PLAYSTATION 3 In-Game XMB Are Fake, Says Sony

The recently "leaked" in-game XMB images for the PLAYSTATION 3 appear to be fake, according to Sony Computer Entertainment.

Yeup. It was just some jerk trying to mess with our heads because he, along with everyone else, knows that all we want is our in-game XMB.

"The XMB images are fake," Sony told CVG, adding: "There are no firmware updates planned for January."

I guess for now, we just need to cross our fingers and keep hoping it will still arrive soon.

2K Boston Refuses to Announce PLAYSTATION 3 Game, Rule out Bioshock

2K Boston seems to not want to rule out the possibility of it's Xbox 360 exclusive title, Bioshock, coming to the PLAYSTATION 3.

Earlier this week, we found out that 2K Boston was look for programmers with Unreal Engine 3 and PLAYSTATION 3 experience on it's official site.

Of course, we are all going to point to Bioshock considering it's developed on the Unreal Engine 3. But then again many games are developed on this engine.

A spokesperson for 2K Boston stepped in and said The spokesperson added: "As usual in these matters we don't comment on Internet rumour and speculation."

They just don't seem to want to rule out the possibility of the game on the PLAYSTATION 3. Perhaps it is coming.

More Resistance 2 Details Emerge

Three Speech, Sony's semi-official blog site, revealed some new details about the newly unveiled Resistance 2.

The game's fighting action will take place in the United States, with the beginning and end levels being the only ones in different countries.

Those gigantic 60-player online battles will be squad-based, and have you choose your role from one of three classes: a hardy soldier with heavy weaponry, a special ops type for ranged attacks like sniping and a medic.

Resistance 2 will matchmake you with others of your skill too, meaning you won't get killed as fast as you do in the first game.

New enemies will also be featured such as the Chameleon and Stalker baddies with a cloaking ability.

Insomniac has also taken feedback from the first game to improve long checkpoints and the health system, as well as using more of the PLAYSTATION 3's power to get in a greater number of enemies on screen and boost their intelligence to Key Stage 2.

The biggest new additions are a separate eight-player co-operative campaign (or two-player in local mode), and the enormous online battles.
