The Drop

Prepare to weaponize the entire city of Chicago in Watch_Dogs, the hotly-anticipated open world experience on PS4 and PS3.

Now the brilliant hacker is out for revenge, turning the connected city of Chicago into a technological battleground. Watch_Dogs enables players to use Aiden’s skills in every element of play, from hacking into personal data banks to driving through alleyways at breakneck speeds.

For those interested in a more old-school experience, The Sly Cooper Collection is coming to PS Vita this week. This platforming powerhouse packs three classic PlayStation games into one portable experience. Relive the critically-acclaimed blend of stealth, combat, strategy, and Sly goodness anywhere, anytime.

New PlayStation Releases This Week

Ace Combat Infinity
PS3 — Digital
Free-to-play aerial shooting action. Put yourself into the pilot seat of real aircraft and tear across the skies. Freely roam battlefields and engage vicious enemy pilots. Includes a single-player story mode and online multiplayer.
Lemmings Touch
PS Vita — Digital
Harness all new ways to play as you guide a bunch of the carefree, unsuspecting rodents through detailed levels filled with devious pitfalls and hazards.

Mind Zero
PS Vita — Digital, Retail
Mind Zero is an action-packed, dungeon-crawler RPG. Play as Kei, a high school student whose life turns upside down when he forms a contract with a “MIND,” a weapon/being with deadly powers. With the government and other forces trailing him and his friends, Kei will need to discover the secret behind “MIND.”
Monster Monpiece
PS Vita — Digital
Likeable characters and a story rife with adventure. With a wide range of unique and quirky personalities, the entire cast of Monster Monpiece adds a little spice to the story from beginning to end. While the battle system seems simple, you’ll need a strategic mind to best utilize your Monster Girls’ Skills and Potentials in battle.
The Sly Cooper Collection for PS Vita
PS Vita — Digital, Retail
Experience the classic PlayStation platformers again with a portable collection of three Sly Cooper games, all packaged together. Sneak, slink, and strike your way through colorful worlds as the legendary Thievius Raccoonus.
Watch_Dogs
PS4, PS3 — Digital, Retail

While on the hunt for those responsible, you’ll tap into the city’s omnipresent security cameras, download personal information, control systems such as traffic lights and the electrical grid to stop a chase, and more. Get it this week for 60 minutes of additional gameplay only on PS4 and PS3.

    In my opinion, Sony should remove the comment section entirely because it gives the idiots who would otherwise stay silent an avenue to let everyone know how pathetic they are. That’s the problem with a public internet forum, like this one.

    They should go back to the old days where if you had a legitimate concern, you could mail them a letter. It was an inadvertently fantastic method for filtering out the junk. A tangible spam filter, if you will. It may seem counter-productive on the surface, but it’s really the opposite. Because when you add a few hoops to jump through in order to contact the company, only the people with legitimate concerns will take their time. The crybabies, knowing their complaints are petty, would have to accept things as they are, as they should. This leads to less time spent sifting through crap, and more time spent enhancing the product… and therefore, greater productivity.

  • @PrimeroIncognito Rez just wanted to use a joke about trying google, it didn’t matter to him that his comment made zero sense. It seems apparent from all his comments today, that making coherent statements are not his thing.

  • PrimeroIncognito

    @ GummyCore (#96)

    The majority doesn’t post on this blog.

    @ GummyCore (#97)

    I’m not trying to change anyone’s opinion. I’m pointing out the facts that you are strangely resistant to. I just want you to know the real deal. Sorry I’m not an enabler. I won’t hold your hand and tell you you’re right when you’re not. I’m really just trying to help, even though you can’t see that.

    You’re really in a combative mood tonight, aren’t ya? ;)

  • PrimeroIncognito

    @ rabidninjamonky

    Today? Have you read his stuff in the past? Dude does this A LOT.

  • @PrimeroIncognito I probably saw his posts before, but immediately stopped reading. Does he always expect Sony to answer questions about games they don’t even make? Is he always this delusional? He probably would go to Walmart’s customer service to ask if Tuna Helper is bringing back Tuna au gratin(which would be awesome btw!), instead of asking the people that actually make Tuna Helper.

  • PrimeroIncognito

    @ rabidninjamonky

    Yes, he does this a lot. How many times, I’m not sure. I lost count a long time ago. And he’s obsessed with “leadership”. Another delusional characteristic of his. He really believes he’s a great leader of some sort… leading his blind army straight off a cliff, no doubt.

