
Of all the dumped so far, it confirms the 6" touchscreen, camera and the fact that it can actually be used as a stand-alone console. |

Maybe it'll be like that thing Kojima is doing with MGS:PW. You play it on the PS3, transfer the data to your PSP, play it on PSP when you're out and about and then transfer it back to your PS3 when you get home.
Knowing Nintendo, they would likely put something like that in a game. Rare items only found by going outside with your controller or something. |

Besides the change of location and the target being Wall Street, Ubisoft didn't mention a whole lot on the story itself or how the changes still make it resemble Rainbow Six 1 and not an original game.
If its anything like GoldenEye for the Wii, they might change around some of the places and order the missions take place but also kept most of the actual story unchanged. In this case, Ubisoft might keep the story still being the debut of the Rainbow team and the virus as the main problem. |
