Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a “test,” says Kojima
Hideo Kojima considers PSP-exclusive Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker to be an experiment to see which directions the franchise can be taken in.
In a series of tweets from his newly minted Twitter account, the MGS boss said… lots of things in Japanese that we don’t understand. Here’s the translation according to CVG: “It’s difficult to show the interest and freshness of PW through video. Cameron’s Avatar was a huge hit because of the 3D video. That can’t be communicated through text and a trailer. It’s something you won’t understand unless you experience it for yourself in the theater.”
He continued, “It’s not that PSP is the main platform for the future MGS series. PW is a test to see what type of expansions are there if MGS is brought to a portable. We’re not just rising vertically with development on next generation systems, but also horizontally, trying to expand gameplay.”
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is set for a May 25 release in the US and May 28 in Europe.

Avalanche Studios Says More Games Should Be Cancelled
Straight from the mouth of Avalanche Studios’ CEO Christofer Sundberg during an interview with Develop Online.
"I still believe publishers should cancel more projects in case the developers fail to deliver quality, before the investments become too high."
Funny part? Sundberg specifically spoke of one game: Ubisoft’s Avatar: The…

Potential Epic Meltdown Nearing For The Show’s Release
A huge problem with what appears to be related to the internal clock took down many PS3’s on Sunday evening. The situation is approaching where the games to be released on Tuesday, including MLB 10: The Show, could be unplayable for a large number of gamers. The issue at hand prevents the console from connecting to PSN and keeps games that support trophies from being played even offline.
The slim PS3 models appear to be in the clear but the most of the original models are afflicted with the problem. One popular theory is that the PS3 could flip over to a real date of March 1st, after believing today is the non-existent February 29th, at 7et/4pt tonight. In that scenario the consoles may start working again.
If it doesn’t happen on its own in that manner Sony may be pressed to release a firmware update or lead into serious questions as to whether the consoles will be fixable at all and a recall may be in order. Reports are that even developer debug kits are out of commission which could end up in delays and other complications for projects in the works should the issue linger. All told this situation has the potential of being absolutely disastrous.
MLB 09: The Show is completely disabled and MLB 10 would likely face the same result when attempting to play. Sony has stated they are working on the problem though citing no specifics and there is no guarantee that anything will be resolved in time for when The Show makes it out to consumers in under 24 hours.
Splinter Cell delay “the best possible scenario” for Ubisoft
Speaking in an interview with CVG, game designer on Splinter Cell: Conviction, Patrick Redding, called the game’s delay from late February to mid-April “the best possible scenario,” which he said has allowed the developers more time to fix issues with the AI and add different challenge levels.
“In some ways it was the best possible scenario for us because we were angling towards our original release date in February. You know, as is always the case, you develop this kind of laundry list and think: ‘Aw man if only we had an extra bit of polish time to really go after that and that and that, plus all the usual debugging, that’d be wonderful,’” Redding revealed.
“So I mean a lot of it has been fixing issues with the AI, adding different challenge levels, giving the player the right level of difficulty at first.”
The game will be released on April 13th in North America and April 16th in Europe, with no pre-release demo planned.
