OPM UK rumors: Crysis for PS3, BioShock 2 multiplayer, PS3 2.5 FW screen-grab, more

The rumor that Crysis will get ported to the PlayStation 3 is so old that I’m beginning to think it’s actually true. The latest Official PlayStation Magazine UK has an all new batch of rumors we can chew on, and if there was any justice in the world, they’re all true. Check ’em out after the link!

The latest Official PlayStation Magazine UK has an all new batch of rumors we can chew on. If just the Crysis and BioShock 2 rumors are true, I’ll put out extra cookies for Santa come Christmas. Rumors ahoy!

• The PS3 2.5 firmware will come with a screen-grab function so you can send game images to friends.
• Who wants to be the Daddy? The as yet still unannounced Bioshock 2 will have a multiplayer mode.
• The team at Rockstar Games responsible for the PSP version of The Warriors is working on Max Payne 3.
• EA will publish the ex-Vivendi project, Jack Black’s Brutal Legend.
• Pandemic’s rumoured sandbox-style Batman game has been canceled due to reasons of rubbishness.
• Like your gore in bite-sized chunks? The sequel to zombie basher Dead Rising will be episodic.
• Sci-fi shooter Crysis will be coming to PS3 in 2009, and it’ll bring a whole load of new content with it.

If there was any justice in the world, they’re all true. Except for the one about the sandbox Batman game. Sounded like a novel idea, even if it is “rubbish.”

The rumor that Crysis will get ported to the PlayStation 3 is so old that I’m beginning to think it’s actually true. What, no loving for the Xbox 360? And BioShock 2 getting multiplayer? Two words. Well, finally. I was also wondering what would happen to Brutal Legend. Hopefully EA does pick it up. Maybe that would give their critics a double-take. Their line-up of games have been pretty impressive lately, what with Mirror’s Edge and Dead Space in the offing.

I’m not surprised about the PS3 screen-grabbing rumor. After all, there’s also a rumor going around that the next PSP firmware update will give the handheld the same feature. Besides, I’d imagine players would demand it after experiencing the feature in LittleBigPlanet. Maybe OPM just made that one up to give Sony a hint. And I hope they get it.

• Crytek looking for PlayStation 3 programmer
• PlayStation Home: PS3 FW 2.5, Home 1.0 hinted; closed beta extended
• Crysis coming to PS3, not direct port of PC game?
• LittleBigPlanet to feature Facebook-style photo tagging
• Activision Blizzard: Brutal Legend, and other games in publisher limbo
