The game is an open world racer not unlike Criterion's Burnout Paradise, with enhanced Autolog support and more. It's out in October and looks quite tasty.Category: News

Bring a buddy
EA's Dead Space 3 will hit PS3 in February 2013. EA's live press conference opened with a co-operative demonstration of the game, which looks much closer to a third-person shooter-oriented than its horror origins. You and a friend can take down giant enemies in new locales including frozen planets and the depths of space.

Nikkei at it again
Update: Nintendo has denied the rumour. Japanese newspaper Nikkei — which has proven right about Nintendo rumours on many occasions — is reporting we'll see a new 3DS model announced tomorrow. The paper claims we'll see a 3DS redesign boasting a 4.3 inch screen, approximately 1.5 times larger than the current machine. Nikkei claims we could see the machine released as early as this summer. Do you think we'll see a big 3DS tomorrow?Rumour: Wii U Price Reveal Coming Tomorrow

Wallets at the ready
Nintendo has said that the Wii U release date and price announcements will come after E3, but Japanese newspaper Nikkei (via Andriasang) believes we could hear as soon as tomorrow. The paper — which has a proven track record in getting this information right — claims the machine will sell for 30,000 Yen. That's around £249, $383 or €306. Nikkei also claims Wii U will play host to plenty of non-gaming content, including a car navigator, digital books and a karaoke service. We're not quite sure what a car navigator means, particularly considering the GamePad needs to be near the console to function, but if it's true we'll hear more soon. What do you make of this potential Wii U price, and do you think we'll hear a price announcement tomorrow?
