During Square Enix’s Conference all things Final Fantasy XIII, a few good news came out of it. One of these is a confirmed bundle for the Japan audience for a PS3 Slim and a copy of Final Fantasy XIII, with more details to come at Tokyo Game Show.

Square Enix is still aiming for a Spring Target release for the western market, meaning North America and Europe, possibly simultaneous. With more news on this possibly coming in Tokyo Game Show.

Last but not least the Japanese release date we reported earlier has been confirmed, available for sale on Dec. 17th.

Square has also shown a new trailer, but not available for public viewing, so we’ll have to wait.

Now that the Tokyo Game Show is over, what were the Playstation 3 games? There were supposed to be some unannounced games, in fact there were, Demon Souls being one of them. Anyway, here’s the list.

• White Knight Chronicles (PS3)
• Gran Turismo 5: Prologue Spec III (PS3)
• Killzone 2 (PS3)
• Demon’s Souls (PS3)
• Yakuza 3 (PS3)
• Winning Eleven 2009 (PS3)
• Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires (PS3)
• Metal Gear Online (PS3)
• Quantum Theory (PS3)
• Flower (PS3)
• Spelunker (PS3)

With some information related to the Playstation Home beta for Japan, there was some interesting info in SCEJ’s press release.

You already know from us that the Japanese version of Home recently got 24 third party developers and publisher on board to make there own area’s and/or more.

Well it seems that there will be a large-scale closed beta test between late October and early November. This is to prepare for the Open Beta Service which release date will be announced on the official Home website.

The most important bit is that you’ll be able to obtain special items usable within Playstation Home depending on the level of your gameplay.
So does this mean that when you have played a game a lot and gathered enough trophies you will for example be able to walk around in a generals outfit (Warhawk related) or have a golden golfstick in your hands (Hot Shot Golf 5 related). We don’t know but it is getting more and more interesting in what Sony has planned for Home.

Despite the game being originally developed by SCEE it seem SCEJ has taken the foreground to announce most information and many of the features we can expect.

There was no word on Europe and North America getting a similar ’stress test’.

At the Tokyo Game Show, Media Molecule announced that Solid Snake and Sephiroth will be available in LittleBigPlanet. 

 

It all started with the Helghast thing. It was really funny because we were aware of a lot of possibilities of who we could work with. I remember the first time that Final Fantasy was mentioned, and there was a bet over whether it would be happened since it’s such a precious franchise.

And with Metal Gear, I bought my PS1 for Metal Gear Solid, and I didn’t have a memory card – so I left the game on when I went to work and came home and played some more.

To be involved with MGS is… slightly bizarre. When we were looking at what options as a studio we’d have to work with, they were under the “yeah, right!” category of games.

LittleBigPlanet and Sackboy have a strong identity and flavor. So then you try to find the translation to Metal Gear and Sephiroth, and the guys that made the characters really brought the flavors of LittleBigPlanet and Metal Gear together and kept the flavor of both of them

[On Final Fantasy collaboration:] It’s a whole universe, and they’ve built up this ethos. And we’re honored to be let into that universe.

Demon Souls is an action RPG that is exlusive to the Playstation 3. There hasn’t been much coverage for this game, just a bunch of screenshots. Now, a pair of videos have been released that was shown at Tokyo Game Show 2008.

How awesome does this game look? After watching the TGS 2008 trailer i’m left with my jaw dropped.

Gameplay footage of Level-5’s Sony PS3 RPG. White Knight Chronicles (AKA White Knight Story) is developed by Level-5 and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3.

Quantam Theory has just been announced for the PlayStation 3, and is an exclusive for the game. It’s going to be a shooter, which is supposedly to be the answer against Microsofts Gears of War. The game is being developed by Tecmo. I leave you guys a trailer of the game below.

On Amazon you can pre-order the Limited Edition Entertainment Pack with the new PSP-3000 and a 4 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo.

What is most interesting with this pack is the display of the PSN logo which has never been seen on previous boxarts with a PSP. Also The screen on the PSP shows the Playstation store like you would see it on your Playstation 3.
Also included is a Everyday Shooter PLAYSTATION®Network Voucher. Everyday Shooter is an album of games exploring the expressive power of abstract shooters. Dissolute sounds of destruction are replaced with guitar riffs harmoniz-ing over an all-guitar soundtrack, while modulating shapes celebrate the flowing beauty of geometry.

By having the ability to download straight to your PSP you’ll eliminate the ‘forced’ use of a PC or PS3 to get stuff from the store on your PSP. We hope to hear more and a final date for the implementation of this feature at the Tokyo Game Show or maybe even sooner.

Sony’s David Reeves has promised that they have a whopping 12 announcements to make at Leipzig, far more than E3.

It looks like Sony were waiting to see what happened at E3 before they unleash their big guns and by the sounds of things they will unleash everything they have next month in Leipzig and then at the Tokyo Game Show later on in the year.
