The Xbox 360 cult classic Deadly Premonition will be coming to PlayStation 3. The unique and bizarre game will have a couple of changes though. In an interview with Joystiq Toybox Games founder Yasuhiro Wada shared some general details on what to expect. The game is going to be remastered for the PS3 and new in-game experiences will also be added to the original game. This new version of the game will also feature PlayStation Move support. PlayStation Move may be able to relieve the game of any awkward controls described by many critics.
Yasuhiro Wada mentioned that more details on Deadly Premonition for PS3 will surface at E3 2012.
EA recently announced that a new Medal Of Honor title was on its way. No solid details on the new FPS game were given during the announcement until this point. Now we have a announcement trailer and a release date to get us excited for Medal Of Honor: Warfighter.
In the trailer (shown below), we see Tier 1 operatives navigating war zones while a Middle Eastern sounding voice describes the deadliness of Tier 1. The few glimpses of gameplay shown let us know that gamers will most likely guide a Tier 1 operative through subtle sneaking missions as well as extreme gunfights. The end of the trailer reveals that Medal of Honor: Warfighter will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on October 23, 2012.
Just like with the Medal Of Honor title in 2010, people who pre-order Medal Of Honor: Warfighter will be upgraded to the Limited Edition of the game for free.
