Nier Replicant is the other game being released in Japan for the PS3. The one we’re getting is Nier Gestalt and it’s being released in Japan for the 360 while it’s multiplatform here in the US, and its just being called Nier. There has been no word if we’ll be getting Nier Replicant.

Today, Tecmo Koei, along with NSP, revealed that the latest game based on the popular manga/anime series Fist of the North Star (also known as Hokuto No Ken) will be released this summer in the PAL region.  Known as Hokuto Musou in Japan, the game is a successor to the sidescrollers and beat ‘em ups released in the lat 80s to early 90s.  So far, there is no word as of an American release date, but no worries.  If you own a PS3, you can thank Sony for doing away with region locking.

Yakuza 3 is set to be released on March 9th in the US and March 12th in the UK. Only a few more days guys!

Cooperative missions through Xbox Live and local split screen play is the most significant upgrade from the original, independently released PC version of Zeno Clash to the Xbox Live Arcade version of Zeno Clash: Ultimate Edition.  As the hardcore gang FSU once stated “friends don’t let friends fight alone.”

Sergio Rivera’s Podcast

 

This week Sergmanx, SolidusGdzilla, Bigsmilereviews, kevinreviews, and the guest of the week SuperCamMan20 talk about The Nintendo Media Summit, achievements/trophies, and more. This is the most bonkers dpadcast yet! There is some technical difficulties with this episode.  This is our youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/DpadCast

A wide rash of game-crashing errors is spreading among the PS3-owning community at the moment, most of which can be chalked up to a 8001050F error code. This has led to a variety of unfortunate side-effects for those affected, including corrupted trophy information and an inability to access the PSN. When combined, those two issues prevent players from launching certain games, such as Heavy Rain , without being kicked back to the XMB. Rumors say this is affecting Phat model ps3s only. Sony said they are working on fixing this. To be safe I suggest everyone who has not turned on their ps3 today leave it off till this blows off.

Update: Sony has confirmed via twitter Readers/followers are confirming that “slim” units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally. Everyone else with older models leave your ps3s off till there is a solution.

2nd Update: From Playstation.Blog:

“We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours. In the meantime, if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.”

This doesn’t look like an easy fix
