This Week on PlayStation.Blog

322 4

We’re into the Summer now, and while it’s not hot here in NorCal (yet), I know that’s not the case in most of the country. So here’s what you’ll be reading if decide to stay inside and cool off in front of the calming glow of the internet this week:

  • Many of you have been asking about Katamari Forever – Namco Bandai answers the call with their first post on the game
  • Speaking of NB, we explore the most interesting new mode in Tekken 6
  • The Punisher: No Mercy gets a release date
  • The behind-the-scenes look at MAG continues
  • What is Shatter?
  • Hustle Kings first details

Also, I’m hoping to get some of the Naughty Dogs in for a Live Chat, though that might have to wait a week or two. Actually, there are a number of groups l’d like to get in here to answer your questions live. Please, help us prioritize!

[poll id=”17″]

Note, I’d like to have *all* of these devs on at some point or another, but we’d like to hear what you think. Also, I know we didn’t have nearly every game/developer here, mostly just the targets I thought most likely (some overseas devs might be a problem based on time zones/language). That being said, if there’s someone you’d like to hear from, that’s what the comments are for. Speak up!

  • I would like a live Q&A session with Slant Six Games, the developers of SOCOM: Confrontation.

  • Polyphony Digital didn’t make the cut?
    I am in agreement with 45.

    Bring on Polyphony Digital!

    • Because of tranlation, etc, that might slow down a typical live chat. However, the PD team here in the states might be able to pick up the slack. We\’ll revisit.

  • Aksys Games? Blazblue is going to be released next week and they still didn’t show up here.

    Oh, and one more vote to the Slant Six petition. I’m sure they have a lot to answer to the SOCOM buyers.

  • Zipper Interactive.

    I have _so_ many question regarding MAG.

  • I have a lot of questions for the MAG developers, Zipper. So I would hope that sometime soon I’d get to ask a few of my many questions that can be found on the MAG message boards. Vote for Zipper everyone we can have a Q&A with SCEA another time!

  • Tecmo/Team Ninja
    Ubisoft Montreal
    SCEA Santa Monica Studio

  • this list is a joke, wheres /six?? we deserve a Q&A over all else

  • I like Summer, and I like Fat Princesses. You know what else I like? Release dates….concrete ones so my wife will quit asking me when Fat Princess comes out. Make me happy by making her happy PLEASE!?!?!

  • Katamari Forever news makes me happy. :)

  • Jeff, if you’re ever in Japan or if they’re coming over some day for promotion of their new game, you have to try to get an interview with Ueda or some people of Team Ico. I’d imagine that to be pretty fascinating.

  • what happened to the so-called trophy update to BC: Rearmed? Still not up

  • Ubisoft Montreal (Assassin’s Creed 2) for the win

  • Im for Slant Six Games Q&A session. SOCOM: COnfrontation.

  • Jeff any word on Socom Patch? I will ask everyday until Slant 6 does the right thing and updates “Their” blog.

  • Slant Six has neglected the Socom Community, big mistake!! Throw them to the dogs(us) in a Q&A Session.

  • Slant 6 needs to do a Q&A for Confrontation…

  • Quantic Dream. Maybe because we don’t know anything about Heavy Rain appart that at one point, a black dude will kick the [DELETED] out of Mulder from the X-Files.

  • Oh this isn’t fair Jeff, how am I suppose to choose one from all these wonderful developers T-T

  • Quantic Dream please! I’d love to talk to David Cage about his mysterious game.

    My other choice not listed in your poll would be TEAM ICO. I’d really love to know more about The Last Guardian.

    So how about it?

  • Man I’m stuck between Quantic dream and Zipper. I’ve always supported Zipper with MAG. But Heavy Rain is just so damn interesting…..

    Sorry quantic but I have to go with Zipper here.

  • Can we get a Q&A session with Slant Six Games, developers of Socom:Confrontation and the upcoming Fireteam Bravo 3?

  • It would be nice to have a Q&A session with Slant Six Games

  • SLANT SIX please.

  • ShatteredRaven77

    Are you going to give us more than a *stroke* on getting info for Katamari Forever, or do I have to sit here with Blue…

  • Hot, here (Indy) and what is up with all the Rain to many thunderstorms and lighting can’t play PS3 when it gets to bad But My PSP is getting a work out. :) (Punisher No mercy can’t wait!!!)

