Sony has confirmed it’s Tokyo Game Show line-up with the event being just over two weeks away. Sony will be featuring a number of games for the PS4, PS3 and the PS Vita, and may reveal a release date for the PS4 in Asian territories at their TGS Press Conference. PS4 titles include Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, DRIVECLUB, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack and more.
The UK Games chart reveals that Saints Row IV continues to lead the chart, staying on top for the second week running. Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn also debuts on the chart this week, entering the chart in third position and knocking down Disney Infinity to fourth place. Minecraft has dropped down the chart significantly too, now down to fifth place.
The release of the Playstation 4 is getting closer every day now, and for gaming enthusiasts the big day just can’t come soon enough. We’ve heard by now about all of the specs and capabilities of this rather incredible sounding new console, and for Playstation fans these capabilities are reason enough to be excited. But moving beyond what the specific console will do, here are 3 reasons, specifically related to gaming in general, that we can’t wait to get our hands on the PS4!
Sony has previously confirmed that PS3 gamers will be able to upgrade to PS4 versions of certain games if they’re upgrading to the upcoming console. In an interview with Digital Spy, Sony’s UK MD Fergal Gara confirmed that gamers will have to verify they still own the PS3 version of the game before getting discount on the digital version of the PS4 game.
When Sony said that the PS4 launch line-up was the largest for any previous console, they weren’t kidding. The console will be launching in North America and Europe this November, with 33 games available within the first month. The available games will be a mix of Blu-ray retail versions and digital editions, with the Blu-ray version expected to cost around £55.
Sony #PlayStationMemories sales continues this week, moving on from the PS2 era to the current generation – the PS3. The PS3 has seen a host of new IPs and existing franchises over the last 6 years, from the likes of inFamous to WipEout and more. You can find a great selection of PS3 games at discounted prices in the sale.
Sony’s #PlayStationMemories campaign in Europe continues today with a massive sale on PS2 titles. The console, which was released back in late 2000, has sold over 150 million units worldwide, and saw great games like Final Fantasy X, Tekken 5, GTA III, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and many more great titles – some of which are now on sale.
If you are a LOVEFiLM customer renting games, it’s time to cancel you subscription. The company, owned by Amazon, has announced that it will be ending its games rental service for all customers from August 8th 2013. Customers who have the Games package will be downgraded to the Unlimited DVDs & Blu-rays package, which included unlimited LOVEFiLM Instant access too.
Sony has partially revealed the list of games you can expect to see at E3 this year, including PS4 titles DriveClub and Killzone: Shadow Fall, along with little heard-of title The Last Guardian, which has been MIA since it was announced. Obviously, the list isn’t complete as Sony will likely have a few new games hidden up its sleeves.
Along with yesterday’s usual PlayStation Store update, the Store also received the first wave of PS3 Essentials titles. The Essentials collection features some of the best PS3 games at discounted prices, much like the PSP Essentials collection that launched a few years ago. Games in the collection start at just €14.99 / £9.99.
