Sony talks portable LittleBigPlanet, Guitar Hero/Rock BandPosted 10:20am Wed Nov 19, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: PSP, Sony, LittleBigPlanet, Guitar Hero, Rock Band

Rumors that LittleBigPlanet is getting a PSP iteration have been around since April and were recently strengthened by a rumor found within the pages of the latest Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), so MTV's Multiplayer Blog asked Sony's John Koller about the rumors during a phone interview yesterday.

Koller's comments from the story:

"'LittleBigPlanet’ is so expansionary. I think the developer’s really concentrating on right now making sure that the launched product is everything it could be and can be. We’re watching the UGC [user generated content] and seeing how that’s playing out. But for the future, I think certainly, we’d look at a wide variety of opportunities. Whether that’s the PSP or not, I can’t really say. We certainly look at ‘LittleBigPlanet’ franchise as a going forward franchise for us, and that speaks to the PlayStation brand overall.”

Multiplayer also asked Koller about the possibility of Rock Band or Guitar Hero hitting the PSP, as well:

DLC For Wii Version Of Rock Band 2 ConfirmedPosted 5:48pm Mon Sep 29, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Rock Band 2, Wii, DLC

Good news for you Wii owners who missed out on DLC for the original Rock Band: Kotaku is reporting that a USA Today story has confirmed that the Wii version of Rock Band 2 will receive the same DLC support as the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.

"While unannounced, MTV Games has confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Wii version of ``Rock Band 2'' will offer the same online functionality — i.e. song downloads and Internet multiplayer modes — as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 versions. The PS2 version, however, will not include online connectivity," says the article.

While this is certainly a good thing for Wii owners, it is still uncertain about whether or not the full array of DLC for the original Rock Band will ever be made available on Wii, though a select number of DLC songs were packaged and released through retail back in July. Keep your fingers crossed.

After promising  the release of the Rush album Moving Pictures for this week's Rock Band DLC, Harmonix has announced that they have run into some "unforeseen technical difficulties" that have sidelined the release for at least a couple more weeks.

However, they promised that there will still be DLC for this week and that "exciting news" is on the way from this weekend's PAX event, presumably related to Rock Band 2. We'll let you know what happens.

Left 4 Dead Headed To PS3?Posted 8:11pm Sun Aug 03, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Left 4 Dead, Valve, Turtle Rock Studios, EA, Playstation 3

If you're bummed that Left 4 Dead hasn't been announced for the PS3, here's an interesting bit for you: Joystiq is reporting that the Official Playstation Magazine's latest issue claims that the game is hitting the PS3 but will be developed by EA instead of Turtle Rock Studios. However, the mag doesn't disclose its source for the information, so you might not want to get too excited until an official confirmation is made.

If true, EA will be under pressure to deliver a strong port, as their PS3 port of the Orange Box angered many PS3 owners because of its numerous bugs, framerate issues, and other technical mishaps. Let's hope that this one turns out better.

After enduring numerous delays, Left 4 Dead, the survival-horror FPS from Valve's Turtle Rock Studios, is finally coming on November 4, according to Big Download.

The game also features an A.I. "director" that changes the spawn points for enemy zombies with each play-through and controls the flow of the action.

You'll be able to pick it up on the Xbox 360 and PC.
