Xbox One “Sold Out” Around the World
Earlier this week, Sony confirmed that they'd sold over two million PlayStation 4 units worldwide. Microsoft have yet to officially confirm their sales numbers (and I suppose there's no reason that they have to), but they have said that they're sold out in retailers around the world. But who cares about any of that? How are Microsoft doing when measured in ZOMBIES!
PlayStation 4 hits 2 Million+ Sales Worldwide
Sony have this morning announced that their PlayStation 4 console, launched this past weekend in Europe, has sold 2.1 million units worldwide. That's a record breaker, folks, and it still hasn't released everywhere.
Phantom Pain is a Long Time from Release
Some were surprised when the learnt that Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain would be two separate games, but perhaps they'll be more surprised by the length of time that it's going to take between the two. Hideo Kojima took to Famitsu this week and said that Konami had come up with the idea of a prologue title after realizing just how far from finished The Phantom Pain was.
Peggle 2 Coming December 9th
Peggle 2, the pin-popping puzzle game from Popcap, will be making its debut at the beginning of next week, exclusively for the Xbox One. It's a timed exclusive, and it'll make the jump to other consoles at some point in the future, but until then you'll need Microsoft's latest if you want to play the long awaited sequel to one of the better Popcap titles.
Call of Duty Introduces Robot Zombies in a Mode You’ll Never Play
Zombies mode, introduced in World at War and brought back for every Treyarch developed Call of Duty since, has become a staple of one of the biggest franchises in gaming, and one of the leading reasons some buy into the shooter every second year. Don't worry though. When you kill every zombie, cut through each piece of rotting flesh and are finally safe, there's another thing to worry about: Robot Zombies.
The Walking Dead Season 2 Coming This Month
Well, after a rather explosive episode of The Walking Dead aired this week, I’m sure we’re all hoping to find some way of getting our franchise fix to tide us over until the show continues in February next year. “Coincidentally,” TellTale is on hand to provide. The official TellTale Twitter account yesterday confirmed that the first episode of season two of The Walking Dead would debut later this month. The episode will be called “All That Remains,” and will feature…
PlayStation 4 Console Review
The PlayStation 3's launch was full of potential, but in the end fell short of instant love. Sony had underestimated the importance of social and online features and so had paled in comparison to Xbox 360 in that regard, and the cost and available games did nothing to help the situation. Sony hasn't made the same mistake twice. The PlayStation 4 is the perfect console for today, with room to grow as the industry does.
Sony Confirms Prices of PSN Digital Launch Titles
Looking to spend some digital cash tomorrow, but want to make sure you're not getting entirely ripped off? Earlier this week, there were reports of high pricing on the PlayStation Store and... there still is. But it's come down to match retail stores (which is to be expected) and now shouldn't be too rough on those virtual wallets.
UK PS4 Launch Should be Smoother than US Launch
Was going to pick up a PlayStation 4 but suddenly felt a little nervous after hearing nightmare stories from the US launch? Don't worry. Sony UK boss Fergal Gara today revealed that they've used the small gap between the UK and US launches to fix some of the issues the system had over the pond.
PS4 Lifecycle Will be Shorter than PS3
Last generation was far too long, and while it allowed for the development of impressive platform-pushers like The Last of Us, it also led to reduced sales and even studio closures. Thankfully, it seems Sony will be swapping things out a little more this time around, with the PlayStation 4 lifecycle reduced over its predecessor.
