Hasta La Gadget!

Between the PlayStation 4’s November 15th launch at retail and December 31st, Sony claims 33 games will be available. That includes heavy hitters like Knack, Watch Dogs, Minecraft and Battlefield 4, as well as smaller properties like N++ and Contrast. We’ve dropped the full list just after the break for your perusal / approval. Now all we need to know is when Rime is coming out!

As much as we’d like to talk about Sony’s increasing hospitality toward independent developers, we’re a little too anxious. You see, the company has just added an indie games channel to its handheld console, with Hotline Miami as the flagship title. Users will also be able to grab 53 other titles, like Thomas Was Alone, Sound Shapes and Limbo, but we’re too busy with Hotline Miami to pay attention right now. Sony is also promising that we’ll see Spelunky, Terraria and Hohokum in the next few months, which’ll keep you entertained when you’ve finished, you know, Hotline Miami. If you’d like to catch a trailer showcasing all the new games, head on past the break.

PlayStation Plus offers do come around every now and then, but Sony has just announced a more permanent addition to the service: the option of a $10 (or 7 euro) monthly membership to supplement the regular 90-day and annual subscriptions. The lack of commitment comes at quite a price, given that the longer contracts bring the the effective monthly cost down to $6 and $4 respectively, but it may still make sense for flighty types. Anyway, once you’re in, you’ll find a secondary, time-limited offer: an annual Music Unlimited Premium subscription for $42 (42 euros), which is okay, but nowhere near the discount offered in 2012. Those who remain outside of Sony’s inner circle can also temporarily get 12 months of Music Unlimited for $60, or half of the usual cost. Lastly, a few more E3 crumbs: the PlayStation Network is now officially called “PSN”, which is pretty much what we called it anyway, and PlayStation Plus also gets a new logo (shown after the break, not that it’s especially shocking.), reflecting reflect its heightened status in the PS4 era

Hmmm, avid gamers who are well versed with game releases on the PlayStation Network (PSN) would be able to tell you that Star Wars Pinball has already launched there, and to hear that it is launching again might not make too much sense. Well, the thing is, Star Wars Pinball is launching again over on PSN, albeit as a standalone title this time around. Originally, the first Star Wars Pinball pack was rolled out in February earlier this year for Zen Pinball 2 on the PS3 and PS Vita platforms, and that pack came with Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett and Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

This time around, it would arrive with additional features, where a special standalone version of the game is said to arrive with some really fun community features, in addition to being fully branded Star Wars. Those who have already purchased the tables in Zen Pinball 2 are entitled to download Star Wars Pinball without any extra charge, which is a good deal, no? This would allow you to unlock the tables in Zen Pinball 2 and in Star Wars Pinball in one fell swoop of a purchase, and it is good to know that both games are Cross Buy entitled with Vita.

Ubisoft isn’t a stranger to bringing classic video games series to the modern as they have taken franchises like Prince of Persia to new heights, even remaking the classic game for a number of platforms. It looks like they’re aiming their sights at another classic game to receive a remake, Delphine Software’s Flashback.

Ubisoft’s remake of Flashback is currently in development by VectroCell to be released on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network and will be powered by Epic’s Unreal Engine. VectroCell, if you recall, was the development studio behind horror game Amy. The game will be an HD remastering of the original game which will be completely in 3D.

Flashback’s story will largely remain unchanged as you’ll play Conrad B. Hart as he fights to save humanity from an invasion of alien Morphs whose goal is to enslave mankind. Not only will Conrad be tasked with saving the world once again, but his girlfriend as well, who we hope is making Steak-ums tonight.
