Sony Unveils PS Vita Mini-game for Frobisher Says Unlocked Today Read more

Today Sony European Product Manager Mayumi Donovan has unveiled a brand new mini-game for Frobisher Says on PS Vita that is now officially unlocked!

Lord how I love this game. I played it at E3 and it is a blast...very much like WarioWare, but with a lot more personality. It feels fresh, and the added AR functionality really make things feel a bit more challenging, not in a bad way mind you...just...well...

"Frobisher says...FIND SOMETHING BLUE!"

The ensuing hunt is something marvelously rare in games, especially when you're in a room devoid of blue. E3 wasn't an issue considering Sony's entire booth glowed with blue hues at all times.

They said it was free too, so I hope that remains.

SoundGamer4109d ago

I wonder when it is coming to North America. It's on the US PlayStation site, but we still haven't had any word on it coming.

Sounds like a fun game.

sarshelyam4109d ago

If you like WarioWare, it's a blast. Very fun!

Great system, I still have one.

PrimeVinister29d ago

Me too!
I have an OG model and a PS One.
Of all the classic games on it, I end up playing PES 2 and F1 97 most though 🤣

anast29d ago

xD Nice. I get into Metal Gear on mine.

PrimeVinister27d ago

@Anast MGS is such a classic. I played it to death back in the day and beat it a few times recently.

I never had a DualShock back in the day so it was cool to FINALLY see the controller walk under Psycho Mantis' control. I also loved being able to easily walk quietly instead of the tapa tapa tapa on the D-pad 😎

PrimeVinister27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

@anast also I was kind of hoping Psycho Mantis would read my card, see my PES save files and say "You're a sad bastard, aren't you?"

But alas, he doesn't.

Sony Purchases Audeze

This is big. Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“SIE”) announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Audeze, a leading audio technology brand and pioneer of high-end gaming headphones. The acquisition will strengthen SIE’s efforts to continue innovating when it comes to the audio experience of PlayStation games.

Jin_Sakai30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Great get. Audeze makes probably the best gaming headset on the market which use planar magnetic drivers.

purple10130d ago

The new Sony headsets all use those. Coincidence?

darthv7230d ago

i have a feeling this was always the plan but Sony had to wait to announce this merger until after their new headsets were revealed.

Aussiesummer30d ago

And the worst usb dongles in existence, at least sony can fix that.

Well, the good news is that their new headsets are probably going to be much better given how well Audeze is regarded. But it is a weird purchase, given that Sony is already a leader in the audio industry. So they could very well just apply their own knowledge and tech to improve their lousy gaming headsets instead of buying a competitor.

purple10130d ago

correct and it seems the best will only get better

mandf30d ago

Their headsets aren't lousy

GameBoyColor30d ago

Their gaming headsets are, all of them have been mediocre compared to Sonys actual line of headphones and even other gaming headsets. This is a big buy for Sony if it brings the quality of playstation headsets up.

Neonridr29d ago

if you think there's something special about the current lineup of gaming headsets available from Sony then you clearly don't have knowledge of other headsets out there. They aren't bad in the same regard that Beats headphones aren't "bad".

Not being bad doesn't make them good.

ChronoJoe30d ago

Not with planars though, which are becoming more and more popular. Audeze own a lot of proprietary technology related to their planar magnetic drivers. So I imagine that would be the primary motivation for the acquisition.

Bobertt30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I have bought the top model of the Playstation headsets for the PS3 and PS4 and while they all sounded great they were not durable and the cheap plastic always broke. Hopefully this acquisition leads to more durable headsets made of metal. I saw the new Pulse Elite they announced and i can already tell that bend they added will be the weak point where it will break.
