At the PlayStation Move press conference in San Francisco earlier today, Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Jack Tretton revealed that 36 third-party developers and publishers, including EA, Activision, Capcom, Konami and Square Enix, would be creating games or supporting the upcoming motion controller in one way or another.
In addition, Tretton confirmed that over 20 first-party games will be releasing from Sony in this fiscal year, which will no doubt include SOCOM 4 and the announced batch of 6 launch titles (which you can check out in screenshots over here).
You can look over the list of announced developers and publishers set to support PlayStation Move later this year in a handy list below:
[Update] Platinum Games’ Shinji Mikami has publicly stated that Vanquish is in development in-house for both the Xbox 360 and PS3, with the PS3 as the lead platform. More details below. [End of Update]
Vanquish, the next title from Platinum Games (Bayonetta, MadWorld), is sounding better all the time, but we’ve seen very little of the actual game itself, even after the debut trailer released in all of its CG and live-action splendour. That’s about to change, at least a little.
Platinum Games recently sent out the first volley of screenshots from Vanquish, and it’s looking mighty fine, with all of the futuristic polish and current-generation motion blur you can handle.
Have a look through four additional screenshots from Vanquish, plus some more detailed information about the game, below:
Shinji Mikami has stated in a recent interview that Platinum Games’ (Bayonetta, MadWorld) next title, Vanquish, will release on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, and as the game is over 80 percent complete, it will see a ‘Winter’ launch in Japan.
Furthermore, Mikami informed readers of Japanese videogame magazine Famitsu that Vanquish will indeed be a third-person shooter, but will not be a ‘normal’ entry to this genre, and will emphasise speed and fast-paced action.
SEGA and developers Obsidian Entertainment have released a new set of screenshots to showcase Alpha Protocol, the pair’s upcoming RPG set in the world of thrilling espionage action, complete with underhanded government tactics, secret agent operatives and the threat of impending nuclear war.
I wonder if Hideo Kojima has been visiting the Obsidian offices lately?
Anyway, if you’ll be good enough to cast your gaze in a downward direction, you’ll be able to sneak some peeks at Alpha Protocol (which was recently dated) with six of the latest screenshots from the game. Start casting:
Yakuza 3 features an extremely detailed and open world for you to explore, recreating the sights and sounds of Okinawa and Tokyo in impressive splendour, with all kinds of activities to keep you busy once you start poking around.
For a quick trip around the world, and some glimpses at the kinds of things you’ll be getting up to in Yakuza 3 when it releases on March 9th in the US and March 12 in the UK, head on down below to watch the newly released ‘Locations’ trailer:
After a series of delays, SEGA and Obsidian Entertainment have stamped official-sounding worldwide release dates on the pair’s upcoming PS3, PC and Xbox 360 ‘espionage RPG,’ Alpha Protocol, releasing an enthralling cinematic trailer alongside the announcement to start the ‘ole Hype ‘O Meter revving.
Sega’s arcade racing game, Sonic & SEGA All–Stars Racing, launched across North America yesterday, and to celebrate the publisher has released a suitably colourful launch trailer.
Sonic & SEGA All–Stars Racing features a character roster including SEGA classics such as Sonic, Amigo, Tails, AiAi and Dr. Eggman, all competing for the top prize in a variety of colourful and creative race courses. Each of these characters has its own specific ‘All-Star move’ to gain an advantage over competitors, while power-ups can be collected around the courses.
An incredible featurette trailer for the upcoming open-world Yakuza 4 action game from SEGA has been released, but it’s unfortunately all in Japanese…
Not to worry though, because non-Japanese speakers can still get a good feel for all of the new features in the game, including the improved combat system, the ability to learn moves and abilities from everyday citizens, the occasional need to chase down people who owe you money, and the chance to enter fighting cage matches.
Also on show are the incredibly dense environments with amazing attention to detail and tons of activities to partake in, the graphical improvements over previous Yakuza franchise entries, as well as some of the humour that’s been injected into the game.
Enjoy:
SEGA is pleased as punch that their latest action game, Aliens VS Predator, has become 2010’s fastest selling title in the UK, pushing previous record holder Bioshock 2 from the top spot, who in turn had forcibly shoved Mass Effect 2 from the coveted ‘fastest selling’ position.
According to a Twitter tweet from SEGA’s official account (and corroborated by data from UK sales tracker, Chart Track):
Have you managed to download and play the Yakuza 3 demo on PS3 just yet? You haven’t?
Maybe it’s just as well (although you still should!), because we’ve gathered up a number of gameplay videos from the demo featuring the sights and sounds of Yakuza 3, showing off the kinds of things you can expect to be getting up to while exploring the city (which, it seems, includes a lot of fighting, exploring and karaoke).
Watch ‘em below:
Sega is ramping up the hype for Yakuza 3 by giving us a heap of new serious looking screenshots for the game and a second gameplay trailer that introduces us to its starring cast.
Yakuza 3 will be available across the UK on the 12th of March. Luckily you don’t have to wait until then to step into the shoes of Kiryu Kazuma. That’s because a demo for the game landed on the PlayStation Network yesterday, enabling players to explore Japanese environments, complete a series of side missions from the game and take on two boss battles.
In case you needed any further convincing just how scary Aliens vs Predator is going to be, watch this new launch trailer for the game. The game hits shelves across the UK and Europe today, with South Africa following on the 26th of February.

SEGA and Rebellion have let the word out that a new and updated version of the PS3 multiplayer demo for their upcoming Aliens VS Predator first-person horror-fest is now available on PlayStation Network, fixing the matchmaking problems that saw some players having issues joining matches against their fellow face-eaters online.
The new demo also apparently contains additional functionality, such as the ability to create their own matches and browse for available matches to join. European Marketing Director of SEGA Europe, Gary Knight said in a statement:
