This September will mark the 25th anniversary of the original PlayStation released in the UK, Europe, and North America. 25 years since that new machine from Sony marked the beginning of a still-unfolding story.
To mark that anniversary a new documentary is being released and it is called From Bedrooms to Billions: The PlayStation Revolution, and this documentary will explore the origins of PlayStation as well as talking to some of the key figures behind the brand. Anthony and Nicola Caulfield are the minds behind this documentary.
There are plenty of super rare PS1 games that are worth playing, but at some of the prices quoted here? Ask your accountant.
Another leaker has claimed that a PSP/PS Vita style PlayStation handheld is in the works, and it'll supposedly support PS4 games.
If you had every PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and PSV game then sure but I mean if it's just the PS4 why not just get a Steam Deck?
I still play my vita. The oled screen was too good for it's time. I obviously had to home brew it but playing my old snes/ps1 games on it is so good.
How many people will buy this at launch? As a Vita owner, I'd definitely hold back after how Sony's support for that turned out.
Also, PSP played near PS2 quality games, PS Vita played near PS3 quality games, shouldn't the next Playstation handheld be aiming for near PS5 quality?
Polish headquarters of Sony Interactive Entertainment were raided by government authorities as part of an investigation into their anti-competitive practices.
This is precisely why discless consoles are a terrible idea. I made my money back on my disc based ps5 within the first two months when comparing the cost on the PS Store to what I paid for my physical disc versions. The last game I bought was Armoured Core 6 for £43.85 on ShopTo, still costs £59.99 on PS Store. Those savings soon add up.
shit-tier countries wanna make it look like they're working for the consumer's benefit, meanwhile they leave apple alone, the mobile market is actually something that affects people, not psn lmao
PlayStation immediately evokes not only so many great memories of gaming down through the years but also the promise of all the things yet to come. I hear PlayStation and its gaming defined. I'll use a certain word here...amped. Definitely amped to see this and it is a fantastic lead in to what is going to be a landmark year for PlayStation.
This will be great to watch, and just before the PS5 launch too. It's going to get the Blue PS blood running. I actually can't wait to see it.
I miss the old logo.
It was a pretty simple strategy: give a variety of games to a variety of gamers. And be consistent while raising the bar.
Others need to watch and take notes.
No denying Playstation opened up gaming to a lot more people (that might not of been interested before). I still remember seeing Wipeout being demoed in a local shop and being blown away by it, and I had been gaming since late 70's early 80's.
