  • The Witcher 2 For Xbox 360 Delayed To 2012

    The Witcher 2 is a PC exclusive which was recently announced at this year’s E3 for the Xbox 360. It was going to be released this year, but now it seems like it has been delayed to Q1 2012.

    The game is being delayed for two reasons according to CD Projekt RED, the makers of Witcher 2. One reason is to provide more time to the development team so that they can focus more on expanding and polishing certain elements of gameplay. The other reason is due to the legal battle ongoing between CD Projekt RED and Namco due to the removal of DRM from the PC version of Witcher 2.

    The Witcher 2 is an action RPG which was liked alike by both fans and critics. It had good sales figure and was a success for its developer CD Projekt RED. It is sequel to the original “The Witcher” on PC, which despite being lauded for its unique style gameplay and story, it was a horrible and buggy game. Later though, CD Project managed to patch the bugs by releasing updates for the game.

    The original Witcher was also destined for a console release but never made it. It was announced for release in Fall 2009 but later it was cancelled.

    This game is only announced for the Xbox 360, there is no news of any PS3 version so far.

  • PlayStation 3 Latest Firmware Update To Add Some Cool New Features

    Sony has released the details on the upcoming firmware update for the PlayStation 3. According to official PlayStation blog, this new update will add the ability to auto-synch trophies and have a auto-upload function for online save data. There is a catch though, it is limited to PlayStation Plus subscribers only. Read more to find out the full change log.

    Sadly, as we know, the most promising new features are only available to people who have a PlayStation Plus subscription meaning regular users won’t be able to enjoy it. So what about the regular users? What do they get with this new firmware update. Well according to the press release, the regular users are also getting some new features.

    For starters, there is nothing really important. There is a new category added on XMB which will include all the Video Applications at one place for ease of use. There is also a new recommend function which will allow you to share you recommendations with others for PlayStation Store items. Along with these minor updates, this new firmware update will also bring updated support for 3D and Blu-ray playback. Read the official press release below:-

    Hi everyone! As we are continuously working toward providing the best gaming and entertainment experience on PlayStation 3, I wanted to give you all a heads up on the following new features and changes coming with the next system software update (v.3.70).

    To make things easier for PlayStation Plus subscribers, we’ve added the option to automate two existing features. The [Automatic Download] feature will now be called [Automatic Update] as a result of these new options.

    A new auto upload function for online save data back-up will be added to make it easier to back-up your game save data. Under (Game), select the game for which you want to automatically upload saved data, and then press the Triangle button.
    Also, Trophies will now sync automatically at the timing of Auto Download.
    A new recommendation function will be added that enables you to share your recommendations for PlayStation Store items, such as games and videos, with PlayStation Network friends. You will be able to send messages with a store link from the product pages within the PlayStation Store.
    Due to the increase in video applications being offered on PS3, we are adding a new category on the XMB called TV/Video Services. This category will include video applications such as Netflix, Hulu PLUS, and VUDU.

    You’ll be able to find and download all of the video applications available on PS3 directly from this new XMB category.
    A folder labeled “My Channels” within this category will allow you to easily access your downloaded applications.
    Any videos downloaded from the PlayStation store will continue to be placed in the existing Video category on the XMB

    Two updates for all of you enjoying Blu-ray 3D movies on PS3:

    3D support will now be available when accessing Java-based special features on Blu-Ray
    DTS-HD MA, DTS-HD HR decoding/bit stream output (or lossless audio) will be supported while playing Blu-ray 3D movies.
    3D digital photos in MPO format can now be viewed in 3D on the XMB and in the Photo Gallery app.
