No matter how blunt the news, Yoshida was likely direct in his response because of increased rumors regarding Sony’s interest in producing their own Japanese-style role-playing game. Although Japan has proven a waning console RPG market over the past few years, some fans believe that Sony was enjoying such a comfortable lead in this generation’s “console wars” that they could take a gamble on revitalizing a slowly withering market....
Whatever the case may be, some members of The Last of Us team have done little to hide the fact that talks about The Last of Us 2 have occurred and are occurring. In fact, it seems likely that the only thing standing in The Last of Us 2’s way, as far as an official announcement is concerned, is Uncharted 4. So, while Sony Computer Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida was talking with Eurogamer at EGX, it was inevitable that the conversation shift to The Last of Us 2, if only for a little bit....
RELATED: Olivia Wilde To Direct An MCU Film, Probably Spider-Woman The idea is akin to Marvel’s former run of Netflix shows, which featured Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, as well as The Defenders which brought them all together. It’s unknown whether this new series of shows will follow a similar structure, though considering it’s Marvel, who features more crossovers than a Boy Scouts knot guide, it’s probably safe to assume....
This likely comes as shocking news to the employees of the closed studios as 205 positions at the online-focused wing of Sony Computer Entertainment America were eliminated. The remaining staff will be transfered to SOE’s San Diego studio where work is being done on two new MMOs based on the PlanetSide and EverQuest properties. Along with the jobs and studios having their plug pulled comes news that SOE has cancelled development on their still-unreleased title The Agency....
Thankfully, this waiting game now has an end date in sight, as the company is finally sharing some concrete information about the gadget. Sony’s Instagram account recently posted an official launch window announcement for the PS VR2, revealing that the headset will be getting released sometime in early 2023.

That’s not to say that the community can’t iterate on Sony’s design in the meantime, however. Matthew Perks had a similar idea, and since he’s the owner of DIY Perks, a YouTube channel that specializes in designing, conceptualizing, and building homebrew gadgets, PCs, and gaming consoles, he took it upon himself to build a proper PS5 “Slim.” RELATED: PS1 Games on PS Plus Are Superior Versions Building awesome custom PlayStation 5 consoles is not a new fad, but it’s safe to say that DIY Perks’ take on this problem certainly goes a step above most others....
Despite PlayStation Home’s shutdown in 2015, Sony has renewed the trademark for the service recently, possibly (but not definitely) suggesting the service, at least in name, will come back at some point in the near future. The trademark reportedly will last until 2028, but other details are unclear, and Sony has made no official statements.

But Jim Ryan had more to discuss than just console sales. He also discussed Sony’s plans to move forward in the VR market with a second version of the PlayStation VR in development. Ryan claims that the new VR device (unnamed at this point) will possibly have a single cord setup that plugs directly into the PS5. Development kits are already being prepared. With big plans for the VR device and more PS5 exclusives on the way, Ryan ensures the public that Sony is doing its best to get consoles moving....
A lot of that has to do with the ease of indie developers getting into the business, the growth of mods that spawn entirely new games (see: DayZ), goofy trends (see: Grass Simulator) and most of all in recent months - early access games. Gamasutra held a Q&A with with Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Adam Boyes and the most interesting points of discussion fell on the growing popularity and success of early access video games on PC - products that release partially or early on in development, missing features and often times broken, that let players get in on the action from the ground floor… for a price of course....
The company increased prices to match third-party sellers’ prices and unreasonably limited competition to maximize and increase its profits, according to a lawsuit filed simultaneously with a consent decree by the attorney general’s office in King County Superior Court. Most products from third-party sellers had prices that were “fixed, raised, maintained, or stabilized at artificially high levels through price increases, price floors, and/or discount prevention,” according to the lawsuit. This forced consumers to pay more for products than they would have in a competitive market, the lawsuit says....
Patterson even did color commentary for a short period following his retirement from the ring in 1984. During the Attitude Era, Patterson was one of Mr. McMahon’s “stooges” alongside fellow WWE legend Gerald Brisco. Patterson pinned Crash Holly during his time as one of the Stooges, to win the WWE Hardcore Championship. Patterson was a part of the RAW Reunion last year, where he pinned Drake Maverick to win the WWE 24/7 Championship....
Even though the rain had subsided by 7:30 p.m. local time, the field was too saturated for the crew to properly clean up. The last Angels home rainout was on June 16, 1995, against the White Sox. Sunday was the first rain delay since April 24, 2011, when a game against the Red Sox was delayed for five minutes by the threat of rain.

Statham’s unshakable faith in real estate goes a long way to explaining one of the most surprising aspects of the current economic slowdown: the remarkable strength of the housing market. While key measures of economic health–car sales, productivity and capital spending –are slipping, home sales have been strikingly resilient. In the first three months of the year, sales of existing homes and condos were the highest ever, and sales of newly built houses also set a record for the first quarter....
Since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho at the helm for United, Lukaku has had to contend with playing second fiddle to Marcus Rashford or being shunted out wide. With Rashford suffering a knock against Liverpool on Sunday, Solskjaer left him on the bench and started Lukaku as the focal point of the attack against Palace and the Belgian grasped his opportunity with both hands, scoring United’s first two goals. Ashley Young then wrapped things up late on after Joel Ward had pulled one back, but it was Lukaku who Solskjaer focused on after the game....
United ended a three-game winless Premier League run thanks to Marcus Rashford’s eighth-minute penalty at Old Trafford. McTominay produced a standout display in midfield in the absence of the injured Paul Pogba, shackling James Maddison while triggering United’s counter-attacks as they kept Leicester comfortably at bay. “He’s improving, isn’t he?” Solskjaer said of the 22-year-old. “Today, I thought he was excellent. He lost the ball a couple of times, which you’d expect because he’s learning his new role as a sitting midfielder....
Pochettino has been a rumoured target for United for some time and is now available after being sacked by Tottenham on Tuesday. With the Red Devils sitting seventh in the Premier League table, nine points adrift of a Champions League spot, Solskjaer could be forgiven for looking nervously over his shoulder, but the Norwegian cut a relaxed figure at his media conference on Friday. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s trip to Sheffield United, he said: “It’s always sad when one of your colleagues - a good man - loses his job just before Christmas....
Solskjaer has revitalised United’s form and morale since taking over on a caretaker basis following Mourinho’s departure in December. Although consecutive defeats to Arsenal in the Premier League and Wolves in the FA Cup have dented their campaign, United have got themselves back into the top-four race and the quarter-finals of the Champions League under their former striker. No decision on a permanent appointment has yet been announced, but while admitting that Solskjaer deserves credit for creating a more positive atmosphere, Van Gaal – who managed the club between 2014 and 2016 – believes he is guilty of tactics every bit as negative as Mourinho’s....
The Red Devils went into Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League game against PSG with a chance to seal qualification to the knockout stage. All they needed to do was not lose the game. However, after 90 minutes of action, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his charges fell to a disappointing 3-1 loss against the Ligue 1 champions. The blame game has expectedly been in full swing following Manchester United’s defeat. Some have blamed Fred for getting himself sent off while others have called out the team’s attackers for their wastefulness in front of goal....
The 19-year-old striker has risen to prominence after a stunning start to the season with Austrian champions Salzburg. A senior Norway international despite his tender age, Haaland has already netted four hat-tricks this term across all competitions, the most recent of which came last week in his Champions League debut, inspiring a 6-2 demolition of Genk. Haaland – the son of former Leeds United and Manchester City defender Alf-Inge Haaland – also plundered a remarkable nine goals in a single match during the Under-20 World Cup in May, as Norway crushed Honduras 12-0....