    And yes, good point about the tuna. That’s exactly what I was saying. Go to the source if you want answers.

    Good night.

    Obviously, studying communication and writing help, but the hard part is getting noticed. Do yourself a favor and write every day. It doesn’t matter if it has anything to do with gaming, or journalism, or anything — just write. You need to find a voice, but you can’t do that without writing religiously.

    Find your way into networks with people who are involved in the field you want to be in, or who can help you get to where you want to be. These networks can be event-based or online, but it’s a huge part of finding your dream job. It’s not always about who you know, but who you know can make it a heck of a lot easier.

    Writing for local rags and mags won’t pay much, but the occasional game review gives you published inches, and you will need that to get anything close to the job you want. The people who work with you become an important part of that network.

    Write blog posts at places like Gamespot and IGN. You need to take the voice that you’ve created yourself, and you need to adapt it to a style which gets people engaged and asking questions. You can’t survive as a journalist if you can’t get people wanting to interact with you and your stories.

    Good luck!

  • Sly Cooper Collection for the Vita for the WIN! It’ll be nice to be able to play all 4 games on the Vita system (already have Thieves In Time). Way to go!

  • @99, So Sony should shut down all water coolers around the world too then? Anyone with a complaint can fill in form SCEA-11-C14 appendix K in quadruplicate to request for a complaint form. Any other form of discussion that involves voicing of negative opinion is prohibited as they are “junk”, “spam”, “crap”, “petty” (among other choice words you have for people who have different opinions from yours).

    What makes you think that everything said here must be directly addressed to Sony and are formal requests? You have never heard of people chatting among themselves around water coolers or via any other form of unproductive use of their own time?

    You said: “In my opinion, Sony should remove the comment section entirely because it gives the idiots who would otherwise stay silent an avenue to let everyone know how pathetic they are.” Congratulations, you have single-handedly demonstrated your own point loud and clear.

  • LMAO @ Rezo.
    First he’s contradicting, then they make it a million times worse and try to validate themselves by doing so even more.
    First, YOU not having time to check more than 1 site for info doesn’t make it any less of official info. You missed out on obvious info that literally takes about 2 seconds to type into google. It’s ironic how you’re spending so much time being immature on the PSBlog and yet, have no time to do a quick google search lol. You’re acting out because I gave THE ANSWERS to the questions… Yet saying they are not really the answers because you never took the time to find this info… You know what, have fun with that logic.

    Next, I appreciate the defence team ppl :)
    Ironic Rez is trying to validate themselves against Monky cause of a intentionally misspelled name, when Rezolution is actually spelled Resolution LMAO. What a hypocrite, it’s over.

  • vita love <3

  • Hey guys! Games are coming out! Let’s all play them and have a good time!

  • when i’m going to be able to download watchdogs ? 05/27/2014 but at 00:00 ?

  • duke301 repeats the same exact comment every week on every watch dogs post. just look back and you will notice he copys and paste. he has been told time and time again that the online option can be turned off. its pretty clear he just wants to believe thats not the case and contunues with his false claims. every damn week. smfh

  • Continues**

  • Once again PrimeroIncognito has to repeat what has already been said copying words like delusional.
    I couldn’t even find the interest to read most of it.
    Must be due to knowing nothing about real games in the first place.
    My last digital purchase was Borderlands 2, his was Hamsterball or something similar.

    Its no wonder you think Sony doesn’t listen.
    Since most of what you have to say relies on someone elses idea, that without having their head up someone else’s @**, that they will not be listened to.

    And since I make a RELEVANT statement about something, you think that entitles you to give your “version”.

    But guess what, you have not changed anything.
    I could care less what a few mindless, buttsore inividuals think.

  • As for Teflon02,
    You have said nothing that has not been obvious.
    Your so impaired, you even failed to realize I already had ALL of the information asked about.

    Its Sony’s Social Media job.
    Not mine.

    That was Relevant.
    The rest was a few igorant customers thinking they have so little worth they feel the need to cause probems and belittle others.

  • Over haha, good one.

  • @GummyCore

    What PimeroImbecilo always fails to realize.
    He prefers to insult others for their opinion acting as Sony.

    Instead of staying on-topic, or even being intersting enough to read.

  • @107

    You knocked that one clear out the park.
    C-ya.

  • Monster Monpiece yay!!

  • Monster Monpiece huh…. Rub responsibly folks!

  • It’s good to see some game coming out for ps vita but at the moment I’m gonna wait for now on any purchases.

