No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise Release Date May 31, 2011

As I’ve said in a recent site video, No More Heroes is my favorite Wii property, and for a while that’s the exclusive platform the game series has been delegated to.  Last year, the game was re-released in Japan for the next generation consoles with HD graphics and new options, but the US publisher of No More Heroes had no interest in releasing those games in the US.

This year, it was announced that Konami was going to release an updated HD version of No More Heroes in the US exclusive for the Playstation 3.  The reason it would be exclusive to the PS3 in the US was because they were planning to take full advantage of the Playstation Move controller, which is a pretty close control scheme to the Wiimote.

No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise is coming to the US August 16th, 2011 exclusive to the PS3.  Enjoy this HD trailer!

Uncharted 3 Beta Details Revealed May 31, 2011

Uncharted 3’s Beta is going to be swinging into full gear pretty soon, and the details of it has finally been revealed to the public.

It’s important to note that there are going to be a few ways to get your hands on some Uncharted 3 beta keys. There are two primary ways to get a beta key, if you do or plan to do either of these things you’re totally going to be covered.

Playstation Plus users are going to receive beta codes in their e-mail, and will be able to start playing the beta that way. The other way to get in is to buy the game inFamous 2, which is coming out on June 7th, and you’ll have voucher codes included in the game packaging. According to the FAQ, if you get access to the beta through either of these means, you’ll be able to access the Uncharted 3 Beta on June 28th.

Other people are going to get access to the beta on July 4th, and the beta will end for everyone on July 13th, 2011. The beta will give you access to plenty of customizable options as you level your character up. The maximum level cap is 25, and you’ll have access to several game maps and mods. Just like in Uncharted 2, there will be booster slots, which will grant your characters enhanced abilities as you level up.

Beta players will only have access to a Nathan Drake multiplayer skin on the hero side, or a generic Pirate skin for the villain side, but rest assured that the character skins will be fully customizable with options like hats.

For those of you more interested in what Uncharted 3 multiplayer is going to be like, please enjoy these Uncharted 3 MP videos, courtesy of Playstation.Blog.

The first video here is an overview trailer of what the action in Uncharted 3’s MP will look like, and shows plenty of gameplay.

This next video is more of an in-depth overview of what Uncharted 3 multiplayer is going to be like, and includes gameplay and interviews with Naughty Dog employees. For those of you interested in what kind of customization is possible or what multiplayer modes you have to look forward to, I recommend watching this.

See you in the beta, guys.
