Anyone who has played L.A. Noire will appreciate this hilarious clip from Funny or Die. The sketch highlights just how bad the ‘Doubt’ dialogue option can be in the game, turning the nice caring main character into a screaming maniac.

I might be going a bit mad. Sony showed off the PlayStation Vita, formerly known as NGP, at E3 with some great titles including Uncharted 2 and LittleBigPlanet but all I can think of is the augmented reality fighting game Reality Fighters. The games uses the consoles front camera to take a picture of you to use as a character, the back camera then provides a background to fight on. It looks insanely gimmicky, but also really fun! Somehow, this has become my most wanted game. I need a lie down.
The PlayStation Vita is due out at the end of 2011, though it looks like this will be the Japanese release with Western countries getting the handheld in early 2012. Check out the introductory video below:

Face it, games are a bit easy these days with their checkpoints and regenerating health. It’s all about guiding a user through an experience instead of pushing players to the limit. Well nobody told FROM Software this when the developed cult hit Demons’s Souls for the PS3. This game was rock hard and very punishing – though it did not rely on cheap deaths that frustrate players, it was a real test of your gaming skills with an innovative online system that let you leave hints for others and you could even become an end of level boss. The spiritual sequel Dark Souls is coming to both PS3 and Xbox 360 and it looks like it’s not getting any easier. ‘Prepare to die’ then check out this trailer.

Hideo Kojima may not be at E3 but he still had some big announcements to share with fans, namely that HD collections featuring Metal Gear Solid and Zone of the Enders are coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360.
The Metal Gear collection includes MGS2, 3 and the PSP game Peace Walker. Using a new system Kojima calls ‘Transfar’, you can play the same saved game for Peace Walker on both the PS3 and PSP/NGP. Intrestingly, in Japan the collection is being split. MGS2 and 3 on one disc, and a whole disc just for Peace Walker. However, the MGS2 and 3 cover-art features the Transfar logo. The Kojima Productions website states that PS2 save data can be used on the HD version, then that can be stored online for access via a portable console. Could these remasters also be compatible with the new Sony handheld? The logo also appears on the Zone of the Enders collection which contains both games in the cult series. Cue speculation that a third title is on the horizon!
The MGS ports are due in November and are developed by Bluepoint Games who were behind the successful God of War HD Collection. Zone of the Enders is due 2012, no word as yet about the developers.
