| Sony showing more than 50 games at TGS 2013 Sep 4th 2013, 06:34 Publisher to showcase 10 PS4 titles, with the remainder on PS Vita and PS3; Deep Down reportedly making its public debut. 
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has announced (Japanese) that it will show more than 50 games at this year's Tokyo Game Show, including the first major details on Capcom's Deep Down. As reported by CVG, the list includes a mixture of first- and third-party software for currently available and soon-to-be-released platforms. Of these, 10 games will be for Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4, with the remainder split between the PlayStation 3 and the company's PlayStation Vita handheld. Standouts include Tearaway, Gran Turismo 6, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Knack, and Capcom's mysterious PS4 fantasy game Deep Down. First shown during the PlayStation 4's February reveal event, and teased further in a new trailer on the game's official website, last month, Siliconera reported that Deep Down is being developed by Capcom Online Games. It is expected to be an online RPG that "supports a large number of players", and will require an internet connection. While some players have wondered whether the game may be connected to Dragon's Dogma, Capcom has assured fans that Deep Down is a new intellectual property, with no connection to any existing franchises. Tokyo Game Show 2013 will run from September 19-22 this year, including two business and two public days. GameSpot will be in attendance. Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot
|  | Microsoft passed on Heavy Rain due to game's child kidnapping themes Sep 4th 2013, 03:41 David Cage reveals Microsoft wanted to avoid the scandal associated with publishing a game that featured child abduction. 
Heavy Rain director and Quantic Dream studio co-founder David Cage has revealed that Microsoft turned down publishing the game on the platform, suggesting that "they didn't want the scandal" of being associated with a game with child abduction as a central theme. The news came as part of Cage's presentation at the BAFTA Annual Games Lecture being held in London, as reported by Polygon. According to the outspoken French developer, while the Xbox creator "really loved Fahrenheit" and "really wanted to do something with us", the two couldn't come together on the developer's next project, with the pair philosophically opposed. "Microsoft is a great company, I'm not complaining or criticising," Cage said, explaining that Sony was far more receptive to the game's concept and themes, resulting in the two companies moving ahead to collaborate on what would become the PlayStation 3-exclusive cinematic adventure, Heavy Rain. While still independently owned, Quantic Dream has worked closely with Sony in recent years, and is currently preparing to release PlayStation 3-exclusive adventure game Beyond: Two Souls. The software developer also unveiled a PlayStation 4 tech demo called The Dark Sorcerer at E3 2013. Read and Post Comments | Get the full article at GameSpot
| | Grand Theft Auto V features voice-overs from real gang members Sep 4th 2013, 00:48 Rockstar recruited real-life gang members to voice characters in GTA V to maintain authenticity. 
Rockstar Games has revealed that it was so eager to capture the genuine sounds of the streets for Grand Theft Auto V that it recruited real-life gang members to contribute voice-overs for the game. Game producer Lazlow Jones confirmed the news during an interview with Chicago radio station WGN (via VideoGamer.com). "When we record all these ambient characters that are in the world, we go towards authenticity," Jones said. "So in the game, part of the element of the story is that there's rival gangs. "There's black gangs, there's Latino gangs, and we recruited a guy who gets gang members, like actual gang members, real gang members. I mean, El Salvadorian gang dudes with amazing tattoos and one of which literally had gotten out of prison the day before. And we brought these guys in to record the gang characters because, you know, you don't want a goofy LA actor who went to a fancy school trying to be a hard gang member. There's nothing worse than that." Faced with the prospect of delivering dialogue that gang members would never actually say, Jones said they would often shelve the script for something more organic and true. "They look at the lines and they say, 'I wouldn't say that. If I was upset at another gang, I wouldn't say that'. So…say what you would say. Authenticity, you know? "There's a lot of sessions that we would have where we would just throw the script on the floor and be like, this thing we wrote is irrelevant, let's just work out something real." Rockstar recently announced that GTA V will include 240 licensed music tracks and 15 radio stations. The game launches worldwide on September 17 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
