Minimur, WTH Happened This Week? PSM has gone,Playstation Now launches in UK & UC Collection Footage!
Hey, I apologize I missed the last week. I got caught up with work š As for this week though itās pretty packed, with some Shenmue 3 news, an excitable winner of an Xbox One, and more!Ā
Weāve got plenty up to read this week, including a few interesting links of news from the week prior at the bottom for you to take a gander at!
First up though, the announcement of the game Never Alone makes its way to PS3 and PS Vita.
The game is already on the PS4, but the recent announcement let us know itāll be making its way to the 2 other Playstation Ā consoles, I reached out to @askplaystation and the developers but they have no news on whether or not it will support the PS TV
It was inevitable, but itās finally happened, PlayStation Mobile is dead, gone. Forever.
It was a good idea, but unfortunately it didnāt take off like Sony were expecting, as for games that youāve already purchased, you will have until the end of 10/09/2015 to download it, otherwise it is gone forever!
I recently bought 2 games from there before it shut down, Oh Deer! Alpha and Pixel Poop, yeah, I bought that (itās not actually that bad a game if I may add!)
There werenāt too many interesting games on there, none that grabbed my attention too much. The two games I bought were both dirt cheap, about Ā£0.40 each, and theyāre good for a quick bit of fun.
Unfortunately though, if you head on to the PS Store now, youāll be greeted with this:

Can you break a world record?
Well, the game Shenmue 3 certainly did, breaking the record on Kickstarter for the most funded game, ending up with $6,333,295 ā the total contribution ofĀ 69,320Ā backers, which is a heck of an achievement.
This game has had its fair amount of controversy, as it is receiving some funding from Sony, and supposedly other sources too. We are unaware of how much, which is obviously all under wraps. Only time will tell how big a game this is!
Are you one of those 69,000 backers?

The Nathan Drake collection has been met with a fair bit of controversy, following the fact that UC2&3 doesnāt have multiplayer, in its place you get access to Uncharted 4 multiplayer Beta, but weāve yet to see any footage of it so itās easy to complain. It could well be better than UC2&3 put together, but it wonāt be the same, I will wait to see more of this before jumpingĀ on board, as I have all 3 games on my PS3 and canāt warrant 3 more to put into my backlog!
In any case, the improvements that come with the collection, include a new difficulty called ābrutalā much like how TLoU featured a new āgroundedā difficulty as extra DLC post release.
As for gameplay, this unofficial video was released the other day. This was the only copy of it I could find as it seems to have been removed everywhere else.
For the few readers that are in the UK, Playstation Now isā¦. now in open Beta for all of us to try now, they do not currently offer a subscription, but itās something that is in the works:

Since the announcement of Fallout 4, many people have lost their mind, and might I say so myself it seems like itās shaping up to be a pretty awesome game. A new piece of info that can put into perspective the scope of the game, bearing in mind they would beĀ putting on the finishing touches on the game now, is the amount of dialogue in the game.
The dialogue options seem to be pretty intensive, with Todd Howard, game director on the game said how each character has done over 13,000 lines of dialogue over 2 years.
He went on to say how great the voice actors were, and how scenes may play out differently depending on what you choose:
We were lucky to find two great voice actors, and itās interesting because she may read things or act things differently than he does. So scenes play out differently depending on whether you are playing the game as male or female.

This is certainly going to be a huge game, and itās certainly on my radar. Itās only a matter of time before itās in my Amazon basket though, Iām sure of it.
More fallout shelter news, something I covered a few weeks ago is that the android version is a few months away. But this article was on how much money the game has made, this free-to-play game, has made a total of $5.1million in the space of a month, which is pretty ridiculous, thatās a pretty large amount, but I can assure you that none of that $5 million is me, as Iām just sitting here with my android device.

Hereās something that makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it. This young chap below, won an Xbox One during SD Comic Con with ESL, and he just couldnāt contain his excitement, so much so that he had to run away after he got his prizeā¦ā¦ kinda.
Yaayyā¦ā¦.

Sony is not funding shenmu 3. I donāt know where people got this rumour from. Sony is paying for advertisement and publishing rights. That is all!
