211w ago - Last night, Resident evil fans got a glimmer of hope that a remake or re-release of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis was heading to Wii.

According to Capcom's Press Site, Resident Evil 3 was listed as coming to Wii along side the confirmed title 'The Darkside Chronicles'.

However, those with access to the Capcom press site will be able to tell you this listing includes artwork from the original Resident Evil remake coming to Wii.

Christian Svensson from Capcom has also denined the rumors of a re-release of Resident Evil 3: "It's either a shop or a typo. False rumor."

So there you have it. No Resident Evil 3 remake on the Wii. Let's just keep dreaming...

212w ago - Today 1UP (linked above) has published a report on the new PSP, indicating that the new, UMD-less hardware will ship this Fall in Japan and North America, with Sony bringing 100 PSP titles to the PlayStation Store.

Below is also also has an artists' rendition of what the new PSP Go! may look like.

To quote: Sources confirm the next PSP will gain an internal flash drive, ditch UMD, and nix the rumored second analog nub.

Rumors of a major PSP hardware redesign have repeatedly bubbled to the surface over the last several months - some claiming the removal of the system's UMD disc drive, and others pointing to a second analog stick and sliding screen.

According to sources directly involved with the new system, we have learned that Sony will quell those rumors by unveiling their revamped PSP at this year's E3 conference in June.

Many have speculated that the update would be called either the PSP 2 or PSP-4000, but our sources claim Sony will forgo a numerical moniker in favor of a subtitle.

We've heard various rumored code names for the project (including PSP Slide, PSP Flip, and PSP Go!), but given that Sony has introduced the Go! brand of add-ons...

213w ago - A Japanese blog has done a technical analysis of both Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, and the Final Fantasy XIII Trial Edition.

To quote: The Blu-Ray movie comes in at about 30GB due to a video bitrate of 27.8Mbps, and audio bitrate of about 1.9Mbps.

The demo however comes in at a huge 5.09GB (including 256MB of PS3 Update Data), which is very worrying, especially for Xbox 360 owners as the demo only has about an hour of gameplay.

Further analysis of the files in the demo show that there are two big movie files, one of which is 2.04GB (z016_ps3.wmp), and the second is 2.37GB (z000_ps3.wmp). This means that 4.41GB of the demo is just video.

Final Fantasy games are known for having a lot very high quality CG rendered movies, this means that the Xbox 360 version of the game will have to have lower quality video. Or another option is to take the route of Lost Odyssey, which had only one or two rendered movies, and the rest were in-engine. Despite this, Lost Odyssey still ended up using about 27GB of data due to repetition of textures, character models, and environment models.

So does this mean that the Xbox 360 will be getting...

214w ago - The Web site that originally reported on the upcoming Killzone 2 map pack being a free download, has corrected its story.

The news item now says Sony Computer Entertainment contacted Tweakers.net, stating the DLC will in fact NOT be free, but will cost a still unknown amount of money.

This one IS confirmed by Sony, so alas, no free DLC for Killzone 2.

To quote, roughly translated: Update, April 14 10:32: Sony Computer Entertainment has Tweakers.net indicated that the extension will not be free to download, but an unknown amount will cost.

Indicates that the DLC would be free, as mentioned earlier was not from Sony and is not correct.
