UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition


Fresh out of the Spike Sneak Peeks PAX panel comes a very special announcement from Naughty Dog’s Creative Director Amy Hennig — the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition!
Included in this special package is the game, exact in-game replica of the Phurba Dagger Artifact and stand, Collectible Art Book and Collector case autographed by Naughty Dog, plus a host of downloads.




And part of what makes the Fortune Hunter Edition a real fan collectible is that you can’t buy it — you can only win it! There will be several ways to win including right here on the Blog. Stay tuned as we’ll have more details on that in the very near future!

PES 2010 Off!!

This news from Pesgaming. He answers the questions about PES2010 after His playtest.
Below Here.

I was pleased to hear that my playtest was generally well received.  I’d like to apologise to everyone who was looking for Editing information.  An oversight on my part, but purely unintentional.  I was concentrating on core gameplay, but hopefully I will get the opportunity to redeem myself, or to just get some general info from Konami on Editing functionality - whichever is easier.
So overall I think we’re going to be quite pleased with PES2010 on release.  The only real question mark against the game at the moment is the online play.  Konami are very aware of the importance that the online system should be perfect for everyone, so I don’t believe they will overlook it.  I’m hoping we have some positive news to report about the online game shortly, but until then, we’re all in the dark.
I’ve already mentioned that I expect to hopefully get one more playtest in before the final version is released, but in case I don’t, I shall try to get answers to questions that have remained unanswered.
Which leads me nicle to the main section of the week’s column - your questions left as comments to my playtest.
Here are some more answers to questions which were asked:
Any different menu music?
different yes, but usual generic kind of stuff - nothing amazing or famous
Base copy?
Sorry - don’t know - will make a note to check next time!
Free kicks
yes i believe they’ve been improved.  shooting generally is a lot tighter, so free kicks are too.
Camera angles
usual camera angles - no additions there - sorry - very unlikely to be added at this stage.
Fighting for long ball
Sorry I don’t remember properly - I was trying to tussle for balls wherever possible, but don’t recall how it worked.  It certainly wasn’t poor - i’d have noted that.
Player stats
Sorry - I didn’t really bother to take note of them - you could ask T.J who leaves comments regularly - he’s a bit of a stats freak!  T.J - please don’t post any more stats in the comments section!
Applying for manager jobs
Sorry - I didn’t delve into Master League enough to know that.
I don’t think it’s there as an option, so don’t get your hopes up for that.
You’re better off imagining it, and starting with a new team yourself!  B-)
Team Stats
I didn’t check individual team stats, so don’t know if Arsenal or any other team are underrated
Ref Decisions
Refs decisions vary during play.  Some fouls are immediately called, otherwise play does continue.
Directing through balls on left or right foot
Didn’t try it, but i should imagine it is possible depending on which side the ball is when
the pass is attempted - but i’m guessing really.
Throw ins
I fully expect the barriers to be gone in the final version, and players having to tussle for the ball.
Crowds
They looked better from a distance, but didn’t notice them going crazy when goals are scored.
You don’t really see the crowds all that much during play generally.
Face cam
Again not sure how good it will be this year.  I can keen to try it properly myself, and will report back
on it if i get the chance to try it before the final build.
Stunned players during free kicks
Yes players don’t stand around wondering if they left the gas running at home, and are responsive
all the time!
Team generation from 4 teams
Sorry not sure if that is in there - I agree it was a great feature, so finger’s crossed it is in!
Forechecking pressure to tackle opponent’s defenders
I know exactly what you mean, but unfortunately I didn’t try it.
I am very confident that this will not be an issue though.
Online system
Will be built on technology primarily based on PES6, so fingers crossed it is perfect!
Changing the pace of the game
Sorry there isn’t an option to slow/speed up the game.
But the use of your own sliders will help there, if you have players making overlapping runs, as opposed to rigid structures that are fairly static.
Kicking of the ball sound
Sorry I didn’t pay enough attention to it.  I hope you aren’t dissappointed with the ball kicking sound!
Camera angles
You can’t change them from 1 to 9 as far as i could see.
I didn’t try various weather conditions but generally they don’t tend to make much difference to play.
That’s your lot for now folks.  One final note I’d like to add is about the flak Francis has had over his playtest period.  I’d like to remind you guys that we are all working on this site in an unpaid capacity.
Francis was a late replacement for Dan on the playtest, and kindly stepped in to accompany me.
I resent the fact that he was getting grief for only attending the playtest for an hour.  We’re a team, and between us we covered the event, and that’s all there is to it.  We don’t deserve any grief for the work we do on this site, and I hope we don’t get a repeat of anything like that towards any of us.
I will say this once more too - if people are leaving offensive comments, then their comments will be removed, even if they contain a valid point.
Thanks for reading

