    More on the UMD Movie cutback news, this time from Gamesindustry

    A Sony spokesperson has told GamesIndustry.biz that UMD movie titles are still selling well - despite reports that home entertainment companies are disappointed with the format's performance so far.

    According to Hollywood trade paper Variety, UMD sales figures are falling well below expectations - leading Sony Pictures, Paramount and Warner Bros. to rethink their planned release schedules.

    Variety claims that Sony is planning to reduce the number of new releases it puts on the shelves, opting instead to concentrate on expanding the library of comedy content available with Monty Python films and Not Another Teen Movie. Apparently comedy is the most popular genre amongst PSP owners - Napoleon Dynamite has proved to be the best-selling UMD release so far.

    Paramount has seen Chappelle's Show and Beavis & Butthead sell well, but the company does not plan to release any more titles in the next few months. A spokesperson said that Paramount will consider releasing "select films" on UMD in the future.

    Warner Home Video has gone even further, cancelling the release of six PSP titles and stating that sales so far have been disappointing.

    "We are re-evaluating our position on any future releases at this time," Warner executive Jeff Baker told Variety.

    "We're looking at this on a case-by-case basis. We're disappointed with consumer demand at this time."

    Retailers are also said to be less than happy with the performance of the UMD format, with Virgin buyer Chris Anstey describing demand for the titles as "modest."

    "We have been encouraged by the results of a couple successful campaigns that we've featured to help promote them, but the overall impact of the format has still been nominal," he said.

    However, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, a spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment said: "UMD movie sales are still successful and we are looking at new ways to cross-promote future titles for 2006."

    The Variety article also claims that "SPHE and sister unit Sony Computer Electronics America, which sells the PSP, are touting a new adapter that would allow a user to watch a PSP pic on a TV." Sony Pictures' Ben Feingold is quoted as saying: "It would be a huge boost to [PSP movies] if we can arrange for the disc to play on TV players."

    The Sony spokesperson declined to comment, stating only: "I have no official confirmation on such an adapter." ...

    News from Lik Sang

    If you quickly dismiss SEGA's last console as having seen better days, think again: the Dreamcast is blessed with at least two new quality releases this year, both splendid genre representatives that bring pure Arcade shooter feeling into gamers' homes. Milestone's Radilgy, which we have received today, comes dressed in full 2D cel-shaded glory, sporting a unique look for a title like this. It's in-your-face, non-stop action that will keep you in front of your screen for a long while to come, always striving to top your own scores (and above all, surviving on your given credits to be able to see the next gorgeous level). Then, in about a month, developer G.Rev will release their helicopter action shooter Under Defeat, which offers more realistic visuals and from footage and shots seen so far, reminds us of Psikyo's Zero Gunner 2, in more than one very welcomed way. Pilot your machine through heavens chock-full with projectiles and explosions, where the saying "Ah, I'll have just one more go!", seems to be a mantra that won't keep hardcore enthusiasts and fans of the genre from playing away another whole night.

    After receiving the first early batch of Radilgy on Tuesday, we are now waiting for the second delivery to come in tomorrow morning. The balance of preorders will be dispatched as soon as possible and new purchases are welcome for only US$ 59.90. As mentioned, Under Defeat will be released in a few weeks from now, on March 23rd (just US$ 64.90 shipped!). As with all import games, both titles ship free worldwide!

    Man, you've got to love Sony. They've got people in such a tizzy over the PlayStation 3 that not showing it off at the Taipei Game Show and reaffirming their some-time-in-2006 launch date is news. But hey, inquiring minds, right? So at the TGS, Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment Asia Tetsuhiko Yasuda stated that there's still no committed launch date or price for the console, and that they want to be "completely prepared" at launch, unlike the Xbox 360 crew (snap!). And, no, Sony wasn't showing off any playable units -- what're you, crazy? -- and merely had three mockups and the usual slew of videos. Oh Sony, you wonder why we doubt you? Throw us a bone! ...

