Sony on Cross-Console Play: Happy to have the Convo
Sony has responded to Microsoft’s invitation for “cross-console” play with what amounts (in my eyes) to a “hey yeah maybe”, which is enough for me to keep the hope.
Maybe: Sony teasing return of ‘Crash Bandicoot’
Man — Crash Bandicoot. A bygone character from an olden age. An age that I personally wouldn’t mind returning to, at all. C’mon, Sony. C’mon, potential developer attached. Bring back some Bandicoot-based platforming gloriousness.
Sony has sold more than 35 million PlayStation 4s; imagine if they had exclusives!
Yeah, straight trolling in the headline. I love my PlayStation 4. It’s my go-to console, and it appears that I’m not alone. Sony has announced that they’ve sold more than 35 million consoles. As opposed to shipped, which makes the numbers even more impressive.
PlayStation 4 getting a $50 price cut in North America
PS4 is finally getting a price cut, folks. The OverLords over there at Sony have officially announced the reduction, which starts tomorrow.
‘Uncharted 4’ drops March 18th, 2016
We finally have a Uncharted 4 release date. The fourth installment of the series that made the PS3 (and PS4) a must buy for me has been in development for like, futzing ever. It’s gotten delayed, lost a considerable amount of its staff, but whatever. Water under the cosmic bridge or something. It’s real, it’s got a release date, I’m hyped.
Sony letting PlayStation Plus members vote on which “free games” the service will add
This is pretty dope news, though not without its understandable caveats. Sony is going to let PS+ members vote on which games they get for free, at regular intervals throughout the year. However — it won’t be monthly. Double However, it will be from a list curated by Sony. Obviously.
‘Uncharted’ movie loses its director, and is going in “new direction.” Oh.
BE MORE VAGUE, Sony. The fuck you doing with the Uncharted movie. Seems like the formula is pretty obvious. Mirror (to an extent) Indiana Jones, which is a pretty glaring inspiration in the first place.
Sony CEO says the PS4’s first-party line-up “sparse”, actually means “sad af”
You know that a console’s first-party line-up is sad as fuck when the CEO of the company is actually addressing it. Sony Czar Andrew House has described his system’s first-party non-game line-up as “sparse”, and followed it up by rattling off a bunch of bullshit. Bullshit that Day One adopters like myself probably don’t give a fuck about. Because we bought the system for games.
