With Sony’s ‘Future of PlayStation’ next week, Sony is taking a look back at the History of PlayStation with a new series of videos, titled PlayStation Evolution. The first video takes a look at the original PlayStation, which was released back in 1994 in Japan – the first console for Sony, and the start of famous franchises such as WipEout, Crash Bandicoot, and Gran Turismo.
A leaked image of the PS4 controller has been floating around since yesterday, probably from a PS3 Dev Kit, showing an early proto-type of the new controller expected to replace the DualShock. The new controller suggests Sony will be incorporating PlayStation Move and a touch pad right inside the controller. The new controller also reveals a redesigned D-pad and analogue sticks.
Despite Sony and Superbot Entertainment parting ways, the developer is still working on DLC. The developer has confirmed that “development and support on All-Stars is nearly wrapped” but the next batch of DLC won’t see its release for “several more weeks,” after which Sony’s Santa Monica Studio will take over development.
Despite leaving Team Ico and Sony, Fumito Ueda, has confirmed that The Last Guardian is still in development and he remains under his creative supervision. Ueda revealed the news via an update to his website, saying that “while it’s been a long time coming, The Last Guardian remains under [his] creative supervision and is still in development by an incredibly talented team.”
New content has been added to the PlayStation Store in Europe this week, including a number of new PS3 and PS Vita titles. You can also find new DLC, including the first batch of DLC for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. New PS3 games, PSP games and other DLC is available too.
Sony and Naughty Dog has officially delayed The Last of Us, expected to release in May 2013. The game is being delayed so the developers can have some extra time to perfect and deliver a high quality game, as we would expect from Naughty Dog. The game’s new launch date is now just over a month later in June 2013.
In preparation for the first batch of DLC, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has received a massive patch for both the PS3 and PS Vita versions of the game. The patch adds support for the new characters, stages and minions that can be downloaded from the PlayStation Store.
A massive PlayStation Store update is now live in North America featuring a number of new games for the PS3 and PS Vita, and a whole host of new DLC content. Alien Breed is now available on the PS3 and PS Vita (cross-buy compatible), and the first DLC for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been released too.
To celebrate Superfrog’s 20th anniversary, Team17 will be re-releasing Superfrog HD on the PS3 and PS Vita later this year. Superfrog first appeared on the Amiga back in 1993 to critical acclaim, and has been one of the most requested games from fans, according to Debbie Bestwick, Team17′s Managing Director.
New PlayStation Plus content enters the PlayStation Store in North America later today, which includes a new game and discounted content. For starters, Closure enters the Instant Game Collection and subscribers can get discounts on cross-buy title Alien Breed on the PS3 and PS Vita.
