    Here at PlayStation, we are extremely grateful for the service that our U.S. Armed Forces provide for us every single day. I’m delighted to announce today that PlayStation will serve as the first-ever partner of NBA Cares Hoops for Troops, a year-round initiative led by the league, its teams, and players to support the members of the U.S. Armed forces and their families. Through this initiative the NBA and PlayStation, in conjunction with the USO, will host Hoops for Troops service projects throughout the season at military bases around the country providing the bases with PS4 systems and games as well as basketball hoop installations. We could not be more excited to have the opportunity to support the NBA’s Hoops for Troops program and the U.S. servicemen and women who do so much for us all. View the full article

    Playing a musical instrument is a lifelong journey. No matter when you start, you’re never really done — there’s always something new to learn. So if you started learning how to play guitar or bass on PS3 with Rocksmith or Rocksmith 2014, it’s only natural that you’d want to continue on your PS4. Well, here’s good news: as of today, you’ll be able to pick up Rocksmith 2014 on PS4 — and if you do, a dozen Jimi Hendrix songs are headed your way next month, for free. The PS4 version of Rocksmith 2014 Edition contains all the content of its predecessor; nothing has been removed in the transition to the latest hardware. You’ll get 55 songs from bands like Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Boston, Slayer, Foo Fighters, and Aerosmith (just to name a handful), plus interactive lessons that cover everything from how to tune and change your guitar strings up through complex chords, pinch harmonics, and two-hand tapping. Beyond the song library, Rocksmith 2014 offers Guitarcade mode, a retro-style mini-game collection that makes you forget you’re actually building valuable skills; Session Mode, which encourages you to stretch out and improvise with a customizable backing band that follows your direction; and a detailed Tone Designer, a sonic playground of amps and effects where you can dial in the exact sounds you hear in your head. Whether you’ve never picked up a guitar or bass before or you’re a seasoned musician looking for fresh inspiration, Rocksmith 2014 offers a complete package. You’ll find some PS4-specific perks, too. The visuals are now 1080p native, so the note highways and detailed lesson videos will look better than ever before. Thanks to the PS4′s built-in Share functionality, you’ll be able to stream your Session Mode jams or Guitarcade playthroughs directly to Twitch with the touch of a button. And if you’re a PlayStation Vita owner, you can use Remote Play to send Rocksmith 2014 to your portable screen and practice even when you’re not plugged in. If you are one of those returning players I mentioned at the start, here’s great news: any DLC songs you’ve purchased on your PS3 will be downloadable on PS4 at no additional cost. That includes the DLC songs that came out for the original Rocksmith back in 2011! (Patience, though — since we’re talking about several hundred songs, we expect them to become available by the end of the year). Plus, anyone who picks up the PS4 edition before January 31st, 2015 will be able to download a dozen songs by guitar legend Jimi Hendrix absolutely free. These songs won’t be released until December 16th, but when they’re released, all PS4 owners can download them at no cost: Purple Haze The Wind Cries Mary Fire Little Wing Bold As Love Foxey Lady Castles Made Of Sand Freedom Manic Depression If 6 Was 9 Voodoo Child (Slight Return) Red House The Jimi Hendrix 12-song pack would normally cost $29.99 — and it will, after January 31st — so make sure you download them on PS4 from the in-game Shop menu item during that magic freebie period starting mid-December. They’ll keep you challenged! If learning to play guitar or bass is one of your lifelong goals, Rocksmith 2014 might be the way to finally achieve it. Through Rocksmith 2014, we’ve seen people learn to play in just 60 days — and you might be surprised at what you can do, too. View the full article

