PS3 NewsWire – 15th January

PS3 News was surprisingly low yesterday, but today we have something worthwhile. The news today includes, PS3 still in “Early Adopters phrase”, PSN’s 17 million users explained, Uncharted 2’s AI will be smarter and rumour over next GTA game.

PS3 still in early Adopters phrase

Gamasutra did an interview Sony’s John Koller about the PS2 and at one point stated that the PS3 is still in the early adopters phrase, something it should be out of now since the console launched 2 years ago. In other words, they have no idea about their demographic.

PSN Statistics Explained

Apparently the 17 Million users on the PSN (which Sony released days after Mircosoft revealed similar numbers) are all the users registered on the PS3, PSP and the official forum. While not as impressive, 17 million is a damn good number.

Uncharted 2’s AI is smarter

The stealth elements in the game has caused Naughty Dog to create more lifelike enemies. The article explains the obvious traits of stealth gameplay. Though the AI will make assumptions based on the last know location of Drake and will have the ablity to climb, jump gaps and jump down from ledges. All the things you would expect the AI to do anyway.

Rumour – Rockstar to release next game at the end of the year

According to Game Informer the next GTA titles (not DLC) will be released at the end of the year. While not 100% confirmed, it wouldn’t surprise me since Vice City came out a year after GTA3 was released. We’ll keep you posted to see if the rumour becomes fact.
