Team Ninja to do more Playstation 3 games? + Euro Sigma demo
Ninja Gaiden Sigma director Yosuke Hayashi has constantly defended Playstation 3 and hasn’t had a bad word to say about it, despite blowing up a few dev kits in the development of Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Good news is that his kind words continue!
In an exclusive interview with Eurogamer, he states:
“As I said, people who complain about the difficulty of creating games for PS3 should get out, right?” Hayashi commented. “While I’m saying that kind of thing, if I get out myself, then what I say doesn’t mean anything! So, I should stay - right?”
Yes, Hayashi. Yes you should stay! Read the full interview here.
As well as this, PRO-G.co.uk is reporting that the European store will get the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo “some time in the next few weeks”. Yeah, like we haven’t already downloaded it from the U.S store.

ThreeSpeech:”Anticipated title from 2K Games (also appearing on Xbox 360) is BioShock.”
“Semi-Official” Playstation Blog ThreeSpeech have written an article on future PS3 games in which they mention Bioshock as “also appearing on Xbox 360)” which is a massive hint that Bioshock might be seeing a Playstation 3 release. Of course, this doesnt make its official by any means but we can hope he knows something we dont.
However they do also predict that Final Fantasy XIII “should be released around Christmas” when Tetsuya Nomura has already stated that we wont be seeing Final Fantasy XIII this year. Of course, again that means nothing so we’ll have to wait and see. ;P

Ubisoft launch teaser for next Tom Clancy game
Today, Ubisoft have launched a site which looks like a teaser for the next Tom Clancy game. Reason being that the Tom Clancy soldier can be seen on the bottom of the page. The site is interactive but doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense in the text, however clicking some bits of text activates either a creepy noise or a small video clip. It looks to me like this is a soldier who has been injured and just remembering something…
Check it out for yourself here.
Grand Thefto Auto IV Trailer Online…sort of
The countdown on the website has finished, but the trailer seems to be unviewable. Probably because of the huge amount of traffic the site is more than likely getting, but when i try and access it i get this message:

Lol, I was sorta looking forward to it when the counter hit 1, now it doesnt seem to be working at all. Should fix itself in time.
Edit: Okay, as of 12:25am GMT it still isnt working, which is fine because if you’re an IGN insider you can download it from IGN.com here.
Edit2: Bah, Thats taking just as long to loaaad. What a time for my IGN Subscription to run out. -_- The official site finally loaded, but when i went to download it (Cos it was streaming and not playing for some reason — ffs) i got this message:

lol what the hell? Sanandreas?
David Hayter talks about Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
David Hayter speaks on his role as Solid Snake in MGS4. This is official confirmation that he will indeed play snake in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. He talks a little bit about the “soft spot for solid snake in his heart” (awww) and a little about his character in the next Metal Gear game. He explains how snake is aging and he knows this is his final mission…
He talks quite passionately about the game which I like a lot! I couldn’t here the “Snake” in his voice to begin with, and it made me sad…but you can here him there in the background, especially when he says “Metal Gear” XD His voice seems to get more and more “Snake” the longer you listen to the interview. David Hayter is such a cool guy, I cant wait for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. God, I love the quotes he makes xD “Shadow Moses?!” “Meryl?!” “A submarine?!” “Hind-D?!” XD
Next week they’ll have an interview with Kris Zimmerman, so look forward to that!

Devil May Cry 4 goes Multi-Platform
Capcom announced today that Devil May Cry 4, previously exclusive to the Playstation 3 is now going to be released on Xbox 360 and PC to “maximize profits”.
” Capcom’s “Devil May Cry 4″ Goes Multiplatform! Mega-hit Title set for PLAYSTATION® 3, Xbox 360™ and PC!
Capcom Co., Ltd., a world-wide leader in the gaming industry, is proud to announce the development of “Devil May Cry 4″ for the PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360™ and PC platforms.
“Devil May Cry” is a series of popular, stylish action games, with a cast of unforgettable characters. Since the release of the original “Devil May Cry” in 2001, the series has shipped 6,800,000 copies as of December 31st, 2006, proudly making it one of Capcom’s flagship titles. The series appeal is not limited to games; an animated TV series to be broadcast on Japan’s WOWOW network is slated to air Spring 2007. The latest iteration, “Devil May Cry 4″ will take advantage of each platform’s hardware strengths to achieve the most stunning visuals in the series to date, and the introduction of a mysterious new protagonist will keep the action fast and fresh. Even before its release, “Devil May Cry 4″ has been met with tremendous anticipation, as fans patiently endured long lines at TOKYO GAME SHOW 2006 for the chance to play the demo. “Devil May Cry 4″ will be released simultaneously for the PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360™ platforms.
Capcom was among the first software developers in the world to make games for the next-generation consoles, and those efforts have been met with great success. In addition, Capcom’s use of an integrated development environment is one of the many methods being employed to improve efficiency and help take advantage of the cutting-edge functionality in next-generation systems.
Capcom will continue to produce titles that appeal to users while pursuing a multiplatform strategy to help enhance profits.”
I’m not really upset or anything. :P Its a bit disapointing that PS3 has lost another exclusive but I understand why. The PS3 is 4/5 months old, there aren’t enough consoles in homes to handle a popular exclusive like Devil May Cry4 from a developers point of view. Though saying that, lets hope that other Sony exclusives don’t go this way. :P Hopefully this choice by capcom means that Devil May Cry 4 might come out a little sooner than we thought.
New Lair Gameplay screenshot
PS3Lair.nl have come across a new Lair screenshot which claims to be in-game. It’s apparently from GDC according to one of the commenters, which means I must have missed any news on Lair there because I didn’t even know it went. XD
