During Sony’s E3 media conference, it was announced that the Playstation Vita will become an enhanced controller for the Playstation 3 via a cross-controller initiative. Not much has been said on the technology, but there will be one piece of DLC coming to show off its capabilities. LittleBigPlanet 2 will be receiving a cross-controller DLC to allow interaction with the Playstation Vita.

No other details, including which games it will support, were revealed during the conference, but more details should be coming within the following months.. Hopefully Sony follows through with this initiative, as it does sound interesting and intriguing.

Hot off the E3 2012 stage, Sony has announced that its upcoming crossover brawler PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will be coming to the Playstation Vita. But wait there’s more, both Vita and Playstation 3 versions of the game will have cross platform multiplayer. Meaning that Vita players can off against PS3 player (and vice versa) in the game’s multiplayer.

But the surprises didn’t stop there; two new characters for the game have been announced at Sony’s Press Conference – Bioshock’s Big Daddy and Uncharted’s Nathan Drake, confirming earlier rumours of their existence in the game. Big Daddy and Nathan Drake join the growing lineup of Sly Cooper, Kratos, Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal), Fat Princess and PaRappa the Rapper.

Save files of the game can be used in both versions allowing for player to mix and match their gaming experience on the go on their Vita or Playstation 3. Both Playstation 3 and PS Vita versions of  PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will launch in winter 2012.

At Sony’s E3 Conference, David Cage took to the stage and announced a new ‘gaming’ experience titled Beyond.

This new ‘game’ features popular actress Ellen Page (who has been making the voice acting rounds lately) as the main character Jodie Holmes, who seems to have some kind of supernatural ability. The ‘game’ follows the same formula as Heavy Rain, with presumably a lot of quick time events and decisions and very little actual ‘gameplay’

Sony showed off a trailer for the ‘game’ which featured unknown quantities of actual ‘gameplay’. Regardless it is some pretty interesting stuff, we will keep you updated with more information on this title as it comes to light.

Official Dead Space 3 Trailer Revealed

Dead Space 3 was shown off in all its glory on stage at EA’s E3 press conference. Moving slightly away from its survival horror roots, Dead Space 3 will now have a co-op focus with series protagonist Isaac Clarke teaming up with new character John Carver.

From what the trailer shows off and what we’ve seen on stage at E3, the game seems to be taking a more action shooter feel rather than the usual dark survival horror. And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, this might be a step in the right direction with the new drop in drop out co-op feature.

Visceral Games have said that Dead Space 3 “will deliver action and horror on a scale that far exceeds anything we’ve done before.” Setting the bar even higher than the last game, Dead Space 3 will set on the frozen ice planet of Tau Volantis, where the key to ending the Necromorph infestation may be found.

Dead Space 3 is set to be released for Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC in February 2013.

Enjoying the good amount of Assassin’s Creed 3 news as of late? Well, here’s another helping. After showing off that nice cinematic trailer, Ubisoft used their show floor to display a over seven minute clip of gameplay footage that shows our hero Connor in action.

From fetch quests, axing Brits in the chest, and stabbing wolves in the throat, the Ubisoft-AnvilNext engine is a fine beauty at work here, and the overall setting seems to make the world seem even more open and beautiful this around. Watch the new clip below, and keep coming back for more E3 coverage after leaving your thoughts below.

Well, if any of you wanted to know exactly how Assassin’s Creed 3 will play out, you should now be happy as Ubisoft revealed a very nice CG trailer for the upcoming sequel to the blockbuster series. This trailer shows off the main protagonist Connor in the American Revolution setting, who is half British, half Native American, and ready to kill everything in sight.

According to Ubi, “you will become the spark that ignites the revolution into a full blaze”, meaning this character is going to be sure to have an interesting tale that is sure to be full of sex, betrayal, and death…you know, your typical Assassin’s Creed fare. I must say though that I didn’t like the whole American Revolution setting before, but it has grown on me now and I can easily say that this game is now on my want list. Check out the brand new trailer below and stay tuned, as there is more Assassin’s Creed 3 coverage to come.

One of the most interesting highlights of Ubisofts’ E3 Press Conference was the debut trailer of the brand new Wii U exclusive title Zombie U.

While very little is known about Zombie U at this point in time it is clear that it will be a very mature game with a dark and gritty tone, filled with beautiful blood and gore. A tag line has been included for the game asking the audience the question “How long will you survive?”

Zombi U is set to be a first-person shooter that utilizes the Gamepad as a survival kit’ during gameplay. This terrifying survival horror game set during a zombie apocalypse is set to be a Wii U launch title and one of the many reasons gamers will pick up a Wii U at launch.

Watchdogs E3 Coverage – Ubisoft’s Awesome New IP

Watchdogs from Ubisoft Montreal is looking like it’s going to be an amazing new IP for this publisher and developer. The game looks like it’s a sort of cyberpunk story in a city that is always networked and everything is controlled by a standalone computer called CTOS.

Unfortunately for the citizens of this city, CTOS is being used to collect information on all of its inhabitants and using it against them for nefarious purposes by the corporations. Of course, if corporations can do it, then why can’t hackers? And that’s where the game comes into it. Using hacking skills, why can’t you control the city?

Players will utilise hacking skills to tap into conversations, control technology to their benefit and even more. This is certainly a new IP that I am looking forward to playing as it looks simply amazing and the concept is something that appears to be quite interesting.
