Commander Fury

It’s amazing that it’s been almost 10 years since the release of the original <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/ratchet-clank/">Ratchet & Clank</a> on PlayStation 2. A lot has changed since 2002, but your loyalty to our furry Lombax and his faithful robot companion has endured. As we reach the 10th Anniversary of Ratchet & Clank, we wanted to commemorate the achievements of the Ratchet & Clank saga. Today, we’re delighted to announce the Ratchet & Clank 10th Anniversary Celebration, which also simultaneously addresses the biggest current request from our fans: <strong>The Ratchet & Clank Collection</strong>. This will contain <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/ratchet-clank-174-ps2.html">Ratchet & Clank</a>, <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/ratchet-clank-174-going-commando-ps2.html">Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando</a>, and <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/ratchet-and-clank-up-your-arsenal-ps2.html">Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal</a> – all remastered by <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/idol-minds/">Idol Minds</a>, working closely with our team at <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/insomniac-games/">Insomniac Games</a>. In addition to a full 1080p HD remaster (720p stereoscopic 3D support) of all three games and the inclusion of three Platinum Trophies, we’re happy to confirm that the online competitive multiplayer from Up Your Arsenal will be included. Now you can check out the acclaimed multiplayer mode that many of you didn’t get to experience the first time on PS2. More...

I’ve never seen a game quite like <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/datura/">Datura</a>. I encountered this upcoming <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a> adventure title last week during a <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gdc12/">GDC</a> demonstration that showed off the game’s intricate use of the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-move/">PlayStation Move</a> motion controller. In Datura, your gestures with <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps3/playstation-move/">PS Move</a> guide a disembodied hand onscreen, a bit like a mouse cursor but in a full 3D space. The motion tracking is 1:1, so I was able to reach into the game to interact with the environment, whether it was to caress a tree trunk or pull a hand-drawn map in for closer inspection. In the video, Producer Matt Morton gives a full tour of Datura’s interface and universe -- it’s absolutely worth watching. Intrigued by the game’s cryptic presentation and strong emphasis on player choice, I spoke with Director Michal Staniszewski to learn more about his inspirations. If Datura intrigues you, be sure to tune into this Thursday’s PlayStation Blogcast for another segment discussing this enigmatic <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/">PSN</a> title. And if you have questions, be sure to leave them in the comments. More...

Hey! I know we're all heavily enjoying <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/journey/">Journey</a> right now (it's amazing), but don't shut off your <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> when you're done with it because another awesome game, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/closure/">Closure</a>, is coming out at the end of the month. We just finished our launch trailer, which you can watch below right now! Just for recap, Closure is a puzzle platformer based around manipulating lights to phase objects in and out of reality. The core gameplay premise is: If you can't see it, it doesn't exist. It's a simple enough concept to understand, but the puzzles are anything but. A team of three (myself, artist Jon Schubbe, musician Christopher Rhyne) have spent three years working on Closure, designing nearly 100 unique and challenging puzzles spread across a variety of dark and eerie settings including a decrepit factory, a murky forest, an abandoned carnival, and a few other locales that I’ll leave as a surprise.

Well at least for all of those that came by to check out Austin based Lightbox Interactive’s Starhawk booth at SXSW’s Screenburn Arcade* this past weekend. The demo consisted of 6 rounds of ground*pounding action and air to air combat as you are working to protect your Rig from the Outcasts who are hell-bent on [...] <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pG4RJlOYbQJXiv-prWFjnXPw7ps/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pG4RJlOYbQJXiv-prWFjnXPw7ps/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pG4RJlOYbQJXiv-prWFjnXPw7ps/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pG4RJlOYbQJXiv-prWFjnXPw7ps/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?a=NdtGAPr4XZE:PjiCUw6DgmQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?a=NdtGAPr4XZE:PjiCUw6DgmQ:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?a=NdtGAPr4XZE:PjiCUw6DgmQ:Ly1H5S7uc7A"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/UrgentFuryUnleashed?d=Ly1H5S7uc7A" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UrgentFuryUnleashed/~4/NdtGAPr4XZE" height="1" width="1"/> More...

