Late Night Consoling
Woo hoo! Online PS2 details! (See below)
- Here we go...GameSpot has posted a preview of Tony Hawk 3 that specifically focuses on its online multiplayer. It features lots of details, including word that it supports the PS2 network and modem adapters, as well as any standard USB network interface or modem. And there's also with a Q&A with one of the developers and new screenshots.
- The Collective, the talented developers behind Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Fallen and the upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer title have announced The Wrath, an upcoming Xbox title that features strategic gameplay combined with one-on-one combat (which sounds not at all unlike the classic game Archon).
- More game delays: according to FGN Online, Take Two has delayed Max Payne for the PS2 and will be removing references to New York City and Afghanistan from Grand Theft Auto 3 and Smuggler's Run 2. Also, PSX.IGN is reporting that Sony has delayed their PSOne title Syphon Filter 3.
- Some bad news for people expecting the GameCube versions of Resident Evil 2, 3 and Code Veronica to be as dramatic as the remake of the original game...GameSpot is reporting that those will just be ports, not complete revamps. Also mentioned in their news update is that Resident Evil 0 (the first completely original title for the system) will be released less than a year after the first remake.
- A new preview of Tekken Advance is up at Pocket.IGN. The game's 2D with a zooming camera (yuck...I thought we finally got rid of those), but it looks pretty impressive nonetheless.
- Here are some new shots of the inside of the GameCube...things look pretty cramped in there.
- Concluding their three-part look at the game, GameSpot has posted a video preview of Agent Under Fire.
- Reports are flying around the web that Nintendo is working on a backlit (or technically front-lit, since the lights would be on the side) version of the Game Boy Advance, which could be available as soon as December in Japan. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this happened - a backlit version of the original Game Boy was released in Japan a few years back (and that didn't have nearly as many complaints about the screen).
