PS4 Online Blocked for Countries Without a Store
PlayStation Plus isn't available everywhere, and neither is the PlayStation Store, and although Sony has made every effort to roll features out to every country interested, it's not always possible. Up until recently, this has been a minor inconvenience, a barrier that blocks some people from taking advantage of free games, digital purchases and cloud saves. What about for the PS4 though? It's today been confirmed that unless you have access to a PlayStation Store in your region, you won't be able to play online on Sony's next-gen console.

PS3 Titles Probably Won’t Be Included in PlayStation 4 Plus
Streaming games is going to become the norm in 2014 and a big part of that will be thanks to Gaikai and Sony. If you're not willing to pay, though, don't expect a full gaming experience. Sony have said that they're not entirely sure how they're going to handle the price model for PS3 streaming over Gaikai, but that it probably won't be included in PlayStation Plus (or at least, not as we know it). Fergal Gara, of SCEE, spoke about how things may be handled when the service goes live next year.

Tomura: “We may have announced [Kingdom Hearts 3] a little too early.”
It was the best moment of the Sony conference, up there alongside Final Fantasy XV: Kingdom Hearts 3 - in development.

Well, we may need to reel in our excitement a little bit. Series creator Tetsuya Nomura has told Famitsu that, while it was a necessary announcement to make, it may well have been a little too early.

Final Fantasy XV Screenshots, Battle Trailer
Final Fantasy XV, nee Final Fantasy Versus XIII, will probably be with us within the next 18 months. The excitement is palpable, and I'm sure people who have been waiting the best part of a decade for this are going to be obsessing over trailers and screens for months and weeks to come. We thought we'd make that a little easier by providing a few screens of our own.

Versus XIII is now Final Fantasy XV
Square Enix pulled out all the stops at this year's Sony E3 conference and, in less than ten minutes, completely shook the gaming world to its foundation. Not only was Kingdom Hearts going to get its first fully numbered sequel in seven or eight years, but Final Fantasy Versus XIII is officially coming to PlayStation 4.

Kingdom Hearts 3 “In Development”
Square Enix announced two things at this morning's Sony conference, the first - Final Fantasy XV - we'll cover in an upcoming post, but the latter was easily as exciting. After years of spin-offs across many different platforms, Kingdom Hearts 3 is in development. A short teaser trailer showed off a beautiful Traverse Town and a new look for Sora, as well as a swarm of heartless which Sora used to get around. How important will this mechanic be for the full game? How far is it in development? These are things that have not yet been shared.
