PS4-Categories

We've seen this headline time and time again before, but it's never come to anything. The relationship between Epic and Microsoft on Gears of War has been fruitful for both parties, but the hope that the sci-fi shooter would someday make it to Sony consoles has been around as long as the PlayStation 3 has. And why not? They're great games.

Warner Bros. have today announced LEGO The Hobbit, a new LEGO game based in the world of Peter Jackson's latest epic fantasy trilogy. If LEGO Lord of the Rings is anything to go by, there'll be more than enough reference to JRR Tolkien's one-film-max 1937 novel as well.

There have been rumours, in the past few weeks, that Sony had bought the Crash Bandicoot IP and that they'd be reviving the franchise for the PlayStation 4. The story was actually pretty solid, consolidated by a teaser video and the removal of all references from the Activision website. According to Activision though, it was all a coincidence.

Sony have reset an amount of EU PlayStation Network passwords, forcing users to choose something new before they can re-access their online accounts. That's inconvenient enough, but they've done it on such a scale that there's a huge backlog of people waiting for password change emails, and Sony has no idea when they'll be caught up.

Sony are resetting countless PSN passwords as a security measure ahead of the PlayStation 4 launch next week. There also may have been attempts to break the network, although that is entirely unconfirmed (and based only on an official statement on the Sony forums). Either way, it means you may need to mess around with your account details next time you want to connect to the PSN.

The names of all four map packs for Call of Duty: Ghosts have apparently been revealed by Activision on accident. According to VG24/7, a gamer by the name of Fariko_Scorch, a member of the competitive gaming group Fariko, posted an email sent to him by Activision that detailed the upcoming DLC.  Here’s the tweet below:    @charlieINTEL i got a email from call of duty pic.twitter.com/urug90TKqE — Ryan (@Fariko_Scorch) November 21, 2013   This image is more than likely legit.…

The debut of the Playstation 4 has been a bit of a mixed bag, mainly due to a lack of noteworthy launch titles. So, pretty par for the course as far as new console launches are concerned. However, there have been many people online that have reported that their next-gen consoles are defective, some just flat-out not working. Game Informer recently spoke Sony about these issues:  “There have been several issues reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a…

A Florida man was shot dead after a deal gone wrong over a Playstation 4, the Orlando Sentinel reports. The victim, 25-year-old Emmanuel Johnson, met up with another man at around 4:30 p.m. November 17th to haggle over the PS4. The two were originally supposed to meet near the Orlando police headquarters, but one of them decided to change the location at the last minute. When they finally met, things went from bad to worse and a shootout ensued, killing Johnson and wounding the other man. The shooting is still under investigation.

Cross-gen games are definitely going to be a thing in the first year of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, especially from third party developers. The latest to be added to the list of maybes (along with The Last of Us and Grand Theft Auto V) is Tomb Raider, which Amazon have listed for the PlayStation 4.

  The Playstation 4 broke the 1 million units sold mark in 24 hours. Since the system isn’t available in Europe yet (it will be on November 29, Februrary 2014 in Japan), this number only refers to North American retail sales. To put this in perspective, the Playstation 3 only sold 197,000 units in its first two weeks. Here’s more from the official press release:  TOKYO, Nov. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that the…
