 PlayStation is holding a Gran Turismo 6 contest for Europe's would-be speed demons. Don't think you'll be able to just waltz on in and snatch a spot in the drawing, though. In order to be entered, you'll have to take a multiple-choice quiz on the history of the Gran Turismo series. There are six questions, and the fastest time wins. You know what that means - no screen-looking Google searching.
Should you be one of the five grand prize winners, you'll receive an official Gran Turismo racing pod, a 40-inch Sony Bravia TV, a Thrustmaster Steering Wheel and racing seat, a PS3 system and a copy of Gran Turismo 6 Anniversary Edition. Ten runners-up will receive a copy of GT6 Anniversary Edition and a PS3 to play it on.
As far as we're aware, you won't be able to do any sick burnouts using the Gran Turismo racing pod. As far as we're aware.

EA DICE will release an update for the PlayStation 4 and PC versions ofBattlefield 4 tomorrow, addressing a one-hit kill glitch that has plagued the game since launch, among other fixes and improvements.
The patch will eliminate reported instances of a single bullet dealing damage multiple times upon impact, often resulting in one-hit kills. The PC version will see additional fixes that target audio bugs and screen blurring, while the PS4 patch will enable audio playback in video captures and fix crashes relating to large Friends lists.
The PC patch will deploy at 1:00 a.m. PST on December 3, while the PS4 update will be available "in the afternoon EU time."

PlayStation Europe kicks off its yuletide PSN sale with a Christmas cracker: FIFA 14 for £25 (€35/AU$45) on PS3, and £20 (€25/AU$33) on Vita. They're the first of 24 gaming discounts in the wrongly named 12 Deals of Christmas - which doesn't run across the 12 days of Christmas either.
Instead, the promotion runs from the start of this month through to Christmas Day, with each discount available across 48 hours. That means you have until tomorrow, December 3 to net the FIFA 14 deals.
Messi Christmas, everybody!

The PlayStation 4 had the best launch week in the UK of any gaming system to date, and in the words of Chart Track it "eclipsed" the Xbox One's sales from the week before. There's no confirmed numbers, but we know the country's previous fastest-seller is the PSP, and it sold 185,000 units across its debut week in 2005. The long and short: The PS4 done good.
British industry site MCV put the PS4's opening week sales at 250,000, according to its retail sources. MCV also pinned the Xbox One's UK numbers at 150,000, but again that figure is unconfirmed. In any case, the good news is both consoles are enjoying successful launches both in the UK and across the globe; Sony announced 1 million PS4 sales within 24 hours of the console's debut in North America, a figure Microsoft also hit when it launched the Xbox One across 13 markets worldwide.
As for this week's software charts, there's some predictable shuffling with the console launches. Call of Duty: Ghosts drifted back to the top, after FIFA 14 stole ahead last week with the Xbox One Day One bundles. The rest of the top ten is made up by games available across Xbox One and PS4, with the exception ofGrand Theft Auto 5 in seventh, and Batman: Arkham Origins in tenth.
The charts don't read so well for the Wii U, though. The system's standout holiday game, Super Mario 3D World, debuted in 14th place, just behind PS4 launch game Knack in 13th.

PlayStation UK is celebrating record-breaking sales of PS4, and has promised gamers that a 'substantial' amount of stock is now being flown into the UK.
The firm sold just shy of 250,000 consoles in two days last week, significantly more than the previous record holder – PSP – which sold 185,000 units over a four day period.
The sales helped retailers take home £175m in sales last week.
In a statement sent to MCV, Sony has praised retailers, customers and partners for their part in the success, and have promised to fulfil the demand from gamers still waiting for their machines, and even deliver more machines than expected into retail.
"We are delighted by the initial sales of PS4 and are proud to have set new records for a UK console launch," said UK MD Fergal Gara.
"In particular, I want to thank all the gamers who have waited patiently for PS4 and who have come out to support PlayStation. I also want to thank all of our retail and publishing partners who have helped make this possible by delivering huge sales in a very short period of time and great games for PS4.
"Since the initial announcement back in February, pre-orders for PS4 have surpassed all expectations and we continue to work hard to fulfil the remainder of these pre-orders and to deliver additional consoles to the market for the many more gamers who want a PS4. Substantial further volumes of PS4 will arrive in the UK before Christmas."

Each offer will kick off at 12pm and will run for around two days, offering an average discount of 50 per cent. FIFA 14’s £24.99 PS3 and £19.99 Vita price was introduced yesterday.
PS4 titles will not be included in the promotion.
Films and other media will be included, however – right now Tom Cruise movie Oblivion can be rented for £1.99 in HD or 99p in SD.
The next set of deals will be revealed tomorrow.

FIFA 14 has emerged as the third-party champion in Gfk Chart-Track’s first PS4 Top Ten.
Sony’s Killzone: Shadow Fall is PS4’s No.1 (with an impressive attach rate, it seems) while FIFA 14 claimed No.2.
However, arguably the biggest battle was between EA’s Battlefield 4 and Activision’s Call of Duty: Ghosts – and Battlefield scored the headshot.
EA’s game is this week’s No.3 and Activision’s is No.4 – although note that the PS4 version of Ghosts has been on sale since the game arrived on other formats in early November.
Chart-Track noted at the time that it had a strong first week, so could well be the bigger overall seller.
Here’s the PS4 Top Ten:
1. Killzone: Shadow Fall (Sony)
2. FIFA 14 (EA)
3. Battlefield 4 (EA)
4. Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision)
5. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (Ubisoft)
6. Need for Speed: Rivals (EA)
7. Knack (Sony)
8. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (Warner Bros)
9. NBA 2K14 (2K Sports)
10. Injustice: Gods Among Us (Warner Bros)

It has been suggested that PlayStation 4 game streaming service Gaikai is scheduled to launch in North America in the second half of 2014.
According to a Eurogamer source, Gaikai will roll out across North America in the third quarter of 2014 ahead of a European launch the following year.
 The site also claims Sony is currently asking some developers to take part in a Gaikai beta scheduled for early 2014.
"We're on track to have a commercial service up and running in the US first within 2014," Andrew House told Eurogamer. "That remains the plan and we're very much on track to reach that.
"But what's important is to understand the full scope of what we're trying to achieve and why we felt the Gaikai acquisition was important. Our goal is to be able to have a new form of game distribution streamed from the server side, initially to PS4 consoles then gradually moving that out to Vita.
"But eventually, the endgame is to have this available on a multitude of network-connected devices, essentially delivering a console-quality gaming experience on devices which are not innately capable of doing that."
When asked if he could comment on the mooted 2015 release date for Europe, House replied: "I really can't be specific on the European rollout. It's a brand new form of delivery.
"We need to prove out the technology, which we feel is good at its core, but we place - as I think is quite right - a real emphasis on delivering a quality experience for consumers. And that will be dependent to a degree on what the strength of broadband connection is going to be, and what our server deployment and infrastructure looks like.
"We're hard at work on all of those fronts, but I'm not at a point right now where I can be specific about when our European fans are going to be able to enjoy that."
Speaking during a roundtable interview at Tokyo Game Show in September, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida said: "We are planning to start serving PS3 games on cloud servers in the States next year for PS4, PS3 and PS Vita - and that means PS Vita TV as well - and expand in regions and content."
Earlier in the year, Gaikai founder Dave Perry said: "What we're creating is the fastest, most powerful gaming network in the world."

CVG understands that UK PS4 sales outstripped Wii U's lifetime total in a matter of hours following the release of Sony's new console last week.
Retail monitor Chart Track said on Monday morning that PS4 has become the fastest selling console in UK history.
 While specific sales figures weren't revealed, retail sources have since claimed Sony moved over 250,000 consoles within 48 hours.
Despite launching one year prior to Xbox One and PS4, Wii U may now been relegated to third place in terms of next-gen UK hardware sales.
In late November, UK Xbox One sales hit 150,000 units in the console's first 48 hours of availability, just a few thousand units short of Wii U's total UK sales since release.
At the end of Nintendo's second fiscal quarter ended September 30, global Wii U hardware sales stood at 3.91 million units.
Sony said PS4 sales hit one million units in the console's first 24 hours of availability following its North American release on November 15.
And worldwide Xbox One sales topped one million units in the 24 hours following its November 22 launch, according to Microsoft.

New research from Way To Blue has suggested that PS4 put in a stronger social media performance than Xbox One in their respective 72 hour launch periods.
UK data showed that in its first three days of availability Xbox One had 50,703 social media mentions, 11 per cent of which showed a ‘propensity to purchase’. PS4, meanwhile, saw 55,368 mentions in its first three days with a 12 per cent propensity to purchase.
Similar purchase propensity stats were seen earlier in the year for key games such as Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield 4, Call od Duty: Ghosts and Assassin’s Creed IV.
Overall that saw PS4 claim a 52 per cent share of the associated social media traffic, according to these numbers.
A conflicting report from Sythesio last week claimed that PS4 had a 40 per cent social media advantage, generating three times as much positive coverage as Xbox One.

Sony plans to take a very different approach to its streaming-centric Vita TV device when it eventually makes its way to Western markets.
The microconsole has got off to a slow start in Japan with sales of just 42,000 units during its first week of release in November. It’s currently available as a $99 standard SKU or as part of a $150 bundle.
Sony Computer Entertainment boss Andrew House has toldEurogamer that its release in the West, which is a market far more familiar with streaming content than Japan, will be handled very differently.
“We see strong market potential elsewhere in the world, but it will be a different road to market for the US and Europe than has been the case in Japan," he said.
"It's a very different landscape when you look at the US and Europe – much greater establishment of streaming video services, and much greater understanding of what that concept's all about. It's still very much in a nascent stage in Japan compared to some of the markets in Europe or the US.
"This may sound slightly counter-intuitive, but we wanted to launch in Japan first because I feel there really hasn't been a critical driver or device that's driven the adoption of streaming content overall.
"We felt there was therefore an opportunity to leverage the strengths of PlayStation Vita, which as you know is quite strong in Japan in terms of game line-up, but combine that with the features of a media streaming box, and offer something packaged newly for the Japanese consumer and possibly be at the forefront of creating a new market via that device."

Take-Two head expects systems' installed base to outgrow predecessors, barring economic downturn
Take-Two Interactive
take2europe.com
The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are off to encouraging starts at retail, but they've got a long way to go before surpassing the installed base of their immediate predecessors, which have already combined for more than 160 million systems sold worldwide. It took the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 eight years to sell that many units, but Take-Two Interactive chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick thinks their successors can reach that mark considerably quicker.
In an investor presentation at Credit Suisse' 2013 Technology Conference today, Zelnick responded in the affirmative when asked if the PS4 and Xbox One would surpass their predecessors in five years. While he stressed it was too early to put any stock in that prediction, it's a bet he would take.
"I'd specifically say yes because it appears that--and this is largely anecdotal but tablets are a good example--all these new iterations of more and more exciting hardware seem to have picked up in velocity generationally compared to five or 10 years ago," Zelnick said. "But if we had a big market meltdown, for example, a repeat of '08 and '09 in three years, or two years, or two minutes, that would influence it. But if this economy stays on this track, yeah, I feel good about it."
"I'm not psyched about a business where 3 percent of your customers pay you... I'm skeptical that for very high-end products, that's the way the business goes."
Strauss Zelnick on F2P
Earlier in the session, Zelnick touched on Take-Two's plan to navigate the generational transition, saying that companies who tend to thrive in such times are those with strong creative teams, strong owned intellectual property, strong technology, and a strong balance sheet. Not surprisingly, he said Take-Two fits the bill on all counts. However, when pushed for more details on what the company has coming in the pipeline, Zelnick said Take-Two has been "more forthcoming than we've ever been before," telling investors the company has more than 10 projects in the works for the new systems, both in existing franchises and in new intellectual property.
"Beyond that, I'm frankly not sure what color would benefit you," Zelnick said. "If I said we had a title called Steven's Life in Elementary School next October and I told you it was going to sell 20 million units, what credibility could that possibly have? New intellectual property is a risky business."
When asked about whether the lack of backward compatibility in the new systems would hinder the consumer adoption rate as gamers would be unable to play their old games, Zelnick dismissed the concern.
"I don't see it as a problem at all, and certainly we have the physical ability to port, and it wouldn't be particularly costly," Zelnick said. "The question is, 'Is there an economic opportunity for us to do so?' I don't think backwards compatibility affects consumers at all."
Throughout the event, Zelnick emphasized Take-Two's "ecumenical" approach to providing entertainment, saying the company would be flexible when it comes to business models, methods of distributions, and platforms.
"That said, our DNA remains these very high end, AAA, immensely immersive experiences, and I don't really see us deviating from that," Zelnick said.
And while Take-Two is exploring the free-to-play market in Asia, it doesn't sound like the company is planning to shift heavily in that direction anytime soon.
"I'm not psyched about a business where 3 percent of your customers pay you, which is what you're dealing with," Zelnick said. "But we're flexible. If that's the way the business evolves, as long as we can get paid and make a profit doing it, we're happy to contemplate it. I'm skeptical that for very high-end products, that's the way the business goes. I think you'll continue to sell those high-end products as the entry point, and then you'll have in-game monetization for certain sold items and free items."

Atlus touts success of controversial beat-'em-up on Sony platforms; Vita-exclusive Persona 4 Golden ships 700,000
Atlus has found that niche titles can still put up big numbers. The Japanese publisher today gave sales updates for two of its recent hits, saying the fantasy beat-'em-up Dragon's Crown has shipped 800,000 copies to date, while Persona 4 Golden has shipped 700,000 copies. Both tallies include the number of copies downloaded through Sony's PlayStation Store.
First released for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita in July, Dragon's Crown sparked plenty of debate upon its release for its hyper-sexualized depiction of female characters. Developed by VanillaWare, the game was originally set for a 2012 release from UTV Ignition Games, but Atlus later acquired the rights to the project from the company and added it to its own release schedule in Japan and North America.
Although Persona 4 Golden shipped fewer copies in a longer stretch of time (first released in June of 2012), its total may be more impressive. The game is a remake of the 2008 PlayStation 2 RPG Persona 4, and managed to hit its sales mark despite releasing exclusively on the PS Vita.
Those shipment numbers are poised to grow further, as Atlus is discounting the downloadable versions of both games in Japan until the New Year.

Wedbush's Pachter says more than half of consoles will be going to North America, with half of those to GameStop
Sony
Sony has promised to have "substantial" resupplies of the PlayStation 4 before the end of the year, but has given no indication as to what qualifies as substantial. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter has stepped in to fill that information void, telling investors in a note this morning that he believes Sony is making PS4s at the rate of a million systems per month.
Pachter followed up on Sony's announcement today that it had sold 2.1 million systems worldwide, saying that number fits well with previous estimates that Sony began manufacturing PS4s for retail on September 1, and that it faces a gap of up to three weeks from a system's creation to the time it arrives on shelves.
"We expect Sony to continue to ship 1 million consoles per month, so as of the end of January, we believe Sony will have manufactured a cumulative 5 million consoles and will have shipped 4.25 - 4.5 million," Pachter said. "We expect the 55 percent allocation to North America to continue through January, and then revert to a more normalized 40 percent of units once Sony launches in Japan and other countries. We think that Microsoft is on a similar production schedule, with similar allocations to North America."
Pachter added that specialty retailer GameStop has been receiving roughly half of the systems shipped to North America, and that it will continue to take up that share of the allocations through December. In the New Year, Pachter expects the company's share to be dialed back to a "more customary" 30 percent.
If the shipment projections are accurate, the PS4 would be more than holding up its part of publishers' predictions that Sony and Microsoft would combine to ship 10 million units of their new systems by the end of March.

Omni Systems' space-faring strategy game Eufloria HD is taking root on PS Vita this month. This new port, which doubles its predecessor's frame rate, adds refined touch controls and improves upon the visuals through greater pixel density, will be available in North America on December 17 and in Europe on December 18.
Eufloria HD focuses on a group of interstellar lifeforms called Euflorians. Their goal is to colonize asteroids, grow and expand, with players assuming the role of a commander who must guide and nurture the Euflorians' development in real-time.
In our review, we particularly enjoyed "the dreamy, ambient score" but cautioned that the game can be a bit overwhelming to real-time strategy newcomers. No price for Eufloria HD has been announced, though the original PS3 release was priced at $9.99.

Atlus announced it's shipped 700,000 copies of Persona 4: Golden worldwide, meaning plenty of people have stayed up late to tune in into the excellent Vita remake. To celebrate those numbers, Atlus is discounting the JRPG on Japan's PlayStation Store (sorry, everyone else) to ¥4,980 between December 11 and January 8.
The news comes as several new Persona games bear down on us, including aPersona 4 rhythm game for Vita and expanded arcade fighter The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold. Not forgetting cutesy Etrian Odyssey-like Persona Q for 3DS, and certainly not the big kahuna: Persona 5 on PS3.

