Not even Silent Hill is afraid of the Wii’s casual audience. Speaking to Joystiq during E3 2009, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories producer Tomm Hulett described the game as being very much a true franchise entry (and we can attest to that!), but one that would enjoy the benefits of a wider audience and an intuitive control system on the Wii. “For the casual gamer, we say this like it’s strange, but casual gamers go to horror movies,” he explained. “There’s a reason that we all started playing survival horror — it was new and different and, ‘Oh, it’s like scary movie that I play.’” According to Hulett the game’s control system, which thrusts the Wiimote into the role of a flashlight, is intuitive enough to accomodate … your mom. “I’ve had my mom try it out and she only plays Animal Crossing, but she can walk around as Harry Mason and run from creatures. It’s really easy to pick up and play

click to enlarge Sony had a spot in its press-only booth area reserved for showing off the various accessories that will be available for PSP Go when it hits US shelves on October 1 . There were cases, wrist straps, Sony-branded screen protectors … and wait, what was that? Since the handheld doesn’t have a standard mini USB port like the PSP-3000, we’ll have to buy all new accessories? Sad, but true. The PSP Go has a new multifunction port on its base ( check out the video! ) that is used for everything from data transfer to charging to video output.

Sony’s John Koller, director of hardware marketing, stated in a recent interview that the company is considering a UMD game trade-in program for PSP Go customers. Speaking with Gizmodo , Koller stated the company plans to unveil a “good will program,” allowing customers to link digital copies of their games to their Go. Koller stated that in the past the company has seen a 20-25 percent “trade-up factor” among PSP owners. The company is apparently still in the “planning stages,” but we contacted Sony to find out if there were any further details or timetable. Original source: www.joystiq.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru

We’ve confirmed that most of Intel’s Core i7 range will go to be replaced by Lynnfield (above). COMPUTEX 2009: Despite telling us face to face yesterday that its Core i7 920 and 950 CPU’s will be around for a little while yet, bit-tech has exclusively seen roadmaps and been given multiple confirmations that every-single-one of the X58 motherboard manufacturers is expecting: 920, 940, 950 and 965 are will be end-of-life by early next year. Only the extortionately expensive 975 and the future 6-core LGA1366 CPUs will exist on this socket, with Lynnfield engulfing the entire middle field (we’re hesitant to use the word “mainstream” considering the price). LGA1366 and X58 motherboards will be thinned out in the next refresh in Q3/4 with the launch of Lynnfield on Sept. 1st, although no one had an exact date for the phasing out of these CPU products. Intel says one thing then does another?
