Hello to all and welcome back to today's gaming news. As I said earlier today I would indeed post again if I came across another story that I felt worthy of mentioning, and I think I have found another. Like the last post, this one is again focused on Sony.
Throughout the day I have been keeping a close eye on the PlayStation Blog for further news regarding the Welcome Back package, of which there is no further information except that the 60 day Plus subscription for previous subscribers has been extended by a further 10 days to make up for the late reactivation of the Store.
So, it was that while checking the blog I came across a new post, this time from the blog manager James Gallagher. In the post Gallagher announces a number of games that will be released for the upcoming NGP handheld console.
Amongst those that were listed is Uncharted: Golden Abyss, a title that was shown at the original unveiling of the console back in January, although an official title was never given.
Another game that have been listed are another entry to the WipEout series in the form of WipEout 2048, which is to be, as with the rest of the series, developed by Studio Liverpool.
The third title that is listed goes the name of Little Deviants and will be developed by another British based company, Bigbig Studios, who have previously created the Pursuit Force series as well as the PSP's MotorStorm title, Arctic Edge. Little Deviants promises to contain a number of minigame which are designed to make use of and show the NGP's features, much in the same way as title's like Wii Sports, Kinect Adventures and Start the Party have showcased the features of their respective technology.
The fourth title is Super Stardust Delta. Very little is said about this game apart from it is set to make use of the NGP's dual analog sticks and touch screen. Is is not said who will be developing the space shooter, although it seems likely to be the original creators of the series, Housemarque as they developed both Super Stardust HD and it's PSP counterpart, Super Stardust Portable.
As will Super Stardust Delta, the next title has been listed, but with next to no information given. The game which is under the working title 'Sound Shapes' is said to be a musical side scroller, in which players create music using the touch screen.
The final two games that were also mentioned by Gallagher were both new additions to current series', as will Super Stardust. Both Hustle Kings and Everybody's Golf will have new titles available for the NGP and both presumable will use the console's features to their advantage.
The final thing that Gallagher did mention is Resistance: Retribution. Whilst this is already out for the PSP this is an example that the NGP will have backwards compatibility for PSP titles via the PlayStation store. The game will also be suited for the NGP's design and controls.
Finally, here is of course, the link to James Gallagher's post, which contains more information on the titles as well as various videos and screenshots. And here also is the respective posts for the US blog:
