The Tokyo Game Show came with much more news for mobile gaming than we thought it would which is always nice and among the news was Sony’s announcement of the Playstation Suite SDK for developing games for Playstation Certified devices and a more vague announcement of a push for content on those devices.
During our talk with Sony Ericsson on Wednesday during VDCC (Verizon’s developer conference) we asked about the word going around that there would not be another iteration of the Xperia Play device. Sony Ericsson did drop a few hints as to what the future holds for the Xperia Play.
So word out of the Tokyo Game Show today has Sony announcing their new Playstation SDK which will allow developers to use one SDK when creating games that will run on all the Playstation Certified devices. This includes the Xperia Play, the two new Sony Tablets and even the PS Vita.
Awesome news for all you Xperia Play owners out there. The nice Pocket PlayStation feature has been reverse-engineered to be able to play ISOs now as well. This, of course, comes from a developer over at XDA and you can thank them shortly.
So far the games being offered on the Playstation Suite for Android have been pretty much of average quality with the odd gem in there. Well there are two new titles available on the Playstation Suite, both of which are sports games called Everybody’s Golf 2 and Jet Rider.
Well now that the bad news regarding the Xperia Play, at least for our friends in New Zealand, is out of the way, there is some good news to report on as well. For all of us Android gamers here in the US, the Xperia Play on Verizon has finally gotten a pre-order and launch date along with some pricing to round it all off.
Sony Ericsson’s Android gaming device, the Xperia Play, has been out for a little bit now and with the ability to play games using the control pad, you would think people would be all for buying Playstation One games. Being a Playstation certified device comes with some benefits, sales apparently isn’t one of them though… yet.
Sony officially announces the dual-core S1 and S2 Android Tablets. Security failure sold separately.
What an interesting 24hours it has been regarding Sony and the Playstation Network. Sony held a press conference early this morning to announce officially their two upcoming Android tablets, codenamed the S1 and S2. Both will be Playstation certified. This afternoon, Sony finally came clean about what happened to the PSN as well.
Once in awhile, on occasion, there is something completely unrelated to Android that we just feel is our civic duty to post about. As everyone knows, unless you are living under a rock, the Playstation Network has been down for a few days due to outside attacks on it. Here is one man’s plea to bring it back online.