On the second deal of Christmas, PlayStation Europe offered to me: Diablo 3 on PS3 for £30, and Spelunky for £5.50 on Vita, with an additional 10 percent off Derek Yu's hard-as-nails platformer for PlayStation Plus members ... in a pear tree.
Alright, it's not catchy, but it is a decent second batch for the 12 Deals of Christmas. The PS Europe promo runs until Christmas Day, with today's deals available until December 5.
A word of caution on Spelunky: The game should feature cross-buy, meaning a purchase of the Vita version unlocks the PS3 version. That said, the PlayStation Blog's deal specifically marks out Vita, and on the PlayStation Store the offer is only for the Vita version. We've reached out to Sony to confirm and clarify what today's discount specifically applies to.
Update: A SCEE representative confirmed to Joystiq the discounted Vita version of Spelunky features cross-buy, so if you buy it you'll unlock the PS3 version too.

Polished pinball series Zen Pinball 2 will make its way to PlayStation 4 on December 17, but that's not the best part. Developer Zen Studios also announced this morning that folks who already own PS3 or Vita versions of the tables coming to PS4 will be able to download the tables for free.
The Zen Pinball platform is a free download anyway and it comes with the adorable Sorcerer's Lair table. The tables typically cost $3 apiece and the latest addition will be Marvel's Doctor Strange, with more Marvel and Star Wars-branded tables coming in 2014. The list of tables after the break (and in the video above) are the ones being transferred. From here on out it's all new content.
We should also point out that Star Wars Pinball is currently free if you're a member of PlayStation Plus, so if you download it now, you'll have access to it on PS4 when the platform launches.

Renegade Kid's plane-hopping platformer Mutant Mudds Deluxe will debut for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita on December 17 as a Cross-Buy release, studio co-founder Jools Watsham announced.
The PSN version of Mutant Mudds Deluxe will be priced at $9.99, and includes Cross-Save functionality across both platforms. Players in Europe will need to wait a little longer before joining the fight against the Mudds, however, as Watsham notes that "the cost and logistical hassle" of age-rating submissions has delayed the game's European launch on PSN and the Wii U eShop.
Watsham additionally revealed that work on the upcoming sequel Mutant Mudds 2 has been put on hold while the team finishes up work on its current project, Treasurenauts. "We feel that it is healthier/better for us to develop a new 2D platform game in between Mutant Mudds and Mutant Mudds 2 to maintain perspective on what Mutant Mudds 2 needs to be," he explained.
Treasurenauts has been delayed to next year, and a release date for Mutant Mudds 2 has not been announced. Series fans have a new batch of content to look forward to, however, as Watsham revealed that the original Nintendo 3DS version of Mutant Mudds will receive a free update "sometime in 2014."

SideQuest Studios' tactical RPG Rainbow Moon is now available for the PlayStation Vita, introducing newcomers to its dungeon-crawling, loot-based approach to the genre while wooing veterans with DLC import options.
Released for the PlayStation 3 in 2012, Rainbow Moon focuses on character growth and customization, allowing players to outfit their party members with new abilities via add-on content. The game features Cross-Save functionality, and previous purchases carry over into the newly launched PS Vita version, giving fans the option of either resuming their quest or starting a new game with bonuses intact.
Players who purchased the PS3 version of Rainbow Moon can pick up the PS Vita port for 50 percent off of its launch price this week, and PlayStation Plus members receive an additional discount. A free 90-minute demo is also available, allowing players to resume their progress in the full version upon purchase.

The PlayStation Store has issued its weekly update, which is headlined by Spearhead Games' PS4 puzzle game, Tiny Brains. In our review from earlier today, we called the game "accessible and adorably illustrated" with just a tinge of dark humor.
PS Vita launch game Escape Plan also comes over to the PS4 today with its cross-buy functionality intact, so if you've already picked up the game on another system you can play it on PS4 gratis. On the PS Vita side, both Rainbow Moon and Stick it to the Man make their platform debut today.
PS Plus members can download a free copy of Grid 2 on PS3 today. On top of that, there's the ongoing holiday sale to consider, plus price adjustments on games like Limbo, Saints Row: The Third and more.

SCE boss Andrew House says it launched the system in Japan first due to the lack of a market leader
Sony plans to take a very different approach to its streaming-centric Vita TV device when it eventually makes its way to Western markets.
The microconsole has got off to a slow start in Japan with sales of just 42,000 units during its first week of release in November. It’s currently available as a $99 standard SKU or as part of a $150 bundle.
Sony Computer Entertainment boss Andrew House has told Eurogamer that its release in the West, which is a market far more familiar with streaming content than Japan, will be handled very differently.
“We see strong market potential elsewhere in the world, but it will be a different road to market for the US and Europe than has been the case in Japan," he said.
"It's a very different landscape when you look at the US and Europe – much greater establishment of streaming video services, and much greater understanding of what that concept's all about. It's still very much in a nascent stage in Japan compared to some of the markets in Europe or the US.
"This may sound slightly counter-intuitive, but we wanted to launch in Japan first because I feel there really hasn't been a critical driver or device that's driven the adoption of streaming content overall.
"We felt there was therefore an opportunity to leverage the strengths of PlayStation Vita, which as you know is quite strong in Japan in terms of game line-up, but combine that with the features of a media streaming box, and offer something packaged newly for the Japanese consumer and possibly be at the forefront of creating a new market via that device."

 Now that both next-gen consoles are out in the wild, our intention was to publish an ‘indie verdict on next-gen’ piece this week. Putting together that feature becomes a little tricky when, having sent a flurry of emails to independent developers, not one of the studios we contacted had actually bought a PS4 or Xbox One.Sony and Microsoft’s new consoles might well have enjoyed record-breaking launches, but indie interest – certainly among the developers we asked – seems to lie elsewhere right now. For Playdead’s Jeppe Carlsen, Wii U, with a new Mario in tow, is currently the fresher and more innovative console; Ustwo’s Dan Gray bought a Vita instead of a new home console last week; The Astronauts’ Adrian Chmielarz believes neither offer anything that can’t be done on PC already and Size Five Games’ Dan Marshall is still waiting for one or the other to truly dazzle him. Simogo’s Simon Flesser, meanwhile, says that “they don’t seem to do much that most of my plastic boxes at home can’t do already.”These responses can’t speak for the entire indie community, of course, but their common apathy is still a little surprising, given how hard each platform holder has been trying to convince indies of these new consoles’ importance. “I am not really interested in any of the launch titles,” says Playdead’s Jeppe Carlsen. “At the end of this generation, the software really started lacking in quality on both consoles (except for The Last Of Us), but I am pretty excited about what is to come, and expect both new consoles to provide fantastic content in a year or two. I am happy my money was spent buying great Nintendo titles instead.”

 Tekken Revolution is free to play. Released in June exclusively for PS3, it has a starting roster of eight characters, and features both solo and multiplayer modes. Each play costs a virtual coin, which regenerate at a rate of one per hour in singleplayer or per half-hour for online. When these run out, you can buy Premium Coins from the PSN Store. It’s just one of Namco’s many experiments in free-to-play gaming.Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada, who is heading up Namco Bandai’s adventures in F2P, notes that, far from being a futuristic or even contemporary model, the approach has its roots in the same place as Namco: the arcade. “The outlay in the arcade is very low. For just ¥100, you can try out a game, or a particular character in that game, and see whether you like it,” he says. “So this is a way to attract new players who might be interested in Tekken, but [aren’t] necessarily willing to spend $59.99 to try it.”Namco Bandai’s first F2P trial run with a big-name series came at the suggestion of board members in June 2012, who felt a new approach could work for its Gundam games. It did. Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation is a six-on-six mech battler, and its daily limit pay model brought in ¥700 million (£4.4 million) in months, success enough to persuade the company to try going F2P with some of its other key series. Since then, Namco has announced SoulCalibur: Lost Swords (PS3), Ridge Racer Driftopia (PC/PS3) and Ace Combat Infinity (PS3).

Two more of PS4’s PSN features have been reactivated by Sony.
The platform holder announced last week that a number of features were to be temporarily shut down in an effort to keep PSN up and running amidst the launch rush that accompanied its UK and European release on Friday.
As of yesterday the Live Item and Content Information screens have been reactivated. These allow users to check out their friends’ activities in specific titles. The What’s New was turned back on the day before.
On Sunday December 1st the company began reactivating voucher redemptions, although this is still being rolled out.
Reports of more general issues, such as trouble signing in, appear to have now faded.

The Vita TV launched in Japan last month, and while the roughly $100 microconsole only managed third place on the sales charts, it was far closer to the top two systems (3DS XL and the Vita proper) than the rest of the pack, more than doubling sales of its fellow TV-bound consoles like the Wii U and PlayStation 3. However, its performance in Japan will have limited bearing on its rollout in the West, Sony Computer Entertainment head Andrew House told Eurogamer.
"The positioning of Vita TV may be different between Japan and some of the other markets," House said, adding, "This may sound slightly counter-intuitive, but we wanted to launch in Japan first because I feel there really hasn't been a critical driver or device that's driven the adoption of streaming content overall. It's still very much in a nascent stage in Japan compared to some of the markets in Europe or the US."
The executive said that gives Sony the chance to create a new market with the Vita TV, which combines the sort of content streaming seen in products like Roku with the ability to play non-touchscreen Vita games on the TV with a DualShock 3 controller.
"It's a very different landscape when you look at the US and Europe - much greater establishment of streaming video services, and much greater understanding of what that concept's all about," House said. "So we see strong market potential elsewhere in the world, but it will be a different road to market for the US and Europe than has been the case in Japan."
Sony has not yet revealed Western launch details for the Vita TV.

Sony has released PS3 firmware version 4.53.
According to SuperFastZombie, an online support co-ordinator for the English PlayStation community, the optional update improves system stability.
 Sony claimed that month that worldwide PS3 sales to retailers hit 80 million units on November 2, eight years after the system launched.
As of September 30, Sony said 4,332 software titles had been released for PS3 worldwide, excluding downloadable games. A further 300 will be released this winter, including this Friday's Gran Turismo 6, the latest entry in PlayStation's best-selling franchise.
The PlayStation Network, which launched alongside PS3 in 2006, now operates in 59 countries and, as of September 19, had amassed more than 150 million registered accounts. PSN's global catalogue offers over 222,000 digital content options, including 72,000 pieces of game content, according to Sony.
PS4 launched in North America on November 15 and two weeks later in Europe and Latin America. Worldwide PS4 sales stand at 2.1 million units, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said on Tuesday morning.

UPDATE: Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has taken to Twitter to address concern about microtransactions in PlayStation 3 racing game Gran Turismo 6.In a series of tweets he insisted the ability to pay real-world money for virtual currency which can then be spent on cars was an "alternative path" through the game's progression system."The game is just offering an alternative path to busy people," he replied to one follower on Twitter. "Read reviews when they come out."Then, responding to another: "Microtransaction per se is not a bad thing, how the game is designed around it could become a problem."

Recently-released PlayStation 3 platformer Ratchet & Clank: Nexus has been rated for release on PlayStation Vita.
The European ratings board listing popped up on PEGI's website and was promptly spotted by NeoGAF.Nexus arrived in Europe on 20th November, but its release was somewhat overshadowed by the launch of next-gen consoles.The game is a budget-priced epilogue to the duo's Future series, which encompasses Tools of Destruction, Quest For Booty and A Crack in Time."Some of you have asked us why we made a shorter Ratchet game," developer Insomniac said earlier this year. "The truth is, we relished this ability to tie a bow on the PS3 era of Ratchet with a shorter title."We have a lot of stories to tell, some longer, some shorter. This one felt just right. It's a very polished self-contained return to the Ratchet adventures of yore."

Dice has put all expansion pack development on hold until it fixes the multitude of errors that have plagued Battlefield 4 since launch.
"We know we still have a ways to go with fixing the game - it is absolutely our #1 priority. The team at DICE is working non-stop to update the game," an EA spokesperson told CVG.
 "Since Battlefield 4 China Rising expansion pack was already in the final stages of development by the time issues began with Battlefield 4, we decided to fulfill our promise to deliver it this week, but we're not moving onto future projects or expansions until we sort out all the issues with Battlefield 4," said the rep, confirming that all other development is currently on hold.
"We know many of our players are frustrated, and we feel your pain. We will not stop until this is right."
BF4 has been plagued with various critical issues since launch, including server instability and lag during gameplay, corrupt save data, XP loss and complete system crashes on an alarmingly regular basis.
Developer Dice said it has fixed the "most common" stability issues with the PS4 version of Battlefield 4 via a server-side 'hotfix' last month, but many issues persist.
The glitch-induced woes continued for BF4 players this week as Dice released the China Rising expansion to a new slate of game-breaking errors, including a complete inability to play the DLC content for some platforms.
We said in our Battlefield 4 review: "A triumph on a multitude of levels, Battlefield 4 is the series' most compelling package to date, a delightfully slick introduction to the next-generation of consoles and more than a good enough reason on its lonesome to pick up a PS4 or Xbox One."

DICE has released new Battlefield 4 updates for the PS4 and PS3 versions of the game.
While the PS4 update is rolling out globally, the PS3 one is currently being released in all territories except North America, where it will launch"as soon as possible".
 Dec 5 PS4 Game Update Notes- Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where bullets were sometimes applying their damage multiple times to a character. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when having a very large amounts of Friends
- Enabled audio in PS4 video captures
Dec 5 PS3 Game Update Notes- Reduced the risk of a crash when transitioning from one multiplayer round to another
- Fixed a crash that could occur when creating decals (bullet hit effects, etc.)
- Fixed a crash that could occur when leaving vehicles
- Fixed a crash that could occur when moving outside of the intended play area
- Fixed a crash that could occur when firing the MBT and IFV gunner incendiary weapon
- Fixed a crash that could occur when opening the Options menu
- Fixed a problem with weapon accessories using up too much memory, which in turn could lead to crashing
Field Upgrades Reactivated
We have now fixed the Field Upgrades "Indirect Fire" and "Perimeter Defense" that were crashing the game. These Field Upgrades were previously deactivated as a workaround to this very frequent crash. With this fix in place we are now reactivating the Field Upgrades in question.
One-hit Kill Bug Fixed
Fixed the "one-hit kill" bug where damage from a single bullet sometimes was applied multiple times. This could lead to firefights where normal rifles sometimes dealt one-shot kills, which is not as designed.
Improved Hit Sync
We previously removed interpolation of damage events (like you taking damage from someone shooting at you) to make them feel more responsive, but that made the damage sync suboptimal. We are committed to tweaking the sync so that it will stay more true to what you are actually seeing. The first step towards this is taken in this patch, so you should see some improvement on this now. We will continue to work on improving hit sync in the game. This change is already live on PS3, PC, and PS4, and will go live on Xbox One and X360 in upcoming patches.
Miscellaneous Fixes
- Fix for stuck in infinite loading screen
- Fix for flares exploit where you could deploy flares faster by leaving and re-entering a vehicle
- Moved an infantry spawn point on Rogue Transmission at first base that was previously positioned outside of combat area
- Adjusted AT weapon at first base on Rogue Transmission from second floor barrack to outside on ground. Previously, players had to destroy a wall in order to reach the weapon
- Performance fix when firing upon large destruction objects (mostly after Levolution events)
- Minor performance optimizations
- Fix for destroyed object parts still being visible in the game world
- Smoother movement of networked objects (like vehicle turrets)
- Fix for audio randomly dropping out when driving a US tank
- SP/South China Sea: Added collision for place where player could get stuck
Additional notesOne-hit Kill Bug Explained
We are seeing reports from people that this is still present, with descriptions such as "I came around the edge of a building and died instantly". It is important to understand that this is not the One-hit Kill Bug, that is another issue that we are working on addressing. For this, it is important to understand how some of the interpretations made by the game happen so that you can understand the difference.
We saw an issue where a bullet travelling towards an opponent would cause damage in one frame, and then again in the next frame. Therefore bullets would cause 2x damage if they hit the target between these two frames. This issue has been addressed.
The issue of dying before you saw who shot you is a different beast. We use a term called Interpolation in reference to where you are in the game world. There are instances where the death camera is initiated before the correct internet packets have arrived to be interpolated by your camera. This gives the impression that you were killed by "one shot" as someone came around the corner of a building. We have identified this issue and will address it in upcoming updates. DICE said on Wednesday that it has suspended development of Battlefield 4 expansion packs until it fixes the multitude of errors that have plagued the game since launch.

 Resogun was among the top-rated PS4 launch games; we awarded Housemarque’s PS4 debut an 8 in our review.
Indies Housemarque and Compulsion Games have hailed the early success of their PS4 launch titles Resogun and Contrast, giving fellow indies hope that smaller titles can thrive on the new console.The indie duo enjoyed little competition on PS4’s storefront at launch, available for download in amongst some very highly-priced blockbuster games. Resogun and Contrast’s inclusion as free downloads for PlayStation Plus subscribers also ensured that indie games were among the first titles many new PS4 owners played on their new hardware.Only Sony knows the real sales figures for each, but judging by other metrics, Housemarque’s Resogun is getting as much attention as some triple-A games – if not more, says the studio.“We know Resogun has a great retention rate, people keep going back to it,” Housemarque community manager Tommaso De Benetti told us. “Last time we checked, it was on par with much bigger budget games. Also, we have the highest number of community ratings on PSN at the moment – over 18,800 reviews. In comparison, Killzone Shadow Fall has 1,200 and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has 1,700. It looks like a lot of people are liking Resogun more than much more hyped games, though of course it is free with PlayStation Plus.”Compulsion Games, which released Contrast for 360 and Steam as well as on PS4, told us that Sony’s platform had been the most successful of the three, thanks again to PlayStation Plus and few competing titles on day one.

80 million consoles sold may sound like a huge number to Xbox, but to PlayStation it is just not good enough.
Xbox 360 and PS3 have both sold 80m worldwide so far. But for Sony that’s a disappointing figure having come off the back of PS2, which went on to sell 150m consoles around the world.
Speaking to MCV, PlayStation CEO Andrew House says the aim for PS4 is to sell far more units than its predecessor.
“It has an opportunity to significantly exceed what we’ve been able to achieve with PS3 and there’s a couple of reasons for that,” he said. “We start off with a price point that is much more consumer friendly than was there for the PS3.
“Also, one of the success stories for the business as a whole has been our ability to open up new geographies for video games over the last five years. You are seeing opportunities for new markets that we haven’t tapped into.
“The other point is that we took several years to take PS3 from being a dual function device to a multi-functional entertainment device. PS4 arrives with a full suite of those non-game entertainment services right from day one.
“And that’s important because there will be someone who wants this as a games device, but the fact it is a great place to view BBC iPlayer, for example, gives other family members reason to use it. That is crucial in broadening what the console’s reach could be.”
“It has an opportunity to significantly
exceed what we’ve been able to achieve
with PS3. We start off with a price point
that is much more consumer friendly
than was there for the PS3." Andrew House, PlayStation
The PS4 story has been a good one for Sony. Unveiled in February in New York, the firm unleashed its secret weapon in system creator Mark Cerny. who won over attendees with his presentation that rumours claim he memorised in its entirity. “We knew Mark was a talented system architect and developer, but who knew he was such a great presenter as well?” said House.
What followed was a surprising move by Xbox to potentially block pre-owned and game lending, which gifted PlayStation an easy PR victory at E3 2013.
“It surprised me that we were required to make such a clear statement that we were going to maintain status quo in areas that we took for granted,” he added.
“That wasn’t dictated by us, that was by the moves the competition was making. That remains the largest surprise for me – how visceral that reaction was. But the fact that we had to put a stake in the ground, in an area that we felt was just common sense, still has me quite literally scratching my head.”
But the biggest victory for Sony came last week when it released PS4, complete with launch event in Covent Garden. What followed was 250,000 sales in 48 hours, forcing it to ship extra consoles for Christmas.
Yet the real battle for Sony is only just beginning. PS4 started well, but then so did PS3, which had a strong debut but sales soon fell away. So does this launch hype even matter?
House concluded:?“When two consoles of this scale launch almost simultaneously, it seems to have put games back into the mainstream, so the launches are important from that point of view.
“It also sets the tone for how momentum is going to be for a platform’s lifecycle. The contradictory other side to that, is the old: ‘It is a marathon not a sprint.’ It is not just about one night. But it is an important start in terms of staking out the road you’re going to try and follow.”

Sony is facing criticism over its implementation of microtransactions in Gran Turismo 6.
Their inclusion was confirmed last month but the prices were only revealed yesterday and are, according toEurogamer, as follows:
500,000 in-game credits – £3.99/€4.99
1m in-game credits – £7.99/€9.99
2.5m in-game credits – £15.99/€19.99
7m in-game credits – £39.99/€49.99
A quick bit of number crunching from the site revealed that those who want to buy, say, the Jaguar XJ13 (which costs 20m in-game credits) could do so from the off for the sum of £119.95. The car can also be unlocked by simply playing, of course.
Sony has responded in a statement to CVG by saying that microtransactions remain entirely optional.
"It is not required," a Sony spokesperson stated. "We do not penalise players for not making transactions (they still have access to everything) and it is completely optional.
"As with previous instalments of Gran Turismo, users are able to earn in-game credits and unlock additional cars by competing in races or event challenges," they said.
"The value of both items will naturally increase as the user completes higher ranked challenges and races, including online. In GT6, users have the optional choice to purchase in-game credits in increments of $500,000 through the PS Store to unlock content faster if they prefer to do that, rather than earn them through gameplay.
"We do not require players to purchase or use purchased in-game currency to experience or progress through the complete game."
Even fan-favourite Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida has found himself facing heat on Twitter and has re-iterated Sony’s argument.
Microsoft found itself experiencing similar criticism regarding the use of microtransactions in Xbox One launch title Forza 5, although it would appear that progress in that game for those who choose not to pay is somewhat harder going than in Sony’s title.

Andrew House thinks the PS4 could beat the PS3 in lifetime sales numbers.
Sony Computer Entertainment
Sony Computer Entertainment is a Japanese videogame company specialising in a variety of areas in the...
playstation.com
The PlayStation 4 is already off to a great 2.1 million start, but its predecessor fell short of Sony's all-time console best: the PlayStation 2 with 150 million consoles sold worldwide. The PlayStation 3's 80 million is still good, but Sony's hoping to match its earlier success. Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House told MCV that the PS4 is primed to exceed the PS3.
"It has an opportunity to significantly exceed what we've been able to achieve with PS3 and there's a couple of reasons for that," said House. "We start off with a price point that is much more consumer friendly than was there for the PS3. Also, one of the success stories for the business as a whole has been our ability to open up new geographies for video games over the last five years. You are seeing opportunities for new markets that we haven't tapped into."
House also said that Sony has made sure that the PS4 functions as a game console and media device "from day one".
"That's important because there will be someone who wants this as a games device, but the fact it is a great place to view BBC iPlayer, for example, gives other family members reason to use it. That is crucial in broadening what the console's reach could be," he said.
For Sony, the dual launches of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One mean that home consoles are back on the mainstream public's mind. That the PlayStation 4 has taken an early lead is a good sign to House.
"When two consoles of this scale launch almost simultaneously, it seems to have put games back into the mainstream, so the launches are important from that point of view," said House. "It also sets the tone for how momentum is going to be for a platform's lifecycle. The contradictory other side to that, is the old: 'It is a marathon not a sprint.' It is not just about one night. But it is an important start in terms of staking out the road you're going to try and follow."

A number of PlayStation Network users have had their passwords reset today as a security measure by Sony. The company informed affected users through e-mail, with multiple GamesIndustry International staff among those receiving such communications.
Sony has a history of network security issues, most notably the 2011 hacks of the PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment sites that saw hackers access the personal data of more than 100 million customers. The company put the price tag for that lapse at roughly $170 million.
As of press time, a Sony representative had not responded to request for comment. The full text of the company's original mass e-mail follows below:
Dear valued customer,
The Sony Entertainment Network team routinely monitors for any irregular activity, and if such activity is detected, we may sometimes reset passwords of affected accounts to protect consumers and their account information. Your account password was recently reset as part of this process and you will need to create a new password the next time you access your account using the "Forgot Your Password" option on the Sign in screen.
We encourage you to create a complex unique password that you have not used before or isn't the same password as those associated with other online services. As always, we also encourage you to keep a close eye on your account for any unusual activity including emails about transactions you did not perform. Please click here if you need help in changing your password, or to contact us for additional assistance.
Also, remember that Sony will never ask you for your password or any personal or account information in an email. Please use caution if you receive any emails or phone calls from anyone asking for personal information or directing you to a website where you are asked to provide personal information.
Thank you,
The Sony Entertainment Network Team

Earlier this week, Atlus detailed its method behind the madness that is Persona 4: Dancing All Night, an upcoming (and unlikely) PlayStation Vita rhythm game based on the popular demon-fusing RPG series.
Taking place after the events of Persona 4, Dancing All Night finds former Investigation Team member Rise Kujikawa back in the idol biz, returning to a life of everyday celebrity after solving multiple homicides in Inaba. When a member of her idol group goes missing amid rumors of the Midnight Channel's return, however, Rise once again teams up with Persona 4 protagonist Yu Narukami to find her missing coworker and bust some moves along the way.
Co-developed by Hatsune Miku: Project Diva series developer Dingo, Dancing All Night will feature multiple tracks from Persona 4, Persona 4 Golden, and the anime series Persona 4: The Animation. Musicians Tetsuya Komuro and Daisuke Asakura have been recruited to create high-energy dance remixes for the soundtrack.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night is due for release next fall in Japan.

Ultra Street Fighter 4, the new wing of Capcom's palatial Street Fighter estate, is coming to consoles in early June.
In a post over on the Capcom-Unity blog, it's revealed the add-on for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Super Street Fighter 4 will arrive in early June for $15, while the PC update will arrive two months later in August. The full digital bundle and retail versions – which include all of the released costumes and the base Super Street Fighter 4 game – will also come to consoles in August for $40, while Capcom is giving PC players the digital bundle for $30 in August since they have to wait longer for the new challengers.
Capcom announced Ultra Street Fighter 4 at this year's EVO fighting game tournament. Ultra Street Fighter 4 introduces five new characters: Rolento, Poison, Hugo, Elena and one character that has yet to be revealed. Capcom hasno plans to release Ultra Street Fighter 4 on PS4 and Xbox One.

It's going to be difficult to watch the new season of Game of Thrones without humming South Park's vocal variation of the theme song. We won't reprint it here, but it rhymes with "Meeners, ploppy Meeners."
The third and final episode in South Park's Game of Thrones-style, next-gen console wars storyline aired last night, wrapping up with Kenny as an anime princess, the Black Friday mob, George RR Martin on a horse and a Red Robin wedding. And it includes a line that would fit in most Game of Thronesepisodes: "Whose betrayal is this?"
We usually hate to spoil the ending of anything, but in this case it's both obvious and harmless: The episode closes with an ad for Ubisoft's South ParkRPG, The Stick of Truth. The US audience can check out all of the drama atSouth Park Studios.

PS4’s early advantage over Xbox One is purely because it retails for £80 less.
That’s according to Michael Pachter, who has downplayed the importance of PS4’s technical advantage or any of the controversy that has dogged Microsoft since E3.
"The reason Sony beats Microsoft is solely the price," Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter spoke at the Game Monetization USA Summit in San Francisco,GamesIndustry reports.
"Microsoft loses the next generation unless they cut price. If Microsoft drops its price to $399, I expect the sales to be equal to the PS4."
However, Pachter’s long-term forecast for the future of the console sector is far from rosy.
"I don't know where they get those numbers. I don't think you're ever going to see 500 million consoles out there," Pachter said of estimates that PS4 and Xbox One will set new hardware sales records.
“The next generation of consoles is probably the last. We expect frequent model updates instead of new consoles. I think the PC is going to make a comeback, the PC will be the hub of all this stuff.

Curve Studios, the developer behind Stealth Inc. – A Clone in the Dark, has announced some new DLC for the PS3 and PS Vita versions.
The "Lost Clones" add-on slaps another 20 levels, including new Trophies and a DLC-specific leaderboard, on top of the base game. "Lost Clones" is available for download today for $3.99 in North America and £2.99 in Europe. In Curve Studios' announcement post, the studio says it currently has no plans to release the DLC for the iOS version, though it hasn't ruled out the possibility.
Stealth Inc. – A Clone in the Dark, previously known as Stealth Bastard on other platforms, is a stealth puzzle game where players must stick to the shadows while guiding a clone through a testing facility chock full of traps and robot sentries. The game is both cross-buy and cross-save enabled on PlayStation platforms.

The top-selling PS4 game on the US PlayStation Store is thatgamecompany's gorgeous petal-collecting game, Flower.
Granted, if you include PS3-to-PS4 'Digital Upgrades', the list is a whole lot more predictable; Call of Duty: Ghosts ahead of Battlefield 4 and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. But remove upgrade downloads, leaving only PS4 games that were newly purchased via the PS Store, and the game that comes out on top is, rather surprisingly, Flower.

No pricing information has been mentioned, but it will come free for Season Pass subscribers.Blackbeard's Wrath contains three new characters including the aforementioned legendary pirate. Also included are The Orchid, a Templar-friendly deadly assassin grew up in China, and The Jaguar, an Aztec warrior from Mexico.ORIGINAL STORY: An upcoming expansion for Assassin's Creed 4's multiplayer will allow you to play as Blackbeard.The unannounced Blackbeard's Wrath DLC will include at least three new character classes for the game's online mode - The Jaguar, The Orchid and Blackbeard himself.Mention is made of Blackbeard within the Trophy descriptions - for example, you'll net the "Queen Anne's Revenge" award for performing an acrobatic kill and a gun kill in less than 10 seconds while playing as the pirate.Ubisoft has yet to officially name the pack, but previously hinted that more multiplayer content would be on the way as part of the game's Season Pass.Tim Browne, lead game designer on Assassin's Creed 3 and 4's multiplayer, has also confirmed the details via Twitter.Its Trophies appeared last night on PS3Trophies.org alongside those for Freedom Cry, the previously-announced single-player DLC that will star Edward Kenway's first mate Adewale.No release dates have been set for the content.

Grand Theft Auto Online's content creator may not have an official release date yet, but Rockstar will be trickling out its new features in the form of the deathmatch & race creators beta, which goes live tomorrow as a free update.
This will give players the ability to create their own races and competitive shooting arenas for other players to play, rate and share via the Rockstar Games Social Club. The beta will allow players to create and customise jobs for following modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Race, GTA Race, and Rally Race."With access to some of the same tools as our own game design and development team, you can craft your own custom blood-soaked gunfights, high-octane street races, screaming jet dogfights and more," the developer wrote on its News Wire.Later this month Rockstar will add Capture mode, its squad-based open-world variant of Capture the Flag. Details on Capture are slim, but Rockstar noted that it will have four variants: Raid, Contend, Hold, and GTA. More details are said to follow next week.Looking ahead to next year, Rockstar is teasing "Story Mode updates," which sounds like PR-speak for single-player DLC. "For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto 5, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor's action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andreas." Sadly, that's all it's saying for now.Elsewhere on the docket for Rockstar are online heists. "Heists are currently in development and we are working very hard to get them as polished and as fun as they can be," the developer stated.

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's upcoming add-on Freedom Cry will include new locations and hints at the next Assassin's Creed game, Ubisoft has told Eurogamer.But - sadly - it won't include a kraken, despite the DLC's developer Ubisoft Quebec initially considering the idea.Freedom Cry focuses on first mate-turned-assassin Adéwalé, 15 years after the main game takes place. But it also weaves back into the main AC4 narrative by featuring at least one returning character and "a notable object", creative director Wesley Pincombe explained. AC4: Freedom Cry's Wesley Pincombe.
The add-on moves the action to Port-au-Prince, capital of modern day Haiti, a location entirely new to the game."You're going to a new setting with new crowd life," Pincombe said. "New enemies, new AI. Port-au-Prince is a French colony - there are no French colonies in Black Flag so that is all new."The inclusion of fresh areas is a response to Assassin's Creed 3 DLC The Tyranny of King Washington, which repurposed that game's existing world with an alternate reality twist."The alternate universe was a great idea and each episode had its own set theme and abilities, but we wanted to focus on one DLC and put all of our content in there. We also wanted to give the player new locations. In King Washington we revisted locations - we changed the themes and settings - but we wanted to push it further."Freedom Cry will also see a greater focus on the series' core Assassin's vs. Templars theme, Pincombe added, and shed a little extra light on the future of Assassin's Creed 4 hero Edward Kenway."This is primarily an Adéwalé story - Edward isn't present - but we do shoot a couple of lines back and forth with him reminiscing about his past."Also included in Freedom Cry will be a few clues at the next main Assassin's Creed game - presumably out next November and titled with a big number five."There are some [hints] but our fans will only discover them in the future," Pincombe teased. "They're in your face, but you'd have to be a hardcore fan to understand them." Keep an eye out for anything to do with the French Revolution/Japan/Victorian London/Egypt then.Finally, something that won't be included in the game are any fantasy elements - such as the fan-requested appearance of the kraken."I'm going to have to disappoint some people - no, we didn't put the kraken in," Pincombe sighs. "I'll even say it was part of our conception at one point. We were going to do some fantasy missions to do with piracy and the Caribbean at one point but we changed our direction in conception."We wanted to continue the story of Black Flag in the DLC. Aside from the fantasy stuff we were looking at different types of assassins - we were looking at Mary Reade and Duncan Walpole to figure out their origin stories but Adewalé really had a strong presence on screen."

The creator of Fallout 4 hoax thesurvivor2299.com has held a Reddit AMA to discuss his trolling of the series' fanbase, and explain his aim of forcing Bethesda into showing something of the unannounced project. Sad piano.
In a vitriol-filled Reddit AMA, the faker admitted he had finally halted the site after Bethesda got in contact.It previously featured a countdown clock and several bizarre Fallout-themed puzzles which attracted continued attention from the gaming press. It now states "That's All Folks!" accompanied by sad piano music."Some men just want to watch the world burn," the faker explained. "I wanted to force Bethesda to reveal something during VGX, and bring [the Reddit] Fallout community together (for at least 3 weeks). Unfortunately, this plan failed."Had Bethesda not got in contact, the faker had next planned to troll visitors with a CGI trailer."I'm one of these 'selfish bastards with a lot of money' so I wanted to release a CGI trailer. But Pete [Hines, Bethesda's PR boss] killed my plans. Maybe I'll release it later along with the script, so somebody else can use it... I don't wan't to piss off Bethesda at this time even more."The hoaxer claimed to have received over a dozen death threats due to the stunt.The whole operation cost $900 (about £550) for website hosting and to create a phone number for visitors to call. "That's nothing for me," he concluded. "I know I'm a douche."

