Gabe Newell Gets Cozy with Sony

So here’s one surprise we didn’t see coming. As you know by now, Gabe Newell’s been pretty outspoken when speaking about the PlayStation 3, so it shocked us when he took the stage at Sony’s E3 briefing to revise his views on the company’s home console:

I’ve been pretty outspoken in my comments about the current generation of game consoles. So I’d really like to thank everyone at Sony for their gracious hospitality and for not repeatedly punching me in the face.

Praising the open nature of Sony’s console, he then went on to announce Portal 2 with Steamworks support for the PlayStation 3, stating it would be the best version on ANY console – take THAT Microsoft! Portal 2′s official trailer followed the announcement, check out the trailer here.

Crytek UK Files TimeSplitters Trademark

Crytek UK, formerly known as Free Radical (the studio behind the popular TimeSplitters franchise), have filed a patent for *drumroll*… TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. Not what you expected huh? Not to worry, this isn’t a bad thing – let me explain.
As much as I and every other monkey lover would have loved to see the follow-up filed instead, it’s good to know the team still have TimeSplitters on the brain.

A remake would definitely build interest for a possible sequel, or even a downloadable re-release. Some have even suggested TimeSplitters might be making its long-awaited debut onto the PC. Heck, whatever it is I’ll take two of whatever they’re selling! Stay tuned for more info.
