55w ago - Milestone Game Director Michele Caletti has announced that the MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship demo launches on PSN today!

To quote: We're extremely happy to announce that the MUD - FIM Motocross World Championship demo is available from PlayStation Store today.

The demo packs up some of the best stuff you'll find in the game: a Quick Race on the Glen Helen track (USA), choosing the world MX1 champion Tony Cairoli or Steven Frossard. This one is among the most demanding venues, with extreme slopes, very technical jumps and breathtaking sights.

To give you a glimpse of the Mud World Tour, we've also added a Checkpoint Race challenge on the same USA track, you'll discover how different goals change the way to approach it.





MUD is a game that packs up some amazing features, never seen on PS3: it includes the official license for the Motocross World Championship, including the MX1 and MX2 classes, and 12 tracks around the world.

It also features the Monster Energy Motocross of Nations that gathers the best offroad riders from both sides of the Atlantic: Villopoto, Baggett, Dungey will battle for victory with the European champions like Cairoli and Roczen.

60w ago - Sony Senior Social Media Specialist Sid Shuman has shared a behind the scenes video today spotlighting the making of Kara: behind the scenes of Quantic Dream's PS3 tech demo below.

To quote: The creators of Heavy Rain didn't come empty handed to this year's Game Developers Conference. The celebrated studio debuted a powerful new "video" called Kara to show off their new animation and performance-capture technology.

If you've seen Kara, then you know that the results speak for themselves.

Rendered in real time on PS3 hardware, Kara chronicled the activation of a self-aware synthetic organism, but this making-of feature is impressive in its own right as it shows how Quantic Dream assembled several different performances to create a seamless, believable virtual character. The future is now, you guys.





Once you've watched the video feature, let us know what you think in the comments! And as a reminder: Kara is absolutely, positively not Quantic Dream's next game.
