Sackboy’s First PS4 Appearance is in The Playroom
The Playroom, for those of us who invested in the new PlayStation Camera, is a collection of bonus games that are fun to play in short bursts with friends and family. It's forced onto the console, so you can never delete it, but it's all but useless if you don't have the peripheral needed, and so a lot of people have managed not to see the moderate but very real fun offered. With that said, they've supported it well, with three free DLC packs now released. The latest update includes a very familiar character in his first appearance on the PlayStation 4.

Sony Confirmed The Last of Us PS4
Everybody has known about The Last of Us PS4 for, well, quite a while. It was turning up for pre-order in stores at the beginning of the year, and development was confirmed by a senior Sony employee last month. Stores were even accepting pre-orders and offering bonuses.

Sony Hints at new PS4 Features in Online Survey
A PlayStation-focussed survey from Sony seems to hint at some future features that might end up appearing on the PlayStation 4. Many are options that fans have been asking for, so it's nice to see they're paying attention to reaction. There's no reason to think these will pop up in the near future, or at all, but positive replies from those invited to the survey might mean certain things appear sooner than others.

A short teaser video from the official Call of Duty Instagram page shows a distinctly Predator-esque level, with a distinctly invisible threat hunting the player. Although it's not expressly said that Predator will be making an appearance in the next set of DLC maps, which the video is a teaser for, it's pretty obvious. The description even has the quote "If it bleeds..." in it.

GameStop Says New Generation Doing Better than Expected
Retailer GameStop reckons the new generation has been better than anybody could have expected, going so far as to outsell the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in store in their first 15 months on the market. Hardware sales were actually higher than anybody had hoped over the Christmas period, although software sales dropped. That's perhaps to be expected, if people are going out and buying new hardware.

The Last of Us is Coming to PS4
The Last of Us has been teased for PlayStation 4 multiple times since the console was released at the end of last year. It's no surprise either. The game was great, but suffered from some graphical issues as a result of it being made for old hardware. Naughty Dog did an absolutely amazing job hiding that fact, but occasional frame rate drops and odd lighting proved a next-gen version would be so much better. It seems that it might be happening, and sooner rather than later.