    For fans who’ve been waiting to play The Wolf Among Us on PS4 or PS Vita, the wait is over! All 5 episodes in the season are now available in stores and via download, and the whole season is also available on PS3 at retail for the first time today. And in case you missed it earlier, The Walking Dead: Season Two is now available on PS4 and Vita as well! The Wolf Among Us looks just as gorgeous on Vita as it does on a bigger screen with the PS4. When we first started working on the series, we implemented some new stuff in our engine to make the visuals look as much as possible like a moving comic book, and both the Vita and PS4 do a fantastic job of showing that off. Not sure what The Wolf Among Us is all about? It’s a Telltale episodic series based on the award-winning Fables comics by Bill Willingham, where fairytale characters are real and live in exile in New York City. Don’t be fooled by its fairytale origins though; this is definitely a mature title. As Sheriff Bigby Wolf (THE Big Bad Wolf), you’ll find the story is kicked off by a brutal, bloody murder, but that’s really just the beginning of what turns out to be a very deep, dark, and dangerous rabbit hole… As ever, thanks for reading — and if you’ve already played Wolf, thanks for sharing this season with us! Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below. View the full article

    Retro City Rampage: DX, the top-to-bottom remaster of the original game will make its PS4 debut along with the brand new PS3 and PS Vita DX versions this November 11th, complete with cross buy and cross save for all three consoles. With a 20% off PlayStation Plus launch week discount, you’ll get all three for $7.99 ($9.99 without Plus). That’s only around $3 for each platform, and much less than the original RCR’s $14.99 launch price. So What’s ‘DX,’ Exactly?Those who’ve been following RCR will know just how much the game has changed since the original launch. Within weeks of the original RCR’s 2012 release, updates made vehicles faster, added more checkpoints, tutorials, hints screens, and tweaked missions. Those changes made great improvements, but still just scratched the surface. DX is a top-to-bottom remastering of just about everything. For DX, every single mission’s been re-tuned. Vehicles. Weapons. Challenges. Visual Effects. Visual Enhancements. Checkpoints. Difficulty. Challenges. From the game’s core to sprinkles on top, such as parking garages and waypoints, it’s more than just a new coat of paint. The care I put into the game was reciprocated when DX was released on 3DS earlier this year. I felt more love from players and reviewers than ever before, earning almost unanimous 9/10s across the board and sales to match. After the chaos and stress surrounding the original 2012 launch, things finally came together according to plan and the reception I yearned for followed. Retooling the game for the smaller screen also really taught me a lot about its play experience. I saw how a closer more dynamic camera, brewed out of hardware limitations, actually made things feel more exciting. Selecting weapons from a grid instead of cycling through them made combat more fluid. The changes added up, and it was clear they’d be at home on HD systems too. Not just for the TV, but for the PS Vita as well – boasting not just a new zoom mode and touch functionality, but a completely new UI specifically for the handheld. So, after the many months of working on this is secret, I’m incredibly excited be able to not only announce it, but announce it with a solid release date! No more “coming soon†this time! It’s a wrap! November 11th, 2014! Retro City Rampage: DX includes both RCR:DX and the original RCR for the purists. Big overhauls were made to re-balance the missions, difficulty, weapons and even police AI, but if you want to stick with the original version, you can flip the switch under the Help & Options menu. New zoom modes, a dynamic camera and a new lightweight HUD bring you closer to the action. Up close, the action packs more punch and driving feels much faster. The new 3X zoom option’s tailored specifically for the PS Vita, but also available on PS3 and PS4. Car engines were beefed up in RCR updates after the very first release two years ago, but the new dynamic camera doubles the *ooOOMPH!*. You’ll feel the difference when you compare 1X to 3X zoom and economy cars start to feel sportier. Once again though, purists can still play with the original zoom mode and original status bar style HUD. The two graphics modes give you the option to amp the graphics up or trim them back. The updated “RETRO+†graphics mode delivers more eye candy with better shadows and more effects. The new “8-BIT†mode on the other hand, makes the game look even closer to something dug up from the ’80s. More video filter options are also included, from color modes to a widescreen tube border. You can now also eliminate the border completely but still use the scanline or dot-matrix filters. MissionsEvery single mission has been touched up, offering a better experience overall. Certain missions have been edited to improve pacing. In Death Cam VHS, for