92w ago - SCEE's James Gallagher has shared a video interview today discussing how the upcoming WipEout 2048 game brings fans the birth of anti-gravity racing to PS Vita.

To quote: The WipEout series is synonymous with PlayStation hardware launches and so there's a warm feeling of familiarity to knowing that WipEout 2048 is coming to PlayStation Vita during the launch window.

The game focuses on the birth of Anti-grav racing and the Liverpool Studio team is keen to focus on how the architecture of the futuristic city shapes both look and gameplay. I caught up with Graeme Ankers and Stuart Tilley out in the sunshine between presentations.

It's fantastic to see a new WipEout game on its way, particularly one that is looking to take the series in a new direction. We already know that it will support cross platform play allowing Vita and PS3 players to go head-to-head online and I've just learned that the soundtrack - a vital ingredient in the WipEout DNA - features new remixes of Underworld and Leftfield tracks from the original game, as well as a new track from Deadmau5. Can't wait!

166w ago - Square Enix's European Brand Manager Antonio Marfuggi has announced today that Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep is coming to PSP in Europe this summer.

To quote: I have some great news for you: KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep is coming to Europe (as well as all other PAL territories) this summer, exclusively for your beloved handheld system.

The game, released in Japan just a few months ago, is the latest installment in the KINGDOM HEARTS action-RPG series, and explores the origins of the saga.

The events of this new chapter take place before those of all other games in the series, and are centred around the three aspiring Keyblade Masters Terra, Ventus and Aqua. The three heroes will attempt to unravel the mystery of the missing Master Xehanort, fighting their way from world to world with their own unique combat abilities.

New characters, maps and environments are introduced, including the worlds of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. And if this were not enough, the game also sports four multiplayer modes, offering endless battles to up to six players, wirelessly connected.

We're still in the process of building the game's official site, but you can have a glimpse of KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep's stunning looks from these screenshots.

186w ago - The release date for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for Sony's PSP console has been something of an oddity, at least up until recently.

Square Enix finally gave fans some clue, as they announced it would be coming in "January".

However, it looks like they've finally given in and announced a more definitive date, as Japanese site FF Reunion claims to have the official release date for the game.

The release date? January 9th, 2010. This is only the Japanese release date though, so there's still no word about the North American or European releases.

259w ago - This is a leaked trailer of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, emailed to KHInsider by Johnhay Ancheta showcasing two full minutes of footage. You'll have to excuse the quality, as the clip was recorded on a cellphone, but despite this, the game looks fantastic. Look forward to a more detailed in depth look soon!

As with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, it's clear that we can expect visuals that rival even some of the more impressive PS2 titles.

A release date for Birth By Sleep has yet to be announced.
