PS4 Prototype Controller


This is apparently the prototype of the upcoming PlayStation 4's new controller, there's clear similarities to the current PlayStation 3 controller however it looks obese; almost like a cross between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 controller.  There are also other differences including a speaker, an unknown port (I'm guessing it's an audio port), a new d-pad, a move sensor (<sarcasm>woo - more interactive games </sarcasm>) and a "possible share button".  

Here are the different PlayStation controllers, from PS2 to the PS4 prototype. 





In unrelated news, I just finished BBC's Sherlock series and OH MY GOSH. Can't wait for season 3.

Rest In Piece PS2


So, apparently Sony has officially stopped manufacturing PlayStation 2's after selling over 150 million units, and also 6 years after its successor was released, the PS3.  Don't worry, don't feel bad I also had no idea they were still being made up until recently (seriously.. who would even use a PlayStation 2 still?)

"After over 150 million units sold, Sony has finally put the PlayStation 2 out to pasture.

Even now, as we bid the old bird farewell, the PS2 can hold its proverbial head high. Over 1.5 billion copies of nearly 11,000 titles were sold over the last 12 years. The 70 million PS3 sales to date pale in comparison the the numbers put up by the PS2. In fact, by the numbers, the PS2 is -- make that was -- the most successful console of all time."


Who cares? Goodnight sweet prince.

Dead Island in real life

 
The last post I made was also about a game set in real life, so posting this probably wasn't appropriate however I love zombies, fat ones, ugly ones and cute ones (if I try to be anymore descriptive it will probably be offensive or contain some sort of accidental racism).

ANYWAY, the Youtube user GoingNowhereShow made a "Real Life Dead Island" video showing what Dead Island would look like in real life - however in Dead Island you run around with a coat hanger killing zombies and exploding gas canisters, which I guess is probably realistic.


I also love short zombies, tal- OH, NOW I GET IT, I UNDERSTAND THE IRONIC NAME, "REAL LIFE DEAD ISLAND" - hilarious. Watch the video for a 3 minutes of zombie killing, door opening, coat hanging fun, I'd recommend watching it even if you haven't got Dead Island.
