3D TV and 3D YouTube Coming To PS3

Mick Hocking, head of 3D games at Sony Worldwide Studios, shared some valuable information on the future of 3D on the PlayStation 3.

"So you'll see 3D games in the next 12 months, you'll see Blu-ray movies in 3D, and as soon as the broadcasts start through our PlayTV services, you're going to watch 3D content [via that].

"YouTube will be supporting 3D content over the next 12 months as well - and you'll be able to watch that on the PlayStation 3. And as you start taking 3D pictures of your family or 3D camcorder movies, you can play those back on PS3, too."

So what we can pull from those two quotes are that YouTube will enable 3D videos in the near future and they will be viewable on the PlayStation 3. Also, 3D games, movies, and even television are incoming. This is the big push for 3D, let's see if it succeeds.

SOCOM 4 Announced

Zipper Interactive's SOCOM series will have a sequel. According to Sony, their "surprise sequel" announcement is related to SOCOM 4.



SOCOM 4, the latest addition to the SOCOM series, will take place in South East Asia. In this place is where "a revolutionary army has seized control of a country bordering one of the world's most vital waterways; threatening to disrupt the global economy," according to the European PlayStation Blog.

    "Your mission is to step into the well-worn boots of the Ops Com, a NATO Operations Commander of an elite, five-man squad. You must venture deep into inhospitable jungles, city streets and crumbling urban ruins to engage an army of rebel fighters and discover their plans.

"Although you're vastly outnumbered, you're armed with the latest weaponry and your men are second to none – but do you possess the stealth, speed and tactical thinking to lead them to victory? Time is not on your side: you have just six days to complete your mission. To emerge victorious, you must lead from the front, maintain control of the situation and fight with sheer intensity."

The first trailer will be shown on GameTrailers TV tomorrow morning. No date has yet been confirmed.

What about Killzone 3 in 3D by Christmas? That's what we're hearing here at GiantGamer tonight.



From over at VG247, a massive rumor regarding Sony's graphically inclined shooter series Killzone has been unleashed to the internet. The sequel to the highly successful Killzone 2 for the PlayStation 3 may be available for play in your house by this Christmas. Excited? We know it.

"According to sources close to Guerrilla, the game's set for a holiday launch complete with Arc and 3D support."

We have to say that this is still a rumor, and not confirmed by anyone who works for Sony or Guerrilla Games.

 
Can we expect Killzone 3 by Christmas? We will have to see, but don't expect anything before E3.

Coming soon: Battlefield Bad Company 2

As we anxiously await the highly anticipated release of DICE's online shooter Battlefield Bad Company 2, we can look at what we can expect to see when the game is finally inserted into our consoles.

Hitting store shelves this Tuesday, Bad Company 2 is promising to deliver a multiplayer experience on par with its #1 rival Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and a single player mode with an immersive storyline.






Single-Player:


The single-player campaign features the same characters from the first game and will have 11 intense missions. Players will fight through many different settings, from cutting through jungles in South America to sliding down snow-capped mountains in Alaska.


The humor which made the first installment so popular will return with a vengeance in BF:BC2. Your allies will not hesitate to comment on the action, even harassing you or your teammates (In a friendly way of course).






Multiplayer:


The multiplayer mode is a completely different beast compared to its single-player component.

Some returning players may recognize the Rush mode taken from the original Bad Company, which is now referred to simply as Rush. The goal in Rush is to either attack the opposition defending their crates full of gold or to defend your gold-filled crates against the attacking team. 


In-between deaths and respawns, players can choose the weapon kit to outfit themselves with. The difference is now players can choose from only 4 kits instead of 5. These kits are Assault, Engineer, Recon, and Medic.


Experience points gained from kills, goal completions and assist points can go toward add-ons for weapons such as grenade launchers, improved sights and even a shotgun canister.

The destruction mechanics have improved from the first installment featuring more realistic explosions. Players can now level an entire building including the framework where the original left the framework.


This game improves from its predecessor in many ways, and we have to say that DICE has done a great job of creating an all-around shooter experience. Battlefield Bad: Company hits the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on March 2nd.
