Hey guys, work swallowed me up last week and I wasn’t feeling too good the week before, but here I am! letting informing you lot about some gaming news. Turns out, there were quite a few vita games announced recently, so that’s a plus! Have a peek inside to find out what ones….

 

These games also include the ones I found last week, but there’s quite a few! It seems like Vita announcements are picking up!

Poltergeist – October this year



Your objective is to scare the tenants that live in a haunted manor with the help of certain powers at your disposal. That’s right! You can now call it payback time for all those other games where you were the scared one!

Poltergeist is more of a calm puzzle game, than an endless, action type of game. But we hope you can feel like geniuses each time you manage to solve a level. In Poltergeist, you’ll witness the history of the manor across a variety of eras. You will scare people from the 30′s, the 80s, even in an office! The basic idea is to create nice environments of the different periods of time from the past century. You will take advantage of the objects of each era, and you will face different bosses, each one representative of their time period.

Senran Kagura – October 14th

Nova – 111 – Early 2015



Nova-111 is a sci-fi themed adventure game that cleverly combines turn-based gameplay with real-time action, forcing players to utilize both real-time decisions and turn-based strategy to fight enemies and solve puzzles.

Jungle Rumble: Freedom, Happiness, and Bananas – No set release date yet



What’s Jungle Rumble? The player drums to control a tribe of monkeys. A rival tribe invades to steal bananas. The player sends monkey minions into the fray by drumming on the screen. It’s the world’s craziest rhythm game.

Using the PS Vita’s touch screen to tap along to the beat of the jungle, players drum on monkeys and then drum on trees to have their simian soldiers swing through the trees. Drum on coconuts and then drum on enemies to throw those coconuts with rhythmic flair. The player jaunts through the jungle with a rhythmic grammar. Unlike a traditional rhythm game there is no script to follow—in Jungle Rumble drumming controls the game.

Run Sackboy! Run! – October this year

This looks pretty interesting, well, it’s basically temple run but little big planet themed. But more than just a quick muck up, there seems to be a bit of effort gone into this one. You can earn exclusive costumes to unlock in LBP3, here’s the teams description of it:



The Negativitron (that big nasty vacuum cleaner who sucks up all the creativity) is back, wreaking havoc on Craftworld and nipping at the heels of our very own Sackboy! Using simple tap and swipe gestures, you’ll speed through three iconic worlds from the LittleBigPlanet series — The Gardens, The Canyons, and Avalonia — evading danger for as long you can. Anyone can enjoy the game, but as Sackboy charges along at top speed, you’re going to need super-quick reactions to keep him on course and out of trouble.

Ray’s The Dead – Mid 2015

This was initially announced for the PS4 and the team decided to make it as a part of the Cross buy program, so if you buy the PS4 version, you get the Vita version for free!

The Order:1886 had plenty of hype about it a few months ago, but that has seemed to have died down… however their new Dev diary released a few days ago may re-ignite the excitement for the game, showcasing the different types of weapons in the game and certain characters, take a look for yourself:

This is the third developer diary they’ve shown, take a look at the other ones here:

The Order: 1886 | Official Behind the Scenes 1 | Fusing History & Mythology (PS4)

The Order: 1886 | Official Behind the Scenes 2 | The Evolution of the Half-Breeds (PS4)

 

They are certainly pretty impressive, I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around how good it looks……

Bloodbourne!

The game created by the Sadists that created the Souls series, they have seemed to have done equally as well at creating a dingy dark place for you to… kill stuff. At TGS, they released a healthy slice of gameplay and a new 2 minute trailer, here’s both:

 

But that’s not all! There’s also a release date, as the nice guy said in the video above, of February 6th 2015, I’m on the fence about this game, but I’m definitely leaning towards more of a yes.

Next up, a good serving of DriveClub News, and good news at that!

It was always known that there would be DLC for the game, but how that would work? We didn’t know. But in a blog post, Jamie Brayshaw, the community manager at Evolution Studios, detailed their plans. To skip all the describing and explaining, here’s an infographic:



There will also be a Season Pass available for €24.99 so that you can pre-order the DLC packs and get a huge saving. In fact, it works out that with the Season Pass you’ll save more than 60% on the cost of purchasing these packs individually, as the total value of the packs will be €75.84 (based on regular price on PlayStation Store).

 

The plan seems pretty solid, they’ve planned on 9 free cars, 11 free tracks, including free updates along the way.

I’m pretty pleased with this, and I’m pretty tempted to purchase the full game, seems like a must buy……..

At TGS, Yoshida spoke about the Morpheus to the Wall Street Journal, Yoshida said that the headset is close to being finished, about 85% done, but is not ready for retail stores yet.

He also mentions how hopefully, the headset will be profitable due to the components inside the headset are actually currently used in smartphones.

With the Morpheus and PlayStation 4, we can offer them a totally new virtual reality experience in a lighthearted and fun manner

This seems pretty cool, the full interview is here if you’d like to give it a read:

Okay, so the WTH news piece of this week is PS4 shoes…. Now unfortunately this doesn’t mean you have a PS4 on the go, but the shoes do actualy have a HDMi slot in them, take a look, what do you think of them?

Okay, so the HDMi slot at the bottom does absolutely nothing. Its purpose is so you can carry the shoes by holding a cable… rather than holding them like a normal person. Second of all, the shoes cost a whopping $950, and come with a custom box, there;s only going to be 10 made, so if you want one you’ll need to send him an email or drop him a message on his Instagram page…. professional.

Dualshockers had an interview with the creator, it’s rather interesting so give it a read:
