Playstation Vita Update

 

 

It's here!! The Playstation Vita update that is going to have fans talking! By way of version 3.00 . The most exciting part of this is the PS4 connectivity app. Obviously it doesn't work at this stage you cannot connect to your PS4 that doesn't exist, but day one it will be working straight away.

In addition to this a new "Parental Controls"app will allow you to restrict play time, content rating, browser, location data and access to the PSN network. It really is a nifty feature for concerned parents, especially with R rated games entering the Aussie market.

Watchdogs Delayed

Ubisoft confirmed today that the highly anticipate title Watch Dogs which was originally pinned for a November release has been delayed.

An official statement from the Watch Dogs team reads

"Our ambition from the start with Watch_Dogs has been to deliver something that embodies what we wanted to see in the next-generation of gaming. It is with this in mind that we’ve made the tough decision to delay the release until Autumn 2014.

We know a lot of you are probably wondering ‘why now?’ We struggled with whether we would delay the game. But from the beginning, we have adopted the attitude that we will not compromise on quality. As we got closer to release, as all the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place in our last push before completion, it became clear to us that we needed to take the extra time to polish and fine tune every detail so we can deliver a truly memorable and exceptional experience.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. We thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the way you respond on the web, at events, press conferences and during other opportunities we have to interact. Your passion is what drives us.

We can’t wait to see you in Chicago next Spring. We are confident you’ll love this game as much as we love working on it."