Based on the sheer number of questions we get about Gravity Rush, it’s clearly one of the most-anticipated <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a> games coming along in the next few months. Featuring stunning, cel-shaded visuals, Vita-tailored controls, and gravity-based gameplay, it’s no wonder that <a href="http://andriasang.com/comztk/gravity_daze_score/">reviewers across the Pacific</a> have awarded the game (known as “Gravity Daze†in Japan) <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-02-20-gravity-daze-review">high marks</a>. So when the game’s creators dropped into San Francisco last week for <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/gdc12/">Game Developers Conference</a>, I jumped at the chance to speak with them. In this conversation (shared with IGN’s <a href="http://stars.ign.com/objects/964/964429.html">Ryan Clements</a> - look for his story soon at <a href="http://vita.ign.com/">Vita.IGN.com</a>), Game Director Keiichiro Toyama and Art Director Yoshiaki Yamaguchi talk about the game’s original platform (not PS Vita!), why they avoided an overly Japanese aesthetic, and the surprising inspiration for its unique gravity-based gameplay.

Hello <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/">PlayStation.Blog</a>! You may or may not heard of 345 Games, but we are part of Viacom Entertainment Group, which also houses cable TV channels like <a href="http://www.spike.com/?xrs=ps_google">Spike TV</a> and <a href="http://www.comedycentral.com/">Comedy Central</a>. We’ve also launched a few recent <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a> games such as <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/deadliest-warrior/">Deadliest Warrior</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/ugly-americans-apocalypsegeddon/">Ugly Americans</a>. I wanted to take some time and let you all know that our next title Bellator MMA Onslaught will be arriving to <a href="http://us.playstation.com/psn/">PSN</a> this summer. Bellator MMA Onslaught is an arcade-style fighting game grounded in the reality of an established MMA brand. If you’ve never heard of the <a href="http://www.bellator.com/">Bellator Fighting Championships</a>, it’s an MMA organization that currently airs on MTV2 but will be moving to Spike TV starting in 2013. Bellator is unique compared to other MMA leagues in that tournaments are held to determine who fights for the championship belt rather than having promoters select the fighter for a championship match. If you win, you move on. If you lose, you go home. This philosophy works well in the video game space, where we are used to tournament-style progression and earning your way to the top. More...

Customize your characters with anything from fairy wings, to flamethrowers as you find a variety of robots and, well, shoot them. Both games are available today, so check them out! More...

With only five gamers remaining, the group isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to these final challenges. Last week’s episode found the group battling blindfolded on the beaches of Santa Monica in a <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/god-of-war-iii/">God of War</a>-inspired challenge with the winners earning a behind-the-scenes tour of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/santa-monica-studios/">Santa Monica Studio</a>. If you missed this rare inside look, you can still watch it right <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/shows-and-tv-series/thetester/episode/2012-thetester-episode-5.html">here</a>.

Each gamer will attempt to build the highest tower out of blocks and also be forced to reveal brutally honest opinions about their fellow housemates. More...

Later today, all North American PSN users will get full access to our new title <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/time-machine-rogue-pilot/">Time Machine: Rogue Pilot</a>. Today, I’m finally going to answer one of the most popular questions: Time Machine: Rogue Pilot’s classic (yet innovative) gameplay, multiplayer features, and extra modes will be available for as little as $6.99! To celebrate our big day, we’ve reached out to members of the development team to learn what they like most about the game, what are they especially proud of, and what they think <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a> users will most like.

With <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/journey/">Journey</a>'s wide release taking place later today, this edition of <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/pulse/">Pulse</a> presented by <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PlayStation Network</a> celebrates the innovative gameplay and stunning visuals from the most anticipated PSN game this year.

