The other day I posted that Sony have no plans for a PSP2, but depending on who you believe, apparently they do.
Eurogamer says that Sony plans the “refresh” the PSP product line with a PSP-4000 late 2009, and a PSP 2 later.
CVG has got it’s “grubby hands” on full list of features coming with Firmware 2.40 release for the PS3 including information that it is to be released around E3. CVG Sources say that it will be released in 3 weeks, and when is E3? 3 weeks. They also make a good point that making it available at the same time as announcing it, does seem to be the way things are getting it done these days. Apple are a perfect example with Steve Jobs usually saying “…and this is available today!” which is then greeted by a chorus of “yeah!”, “woo!”, “c’mon!”.
Hit the jump for the full list of features…
Resident Evil 5 was always going to be a rumors and controversy galore event, from the race controversy to whether or not it’s multi-platform. And now we’re back on the multi-platform or not question. According to PlaystationLifeStyle, the latest rumor is that there may be a HUGE announcement at E3, again this is pure speculation, so this isn’t a definite. But lately is has been said that Microsoft offered Capcom a massive sum of money for the exclusivity rights for RE5.
GayGamer writes that Capcom’s VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Christian ‘Sven’ Svensson “quickly stepped in to quell the panic.”
The assertion is false. RE5 is a multiplatform release that fits with our oft-stated crossplatform strategy. … For the avoidance of doubt… simultaneous release.
They do say that Sven doesnt clearly state which is untrue, the offer of money, or the exclusivity. Personally I think that if Capcom where to sell exclusivity to Microsoft, then bigger fools them, but it would hit Sony hard, even with the release of MGS4, if they lost RE5, that would be a pretty big hit. Whether or not Microsoft stepping in for this is to try to combat the exclusivity of MGS4 on Playstation, is unsure or not, but I would hate for RE5 to be an exclusive. Guess we will just have to wait for E3.
