Microsoft Paint isn't the most useful image manipulation program in the world. In fact, it's so primitive that it becomes a real challenge to do anything substantial on it. That hasn't stopped RANDISALBION from recreating an entire PSP in Paint. Seriously. Just watch ... but be careful! Your jaw might hit the floor.

While Tekken 6 made a surprise appearance at the AOU arcade expo in Japan a couple of weeks back, missing from the trailer footage and brief developer interview aired at the show was specific information on when we'd be able to get our hands on the title. In fact, aside from a promise of a 2007 arcade release, Bandai Namco failed to make a clear timeframe public.

But the folks at Japan's number one arcade magazine were privy to some extra details, it seems. A major arcade website has obtained the April issue of the monthly Arcadia magazine and posted all the key details. Included is one little bit that's sure to get Tekken fans excited. Tekken 6 development staff revealed to the magazine in an interview that they hope to put their latest creation on location test before the weather gets hot.

Depending on exactly how hot they mean by hot, this could imply a location test as early as May. We'll let you know if we hear anything more specific.

Following Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's bomb late last week regarding a possible drop in backwards compatibility for the European PlayStation 3, Japanese gaming site Impress Watch reports today that SCEE's Japanese parent SCEI has at last issued a statement on the matter, providing clarification into exactly what will be going on under the hood.

The current PS3 model that's available for purchase in Asia and North America achieves backwards compatibility through hardware, as each unit includes the "Emotion Engine + Graphics Synthesizer" combination CPU and graphics chip that powers the slim model PS2. The European version of the hardware will not have this chip, SCEI confirmed today. To achieve backwards compatibility, the European model will rely on a combination of hardware and software. Sony is including hardware of some form that will take the place of the Graphics Synthesizer graphics chip. The Emotion Engine CPU functionality will be replicated entirely through software emulation.

Sadly, SCEI did not clarify some of the vague terminology used in the European subsidiary's press release to describe the level of backwards compatibility that can be expected from the new system configuration. SCEI also kept mum on when the new version of the hardware will appear in other territories.

THE battle for supremacy in the console games market kicked off in earnest at the weekend as Sony began a month-long drive to convince consumers it's soon to be released PlayStation 3 is the way of the future.
Sony Computer Entertainment and its retail partners will spend $7 million over the next six weeks, with much of the marketing aimed at giving people hands-on experience with the console.
"Demo, demo, demo" is SCE managing director Michael Ephraim's catchcry.

With rival Microsoft's Xbox 360 trading at half the price of the PS3, and Nintendo's Wii coming in at under $300, Mr Ephraim admitted people needed to trial the PS3 to be convinced the $999.95 price tag was value.

At the weekend retailers fired their first salvos as part of the Sony push, with Harvey Norman retailer Domayne offering $50 vouchers (understood to be underwritten by SCE) to customers if they are unable to get a hands-on demonstration of the machine.

The PS3 launch is also the first stage of the battle for supremacy between High Definition DVD and the Blu Ray formats, with PS3 featuring Blu Ray.

While PS3 consoles will be hot properties when stores around the country open at midnight on March 23, Mr Ephraim knows the marketing battle is to be played out over months, not weeks, when the average family, not tech-savvy early adopters, will need convincing.

The key, he said, was making them see the PS3 as an entertainment centre merging gaming, movies, the internet and messaging through the (preferably high-definition) TV in the living room.

"We are very aware and have punctuated that point -- demo, demo, demo," Mr Ephraim said.

"We have talked to our retail partners. My company have set the agenda of demo-ing. How we go about that is tricky and costly."

Part of the challenge is demonstrating the wireless aspects of the device in a store environment.

"The key retailers -- Harvey Norman, Domayne, JB, Myer -- all these stores that I have just mentioned sell consumer electronics and they see the benefit to selling PS3 properly because they will sell Bravia (TVs), MP3 Players (and) Walkmans.

'Demo is the way to go. It is a strategic direction I have given the organisation as far as marketing dollars, retail co-op dollars." ...

Someone e-mailed me with this link and mentioned the water. All this time, we were focusing on dragons and failed to realize that the water in the game looks absolutely stunning, too! The latest batch of screenshots were pulled out of the Factor-5 oven on the 23rd, apparently, but we're getting around to it now. Lair is due out in May, and from the way things are shaping up, will probably make quite a splash. Did you see that one coming? Hopefully the dragons will be able to take a dive into the briney deep. That would add extra fun to the killing and such... although falling on top of a plethora of soldiers is equally rewarding. ...
