During GameCom 2012 Sony held a press event at the beginning of it during which they announced Playstation Mobile, basically a re-branding of Playstation Suite. Along with that, Sony also announced what this new service will do, which is to offer games to the PS Vita and Android Playstation Certified devices. Now we already know at least 11 games that will be arriving on Playstation Mobile.
If you happened to catch the Sony press conference at the beginning of GamesCom 2012 the other day, you may have saw the onslaught of images flying across the screen during the intro to the Playstation Mobile segment of the event. Some seemed familiar while others did not. Nothing unusual there right?
Anonymous has claimed their newest exploit in the world of effing over the big companies and this time Sony was the target again with another Playstation Network breach. So why in hell are we reporting on it? Remember yesterday’s announcement of Playstation Mobile for Vita and Android Playstation Certified devices? That’s why.
Along with the announcement of Asus and Wikipad partnering with Sony to bring Playstation Certification to their devices at Sony’s GamesCom 2012 press conference, Sony also announced Playstation Mobile, the official re-branding of the Playstation Suite and along with that, some details on how it will work.
The Sony press conference is currently going on right now at GamesCom 2012 and during this press event Sony had a small portion set aside for Playstation Mobile which includes Android devices. During the small segment, they announced something pretty much no one had any idea would be happening.
It was only a couple of weeks ago when we reported on Sony and the fact that they were turning down people needing their Android devices repaired if they have, or have had, their bootloaders unlocked. While we discussed this issue back then and the irony about the situation, Sony has come out to speak on the matter a bit more.
Sony seems to have sprung a bit of a leak today and it appears this leak deals with a new Xperia branded tablet and it looks pretty promising. This new Sony tablet looks like it will be the next gen device for the company over their previous two tablets and will come sporting a Tegra 3 chipset.
In an interesting move by Sony regarding Xperia devices, anyone who is fiddling with the Android OS on any of them by rooting their Xperia device won’t be able to have it fixed by Sony should anything go wrong with your Xperia phone regardless if it is hardware related.
One of the more bits of interesting news flying around the internet right now is the fact that Sony is investing in cloud game streaming and is doing so with the now confirmed purchase of cloud game streaming service Gaikai for a reported $380 million, a bit less than the rumored $500 million Gaikai was apparently looking for a week and a half ago.
Another practice that is starting to become common place is the development of companion apps for games. There are already plenty of them available for a variety of games from World of Warcraft to the Ghost Recon Network app. Now the Playstation 3 game Starhawk has its own companion application called Starhawk Uplink.