In the next story I will try to explain the new features of the PS Vita as a scene is concerned. Many users are confused about the hearsay news in recent months about SDK's , exploits and other terms for some known and some not, but what is the real situation?
So far simpler alternative to an unofficial section uses outside of games, demos and multimedia featuring the PS Vita , has been using the SDK provided by Sony that allows the execution of homebrew created by users that have already been published several on the web, but there are other ways in which the scene of this console grows significantly, for starters, let's talk about the exploits .
Exploits PS Vita
It is clear from the beginning of the news SceneBeta is not entirely in accordance with the practices of breach of security of commercial games and it may separate malicious use based on these.
In recent months many users have heard about the creation of many exploits . To start, we must clarify what the term means. An exploit is a technique by which software developers create abnormal or undesirable behaviors in other software. Regarding the PS Vita , the exploits that have been created are aimed at commercial games PSP . I'll explain better: As all owners of PS Vita will know, or at least the vast majority, the PS Vita not only run specific games for the platform, but also can play titles of PSP that can be purchased via PS Store. The internal software of the console has a kind of emulator that is able to perform all the actions of a PSP usual. Well, all exploits released so far have been directed towards this field, seeking only software vulnerabilities games PSP , as was done earlier in the scene of PSP games like Lumines, Patapon 2 and a few more.
What is bad about this? Several things, first, if we are " free "(and I put it in quotes because it is not a full release as I will explain later) our PS Vita , we have to toil away money in buying an original game PS Store , not only that, but we'll have to do it fast, because nothing brings to light a new exploit , Sony is quick to remove it from the PS Store to publish several days after the vulnerability addressed preventing the performance of the software. The second negative is that it is not an actual release of the console, but access to internal emulator for the PSP , so it is limited use of the "liberation" to run homebrews for PSP using a software known as Vita Half Byte Loader ( VHBL ), and not all are compatible homebrews. Below and to not create too much confusion and clarify an important point differentiative separates the exploits of two classes:
User user mode exploit or exploit :
It is a type of exploit for commercial games in which there is access to the privileges given to us as a Custom Firmware for PSP . This means that actions like run commercial games PSP or PS One ( PSX ) are discarded because they are simply not granted privileges. All exploits released to date for PS Vita , users have been so.
The exploits user have been released so are the coder wololo , (in collaboration with other coders as neur0n and teck4 among others) are known for creating the Half Byte LoaderSoftware which is used in the own Vita to run homebrews. The games used for this are as follows:
2012-09-08
- MotorStorm Artic Edge (already patched vulnerability and corrected)
- Everybody's Tennis (already patched vulnerability and corrected)
- Super Collapse 3 (already patched vulnerability and corrected)
* Video functioning exploit in the game "Motorstorm Artic Edge" (currently unusable)
- Monster Hunter Unite (retired from PS Store, about to leave for the game VHBL)
* Video demonstration of the exploit in Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.
List of Changes in eCFW TNV-4 (05/12/2013)

VHBL Important Information (05/11/2013)
11/05/2013
With the recent release of the new 3.00 OFW for PSVita console, Sony surprised and plugs a Frostegater exploit the coder .
This exploit is in the game:
Fieldrunners
and if you do not upgrade to 3.00 OFW can use it, sure to buy the game (if still available) have to do it via PS3 and pass it to the Vita .
VHBL Important Information (11/10/2013)
The name of the game to use the VHBL on OFW 2.61 and unfortunately is only available in Japanese Store is:
Powerful Pro Jikkyu Ketteiban Yakyu 2012. (Eye PSP version).
Remember if you want to buy the game should have a Japanese account and buy the title before Sony remove that game. Personally the only available at that store do not recommend its purchase.
VHBL Important Information (08/21/2013)
It has confirmed the release of the next exploit for OFW 2.60, by the coder Acid_snake. So stay tuned as it is 4 exploits and the names of the games are:
- Arcade Darts.
- Airhockey Arcade & Bowling.
- World of Pool.
- Arcade Pool (Arcade Pool & Snooker in Europe)
I advise that if in 2.12 does not update because they can use the Total Noob exploit and harness the support for high memory .
The exploit was also discovered by others and decided to make a release on your own website, after confirming that it is real, we have to do it publicly and you can download the game (s) before Sony remove it from the Store .
VHBL Important Information (22/07/2013)
The game has already been removed from the Pstore , so just waiting to release the VHBL 2.12 for this exploit.
It's time to reveal the name of the game that will be used for VHBL 2.12 . This time thanks to Qwikrazor87's found an exploit that user mode and has ported the VHBL for firmware 2.12 .
The name of the game for VHBL in OFW 2.12 is:
- Gamocracy One: Legend of Robot ($ 3.99 U.S. PSN).
If you are interested in using the VHBL 2.12 and you can use your PSVita to run homebrews and emulators , you have to buy the game immediately and most importantly to have it installed on your PSVita .
The game is in the U.S. Store, but may follow this advice page Wololoto reach the title in the Store Eur, more is not a 100% effective , so it is at your own risk trying to get in Eur Store
VHBL Important Information (23/03/2013)
Now thanks to TomTomDu80 and for users who are on your PS Vita 2.06 can refresh homebrews through VHBL , for that you must make haste to buy the game:
- OverKill Apache (EL price is Eur 2.49 € and 2.99 $ U.S.)
I remind you that you purchase and download on your Vita and make a copy of the game through the CMA to your PC.
Usually, when we have VHBL files will be placed here.
NOTE: Remember that VHBL prohibit running isos.
Important Information (11/09/2012)
It's time for those who were able to download the game Monster Hunter Freedom Unite before Sony withdraw the game from the store, so it is that we have the arrival of new VHBL r160 to exploit Neur0n , remember it is only for version 1.80 and our latest VITA consoles.
Stay tuned for the full story:
VHBL r160 for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSVITA v1.80) .
Remember that if you could not download the game before September 10 will not help them download the game after this date , as the game is fully patched and therefore can not use the VHBL.
Where and when new exploits are released?
If you want to take cognizance of the release of new commercial exploits you can do on the site / blog wololoand in their forums. However since SceneBeta try acercaros all exploits they come out, but if you do not want to lose you the exploits before Sony remove them from the PS Store would highly recommend checking your blog every day, since virtually anytime and without notice (for obvious reasons) the release.
All this as the limited access to the famous " user exploit "but is that all?
Kernel exploit or exploit all privileges :
2012-09-08
The difference between this and exploit user or user mode exploit , is that in this type of exploit all privileges are granted, so actions like run ISOs commercial games, PSX and even access the virtual memory that emulates the flash0 console PSP within the Vita is possible. Currently very few known kernel exploits , and those known to be published. If we think carefully would be stupid, as the developers have concluded. AskEarn.org: all the work of finding a vulnerability that allows access to the kernel to Sony you patch it to 24 hours? Not worth it. Therefore, developers are looking for different ways to exploit that somehow reach more people and keeps more than 24 hours.
Here's a kernel exploit the known coder Davee (one of the developers of Custom Firmware HEN in PSP ):
If you want to take cognizance of the possible (but unlikely in the short term) publication of the kernel exploit of Davee , often you can visit their websiteOr follow him on twitter @ DaveeFTW since from the developers twitter one is able to learn about their progress, albeit from SceneBeta I try to bring novelty about this project.

The Cher share button on players' DualShock 4 controllers has been pressed 10.9 million times according to Sony, which revealed some impressive numbers behind its PS4 livestreaming services today. For starters, Twitch and Ustream have hosted nearly 800,000 gameplay streams and over 7.1 million spectator sessions on the home console since its launch.
Sony says that ten percent of all Twitch-broadcasted content has come from PS4 systems since its US launch on November 15, based on the average number of minutes broadcast. That adds up to 20 million minutes of live broadcasting from the console, the length of 21,808.66 consecutive spins of Cher's entire discography. Additionally, PS4 Ustream broadcasts average 31 minutes in length, enough time to listen to "" 7.35 times. Though let's be honest, we could croon "wish your heart was a heart of stone" much longer than that, but we really don't think we're strong enough.
The livestreaming figures follow last week's announcement that over 2.1 million PS4 systems have been sold globally. Once new PS4 owners start to unwrap their new consoles over the holidays, this gameplay broadcasting beat will only go on.
Update: Additionally, Twitch told Joystiq that the number of broadcasters using its services increased over 100,000 in the month of November since the launch of the PS4, up from around 600,000 in October.

The Share button on PS4 has proven a big hit with users.
Sony reckons that since the console’s US launch on November 15th 10 per cent of all broadcasts on streaming video site Twitch have come from PS4 systems. These broadcasts have lasted an average of 31 minutes each.
In addition, PS4’s Share Menu has been accessed 10.9m times.
All of which has helped Twitch increase the number of broadcasts on its network from 600k to 700k between October and November.
“PlayStation 4 is specifically designed so people can share their gaming experiences and interest in streaming live gameplay has surpassed our wildest expectations,” Sony Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida said.
“We’re very excited to see gamers embrace live streaming from their PS4 system and we look forward to seeing how PlayStation gamers advance social gaming in the coming years.”
Twitch’s VP or marketing Matthew DiPietro added: "When people look back at the true game changers of 2013, the integration of Twitch into the current generation consoles will be on the short list.”

Sony could be preparing a new version of its Move controller for PS4.
That’s if a patent unearthed by CVG for a device called a ‘Flat Joystick Controller’ that bears more than a passing resemblance to the PS3’s Move but features a touchpad style interface on the front.
"A controller device to interface with a computer gaming system includes a body having a handle and an object disposed at one end of the handle,” the patent reads.
“A touch surface is disposed on one side of the handle. The touch surface has an indicator that is identified by a surface characteristic on the touch surface. The touch surface provides an area for receiving directionality control in response to interfacing by a finger of a user.
"In addition to the touch surface, a plurality of buttons are disposed on the body. A circuitry is disposed in the body of the controller. The circuitry is configured to receive data indicative of a directionality control and transmit the data to a game console for impacting an action by a program executing on the computer gaming system."
The most recent sales data for Move stood at 15m units as of November 2012.

UK retail giant GAME says all customers who pre-ordered a PS4 and Xbox One for delivery before Christmas will get their console ahead of December 25th.
It follows a number of complaints from customers who have had their next-gen games machine cancelled.
GAME claims it has sold hundreds of thousands of PS4 and Xbox One consoles, but admits a 'small proportion' of customers have received cancellation notices for various reasons - such as credit card expiry or bank issues.
Yet the company says these pre-orders are safe, and have guaranteed that anyone that bought a PS4 or Xbox One for delivery before December 25th, will have their console to play on Christmas day.
"There has been huge demand for both of the next generation consoles and we're delighted to have been able to bring so much stock to the UK market," said UK marketing director at GAME.
"There are literally hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers who we've helped start their next-gen experience.
"There are a small proportion of orders which have been affected by payment processing issues which are out of our control and we're working with each customer individually to make sure their issues are resolved.
"We know that these customers are desperate for us to give them reassurance that they won't miss out on their console and that's exactly what we're doing. We've been proactively contacting pre-order customers and will continue to work closely with them. Any customer who pre-ordered in time to have their console guaranteed for Christmas will get the opportunity to buy a console pre-Christmas - that's a promise.
"We're absolutely committed to bringing as much stock as possible to the UK market. We were delighted to be able to bring additional stock to market for launch and we will continue fulfilling all our pre-order customers' orders."
The PS4 and Xbox One have been a phenomenal success for UK retail, generating hundreds of millions of pounds in extra revenue this Christmas.

Coordinates set for consumer backlash disaster!
Last month Zavvi accidentally supplied some customers who had pre-ordered Vita title Tearaway with the Tearaway hardware bundle that includes a Vita console.
At the time it asked customers if they’d be kind enough to return them – a request that the vast majority laughed away, believing that they are under no legal obligation to do so. So today’s news that the retailer is threatening said customers with legal action if they do not return the hardware certainly comes as surprise.
“We write further to recent email correspondence that we have sent you regarding your attempt to purchase PS Vita game Tearaway from our Zavvi website on or around May 10th 2013,” a letter published onDarkZero stated.
“As you are aware, as a result of a technical error, you were not sent Tearaway (priced at approximately £19.99) and instead were sent a PS Vita (priced at approximately £169.99). This was an error on our part and we apologise for any inconvenience that this has caused you.
“We have tried to contact you on numerous occasions to give you the opportunity to return this item to us (at our cost and at no inconvenience to yourself) but to date you have refused to do so.
“This is our final notice to politely remind you that you did not order, or pay for, a PS Vita and if you fail to contact us by 5pm (UK time) on December 10th 2013 to arrabge a convenient time for the PS Vita to be collected we reserve the right to enforce any and/or all legal remedies available to us.”
As What Consumer points out: "The Distance Selling Regulations are very clear on this. If you’ve been sent unsolicited goods, you are entitled to treat them as an unconditional gift and do with them as you choose. You are not required to keep them for any amount of time and you are certainly not required to pay for them. Any attempt to demand payment (by threatening means or otherwise) is unlawful."
UPDATE: The CAB states the following under the section 'You’ve received goods or services you didn’t ask for':
"You have no obligation to return the goods to the trader or allow the trader to collect the goods. However, it would be reasonable for you to contact the trader to explain what has happened and give them a chance to collect the goods from you."
There is arguably a certain amount of ambiguity, however, with the CAB adding:
"The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations say you have a right to keep goods delivered to you that you didn’t ask for. But if goods are sent to you by mistake, you need to contact whoever sent them to let them know and ask them to collect the goods. You might get goods sent by mistake if they are meant for someone else or you’ve been sent duplicate or extra items on top of what you ordered.
"If you receive goods you have not ordered and which haven’t been sent by mistake, you can treat the goods as an unconditional gift and you can do what you want with them."

PS4 sales are comfortably outpacing Xbox One sales in Spain, according to the country's top PlayStation executive.
PlayStation Spain and Portugal CEO James Armstrong (pictured) reportedly told MeriStation today that PS4 is outselling Xbox One by more than three units to one.
 The console has sold about 80,000 units in Spain since the EuropeanPS4 release date of November 29, he claimed.
Armstrong also said Sony is working to fulfill another 12,000 to 15,000 pre-orders that have yet to be met due to supply constraints.
Having debuted in North America on November 15, Sony said on December 3 that worldwide PS4 sales stood at 2.1 million.
Having gone on sale in 13 markets on November 22, Xbox One salestopped one million units in less than 24 hours, according to Microsoft.

Triple Town developer Spry Fox has explained how its upcoming roguelike puzzler Road Not Taken will work.
"What might a roguelike look like if it featured a thinker and explorer instead of a traditional warrior? If being clever was more important than being strong? That's a design challenge we've attempted to tackle with Road Not Taken," wrote Spry Fox's chief creative officer Daniel Cook on the PlayStation Blog.Assuming the role of a magical ranger, you'll need to save lost children in a forest comprised of a series of single-screen puzzles. Each screen's exit is blocked and you'll have to sort out what to do to unlock it. Given that you're a magic wizard, you can levitate any object and toss it around. The kicker is that every action you take depletes your stamina, and when that's all gone it's game over. No restarts. No continues.Furthermore, you'll encounter all sorts of objects with properties you don't understand, and you'll have to tinker about with them to discover their purpose. "Sometimes I think of Road Not Taken as this giant treasure box of secrets," Cook said. "Some objects magically combine into new objects that restore your stamina or serve as powerful tools for you. Other objects seem totally useless until you discover the context that makes them helpful."For example, you may see a goat defecating all over. But is he friend or foe? Is his poop a burden or a boon? Only through close observation and experimentation will you unlock the secrets of this goat, and his poop.It's not all light-hearted humour though. Aside from the fact that you can fail to save several lost, shivering children, there will be other tragic hurdles for you to overcome. Or not. Cook has only teased a darker, more thought-provoking underlying current to this puzzling adventure. "Eventually, with a lot of cleverness, you'll master the forest. You'll rescue all the children. And then you need to deal with the rest of your life, which as it turns out isn't so easy," he noted. "What does 'victory' mean when you're still coming home to a sick loved one, or a stricken friend who can't be helped?"Good question. I guess we'll find out when Road Not Taken launches in early 2014 for PS4, Vita, PC and Mac.

Gran Turismo 6's microtransactions were always a controversial feature. Some people just don't like being asked to grind for in-game content when they know that the barrier to their prize could be waved with a few quid, while others appreciate the optional shortcut. Critics of the model will be delighted to learn that it's all for naught at the moment, as a glitch has been discovered in Polyphony's latest racer that can earn you a cool 20 million credits - about £120 / €150 - in under three minutes. Can you resist The Cheat?
As discovered by YouTuber and verified by our own Rich Leadbetter, there are four simple steps to this economy-breaking process: - Ensure you have the 1.01 patch installed and at least 1,000,000 credits.
- Buy Mercedes-Benz Concept from GT vision.
- Delete the GT6 game data from the dashboard under Game Data Utility (i.e. not the save data).
- Launch the game again and sell this car - now listed as model "2055" - for a whopping 333,993,856 credits. Of course, the game caps your credit count at 20 million, so it just gives you that instead.
Granted this essentially breaks the game as you'll never have to work for anything ever again, but if you really want that sweet Jaguar XJ13, you know what to do. Obviously this exploit will get corrected in the near future, so if you can't resist the lure of the dark side you'd best act fast.For more info on Gran Turismo 6's microtransactions, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida called them "an alternative path for busy people." Our Martin Robinson further clarified in his Gran Turismo 6 review that "if you weren't aware of their inclusion beforehand, you wouldn't know they're there at all. The economy is, to all intents and purposes, identical to Gran Turismo 5's."

