LocoRoco coming to the PS3 ... in some form
PSP cult favorite LocoRoco is coming to the PS3, but it might not be in the form you expect. At Sony's Japanese PlayStation Premiere event, the company announced the tentatively titled Buu Buu Cocoreccho! by LocoRoco, a sequel that is "LocoRoco, but it's not ... a peculiar extra chapter."The announcement, as translated by IGN, goes on to cryptically state that "even if you don't play it [as in control the game], the world and the LocoRoco will play [as in both playing amongst themselves and as in playing back like a video] on their own." So is it a game? A glorified screen saver? A virtual LocoRoco ant farm? Who can say?Whatever form it takes, the "game" will use Sixaxis motion controls and should be available as a PlayStation Network download soon.
Loco Roco for PS3 confirmed 95% complete
The PlayStation Premiere event in Tokyo has seen a veritable cornacopia of announcements so far today (with more to come, no doubt). One such announcement is that the PS3 version of Loco Roco, entitled Buu Buu Cocoreccho!, is 95% complete and so will be available, no doubt, before the end of the year. A downloadable title that promises to be "playing, even when you aren't", Buu Buu Cocoreccho! will feature 200 Loco Roco characters as well as full SIXAXIS control support. There's not much more information that that (as seems to be a theme with these PlayStation Premiere announcements), but now that the word is out there's no doubt we'll be hearing lots more about it up until its release.
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops expansion announced
The PlayStation Premiere event in Tokyo is in full swing and news is coming thick and fast. The latest news is that Konami has announced an expansion for the PSP title Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops. Focused on online play, the game will feature new levels and characters, as well as a new single player "Infinity mode". Not much more information regarding the gameplay has been released, however the price of the expansion will be 2,400 yen on its own, or 4,300 yen in a double pack with the original game. The expansion will be released in Japan on the 20th of September, with no word yet on an American/European release. We're intrigued and cannot wait to have a look at how this expansion works out. Hopefully it'll satisfy our Metal Gear Solid appetites until MGS4 comes out in early '08. If the expansion reaches the English speaking world before then, that is.Check out IGN for some more screenshots.