    Big news article from Lik Sang

    Ever expanding our range of European games releases for PSP, we couldn't be happier than to offer you the latest in terms of quality roleplaying experience on the go you can yourself treat to at the moment: today we received two highlights of the genre, Namco's Tales of Eternia and Breath of Fire III, developed by Capcom. Both games came to stock last week, and preorders have already all been taken care of. The initial batch of Tales of Eternia has run out in no time, and we are currently in the process of re-supplying. The next delivery is expected in our warehouse by early next week and we recommend placing your purchase in the line quickly to guarantee one of them is yours. Both titles are eligible for our Free Shipping Worldwide promotion. Below, we'll take a closer look at what makes these titles tick and why we strongly believe you shouldn't miss playing them.

    Basically a stellar port of the original PlayStation version from a couple of years back, Tales of Eternia invites you to diverse explorable environments where an epic adventure unfolds, with multi-level 3D levels boasting plenty of color and texturing. Story-wise, there are three main characters Reid Hershel, Farrah Oersted and Meredy, a girl that seems to hold more than just a few secrets. Embarking on a journey to unravel the mysteries of their world's fate, they seek to collect a set of spiritual beings in the process to prevent planets Celestia and Inferia from colliding. Once more, Namco delivers an authentic real-time action RPG with an engaging storyline, countless mini games (which will earn your heroes unique features) and over 60 hours of gameplay. As the sea of clouds between planets is breached by the arrival of Meredy's spaceship, Eternia is again given the gift of hope...



    Tales of Eternia takes place within two massive worlds. Control one character out of a party of four through gorgeous surroundings, designed to transport the dense atmosphere, aided also by the great soundtrack here. Namco included a "Tales of" Linear Motion Battle System, which is built around different striking techniques, real-time combos and spells and takes place in a 2D side-scrolling environment. Customizing of characters? Sure was implemented: there are hundreds of enchanted weapons and powerful items to boost your in-game alter ego and you can also summon mighty powers while in combat. Another great thing about this title are the almost non-existent load times, guaranteeing speedy menu changes and gameplay.

    Knowing your enemy and relying on combo attacks from all sides, while raising your defense shield when needed is what will get you through challenging battle encounters. Fights feature massive, screen-filling transparency effects and let the action appear all the more intense and dramatic. Tales of Eternia sure is an ambitious Namco effort and will provide you with a captivating gaming experience for a long while to come.

    Then, without further ado on to the next RPG for Sony PSP we have for you today:



    A small boy on the run and a dragon reborn in flames... Capcom's Breath of Fire line counts as one of the most beloved RPGs not only in Japan, but also in western regions. A straight port from the 1997 PlayStation title, Breath of Fire III is widely accepted as the best entry in the series. Graphically enhanced to take advantage of the PSP's screen resolution, the game follows the fate of Ryu as he embarks on an epic quest to discover his ancestry and understand the dragon power that has awoken inside of him. Being the last of an extinct race with a fiery past, Ryu is also an outcast of society, representing a dormant dragon that was once awakened by miners and turned into an innocent child. A youngster destined to regain his powers...

    It's the first time the third instalment of the series is playable on a handheld, and boy has Capcom done a great job with moving this title over to the PSP! If one dragon might even be too much to handle for some adventurers, Breath of Fire III throws an incredible 987 possible dragon transformations at you, in order to mould your hero uniquely each time you play. The PSP version also includes a bonus Fishing mode at 18 different locations in the game world. Thanks to the Online Game Sharing function, Breath of Fire III owners can also send this fishing game to their friends to enjoy even if they do not have a copy of the game. Neat, share the love of wielding a fishing pole!

    Tactical combat includes additional attacks triggered by moving quickly, unleashing flaming retribution on enemies. Breath of Fire III on PSP is classic 2D roleplaying at its best. Visually still a masterpiece of this particular genre, the game universe appears colorful, coherently designed and perhaps most important, believable within its fantasy narrative. Definitely worth to consider if you are looking for some outstanding RPG action on the go. Dragons? Check. Heroes? Check. What more could your ...
