Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes “Deja Vu” Trailer November 15, 2013
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Anyone who expected that Konami may bring some Playstation-exclusive content to the latest entry in the Metal Gear Solid series was absolutely right. Metal Gear Solid has had a long-standing tradition of being either out first or out exclusively to the Playstation platforms since the days of the very first game, and even though Metal Gear Solid V will be a multiplatform game, Hideo Kojima himself announced last night at the PS4 launch that Metal Gear Solid V will have a Playstation exclusive mission called “Deja Vu”.
Some of you who watched the PS4 launch event on TV last night may have already seen that video, but I doubt you have seen the one below yet.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will be coming Spring 2014 to the PS3, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360.
inFAMOUS Second Son Release Date November 15, 2013

Last night at the PS4 launch saw a huge reveal from Sony owned development studio Sucker Punch Productions. Their latest game, inFAMOUS Second Son, is the highest on my list of PS4 exclusive priorities. Having been a huge fan of the inFAMOUS games up to this point, I can’t say how excited I am to see just what the power of the PS4 can bring to this open world urban super hero sandbox game. But more than just wow players with all the newest powers the game’s hero will have, the trailer’s ending did reveal the game’s release date.
inFAMOUS Second Son is coming March 21st, 2014 exclusive to the Playstation 4. There will be exclusive downloadable content for anyone who preorders the game at a participating retailer.
UNCHARTED PS4 Announced November 15, 2013

During the PS4 launch last night, Naughty Dog revealed their first PS4 exclusive title, and it could not have been more welcome. It looks like their PS3 staple franchise will be making the leap to the next generation console. Take a look at the reveal trailer.
Naughty Dog sadly would not confirm anything about the new game, including if series protagonist Nathan Drake would be returning or if the game would be a remake instead of a sequel. However, they did say there were a lot of tidbits about the game in the new trailer, so be sure to put it up to as much scrutiny as you can. If you ask me the most interesting bit about the trailer is that it is not being narrated by the voice of Nathan Drake, but for all we know the new game’s villain could be the person who is speaking.
UNCHARTED is coming exclusive to the Playstation 4.

While last night was clearly the PS4’s night to shine, Naughty Dog did kick the night off with a reveal of the first story based DLC expansion for their hit game The Last of Us. Without trying to spoil too much for those of you who haven’t played the game, it looks like this downloadable content will be a prequel to the game’s story and Naughty Dog has confirmed you will play as Ellie. Take a look for yourselves.
The Last of Us: Left Behind will be released Spring 2014. A full version of The Last of Us will be required to play. The Last of Us is out now exclusive to the PS3.

Top Ten Things To Do Before the Playstation 4 Launch November 14, 2013
Posted by Maniac in Editorials.1 comment so far
At midnight tonight, the fourth generation Playstation will be released. This is going to be an incredible occasion marked with celebration across the country. I’ve already got a preparation video to help anyone interested in picking up a launch console, but like with anything there are always last-minute things you can do before picking up your console to make the setup a faster process. Because, like you know, you’re just going to want to get to the games.
So here are a few things you can do before midnight tonight to help you get your PS4 ready for gaming just a little bit sooner. These are not listed in order of priority, so don’t worry about one step being more or less important than the other.
So, read on PS4 player. Your next-gen games await.
- If you don’t have a Sony Playstation Network account, sign up for one. They’re free. However, if you have a PS Vita, PSP or PS3, you likely already have one.
- Sync your Trophies so you have all your PS3 stats on your PSN account. You may not be playing PS3 for a while. Just turn on your PS3, log into your PSN account, hit the triangle button when highlighting the trophies option, and select “Sync With Server.”
- Preorder any games you plan to purchase online on your PS3. You can do this from the Playstation Network Store. Almost all Day One PS4 games, including some multiplatform titles are available for preorder. Granted, these preorders are for the digital versions of games, not retail ones. You’ll need to preorder retail games at your local game store.
- Free up one HDMI slot on your HDTV or HD receiver. PS4 requires HDMI connection and has no analog connection for video or audio output. However, it does have a digital optical audio output for legacy surround sound systems.
- If there are any PS3 games you currently own that you would like to upgrade to a PS4 version, hold onto them. Sony is offering digital version of PS4 games at HEAVY discount to players who currently own the PS3 version of the game. Check the Playstation Network store for which games are currently being offered at this discount.
- Buy an extra Dual Shock 4 controller or Playstation Camera at retail right now. They’re actually out and you can pick them up early. Heck, there are even some PS4 games that you can get at retail right now like Call of Duty: Ghosts. Price is around $59 US each.
- If you have a Playstation Vita, update your Vita’s firmware to the most recent version. The updated firmware is required for PS4 to Vita game streaming.
- Download the Playstation App to your Android or iOS Device. It’s free, and you can log into your PSN account and manage your trophies without a PS4. Just search for “Playstation App” on your device’s respective online store. It is required to make use of the PS4’s Second Screen capabilities.
- Sign up for Playstation Plus. It is now required to play PS4 games online. You can do that in the Playstation Store or just buy a prepaid card at retail. Price is $49 US per year.
- Download the PS4 1.5 Firmware (Day One Patch) to a USB storage device. While Sony will make the update available online as well, there may be a mad dash to update it immediately, and downloading it in advance and installing through USB may be a faster option. You can download the update, and read the instructions on how to install it here.
Playstation App Released November 13, 2013

Just in time for the release of the Playstation 4, Sony has released the official Playstation Network App for iPhone and Android devices for free. The Playstation App allows you to manage your Playstation Network account, check your Trophy Progress, and make use of the Playstation 4’s Second Screen capabilities!
I have to say I’m really happy about this release. The last I heard was this program was supposed to launch on or around November 22nd, which is a week after the PS4 launch, so I wasn’t expecting it for a few days. Looks like Sony stepped up the app’s release.
Don’t worry you won’t need a Playstation 4 to make this app work, the app will work fine with any Playstation Network account. It is compatible with any Android or iOS device, and you can download it by searching for “Playstation App” in your respective software download store. If you wish to make use of the PS4’s Second Screen capabilities, you will need to download the PS4’s Day One firmware patch. There has been no word if the app will be coming to Windows Phone.

Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
The guys over at Microsoft made a fun little social game over at YouTube to promote the release of Dead Rising 3. Here, I’ll let the trailer speak for itself.
You can click here and check out the game for yourself. The game’s objective is to clear as many of the areas as possible, by making one of two possible decisions on strategy. While the game is pretty simple in its gameplay, seeing the decisions you make in the game bring up some pretty awesome Dead Rising 3 gameplay clips I haven’t seen elsewhere. If you really had to see for yourself just what was possible in the game, play Find Your Path to the After Party and find out.
Dead Rising 3 is coming November 22nd, 2013 exclusive to the Xbox One.
