I'm talking about average in the mathematical sense. So a cross-section of all types of games on average, demos harm sales. So for devs, it makes little sense to make them.

What game hasn't had a trailer?

PS1/PS2 games heading to PlayStation 4

Backwards compatibility is coming to PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Now is only part of the story. A well-placed source working with Sony's streaming service reveals that only PlayStation 3 titles are currently scheduled to use the "gameplay over IP" cloud service. PS1 and PS2 titles are set to follow the more conventional route of running locally under emulation on Sony's latest console - but with the possibility of HD visual enhancements.

While Sony effectively phased out hardware emulation of previous platforms during the early stages of the PS3 era, it has worked consistently on opening up the PlayStation back catalogue to publishers via software emulation and PSN downloads. Internally, PlayStation 3's firmware contains emulators for PS1, PS2 and even the handheld PSP, while Vita is capable of running PS1 and Vita titles virtually flawlessly using the same technology. In short, there's a proven codebase that can only get better for the vastly more powerful PS4.

Our information suggests that the same internal emulator strategy is planned for PlayStation 4, and we understand that Sony is actively pursuing the ability for older titles to run without the blurry upscaling seen on PS3, suggesting that native HD resolutions are being targeted. Assuming this intention carries through to final code, we'll be seeing an effect similar to the resolution scaling seen on unofficial PC emulation of Sony's consoles, as well as a great many of the "HD remasters" we saw on PS3 - where original assets were rendered at a higher resolution, often without any actual remastering at all.

Sony's use of emulation as opposed to PlayStation Now streaming is an interesting decision - and the right one for enthusiast gamers. Running code locally provides a superior experience in terms of both input latency and image quality, and owing to the bandwidth requirements of continuous gameplay streaming, a single download could actually work out better economically for the platform holder. However, anything that can be run on PS3 can also operate on the PlayStation Now servers, so theoretically there is no technical reason why PS1, PS2 and PSP titles running on the existing, upscaling PS3 emulators couldn't be added to the streaming service should Sony see fit - though HD resolution scaling would most likely be off the table in those circumstances.

while Vita is capable of running PS1 and Vita titles virtually flawlessly

Talk about damning with faint praise...

I think they meant to put PSP instead of Vita the second time there.

So do I. But 'meant to put' is weak when we're talking an allegedly professional operation.

Yay! I've always wanted to buy all my PSone games again.

I'm sure you're right but there's an opportunity to make some money which I'm sure Sony won't pass up on.

WoW with Mudcrabs is £50 on Xbox One, requires a £9 subscription, Xbox Live Gold at £5 a month, and has microtransactions.

We’re also pleased to tell you about a new headset that is coming soon for PS4. The Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 will be available from 10th February 2014 (market dependant) at £79.99/€89.99 SRP.

This new wireless headset for PS4 features stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound, as well as a crystal clear, noise-cancelling internal microphone for chatting to friends on Party, when playing online multiplayer.

The headset can be used at home using the USB wireless adaptor with your PS4, PS3, PC or Mac for up to 8 hours thanks to its rechargeable battery. You can also use the headset on the go with your PS Vita or with other mobile devices using the included 3.5mm stereo mini jack. With its foldable design the headset is ideal for travel and storage, so when you’re not using it, simply fold your headset up.

Headset Companion App
What’s more, you’ll be able to access custom sound modes to enhance your gameplay, music and movie experience on PS4 and PS3 through the Headset Companion App, available soon from PlayStation Store at no extra cost (also available through an update patch to the PULSE Manager app on PS3).

Make sure you look out for future releases of sound modes that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favourite PS4 games. The first sound mode that will be coming soon to the app is being developed by Sucker Punch for their highly anticipated PS4 exclusive, inFAMOUS Second Son.

n addition, the app also offers a variety of preset audio modes for games, music and movies, as well as a tool to create your own custom EQ mode.

The Headset Companion App will be compatible with Wireless Stereo Headset 2.0 and the PULSE Wireless Stereo Headsets on both PS4 and PS3.

PlayStation App Update – Version 1.6
An update released to the PlayStation App for iOS and Android devices last week, added ‘Live from PlayStation‘ support (among other features), allowing you to browse and launch videos of live gameplay on your phone or tablet via USTREAM or Twitch.

I've just turned it off. It's great but I really need to be in the right mood for something that's going to keep making me jump all the time. I normally just want to unwind at this sort of time, by shot gunning someone in the face, not cowering around somewhere armed with fuck all but a video camera.

Killzone 4 a short review:

What is this shit? It's shit. Seriously, utter garbage. Probably not as bad as Killzone 3 but for the PS4's big title it's the worse shit in the world. Did I mention it was shit?

Weirdly I did, and a fair bit too. The multiplayer was ace too.

There's something seriously fucked about this and it's difficult to put my finger on (something worse than the glaringly obvious mediocrity oozing from every pore). I thought, for a moment, it was the amount of bullets a grunt takes or the size of the clips. It's making me itch.

I picked up Killzone 2 when I first got my PS3 and was catching up on the various exclusives but I gave up on it very quickly. I can't remember for sure what bugged me but there was something really fundamental about how the guns worked that just bugged the shit out of me and made it unplayable.

The Resistance games are probably one of my favourite FPS series.

Early PS3 games were mainly terrible. I got the first Resistance game last year because it was set in the UK and that appealed to me, but it was really quite poor. I never finished it.

It must get better after the first one then. It was a throwback to FPS games from the 90s in all the bad ways possible.

Yeah the first was average, the sequels were way better than that. Fun and inventive games that hardly anyone has played.