example, you won’t need to clear so many enemies during the melee section. During the car dodge tutorial, you won’t need to jump so much. It’s little changes like this which just make for a smoother ride. They’ve also been hand tuned to work with the new 3X zoom mode, making the new PS Vita experience the best it can be. Controls and WeaponsControls have been tweaked. You can now jump immediately after firing weapons, making dodging enemies even easier. Weapons have been rebalanced, some boasting more damage, many with more satisfying effects. The cars and explosions blast more effects too – but purists can still stick to the classic “8-BIT†for more authentic ’80s experience. A new weapon select screen can be toggled, pausing the game mid-action and enabling you to more easily switch weapons when your inventory’s full. It also supports touch on the PS Vita. The PS4 version also has optional vibration support in case you want to feel the pixels thud under your pixel tires. Arcade Challenges and TrophiesThe weapon updates noticeably improve the Arcade Challenges, but many challenges have been reworked themselves as well. Second-Rate Sprees, for example, now run 30 seconds instead of 60, tightening rounds up to dethrone your friends from the leaderboards. Two completely separate sets of leaderboards are now included, so ‘RCR:DX’ players won’t be facing off directly against players of the original ‘RCR’ mode. With the freedom to rework things from top to bottom, ‘DX’ was able to boast a brand new trophy set too, which is now easier to 100%. Hijacking WeaponsThe city now has more to do, populated with weapon trucks. Getting the right tool for the job is now a lot more convenient. You can purchase your weapons or try your luck and attempt to hijack them. Spelunky shop keeper style, so to speak. Losing the CopsThe wanted level system and police AI have been deepened to create more of a cat and mouse metagame. Instead of running, if you stop to fight, clearing the screen of cops will help get them off your tail. Defeating three or more cops will spawn a Cop Coin which lowers your wanted level. You can still also spray your vehicle, find coins, or change your look with a new haircut, but this makes it much more fun and convenient. It’s balanced out with slightly more challenging police. If want to make things even more challenging, you can disable the coin drops from the pause menu. Minimap, Touch and UIThe new HUD brings a larger minimap with it, which now displays more than just missions and challenges, also weapon, spray and power-up shops, as well as enemies. You can also set it to display other locations, such as specific shops. The larger minimap makes navigating the city much easier as you’re able to see all of the roads and alleys ahead, choosing the optimal route to a destination. You can zoom into the minimap with a single button press now, as well as set waypoints. The entire front end and UI have been redone for the PS Vita, including touch support. Parking Garages‘DX’ brings massive parking garages to Theftropolis. You can park one of every vehicle equipped however you like (that’s 54 parking spots!), and access them from any other garage around the city like a vehicle teleporter! JukeboxFor chiptune fanatics, ‘DX’ now includes a 147 track music jukebox, enabling you to queue up hours of the incredible music composed by Jake ‘virt’ Kaufman, Freaky DNA and Norrin Radd. The PlayStation Scoop!In case you missed it, it’s 3X Cross Buy! Yup! The PS4, PS3 and PS Vita versions of DX all sold together as one for only $7.99 for PlayStation Plus members during the launch week ($9.99 without Plus). Owners of the original Retro City Rampage for PS3 and PS Vita can transfer their save games to the new DX version via Cross-Save. The new DX version is a separate purchase, but keep in mind that with DX, you’re getting the PS4 version, a brand new Trophy set and new leaderboards. Owners of the original RCR who transfer their save game to DX will also earn a shiny elite star next to their score on the leaderboards. Last call! The original Retro City Rampage will be delisted from the PS Store and replaced with Retro City Rampage: DX in order to avoid customer confusion. While DX includes a mode to play the original RCR, if for some reason you would prefer the pure original, grab it before it’s too late. If you already own the original RCR, you not be affected by this. You will still be able to re-download it indefinitely, at any time. The delisting will only prevent new purchases. That’s not all though! More Retro City Rampage surprises are still to be announced in the coming month. A pretty big one, in fact!

