What a week, huh?

In case your internet’s been out for the past few days, on Wednesday we announced our new console — PlayStation 4. With new, supercharged hardware (8GB of unified DDR5 memory!), the sleek new DualShock 4, seamless social features, enhanced Remote Play capabilities, and other technological leaps, the next generation is looking mighty fine indeed. Keep PS.Blog bookmarked (or subscribe to the RSS feed), because we’ll be bringing you white-hot PS4 news as it becomes available, leading up to its Holiday 2013 launch.

I might be a little late to the party here, but I’ve been reading the Injustice prequel comic (see IGN’s Q&A with its writer, Tom Taylor, here), and it’s a doozy.

This week on PlayStation.Blog, LittleBigPlanet and PlayStation Home got some Valentine’s Day DLC, Inspector Carmelita Fox tried her luck in the online dating market, we talked about the tough choices you’ll have to make in upcoming PS Vita epic Soul Sacrifice, Urban Trial Freestyle on PS3 and PS Vita gets an off-the-wall challenge mode, and lots more!

I got to play some Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance this week, and though it’s my first Platinum game, I’m suddenly very interested in checking out the dev’s earlier work. I also grabbed Closure since it’s free on PlayStation Plus, and it’s making for some relaxing (but sometimes disturbing) nighttime gaming. Rounding out my week is the smoothly animated new PS Vita release Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken.

What are you playing this weekend?

Kratos made himself comfortable on PS.Blog this week, with not only an uncharacteristically heartfelt new trailer for God of War: Ascension, but his very own custom PS3 bundle. Agent 47′s earlier assignments went HD on Blu-ray and PSN, DC Universe Online got some new DLC, we dove into some of the new enhancements in this year’s installment of MLB The Show, Tearaway’s new trailer introduced the island of Sogport (and atoi, the game’s adorable alternate protagonist), we rolled out yet another great excuse to pick up PlayStation Plus (if, for some reason, you’ve still been on the fence)… and we haven’t even mentioned Soul Sacrifice, Killzone: Mercenary or Vice City.
