Although the game has been released for the pc,it is still far from perfect.The Playstation 3 FFXIV that should be released in March 2011 has been delayed as the trial period of PC version is extended.

"We deeply regret that the game has yet to achieve the level of enjoyability that Final Fantasy fans have come to expect from the franchise," said Square President and CEO Yoichi Wada.

Wada told that the Final Fantasy XIV team is being reconstructed as Square looks to renew the game, which in turn will affect the PlayStation 3 release.

"It is not our wish to release a simple conversion of the Windows version in its current state, but rather an update that includes all the improvements we have planned," he added, "For that reason, we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of the PlayStation 3 version beyond the originally announced date of March 2011."

UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception continues to evolve all of the core principles we laid out for the UNCHARTED franchise, most important of which is creating an unmatched and extremely compelling interactive cinematic experience. In addition to having a compelling story and authentic characters that all of our fans can relate to as key facets to creating this type of experience, we push ourselves and the capability of the PlayStation hardware through constantly refined gameplay mechanics and technology innovation. Our dedication to creating the best interactive cinematic experience can be seen in our last two games – UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune and UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves. We’re especially honored and humbled that both titles have been so successful, selling nearly 8 million units combined and earning more industry awards and accolades than we can keep track of. We’ve set the bar very high for us to outdo the past successes of our previous UNCHARTED games. We’re looking forward to taking on this challenge to top ourselves and create a truly unforgettable interactive cinematic experience that everyone can enjoy.

So, if you’re wondering what UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception has in store for you, we wanted to share some early details.

UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception features the return of famed fortune hunter Nathan Drake and follows him through a gripping, action-packed storyline that will take you all over the world. In his search for the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands,” Nathan Drake and longtime friend and mentor Victor Sullivan set off on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert. But when terrible secrets of this lost city are uncovered, their journey becomes a desperate bid for survival that will force Drake to confront his deepest fears.

Throughout UNCHARTED 3, you’ll be taken to spectacular new locations around the globe that will showcase all of the work we’ve taken on to take acclaimed physics, particle and visual effects to a new level.

Competitive and co-op multiplayer will return as a key ingredient to the UNCHARTED 3 package, where all of the new features we have planned will combine with our signature single-player cinematic gameplay to create a unique action-adventure multiplayer experience that can only be found in the UNCHARTED universe.

Tomb Raider Reboot

2010-12-07T21:01:00.003+08:00

Lara Croft isn't the same anymore.Crystal Dynamics has rebooted the whole franchise so there are no "real" Lara this time.This game is all about survivor,Lara is stranded on a mysterious island where you have to eat and drinks to survive(anyone remember Snake Eater?).There are no target lock too in this game but there are free aim system that enables player to freely shoots the enemy.

Cystal Dynamics doesnt talk about the weapons that she will use but a concept art show that bow,shotgun and pistol."It was important in the game to not only deliver the character arc of Lara Croft emotionally, but to deliver it in gameplay as well so the player gets to grow into a hardened survivor," says Noah Hughes, an experienced director .

"I think that the major difference between this game and the old is the concept of smoke and mirrors," says Darrell Gallagher, the studio head at Crystal Dynamics. "There was an illusion of freedom because of streaming and loading that would pop you out in a different location, but this is absolutely real. You can literally go any direction that you see and carve your own way to the finish line instead of being guide",he added.

Hope this reboot will turn out good as the fans expected.

p/s:Game reboot has been common eh?
