Sly Cooper 4 release date

Sly Cooper 4 is about as painful of a wait as it is for the Last Guardian (well, kind of), but now Sony was wise enough to give us a release date.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is now going to be released on February 5th 2013, good gosh! Now we got Bioshock Infinite, Metal Gear Rising: Revengance, Dead Space 3, Aliens: Colonial Marines, and now Sly Cooper! Our wallets will surely cry.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will come out for PS3 and Vita, and will include Cross promotion for those who buy the PS3 version (which comes with free download for the Vita version).

Behold the glory of Killzone: Mercenary!

The Playstation Vita is indeed a powerful device, but none of the recent games have shown its true potential yet. But the highly anticipated Killzone Vita might be the first to do just that.

The new game has just gotten it's official title at Gamescom, Killzone: Mercenary, and already the graphics look to be on par with the second and third installments on the PS3. And fans know that the Killzone 2 and 3 graphics were among the best ever seen thus far.

Like most spin-offs, Killzone: Mercenary will be quite a bit different from the core Killzone franchise, as this time around you’ll be playing as – surprise! – a mercenary working with both the Helghast and the ISA. This marks the first time in Killzone history that you’ll be working alongside the Helghast. It uses the behind touchscreen rather nicely for close encounter kills. As can be seen by this GIF picture below:




What's the best part? This handheld spin-off was not handed down to another developer! That's right, Guerrilla Games is indeed making this! So no worries for a sub-par game. They are also using their Killzone engine too, which is why the graphics look so neat. This might just turn out to be the high-profile, console-quality game the PS Vita needs. This alone certainly makes up for the poor looking Call of Duty Vita game, and will certainly be much better than Killzone: Liberation (another handheld spin-off that came out for the PSP).

They said the game will come out next year, more info will arrive soon...

E3 2012 reveals- PART 5

EVERYTHING SONY:

We will recap all the major announcements from each of the three leading gaming companies. To start off, we'll take a look at all the major Sony announcements from their conference:

PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS: BATTLE ROYALE FOR THE VITA ALSO!
The game will also have a Vita version, as well as cross-platform play. In addition to that, Sony unveiled two new Characters for the game. One is Uncharted's very own Nathan Drake, the other is Shockingly unexpected, Bioshock's own Infamous Big Daddy! Still no word on characters from Resistance, Infamous, Jak and Daxter, LittleBigPlanet, or even the Crash Bandicoot games, but they are a certain.

PLAYSTATION MOVE RACING WHEEL ANNOUNCED
Sony doesn't really show off their move stuff in commercials or ads, but that doesn't mean they don't care about it. Yesterday Sony announced a new racing wheel attachment for the move controller, which is nice since this year many racing games were revealed. Sony already revealed that it will work for new and existing games such as LittleBigPlanet Karting and Grand Turismo 5, and the wheel is set to release this year in Fall for a price of 40 bucks... seems fair right?

ASSASSIN'S CREED III / PS3 BUNDLE TO RELEASE OCTOBER 31ST!
Assassin's Creed III will obviously be a major release, so Sony was smart to announce a special PS3 bundle that includes not only the AC3 game but also a special DLC. The bundle will come out October 31st, same day as the actual games release.

MORE VITA NEWS AND GOODIES
Vita had a bad start, but it's future seems very bright. Sony announced that LittleBigPlanet Vita will also have cross-platform play using a very unique DLC, they also announced two very popular PSOne classics being rereleased: the original Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy VII. They also announced other Vita games coming out such as Call of Duty: Declassified and a unique Assassin's Creed III: Liberation game that stars a Female Assassin!

HTC TO RELEASE PLAYSTATION PHONES
Sony announced new Playstation-certified smartphones that will use a new function called Playstation mobile, which allows connection between Android or other devices... Cool, right?

AUGMENT REALITY FOR PS3'S WONDERBOOK
The Wonderbook is a flat platform that when used in conjunction with your PS3 and its PS3 Eye camera, uses augmented reality to expand what would normally be a book to include graphics and other visuals on your TV. Sony has done a similar thing with its EyePet series, also by Sony's London Studios.
Wonderbook has brought on Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling to create Book of Spells for the Wonderbook. Not the best thing shown at Sony's E3 conference, reports even mention problems accociated with it, but this will still make for a great interactive game for family and children in general...

Sly Cooper 4 will also be playable on the Vita

Sly Cooper's major return for the PS3 is close, hopefully closer, but now it's not just gonna be a console release.

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time will also have a Vita release out on the same day as the PS3 versions. While some controls change a bit (for example: the Vita doesn't have R2 or L2 buttons) the game will pretty much be the same. The best part is that the game can cross platform, which means you can play it on your PS3 then convert it to your Vita when you have to go somewhere so you can still play where you left off. How cool is that!?

Sly Cooper 4 has no real release date yet, but it will now be released for the PS3 and the Vita...
