Rumores da semana

1. Um novo Xbox deve chegar em 2009, com um novo chip e um chassis menor. Ele seria chamado de Xbox 540 e seria como um Xbox 2.5.
2. O novo console da Microsoft deve chegar em 2010 e permitirá que os donos de Xbox 360 levem para o novo console seus respectivos gamerscores.
3. DlC para Metal Gear Solid 4 deve chegar ao PS3 em julho ou agosto.
4. Killer Instinct 3 em produção. Um jornalista que estava fazendo um “tour” pelos escritórios da Rare UK teria avistado um papel pregado na parede com os dizeres: “Finishing move Picture in Picture cameras - still have issues with framing the key anims in 3+ player matches when someone is eliminated. ALL ARTISTS should be using the same Depths and field of view settings!” e logo abaixo tinha fotos dos jogo.
5. Em junho, perto do lançamento de Metal Gear Solid 4 a sony irá lançar o firmware 2.4 que trará alguns dos primeiros PlayStation Trophies. Esses “troféus” serão em 2D e ficaram na XMB, não são os 3D que serão usados na Home.

Não há confirmação desses rumores, são apenas coisas que estão aparecendo na internet e que podem ter um fundinho de verdade.

Novidades de Resident Evil 5

Novidades sobre o jogo foram reveladas pela revista Famitsu, aqui são algumas delas tiradas do site neogaff:

- A new trailer will be shown in the very near future.
- For now, Famitsu will show images and some info from one part of that trailer. (intro paragraph written by Takeuchi)
- There’s a new female character, shown holding a shotgun and wearing a tank top and boots similar to the ones Jill wore in RE3.
- In addition to areas that make use of sunlight as a gameplay dynamic, there will be darker, shadow-filled areas as well, such as a cavern where Chris utilizes a flashlight. There will be an intense contrast between light and dark.
- Chris is shown using his knife, a sniper rifle above a bridge that’s above a river, and of course the handgun.
- A few pieces of artwork are shown, such Chris fighting villagers near a crashed helicopter, that same helicopter flying amidst a smoke-filled sky, and Chris witnessing the helicopter being shot down. There’s also some kind of garden in the cavern with a giant hole above it, allowing the sunlight in.
- Chris is shown holding a blond girl noticeably shorter than him in a building.
- A picture of a chainsaw and the right leg of its weilder is shown.
- Chris will be up against very powerful enemies once again, and this shot of some creature behind iron bars is reminiscent of Chris’s previous enemies, such as CODE: Veronica’s Nosferatu (although it was Claire who faced him) and the REmake’s Lisa Trevor. Those two creatures were imprisoned at some point as well.

Demo de Too Human em breve

Denis Dyack CEO da Silicon Knights disse numa entrevista para a Eurogamer que o demo de Too Human deve chegar ao marketplace em breve. Aqui está o texto original: “We haven’t announced a date yet. Our goal is to try to get it out obviously before the game releases, and we’ll announce the specific timing of that shortly. But a demo is absolutely planned. We think it’s critical for the game. If things go as planned, gamers should get a demo well in advance before the game’s released.”
