ModNation Racers will be getting a new title, just for the PlayStation Vita. Announced at Sony’s E3 2011 Press Conference, the PlayStation Vita version of the game isn’t a port of the PS3 or PSP versions. It is entirely a new game, making use of the Vita’s unique feature set.
The rumor from last week has been confirmed – the NGP will be called the PlayStation Vita. Kaz Hirai announced the new name at Sony’s E3 2011 Press Conference in Los Angeles earlier today. The PlayStation Vita will include dual analogue sticks, two cameras and dual touch-screens.
At the E3 2011 Press Conference, Sony has announced an official 3D display as part of the PlayStation range. To go along with the new 3D display, Sony is also releasing a official pair of 3D glasses compatible with a number of 3D TVs. One pair of the glasses will come with the Official 3D display.

In a few hours, Sony takes the stage at E3 2011 in Los Angeles for their annual press conference. No doubt, Sony has revealed many new games, hardware and more in previous E3 events.

Another PS3 title will be heading to the NGP – this time its Hustle Kings. When Hustle Kings came out for PS3 in late 2009, it was lauded for its visuals. And for good reason – it’s the finest looking billiards game ever created. This time, Hustle Kings for NGP will feature not only great visuals, but also the integration of touchscreen controls.
If you are a PlayStation Home user, you will be pleased with a Welcome Back package offered to all players as a way of saying “thank you” to our community for your ongoing support.

Super Stardust makes it way to Sony’s upcoming portable console, and it’s going to be a blast thanks to the NGP’s dual analog sticks (a portable first!). Super Stardust Delta should feel instantly familiar to anyone who’s experienced Super Stardust HD on PS3. But it’s important to note – Delta is not a port of that 2007 classic. It’s an entirely new game.
If you are already bored of Call of Duty: Black Ops, you will be happy to know that a new DLC pack will be coming next week. Now that the PlayStation Network is back up and running, you can look forward to the long-awaited Escalation DLC pack will be available on Friday, June 10th.
Sony has confirmed that its upcoming next generation portable (or NGP) will offer full backwards compatibility support with all the PSP games available in the PlayStation Network library. Scott Rohde, SCEA’s VP of Product Development, revealed the news at Sony’s Press Event earlier today.
