Square Enix have already confirmed that they will be appearing at, and taking their new engine to this years Game Developers Conference, but today it has been revealed that they will be announcing an MMO running from the “Same engine that Final Fantasy XIII uses” - the White Engine.

They will be making this announcement while speaking about the engine itself in a conference called “The Technology of Final Fantasy. FinalFantasy-XIII.net makes a point of reiterating that Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII are both still Playstation 3 exclusives as the white engine has been adapted by other parts of Square Enix and not originally developed to be multiplatform. To further confirm this, every trailer for both FFXIII and FFvXIII since the Playstation Premier had have “For Playstation 3 Only” at the end of them.

That’s right. A brand new Grand Theft Auto 4 website has hit the web, bringing great info, screens, and videos to love and drool over. Check it out at rockstargames.com. Enjoy!

Here is a new DMC4 TV Spot. I’m yet to actually see this one on TV, the one I’ve been seeing only advertises the Xbox 360 Version (Which is playing quite requently I might add), but the trailer is exactly the same. Perhaps Capcom is only the Xbox 360 one here for some reason? I guess they sell better here. Anyway, enjoy. Cheers to HuwWilliamsVideos for uploading.

Also, to celebrate DMC4 release tomorrow, enjoy some super high res, high quality, unwatermarked renders from DMC4!

So, this years Game Developers Conference is just around the corner beginning February 18th, and ending Feb 22nd, and these are the games we are hoping, no begging, to see!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Dev: Kojima Pro | Publisher: Konami | Release: Q2 2008 | Platform: Playstation 3

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots has been playable at pretty much every major gaming related event since it’s gameplay debut at the Playstation Premier, so hopefully at GDC not only will we get a demo, a new demo or hopefully another trailer as Ryan has been promising, but perhaps we might get the solid release date as Konami said they hope to have one “Near the end of Feb”. Perhaps they will also shed some light on the 4 yet-to-be-announced characters.

Final Fantasy XIII
Dev: Square-Enix | Publisher: Square-Enix | Release: TBA | Platform: Playstation 3

Ever since its debut in E3 2006, Final Fantasy XII has been looking more and more interesting, expanding what can be done on a home console and will no doubt revolutionize the RPG genre with it’s new, high speed battle system. However, Square seems very tight-lipped on the project, and apart from various screenshots and scans, they have only been releasing trailers for FFXIII once every year. It has so far been confirmed that Square Enix will attend GDC to talk about the engine powering Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the White Engine. Whether or not this means they will bring a trailer along is uncertain, but we definitely hope so.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Dev: Square-Enix | Publisher: Square-Enix | Release: TBA | Platform: Playstation 3

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is in the same situation as Final Fantasy XIII — We know pretty much nothing. What we do know however, can all be found here. This game also has a slight chances of appearing because it also uses the White Engine, but this is just speculation.

Killzone 2
Dev: Guerrilla Games | Publisher: Sony | Release: 2008 | Platform: Playstation 3

Information on Killzone 2 has been rather quiet since it’s gameplay debut at E3 2007. The most recent update since then was one, rather uninteresting, screenshot and a Developer stating that they might even beat their original target render. This seems like a good time to show off what their further improvements, unless they are saving it for E3 of course.

Eight Days
Dev: Sony | Publisher: Sony | Release: TBA | Platform: Playstation 3

Sadly, nothing whatsoever has been released about Eight Days since E3 2006, however the developer has confirmed that it is still under development and has not been scrapped.

The Getaway
Dev: Sony | Publisher: Sony | Release: TBA | Platform: Playstation 3

The Getaway PS3 (Unofficial title) has, much like Eight Days, not been seen since E3 2006. The game is under development at Sony’s London Studio who have just finished and released Singstar for Playstation 3. Let’s hope this means more time is being put into the next gen installment of The Getaway. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, the developer confirmed that the game hasn’t been halted and is still being made, and the trailer shown at E3 2006 will represent in-game footage.

So there’s our major list of titles we’re really hoping to see at GDC! Will it happen? The chances of Sony answering all of our prayers are slim to none - but they’ve got to show something so let’s hope we get lucky.

FinalFantasyVersusXIII.net have posted a couple of higher quality images previously seen in far lower quality from scanned
magazines.

ClimaxGroup.com have updated their front page which mentions a new, “unannounced” title which they’re producing for Konami. You may or may not know that this is the time that made Silent Hill: Origins for PSP which turned out great.

Hopefully this has some connection to the anniversary and Akira Yamaoka’s new project.

PSPSPS.tv is sick of poorly made multi-platform PS3 ports, and so are we. They’re proposing a boycott against the Playstation 3 version of The Orange Box which has been handed over to EA of all people for porting. Considering the problems which Madden, skate. and many other of EA’s attempts at a PS3 game have come out laggy and badly made, and according to 1UP.com Half Life 2: Orange Box for PS3 is no different.

So, are you going to pick it up? Or do you have the PC for it or maybe you simple don’t care. If you do, get it for PC if you can.

Unreal Tournament 3 has now officially been approved by SCEA and has now gone gold - meaning it will (hopefully) be out this year for Playstation 3… in the US. Localization issues such as adding new languages and such to the European version means it will probably be released Early 2008, according to Mark Rein. Don’t forget, if you just can’t wait PS3 is fully region free so you can always import!

Has Japan finally come to it senses? According to Famitsu.com the Playstation 3 has outsold the Nintendo Wii in Japan once again. It looks as though some PS3 games has sparked this welcomed jump in sales for Sony, which says only want thing. More games will sell more PS3s! Not that we didn’t know that already, mind.

In this months issue of Dengeki Playstation Tetsuya Nomura has been interview in which he finally mentions Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

“Nomura says that with the help of the disc space on Blu-Ray and the Hard drive in each PS3, The evolution of Final Fantasy XII to XIII will be as big as the evolution of Final Fantasy VI to VII. He also says that Final Fantasy XIII will probably be the first game to use the full specifications of the Playstation 3. Another interesting thing he mentioned was that the airship present in Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be able to take part in airborne assaults over the world map. Hopefully we’ll see that in action soon. Finally, Dengeki also asked him once again whether the games will be Playstation 3 exclusives which he replied to with “Of course”.”
