Sony is revealing "a huge PlayStation 3" exclusive this Thursday night, in development at startup studio SuperBot Entertainment, according to the tease for this week's GameTrailers TV episode. It's not clear what property SuperBot is working on, but signs are pointing in the direction of Sony's long-rumored take on Nintendo's mascot-packed Super Smash Bros. series.

Originally rumored as "Title Fight," the fighting game project purportedly features an all-star cast of first-party Sony characters, from God of War's Kratos to LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy to Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth. So it shouldn't be surprising that Sony isn't keeping the vague Title Fight moniker and is instead opting for something a little more descriptive.

As PlayStationLifeStyle pointed out over the weekend, Sony went ahead and registered playstationallstars.com (whois) and playstationallstarsbattleroyale.com (whois). Both records were created on January 17th of this year and registered to "Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC" in Foster City, CA.

While the promo video doesn't reveal anything about the game, it does feature a clip of one of the interviewees, one Mr. Omar Kendall, a Director at SuperBot; host Geoff Keighley confirmed on Twitter that it was indeed Mr. Kendall (pictured above). Notably, Kendall's pre-SuperBot experience had him working as a designer on THQ's UFC series and, before that, the Backyard Wrestling series, and X-Men: Next Dimension. The common thread: Those are all fighting games.

We'll have more information on PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale – or just PlayStation All-Stars ... or is that Title Fight? – as soon as the show is up. The new episode of GT.TV will air late Thursday night at 1:05AM ET/PT.

The numbers are in, and Major League Gaming‘s Pro Circuit championship tournament in Providence, R.I. proved to be one of the bigger events streamed on the Internet. The three-day tournament, which took place a few weeks ago and is like the Super Bowl for gamers, boasted streaming records for the eSports league.MLG reported a total of 3.6 million hours of video consumed over the course of the tournament, with peak viewership of 241,000 users watching at the same time. And those viewers were totally engrossed in the gameplay: Average viewing time was north of three hours per viewer, according to MLG. Videos were streamed to viewers in more than 175 different countries, with U.S., Germany, Canada, Sweden and the U.K. leading the way.

To put that into perspective: When CBS Sports live streamed the matchup between No. 1 and No. 2 ranked NCAA football teams LSU and Alabama earlier this season, it reported just 214,560 unique viewers during the game. All of which is why the league could boast, in the infographic below, that it drew more 18- to 24-year-old viewers during the three-day tournament than cable networks like MTV, FX, Comedy Central and TBS.

For eSports enthusiasts, events like MLG’s Pro Circuit tournaments add a new way for them to enjoy games, even if they’re not playing themselves. And they’re becoming more popular: The tournament in Providence capped off a successful season for MLG, in which it streamed a total 15 million hours of video over six different Pro Circuit events, which is a 225-percent increase over video viewed during the 2010 season.

With persistent broadband that lets viewers watch events like MLG’s Pro Circuit in high-definition video, we expect events like this to continue to grow, especially as viewers can tune in on more devices. Watch out for eSports to become an even bigger business in 2012.

What happens when a talented artist with tons of characters designs and a fighting game pro with a character-less fighting engine meet up? Skullgirls happens, that’s what! Skullgirls, a true labor of love, set out to defy expectations of fighting games and provide a solid engine. Fighting games have given birth to a number of strange mechanics over the years, and a lot of the games themselves are strange. For instance, Skullgirls lets you view hitbox and hitstun data in training mode, which you can access straight form versus mode! Variable team sizes are balanced, and it’s impossible to accidentally hit the pause button mid-fight.

Skullgirls takes place in The Canopy Kingdom which is home to the Skull Heart, and the tournament for its acquisition. There’s evidence of a very deep, rich story and environment, though only the surface is touched in the game. Each character has a different reason to go for the Skull Heart, which, if acquired, grants one wish. However, if the wish is even slightly impure, it comes out corrupted, and the wisher becomes the Skullgirl.

Suffice to say the story is actually pretty cool, and props to Reverge for actually telling one, but that’s not the focus. Skullgirls is all about the fighting, casual or competitive, so let’s see if it stands up to the greats.

The studio stands in an awkward place right now where they have the desire to put out new content but they need to see the pay off first. For new content to be released, Skullgirls needs to sell.  Only after the developers see profit in their endeavors can the people who create new material get paid for their work.  As with nearly everything in life, things only get done when people are getting paid for it.  It all makes sense to me.