Baird Equity Research’s Colin Sebastian has claimed that sales of PS4 and Xbox One are neck-and-neck.
Microsoft just announced global sales of 2m units for Xbox One throughout the machine’s first 18 days.
That’s roughly the same as PS4’s sales throughout its first 18 days, although it was only available in North America for its first two weeks.
“While many industry forecasts expected Sony’s PS4 to establish an early lead over Xbox One, we continue to expect relatively balanced sales by the end of the launch window,” Sebastian added.
“We note that PS4 tends to see more demand at specialty retail (core gamer focus) with the Xbox One getting a higher profile at big box retailers.”
“As such, we believe each platform is on track to meet our high-end sales forecast of 3m units by the end of 2013, and 5-6m units cumulatively by the end of Q1.”
Sebastian goes on to predict that NPD will tomorrow announce November sales of 1.3-1.4m for PS4 in the US and 800-900k for Xbox One, which came out a week later in the territory.
General sales trends from other data, however, tend to suggest that PS4 sales are tracking 66 per cent ahead of Xbox One.

This is Deal 6 of PlayStation Europe's 12 Deals of Christmas, practically the halfway point in essentially a December's worth of PSN savings. Today's is a good one for those who missed out on Velocity Ultra when it was on PlayStation Plus. The puzzler/shoot-em-up hybrid is down to £2.39 (€3/AU$4.35) on Vita, and stays at that price across today and tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the super-crazy but super-good Saints Row 4 plummets from its lofty PSN price of £50 to the much more affordable figure of £20 (€30/AU$340) - it's also staying discounted for 48 hours. If you're looking to shave off some more savings, a PlayStation Plus subscription razors a further 10 percent on both games.

Sony released the latest PlayStation 4 system update this morning, and apparently it's a rather minor one. Habitual followers of the firmware scene will be au fait with the words "system software stability," which the 1.52 firmware is said to improve.
We'll be looking see if there's any more to it than that, but in the meantime you can check out the update for yourself: You can manually download it via the PS4's Settings menu, or grab it and future updates automatically by enabling Automatic Uploads and Downloads.

 A new Sony patent was published earlier this week detailing a controller that looks like a cross between your TV's remote and Sony's underloved Move controller.
Dubbed "Flat Joystick Controller" for the purposes of the patent filing, the device is described as having a Move-like ball attached to its end, a small complement of buttons on its handle and a touchscreen that "provides an area for receiving directionality control in response to interfacing by a finger of a user." Translation: The touchscreen doubles as a joystick for games that require directional input.
With the Move already in existence, why create another, very similar device? Sony's summary explains: "Broadly speaking, the present invention allows for three-dimensional with a multi-positional controller. The multi-positional controller enables control for a variety of applications and simulations while providing an intuitive interface to interact in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional renderings of the computer programs being executed through a game client."
This being a patent, there's no telling when or if this Flat Joystick Controller will ever be released to retail, or for that matter, what name Sony will choose to replace "Flat Joystick Controller." Whatever happens, it's clear that motion control is key in the minds of Sony's engineers. Expect many more years of flailing your arms at and near expensive electronics.

Sony continues its PS Mobile promotion with another pair of free downloads today. If you have a PlayStation Certified device or PS Vita, you can grab Super Crate Box and Fuel Tiracas for free right now.
Super Crate Box, from Vlambeer, is an arcade action game where players must battle waves of encroaching enemies while collecting crates – which have weapons inside of them – on a multi-tiered 2D level. We found the PS Vita installment to be the definitive version.
Fuel Tiracas, a PS Mobile launch game from FutureLab, is a resource-management puzzle variation on the classic Whac-a-Mole carnival game. Players must boot up generators in the correct order so the titular planet of Tiracas can have breathable air.
To grab either (or both) of these games, simply head into the PlayStatin Mobile section of the PlayStation Store on PS Vita or, if you're on a PlayStation Certified device, simply head into the PlayStation Mobile store.

 The adorably addictive Bit.Trip pseudo-series of technicolor games is expanding again with word that the sequel to Bit.Trip Runner will make its Vita handheld debut on December 17.
Officially titled "Bit.Trip Presents ... Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien,"Runner2 is a game in which your character runs, constantly and with no regard for his or her personal safety. It's your job as the player to use a few simple maneuvers (jumping and sliding, for example) to ensure that your on-screen pal doesn't meet a grisly death by dashing off the side of a cliff or sprinting into something sharp. It's a simple formula, but as the cult success of Bit.Trip Runner and the console iterations of Runner2 demonstrate, it's also incredibly addictive.
The Vita version of Runner2 is said to be identical to its console counterparts, right down to its DLC offerings. The Good Friends Character Pack DLC (an addition that allows you to play as the protagonists of Psychonauts, Spelunkyand other esoteric hits) will be available alongside Runner2 when it launches on December 17.
On debut, the game will set you back $10 on the PlayStation Network Store, while the DLC is priced at $3. PlayStation Plus subscribers can expect a discount on both, with the game being reduced to $8 and the DLC to $2.09.

First wave of educational institutions on board to receive Sony’s new console
Five European universities have signed up to be among the first educational institutions to receive PlayStation 4 development kits.
Birmingham City University – Gamer Camp, Sheffield Hallam University, University of Abertay Dundee, NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands and Playground Squad in Sweden will all be incorporating PS4 development tools as key teaching elements within their games courses.
The partnership kicks off the first stage of SCEE’s plans to make PS4 hardware available to its university partners in 2014 as part of the PlayStation First licensing programme.
PS4 dev kits will be available as a follow-on licensing programme to university members registered on the PlayStation Vita dev kit programme. PlayStation First is currently seeking to hear from universities interested in PS Vita game development.
Interested parties should email PlayStation First: applications@ps-edu.scedev.net
“We want the next generation of developers to have the skills that our industry needs. The next generation of PlayStation developers are in education right now, and getting students working on PS4 and PS Vita means we’ll have graduates who can hit the ground running when they enter our studios,” explained Luke Savage, academic development manager for SCEE.
Shahid Ahmad, senior business development manager at SCEE added: “Given that there are more developers than ever before, we want to intensify our outreach and support to this community. PlayStation First is at the forefront of bringing new developers to PlayStation. It’s student developers that will influence the future of video games on our platforms, and we’re delighted to support their growing ambitions.”
The release of PS4 development kits is the latest initiative of PlayStation First, which establishes partnerships with university courses to foster the “next generation of PlayStation-savvy developers”.
Sony Computer Entertainment has previously helped support universities by offering PS3 dev kits as well as working closely with local developer networks.
Earlier this year, Develop looked at how PS4 and Xbox One might affect games education.

Amnesia developer Frictional Games has released a new trailer for SOMA, its next horror game due out in 2015 for PC and PlayStation 4.The video, below, shows off an environment captured directly from within the game. To coincide with the release the Swedish developer published a blog post revealing detail on its design philosophy for the game."We want the player to constantly feel as if they are inside a flowing narrative," designer Thomas Grip wrote."It is so common that a game is distinctly split into story and puzzle/action moments. We want to blur the boundaries here and make it impossible to distinguish between the two. Whatever the player does it should feel as if it is part of the story. We do not want to have sections that simply feel like blockers to the next narrative moment. From start to finish the player should be drenched in a living, breathing world of storytelling."A good example is how we design puzzles. Instead of having the puzzle by itself, as a separate activity, it always springs from and is connected to some aspect of the story. For instance, if the player encounters a locked door, there are more reasons for getting it open than simply to progress. There are always short term narrative reasons and rewards for getting it unlocked. On top of this, the very act of solving it results in the player taking part of a narrative scene."Encounters with hostile beings are handled in the same way. A creature will never attack you without good reason; they never do it out of pure gameplay necessity. We want every encounter to feel like a bit of storytelling is happening. To get this working properly, almost every single creature has unique AI."   http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...s4-horror-game
Then there's a note on thematics."SOMA is meant to explore deep subjects such as consciousness and the nature of existence," Grip continued."We could have done this with cutscenes and long conversations, but we chose not to. We want players to become immersed in these thematics, and the discussions to emerge from within themselves."It feels wrong to just shove information down the player's throat. What I find so exciting about having these thematics in a game is that the player is an active participant. There are plenty of books and movies that cover these sort of subjects, but video games provide a personal involvement that other mediums lack. We want to explore this to the fullest degree"Just like all of the other design goals, there is a bit of risk in this. It requires the player to approach the game in a certain way and it will be impossible to make it work for everyone. But for those people where it succeeds, it will be a much more profound experience. I also find that it is when you are dealing with uncertainties that you are doing the most with the medium, and am extremely excited to see how far it will take us."

Don Bradman Cricket 14 - that other cricket game - has been delayed.It was due out this year. Now it will launch at some undetermined time in 2014."In order to bring the best possible game to the market at the best possible time we have decided to move the date into 2014," read an update on the game's Facebook page."We are working to get the game to all markets simultaneously and will advise as soon as we can of an exact release date once it is known."Could we be in for a repeat of the disaster that was the launch of Ashes Cricket 2013 - a game that was cancelled after it released because it was so terrible?Don Bradman Cricket 14 is developed by Australian studio Big Ant and is due out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It's under license with the Bradman Foundation, and has been in development for four years, apparently.

Sony’s next-gen console arrives in more EMEA territories bringing global total to 48
PlayStation 4 has gone on sale in another 16 countries today, including South Africa.
Consumers in the Czech Republic, Greece, Slovakia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and South Africa can all pick Sony’s latest games console.
PS4 has also been released today in Bolivia, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.
This now brings the total number of countries in which PS4 is available to 48. The system launched in North America on November 15th and arrived two weeks later in the UK and mainland Europe on November 29th.
The system has so far surpassed the two million unit milestone and has already become the fastest-selling console in UK history – besting the title held by its sister console, the PSP.
By contrast, Microsoft’s Xbox One is currently available in 13 countries including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Spain, the UK, USA and New Zealand.
Xbox One went on sale on November 22nd in the US, and Microsoft now claims its console has outsold the PS4 in that territory.
Both systems are yet to launch in Japan, which has traditionally been viewed as a key market for new gaming hardware. PS4 and Xbox One will go on sale there in early 2014.
Microsoft’s plans to bring its next-gen system to Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland “as soon as possible” in 2014.

 The relatively small number of AAA launch titles is giving early indie games a chance to capture their own PS4 fanbases
Free-to-play games have walked a difficult line on PC and mobile devices. On the one hand, they’re a positive extension of the demo concept of yore – a chance for players to try out a new title without having to stump up cash for something which may, ultimately, disappoint. On the other, some publishers have come under fire for artificially padding their games with XP grinding, with progression technically possible through play alone, but games tacitly encouraging players to speed their advancement through micro-transactions. ‘Free-to-play’ has become synonymous for many with ‘fee-to-pay’, and while games like Hawken and League of Legends show how to do it right, you only need to flick through the Apple and Android ‘Free’ Games sections for examples of titles that are more money hungry than they first let on.Now, free-to-play has come to PS4, with games like Digital Extremes’ Warframe and Gaijin’s War Thunder (no relation) available to players through the PSN Store. And with comparatively few offerings available to PS4 players at launch, they’re not just the vanguard of the free-to-play model, but also champions of Sony’s much vaunted indie focus. Is the PS4′s audience ready for an avalanche of independent, middle-budget titles? The answer, if the first few weeks’ reception is anything to go by, seems to be that they are.“I hate to sound like a shill,” says Digital Extremes’ Steve Sinclair, “but Warframe definitely [surpassed expectations], especially considering how early we are. Now the pressure is on to really bang out the updates and growth on PS4 and make sure those players feel part of the larger Warframe whole. We don’t want them thinking they’re sitting at the kids table – they deserve more.”

[Mori] wanted to use his keyboard and mouse to play his favorite games on the PS4, so he decided to modify his Dualshock4 controller to feed it custom input signals.
In the heart of this build is an STM32F407 discovery board, which is connected to a USB hub. To perform this hack, [Mori] tore open the Dualshock4 controller to find the PCB traces coming from the sticks and buttons. He then used the STM32F407 and 2 Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) to create similar signals. Unfortunately for us, [Mori] only released the schematics but not the firmware. Our guess is that he had to configure the microcontroller as a USB host, enumerate the mouse/keyboard, parse the HID reports and feed the controller the corresponding inputs.
We embedded a video of the hack in action after the break. If you own a PS4, you may also want to see how to disable the Dualshock LEDs.

The less-than-coordinated of us know that navigating spaces can at times be harder than it looks. As often as we may stumble, Furmins have it one step harder - they're just limbless balls of fur waiting on an omniscient power to guide them to their destinations. Their puzzle-oriented plight is lining up a pathway from iOS devices to Vitas on December 17.
Compared to Resogun, Furmins is a less explosive effort from developer Housemarque that makes a puzzle out of the journey from Point A to Point B. Players construct potential solutions for any given level in Furmins' Setup mode, which pauses the environment to allow for a path to be constructed out of objects. Once a solution is ready, switching to the Action mode lets the scenario play out, resulting in glory or a return to the phase of blueprints. If you're feeling particularly crafty, you can build with the bits of candy strewn across levels in mind.
The PlayStation Blog notes that Furmins has "100+ unique levels," but it does not suggest a price. The iOS version, Furmins HD, is currently $2.99 on the App Store, but you can try the first world of Furmins Free at no charge.

NIS America has set a date for its upcoming European launch of Falcom's PlayStation Vita action-RPG Ys: Memories of Celceta, announcing that the game will hit store shelves on February 21. A digital release via PSN will follow on February 25.
Memories of Celceta reached North American shores last month, marking the long-running series' first appearance on the Vita. A Silver Anniversary Editionaccompanied the launch, offering up a soundtrack collection and other bonus trinkets.
While many Ys games never saw an official release outside of Japan, dedicated fans have localized many previously-untranslated sequels in recent years. Following the release of a translation patch for Ys 5 earlier this month, every core series entry is now localized and accessible for English-speaking fans.

The 2014 BMW M4 Coupé is slated for public release in June of next year, but thanks to the car industry connections of Polyphony Digital, you can drive the thing right this very minute from the convenience of Gran Turismo 6.
But wait, wasn't the M4 only being officially debuted two days ago? It was, but like we mentioned, Polyphony has deep connections. Instead of waiting for production models to roll off the line, Polyphony's engineers were given early access to the BMW M4 Coupé during its initial concept car phase so that they could ensure the in-game version would feature the series' trademark attention to detail. As a result, the M4 found in Gran Turismo 6 should be the closest thing to owning a real one many of us will ever see - especially given the car's nearly $92,000 suggested retail price.
To celebrate the virtual launch of the M4 Coupé, Gran Turismo 6 is hosting a Seasonal Event from now until December 26 that pits M4 drivers against one another for the fastest time through the Nürburgring Grand Prix track. This is mainly an effort to introduce people to the car's quirks on one of the world's most famous courses, but there's also bragging rights at stake here.
The best news to emerge from this announcement is the virtual car's price. Instead of shelling out real-world cash to download the M4 into your copy ofGran Turismo 6, it's already there. Fire up your game, take a look at the BMW section of the car showroom, and you'll now find the 2014 BMW M4 Coupé, ready to be driven by the first racer with enough cash to afford its upper-middle class accoutrements.

Last night, the NPD released video game sales data for November and NBA 2K14 debuted at the sixth spot on the list. Today, 2K Games has shared some additional stats on the next-gen version of the game, which was made available alongside the respective launches for the PS4 on November 15 and Xbox One on November 22.
NBA 2K14 was the fourth-best selling game on next-generation platforms, NPD analyst Liam Callahan said, and is the top-selling sports game overall on Xbox One and PS4. NBA 2K14 managed to beat out Madden NFL 25, FIFA 14 and NBA Live 14 , and is the first NBA game to achieve top-selling sports game at the start of a new console generation.
In our review of NBA 2K14 next-gen, we enjoyed the lifelike graphics and additional polish that went into the MyCareer mode, though we lamented the omission of modes found in the current-generation version of the game.

Warner Bros. has released an update for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of Batman: Arkham Origins adding the new competitive "Hunter, Hunted" mode to the game's online multiplayer component.
"Hunter, Hunted" is a 3v3v1 mode that throws three Bane thugs, three Joker henchmen, and one very pissed-off Batman into the same map for a chaotic team-based battle to the death. There are no respawns in this mode, making thugs especially fragile and keeping the stakes high throughout.
"Hunter, Hunted" is available as part of a free update, and follows up on the recent launch of Arkham Origins' Initiation DLC. The game's upcoming "Narrative DLC" pack will complete Arkham Origins' planned Season Pass content next year.

