Metal Gear Solid HD Collection shrunk down on Vita this summer

Nice announcement, just wish I could download the Peace Walker to my Vita without having to go through a PS3

Peter Molyneux leaves Microsoft, off on 'new independent venture'

Mar 7th 2012 3:59PM (Joystiq)
I've been a fan of his work since he founded Bullfrog. I was hoping Black & White would be revisited but since Microsoft aquired Lionhead... I'm afraid thats one title that will never again see the light of day. I wish Peter good luck in his next venture, but I hope he doesn't sell this one!

Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition jumps to Android next week

Ahh, an old favorite. Glad to hear this is coming to the android. Playing this on the Xperia Play would be a welcome change. Here's to hoping they release its cousin Flashback as well!

Sony Japan: PSP Go shipments have ended

Apr 21st 2011 2:08AM (Joystiq)
I'm sorry to see it go and I never regretted buying mine. Having been there to get the psp 1000 at launch, and having every model in the line up to the Go, it was hands down perfect for my style of entertainment. I liked its design and it had everything I look for in a portable entertainments system. I couldn't stand the UMD as it reminded me of another failure that appeared not too long ago, the Minidisc (been there). Everyone bitches about the UMD, "the Go doesn't play it!" thank god for that! Why have a game on a UMD when I could fit 10 times as many games on a little memory card that took up 99% less space? With the memory card I didn't need to worry about touching the bare surface of the disc and I have yet to have a memory card split in two as many of my UMD did while trying to remove from its case (and the internal memory kicks ass too). I have over 100 musical artists on my go, pictures, over 45 games and I carry a movie library of over 250 movies all on just a few memory cards the size of my smallest fingernail. Having grown up with rotary telephones, 8 tracks, tvs that actually had to sit for a few minutes to warm up before you got a clear picture, computers that didn't have hard drives or color screens, not to mention that video games where from the likes of Intellivision and Commodor 64, Atari, etc. I am still amazed with what the PspGo is capable of and having to switch the little memory cards (which I just view as mini game cartridges) is no hassle to me. Beats the hell out of the days of the NES or even the NeoGeo when carts where just too damned big and I had to have a enormous box called a "television set" just to play them on. Technology has come a long way in a short time and for me, the Go will remain a favorite.

Following Fable 3 disappointment, Molyneux bounces back with BAFTA award

Mar 19th 2011 12:19AM (Joystiq)
I've followed Peter Molyneux since the days of Populous and loved both Black & White and the Fable series. He has always tried to create the perfect game and tries to please everyone who plays his games. The guy just listens too much to the fans but it can be said he's always willing to try something new. Congrats Peter on the award! You've earned it!

Sony NGP roundup: Specs, games and more

@Dizazter

"They mentioned this type of feature is "being worked on","

Yeah, that's what intrugued me... how they would implement it. Who wants to pay full price for two games but share a save file? Thats a lot to invest, but I would pay a "little" more if I got two copies.

No matter, interesting concept that I hope they follow through with it.

Sony NGP roundup: Specs, games and more

Jan 28th 2011 12:39PM (Joystiq)
hmm, Interesting bit with MGS4 playing on the NGP... I wonder if they would do something like Digital Copy with the ps3 games, buy one game, get the hd blu-ray ps3 version and the slightly dubbed down (graphic wise) digital copy for the NGP. One way to ensure compatible saves, trophies on the game. I'd spend $80 per game if it could do this.
