Good news for all those long lost fans of Megaman, the Legends spinoff series, or believers that games shouldn’t cost more than rent. Based on a recent ESRB rating, The Misadventures Of Tron Bonne seems to be on its way to PSN!

Serving as a prequel to Megaman Legends 1 and 2, this PS One gem puts players in the shoes of Tron, the brains behind the infamous Bonne family of Sky Pirates, as they loot and pillage towns in their quest for riches. The game was a delight to play, but received a small release, leading copies to soar into the triple digits while making it a cult classic in the process. If this rating actually does lead to a widespread digital release, gamers in the West will finally have the chance to experience it without having to sell their children to do so on their PS3, PSP, and Vita, (for the few who still have it.)

But more importantly, they’ll be able to find out where Tron’s moveset comes from in the Marvel Vs. Capcom sequels! They’ll fall in love with the Servbots, who keep popping up as Dead Rising helmets. Who knows, this might also lead to re-releases of the two Legends games if successful enough, which could snowball into a Legends 3 revival! Unlikely? Sure, but a guy can dream. It’s just great to see such a great group of characters endure over the years, and finally be potentially given a second shot at the spotlight.

Briefly: Following the impressive “Perfect Day” commercial that Sony released last week, the company has debuted another ad, this time promoting the legendary Playstation brand as “for the players since 1995”.

The video takes us through the history of Playstation and the ever-changing world around it. It certainly makes you feel nostalgic for the good ol’ days of split screen gaming, but also makes me really, really long for the release of the PS4 (whether or not I’ll be getting one on launch day is still up in the air).

The ad has been produced with fantastic attention to detail – note that the aspect ratios and quality of video changes as time progresses, among other things. Take a look at the video below, and let us know if you’ll be picking up Sony’s new console!

You know the drill by now. Following Sony’s PS1 and PS2 videos from earlier in the week, a Playstation 3 follow-up was released late last night. As expected, the video takes us from the PS3’s announcement at E3 2005, right to today, in which you’re hopefully playing Ni No Kuni.

 

Take a trip down memory lane with the video below, and let us know what you think!

 

 

All of these videos are ramping up to the ‘Future of Playstation’ presentation on Wednesday night. Sony is widely expected to unveil a PS3 successor during the keynote. Everyone’s expecting it, but only time will tell! What do you think will be announced?

So… Planning on picking up a PS4?

 

On Friday, Sony Computer Entertainment revealed a neat teaser for their upcoming keynote presentation (this Wednesday at 6PM ET). The video was a How It’s Made style look at the beginning of the Playstation brand, through to the end of the first Playstation’s lifecycle. The teaser sealed the deal for me, and I now firmly believe that Wednesday’s announcement will include new Playstation hardware. I also guessed that we’d be seeing Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 videos before Wednesday arrived.

 

The PS2 video has been released; titled Evolution of Playstation: Playstation 2. The content is very similar to that of the first video, but of course chronicling the life of the second generation console. Check it out below, and let us know what you think!

 

 

Are you looking forward to Wednesday’s announcement? When do you think the PS3 video will drop? Is that leaked controller the real thing?

In early February, Sony invited all of us to a special presentation about the future of Playstation. The internet immediately went wild with speculation that the announcement of a fourth Playstation console was imminent; the Wall Street Journal also confirmed the speculation with a reliable source.

 

I didn’t believe it at first, but after seeing today’s follow-up teaser, I’m not sure what else it could be; watch the video below and you’ll see what I mean!

 

Images of an apparently legitimate prototype controller have also made their way online. It looks similar to the DualShock we know and love, but with an intriguing touch panel in the centre. You’ll have to decide for yourself whether or not you believe this one, but multiple sources have confirmed that it’s a real (though early) prototype.

Sony’s presentation will stream live this Wednesday, February 20th at 6PM Eastern. Will you be watching? Will you be disappointed if we don’t see a new console? Sound out below!

This is some dedication right here.

Little Big Planet 2 has seen some impressive stuff since its release in January 2011: from a Pac-Man remake, Portal adaptation, plenty of FPS renditions, full on RPG titles, and many more. This has to be the most impressive labor of love I’ve seen however.

Jamie Colliver, Final-Fantasy fiend has taken six months of his life and recreated Final Fantasy VII in Little Big Planet 2. Not a level, not a piece or a chapter, but the entire freaking game. From the bombing mission that opens the classic title to the shocking death of Aerith, and even your final battle with Sephiroth: every bit of dialogue, every piece of music. It’s the whole experience.

Embedded below are a couple of Jamie’s videos. You can find even more on his YouTube channel. Thanks to PSU for letting us know about this one.