    Hey Vita fans! Andreas Firnigl here again. I’m one of the guys at Nosebleed Interactive, the folks bringing you The Hungry Horde for PS Vita. We’ve been working super hard for the last few months to make the game feel as slick and polished as possible so I’m really excited and proud to finally be able to tell you that you’ll be able to race up the leaderboards and compete with friends tomorrow when the game finally rises from the grave… and goes live on PlayStation Store. In case you missed our first PlayStation.Blog post here’s a quick recap on the basics of the game. The core premise is that you play as your very own horde of zombies fighting for survival (a sort of reverse survival horror, I suppose). Humans you “recruit†join your ever increasing horde in a constant race against the clock to escape the area before the military nuke you. The guys over at XDEV Studio Europe were kind enough to send me over to Gamescom in August (thanks chaps!) where we had a short demo on the show floor. All of us were equal parts anxious and excited to see what the players would think of it. I spent a lot of time watching people play and it was an amazing feeling seeing people laugh and smile at the demo. What was especially cool, was seeing people have “just one more goâ€, which at a show where the likes of The Order: 1886 and Project Morpheus were playable just round the corner, was wonderful. As we covered in the last post, The Hungry Horde is chock full of minigames. You can find them hidden in presents within the main game, and they offer a little breather from the hectic action as well as a chance to win extra prizes. Everybody has their favorite, so I thought I’d share a bit about my own: Pacifist Island. In it, you play as a lone zombie on a beautiful tropical island, just minding your own business. You’re not the usual rage-filled, bloodthirsty undead type. You like peace and quiet and coconuts. Unfortunately, the military aren’t quite so diplomatic and they’re out to get you. Survive as long as possible by dodging bullets and positioning yourself so the soldiers, tanks and helicopters hit each other instead of you. A lot of the inspiration for Pacifist Island has come from bullet-hell shooters — we even threw in some cool, coconut-based power-ups for good measure. Of course there are more mini-games, like the light gun inspired Cryo Crisis and microscopic-collect-em-up Infection, but you’ll have to play the game to see what they’re about! One of the things we haven’t shown off yet is the sticker album. We really wanted everything in our game to feel tangible and tactile, from the playable arcade cabinets and ghetto-blaster right through to the menu system. Our menu is set up like a sticker album with over 150 collectible stickers. Special foil stickers unlock minigames and extras and everything looks and feels like you’re flicking through a real sticker book. We’re hoping people are going to love earning stickers, opening packs and trying to fill the book. There’s a lot to do. And on the subject of “lots to doâ€, another thing we haven’t spoken about yet is Trophies. We LOVE trophies! It took a bit of persuasion but after seeing the Trophies we had planned our producer at XDEV said “Yes, I’ll make sure you guys can have Platinum Trophy support.†If that’s not enough for you though, we also have 150 in-game objectives to complete, you know, just because they’re fun!

    Happy Halloween, everyone! Halloween happens to fall on a Friday this year, and to celebrate the kickoff of a Halloween weekend the SuckerPunch developers will host a special Twitch treat. Three years ago, after inFAMOUS 2 shipped, we looked at the calendar and realized we had the perfect window to do something really fun… a Halloween themed inFAMOUS DLC! That’s when Festival of Blood came to life as a tall tale Zeke Dunbar rattles off in a bar to impress a lady patron. His tale follows Cole McGrath on a quest through the streets and grave yards of New Marais. Cole is racing against the clock to kill the vampire that bit him before he turns into a child of the night forever. Festival of Blood is one of our favorites, so we’d like to invite you to join us as we take a walk down memory lane this Halloween. Tune in to our livestream at 4:00 PM Pacific and watch Jason Connell, Jason Stansell, and Billy Harper play inFAMOUS Festival of Blood with you and give you all the juicy details behind the game! If you haven’t played it yet, inFAMOUS Festival of Blood is available for download from the PlayStation Store. View the full article

Sir Galahad (below) is our mustached leader of the Knights of the Order, and it also happens to be November later this week. What happens when you combine mustaches with November? You get Movember, and we want you to join The Order team to help raise money for charity. More information about Movember can be found here, and this entire event is for all, regardless of gender. Even if you cannot or do not want to grow a mustache, you can still help! We’ve compiled a list below of all the ways you can join Ready At Dawn, The Order: 1886, and Movember in changing the face of men’s health. Starting November 1st, you can: Start growing a mustache and join our official team on the Movember website. Start “growing†a fake mustache, or draw one across your upper lip, and join our team. Donate either to “The Order†team, or to any of the participants within our team. Follow along with our progress on @RAD_Studios and @TheOrder1886 on Twitter. Take a photo of yourself with a DualShock 4 as a replacement for a mustache and share it with the world, along with a link to our Movember page: http://bit.ly/TheOrderMovember. Don’t forget to tag it with #DS4Movember! To kick off number 5, the co-founders of Ready At Dawn, Ru Weerasuriya and Andrea Pessino, will be the first to show off their own custom DualShock 4 mustaches, ready for #DS4Movember ahead.

Thank you to everyone for reading this, and we really hope you choose to participate with the team inside Ready At Dawn. Remember that once you join our team, start spreading the word by asking your friends, family, and random internet strangers to donate to Movember, and change the face of men’s health.

