Recent rumours suggest that Sony are working on new privacy settings for the PS3 and PS4 to allow users to hide their Trophy count and lists from other users. At the moment, trophy information is publicly available for any PSN user, meaning anyone can look at what games you’ve been playing.
July’s PlayStation Plus line-up was revealed earlier yesterday, but it looks like August’s line-up has also been leaked, revealing more top titles coming to the Instant Game Collection. July’s update includes Battlefield 3 and Saints Row: The Third, and it looks like Devil May Cry and Spec Ops: The Line will be coming in August.
A developer working on PS4 games has told Digital Foundry that all PS4 games that don’t support the PS4’s camera requires Remote Play functionality with the PS Vita. Remote Play hasn’t seen a lot of support in the past, even with the PSP console, so this is good news if the details are accurate. Sony has already stated that the long term plan is to have most PS4 games playable on the PS Vita via Remote Play.
Sony have released a video teasing the brand new PS4 console, but not quite revealing what the console looks like. The trailer reveals that the full console will be unveiled next month at E3, during Sony’s Press Conference starting at 6:00pm Pacific Time (2.00am 11th June BST, 3.00am CET).
Apparently, the PS4 reveal trailer – expected to appear at E3 next month – has been leaked, showing what the console will look like. The video looks pretty professional, however, its likely that the video is fake, since there is no evidence to support the video. The console itself looks futuristic and sleek – check out the video below.
Sony may be planning to reveal the PS4 before E3, if a report from PC Mag is to be believed. Aside from the PS4 specification and new DualShock 4 controller, Sony has yet to reveal the console’s physical form and pricing, so its likely that Sony will reveal both before E3 in June. The site says to “expect a big announcement from Sony about its next-gen PlayStation 4 console this month or possibly in early May.”
The resumé of a graphics programmer at Sucker Punch Productions has revealed that inFamous: Second Son will be PS4 launch title. However, since Sucker Punch has not confirmed (or denied) the news, it’s safe to classify this as a rumour for now. The resumé has since been altered to remove the references to dates but not before a screen grab was taken (below).
