Sony could make downloadable titles backwards compatible but not discs as a way of pushing customers towards digital distribution.

 

Speaking of digital distribution, is there any chance we might see 3rd parties selling download codes for titles off Playstation store? In an ideal world I should be able to walk into GAME/HMV or browse on Amazon and see the download code the same price or slightly cheaper than their disc counter part - including sales. Especially for the high street, this could be one of their very few options for remaining relevant, particularly if the no second hand games rumour is true.

Haha! This one, at the end, where he rips off the mask and Kaz has long flowing Tom Cruise hair is amazing.

LittleBigPlanet devs tease 'mysterious' new game

 

Media Molecule appears to be teasing a new unannounced game on its official website.

 

The LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway studio has included an unnamed title in its 'games' list. Listed as a question mark, the page links to a film clip for Toyah's 'It's a Mystery', and provides no other information.

 

The studio is currently working on Tearaway, a PS Vita exclusive scheduled to release some time in 2013.

 

I'm really interested to see what MM do with their first non-LBP game (excluding Tearaway).

LittleBigPlanet dev teases a new game ahead of Sony's PlayStation 4 event

 

MotorStorm RC game director Paul Rustchynsky also teased the PlayStation event by beginning a countdown on his Twitter account over the weekend.

 

Evolution Studios produced five MotorStorm games since 2006. The latest, downloadable spin-off MotorStorm: RC, launched last year. But the LinkedIn profile of design director Simon Barlow mentioned a larger "AAA first-party exclusive" title. This project has been in development since 2011, when the series' last major release MotorStorm: Apocalypse launched.

 

Shit is getting exciting. Paul Rustchynsky tweeted Evolution have 120 people at their studio at the moment, which is huge. I'm excited.

 

NINE DAYS TO GO.

Another rumour that fits nicely with a previous rumour: that ex-Bizarre staff are working for Evolution Studios (who now have a healthy amount of staff) and working on a "AAA" racer.

I wonder if that rumour is referring to Lucid Games, or if this is a different fringe of ex Bizzare folk?

Sony's got a bit of a history with just swapping currency symbols around for Europe, but £350 would be incredibly reasonable for a next gen console launch price.

 

£350 would be! and off the shelf parts would certainly be cheaper than the £450 ps3..... who knows, maybe temptation will get the better of me and i'll get a launch model....maybe

The Vita would be a good indication. How much was that in the US when it launched? It was £230 here...I think.

 

Edit:

If it's $400 we might be able to creep in at £350. I got my Vita for £220 with a game and a memory card, so fingers crossed. I suspect Europe will just get shafted, though.

Another stop on the hype train.

 

Fumito Ueda issues The Last Guardian statement ahead of Sony's PlayStation 4 event

 

The creator of delayed PlayStation 3-exclusive The Last Guardian has issued an update on the game's development just days before Sony's big PlayStation (4) pow-wow in New York.

 

Fumito Ueda explained that work on The Last Guardian was still in-progress (as it has been since 2007) and that he remained in charge.

 

Cryptically, Ueda added that the release of new information surrounding the project was Sony's job, not his.

 

"While it's been a long time coming, The Last Guardian remains under my creative supervision and is still in development by an incredibly talented team," Ueda wrote on his personal site.

 

"I should also mention that details regarding The Last Guardian's release is [sic] solely decided by Sony Computer Entertainment, not myself. Please keep an eye out for their official announcement."

 

Ueda went on to mention that he was planning new projects to be undertaken "with a fresh perspective" - on a new console?

 

"Moving forward, it is my intent to continue my involvement with The Last Guardian project, as well as pursue new creative projects with a fresh perspective. As I rekindle my passions as a creator, I look forward to seeing where it will take me, and I deeply appreciate your support during this transition."

 

Ueda's statement comes exactly one week before Sony's much-hyped news conference. It's the first we've heard of The Last Guardian in months.

 

Sony Worldwide Studios chief Shuhei Yoshida told Eurogamer last year that the game was still being developed "on PlayStation 3".

 

Would The Last Guardian continue to be developed for PlayStation 3 after the announcement of its successor?

If this was a PS4 launch game, I'd die from joy.

More PS4 controller rumours emerge

 

'Remodelled shoulder buttons, front touchpad, Start and Select moved'

 

Fresh rumours concerning the form of the PlayStation 4 controller have been published online.

 

According to a VG247 source, the controller is "more or less" the same shape as PS3's DualShock, but the Start and Select buttons have been have been moved to accommodate a front touchpad.

The report also claims that the L2 and R2 shoulder buttons have been remodelled, and that the previously rumoured 'Share' button doesn't exist.

 

Edge recently reported: "A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet."

 

If the latest rumour turns out to be accurate, the removal of the Share button wouldn't necessarily result in Sony dropping support for the above-mentioned feature.

 

In January, a senior games studio source working on an upcoming Sony game told CVG that the new system's controller has undergone numerous iterations, few of which resemble the DualShock build that has become synonymous with PlayStation. Versions of the new PS4 pad include biometric sensors on the grips and an LCD touch screen, they said.

 

Edge has also claimed that the next generation console will launch in Japan and the US by the end of 2013 but will not be released in Europe until "early 2014".

 

Sony is expected to reveal PlayStation 4 at an event taking place in New York on February 20.

Remodelled trigger buttons, hell yes. I like the idea of a share button, I hope that feature is true and doesn't get dropped.

Haha! They're some pretty good pointers, too.

 

Sony Books Huge Venue for PlayStation Meeting

 

Unlike an ordinary press event, which only has 20 or so journalists in attendance, this is going to be a huge event akin to an E3 press conference – The Hammerstein Ballroom’s website states that the venue can accommodate 2,800 people Reception Style or 2,200 people Theater Style.

 

It's like having TWO E3s this year.

@Hero\-of\-Time that was brilliant! :laughing:

 

lol at NintendoE3 "OMG What Reggie... what are you gonna show us..."

 

It is funny that this hasn't actually been confirmed by Sony as a PS4 event! :p

But now they had damn better make it one! ;)