Minecraft will launch on PS3 on December 17 (tomorrow) in North America, aPlayStation Blog post revealed. The developer in charge of the port, 4J Studios, announced in November that the PS3 version of the game would arrive ahead of next-gen consoles. 4J Studios is still developing PS4 and PlayStation Vita versions, which will land sometime next year, though it's unknown if the game will be cross-compatible or feature any remote play options.
The PS3 version will be "pretty much identical" to other console versions of the game. DLC and texture packs for the game will be available on PSN "soon after release." No price was listed for the game, though it launched on Xbox 360 for $20. In terms of its appearance on home consoles, Minecraft was exclusive to Xbox 360 since it launched in May 2012. That iteration of the game recently celebrated its 10 millionth sale.

Well, this is a bit of a surprise: The Vita gets Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on the same day as the PS3. The $40 Vita version looked set for an extended delay after being left out of last month's release date announcement, but Square Enix revealed today that the PS2 remakes hit both systems on March 18, 2014 in North America, and March 21 in Europe.
If you're the kind of Spira-nut who's getting both versions, the good news for you is the game supports cross-saving, meaning you can pick up your Vita progress when switching to PS3, and vice versa. A word of warning on the physical version: the Vita cartridge includes Final Fantasy X, and a voucher to download Final Fantasy X-2 from the PlayStation Store - the PS3 disc will have both games on it. The two remasters are also coming to the PlayStation Store in a combo pack.
Square Enix also announced a PS3 Collector's Edition today, featuring a 40-page hardcover art book, a FFX HD Remaster soundtrack, and five art lithographs. The CE's going at the price of $80, and it's available only at Square Enix's online store.

One of the new features that both Sony and Microsoft touted for their next-gen gaming consoles was easy sharing of gameplay videos. Peter Smith has put sharing to the test on both consoles, and (spoiler alert), found that both have plenty of room for improvement. There are pros and cons to each, but ultimately, which console does sharing best comes down to personal preference: 'I really hate that the Playstation 4 is limited to sharing on Facebook and I really like that the Xbox One saves to my Skydrive,' says Smith. 'But I hate having to wait for that upload to happen before I can go back to gaming.

[Frank Zhao]—an awesome guy, an inadvertent Hackaday contributor, and an Adafrut fellow—has come up with a device to use a keyboard and mouse with Playstation 4 games. He calls it the UsbXlater, and even if [Frank] can’t get it working with his PS4, it’s still going to be an awesome tool.
On the board are two USB ports and an STM32F2 microcontroller. The micro provides a USB host interface and a USB device interface, enabling it to translate mouse movements and keystrokes into something a PS4 can understand. While this project was originally designed to use a keyboard and mouse on [Frank]‘s shiny new PS4, it’s not quite working just yet. He’s looking for a few gamer/dev folks to help him suss out the communication between a keyboard/mouse, the UsbXlater, and a PS4.
Of course, even if this device is never used for what it’s designed for, it’s still a very, very interesting tool. With two USB ports, the UsbXlater could act as a signal generator for USB devices and hosts, analyze USB traffic, or provide other applications that haven’t even been thought of yet.
[Frank] is hitting his head against the wall trying to figure out the PS4 protocol, so if you have some USB skills, feel free to hit him up for a blank PCB, though preference falls to people who will game with it and to those with a USB traffic analyzer. If you lack the skills for USB development, [Frank] is still looking for a better name for his device.

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!Oh, and here are the first screenshots (plus one piece of art) of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the action-orientated open-world riff on The Lord of the Rings by F.E.A.R. developer Monolith.The same pictures were included in Game Informer's Shadow of Mordor reveal, but here they are in big resolution for the internet to consume, like lembas bread.     http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...dor-looks-like
Shadows of Mordor spins the story of a ranger (like Strider) who is murdered, along with his family, by the returning forces of Sauron. But Talion, the ranger, is brought back from the dead by a spirit of vengeance - and it becomes him.Who the spirit is and why the spirit resurrected Talion is a secret knitted tightly into the story. Talion's possession also lends him super powers that he'll use to strike fear into the hearts of the orcs.Shadow of Mordor is a cross-gen game - for new consoles and old - and takes more than a few cues from the superb Arkham Batman games. It's due in 2014.

Sony Computer Entertainment boss Andrew House is hopeful that PS Vita's ability to act as a PS4 companion device will increase sales of the handheld system.
The vast majority of PS4 games are required to support Vita Remote Play, adding a new string to the portable platform's bow, and the firstPS4 Vita hardware bundles went on sale late last month to coincide with the new home console's release.
 Asked if Sony believes PS4's arrival will give Vita a much-needed boost, the boss of PlayStation told CVG contributor Steve boxer:
"I think Remote Play offers a great opportunity for PlayStation Vita to be seen as a companion device for the PlayStation 4 - a chance, with a reasonable investment, to have a second-screen experience. According to our research, that's resonated most in Europe, ahead of anywhere else."
House said another "pillar of the Vita strategy is to have it be the next platform of opportunity for really good mobile game developers who are looking to expand their creative portfolio into something with more differentiated games interfaces, and we're seeing some success with that".
On the subject of the redesigned Vita model launched in Japan in October, House was hesitant to commit to a possible western release.
"I can't talk about launch plans for the 2000 series at this point. It has launched in Japan and it's selling very well there, and it has certainly increased overall Vita sales - both on hardware and software."
Sony has forecast a combined total of just five million Vita and PSP salesduring the current business year ending March 2014, compared to seven million handheld sales achieved in the previous financial year.

Shawn McGrath's psychedelic PS3 indie game Dyad will be free to US PlayStation Plus subscribers from Tuesday, December 17.
The PSN-only title joins the US Instant Game Collection as part of this week's US PlayStation Store update.
 Described as "an abstract racing game", Dyad is a unique title in which players race through neon-colored tunnels by latching onto moving 'particles' to gain momentum.
The game was released for PS3 in July 2012, and a PC port arrived earlier this year.
Also in this week's update is a Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer trial on PS4, which lets subscribers play for free from December 28 to December 31. You'll be able to pre-download the trial from Tuesday, ahead of the free play period.

 When Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison headline the Ultra Street Fighter 4 cast, they'll be joined by a fifth, mystery combatant. We know nothing about this character, though thanks to producer Yoshinori Ono, we can at least now confirm her gender.
During the recent Capcom Cup fighting game tournament, Ono fielded questions about the new combatants, quickly denying awesome possibilities like bosomy luchador R. Mika and Mike "Mayor of Earth" Haggar. Also posited was the idea that Retsu, the deadly assassin from the original Street Fightermake might a return - canonically the bald guy is pretty crucial to the Street Fighter storyline, despite missing nearly two decades of games - but all of these ideas were categorically denied by Ono.
Instead the mischievious producer offers one single iota of information: The newest fighter will be of the distaff persuasion. This could be a new fighter, or it could be an old favorite - the series' roster has plenty of room for either - but it looks like we won't know more until Capcom decides to unofficially unveil its latest female pugilist.

December 12, 2013: Fixed crash bug
A bug snuck in that causes the game list on Android to either display a blank or crash if it sees a ZIP or RAR file.
This has now been fixed and been pushed to Google Play, and the downloads on this site have been updated.
December 12, 2013: 0.9.6 is here!
That´s right, it´s here, in good time for the holidays! This time the main focus has been on speed improvements, but there has obviously been quite a few bug fixes as well, and a new lighter look for the on screen touch controls. Enjoy! And if you´re having fun, don´t forget to support the project by buying the Gold version.
- Large general speed improvements and assorted bug fixes
- "Software Skinning" option which speeds up many games with animated 3D characters
(but may slow down a few, like Monster Hunter - experiment with turning it off) - Various fixes around stencil/alpha, reducing glow problems in Wipeout and Gods Eater Burst.
- Timing improvements making more games run at the correct FPS, also fixing some audio issues
- More debugger features
- Better looking and individually resizable touch controls
- Automatic install of games from ZIP files, like demos and many homebrew.
- Software renderer improvements
- VERY basic ad-hoc online play support, to be improved in future versions.
- And more...

Sleeping sucks, you miss news of different timezones for sure. So, what did happen while I slept?
1) PS4 Game Dumps
According to an A9VG member, PS4 games can be dumped with a common PC Blu-Ray drive.
It seems that already a few games were dumped, inlcuding Killzone, Knack, Battlefield4 and AC4.
As soon as I get access to a disc or dump myself, I will do an analyse of the containing files.
For more details of the dumps, like game disc sizes and file structure please check out PS3Hax.
2) HDMI Fail
What happens if you force students to build your Next-Gen console under pressure? Well, they might return you faulty HDMI jacks.
IGN, Kotaku and many more individual users report that their PS4 video output stopped working. The console apparently is unusable for those who experienced it.
3) For those who already received a console
Sadly im still looking for a PS4 unit, if you can help me to get one contact me at skfu@skfu.xxx.
In case you got a unit for yourself, here are some examples of what has to be tested:
- Before powering up the unit for first time, make a 1:1 dump of the HDD
- Dump a game disc
- Burn the dump to an empty BD
- Check if the PS4 recognizes the disc
- Check any files which can be transfered from PS4
- Install a modified firmware
- Use my PS4FwTool
- Extract 2 firmwares
- Rebuild a new firmware based on both output
- Possible brick! Do at your own risk!
- Recovery menu should bring you back in case of faulty firmware, but only do this if you actually are aware of the risk and know what you do!
- Modify the Companion Tool (iOS/Android)
- Intercept game traffic between Companion Tool and PS4 game
Happy hacking,
- SKFU

PlayStation president and CEO Andrew House has said the company is "more committed to new IP establishment and delivery" than other platform holders.
Following the arrival of the PlayStation 4 in November, House has said development of new IP for the console is "critically important".
 "In terms of sheer breadth and depth, we are in a better shape in terms of third party support for this console launch than certainly any I've ever launched," said House to MCV regarding the launch of PS4.
"And I do think that the early consumer is going to buy in if they sense that there is a roadmap of great content that is going to come down the pipe," added House, before stressing that the new IP delivery in 2014 is "critically important".
"We are more committed to new IP establishment and delivery than most other platform holders out there," he said.
Sony's major new IP currently announced for PS4 is The Order 1886, a game set in an alternate history that mixes Victorian-era London with relatively modern technologies and mythological monsters, in development at God of War PSP studio Ready at Dawn.
New third-party IPs coming in 2014 include Bungie's Destiny, and Ubisoft titles Watch Dogs and Tom Clancy's The Division.

Zen Pinball 2 will be released for PS4 a week later than previously expected in US, Zen Studios has confirmed, along with details on its content transfer system.
Originally due for release Stateside Tuesday, the game will now arrive in the region on December 24. The EU release date remains unchanged from tomorrow, December 18.
 If you own Zen Pinball 2 for PS3 or Vita, you'll be able to transfer any tables purchased in those games to the PS4 version at no additional cost. But the process is not as clear-cut as you might expect.
Marvel and Star Wars Pinball on PS3 can't be imported directly, and there are no PS4-to-PS3 transfers. Developer Zen Studios has released a brief tutorial on the full import process and its restrictions:
- The tables can only import from Zen Pinball 2 > Zen Pinball 2. You cannot import from Marvel Pinball or Star Wars Pinball on PS3 > Zen Pinball 2 on PS4. You CAN import from Marvel or Star Wars Pinball on PS3 > Zen Pinball 2 on PS3 and then > PS4.
- There is no going backwards from PS4 > PS3. If you want to play the tables on PS3 in the future, we suggest you buy them on PS3 first and then import to PS4.
- For those of you who downloaded any of the applicable tables via PS+, you can import to PS4 just the same. However, if your PS+ account expires, you will lose access to the content.
Step-by-step walkthrough:
- Press the square button (Import Tables) on the collection screen to start the import process
- Please wait while the game is searching for tables available for import
- If there are tables available to import, the store will offer the next batch of content it has found. Press the x button (Enter) on each offered content's download icon to add them to downloads, then press the circle button (Back) to return to the collection screen, and if there are still tables to import, the store will offer them in the next batch. Repeat this process until all content is added to the download queue.
- Alternatively, if you want to import just a specific table, you can go to the table's menu, wait a few seconds while the game checks for availability and press the "Download and play!" button when it appears. As the store comes up, press the x button (Enter) on each offered content's download icon to add them to downloads, and press the circle button (Back) to return to the game.
- Wait until all downloads finish (you can check their progress in the PS4 user interface under Notifications/Downloads), and there you go! You can play your imported tables straight away.

Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House says PlayStation Plus has provided a new audience to indie developers struggling with discoverability in the mobile space.
"With PlayStation Plus, we've almost stumbled upon a great way to connect independent games developers with an audience," PlayStation boss House told CVG contributor Steve Boxer.
 "From what independent developers tell me, the mobile space is an increasing struggle for those looking to find an audience, so we have the opportunity to give two things to independent games developers.
"One is an opportunity to stretch their legs creatively, with differentiated interfaces and a big-screen experience. And the second thing is to connect them with an audience."
The headline feature of PS Plus is Instant Game Collection. It offers subscribers a rolling selection of PS4, PS3 and Vita games which remain accessible for as long as they are paying members.
House said: "Via PlayStation Plus, the Instant Game Collection experience has taken off, because people have that joy of discovering those new, quirky experiences that maybe they wouldn't have come across. That's a very strong area of emphasis for us."
Sony used the PS4 launch in November to make a number of significant changes to PS Plus.
PS4 owners are required to subscribe to PS Plus in order to play online multiplayer, which isn't the case on PS3 or Vita.
The thinking behind the decision to charge customers for online multiplayer on PS4 was explained to us by Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida in June.

December 18th, 2013, 01:00 Posted By: wraggster
250,000 consoles sold in two days means PS4 is already ahead in the next-gen console race.
But does a good launch really spell success for the future?
MCV talks to PlayStation president and CEO Andrew House on the future of its new machine, the role of retail and the death of consoles…
PS4 has enjoyed a strong launch. But then so did PSP and PS3, and neither platform went on to be market leaders. So does a good launch even matter?
I am going to give you a slightly contradictory answer. When two consoles of this scale comes to market almost simultaneously, it seems to have put video gaming back into the entertainment mainstream and back into people’s conversation, so the launches are important from that point of view.
It also sets the tone for how momentum is going to be for a platform’s lifecycle. The contradictory other side to that, is the old:?‘it is a marathon not a sprint’. A lifecycle is years long. It is not just about one night. But it is an important start in terms of staking out the road you are going to try and follow.
PS3 is almost 3m units behind Xbox 360 in the UK. From a global view, how vital is it that you turn around your performance in the UK?
It’s extremely important. On previous platforms we’ve enjoyed a stronger leadership position globally in many markets, and that strengthens the partnerships you can build with third parties, which is critical to the business. So the goal is absolutely, as far as possible, to get ourselves into the No.1 position in every market we operate in.
Let’s not lose sight of the fact that outside of the US and the UK, we are in that leadership position. But those are two key, critical markets, and PS4 – given the supply we have been able to generate to-date and given the value proposition versus the competition – has a really good opportunity to get us back into a better leadership position than we were in this lifecycle.
"Let’s not lose sight of the fact that outside of
the US and the UK, we are in that leadership
position. But those are two key, critical markets,
and PS4 – given the supply we have been able
to generate to-date and given the value proposition
versus the competition – has a really good
opportunity to get us back into a better leadership
position than we were in this lifecycle." Andrew House, Sony
80m PS3s sold is a good figure, but it falls short of PS2, which managed 150m overall, What are your aspirations for PS4?
PS4 has an opportunity to significantly exceed what we’ve been achieved with PS3. One reason is we start off with a price that is more consumer friendly than we had for PS3.
Also, one of the success stories, not just for ourselves but for the whole games business, has been our ability to open up new geographies for video games over the last five years. The PS2 success was achieved with Latin America being almost a non-existent market for consoles. We are seeing signs that finally China may open up to consoles with the establishment of the free trade zone in Shanghai. So there are opportunities for new markets that we haven’t tapped into.
Finally, we took several years to take PS3 from a dual-function device to a multi-functional entertainment machine. PS4 arrived with a full suite of non-game services from day one. There will be someone who wants this principally for playing video games, but the fact that it is a great place to experience BBC iPlayer, or the other 18 services, means that there are other reasons to purchase for other family members. That is really important in broadening the console’s reach.
Judging by the mood at E3 and Gamescom, it feels like Sony has a bit of the old confidence back.
That is a fair assessment. We had some struggles with PS3, but the important thing is that we learnt a lot from those experiences.
Anyone can point out how those learnings have translated into the decisions we’ve made around PS4 – selection of architecture, emphasis on ease of development, understanding PS4 had to be a highly connected and social experience. These were products of some tough learning we did on PS3. I believe the confidence we’re showing is because the feedback from gamers and developers is that we’ve got some of these decisions right. There has been more of a spring in the step from folks in the organisation that perhaps hadn’t been there for a while.
It’s been seven years since PS3. EA and Ubisoft told MCV that the wait was too long. Do you agree?
It’s hard to look back in hindsight and say: ‘It should have launched at this point.’ Because that is not how we approach the business. We don’t pick a year and launch a console then we ask:?‘What experience do we want that will be inspiring to creators and players that should constitute a new generation?’ And there’s a technology roadmap that goes against that. We target qualitative goals rather than temporal goals.

