At this point everyone should be well aware that Soul Calibur 4 is going to be a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 exclusive game. And most controversial is the exclusive characters for each version. While Playstation 3 gamers get ready for a June, 24th release and get to wield the powers of the dark side they are sad left in the cold with no Yoda love. Or are they…

Nintendo’s release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl made it a truly Nintendo weekend. It came to no surprise that Sony would release their tentative title list with dates reaching as far ahead as 2010. Note that these are tentative release dates and are subject to change. Release dates change on a daily basis, so be sure to call your gaming store to make sure the game you’re looking for is available (TBA means no release date has been determined yet).

Shortly after announcing the Nintendo Wii release date of Spore… game producer Thomas Vu revealed that EA would love to bring the game to the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

Vu told CVG…

There’s lots of technical hurdles we have to think about before we can say, ‘Okay, we can do this or not’. But we’re always looking at and thinking about these issues

and he goes on to say…

Yeah, of course we’d love to do it, but at the same time we don’t know

So who knows if Spore will ever reach the two other next gen consoles… I’d say it’s a safe bet… I’m sure EA would hate missing out on all that money.

Wait… did I just say install time… the PS3 is a console correct? Well, it appears that in order to play DMC4 your required to install roughly 5GB of data onto your hard drive the first time you boot up the game.

Chris Kramer recently posted over at the Capcom blog about the unexpected 5GB install for DMC4. In his post he says that the data is needed in order to play the game, but he says that it’s just the one time install and will result in “near-Super Nintendo speed load times”.

News.Filefront has an excerpt from Kramer’s post…

If you don’t want to watch the “Previously, on Devil May Cry…” portion of the install process, go make a sandwich and grab a soda, then come on back. You’re going to be spending some serious time with this game, and we don’t want you going hungry. Low blood sugar will make you dizzy and you’ll need to be focused like an Alan Parsons Project to defeat the enemies in this game.

Wah! The game takes 20 minutes to install the first time. Wah! Have you ever played a PC game? At least we aren’t making you shuffle multiple discs into a ROM drive, or continuously click “Yes!” on a series of endless Windows dialog boxes. Installing on a console may seem like a weird idea, but there’s a real benefit. Unreal Tournament also has an option to install files onto your PS3; I’ve done it and it makes a great game even better.

Personally, I’ve not played DMC4 yet… but when I do you won’t hear me complaining. Sure you’ll spend 20 minutes of install time in the beginning… but how much time are you going to save if the load times are as fast as Kramer says they are? In my opinion… much more than 20 mintues.

So, what are your thoughts on having to install 5GB worth of data to your PS3 hard drive?

A supposed hidden message has been found in an unlockable video in the series latest release, Twisted Metal: Head On. The recently discovered message gives various numbers, and after you put them together in alphabetical order it gives you the message “Twisted Metal is on PSTHREE“.

According to PS3.Kombo David Jaffe hinted in the past that a link to his next game could be found in the “upcoming” Head On release.

Sure, it’s not definitive proof that the title is coming for the PS3… but I’ll take what I can get.

I’m sure this news will make many Snake fans happy… as it’s been rumored that a playable Metal Gear Solid 4 demo will be available on the Playstation Network next month.

Anyone think Uncharted look pretty good? Well, according to Evan Wells (Naughty Dog Developer)… you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Kotaku.com has a quote from Evan himself…

The PLAYSTATION 3 is a complex yet powerful system. We could not pull off the rich, seamless world of Uncharted on any other console. Because the system is so powerful, it means that tapping into that power requires great engineering efforts. We’re lucky that Naughty Dog has some of the best programmers in the industry. I can also tell you that as we’re finishing Uncharted, we’ve found new ways of optimizing our engine to take advantage of the hardware. All of which means that, as beautiful as our game is, there is a lot more in store for the PLAYSTATION 3.

How much better can it get?… I guess only time will tell.
