@Porco Not strictly true as the first game they made in 2006 was an original IP called Blast Factor. Though, granted, it was a very minor one, so I guess if Bluepoint are working on a new “AAA” IP now, then Nixxes could too at some point, especially if PlayStation’s PC strategy fizzles out.
@jamison1993 - Agreed, and while it’s true that the PS2 emulator is broken on PS5, it’s no excuse. Sony should have fixed it by now at the very least. Preferably, they’d have also brought it up to date with the extra features of the PS/PSP emulators and added new games, but one step at a time I suppose. 😅
@Balosi That’s only how to “redeem” it as it were. I mean how Sony give people the tasks in the first place. You will only get the Wonderbook one if you actually owned a Wonderbook.
I don’t get how Sony track some of these “PlayStation & You” challenges. Like how do they know if you had a Wonderbook or a PS Eye etc? Then of course there was the PS3 one which they didn’t even give to people who had a PS3. 🙄
Sony haven’t released a single new PS2 game to PS+ Premium yet, and have opted for PSP versions instead a couple of times now. Why? Probably because they haven’t bothered to update the PS2 emulator since it launched on PS4 and it is not only lacking in the added features (save states, rewind etc.) but for the most part it’s completely broken on PS5! Many of the PS2 games on Premium have game breaking bugs when played on PS5. Yet another reason Premium is bollocks. 😅
I think Clap Hanz moved on from PS when Japan Studio was closed tbh. JS often acted as a collaboration partner to second and third parties in Asia, just as XDev does for European studios. So Clap Hanz probably lost their contacts within Sony.
@nessisonett Yeah, same. I’ve been twice: not long after opening and then again when the video game exhibition was running. It detailed the making of The Last of Us which was cool!

Re: Sony's PC Port Dev Nixxes Under the Microscope in Studio Profile Video
@Porco I don’t think that would happen as Nixxes has always been a port/support studio since its founding in 1999. They’ve never created their own IP.
Re: Park Beyond (PS5) - Shallow Park Builder Besieged by Technical Issues
From the same devs that killed Tropico, the flop that was Tropico 6.
Re: Sonic Superstars Is a New Spin on 2D Hedgehog Action, Hits PS5, PS4 in 2023
This looks like the New Super Mario Bros. of the Sonic world! Classic gameplay but with fresh graphics and 4-player co-op.
Re: New PS Plus Premium Classic Games Will Ship with Trophies
@Snake_V5 Sony owns the Blade Dancer IP and have published this re-release. So still only first party classics get trophies at the moment.

Re: The Last of Us PC Is Not 'Naughty Dog Quality', Developer Admits
That clip is from the original remaster on PS4 apparently, not the remake on PC. You can even see the console in the video.

Love how this article was posted “Tomorrow 00:00” even though it’s only 10:30 here. Spoooky
Re: Mental Clean-'Em-Up PixelJunk Scrappers Deluxe Punches to PS5, PS4 in 2023
Aw yeah, glad PixelJunk is coming back home! It was a PlayStation staple of the early PSN days. Hope we get Eden 2 as well at some point.
Re: Cities: Skylines Remastered Builds Bigger Maps with Better Graphics on PS5 Next Week
Oh geez… getting all those trophies again! 😬😂
Re: Sony Quietly Adds Trophies to Another PS Plus Premium Classic
@BlaizeV It is meant to but I have heard some people have had issues with it.
I’m glad Sony are adding trophies to their games, they just need to get third-parties on board. That’s the key!
Re: Crash Team Rumble Is a Competitive Multiplayer Spin-Off for PS5, PS4
I’m more sad that Crash is now on its third release after the trilogy while poor Spyro has had nothing!

Re: Talking Point: Which Free December 2020 PS Plus Games Are You Hoping For?
TROPICO 6!
I loved 5 but heard 6 isn’t worth the money, hence why I’m hoping it’ll be ‘free’ with Plus. 😈
Re: King Oddball, Undead Horde Grab PS5 Versions
@PixelRunner Angry Birds?
Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Trophies Tease a Fulfilling Platinum
@GoodGame England is, the rest of us are doing alright. 😶
Re: Talking Point: What Free November 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Probably an unpopular opinion but please give me Tropico 6. Thanks Sony. 😇

Re: Rockstar Acquires Ruffian Games, Rebrands Rockstar Dundee
@nessisonett Indeed, it’s the city where GTA was born in fact. It’s well known for design, hence why it was chosen for the V&A design museum. 😉
Re: This Is the Real-Life Model Peter Parker's Face Is Based on in Spider-Man PS5
@nessisonett I was thinking the same! Haha. He looks nothing like him
Re: Quantic Dream Classic Fahrenheit Getting 15th Anniversary Physical Release on PS4
Nah, it’s on the EU store as well.
Re: PS Plus Has Given Out Over 1,000 Free Games Since Launching
I wonder where they are getting 1000 from?
It’s about 650 by my count:

Re: Two Point Hospital - Management Sim Is a Worthy Successor to Theme Hospital
Have this on Steam and preordered for PS4 since last year. The time is almost here and I can’t wait! The platinum trophy will be mine! 😎😁
Re: Interview: Two Point Hospital Devs Talk Diseases, Dad Jokes, and DualShock 4
@nessisonett This is the original devs too, reunited from Bullfrog. 😁
