Due to other commitments they do not have the time required to dedicate to the site but we thank them for all their hard work over the past year and hope to see more of them as senior rankings players in the near future.

I'm pleased to say that we have also made Marko9gardinic and leeomac senior admins.:)

PS3 Fat Princess Gets Bigger

September 6, 2009 - At PAX, Sony is showing off a brand-new map for its popular downloadable action-strategy game, Fat Princess. Titled New Pork and designed as a medieval metropolis, the new map joins the pack of existing real estate as one of the larger ones. The main thrust of the map is to provide a huge open arena for conflict. There are choke points and close quarters areas for personal engagement between the teams, but most players will get serious mileage out of the teleporters that warp you all over the map.

New Pork slows progress by stacking huge piles of trash that must be smashed through in order to open up the map. There are also a multitude of doors in the map that you can repair just like the castle doors. With these placed deeper in the map, you can actually manage your enemy's advancement. Of course, that means you need to cooperate with your own team in order keep those doors in tip-top shape.

There is no release date on the calendar yet for New Pork, nor the additional fixes and features, such as refreshed matchmaking formula, new leaderboards, and a new class of characters for the game that look like little cooks. Cooks could certainly be interesting additions to the game as both warriors that shatter skulls with rolling pins or serve up extra food for the princesses.

FIFA 10 ON THE IPHONE


We received some early screenshots from EA's upcoming FIFA 10 soccer game for the iPhone. FIFA was announced by EA along with a laundry list of other titles back in March, but we've heard few details since.
The screenshots reveal an analog stick on the left side for player control and A/B buttons on the right side for actions. PocketGamer had some hands on time with an early version of the game and revealed that additional combos by touching and sliding from one button to another, and that specific players can be selected by simply tapping on them.
Meanwhile, TouchArcade's Eli is meeting with EA today and we will reveal more as we are able.

Gamescom and Beyond...


It's been a few weeks since the last post, but Jon Murphy has updated the Konami Blog.

It's a reflection on the recent Gamescom event and he touches on how fan feedback has changed the game for the better.

“Me again.

A couple of big things to report. First off we've now announced all the fan improvements. I've been dying to tell everyone about all the improvements so it's a relief everything is out in the open!

I've been checking feedback through forums and I think for the first time in a couple of years we've gone beyond expectations. Once again, thanks to everyone who gave the team feedback which influenced development. Long may this process continue.

Code shown at Gamescom seemed to go down well with those who got a game or two. I've seen some discussions since (and a few videos) and certain points have caused concern, particularly keepers. As Seabass said the code was a month old and improvements are still being made. I have to say that from my experience of recent code keepers are much, much more competent. Cheap rebound goals are gone and most handle the ball well. Occasional mistakes are still made, but that's as it should
be - it happens in real life.

For me the other big news is we've finished player photo and video shoots. It's great to see the finish line!

Not long to go now until we release a demo for everyone to test. You'll get a chance to see the new PES for yourselves and make up your minds about how we've reflected what the what fans want.

Cheers,
Jon
