Rapid-Fire is GoombaStomp's weekly Playstation news column, wrapping up all of the Sony stories that you need to know about. This week, a Sony patent for a Switch-like device was revealed, the Crash Bandicoot remaster received a release date, Activision was hit with layoffs and more.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
It's like they are pushing us away from gaming on consoles. The standard edition of this game is currently on sale on Xbox for $41.99, on PlayStation for $69.99 and on steam for $30.00. The PS store usually have sales on Tuesdays so hopefully, we will see the price being matched when the store gets updated.
As an iconic handheld device, the Game Boy Color was packed with fantastic platformer games that covered numerous sub-genres while providing a genuine experience.
Palworld is a runaway success for developer Pocketpair, but creator Takuro Mizobe isn't looking to make triple-A Xbox games anytime soon.
Well, that didn't take long. Not that I think Sony will follow through with it immediately.
It'll probably be like the motion controls situation all over again; Sony had a wand prototype first, but they didn't really do anything substantial with it until the Wii released and proved there was profit potential in the idea.
Then Sony started treating it a bit more seriously, culminating in the here and now, where Sony's trying to get them sold through VR.
Following that logic, Sony will probably only make this patent a reality after the Switch starts selling well, to ride the wave.
In other news, glad to see the Crash remaster isn't too far off. Hope it does well.
LOL love how fanboys now discovering this old news since 2015
I hate how fanboys on either side love to stretch the facts..When Switch was first revealed we heard "ps4 and vita does the same thing" but Nintendo has been connecting handheld with console since GBA and Gamecube.. you could even say since super nes with super gameboy player. On the other end Sony developes tech as well .. the dualshock had the best rumble compared to n64 rumble pack and dual analog sticks ..Remote play as well(plus more but to keep the conversation simple). So with these new patents it would seem Sony is looking at expanding on what it has done with vita/ps4 and make a hybrid of their own.. lets be honest here.. I personally have came up with a hybrid idea as a future direction so its not far fetched to believe big companies have the same ideas i have. Its actually a logical move forward.. its how the industry works.. if Switch ends up big, i can see Sony trying to make their patent a reality.
