LittleBigPlanet Demo Not Coming 2007

MTV's Stephen Totilo contacted Sony for answers on the expected LittleBigPlanet demo we were supposed to receive before this year ends.

Unofrunately, bad news.

A spokesperson for SCEA told the vaguely menacing Totilo, "I can officially confirm that there won't be a demo this year."

Not much of a surprise, considering the delay of PLAYSTATION Home, HAZE, Half-Life 2: The Orange Box. It was expected.

Motorstorm Patch Version 3.1 Is Released

The latest update for Motorstorm was released today, being patch 3.1.

You now have the ability to either use a 2D grid screen for vehicle selection, or a 3D vehicle screen. The 2D screen saves on load time.

The host of a Motorstorm game can also choose mirrored tracks which reverses the entire geometry set of the tracks. Where you went left you will now go right. It takes getting used too.

PixelJunk Monsters Joins PSP Remote Play Titles

PixelJunk Monsters, Q-Game's upcoming PLAYSTATION Network game (already released in Japan), is going to join the line-up of titles for the PLAYSTATION 3 that support remote play.

According to Q-Games' Dylan Cuthbert, it is one of the best titles on Remote Play due to the game playing at low bandwidth. "We also support PSP remote play and it is probably one of the first games that supports this really well - ie. it is totally playable through your PSP, even at low bandwidths."

It's good to see you'll be able to play more games on the go. This is one that interests me as well. I might just give it a download upon it's release.
