Who’s excited for E3 next week? That’s right, all of us. Here’s some news to tide you over until the crush of info that will be E3 on June 15-17:
- (Siliconera) Square-Enix’s iPhone and iPod touch game Space Invaders Infinity Gene is officially coming to the XBLA and PSN, and here’s a video. This game is fantastic – I love it even more on my iPad; the graphics are nice enough to not look distorted even when blown up to 2x – and I can’t wait to see it brought home.
- (Eorzeapedia) Speaking of Square-Enix, here’s a video of the Final Fantasy XIV character creator, with a translator and a cheesy Mission Impossible theme. I bring this up because Eorzeapedia reports that while Square-Enix might not be holding a press conference, apparently FFXIV will be among the games shown at the conference. They have a virtual E3 booth here.
- (Game Informer) Speaking of E3, Sony confirmed the PS4 viral videos are fake. Now you know.
- (Valve) Welcome, Mac users, to the Team Fortress team. Good to have you, soldier. There was also a rumor that the Engineer update would go live with the TF2 for Mac release, but this is so far unsubstantiated.
- (Joystiq) And lastly, much to my disappointment, the new instrument in Rock Band 3 is not a keytar. It seems it’s a keyboard, USA Today revealed. Joystiq also talks a little about the "Pro Mode," designed to actually teach you how to play a real instrument, and revealed some of the songlist. "Portions for Foxes?" "Bohemian Rhapsody?" Stop making me want to buy Rock Band 3.
