Sony @ E3 11: Medieval Moves coming Fall 2011 from the creators of Sports Champions

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Sony wasted no time unveiling new PlayStation Move titles, as NBA 2K12 would be getting PlayStation Move support. But a new title built from the ground up with the motion controller will also be coming: Medieval Moves: Dead Man’s Quest. From the creators of Sports Champions, it admittedly looks like the gladiator and archery segments of that game built into a larger action game. However, throughout the large setting with multiple branching paths, players will need to overcome traps and platforming segments in order to progress.

Medieval Moves will arrive on PlayStation 3 in Fall 2011.

Sony @ E3 11: Kobe Bryant comes out to demo NBA 2K12

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Kobe Bryant came out on stage to demonstrate 2K’s NBA 2K12, which has a new Move feature. Using the PlayStation’s motion controller, you can simply point at the player you want to pass to and pull the trigger. Once you’re ready to take it to the hoop, your player will use the best move in his arsenal to try to score.

Bryant cracked some jokes about how the triangle defense on the Lakers in the game was better than in real life, which elicited some chuckles from the crowd. Be on the lookout for this game in the Fall, especially those of you with the Move.

Sony @ E3 11: God of War Origins Collection, Ico & Shadow coming September in 3D

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

We already heard about Monster Hunter and Peace Walker coming to PlayStation 3 in high definition. Now, SCEA President & CEO Jack Tretton has confirmed the release date for two other highly anticipated PSP Collections. Both God of War: Origins Collection (compiling the formerly PSP-exclusive Chains of Olympus and Ghost of Sparta) as well as the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection will release in September for PS3.

Many were worried once Ico & Shadow was delayed with an unspecified new release date, but it doesn’t seem like we’ll have to wait long.

Sony @ E3 11: Sony announces affordable 3D display and glasses for gamers

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Nicole Kline

Tretton announced that Sony has created a 24 inch 3D monitor, bundled with a pair of 3D glasses, a 6 foot HDMI cable, and Resistance 3 for $499. This will bring the immersive 3D experience to gamers who can’t afford the steep price tag on 3D TVs and glasses.

But $499 is still a hell of a lot of money.

EA @ E3 11: Battlefield 3 to get tracking/social service, multiplatform open beta incoming

Posted on June 6, 2011 by Mike Gutierrez

Battlefield 3 is the arguable centerpiece of EA’s E3 press conference, and it’s certainly getting the star treatment. DICE has revealed that a service similar to Call of Duty: Elite will be launching for the game, where players can track their statistics and organize into squads, even launching the game from the service. We’ll also be able to taste the game’s sweet multiplayer soon, as an open beta will begin soon and continue on until September.

Battlefield 3 will be released for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 25.
