The PlayStation Recap – Calm Before the Storm Edition

Not a lot of time for game playing this week, as pre-E3 planning and a busy Blog publishing schedule) have kept me surprisingly tied up. What did I miss?

In other news this week, PlayStation’s cross-country tour has officially hit the road through November, Netherrealms dished out Mortal Kombat tips for you, Sorcery revealed members of its monstrous menagerie, the GT Academy competition moved to Round 3 and 4, PixelJunk 4am launched on PSN with a free viewer app, Lightbox Interactive showed a new Starhawk development diary chronicling the final hours of development, indie legends Superbrothers and Jim Guthrie announced their participation in the PS Vita musical platformer Sound Shapes, and the team behind upcoming Foosball 2012 revealed the nuances of their PlayStation Move support (Protip: It’s extensive).

    • Amersonjr2YAHOO

      i no right

    • Same here, but for Phantasy Star Portable 2.

      Which reminds me – with regards to what’s compatible with the PS Vita, who has control over PSP titles? You, or 3rd parties? ‘Cause Phantasy Star Portable 2 is mysteriously gone from the Store (not my Download list though), and Sega hasn’t said anything on that.

      Just saw the new Black Ops 2 Trailer during the Champions League Final (was eating ice cream in front of my 42″ plasma tv), and i gotta say that Black Ops 2 looks like complete TOTAL GARBAGE graphically LOL.

      But then that trash is developed primarily for xbox’s inferior last gen hardware, so no real surprise i guess :D

      Sid we the puertorrican audience need a PSBlog Puerto Rico in which we can participate on events since ALL OF THE PS BLOG EVENT PR ITS NOT PERMITED TO PARTICIPATE! and really tired of being ignored u know! :(

      • Wow, congrats on the Platinum! Definitely not an easy one to score. And as for Puerto Rico, I’ll keep your suggestion in mind :)

    • any news on the Call of duty for Vita or final fantasy 10 remake? we have been left in the dark about both. so one has to know. it’s driving me insane!

      • Nothing yet on Call of Duty for PS Vita, nor FFX. But I should mention that, as I understand it, FFX for Vita is not a remake, but a remastered update on the PS2 original game.

    • If u don’t mind me pointing out, i have some PS blog ideas that ARE “in action” but are not listed under the “in action” section, such as Parasite Eve 1 and 2 PSone Classics, mini golf game for PSP, Dino Crisis 2 as a PSone Classic and possibly more.

      • thanks, Sonicfan! We’re handing over control of Share to a different department who will better be able to keep up with this stuff (and get things in action), so I’ll start with this list.

    • Im going to E3 this year for the first time dont know what to expect other then huge lines to be honest

    • @3 yeah i know i thought that was weird too when i found out it had disapeared hope they put it back for vita soon
