Since there is a News thread for Nintendo now, let's have one for everything Sony related as wellI will update this thread 2-3 times a week at least with news like new PSN releases etc.New releases 22.04 - 30.04PlayStation Network- Dead Island Riptide (PS3)- Thomas Was Alone (PS3/PS Vita Cross-Buy)- Star Trek: The Game (PS3)- Draw Slasher (PS Vita)- God Mode (PS3)- Soul Calibur V (PS3)- Black Rock Shooter: The Game (PSP)- Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII (PS3)- Guilty Gear XX Accent Core: Plus R (PS Vita)PS2 Klassiker- Fire Pro Wrestling ReturnsThe Jak and Daxter Trilogy as well as the Sly Cooper HD Collection get PsVita ports
apparently Vita is getting tons of Indie games. Terraria has been confirmed and in the distant future MineCraft might just happen for Vita and PS3. since Notch(creator of MineCraft) stepped down as director and Jeb took over he said once the Microsoft exclusivity deal expires they will consider the Vita and/or PS3 as the next home for MineCraft. I myself believe it will happen because there's lots of money to be made there. If Terraria is coming which it is in Q2 of this year MineCraft is a must even if it is somewhere between the Pocket Edition and the PC Version. as far as other releases goSoul Sacrifice will be out on the 30th(fun as hell actually)I hope I'm not disturbing the flow of things on this topic since what I'm saying does pertain to the topic.

Sony promises the PS4 will have the strongest launch lineup in Playstation history.http://www.gamespot.com/news/sony-ps4-will-have-strongest-launch-lineup-in-playstation-history-6407468?tag=Topslot;NextGenNewsRoundup;SonyPs4WillHaveStronConsidering that they've never had a strong launch at all (PS3 being the best of them though with a couple of key exclusives.) I hope they actually raise the bar for launch titles, just to teach Nintendo a lesson.

For me, their europe launch of the original playstation was pretty solid with games like ridge racer, wipeOut, toshinden, rayman and the raiden project.Since arcades were allowed for age 18+ people in Germany it was the first time i played a arcade shooter with graphics like that :-) The ps2 launch had tekken tag tournament 2..that was everything needed at the time.
It was decent, but hardly a "strong" launch lineup. There was a few gems but nothing that really made it a MUST BUY gameplay-wise. My dad first bought it for me as a DVD player, and it stayed that way for awhile.