  • Come to me Watch_Dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @37

    try to play dynasty warrior 8.. it hack/slash,, very fun stuff.. age and reflexes is not important with that game.

    mcbuttz78 vp-psn legionarre group

  • Someone else having problems with the license? Have payed.

  • Same here cant get watch dogs to work its the pre order delux version

  • Rez you are full of it lmao.
    You ignore your contradiction of bad spelling Monky vs Monkey when you got Rezolution instead of Resolution.
    You’re saying I’m impaired? In what world, it’s not Sony’s job to give info on 3rd Party games. If you were using logic, you’d know in almost every case, 3rd parties actually post on the PS Blog themselves not Sony. They give them the required permission if they are willing to do so. No one is asking you for info, I gave the info that was asked about. No one is asking you to share, you’re being difficult for no reason. Move on and just take your L please. Good day :)

  • I was really hoping to see some more ps2 classics. Love that the SMT series is releasing a lot that I have yet to play, but I still want Rogue Galaxy and maybe Rise to Honor? C’mon, Sony, work on expanding your ps2 classics section! Outside of that, keep up the good work. This company has done a lot of smart things to reward the customer and ensure the success of their brand this gen. Keep listening to your consumers and rewarding loyalty and you’ll have mine forever.

  • rabidninjamonky

    @Res Ok, since you seem to be completely unaware of anything on the internet besides the Playstation Blog, I’ll help you out. This site is mainly for getting info out, they rarely ever answer anything important. They do answer the important questions though. Anything else they don’t answer can be found with a quick google search! Try it! You’re welcome! Heck if you can figure it out, try following @playstation on twitter, they might even answer one of your ridiculous questions.

  • PrimeroIncognito

    Wow, he’s incredibly stubborn…

    He really thinks that spouting off a bunch of “I’m better than you” type of stuff is going to win him the argument.

    No, Rez, it doesn’t work that way. You actually have to back up your points with facts.

    Debate THE POINTS, not the imaginary things you made up about your opponents in your mind.

    Again, the sunshine, fresh air, and chirping birds are out here waiting for you whenever you’re ready…

  • PrimeroIncognito

    @ GummyCore

    If you’re going to use an analogy, use one that at least halfway parallels the point.

    What was all that “water cooler” nonsense about?

  • Wow, I just reread my last post. I meant they rarely answer anything that’s not already well known, but they do usually answer questions when there are problems with the store update or give their impressions on games occasionally. That really is all people should expect out of them. If the developer of the game hasn’t announced something, why would you think the PS Blogcast would?

  • Does anyone know when digital games for Vita become available on the PlayStation Store? I wanted to get the digital version of Sly Cooper Collection for Vita, but I’m not sure when it actually releases on the PlayStation Store. I live in the eastern time zone and it’s to up right now, but I was wondering if anyone knew if it might be up in the morning or if it might not be available digitally until a later date. Thanks!

  • @CourRenee95 – It usually updates around 2-3 PM Eastern time on Tuesdays. Try back then

    @TheRest – just let the Knights of the PSN Blog have their bottle

  • @BahumatIsBack Thank you. It’s not up this morning, but I’ll check back on it later. :)

  • oh boy today is the day!

    ps4!!!!!!!!!

  • Will the Sly Collection get released sometime soon today on PSN? Wanna get it for my little cousin, SHE’S BUGGING ME!!!!!

  • Monster Monpiece for me and play like it’s yugi-oh.

  • CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!! so i downloaded the game on my ps3 console from the store, after waiting a few hours for it to install and download it wont let me play it ! it says something about the date but its the 27th today !! I CANT PLAY IT !

  • I really want Monster Monpiece, but as usual the PSN always takes until later in the evening to update. :(
    That is probably my only issue with the PSN. Why can’t they just update at midnight like Nintendo and Microsoft so that we can buy our games and get playing right away on launch day?

  • Its so sad. What has happened to this world? Transistor is a great game? Its slow, limited, short, and the music puts me out. Really? Are we all that desperate for a good game? Its $20! Its lasting people less than 15 hours! Wow guys. I love sony so much and am so bummed by the store titles and these expensive quick limited indie games. These games should be on my ipad as an app. What free game could you possibly have next month for the ps4? A full game or another indie one player? Man this system costs so much for nada. When can i get a master account for both my ps4s? Sony got involved with game companies to make the system, maybe they should do the same to get some games going. Then the rental service will be worth it and the store may be worth a look. Love you sony. Fight for us! Good luck.
