The collection has been remastered to feature 720p HD visuals, stereoscopic 3D compatibility, and will also feature over a hundred trophies and three platinum trophies.

All on one Blu-ray of course…

The Playstation Blog has a sneak peek on some of the trophies you will be spending your time trying to collect.

“We won’t be making any more Resistances,” It doesn’t get any clearer than that.

Ted Price released a video message to Resistance fans explaining why Insomniac is walking away from the franchise, and thanking the fans for their support.

Sometimes you do have to walk away from something you created in order to move on to the next success.

Insomniac’s mulitplatform title Overstrike is definitely on my radar.

Since launch, DCUO has seen:

• More than 3.5 million Heroes, more than 2 million Villains
• More than 1.8 million registered players on PC, and more than 2.3 million registered players on PS3
• 3.6 million days of playtime total by all players in-game
• More than 1,200 new NPC characters added since launch
• More than 200 new quests added since launch
• More than 2,500 new items added since launch
• More than 15 new zones added since launch
• More than 1,800 new encounters since launch

Going free-to-play definitely helped gamers make their choice on playing or not, and believe me they are spending a lot of time taking advantage on what DCUO has to offer.

SOE is celebrating the one year anniversary of DCUO by with a gift. Players will be receiving a cape with a number “1” on the back on January 11. Your character must exist on that date, but you don’t have to log in to receive it.

DCUO also introduced a Research and Development system in Game Update: 8 which allow both heroes and villains to create powerful items.

I honestly like this update because it makes exploring more fun, and now you are rewarded for your efforts.

With nearing a half million sold, the Vita isn’t performing as bad as you may think. Remember, Japan’s economy has seen better days.

The Playstation Vita will be launched in North America on February 22, 2012, and I believe that Sony picked a great release window for a couple of reasons.

Taxpayers who filed early should be receiving their checks around the time the Vita launches, which means extra money to grab one. Also, gamers who get paid every other Friday will be happy to know there will be three paydays in March.

Anyone interested in buying a Vita should have more cash to play around with once it releases in the States. However, the real question is will it be spent on the handheld or not.

The first image is of a photo realistic view of foliage from either a forest or jungle. This could be a teaser of the graphical quality and general setting of the exclusive, showing us that The Last of Us will feature amazing visuals.

Hopefully at least.

The second image is the front page of a newspaper in a deteriorated newspaper dispenser showing a message from the president. The quote box over the president’s picture reads:

“Our union remains strong… The military is mounting large guns and securing additional quarantine zones. This is our turning point. We can not and will not become the last of us. Mankind will prevail.” 

The ant trailer has also been extended to include some very interesting sounds.

A very popular and likely theory about the plot of The Last of Us centers around a fungus called Cordyceps which infects insects like ants and replaces their tissue, and even affects the host’s behavior.

The first trailer which depicts scenes of civil unrest and quarantine zones gives off a post-apocalyptic vibe and has me thinking the game will take place either during the end of days, or will have the player or players (please be co-op) dealing with the aftermath.

My theory is that either man or nature itself mutated the Cordyceps virus, and humans are now being infected with a virus that turns us into hideous monsters.

I said monsters…not zombies.

The Last of Us being a zombie title is another popular theory being thrown around by commenter’s, but I don’t think that Sony would go through all this trouble just to be enigmatic about a zombie game. I think something more original is being planned here, actually since 2006.

I could be wrong but like the title suggests, but I am not jumping to a zombie conclusion.

The website is supposedly the home for a new PS3 exclusive called “The Last of Us” which will be making a guest appearance at the Spike Video Game Awards next week.

There are two videos on the site; the first shows signs of the end of days as the world is on the brink of collapse.

The next video is very short and shows an ant dying from a fungus known as Cordyceps. Look very closely at the end as something is moving in the background.

At the bottom of the website is the date 12-07-11, so hopefully we will be getting more insight on this new game.

DC Universe Online has seen great success with going free-to-play, and paying $14.99 a month gets you access to the game’s DLC packs.

There’s a lot to cover in this update, so check out the press release below for more details.

San Diego – November 17, 2011 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) will soon launch its second Downloadable Content (DLC) pack for DC Universe Online with the worldwide release of Lightning Strikes, later this year. Launching simultaneously on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC, Lightning Strikes introduces Electricity Powers – the game’s eighth power set – and a new adventure starring the iconic speedster The Flash.

“In this DLC pack, fans have the opportunity to immerse themselves in another great character and action-packed story from the DC Universe,” said Jens Andersen, Creative Director for DC Universe Online. “With exciting gameplay, a new power set and new locations to share with your friends, we packed a whole new kind of fun into this DLC pack and are eager for our players to dive into another legendary adventure.”

In addition to the new Electricity Power set, DC Universe Online players will also be able to interact with The Flash-themed characters and content with new maps and features:

Central City – An all-new map that offers players a more open world experience that provides on-going gameplay, with solo and group missions.

The Flash Museum Duo – Players can now experience the Central City of today and tomorrow. In The Flash Museum Duo, players can travel back in time to the very moment when Barry Allen became The Flash and battle foes inside the Central City Police Station!

Electricity Powers – Players now have the opportunity to get the new Electricity Power set for current and new characters. The new Electricity Power set allows players to leverage the lightning power of electricity and use new types of attacks in combat. Electricity Powers include the Tesla Ball, which creates a floating ball of electricity that zaps nearby enemies; the Shockwave, which shoots streams of electric bolts at enemies; and Ionic Drain, which drains energy from the environment to replenish a player’s health while simultaneously damaging surrounding enemies.

New Gear – Players can earn all-new gear sets including the new Zoom-inspired gear set for villains, and the new Black Lightning-inspired gear set for heroes.

New Characters – Lightning Strikes brings players new iconic DC Universe characters including Livewire, Black Lightning, The Top, The Trickster, Static and more. New characters – such as Livewire – will be featured as new “Inspired By” options for players who can choose to create a new character inspired by some of DC Universe’s legendary characters. Additional new characters – such as Black Lighting – serve as a bounty mission that players can fight if they choose to be a villain.

Lightning Strikes offers players a new story-driven adventure that offers up even more of the intense and fast-paced combat that distinguishes DC Universe Online, a game focused on superhero combat set in locations where gamers can showcase over-the-top powers in epic battles. The Flash adds another legendary superhero for players to battle against or alongside on their journey to becoming the next legend.

DC Universe Online’s Lightning Strikes DLC pack will be accessible for free for all of the game’s Legendary players and available for purchase for $9.99 USD for all Free and Premium players from the PlayStation® Network Store, through the in-game Marketplace and on the PC from the DCUniverseOnline.com website.

Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors graced the Playstation console with it’s presence in 1996. It is the second game in the series and introduced characters Donovan Baine and Hsien-Ko, plus chain combos the ability to stock your special gauge.

The release of Night Warriors would have been more fitting for Halloween, but I’m not complaining.

The distinctive textures and mods for all the guns in the multiplayer, their functions, and how to unlock them are all detailed in the blog posts below.

Part 1: Pistols – Short range weapons for up-close-and-personal gunplay.

Part 2: Long Guns – These weapons are for the players who prefer long-distance combat and sniping.

Enjoy, and happy hunting!

I bought the game when it released originally, and was a paid subscriber for a few months. The game originally had a pretty sizeable community and now those numbers have risen to new heights as Sony tries to keep up with the increasing amount of players.

Looks like going free-to-play was the best thing SOE could have done for DC Universe Online.