    It’s a good time to be an Eorzean. Final Fantasy XIV patch 2.4, Dreams of Ice, has just released, adding new dungeons, the rogue class and ninja job, a new primal battle with long-standing series summon Shiva, The Final Coil of Bahamut — the third and final chapter of FFXIV’s ultimate end-game raid, and countless other tweaks and new features. Square Enix also just announced FFXIV 3.0 Heavensward, a whole new expansion that will add way too much content for me to list in an opening paragraph. Well okay, a few highlights: Dark Knight class! New areas and primals! New playable race! Flying Chocobos and single-rider airships! That’s all coming in Spring 2015. Finally, fans worldwide have had the chance to attend the first-ever FFXIV Fan Festival — recently held in Las Vegas and London, with an upcoming stop in Tokyo. I attended the first of these events, and had the great pleasure of sitting down with Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P to his friends and fans), the producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Naoki Yoshida: Thank you so much for taking time to come to the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival — our first one — here in Las Vegas. It’s an honor to have you here with us. “It’s all because the fans have supported us.†PlayStation.Blog: Thank you for putting this festival together! Many events year-round host hundreds of games, but there are so many people here who are just incredibly passionate about Final Fantasy XIV. NY: It’s been a long road. We went through 1.0 and the trouble there, then into 2.0, and getting here to 3.0 and this Fan Festival… it’s been a crazy ride, but it’s all because the fans have supported us and we thank you for that. PSB: FFXIV is one of the few MMOs to exist on PC and console simultaneously. Is it challenging to keep updates consistent across three platforms? NY: Actually, there aren’t that many challenges, because this is how the game was planned from the beginning. We have our graphics engine, which will work on low-end and high-end machines, so we don’t have to think “Okay, we can implement this but because we have to implement it on PS3 we won’t implement it here.†We don’t need to think about that because it’s been in our plan from the beginning to be able to make something that will work on all of these systems. Now, there are things like, the PS3 has less memory so not as many characters can be displayed on-screen at the same time, but we don’t let that control how we make each patch so we don’t think of it as a challenge. Ravana, a brand-new primal created for Final Fantasy XIV The Dark Knight, a new playable tank class in Heavensward PSB: You just announced a lot of new things here at Fan Fest: Heavensward, more details for upcoming patches… you even talked a bit about 2.5. How do you keep track of all this content? How do you implement these things in such a way that no one aspect of the game becomes unbalanced? NY: We have been planning stuff that’s going to be released now and into 2.5 for over a year. When we made our plan for 2.0, we made that plan all the way to the end of 2.0 as well. Other than ad-libbing new content when we get feedback from players, we pretty much already know what we’re going to do. It’s not like we’re making stuff up as we go and having to do it immediately! Not just what we’re going to release and at what times, but things like when are we going to raise item levels, when are we going to release a new part of the raid, and when we are going to fix or adjust other parts of the raids. So basically we’re going to make sure that the balance isn’t going to break if we do these things, because they’re already in our plans. Maybe we’re making two dungeons at a time — even though from the player’s perspective it looks like we’re making two things at the same time, within our company we have things split up so our devs don’t get confused either. They know “Okay, I’m working on this 2.4 thing,†or “I’m working on this 3.0 thing.†We have this giant task board with all of the tasks and timelines and what people are supposed to do — it’s such a large project that we have more than 10 project managers making sure that everything is getting done on time and that everyone knows what to do. If anyone’s going to be confused, it’s going to be myself. [laughs] PSB: Final Fantasy XIV continues to grow and improve with each update — a couple of my favorite recent additions are Syrcus Tower and Hullbreaker Isle. Is there any content on your personal wishlist you’ve got tucked away, waiting for an opportunity to slip it into the next patch or start working on it? NY: There’s a lot! Thinking of new things to add is our job. There are lots of things we want to do, but the technology isn’t ready yet, or it would take too long to develop and implement. We know players really want to get into Chocobo breeding and raising — there are lots of things like that we know the players want. Programmers have already started working on new things that we’re planning on adding in 2.5. We’ve learned so much over these past few years programming and trying new things in 2.0; we’re going to try a lot more things in 3.0. We have a lot of cool stuff that we’re planning for it, but there are people in this room who don’t want us to say anything, so… [laughs] “We’re going to try a lot more things in 3.0.