Sack it to Me – The “I Can’t Wait Until GOTY + DEMO Next Week” Edition

 

DEMO and GOTY in-stores next week
Sept 10 – For those of you who haven’t “jumped in the sack” with LBP yet, head over to the PS Storeon Sept 10, and you’ll be able to download a free playable demo of LittleBigPlanet.
The demo is filled with – PLAY: a hand full of in-game levels and mini-games by yourself or with 3 of your friends, CREATE: Customize your Sackboy and plaster levels with a variety of stickers and objects, SHARE: a few community levels picked from the over 125MM levels created online.
Hopefully, you’ll get hooked just in time for the release of the Game of the Year Edition (coincidentally next week as well :) ). If your just getting your hands on a new PlayStation 3, check out the Examiner.com’s “Top five games to purchase along with your new PS3” – which just happens to have LBP #1…and conveniently just arrived in our offices!


GOTY Q&A
A few weeks ago, when we announced the Game of the Year edition, we saw a ton of questions, and wanted to address what we could, so we decided to create a quick FAQ:


“Will my old game save work with the Game of the Year edition?” – Yes, so long as you have the latest LBP online update.
“Are there new trophies” – Sorry, there are no new trophies in the GOTY edition.
“Will existing owners get a chance to play the bonus levels?” – Nothing has been planned yet, but stay tuned over the next few weeks as we’ll be highlighting our ’super users’ so you’ll be able to search and play their other masterpieces online.
“Is there any other way to get the Modnation beta?” – Currently, this is the only way to guarantee entry. As we get closer to the ModNation Racers Beta, we’ll update if this changes.
“How will the bonus levels be shown in game?” – I took a few shots for you to see.

First, you’d see the “Bonus” call-out beside “Story”.

Then you’d see the Planet filled with all your free DLC and Level packs.

Finally, after selecting the Community Level pack, you’ll see all 18 community levels to select. :)

PSP ROUND UP
Ever since Gamescom, lots more details have been revealed for the PSP version (available 11/17). Check out the below news and catch up on the latest and greatest:
COMMUNITY PICKS (from LittleBigLand.com)
Paying the Bill! by Mnniska



Bludhound’s Comments (PSN: marquise126ace) :
This is an absolutly great platforming level. The author of this level has put the John Burgerman stickers to great use, making the scenery a real treat for your eyes. You will also find some very unique obstacles and a
unique x2 section in this level. Overall it’s a very fun level that you will want to play again and again.
amazingflyingpoo’s Comments:
Mnniska has managed to create a wonderful “feel-good” platformer. Instead of sticking to just tried-and-true platforming mechanics, he creates some original scenarios which helps to make a great experience into an outstanding one. On top of that, the story is so wacky that you just have to love it!
The Ultimate Puzzle Challenge by Werehare




Bludhound’s Comments (PSN: marquise126ace) :
Want to test your self with some mind boggling puzzles? Then this level is for you. The author of this level has done amazing work in coming up with puzzles that you don’t see too often in lbp. the design and scenery is absolutely beautiful, if you appreciate great design (that looks like it took hours just to think of) and puzzles that will test your mind then give this level a try.
amazingflyingpoo’s Comments:
This level has impressed me more than just about any other level I have ever played. Most authors struggle to come up with one good originalpuzzle, but somehow werehare has come up with a level composed of a large number of incredible puzzles.
WORKSHOP of the WEEK


Over on LittleBigWorkshop.com, dextroyer4u has created a new tutorial for those of you inspiring to make an “Earthquake” level. Good stuff, keep them coming.
STICKER PACK = VERA BEE



Check out the latest downloadable Sticker Pack on the PlayStation Network. We love how Vera’s stickers look in LBP and hope to see lots of levels influenced by her style. Mm.com has a great interview with Vera along with a full site takeover.
LBP DYNAMIC THEME


As announced with the 3.0 PS3 Firmware announcement (thanks Eric), the LittleBigPlanet Dynamic Theme hit the store earlier this week for $2.99. Check out SirHypnotoad youtube clip for a sneak peek of the Sackboy Dynamic Theme in motion.



LittleBigPlanet @PAX
Yes, LittleBigPlanet will be at PAX. Drop by the PlayStation booth and check out LittleBigPlanet on both PlayStation 3 and PSP – and if you have something Sack-specific, we may just hook you up with a little sumptin-sumptin…
