Your one-stop shop for all things Sony.
Though Sony is keeping this year's GDC a little more low-key than what we saw last year, there's still plenty of stuff for PlayStation fans to drool over.
Avinash from Tech4Gamers writes "If Sony ever decides to re-enter the handheld market, it should stick with the original PSP design for the best results."
"The PSP’s simple yet intricate layout gave it a timeless structure, offering a unique but comfortable experience."
Yeah, no. There have been huge improvements in the ergonomics of handhelds in the past couple of years. The PSP, especially if we consider the 2000, 3000, and Street PSP models, had a flat back. Saying that this console was comfortable is definitely looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses.
"The analog stick aligns perfectly with the thumb."
It doesn't even have an analog stick; it has a slider.
This is a nostalgia-filled fluff piece that says nothing. If Sony wants to release a new device, they can't make the same mistakes they did with the PSP and the PS Vita. They have to look at what works now in the segment, consider what is available to people, and create something based on that.
Leave the original PSP design for a PSP Mini or something like that.
I always liked the vita's design. Just make the analogs clickable, add the triggers, get rid of the back touch, and you're good. The psp is great as well.
There are PC/Android handhelds that have mimicked the psp and vita designs.
Right. What are these people smoking? It's needs all the buttons / sticks that exist on the PS5 controller.
Sucker Punch rejuvenated the superhero genre with Infamous, a series that focused on the pure fun of wielding destructive powers.
Atleast release a remaster trilogy or something to gage interest. I'd buy it. With that said I'm pretty over superheroes at this point. Infamous is still dope as fk though so it'd be a buy
I agree but games take 4-6 years to make so who knows when they would do it? After Ghost of Tsushima2? They could have something else in the world as well in early production who knows.
It's a shame Sucker Punch finally figured out a good open world formula only while making Ghost of Tsushima. Infamous 1 and 2 were great for their time, but Second son felt too much like a checklist in It's design. I love the hell out of all 3 games (2 and 3 are just so damn good, while 1 shows it's age and the ps3 struggles), but I would love to see how they would do another infamous with all they have learned. Wouldn't hurt to release a remastered collection either.
This series, days gone, will continue to get ignored by sony, luckily we still have the horizon series, sly cooper not getting pushed anymore, speaking of that I'm bout to get on my ps2 and play some sly 2 anyways lol, but seriously I never woulda thought back then sony would ever cold shoulder most of their franchises I'm actually surprised they're still letting ratchet&clank be around
Limited Run Games, in cooperation with Square Enix, will release action adventure game Fear Effect for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam in 2025, the company announced.
What!? That is freaking great!!!! I really loved this game back in the day and was so pissed the Remake got changed and then eventually canceled. This is such great news that it’s the original. Will definitely get the plat for it.
The article mentions:
* PC
* Nintendo Switch
* PlayStation 4
* PlayStation 5
But why isn’t there a mention of the Xbox Series version?
Yea that’s a Limited Run Games thing like what @Scissorman showed in the article. They’ve tried selling the physical versions of Xsex games, but they just don’t sell. But I’m fairly sure this should be digital for Xbox, if not, then it’s time to drop Xbox and come to greener pastures.
@CrimsonWing69, greener pastures.. Yep moved to mainly PC now myself get all the good games from both companies now if only Nintendo would release games on PC too.
so a ps1 game launched in modern platformos, mmmkay. I can play it already in emulators with high res, retroachievements support and more, doesn't make much sense.
Sony knows what they're doing. They're saving the big announcements for E3 and TGS. GDC's never been anything special. E3 and TGS = Sony's territory.
sony's been really quiet so far
EDIT: for those who disagreed with me, can you please tell me what, if any, announcemetns have been made by sony
wait, doesnt insomniac have a presentation soon?
where is resistance 2 ????
All the info will come on sony gamers day as for gdc they are focusing on developers not gamers which is why they hold a conference on developing items, location etc for home and its roadmap to the future.
While new games and all gaming related info will be presented on Sony gamers day.
