Sony’s 20th Anniversary Edition PS4
To mark their 20th anniversary for PlayStation, Sony has revealed a new custom PS4, which is designed with an original PSOne finish. The console can be preordered from the US and Europe for $499 and €499. But there are only 12,300 of these bad boys around the world. They’ve basically taken their latest console and given it a PlayStation look which was what started their venture in gaming. Packaged in a special commemorative box, the custom PS4 is brilliant with a familiar silver/grey finish. The DualShock 4 controller also went through a similar overhaul and sees the return of the original PlayStation logo. If you look at the touch pad you’ll notice that there is a pattern on it which makes it very cool indeed. You can pre-order this from the 6th of December 2014.Further details ann...

4 Reasons Why PS4 Is Crap
Before you almost fall off your chair and lean intently towards the screen thinking–“saale ne kya kaha??” Just want you to know this is an opinion piece and that the PS4 is a good gaming console no doubt, but there are a few areas I felt it needs to pick up its slack. The PlayStation 4 is the result of careful consumer study and balanced research into what makes a console resonate with its target audience. A spectacle of engineering, PR and excellent game design coming together to take us to the future of gaming. Or it would have been if Sony hadn’t spent literally every second of every press conference blatantly taking the piss out of Microsoft’s X-One. Running victory laps is fine as a joke, but not when that that joke becomes your entire sales pitch. It stopped ...
Metro 2033 Creators say PS4 is more powerful
Chief technical officer for 4A Games, Oles Shishkovstov says that the developer behind the Metro series is working on an open world title. In a rather long interview with Eurogamer, Oles talks in great detail about programming for both of the current gen consoles and further explains how ongoing improvements to their toolsets will contribute to their next game. 4A Games and publishers Deep Publisher recently came out with updated versions of both of their games–Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. The games are being sold separately and also in a bundle package called Metro Redux. These updates are a complete remaster and a sort of a director’s cut which had taken the Ukrainian studio more than a year to complete. Metro Redux is available on PC and the next gen consoles. While bot...

When news about Amy Hennig (the creator and writer of the Uncharted series) leaving Sony-owned developer Naughty Dog got around, many wondered about the future of the franchise, and who would assume the role of taking charge of the newly-announced Uncharted game for PlayStation 4? Those questions are being answered now Game Informer asked Naughty Dog Co-President Evan Wells whether Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley – the game industry veterans who rose to prominence with The Last of Us – would help the project in transition, he stated that, “It’s not so much of a transition period, actually.

God of War director leaves Sony after 11 years
The director of the well know game God of War III, Stig Asmussen has left Sony Santa Monica, and reasons as to why he did so remains to be known. “SCEA can confirm that Stig Asmussen is no longer with Santa Monica Studio,” a Sony representative told IGN. Asmussen more than just a familiar face at Sony Santa Monica as he joined the company in 2003 and worked on God of War, God of War II and God of War III. He however did not work on God of War: Ascension and was leading development on a new IP that Sony shut down last month. Asmussen is reportedly interviewing in small studios but again we’re not totally sure where. Source: Eddie Makuch
