News 5.1 Surround Sound Coming To PlayStation 3 Version Of Enslaved In A Patch
We loved Ninja Theory's Enslaved a ton, but bizarrely the game shipped without 5
1 surround sound support on the PlayStation 3. Joystiq reports that the issue is soon to be fixed, so anyone holding out on picking up a copy of Enslaved due to the less than optimal sound conditions might want to reconsider now. "[The update] will be ready around...

News Ruh-Roh: Ninja Theory Confirms That Devil May Cry Reboot Will Run On The Unreal Engine
We're putting on our flame shields just in case
Why? Because Ninja Theory's just confirmed that their divisive Devil May Cry reboot, DmC, will run on the Unreal Engine.

News Ninja Theory Detail The Background Behind Enslaved
And it all started with Ninja Theory's gaffer, Tameem Antoniades, reading a book
Years of development later - and the input of none other than Andy Serkis and Alex Garland - Enslaved's now a video game. A pretty bloody good one from what we've played too. This background videos probably interesting if you loved the demo, like we did.
News At One Point There Was Going To Be A CGI Enslaved Movie

News TGS 10: To Be Fair, The DmC Trailer Is Pretty Awesome
For as much backlash is being thrown at Ninja Theory and Capcom right now, the reality of the new Devil May Cry trailer is that it's actually quite good
Sure, the Dante character model looks a bit awkward. But this appears to be an origins story; hence the rebellious, younger looking character. We reckon it's too early to be writing DmC off. Remain...
News TGS 10: Let's Take A Look At This New Devil May Cry Game, Then
Dante's got dark hair

News Europe's Enslaved Collector's Edition Is By-The-Numbers
Enslaved's collector's edition is fairly standard-fare stuff: you get a copy of the game, an artbook and the soundtrack
But that middle offering - the artbook - carries a little bit more weight when the source material is as pretty as Enslaved. We're stoked about the game — it honestly looks fantastic. We could have settled for an action figure of...

News Ninja Theory: Story Is More Important Than Gameplay
We love a good video game story
Story-driven single-player titles are our favourites. But as we proved this afternoon with our Getaway feature, sometimes poor gameplay can kill a good story dead.

News Enslaved's Confirmed For An October 8th Launch

Thanks to Eurogamer, we've now got that. Enslaved's hitting UK store shelves on October 8th. No official word on a US launch yet, but...

We're getting a bit bored of Ninja Theory evangelising the multiplatform game
Look guys, we get it, your company is out to make money and you got totally burned releasing an exclusive in the early days of the PlayStation 3. That's fine. We don't blame you, studio boss Tameem Antoniades, for answering CVG's question in this instance, presumably...

Ninja Theory's boss man Tameem Antoniades has told CVG that 3D effects in current gen consoles are limiting
The leader of the team responsible for Heavenly Sword reckons framerates are the culprit. The problem is that to do 3D properly you need to render 60 frames per second, per eye. And at least a 720p resolution [per eye]. So in essence...