†PSB: I noticed earlier that while you were on stage you pantomimed playing with a controller — do you normally play with a controller, or with a keyboard and mouse? NY: Because I am the producer and director, it’s my job to show the people of the world that you can beat this difficult content, these difficult duties, with a controller. So at work, whenever I do my checks on new content and duties, it’s always with a controller. So when I was out there playing on the floor with fans, I was playing with a controller. Those guys out there are hardcore, so I knew they’d be watching closely, but I think I did a good job keeping my DPS up. At home I play with a gaming keyboard and mouse, and if you look at my screen it’s just hotbars everywhere [laughs]. But yeah, when it comes down to it, I want to make sure the controller mode works and is usable by all players, so that’s why I test it. The one I don’t use the most is probably a normal keyboard and mouse — I’d probably have a hard time using that. Bismarck, another new primal you’ll battle in Heavensward PSB: You’ve managed to translate a very complex control scheme to an input device with far fewer inputs, and everything still manages to feel intuitive, thanks to some clever control combinations you’ve included. For example: hitting up and down on the D-pad to select party members (which makes healing much easier), or hitting L2 + R1 to cycle through hostile targets. NY: Just to tell you a little more about that controller mode, the idea of how to do it came really quickly with the Cross Hotbar, but it took a lot of time to get it to feel just right. You mentioned the toggling: the first time we had that, doing Cross Hotbars and toggling at the same time, it didn’t work the way we had it so we’d be playing and saying “I can’t do this, we gotta fix this!†Then we’d fix it and get feedback from the players during and after our beta phases, and create something that feels right for everyone. We’ve put a lot of work into it, and for you to tell us that it’s great is one of the best compliments we can get. PSB: Have you explored any enhanced sharing functionality to tap into PS4′s Share button? For instance, a photo mode like some recent games have implemented? NY: We’ve been getting that same kind of feedback from PC users as well. These are your characters, and you want to people to see them! We understand that. Not just for PS4, but for PC as well to have some kind of photo mode to give players more ways to show off their character is definitely something we’re considering. The biggest thing for us is we want all our players to have the same experience. We don’t want there to be any difference in experience between PC and PlayStation. We’ve had a lot of help from Sony to help us achieve that same type of experience, and we want to continue working with Sony to make sure the experiences are as close as possible. PSB: Before I let you go, do you have any parting thoughts for PlayStation fans? NY: Very soon, we’re going to be starting a free trial for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 players. You just need to download and install the client, and you can play for 14 days up to level 20. Hopefully, this will bring in a lot of people who haven’t played but have been thinking about playing. It will give them a chance to feel the game and experience Final Fantasy XIV and the world of Eorzea. And if you like it, we have this great content in Heavensward coming right up! Stick with the game, and stick with us for adventures in Eorzea and Heavensward. View the full article

    Forget the pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween is all about scaring the bejesus out of yourself and those around you. So what better way to celebrate than turning the lights off, grabbing a headset or turning up your surround system (essential for the full immersive experience) and starting up P.T. – it’s free to download on PS Store! Sure, you can watch the countless videos populating the internet of horrified gamers, but there’s nothing more satisfying than completing the game yourself and obtaining that ‘I Played P.T. to the End and Survived‘ kudos. It’s an experience you won’t forget. If you’re too terrified to try P.T. out, or have dipped your toe into the game but need a bit of guidance, let me hold your hand and give you a few hints and tips! Firstly, you’ll notice that P.T. plays in a loop: you’ll visit the same corridor, but each time something will be different. You should take the time to inspect and interact with everything: pictures on the walls, items on the floor. Listen closely and pay attention, the devil is in the details after all. Did a door just open? And don’t forget to look up… Each time you discover something you will be allowed to proceed to the ‘next level’. If you run around and around that dreaded corridor, afraid to take a closer look at the clues, you’ll never get anywhere. So take a deep breath and become familiar — extremely familiar — with your surroundings. Some of the methods to ‘unlock’ the secrets of P.T. can be a little tricky; many people have completed the game simply through trial and error or by working together. The clues are there, so to help you on your way I can exclusively reveal