Crysis 2 screenshots, while running on PS3

In the recent years many people have drooled over the stunning graphics of Crysis, but few could actually run it. To many it was practically unplayable, because it required the power only a multi-thousand dollar gaming PC had to offer. But with the news/screens of Crysis 2 finally starting to surface, we are now getting [...]

Ubisoft announces Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

It’s official; Ubisoft is producing another tactical military shooter to add to its growing gameography (yes, we know that’s not a real word, but if terms like ‘filmography’ and ‘discography’ can be used why not?).
Future Soldier, which is being developed by the same award-winning team that brought us Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, will [...]

Project Needlemouse is dead; long live Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

As this artcile’s title suggests, Sega’s 2D HD remake of iconic 90s platformer Sonic the Hedgehog has been officially unveiled. To say we’re excited would be a gross understatement.

Sega announces star of ‘Project Needlemouse’

Most in-the-know gamers are probably aware of what ‘Project Needlemouse’ is, but for the benefit of others this is the codename for Sega America’s new HD side-scrolling Sonic the Hedgehog title, planned for release on the PlayStation Network sometime this year.

Gran Turismo 5 launch deferred by Sony

News comes from an official (and confusedly translated) PlayStation.com press release that the Japanese launch of Gran Turismo 5 has been pushed back from March to April 2010.
Though justification for the delay is predictably absent, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is due to publish a revised release date for Polyphony Digital’s racing blockbuster soon. There is still [...]

SCE cracks down on Content Sharing

If any of you proud PlayStation 3 owners have neglected to check your email recently, we recommend you do, particularly if you partake in content sharing…

Polyphony Digital confirms Track Editor for GT5

As if almost 1,000 licensed cars and 70-odd circuits wasn’t enough to get racers excited about Gran Turismo 5, a representative at developer Polyphony Digital has confirmed to Everything for Gamers – officially, so it seems – that the final product will feature a comprehensive track editor:
‘Yes [the game] will have a track editor. You will [...]

According to Bowling, this feature cannot be toggled on or off [...]

Modern Warfare 2 Rated 18

Modern Warfare 2 has been given an 18 age rating by the BBFC censorship agency today for containing ‘strong bloody violence’. And there we were thinking it would be all feather dusters and cotton wool…
Joking aside, this news makes us wonder just how horrific Infinity Ward’s sequel to Modern Warfare is going to be, given that Treyarch’s considerably graphic [...]

Oddworld Titles Confirmed for PS3

At PS3Vault, we do our very best to refrain from using the phrase ‘we told you so’ unless it’s absolutely necessary. We make no apologies, however, for screaming from the rooftops when our presuppositions are confirmed by an official body.
You might remember us hinting last month that Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee could be making its way [...]

Following the announcement of Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom is reaching out the PS3 community to ask how the new content included in Japan’s physical package (Biohazard 5: Alternative Edition) should be made available to those inhabiting the EU and North America.
