Official Sony Website Accidentally Reveals PS4 Price

Thomas Wakelin — Tue, 21 May 2013 10:09:37 +0000

As we get closer and closer to the official next generation console reveal from Microsoft it was obvious that Sony was going to try and get in on some publicity but we imagine they didn’t have an official leak in mind…

Yesterday the company revealed a teaser trailer which showed their next generation console, the PlayStation 4, in numerous fuzzy shots adding yet further speculation to what their next home console will actually look like. However, over at the official Sony India website, further information was revealed about the console which has since been pulled from the product description page. The price of the console!

Thankfully with internet users being… internet users, someone was able to take a screen print of the page before it was taken down which listed a ‘base model’ which included a 250GB hard drive for… €399.

Would you be happy paying this price for the next generation of PlayStation hardware, assuming that this would be the official price? Let us know your thoughts, views and opinions over at our Facebook page!

Angry Birds movie Getting The Simpsons Treatment

Thomas Wakelin — Tue, 21 May 2013 10:01:23 +0000

You may have heard that an Angry Birds film will soon be flocking to cinema screens across the world in the hope to get yet even more money from the flock of creatures which seem to take joy in knocking down small buildings and taking out pigs. Well that film may actually turn out to be pretty good as Jon Vitti has agreed that he will work with Rovio by writing the film!

Jon Vitti is mostly known for his fantastic writing talents in writing success stories such as ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘King of the Hill’. When asked for their thoughts after announcing the partnership, Rovio CEO Mikael Hed had this to say:
“I’m very excited that Jon and Catherine have joined us, bringing with them their vast expertise. I’m confident we are building the right team to deliver an amazing movie experience to our fans.”

The Angry Birds film itself is due to be released in cinemas worldwide in 2016. Will you be one of the (hopefully many) games fans to go and see the film?

FIFA 14 Subbed Off For Wii U

Thomas Wakelin — Tue, 21 May 2013 09:51:52 +0000

EA has confirmed that the next instalment in the immensely popular FIFA series will not be making its way to Nintendo’s next generation console after it announced last week that it had no games in development for the system.

This means that although, it is thought, the Xbox 360, PS3, Next-Box and PS4 will be getting the game, Nintendo gamers will have to make do without their fix of football on their console.

Speaking to Eurogamer, the company had this to say:
“Six months ago FIFA 13 was a launch title on Wii U. Although the game featured FIFA’s award-winning HD gameplay and innovative new ways to play, the commercial results were disappointing. We have decided not to develop FIFA 14 on Wii U.”

Is this yet another nail hammered into to the Wii U’s early coffin?

Nintendo, via their Twitter account, have revealed plans to discuss the next Smash Bros., Mario Kart, a 3D Mario and more at their next Nintendo Direct before E3 2013 officially kicks off.

#IwataSays We will discuss new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles in our #NintendoDirectNA before the start of E3

— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) May 17, 2013

With Nintendo not having an on stage press conference this year, they’ve opted to have a number of Nintendo Directs, with the first taking place last week and revealing a couple of big announcements like: Sonic Lost World, a partnership with SEGA and a team up with Best Buy, in which some of their E3 titles will be playable at select Best Buy stores.

It’s been a long time since we last got any news regarding a Smash Bros. sequel. Perhaps we’ll get more than a couple of screenshots to hold us over.

Ubisoft Still Believes in the Wii U

Tom Stovall — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:31:03 +0000

After last week’s explosive statements from an engineer over at EA, it seems like Nintendo’s Wii U may not have many friends left. Even Ubisoft, at one point looked like it was jumping ship by changing their minds, and making Rayman Legends a platform wide release instead of an exclusive for Wii U. In light of recent events, however, Ubisoft has come back around and is steadfast in its belief that the Wii U can pull through amidst the incoming onslaught of the soon to be revealed Microsoft Xbox 720 (next-box) and PS4 consoles. Ubisoft is hoping that, with their list of upcoming hot titles, Nintendo will utilize the opportunity to take advantage of displaying these third party games in a unique way.

A Ubisoft representative said to GamesIndustry International, “As with any new console, it takes some time to grow an established base. Ubisoft has a varied and high-quality line-up for Wii U, with more big titles on the way including Rayman Legends, Watch_Dogs, Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag and Splinter Cell Blacklist.” While EA almost made it certainly clear that they would not be designing “any” games for the Wii U they did not rule out making any in the future. Therefore, Nintendo and its Wii U still have a friend in Ubisoft, and hopefully one, that if the friendship dies, it too will not be just a memorable legend as Rayman is.
