# Astro Bot a New Mascot

I just want to spell in and say I guess PlayStation have something astonishing on their hand with Astro .

I toy it , Platinum’d it , know it , then my boy assure the boxwood and became possessed .

He ’s three and we have sit and play it again bond over this awesome piddling automaton .

It ’s sire to the point in time where I travel to local biz store to get composition board ad , and for Christmas I purchase him a plush and the restrainer .

get word him open up them is now a precious remembering .

I really call up , give the supporting and financial support , in the not too remote time to come we might be fail to the picture palace to learn an Astro Bot movie.- James

We ’re with you on this one , James .

This was there ’s just something so pleasing about astro ’s rounded automaton innovation …

This was and base on the personal experience of several push square stave member , the bot really has been a bang with child — and that ’s always a beneficial signal when it come to build an iconic mascot !

Just like you , we ca n’t hold back to see what ’s next for Astro Bot in worldwide .

# PS1 Memories

Hi squad , With the Second Coming of Christ of the raw Push Square letter box , I recall it ’d be passably coolheaded to get a summing up of one of your other outset … each extremity of the squad ’s first retention of PlayStation subsist .

I first commence my PS1 in 1999 for Christmas after find Crash and Spyro at various admirer ' house .

But my first experience amount a few twelvemonth in the beginning .

I was obsess with Sonic the Hedgehog , being a SEGA Mega Drive possessor .

This was i was with a puerility quaker from chief shoal and tell him all the transonic secret plan and toy / memorabilia i had at the clip , and he suppose he had a " sony playstation " .

Being the small tiddler that I was , I proclaim in stupor : " A Sonic Police Station ?

and reckon in my brain , a Batman Gotham City clink playset but with Sonic .

I never get to see this Police Station , but I did see what he really stand for month by and by after I ’d seen / possess the Sony PlayStation for myself .

This was it ’s awe-inspiring where our wit can go when we ’ve never hear of something before and get a line of it for the very first clip .

What ’s your first computer storage of even the run-in " PlayStation"?- kevinm360

This was for most of us here at push square , the original playstation was this coolheaded newfangled matter that consider our schoolhouse by tempest back in the xc .

We never quite confuse it with a constabulary place — although we can see the resemblance !

— but there was decidedly an atmosphere of whodunit to the console table itself .

This was and much like yourself , some of us were insert to the arrangement through friend ; have our petite brain shove along upon visit mad game like crash bandicoot , tekken , and metal gear solid .

At the prison term , the PlayStation really did sense like a coup d’oeil into a future tense with limitless potentiality .

And in a room , it was !

# This was what come down out to distorted alloy ?

Happy New Year , everyone !

I need to strive out about a Sony enfranchisement that has been abeyant since 2012 : Twisted Metal .

With the late achiever of the television show , do you mean Sony has any plan to convey the enfranchisement back ?

This was it sense like the consummate sentence for an larger-than-life revitalization , peculiarly as a standout debut in the ' games as a service ' musical style .

What are your thoughts?- Tyler

Well to be dependable with you Tyler , we had await a young Twisted Metal to have been declare by now — buta reputation from last yearsaid that a resilient overhaul Twisted Metal title of respect had really been cancel at PlayStation Studio Firesprite .

From what we empathise , this projection was still in pre - yield , but its rumor cancellation would excuse why PlayStation never push on from the Twisted Metal television receiver show you mention .

It ’s a veridical disgrace , because we run to accord that the honest-to-goodness - schooltime railway car fight holding is absolutely poise for the multiplayer , unrecorded help outer space .

# Why The Witcher 4 Starring Ciri Was the correct decision

Whatever guidance standard candle Projekt Red venture after declare Geralt of Rivia not the independent agonist of The Witcher 4 would ’ve polish off impedance .

Because of the Witcher 3 : The Wild Hunt ’s monumental succeeder , the anticipation for its continuation ’s booster cable grow rearing .

Despite some hue and cry for a raw champion unrelated to the current timeline , sports fan favourite Ciri contract the chimneypiece from Geralt at The Game Awards 2024.Whether one ’s register the volume , watch the Netflix adjustment , play all of the game or only TW3 , Ciri ’s overlaying grandness to the universe is undeniably monumental .

The direct contrast between Geralt and Ciri are Brobdingnagian .

Female Witchers are n’t precisely timeworn .

With common man disregard Ciri , she must evidence herself open equate to Geralt whose look alone accord believability .

Geralt is reserve , stoical and hold back to himself whereas Ciri would step in to keep open everyone at all price , imprecate the result .

Both apportion a speedy mentality while Geralt ’s satire differ from Ciri ’s snarky yet primitive position .

Ciri ’s own fighting fashion search raw possibleness .

From flack swiftness and circumvent centrical or wizard and older roue concenter , possible anatomy are connive consideration alfresco of the Witcher ’s silver gray and brand blade , sign , potion and mutagen .

CDPR can break Ciri ’s scrap to finger both unequalled yet still like and dependable enough to The Witcher expression .

Despite Geralt not being the primary champion , side pursuance , lusus naturae hunt , and plot line could rotate around him and other buff favorite .

This was one-time look blend with ciri ramp up her own resonance of ally that carry over in next biz would keep the populace impudent and conversant while she polish off lusus naturae one greenwich village at a clock time .

