FFX/X-2 HD Remaster Gamescom 2013 trailer

Square has just posted the latest trailer for the HD remaster of Final Fantasy X/X-2. For a game that's nearly 13 years old it has certainly held up well graphically.
I'm totally looking forward to going retro when this game comes out later this year!
This is one of PS2's best games and is well worth a return trip!

Sony press conference @ Gamescom 2013

Gamescom 2013 began today in Cologne Germany and  ends August 25th.
I just got done watching Sony's Press Conference and again I gotta say Sony's doin' it right.
They've been consistent with their message since February's PS4 reveal and I feel they've got nothing but positive momentum on their side at this point.
So here are some of the key points I've taken from their Gamescom conference...

• PS Vita price drop to $199.99
• PSVita memory cards price reduction
• The Playroom pre-intalled on all PS4's (looks gimmicky to sell PS4 eye)
• Plenty of Indie Dev love <3
• Netflix, Hulu  etc. will not require PS+ subscription
• Good demo of X-play using Assassins Creed Black Flag
• Exclusive Watchdogs PS4 content. 4 additional missions/ Dedsec white hacker coat/ Hacking boost
• 12 GB PS3 price drop to $199.99 ( you may say 12GB is nothing but you can get a WD Scorpio Blue HDD for $75, so $275 for a 500BG PS3 ain't bad!)
• Andrew House dissing M$ and their flip flopping policies with the XBOne\
• Launch date US 11/15 EU 11/29 available in 32 countries at launch!

And there were some new game trailers to see also...

Everyone's Gone to Rapture

RIME


Shadow of the Beast


inFAMOUS Second Son


Gran Turismo 6


War Thunder


Interestingly there was nothing mentioned about Gaikai, Online Multiplayer and PS+ subscription service at all....but we're getting a Watchdogs movie! I thought I saw that back in 2007....I think it was called Live Free or Die Hard.

Gamescom 2011: PSP Vita Trailer

PSVita had a strong showing at this years Gamescom,
Below is the trailer for PS Vita, it emphasizes the hardware which, in my opinion, decimates the 3DS.
The dual analog sticks is huge and one of the biggest design flaws of the PSP, the 5 inch touch screen is fantastic and with today's smart phones and tablets this keeps the Vita on the level with that growing market, the rear touch pad is a unique addition which adds another level of control to future games....makes me wonder if this will be incorporated into future Dual Shock controllers, Six Axis motion sensors and Cross Play! PS3 <---->PSVita...if Cross Play works well I think Sony will finally overthrow Nintendo in the hand held market.

Soul Calibur V Gamescom 2011 Trailer

 The Fighting Game genre is really heating up and I'm glad to see that Namco isn't putting their flagship fighter on the back burner while they work on TXSF...I can't wait to see their version of Chun LI!!!
I enjoyed Soul Blade, SCII and SCIII, I skipped IV even though I was curious about Tira. Soul Calibur V looks great but that's like saying Eva Mendez looks great...of course she does!