It’s been a little over three years since we launched our last game, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/flower/">Flower</a>. It was a difficult game to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/01/19/stop-and-smell-the-flower-on-psn-february-12th/">describe</a>, but a game that we took great pride in. Many of you took a chance with it and were as <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/05/07/announcing-the-flower-essay-contest-winners/">moved by it</a> as we hoped people would be. Now we’re here, three years later, on March 13th, 2012. We can’t wait to let you experience our latest PlayStation-exclusive game, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/journey/">Journey</a>. It has been heartening to see the reactions from the press <a href="http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/journey/critic-reviews">so far</a>. We’ve had editors tell us how much the game moved them emotionally, or fundamentally changed the way they think about <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/01/journey-review-i-want-to-go-to-there/">multiplayer</a> in <a href="http://www.g4tv.com/games/ps3/64117/journey/review/">video games</a>.

Get ready to throw down anytime, anywhere -- <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita’s</a> augmented reality brawler <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/reality-fighters/">Reality Fighters</a> hits stores today!

Once you’ve fully customized your fighter, you can either learn from your mentor, Mr. Miyagi, and battle in the single-player Story mode or challenge a friend to ad-hoc and online multiplayer matches.

Considering our recent spate of deadlines, the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-the-official-magazine/">PTOM</a> staff could do with a tropical vacation. But knowing our luck we’d end up on Far Cry 3’s island in the clutches of the game’s ruthless and seriously disturbed villain Vaas. Scratch that—knowing us, we’d probably pass on the trip to paradise and curl up in our game cave playing Ubisoft’s engrossing new open-world adventure. Too much sun is bad for you anyway. If we were to head out on an expedition, we’d be sure to bring on our shiny new <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/">PS Vita</a>. But the real question: What games would we bring? We’ve got answers in our PS Vita reviews feature that breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the portable system’s first wave of games.

It’s Nick from <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/namcobandai/">NAMCO BANDAI Games</a>, and I’m here to give PlayStation.Blog readers an early look at this week’s Tales of Graces f launch trailer!

Tales of Graces f will be available tomorrow, March 13, so be sure to pick up your copy. I also have a second piece of news I would like to share really quick.

Available tomorrow on <a href="https://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PSN</a>, <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/shoot-many-robots/">Shoot Many Robots</a> is an action game with a twist: You can play with up to four people cooperatively online. If you don't already have an excuse to make three friends and kill some robots, we've provided five: <h4>More, More, More</h4> It’s a simple formula. As you add more players to Shoot Many Robots, you’ll encounter more robots, more explosions, and more chaos. Playing with co-op partners increases the number of robots in each level which means more things to kill...and more ways to kill them. And more dead robots means more Nut pickups, which enable you to buy new guns and gear. All of the randomly dropping items like powerups and loot also drop more frequently. In co-op, everything is just more fun. More...

The sun is starting to shine brighter and the days are longer, which can only mean one thing: <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/spring-fever/">Spring Fever</a> is back on <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/psn/">PlayStation Network</a>! Every year, Spring Fever brings a bouquet of fresh new downloadable PS3 games to PSN with some special offers and discounts in the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-store/">PlayStation Store</a> each week for three weeks.

In addition, there will be special <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/playstation-plus/">PlayStation Plus</a> benefits throughout the event, including awesome early access and huge discounts (up to 75% off!).

Whenever you see a zombie in a TV show, video game, or movie (or real life!), you need to kill it. All of the zombies must die! The unforgiving slaughter of zombies <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Zombie_%28film%29">goes back to the 1930s</a> and is stronger than ever 80 years later. What will it take to end the violence? A group of activists in <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/yakuza-dead-souls/">Yakuza: Dead Souls</a> is trying to do just that. You can learn more, and even donate to their cause, in the game. Regardless of how you feel about zombie rights, it’s worth a stop to admire their creative protest signs, with slogans like “Zombies are people too!†and “What if your child were a zombie?!†This is just one of the weirdly funny ways that zombies and real life are linked in Yakuza: Dead Souls. The game is full of clever moments, so get out there and explore Kamurocho to find all that is waiting to be discovered! And if you’re not fighting for zombie rights, you can get all the crazy zombie-killing action you’re craving, with a distinct Yakuza twist. More...

This is my first blog post as a member of the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/dc-universe-online/">DCUO</a> team and I could not be more excited.

My personal favorite new Raid is set in <a href="http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/en/news/archive.vm?id=95&month=current">Themyscira</a>, the ancestral home of Wonder Woman. More...
