Kooky's Return looks amazing, should feel familar screenshot

I am going to readily admit that this is only tangentially videogame related, and even then I'm probably pushing it, but after watching the above trailer I could not stop myself from posting something about the upcoming movie Kuky Se Vrascí (Kooky's Return). The film is about a boy who has to throw away his beloved teddy bear, Kooky. After doing so he starts to imagine the adventures Kooky is going on as the teddy bear tries to make his way home. Watch now and then I'll connect it to videogames for you.

The style feel vaguely familiar to you? You've either seen academy award winning director Jan Svěrák's other movies (not very likely) or played Machinarium. Amanita Design, the guys behind Machinarium, are working on the movie. Jakub Dvorský of Amanita Design is getting the production design credit and I think it shows throughout the entire trailer. The distinctive feel of their games is definitely shining through in it and making me want to see the movie bad.

The YouTube video should have English subtitles on it some time soon (if not now), but we'll have to wait until the film releases in May to actually see it. Most likely we'll also have to find an art house cinema as I doubt the Czech film will get a wide release in the U.S.

Killzone 3 confirmed

Killzone 3 confirmed screenshot

Like it needed confirmation in the first place! SCEA president Jack Tretton has confirmed Killzone 3, stating that while he can't guarantee any news on the game will be had at E3, he can promise that the game is on the way. Thus ends the worst kept secret in Sony's bag of tricks.

"I’m saving the batter for E3. We will absolutely bring the heat," says Tretton, weirdly, on the latest episode of GTTV. "... We own Guerrilla [Games] and they did a great job on Killzone 1 and 2. I don’t know whether you’ll see announcements about it [at E3], but I can promise you a Killzone 3."

Sounds like Sony has some hotness in the works. I just hope it isn't all to do with PlayStation Move, and that the DualShock still has a part in Sony's current plans. In any case, I loved Killzone 2 with a passion, so I'm all about the idea of a new game coming. I've always got time to shoot Future Nazis in their space faces.