Namco Bandai has released a pair of gameplay trailers for its upcoming anime-based brawler Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, giving a lengthy demonstration of the game's single-player mode and cooperative multiplayer component.
Contrasting the many one-on-one fighters (and occasional Kinect oddities) based on Dragon Ball Z in recent years, Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z revolves around a single-player story mode in which players square off against series villains and wreak the kind of landscape-ruining havoc only Goku is capable of wreaking. Gameplay is inspired by the beat-'em-up genre, and stages take place in wide-open areas suited for flight and ranged attacks. Fly, Goku. Fly.
Dragon Ball Z is set to launch in North America on January 28 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PS Vita,

Atlus, publisher on Daylight, has shared some story details about the upcoming exploration-based horror game. The game is set in 1983 on Mid Island and stars Sarah Gwynn, who one day wakes up in a derelict hospital to find herself all alone. The hospital, which has seen better days, was once going to be fitted as a high-end hospice care unit for the wealthy, but the company financing the renovation suddenly backed out at the last minute and left the hospital to rot.
And, surely enough, the hospital looks like it was suddenly vacated years ago, as you can see in the new bunch of screens in our gallery below. One day in the '40s, all of the staff and patients just upped and vanished. The hospital was forced to permanently close its doors in 1948 and presumably nobody has been back since.
Sarah will explore this derelict hospital, among other locations, in early 2014 when Daylight launches for the PC and PS4. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4 and is being written by Jessica Chobot, who also lends her voice as protagonist Sarah Gwynn.

The PlayStation 4 is off to roaring start in France.
According to French video game website GameKult, Sony’s new console has sold 100,000 units since it launched on November 29th. The Xbox One, however, has sold less than half that figure.
Both are still being outsold by the Wii U, which has an install base of over 160,000 units in France, but that console had a year’s head start. Nintendo's next-gen platform has also seen a recent surge in sales thanks to Super Mario 3D World.
But Sony isn't just beating Microsoft in France. The PS4 has sold 80,000 units in Spain, compared to 25,000 from Xbox One. And Sony's console is outselling Microsoft's in the UK, of course.
GameKult estimates that half a million PS4s have been sold in Western Europe, but only 300,000 Xbox Ones.

Fighting game Skullgirls will be re-released on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace as Skullgirls Encore, its developer has announced.Following the breakup of the relationship between co-publishers Autumn Games and Konami, Skullgirls was set to be delisted from Sony and Microsoft's digital store fronts.But developer Lab Zero Games has successfully navigated this tricky obstacle, and plans to re-release the game under a new name.On 31st December 2013 Skullgirls will be removed from PSN and XBLA. Skullgirls Encore will replace it at some point in January 2014.At least, that's in the US. For European PlayStation owners, it "may take a little longer", Lab Zero Games admitted.All PSN purchasers of the original release of Skullgirls get Skullgirls Encore free, similar to a PS3 / PS4 / Vita Cross-buy. Squigly's character DLC will be released at the same time, and will be free for a period of three months, and will only be compatible with Skullgirls Encore. However, the original Skullgirls DLC is not compatible with Skullgirls Encore. To make up for this, the character colour DLC bundle will be free for everyone for a limited time. This unlocks additional colours for all existing characters, as well as Squigly and all future characters.Expect fresh leaderboards and a new set of trophies to earn. Unfortunately your previous save data will not be compatible.Now for the Xbox 360 version. Unlike the PSN version, Skullgirls Encore is a patched version of the original game, not a separate product. The publisher of the new version is MarvelousAQL (Microsoft does not allow self-publishing on Xbox 360). It looks like Encore is even further out, because MarvelousAQL can't submit the new build until after Christmas, but you can continue to play Skullgirls online during the transition.When the patch is ready, there will be a title update and a new mandatory Compatibility Pack DLC. Leaderboards, achievements and save data are unaffected, and previously bought DLC will still be compatible with Encore. But the character colour DLC bundle will be free for everyone for a limited time, and Squigly will be available and free at this point as well.The Steam version has already been updated. As it was self-published, it's unaffected.Konami is yet to comment on the issue that led to Skullgirls being delisted, but in this latest blog post Lab Zero Games claimed the Japanese company refused to submit the console patch unless it was able to fully test it - at great expense to Lab Zero Games.This caused Autumn Games to sever its distribution arrangement with Konami, in effect to clear the way for the IndieGoGo-funded downloadable content patches. Autumn then signed an agreement with MarvelousAQL to secure a replacement slot for the XBLA version.But Konami requested Skullgirls be delisted on PSN as of 17th December. Lab Zero Games only found out about this after Sony had agreed to the request. Konami then agreed to push this back to 31st December.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has launchedPlayStation Mobile in eight new countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and New Zealand.

Law firm Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP has filed a class action lawsuitagainst Electronic Arts alleging that the company issued "materially false and misleading statements" regarding the quality and playability of its troubled first-person shooter Battlefield 4.
Battlefield 4 has seen numerous patches in the weeks following its release, addressing major issues ranging from client crashes to save file corruption. The suit highlights the PlayStation 4 version of Battlefield 4 in particular, claiming that "players of Electronic Arts' games were being subjected to multiple glitches and significant crashes when attempting to play Electronic Arts' titles on PS4."
The Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd suit marks the second time a law firm has targeted Electronic Arts over Battlefield 4 this month. Previously, Holzer Holzer & Fistel, LLC launched an investigation to determine whether EA misled investors regarding Battlefield 4's projected impact on company revenue. The results of this investigation have not yet been disclosed.
Individuals who purchased EA common stock between July 24 and December 4, 2013, have until February 15 to contact Robbins Geller for representation in the firm's class action lawsuit.

GTA Online, the online side of Grand Theft Auto 5, gets a free update today that adds four new capture-the-flag modes. It being GTA, the flags are so much pieces of fabric as they are suspect packages and stolen vehicles. Simply titled Capture, the update brings Raid, Hold, GTA, and Contend to the game's team-based modes, along with 20 new jobs.
A quick rundown of the modes, then: Raid sounds like standard CTF, with teams attacking bases to seize packages and bring them to their bases. Hold, meanwhile, is about finding packages and storing as many as you can in your base - unlike Raid, packages are also dotted across the map. GTA is like Raid, but with vehicles spread across the map. Finally, Contend is centered around a single vehicle that respawns after it's successfully captured.
According to Rockstar, the update is available now through Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network. It also adds a bunch of tweaks and fixes that you can check out here.

Yorkshire-based indie Four Door Lemon has revealed that it is handling development for the PlayStation Vita versions of Joe Danger and its sequel.
The two games are due for release in the second quarter of 2014 and will include all of the content from both Hello Games' 2010 hit Joe Danger and its 2012 follow-up Joe Danger 2: The Movie.
Four Door Lemon was founded in 2005 and has collaborated with other developers on the likes of New Star Soccer and Oddworld: Much's Oddysee HD.
"We're big fans of Joe Danger and Hello Games, and having the opportunity to bring our favourite daredevil to the Vita was a dream come true for us," said founder Simon Barratt.
"I have been hoping Sean would ask us to bring Joe to Vita for a long time now as the blond of classic skill-based gameplay and humour is a perfect fit for the device. We can't wait for fans to be able to experience the Danger on the go."
Hello Games founder Sean Murray added: "Joe Danger is incredibly precious to us, and there are very few people we'd trust with our baby. Simon and his team at Four Door Lemon have a well proven track record, especially on the PlayStation platform.
"This is a great example of UK indie developers working together, helping each other to build something fantastic. It's an ideal fit."
Hello Games has just announced its next project will be procedurally generated sci-fi title No Man's Sky.

The PlayStation 4's recent launch in the UK may not have been a success just for the new home console - MCV reports that sales of Sony's Vita handheld rose by 68 percent during the PS4's launch week, rising again by 65 percent for the following week.
Senior Product Manager Ben Law said that Vita sales are "continuing to see strong week-on-week growth since [Sony's] latest campaign kicked in." Law also pointed to Tearaway and the Remote Play feature as incentives for gamers to purchase a Vita "either as a stand-alone device or as the perfect companion to PS4."

 All Dragon's Crown wants for Christmas is a massive new dungeon, increased level cap and a bit more soul-crushing difficulty. Fortunately, developer Vanillaware has an in with Saint Nick.
Previously, Dragon's Crown allowed players to develop their chosen brawlers to level 99. As of today, that cap has been raised to 255. To complement the extra 156 levels, Vanillaware has introduced a new Ultimate difficulty level that unlocks once players have cleared the ninth layer of the Labyrinth of Chaos. Not only is the Ultimate difficulty level intensely hard, it also offers players better rewards than lesser difficulty settings.
In addition, Vanillaware has introduced a new dungeon, dubbed "The Tower of Mirages." This dungeon is only available in the Ultimate difficulty setting, and is seemingly designed to break whatever self-confidence you might have. Each time to you enter The Tower of Mirages, its levels are randomized, which is problematic given that there are "tens of thousands of levels" for you to hack and slash your way through.
On a more generous note, Vanillaware has also included a few stability fixes in this new update, along with a new feature that allows anyone who has completed the Story Mode to skip right past it when creating a new alternate character.

Three wise fighters came to Soulcalibur: Lost Swords. And lo, the swordswoman Pyrrha offered the game the gift of Woe, the meat slab Astaroth presented the gift of Destruction, and the dark knight Nightmare... more Destruction. It was not the happiest of holidays, especially since Soulcalibur: Lost Swords really wanted a Buzz Lightyear doll.
And lo, Namco's free-to-play, single-player fighter ventures onto PS3 sometime next year.

 Ubisoft is currently hosting a massive sale, including half-priced versions ofAssassin's Creed 4, and Far Cry 3 at 75 percent off.
The caveats attached to these deals are all time-based and surprisingly complicated. For instance, that Assassin's Creed 4 discount is only available to UK PlayStation 3 owners on the PlayStation Network and draws to a close on December 21. The Far Cry 3 deal however, which can be found on Ubisoft'sonline store, runs until January 5 and includes a swath of other games such asSplinter Cell: Blacklist, and even a few discounts on non-Ubisoft games likeFallout 3. A cursory glance at the Ubisoft store shows The Walking Dead's PC incarnation at $6.25 and the Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition at a mere $5.
If sorting through the reams of discounts seems like too much work, here's a trick that might help: While you can find all of Ubisoft's discounts by navigating its site, those who visit the Winter Sale page are able to pull up lists of games based on the size of their discounts.
Edit: The text of this article has been altered to clarify the terms of theAssassin's Creed 4 discount.

In regards to their shiny new PS4s, readers most enjoyed their relaxing, sing-along journeys on Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag's Caribbean seas. The Last of Us won over the hearts of PS3 users, presumably for the knee-slappers that came out of Ellie's joke book. Vita fans were most enamored with Tearaway,Media Molecule's crafty platformer made out of paper. Lastly, Housemarque's voxel-jumbling shooter Resogun was voted as the year's best digital release.
Looking forward to 2014, fans are most anticipating Infamous: Second Son, the smoky super hero story based in Seattle, which you can expect on March 21. If you're curious about more than just the winners, the full post also lists runners up for each category as well as personal picks from the PlayStation Blog staff.

Contrast has a lot of things going for it: It's beautiful, has an intriguing core concept of "a girl and a friend thriving in shadow," and it's free with a PS Plus membership. Unfortunately, upon release it was also rife with glitches that, among other things, tended to leave players stuck in walls, the ground, and other bits of game geometry. A new patch, available now, should fix all of that.
"Good news! The Contrast PS4 patch has gone live in North America, just in time for Christmas," tweeted @ContrastGame. The patch fixes all manner of tech sins, including loading problems, various ways you could get stuck, and my personal favorite, "Fix for the box falling on the player's head and floating in space."
The patch will hopefully remedy the "technical instability" we called out in our review, which often made it difficult to parse if you hadn't found the solution to a puzzle, or if you simply couldn't do what you were trying to do.

Niche-focused publisher MonkeyPaw and indie localization team GaijinWorks have teamed up to produce an English-language version of Acquire's PlayStation 3 dungeon-crawling RPG Class of Heroes 2G in 2014.
The two studios previously partnered for this year's PSP release of Class of Heroes 2, which premiered as a PlayStation Network download before UMD copies shipped out to pre-order buyers in October.
Class of Heroes 2 writer and producer Victor Ireland announced that the upcoming PS3 release will feature dual-screen play, allowing players to access in-game maps and stats via a connected PlayStation Vita or PSP. No word has been issued regarding whether Class of Heroes 2G will premiere as a digital or physical release, but MonkeyPaw notes that further details will revealed "after the New Year."

Mercenary Kings is due out on Steam and PS4 in early 2014, despite Tribute Games' attempts to finish it up before the end of the year. Tribute saysMercenary Kings is content complete right now, but the team wants to polish up all that running and gunning before launch, and it's taking a few extra months. The game's previous launch window was "this winter," which technically spills into 2014 anyway – still, Tribute is apologetic.
"Again, we'd like to thank you for your patience. We do not take lightly the privilege of having people be excited about the game and asking us about it every day on social media! We're working really hard to get it in the best possible shape and in your hands early 2014."
To offer a silver lining of the delay, Tribute reveals that Mercenary Kings will support remote play on Vita at launch. Remember, this is the studio behindScott Pilgrim vs. The World and Wizorb, and those both turned out pretty brilliantly, so we'll give Tribute a few more months to deliver a great game. This time.

In addition to a single-player campaign and an online multiplayer mode, Racing Transformed lets players settle longtime rivalries among Sega's elite. With your help, Alex Kidd can finally take down the vile usurper Sonic the Hedgehog and secure his place as Sega's rightful representative. Afterward, you may wish to pen a dozen-chapter work of fan fiction detailing the great Sega mascot wars that unfolded -- forfree -- on your PlayStation Vita over the holiday break.
This week also introduces a series of PlayStation Plus-exclusive discounts, dropping the prices of Proteus, DuckTales Remastered, Castle of Illusion, and other featured games for a limited time.

A new patch has been issued for NBA 2K14 on Xbox One and PS4. This third patch, which aims to improve gameplay features and squash some of the more pernicious bugs, is available for download on both consoles right now.
In the patch notes, 2K Games promises fewer sudden disconnects when playing against others online as well as a resolution to the lengthy blank loading screen that would sometimes hit players when they booted up the game. 2K has also fixed a nasty bug that would prevent players from proceeding past the All-Star break after playing through multiple seasons in MyCareer mode.
Some issues are specific to the Xbox One, – such as game invites failing to go through or players entering an uncontrollable state when a secondary profile would sign in then out. Both have been taken care of, along with a bug where blocked players could still find each other in online matches. Now when you block them, they can't find you on Xbox Live.
Other minor improvements include resolving a camera glitch and adding an entirely new camera angle option, tweaking dribble animations for some players in order to be smoother and changing certain situational AI behavior. The patch changes quite a lot, so head on over to this 2K blog post for the full game tape.

 A wholly new problem has found Battlefield 4, thanks to a report claiming that the PlayStation 3 version of the game's China Rising DLC is not being upgraded to its PlayStation 4 counterpart, despite EA's earlier, public claims to the contrary.
China Rising is the first in a series of planned expansions for Battlefield 4 and was offered as a free pre-order bonus to anyone willing to put down cash early on any version of the game. At the same time, EA (and many other publishers) were involved in a promotion that would allow players to upgrade a game from its PS3 or Xbox 360 iteration to a next-gen counterpart for a small fraction of the game's purchase price.
Though the official Battlefield Twitter account claims that China Rising should be upgraded alongside the game using the aforementioned promotion, a player using the name "buckethead232" has revealed a text chat with an EA customer service representative which directly contradicts that idea. "According to the latest updates, upgraded players have to purchase [China Rising]," the representative told the player, before adding that the only ways to get China Rising on either a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One are to pre-order a next-generation version of the game, spend $15 to buy the DLC piecemeal, or spend $50 for the Battlefield Premium service (which bundles all Battlefield 4 DLC).
We've contacted EA for further information on this apparent policy change, though have yet to hear back. That's not surprising given that it's two days before Christmas, but we'll offer an update when and if we hear more.

PlayStation Europe saved the best til The Last of Us, ending its 12 Deals of Christmas sale with Naughty Dog's PS3 apoco-sim and the Vita delight that isPersona 4 Golden. The enhanced Atlus JRPG goes down to £15 (€20/AU$25), while Joel and Ellie's feel-good adventure for the holidays is just £20 (€30/AU$40).
If you want, you can go all in on The Last of Us by chucking in the season pass; the game and pass bundled together are priced £30 (€37.49/AU$55.47). The pass grants access to three major DLC packs, including the already releasedAbandoned Territories map pack for multiplayer, and the Left Behind single-player prequel episode which is due in 2014.
Two things to add: Firstly, there's an extra holiday bonus for PS Plus subscribers, 'cos they get a further 10 percent off all those prices. Second, the deals are active for 48 hours, so you have until the end of tomorrow to ensure you're a happy camper come Christmas Day.

PlayStation 4 was Google’s most-searched for gadget in the US this year.
The Escapist points to Google’s updated top search charts, which show Sony’s new console on top of the search browser’s Tech Gadgets category.
Microsoft’s Xbox One, conversely, failed to crack the category’s top 10.
Interestingly, the PS4 comes in third in the worldwide Consumer Electronics category, while the Xbox One is right there in fourth.
The apparent indication that Xbox One is not highly sought after by US gamers seems a bit absurd, given Microsoft’s historical solid track record with its home territory.
Escapist goes as far as to suggest that committed Xbox One buyers simply didn’t search for the console, knowing they were already going to purchase one.

