To quote: As you all know we have been busy at Seed Studios preparing for the release of Under Siege.

It is our first PS3 game and we are very happy with what we have achieved so far.

For that we have launched an official Web site and forum, started a Facebook page and posted here on the PlayStation.Blog. Feedback has been great and we cannot wait for the day when the game is on sale.

But getting an RTS feature-packed game on PSN was not our only goal, we also wanted the bring out the big guns and give our fans something extra. So I am proud to present the Under Siege intro.





It was made by the nice folks at Axis Animation (who you may remember as the creator of the Killzone 2 intro) and it gives you an introduction to the world of Under Siege....

Press Release: Flipnote Studio for Nintendo DSi Gives Players the Tools to Become Animators

Free Downloadable Application Lets Users Share Creations

NOTE: Multimedia available below

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- At one time or another, just about everyone has created an animated cartoon using nothing more than a pad of paper and some hand-drawn stick figures.

Here's how it works: Users draw an image on the touch screen of the Nintendo DSi system. When they are ready to draw the next image in the sequence, Flipnote Studio shows an outline of the previous image as a reference. Once all the images are in place, the software can animate them as a creation called a Flipnote.

People can add sound to their Flipnotes using the built-in microphone or using sounds they previously recorded...