  • Only 1 % between Naughty Dog and SCEA Santa Monica Studio

  • The Chat with the developer system is broken sadly. Questions that are relevant to the games or submitted to the developers for answering do not get answer. However, questions like “I LOVE XXXX Company” or “What your favorite sports team” are answered multiply times during these questions and answer session. I know there is several 100+ question submitted to you guys around every five second, but you guys have to do a lot better job of weeding out the question that does not protean to the game.

  • I don’t want the guys from God of War 3 providing mores spoilers!!

    It’s one of those games I don’t want to read and watch videos before playing it, so when the time comes I’m totally impressed!

    Changing subject: Is there a way of checking my past comments on the blog to read if someone replied? And is there some way of knowing when other blog readers address me directly in their comments?

  • TakeshiKaneshiro

    Jeff, can you set it up so that Slant Six can have a Q&A with all these developers?

  • I would like to have UBISOFT Montreal and Infinity Ward on the Blog…..that would be a total WIn 4 me……..

  • How About a Q&A with Slant Six??? I have a ton of questions for those guys regarding the Socom Franchise. The vitality of it’s current state, and what is planned for the future.

  • Media Molocule?

  • i’d rather have a q&a with slant 6 to see why we don’t have a complete game 252 days after launch.

  • OMG Jeff!!! GTA Chinatown Wars is coming to the PSP!!!! W00t!!! ;-)

  • we need something from level 5, please

  • How about Slant Six? You know, the studio you underfunded and neglected during Socom Confrontation development. It has been 252 days since the game was released and WE ARE STILL WAITING ON FEATURES IN THE MANUAL!!!!!! Seriously? Seth Luisi had better not have a job anymore, although we will never know b/c he is too ashamed to show his face around since he outright LIED time and again to the Socom community. The way you handled one of your pillar franchises is an utter disgrace. FIX OUR GAME FIRE SETH LUISI GIVE SLANT SIX more talent/resources!!

  • I would like to have a session with SLANT SIX to talk about SOCOM: Confrontation.

  • @82

    I am in total support of having media molecule for a Q&A. i have a few questions. like: “When’s the Ratchet and Clank DLC coming!?”

  • Still nothing on Final Fantasy XIII then, I take it? I thought you said we were getting an update on the game last week…

  • Kazunori Yamauchi

  • Slant 6 Games is not listed?? Socom fans forgoten? Yes.

  • How about slant six?
    These developers don’t need questions asked, a community that NEEDS answers is the socom community.
    If not, then what the **** sony?
    Why abandon one of the biggest online franchises you’ve had in the past?

  • @Jeff,

    lol Ok you got me there I should of said something like a definite release date.

  • WE WANT KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS!!!!!

  • I’m dying to hear anything from Square Enix about anything; Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Agito XIII, XIV, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, or dare I say Kingdom Hearts 3.

  • Slant Six Games. The Socom Community definitly needs a Q&A about the state of Confrontation.

  • Listen to us!…we dont want stupid little features that u guys think are cool….because i have news for u, they aren’t. Why not listen to us and give us the things we want like cross game chat. Is it so hard just to even let us no that you are working on cross game chat or parties or SOMETHING. Beleive me i love sony…but more and more especially with all this microsoft crap i feel like you guys are rlly falling behind. Activision is even thinking of dropping you guys cuz you are of no use to them. Idk about anyone else but im gonna be pretty pissed if guitar heros stop coming to sony’s platforms. Plz just start giving us info about things we want. Last summer u gave us trophies and we f****** loved it! so give us something to f****** love this summer too, give us cross game chat at least and some sort of xmb party system or somthing like that! Plz, Sony, you guys are so much better than microsoft….just dont be afraid to make big dicisions as long as they help your clientel: the gamers.

  • I don’t know why ppl picked God of War III when the game doesn’t come out until March of next year.

  • Where in the world is Slant Six?! SOCOM is one of SONY’s top gaming franchises yet they let a game like Heavy Rain go on the list!! Add Slant Six, we need to know why every other PS3 game has DLC and SOCOM doesn’t.

  • I will add my voice to the Polyphony Digital Q&A.

    I understand that the information is apparently being kept under some penalty by death thing, but once there is a go ahead for information I really would love to have an opportunity to ask my favorite publisher about my favorite game series.
