The upgraded support is accompanied by a few other relevant tweaks.
In addition to introducing Cross Buy, Sony dropped some other relevant Vita information. Version 1.80 of the system firmware will bring with it support for PSone Classics. Though the feature was planned and announced before the release of the system, it wasn't ready for the release or in the months following. On August 28 that will change as the company begins incrementally rolling out full support for the hefty catalog.
Cross play may have just gotten a bit more relevant.
During today's Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, Sony released information about a brand new initiative that will start this fall with the release of its flagship titles. The "Cross Buy" program will allow players who purchase the PlayStation 3 version of a game to also take the same title on the go at no extra cost. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale will lead the initiative, netting owners of the PlayStation 3 title a free digital copy for their portable Vita.
Brand new IP emphasizes the role of memory swapping.
Today at Gamescom 2012, Capcom officially announced a brand new IP set in futuristic Neo Paris, known as Remember Me. The title, which has been announced for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, will star a female protagonist known as Nilin who is described as a “memory hunter.”
So a scientist, a reporter, a doctor, and a detective walk into a bar...
The point and click adventure game—such a prolific part of PC gaming in the ‘90s—has seen a renaissance in recent years. A large part of that is thanks to the episodic releases of Telltale Games, as well as the proliferation of Kickstarter breathing new life into old IPs. But by and large these games are trading in on gamer nostalgia. You remember Leisure Suit Larry, don’t you? How about Escape From Monkey Island? While revisiting those classic games can be fun, there’s something to be said about having an original title that hits the same beats as those old adventure games. That’s exactly what XII Games has done with Resonance—a new adventure game that could have easily occupied shelf space right next to Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle.
Visceral Games Montreal looks to create a “more mature and gritty” experience.
EA has just announced the next installment in the Army of Two series, known as “The Devil’s Cartel.” Announced for the Xbox 360 and PS3, the new title will utilize DICE’s Frostbite 2 engine.
It seems zombies aren’t the only enemies.
Set in the same universe as the graphic novel of the same name, this episodic tale follows the story of Lee Everet, an ex-convict with a troubled past and his interactions with the characters he meets. Though zombies are the primary antagonists of The Walking Dead series, one theme that the series drives home is the fact that everyday people can be just as, if not more dangerous than the undead. Episode 2: Starved For Help continues this theme.
The next title from Platinum Games is being pushed back.
Last month, it was confirmed that Anarchy Reigns, the next title from Platinum Games, was being delayed in the western markets. How long that delay would be wasn't made clear at the time. Sega has now confirmed that we won't be seeing the title in western markets until Q1 2013.
