Difference in Opinion

Well just as I feared… Playstation HOME has been delayed yet again, hopefully for a good reason! The public Beta of PS Home was supposed to start beginning of the quarter, 2008. Then it was delayed till this Spring. Now Sony announced yet another delay for Fall this year.

“We understand that we are asking PS3 and prospective PS3 users to wait a bit longer, but we have come to the conclusion that we need more time to refine the service to ensure a more focused gaming entertainment experience than what it is today,” - Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.

Now that it’s been bumped for another few months, Sony has announced that they will be inviting more people in this closed beta. Well…here’s to hoping!

Is your Spider Sense tingling? Well after today it should be, Spider-man is coming back. Activision announced today that a new Spider-man game is in production. The web swinging hero’s new game, “Spider-man: Web of Shadows” is being considered a release for the 3rd quarter of 2008 to the Playstation 3, Playstation 2, Playstation Portable, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Wii and PC.

Activision won’t give many details on the game since it is still in production, but they did give us something to report to you. Web of Shadows will be a open-world, free-roaming game set in New York City. There were a few new features that they did mention like customizable superpowers. There will be the same old hand to hand fighting on the ground, but they also want to give the player a chance to fight vertically that will let you fight as Spidey in the sky. Everyone knows and loves the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man”, but did you ever want a chance to make him into the neighbor everyone hates? Well in Web of Shadows, Activision promises that you can do just that. There will be cameo appearances with many Marvel superheros and villains which the player will be able to decide how to interact with them.
