Hideo Kojima will sneak into the 2009 Game Developers Conference this year and get his keynote on, according to Gamasutra. It’ll be the designer’s first presentation at the event, with his debut titled “Solid Game Design: Making the ‘Impossible’ Possible.”
GDC Event Director Meggan Scavio notes that the group has asked Kojima to keynote almost every year “for as long as [she] can remember.” She’s curious to see how the “revered and elusive” creator will inspire attendees. The presentation is scheduled for an hour, but given the designer’s inability to edit, don’t be surprised if it lasts 8 hours, with two 90-minute cutscenes and a couple of codec conversations included.

Guerrilla dev answers some questions on the official Killzone forums.
One gamer asked for the controller lag issue and Mother666 had this to say:
´´This is something I am looking into at present. Will let folks know soon enough, but we think it is a demo-only related issue.”
According to GamerDeals, Killzone 2 has topped GameFly’s “Most Queued” list, making it the most popular title on the online rental service. This moment is marked also by the fact that this is the first time a PS3 title has held the top spot. The first-party shooter from Guerilla Games has beaten out multiplatform games like Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5. For the full top-ten list, be sure to have a look past the break.
Now, there’s one last inkling left on our minds. Seeing as Killzone 2 is the most sought after rental, we wonder if that means there’s little interest in buying the game? It’ll be interesting to see what goes down when the game releases worldwide later this month.

Good news for WaW fans, bad news for our planet’s reserves of WWII locations that haven’t yet been turned into video game levels, a resource that’s running cataclysmically low. Where’s Al Gore when you really need him?

We’ve got some big plans for PlayStation Home coming up, some of which may involve ninjas and street fighters. We thought that would grab your attention. It did for us at SCEA.
And as we continue to expand upon existing content with PlayStation Home spaces, we’ve introduced a leaderboard for the Red Bull Air Race in the Red Bull space. We recently made the most of these new leaderboards with a contest to see who could get the highest scores. Shopaholics rejoice too, you’ll find some cool new virtual items at the mall, including ninja and pirate costumes.
As you may have heard, Capcom is set to expand its blockbuster franchises globally with Street Fighter and Resident Evil within PlayStation Home. Resident Evil 5 fans can launch straight from PlayStation Home into the game. And for the Street Fighter fans, Capcom is bringing Street Fighter IV costumes and additional themed content to PlayStation Home, much of which will be unlocked through in-game actions.
I know that is a lot to digest, but that’s not all … in the next few months, gamers will find even more clothing, furniture and events taking place throughout PlayStation Home, including the launch of the Warhawk space (complete with game launching), SOCOM space, and the recently announced Gamer’s Lounge. This will be another hang-out space for the community to mix and mingle, just like you would at a real lounge. We will also hold special events here such as developer talks and parties. Along with the spaces, you can bet you’ll find even more impromptu promotions and giveaways taking place.
And as for the ninjas …. On February 12th, sweet ninja outfits will be available for purchase at the Mall to dress your PlayStation Home avatar up in. Yeah, ninja outfits! And to celebrate their arrival, we’re holding a contest: On February 13th, we’ll be holding a contest event called “I Love Ninjas.” The first instance of the brand-new community-named Home hang-out space, the Gamer’s Lounge, to be completely filled with people in ninja costumes (or a reasonable facsimile using all-black clothing items in your inventory) that we see will win vouchers for SOCOM and Warhawk to celebrate the upcoming spaces.