Japanese developer Moss announced that it will port its arcade-style shoot-'em-ups Caladrius and Raiden 4 to the PlayStation 3 next year, following up on previous releases for the Xbox 360.
The PlayStation 3 version of Raiden 4, titled Raiden 4: Overkill, will boast a new gameplay mode when it premieres digitally via PSN this spring. Caladrius will make its PlayStation 3 debut later in 2014 with an additional stage and a new character not featured in the Xbox 360 release.
While Raiden 4 saw a limited edition North American retail launch in 2009 courtesy of niche publisher UFO Interactive, Caladrius has remained a Japanese exclusive since its debut in April of this year. The PlayStation 3 versions of Raiden 4 and Caladrius have not been announced for overseas release.

The January freebies for PlayStation Plus have just been revealed and it's quite the eclectic mix. Next week, PS4 owners will be able to partake in Klei's survival simulator Don't Starve, a game about scrounging for supplies and surviving forjust one more night in a hostile environment.
On PS3, will offer three separate free downloads in January: BioShock Infinite,DmC: Devil May Cry and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. BioShock Infinite, which takes place in the floating city of Columbia during 1912, is the latest first-person opus from Ken Levine and Irrational Games, while DmC: Devil May Cryis Ninja Theory's reboot of Capcom's devil hunter action series. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the story of two young brothers on a quest to obtain medicine for their sick father, is from Starbreeze Studios.
Finally, rounding out next month's downloads are two PS Vita offerings: Smart As... and Worms: Battle Islands. The former is a brain training game while the latter is another entry in Team17's long-running Worms franchise.

It's a good time to be a fan of the Disney-Enix crossover gloop that is Kingdom Hearts: HD 1.5 Remix is out, HD 2.5 Remix comes to PS3 next year, and then there's the small matter of Kingdom Hearts 3 for Xbox One and PS4.
Yet there's one piece missing from the series' HD puzzle. The second compilation features Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and remastered cinematics from DS entry Re:coded, and HD 1.5 Remix coversKingdom Hearts Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days, but that still leaves one major entry unaccounted for: last year's 3DS game, Dream Drop Distance.
The matter hasn't escaped the mind of series director Tetsuya Nomura, who told Famitsu (via Kotaku) it's something he feels Square Enix needs to consider.
"The HD remastered games are a summary leading up to Kingdom Hearts 3,"Nomura said. "It'd be sad for one chapter not to be in HD in remaking the series, plus Kingdom Hearts 3D is a necessary piece for telling the story ofKingdom Hearts 3, so I've been telling myself that we need to start considering it."
Of course, its HD-ified inclusion could be anything; it could be reduced to remastered cinematics, or get its own fully-fledged console port. It's hard to predict the future for a series that's prepared to name a game 358/2 Days - orHD 2.5 Remix for that matter.

Sony has confirmed that, alongside US gamers, EU-residing PlayStation Plus subscribers will also be treated to free access to Killzone Shadow Fall's multiplayer mode this Christmas.
As previously announced for the US, the trial period, taking place from December 28-31, will exclusively allow PS Plus subs to play the multiplayer mode from Killzone Shadowfall for free.
 The 'Trial' version of the game is available for pre-download now in both regions, allowing interested gamers to have their copy installed and ready ahead of the four-day trial period.
Sony is yet to specify the contents of the trial, but all indications so far point to the full multiplayer mode being made available.
Killzone Shadow Fall was a PS4 launch-day title and the fourth game (excluding portable entries) in Guerrilla Games' flagship PlayStation-exclusive FPS series.
In CVG's Killzone Shadow Fall review, critic Steve Boxer says the game "doesn't seek to reinvent the FPS, but it does inject a much-needed infusion of creativity and originality into the genre".

Now you can get used to see wide range of loaders on PS3 , because it's something that often happens when you open the world scene to console each pulls a loader and we have to choose the best . How? What we look for a loader ? What is essential is to have a excellent compatibility with backups , then that is nice , it's always more pleasant to have a colorful interface a black and lettering style white console Windows, then you have extra functions not only load games, it is also Good to have on hand some other plus .

PPSSPP can run your PSP games on your PC in full HD resolution, and play them on Android too. It can even upscale textures that would otherwise be too blurry as they were made for the small screen of the original PSP.
Here's changelog for 0.9.6(-2) release:
|
+ Large general speed improvements and assorted bug fixes
+ "Software Skinning" option which speeds up many games with animated 3D characters (but may slow down a few, like Monster Hunter - experiment with turning it off)
+ Various fixes around stencil/alpha, reducing glow problems in Wipeout and Gods Eater Burst.
+ Timing improvements making more games run at the correct FPS, also fixing some audio issues
+ More debugger features
+ Better looking and individually resizable touch controls
+ Automatic install of games from ZIP files, like demos and many homebrew.
+ Software renderer improvements
+ VERY basic ad-hoc online play support, to be improved in future versions.
+ fixed bug that causes the game list on Android to either display a blank or crash if it sees a ZIP or RAR file |

This week we are proud to be able to present you with the latest issue of Computer & Video Games. We are August of 1996 and the N64 has just been released in Japan while the PSone and Sega Saturn are starting to come into their own.
Our very first selected feature is a preview for the first Aquanaut's Holiday for the PSone. The second preview is none other than Crash Bandicoot. Then we take a look at Pilotwings 64 for the Nintendo 64. And finally we take a look at the 3D sequel to Flashback on the PSone: Fade To Black.

- download 660.PBP Here. (choose the PSP 1000/2000/3000 version, *not* the PSP Go version). Depending on the download links, if the file you download is named EBOOT.PBP, rename it into 660.PBP

- If you don’t have it already, download and install OpenCMA
Preparation
- Extract the savedata from the TN-V4 loader of your game on your hard drive, in your CMA’s PSAVEDATA/xxxxx folder (where xxxx are a bunch of letters and numbers).
- Copy TN.BIN, FLASH0.TN, and 660.PBP in the game’s savedata folder (where you can find ‘H.BIN’)
- Copy the game’s savedata to your Vita, using OpenCMA
Running TN-V4
- Now run the exploit for the game (the trigger varies on the game) and TN-V should start.
- On the first boot, the recovery menu will appear automatically.
- Select ‘Advanced ->’ menu and then select ‘Install 6.60 files’ (this step is only needed if you’ve never used TN-V4 before).
- Enjoy the install progress.
- After the install is done, go back and exit the recovery menu.
- Enjoy TN’s awesome work.

You might remember Yifan Lu from a more or less private project of running unsigned code on the PS Vita through a native exploit. Or if you’re not very familiar with that aspect of the vita scene, you might know him as the guy who came up with a jailbreak for the kindle several years ago.
As he stated himself recently, the Vita has been out for 2 years, and nobody has even dumped its NAND yet (at least not publicly), while it happened for the PS4 2 weeks after its release. Deciding to take the matter in his own hands, Yifan Lu started a donation drive to get some hardware in order to look closely at the Vita’s hardware.
Namely, his goal for now is to try and dump the NAND. Now, depending on how well you know computer systems, such a goal might either sound like Klingon to you, or appear to be a trivial task that doesn’t deserve any excitement, or sound like a useless attempts… but let me describe why I think this is very cool.
I have no doubt that Sony have made their best to secure the Vita, both from hardware and software perspectives, so you shouldn’t expect a magical and immediate breakthrough from this attempt.
But that’s not why I am excited about this project. As a matter of fact, Yifan Lu admitted to have extremely limited experience in hardware hacking. And, as paradoxical as it may sound, this is exactly why I am interested in his experiment: he promised to document and report all his findings, and I think the project is extremely interesting for all of us who have absolutely no experience in that kind of stuff. His articles, including the donation drive itself, are a nice introduction into the world of hardware hacking, from a “noob’s” perspective.
In his first articles, Yifan Lu describes the hardware he uses, how he uses it, the mistakes he made, etc… That’s the type of information you will never get from seasoned hardware hackers, as they forgot how these basic things simply sound like voodoo magic to the rest of humans. A chosen bit:
“To remove the actual eMMC chip, keep the heat gun directed at the chip for a while, then use your pointy device to try to pry it off. Use a bit of force but not extreme force and be slow with the prying. This is because even though the solder below melts fairly quickly, the chip is held in place with some kind of glue”

As you all know, PCSX2 is a free open source project that has been in development since early 2001.
For all these years the team has tried to give you the best emulator possible, with everyone working on it voluntarily.
Now, after 12 years, development has slowed down considerably. This is due to both, the increased difficulty in ironing out the persistent bugs and also lack of motivation from the few remaining developers to dedicate the time that is needed.
A few months ago a representative of AVG, the maker of a well-known anti-virus solution, contacted us about a partnership offer.
After carefully considering the proposal, the team decided to accept the partnership with AVG which will generate some much-needed income by bundling the AVG SafeGuard product with PCSX2.
The money generated from this partnership will be divided among the team members to provide incentive and motivation to further improve PCSX2.
Using it we can invest in special hardware, recruit new coders or pay some bills, freeing up time for the project.
What this means for the end-user:
- Our full installer for the official windows release (and ONLY that) will now come bundled with the AVG SafeGuard toolbar. When installing users will be free to opt-out and NOT install it.
- If you decide to accept the AVG toolbar, you will directly help the team keep PCSX2 going.
- Users will have increased protection against visiting potentially dangerous websites, reducing the chance of getting viruses.
- The SafeGuard toolbar can be uninstalled like any other windows program. If you require further asssistance in the removal process we will be happy to help.
We care for our users and we have accepted this offer after being ensured the toolbar is harmless and can be easily uninstalled if and when a user decides to.
Still, if any of you have any problem you can ask for help in our forum and we will do our best to help you.
In the end, we believe this move will be for the benefit of the project and will play a significant role in improving PCSX2.
That said, we are already gearing up for a 1.2.0 release, so we will keep you posted when that happens!

Watch Dogs began life as a very different game. When the team was formed years ago, the goal was to create a driving game.
"They were working on a driving engine, working on something. We had the Driver license. This was years ago," Ubisoft North America President Laurent Detoc told IGN. "Then we were thinking, 'no, this is not the way we want to go with a driving game,' so we canceled that and restarted. It's not like Watch Dogsstarted as Watch Dogs. The Watch Dogs project was initially another game."
Detoc added that some parts of the engine were then incorporated into Watch Dogs after the team reshuffled and added a new creative director. Ubisoft was also working on another driving game at the time – either Driver: San Franciscoor The Crew – so it made sense to cancel the project. "What happens is that a game gets canceled, and then you take pieces of that game to make a new one. We could have had another driving engine from another team in another place, and then it would have been used by the Watch Dogs team."
Watch Dogs, which was originally due to launch this year, was pushed back to Spring 2014 in October. The delay contributed to a drop in Ubisoft's stock, though company president Yves Guillemot is adamant "the team needed additional time to realize the game's full potential."

Rockstar has released the first run of "Rockstar Verified" jobs for Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto 5. Chosen directly by Rockstar, these jobs represent some of the best content crafted by players using GTA Online's creation tools.
All told, 10 jobs have been verified, including six races and four deathmatches. Their content ranges from rooftop races to full-on military vehicle shootouts. The jobs were culled from both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTA 5 but, as Rockstar notes, these jobs are available on both platforms now that they've been verified. Players can expect "many, many more" Rockstar Verified jobs in the future.

Kazushige Nojima, a scenario writer for the Final Fantasy series, would love to see a Final Fantasy X-3 – and he says it may happen, if fans want it enough. Nojima is quoted in a book that launched with Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remasterin Japan this week, translated by Siliconera.
"If there's enough demand, then we may possibly see new developments," he says. "I would personally like to see a sequel like X-3."
Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will hit North American PS3s and Vitas on March 18 for $40, and European systems on March 21.

Despite issuing a hefty patch for next-gen recently, 2K Games reports some players are being locked out of NBA 2K14 content due to server connection issues.
A server connection, while not required to access all of the game's content, is necessary for handling virtual currency – which players use to purchase goods and attributes for their custom players – as well as certain modes such as MyTeam and NBA Today. When the game fails to connect to the 2K servers, it locks players out of this content.
An update, issued for the game last night, seems to have resolved a majority of the connection issues, though there are still problems with MyTeam and private TeamUp matches. 2K Games' Ronnie Singh has been active on Twitter today, providing status updates as the developers attempt to quell the server issues. Current-generation versions of the game seem to be good to go, while next-gen versions should have MyTeam working again in the "next few hours."

For now, the new PlayStation Vita is available in Japan only, which leaves US gamers with a tough predicament: pay through the nose to import it, or settle for the old model. Even our own Mat Smith, who owns the original Vita, is finding it tough to recommend it over the 2013 edition. But oh, how he does miss that OLED screen.
So, after loading up the Remote Play app on my Vita -- and pairing it to my PS3 -- I gave it a try. It's amazing, though there isn't the same leap in graphical proficiency when playing a PS4 title on the handheld. It's also a little too temperamental on the wireless connection, often timing out as you happen to leap from the back of a 100-foot giant to deal the final blow. There's plenty that still amazes me: the bright, vivid screen, useable analogue sticks on a handheld and the ability to play entire PS1 games. Technically, the last one might not sound that amazing, but because the Vita transposes controls so smoothly from the original PlayStation controller, games are a joy to play -- most of the time.
Using the rear touch panel just about covers the lack of L2 and R2 collar buttons, but this is just one of the many things the newest model does better, with a smaller rear panel making inadvertent presses even less likely. But the original model can still claim one advantage: it does have a (marginally) better screen, with improved color accuracy and contrast as a result of the OLED panel (which sadly bit the dust on the newest Vita). You'd have to be really picky to still want the old one, however, because the latest model, still only available in Japan, does everything else much better. I'd wait on that domestic launch announcement -- or take another look at the import costs.

While my colleague Acid_Snake is showing you 7 Days of Metal Gear, I am presenting you 7 Days of TN-V, in which we’ve reached the 7th revision of Total_Noobs TN-V eCFW.
After the promised TN-V4 kernel mode release, Total_Noob brought us even more revisions of his PS Vita eCFW, which now reached the status of TN-V7.
In TN-V7 he fixed various bugs and added another few awesome features, that every user of TN-V should really appreciate.
The changelog of the TN-V7 eCFW
* Added NoDRM engine. This allows you to play DLC’s and more. Valkyria Chronicles 3 E2 English Patch is now also supported.
(thanks to hrimfaxi for the idea (this one is written by me)).
* Added ‘PLUGINS MANAGER’ to VSH Menu. Now you can manage your plugins directly from VSH.
* Added ‘Restore ‘QSP’ folder’ to recovery menu (Advanced ->).
* Added support for homebrews without DISC_ID in their PARAM.SFO. This fixes for example the RIN GB/GBC emulator.
* Added check whether you have installed 6.60 files yet. If not, the recovery menu will boot automatically.
* Fixed loading of static ELF. Another factor that makes the RIN GB/GBC emulator and more homebrews working.
* Fixed bug where kxploit’ed/1.50 homebrews were not hidden when ‘Hide exploit game’ was enabled.
* Increased ISO limit from 32 to 128 games.
* Improved system stability. The ‘QSP’ bug shouldn’t appear anymore.
* Removed ‘Allow anti-CFW games’ from recovery menu, because it is only used for ‘DJ MAX Portable 3′. However, this game works now flawlessly without this option.
* The updater does not reset TN-V configurations anymore.
Total_Noob once again delivered a giant new changelog, with a lot of necessary fixes, some new features and even more improvements for his PS Vita TN-V eCFW.
What is your new favorite feature of TN-V7? Be sure to let us know in the comment section below.
TN-V7 is now officially supported by every (PS Vita) Exploit game
TN wasn’t the only one who was working on some code. Thanks to various people (qwikrazor, KanadeEngel and others) there are now available files for every released PS Vita exploit game.
Everyone who owns a working VHBL or eCFW at their PS Vita is now able to run TN-V7, if they are using the provided exploit savedata files.
The only game that got no files for any of the various TN-V eCFW revisions is the first PS Vita exploit game, Everybody’s Tennis. We think that no one uses the exploit anymore, and that’s the reason that no one bothered to create files for it.
Every other exploit game has its files and is ready to go for using TN-V. Here’s once again the list of every released PS Vita exploit game so far, and if you need the advice, then refer to this YouTube Playlist, which shows for every exploit game how to launch it properly.

* Merge pull request #4937 from unknownbrackets/gpu-minor
Ignore material update when no vertex color, softgpu vertex preview
* softgpu: Fix preview region y1 in ge debugger.
* softgpu: Implement vertex preview.
And move ConvertMatrix4x3To4x4() into a common place since there were
differing implementations, which was only confusing.
* softgpu: Use region for debugger buffer previews.
It's fine if it resizes or etc., but this should generally be the
interesting area of vram to show, without any confusing noise on the
side/etc.
* Fix typesafety (ScreenCoords not DrawingCoords.)
* Ignore the material update flag w/o vertex color.
Instead of using materialambient for all of them.
Fixes #3918, and seems to match tests with 3dstudio.

Fix pull request #4913
* Fix #4913
