We started Luftrausers halfway through 2011, when Jan Willem at Vlambeer was staring out of a window on a late flight from San Francisco to Amsterdam after the annual Game Developers Conference. He decided he wanted to expand on a little prototype we made back in 2010. More...

In inFAMOUS Second Son, your gameplay style and moral choices influence your superhuman powers in profound ways. If you're a goodie two-shoes when using your Neon powers, you'll be able to briefly slow time while zooming in for precise shots -- crucial for pegging foes in their legs and immobilizing them.

Hey everyone, I’m Kirby St. John, a designer with the MLB The Show development team. My main focus year-to-year is improving and evolving one of our most popular modes, Road to The Show. The mode made some big strides last year, especially in terms of gameplay and presentation, but for MLB 14, we really wanted to focus on the logic and systems that govern the mode in an effort to allow for more variety and less restrictions. We also wanted to provide some new experiences never seen before in RTTS. The video touched on a lot of topics, but in this blog I will expand on what was introduced there and discuss some of the exciting things that were only briefly mentioned. More...

This title is also Cross-Buy, so Plus members will receive this for both PS3 and PS Vita. More...

Home was a welcome surprise to horror game lovers when it launched on PC in 2012, and it delighted a whole new audience on mobile in 2013. Its simple controls and heavy reliance on rich sound and atmosphere, though, make it a great choice for a console system -- so I'm happy to announce that Home is making the jump to <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps4/" target="_new">PS4</a> and <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps-vita/" target="_new">PS Vita</a> this year!

Okay, I "get" <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/03/11/dark-souls-ii-out-today-on-ps3/" target="_blank">Dark Souls</a> now. 20 hours in, and I can't stop. I think I have a problem.

In <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/road-not-taken/" target="_new">previous blog posts</a>, we've talked about the procedural system we use to create the enchanted forests that serve as your proving ground in Road Not Taken. This system is what makes Road Not Taken a fun game to play repeatedly, and -- as with any good roguelike -- you'll need to play Road Not Taken many times before you've stumbled upon every interesting object and creature lurking in the forest. More...

As we did <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com/site/post/naughty_dog_at_gdc_2012/" target="_blank">in 2012</a>, we’ll have a large pack of Dogs giving talks at <a href="http://www.gdconf.com/" target="_blank">GDC 2014</a>.

It’s been nearly six years since Hideo Kojima and his team at <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/konami/" target="_blank">Konami</a> delivered the <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/" target="_blank">PS3</a> epic <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-ps3.html" target="_blank">Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots</a>.

In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Light_Drifter" target="_blank">Hyper Light Drifter</a> you’ll travel a ruined land with a twisted past, delving deep to collect lost technologies and unveil secrets long buried. I’d like to share a few of the key components under development that make Hyper Light what it is: 1) combat that’s lightning quick, brutal and never unfair; 2) a strong narrative and character interactions expressed through visual design; 3) a rich and varied world to explore with an intense atmosphere.

There's just something about going fast. The desire for speed seems to be ingrained in our very nature. Race the Sun is our attempt to distill that desire into its basic form -- to strip away all pretense and let players experience pure, brutal speed. Building a game with this goal in mind took a lot of trial, error, and some new ideas. More...
