So, Sucker Punch revealed the first details on inFAMOUS 2 UGC a couple of weeks ago at GDC. For those of you that haven’t seen the details on this already, check out the awesome UGC trailer below and click here: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/03/02/infamous-2-user-created-missions-give-infinite-possibilities-limited-beta-in-april/ to see the post.

So, the question is, do you want to become Famous?

Well, lucky PlayStation Plus members will be able to become just that when we open up the inFAMOUS 2 Limited Release UGC Beta exclusively to PlayStation Plus subscribers on 12th April 2011.

More information will follow on how lucky PlayStation Plus subscribers can get access, (keep an eye on the EU blog!) but please be aware that not all subscribers will be able to get into the UGC beta on 12th April.

Please note there is a separate process for other territories, the above is only relevant for users in the PAL territories.

Keep in mind, the best of these missions will be handpicked by Sucker Punch to auto-populate into every user’s game world on or near the launch day of inFAMOUS 2.

If that smells like win to you, then do your best to be creative, innovative, and to polish your mission(s) to the quality of a shipping title. Beta participants will lead the way at launch, but once the game is
released, the floodgates open for mission designers around the globe to Become FAMOUS.

Hi gang!

Hope you’re keeping well? Spring is here soon and then it will be summer in no time. Yay! Any of you lot off to any festivals this year? Maybe see you there.

So, the update is a bit on the small side this week but I hope you can at least find one or two tracks or guitar and dance add-ons to tide you over to the next one. Peter Andre anyone? Worth it just for the video and the sexy dance alone, right girls? And the Pixies ‘Here Comes your Man’ on guitar? You know it’s right!

Or maybe check out Ellie Goulding’s favourite SingStore tracks she picked for her very own What’s hot list last week. Maybe there are some gems in there you haven’t tried out yet?

Talking about Ellie Goulding, make sure you pop over to the news section on the website this week. Ellie came in as part of ‘SingStar meets…’ and we put your questions, and some of ours, to her. Find out what she had to say about SingStar, her career and much more…

Love and respect,
Nina xx

Tracks have previously been released on a disc.

Listen up marines: we’ve got a brand new trailer for you.

You’ve met Sgt. Damien Knox and you’ve met Cpl. Ryan Balletto. Today we introduce you to Sergeant William Kirby who’s both squad leader and Rifleman in Fireteam Outlaw 2 Bravo. He’s seen it all and some more. The insurgents, they’ve got blood thirst, and the PLA ain’t too friendly either. It’ll be his leadership that will keep you alive.

As a little extra bonus for all you Playstation Blog readers we raided the Red River studio and came away with this exclusive screenshot, just for you. This shows Outlaw 2 Bravo and another sunny old day in Tajikistan.

Can’t get enough? We’ve got tonnes of great videos, screenshots and more over at flashpointgame.com. You can also like us on facebook and follow us on twitter for the latest Red River developments.

Dismissed!

If I do say so myself, that was a good week on the blog. There was a banquet of news, including the much-requested Online Storage. Let me tell you, I don’t think anyone welcomed that as much as me, as I have two PS3‘s at home and two more in the office. I also got to fit in my favourite part of this job – interviewing interesting developers. We started with LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, nipped through Arkham City and finished up at Slightly Mad Studios to talk about Need for Speed SHIFT 2, which I’ll write up next week. Here’s your recap:

WAIT! What with all the news this week, I almost forgot to tell you that this blog has now been integrated into the PS3 browser version of eu.playsyation.com. It has been a long journey of feeds, image resolutions and lines of code that I can never pretend to understand, but you can now do everything you love doing, blog-wise, on your gorgeous PS3. Just head to eu.playstation.com on the PS3 browser, hit the news tab and select PlayStation.Blog from the dropdown menu. Why click when you can X?
