55w ago - Sony Producer Kyle Zundel of San Diego Studios has made available a glimpse of LittleBigPlanet Karting for PS3 multiplayer fans, which will be featured at E3 2012 next week.

To quote: With E3 less than a week away, I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a quick update on what you'll be seeing at the show in Los Angeles.

We'll be unveiling our multiplayer mode, which supports one to four players offline and one to eight players online, and I'm sure you'll be reading plenty of hands-on reports from the press during E3 week. I can tell you that it's addictively fun - you won't want to put the controller down!

We'll also be showing off more of the single-player campaign that users will be able to explore, as well as some of the additional non-racing experiences that are unique to LBP Karting, so get ready!

Secondly, I wanted to quickly thank our friends in the press who have spoken highly of Sackboy's newest karting adventure. As IGN put it..."LittleBigPlanet Karting is already an incredibly promising step up and a great new direction for the LittleBigPlanet franchise."

Lastly, I wanted to pass along a quick reminder about our pre-order bonus offer.

Those who pre-order the game through Amazon...

58w ago - Bioware Community Manager Eduardo Vasconcellos has just announced that free Goliath and Raptor packs are incoming for Mass Effect 3 PS3 Multiplayer fans alongside an Operation Silencer bounty weekend.

To quote: PRIORITY TRANSMISSION FROM ADMIRAL HACKETT

Attention N7 forces on PS3: We have great news. After working closely with PlayStation we are now able to offer you the multiplayer Commendation Packs for Operation Goliath and Operation Raptor, which were held previously this year.

As of now, PS3 users can log in and check out the in-game store for their Goliath and Raptor packs, free of charge.

Rally your squad, prepare your arsenal, and get ready to give the Reapers hell.

Cerberus defectors have verified key intel on Reaper Banshees to help provide us a vulnerability to exploit. Banshees are created from a specific kind of asari that cannot be replaced quickly, so we are diverting forces to focus on an all-out Banshee extermination effort.

This task is an onerous one, and many of you are right to dread contact with these particular foes, but rest assured that we are prepared to reinforce your battalion with reserves. The vorcha want in, and as soon as they complete combined-arms training with our technically-skilled personnel, we will let them...

58w ago - Sony Senior Social Media Specialist Sid Shuman has shared answers today to some common PS3 multiplayer questions in the upcoming title Aliens: Colonial Marines for the PlayStation 3 entertainment system below.

To quote: If you're like me, you've been watching the recent Prometheus trailers (spoilers!) over and over, pausing only to wipe the frothy spittle off your chin.

If you're really like me, you've also been wondering, "what's it gonna take for some talented studio to create a killer game based on the Alien films?"

Luckily, Gearbox Software is building an increasingly compelling case with Aliens: Colonial Marines, an upcoming big-budget PS3 shooter that aims to pick up where James Cameron's seminal 1986 film Aliens left off.

While we know a good bit about the game's tense single-player campaign, details about its multiplayer component have remained frustratingly elusive. So we took to Twitter and posed @PlayStation followers a simple question -- what do you want to know about the multiplayer mode in Aliens: Colonial Marines?

We received a flood of questions - some insightful, some maniacally detail-oriented - and presented them to Gearbox...

59w ago - Game Director Todd Papy has announced PS3 multiplayer mode for God of War: Ascension live from Santa Monica Studio today!

I will be talking with Mr. PlayStation Blog himself, Jeff Rubenstein, about God of War: Ascension and my past experience with the franchise.

But wait, there's more! During our live broadcast, I'll be sharing the scoop with Jeff, and of course all of you, about our brutal new multiplayer mode.

Yes, that's right. God of War: Ascension will feature a ground-breaking new online multiplayer mode....

61w ago - Sony Senior Social Media Specialist Sid Shuman has made available some new video footage today spotlighting multiplayer action in Resistance: Burning Skies for the PS Vita console.

To quote: If you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, come by our community meetup tonight to go hands-on with Resistance: Burning Skies in a kill-or-be-killed multiplayer tournament!

If it's true that a shooter is only as good as its weapons, Resistance: Burning Skies is shaping up to be a delight indeed.

Take the Mule, a new double-barreled shotgun that dishes out devastating buckshot blasts and launches explosive bolts via its over-barrel crossbow. Or the ever-popular Auger, whose projectiles hungrily chew through walls to seek out warm flesh.

But my favorite gun so far is the lethal Hunter rifle, a long-range Chimeran burst-fire weapon with the ability to deploy an attack drone that you can guide towards your multiplayer foes with taps on the front touchscreen - tres sophisticated!





Playing a series of Wifi multiplayer matches in Resistance: Burning Skies in New York City last week was a valuable reminder that shooting ultra-powerful weapons just feels...