a transcript of the audio clues — some of which are reverse speech or in a foreign language. TranscriptI walked till I stood one pace before Jack Heart pounding I whispered his name But the night wind stole his voice away In the moment our hands overlap We share in an instant of private darkness His touch, cold as marble Cold, and shivering all over Never moving a step, his hand in mine, I waited for it to pass. And through the mists of waning consciousness I thought I heard a phone ring. You’ve been chosen. So there you have it, a little bit of guidance to get you through the game in one piece (and hopefully, with your sanity!). WARNING: P.T. is seriously creepy, but the only thing that’s stopping you from finishing this game is your own fear and imagination, conquer this and you’ll be fine. After all, it’s only a game… Sleep tight! View the full article

    It’s been a while since our last post on PlayStation.Blog, but we’re back with exciting news: the PS4 release of Ironclad Tactics has been confirmed for early 2015! In case this is the first time you’re hearing about it, Ironclad Tactics is a fast-paced, card-based tactics game set in the American Civil War… with robots! Although it’s reminiscent of the tactics games and collectible card games that we’re all familiar with, we’ve done a lot to make it fast-paced, streamlined, and completely free from microtransactions. It’s also completely co-op enabled, allowing you to easily switch between playing solo or with a friend over the internet. The exciting news doesn’t stop there, though. When Ironclad Tactics releases on PS4 in early 2015, it will include all of the add-on campaigns available for the game. You’d normally have to pay for those! Explore the untold backstory of Dmitry in Ironclad Tactics’ first add-on campaign, Ironclad Tactics: The Rise of Dmitry. With eight new missions, including the six-stage “Fort Phantom Ridge†gauntlet mission, you’ll unlock up to eighteen new cards, including Dmitry’s fearsome army of transforming ironclads! The steam-powered automatons of the American Civil War make their way to Europe in Ironclad Tactics: Blood and Ironclads. With eight new missions, two new full-sized armies, and a challenging WAR! mode, you’ll unlock up to twenty four new cards from the French and German Empires! We’re super excited to be bringing one of our best games to the PS4, and hope you’re looking forward to it too. View the full article

    Hello there, everyone. Sam Mullen here, North American Localization Producer for the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series, and I’m here to talk to you today about some of the things we have coming up for the international launch of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd on PS3 and PS Vita. We released the first Project DIVA F title last year, and now we’re back with the release of its sequel, coming to stores on November 18th in packaged and digital formats in North America and Latin America, and on November 21st in Europe and the rest of the world. We released the first title last year to a strong fan response — we can’t thank you enough for being so supportive of this franchise here in the West. For those of you who don’t know Hatsune Miku yet, she is the world’s most popular virtual singer and our Project DIVA rhythm game series lets you play along with her most iconic music on your PS3 and PS Vita. The game also offers a variety of game modes and customization options, because with Hatsune Miku it’s all about creativity, user-created content and great music. If any of you out there are keeping tabs on Japan, you may be aware that they are having regular releases of post-launch downloadable content for the Japanese version of the game. I am happy to announce that we are going to be offering the same downloadable content to our Western fans. Yes, all the content that Japan has been getting, such as new costume modules like Rin and Len’s Alparkas and new rhythm game songs like Look This Way, Baby?, Aikotoba, and Sekiranum Graffiti – you’re all going to get that, too! We will be releasing content every two weeks or so for nearly six months straight! There will be three types of downloadable content after launch for Project DIVA F 2nd: UI Skins: $0.99, but free for the first 39 days after release Costume Modules: $1.99 each Rhythm Game Songs: $2.99 each Now I know there are a lot of Project DIVA mega-fans out there. I’ve met many of you on our tours around the US this year. So we’ve put together some special sales initiatives for those of you who just want it all. And there’s not even a line to stand in! Song Club ($29.99) Will give you access to the entire lineup of post-launch Rhythm Game Songs. Costume Club ($69.99) Will give you access to our full roster of post-launch Costume Modules. You’ll save more than 25% compared to individual purchases! It all starts rolling out on PlayStation Store December 9th, 2014, with the first Costume Modules. This is the biggest DLC rollout SEGA has ever released; the amount of content here is staggering. All the downloadable content is cross-buy enabled, so grabbing it on one platform gives you access to the same content on the other. So the choice is yours: Join the club and go all-in, or hand pick your favorite individual content. View the full article
