Sony's GAMERS DAY event is over. While everyone is busy pining over the HALO beta, I'm here giving you juicy news. Enjoy!

PLAYSTATION NETWORK INFO:

Dave Jaffe will be setting up his own studio which aims completely at making games for the PlayStation Network.

Factor5 and Sony online entertainment are working together on an MMO. The MMO is titled Relay and look to be a western **** sci-fi world. A trailer of 15 second trailer was shown and that's about it.

A new Syphon filter is coming soon to the PSN. The game will be episodic in nature. It will come to Blu-ray as well but with a few of the initial chapters. The game will be entirely designed for downloadable content. With new maps, levels and weapons. Only on the PSN.

Stardust HD and nucleus were shown, two games which seem to similar in vein to Blast Factor.

Vegas strip: Poker Edition was shown.

A new topdown arcade shooter was shown. The game has no title as of yet but has a fell of Capcom's ****c 1942.

A few more arcade shooters were shown. Metal Slug, Cars and the Xbox live arcade game heavy Weapons are all set to come to the PSN.

Loco Roco were not present

Home Beta was workable and shown. But nothing new on HOME.

PS3

Naughty Dog's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune it was shown according to many there it was the game of the show, looking fantastic and playing like a dream.

Lair will release in august and a demo will be on the network in June.

Eye or Judgement was shown. Works perfectly with the new PlayStation Eye, which was also present.

Insomniacs Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools or Destruction was shown. The game performed terribly and there were serious problems with the framerate. These were under the 30 frames per second.

Ninja Theory's Heavenly Sword was also shown and from accounts was looking very rough, even at this stage in time which is 90% done. Many were left unimpressed.

Sony worldwide has 40 games in development. Some of these games will be later presented this year at E3.

Eight Days will now be episodic. Each day a separate episode. The game will release on blu-ray if a success but all depends on how it does on the network.

The development of Wipeout is going very well and will be running at 60 frames per second. It's slated for a 2008 release.

Firmware:

By the end of this week the new new firmware will be up for download. This firmware makes it possible to put up your own wallpapers, music to listen while playing games and DVD's and PS2-games will be upscaled.

Here it is. This is great and its from DEEKO!

i don't think the game is even quite in Alpha yet, so no worries.  In time all things come to pass.....like crappy framerates. (ubisofts ports not included)
