PlayStation EU’s tweeted a livestream for God of War: Ascension will happen this afternoon on the EU PS Blog. The stream, hosted by game director Todd Pappy, will go live at about 4pm BST. Word to the wise: expect to see some first impressions going live on the game before then on a few sites.

Ascension was announced for PS3 a week-and-a-half ago.

Sony is set to launch Plastic’s Move tech demo Datura on May 8 in the US and May 9, according to listings on its product page. The tech demo, Plastic’s second following Linger in Shadows a few years back and made in collaboration again with Sony Santa Monica, sees the player make their way through a forest area with Move. Players can use a bog standard SIXAXIS if they wish, though.

Thanks, Videogamer.

New footage of Plastic’s Move game, Datura, is posted below. Like others released before it, it’s very interesting. The game still doesn’t have a date. Thanks, AGB.
