Next-Gen consoles are coming in about a year's time!


It's almost Official - New xBox and Playstation are soon on the store 
shells! 


   

There's sooo many xBox 720 and ps4 rumors going around the internet these days even if

Microsoft and Sony have not officially announce their next-gen consoles, third-party publishers are already working out their launch gameplans. I read an interesting interview today and i tough i gotta share it with you. Speaking to Bloomberg this week, EA Games Label president Frank Gibeau said that when new hardware arrives “in about a year’s time,” his company won’t be making the same technological mistakes seen this generation. Oh and by the way  text marked in green is from GamesRadar.
“It’s a big investment for us this year,” he said. “What you first have to do is start with the technology, the hardware, what’s coming out, and what it does really, really well, and understand what’s going to drive innovation there.” 
Addressing EA’s weak start on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Gibeau said that EA “made a couple of mistakes in how we built our technology,” explicitly noting such defining current-gen features as high-definition graphics and online platforms. He went on to note that for the upcoming generation, EA’s technology approach can be seen in the the Frostbite development engine, which powers such games as Battlefield 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted
EA is currently prepping three to five new intellectual properties for release on the new hardware within 24 months of their launch. Additional information on these titles was not provided. 
I was happy seeing these news, i am really really excited about next-gen consoles. Are you?

    PS Vita details - Sony explains why so few PSone titles are available in America

    The Vita's biggest problem

    What's Vita's biggest problem? Why is it selling so weak? Well, dear readers,to date, it's been
    a struggle to turn Vita into a success for Sony. Sales have been weaker than expected for a variety
    of reasons. First of all you have to buy Vita for 250$, and than you have to buy a game which is 40$+, and we also need a memory card and so on. But why buy that when mobile gaming is stronger than ever? You can afford a great game on Android for a few bucks. I think Sony's big problem is that it seems like Sony has taken forever to do the things it was supposed to do in the first place. I don't understand why it took so long to launch a YouTube app, for example.


    I will admit Vita is so attractive but too expensive:

    Do you have a PS Vita? Are you satisfied with it?

    I can't wait for new PS Vita games, they seem they will be so good. Will you buy them?

    Why so few PSone titles are available in the US?

    I read that Sony explained why so few titles are available? Well that was necessary, cause it sure did
    me and the other fans angry.
    Sony said:
    "Each territory is completely unique and must go through its own individual processes for approvals in order to be available for purchase directly on PS Vita through PlayStation Store. We work collaboratively with all parties involved, including third party publishers, to ensure that we are following the proper protocol. As of right now, there are nine PS one classics titles available on the PS Vita store, however we are working hard to expand this list as soon as possible."

    Well i'm glad to hear that, and boy i'm glad i'm not living in America.

    So i turned on my PS Vita and there are 129 games available here in Croatia.




    I really had a great, great time with my Vita, it really should sell better.

    How to Play PS1 games on PS Vita

    PS Vita's new Firmware 1.8 News! Play PS one games on your PS Vita!

    Hello everyone. Great news! If you haven't already heard, you can now play PS1 games on your PS Vita! Awesome right? All you need to do is download the games from PlayStation store! It's that Easy! If you still love your PSOne classics, this is the absolute best way to play them! But bad news
    for North Americans, they can only play nine psx games. :(
    I've red somewhere that Europeans will have hundreds of them. That doesn't make any sense!
    However you can always get more games with transfer ( which is not 100% legal ) but it's not like
    cops will come to your house for doing it, right? :)

    So i tried it on my PS Vita, and this is how it looks.


    Aspect ratio is changeable. In the picture above it shows 1:1 which is the sharpest of all but it's bordered with black.


    You can fill Vertically or horizontally which looks great but you lose some of the top and bottom of the screen.




    If you don't mind things looking a little squashed you can fill the entire screen.

    I gotta admit that the games look great, better than on the ps3. So Sony did a great job on this.
    Till next time! - Puscifer
