Kaz Hirai video interview! No giant crabs, no massive damage...

Kikizo had the rare opportunity to conduct a video interview with Kaz Hirai, one of the biggest of men at Sony. It’s a fairly lengthy one, so we’ll give you a teaser of what to expect.

Darwinia and Uplink coming to the PS3?

If you’ve played either Uplink or Darwinia, then you’re familiar with, and more than likely love, UK-based developer Introversion. It seems the indie studio has been in talks recently with both Microsoft and Sony to bring its content to each respective company’s online arena.

TGS videos attack! Pick your poison... or wine... whichever

A gameplay video of Coded Arms Assault is now available for your viewing pleasure. It looks all right. It doesn’t seem like too much of a separation from standard FPS titles, but it’s worth a look if you’re an FPS junkie. There’s also a gorgeous Ridge Racer 7 gameply video. It looks better than all right. Mostly awesome. Just look at that gorgeous car go around that gorgeous track… and rear-end that other car. It’s pretty sweet. Also, a Ninja Gaiden Sigma trailer is up and running. If you guys were right, those who’ve played Ninja Gaiden Black won’t see too much new here. But then again, maybe so. Let us know. Here’s a gameplay video of Lair also. What can we say? Dragons, flying, destruction… it’s something special, to be sure. Lastly, there’s a gameplay video of Devil May Cry 4. Besides the fact the person playing it has no idea what he’s doing (sorry, but it’s true, unless the controls have changed completely), the game looks astoundingly good. Bias? Sure. But it does. If you mention the cape/sword clipping, that’s true, but that in no way should detract from your enjoyment of the game. Anyway, we’ll keep you informed of other game videos and other stuff as we get our news from the Joystiq staff that had the honor of being there.

Virtua Fighter 5 footage: 'nuff said

The verdict is in and the decision isunanimous: Virtua Fighter 5 looks like one hell of fun game. It doesn’t take a critic to figure that one out.Just download the video footage and see for yourself! Keep in mind this is actually from the arcade version, butPS3-owners-to-be will see it ported to the Sony console later on down the road. Limber up your opposables, it’ll behere before you know it.

Heavenly Sword screens and vid... Sony owns TGS!

Maybe that last phrase was unnecessary, but it doesn’t matter. There has been so much eyebrow-raising at Sony’s stuff at the Tokyo Game Show that all the bad news prior seems to be fading into, er, oblivion. Anyway, Heavenly Sword has a few high-res screens up here, and also a video to download. Just navigate around the question marks and the video’s under the blue question marks next to the “mpg”. If that doesn’t work, you can always look for another video… there’s a few over at IGN. It’s more arena brawling, but it doesn’t matter when the game looks this fun. November is so far away… not that this is a launch title, but even so, we want our PS3. We knew the Tokyo Game Show would change many people’s minds! Hooray!

Physics to die for: Ageia turns up the heat!

Ageia knows a thing or two about physics.Since 2002, they’ve been doing things with it that would make your head spin. Thanks to the PhysX engine, PS3 ownerscan look upon this drool-inducing video with high expectations, because these very goods will be coming to us inNovember. The trailer you can download is for CellFactor, which is a PC game powered by the same physicsengine that the PlayStation 3 will be taking advantage of. It really is amazing. Not just in terms of whatyou’d expect from a normal engine (because this is anything but normal), but the gameplay itself utilizes it like noother. Just take a look at those gravity grenades! Ragdoll physics and vehicular manipulation are, of course,represented in astonishing quality. Check it out: the download weighs in at about 150 MB. PS3 fans haveanother reason to hold off on getting a life just yet.