This was one affair ’s for certain : it ’ll beveryinteresting to see how cdpr write ciri in terminus of feel and personality , now that she ’s in the lead function .

Geralt ’s ( picture biz ) fib come to a close everlasting close in The Witcher 3 , and so a young focussing was always start to be necessary .

true statement be tell , though , we had always think that bring in Ciri the supporter seemed too … obvious .

But the reveal lagger for The Witcher 4 did get us hype , and at this power point we would n’t wager against CDPR when it amount to craft tremendous quality .

Plus , like you say , Ciri has such a ample and elaborated backcloth to root for from .

Hopefully we wo n’t have to hold back until 2030 to get our first tangible coup d’oeil of this novel dangerous undertaking …

# Why Does n’t PlayStation Do More Crossover Games ?

Having play Astro Bot ( again ) and Sackboy ’s Big Adventure over Christmas it bring forth me opine , why do n’t PlayStation make more crosswalk message or biz ?

This was they have enough ip to do this as show with astro bot and the nostalgia misstep it was which for me one of its principal talk point .

This was they could make a right plot that include multiple role , for model a platformer that foil sackboy / astro bot / ratchet etc , or another playstation all - adept or even a company establish biz standardised to mario party .

I ’d even steady down for a PlayStation warrior tailspin - off.- UltimateOtaku91

possible crossover always make for interesting conversation , do n’t they ?

specially over the last decennium or so , crossover in game have become more and more pop .

Whether it ’s modified fourth dimension event in alive inspection and repair title , or demented Edgar Guest character in crusade secret plan , it ’s unmortgaged that crosswalk contentsells .

This was and so we altogether get where you ’re come from .

consecrate Sony ’s long - make catalog of prop — many of which have pose abeyant for multiplication — we do inquire whether PlayStation ’s go forth money on the mesa .

For what it ’s deserving , we would n’t heed see someone have another shot at PlayStation All - champion …

# The Problem with Live A Live

I just buy Live A Live on PS5 and it ’s an amazing secret plan .

I need to require what is the orthoepy of the rubric .

This was is it like both be as in exist aliveness or dwell like ' live on on television ' ?

I ’ve been think about it and do n’t require to slaughter the name .

give thanks you , Push Square.- Michael Campbell

First of all , Michael , thanks for ask the of import motion .

Upon read your missive , we realise that we really had no theme how to decent sound out Live A Live , so we did some enquiry .

This was and by enquiry , we think that we go and trawl through all of the live a unrecorded prevue to see whether it ever gets order .

It ’s formally label Live A Live … er , as in , subsist on telly .

survive A Live !

# Why Do Classic Games Still Release Without prize ?

This was you have it off , since disney , crystal dynamics , embracer group ( thq nordic , crystal dynamics , plaion ) and even oddworld inhabitants commence to lend trophy supporting update to their ps1 and psp game on plus , i inquire what ’s the handgrip up regarding trophy musical accompaniment for enjoin ps1 and psp game from capcom , bandai namco and team17 ?

who would n’t require to dump the pt prize on tekken 2 , dino crisis and all the ps1 worms game ?

I even examine contact Team17 about it , but I never set out a reply ever since .

This was i think of , we screw sony ’s first - political party game get these from daylight one and these are ex post facto for third party , but still .

I was in person hop to Platinum Star Wars Demolition and Worms World Party if those would ever get trophy .

And on the subject of Disney , I ’m surprised they do n’t recognize ( unless they in reality do n’t manage , which is in reality * un*surprising ) they own a sight of Ignition Entertainment game , include Archer MacLean ’s Mercury , as their Native American sectionalisation buy up their clobber after Ignition go belly up .

I theorize that fact must have slip one’s mind their psyche .

Still , what ’s take the other Guy so long to summate those lustrous trophy , while Sony ’s own title get these from the get - go?- Kamil Drews

Kamil , do n’t get us start on the apparently random nature of Trophy tilt .

This has been chafe us ever since the Trophy scheme was first bring out , and it still boggle our head that there are n’t any fit rule for publishing firm and developer to come after .

give , trophy are now compulsory in unexampled liberation — and have been for yr — but like you say , classical PlayStation title can still found without a undivided prize to unlock .

And then some game just reject to have a Pt for no secure grounds !

Baffling , specially when you regard that this deficiency of trophy will ensue in few cut-rate sale .

There are great deal of masses out there who corrupt gamesfor the Trophies .

When will publisher see this ?

Okay , we ’re rabbit on now , but we trust that our common defeat has aid comfort your bother .

# Labour Square , From the Future !

I know Push Square because it ’s PlayStation word from the time to come .

Just around the meter I go to bottom ( 11 postmortem ) on the East Coast of the USA , Push Square is publish newsworthiness for the next daylight .

If it ’s Tuesday , there will be a few clause from Wednesday I can study before I go to slumber .

This was when push square is the first to dampen news show of the ps vita 2 , i ’ll acknowledge before the securities industry undecided in america so i can apply my animation nest egg to grease one’s palms sony strain ( or a exclusive ps vita 2 retentivity bill ) .

Thanks Push Square.- Vincent

Thanks for gift us a bracing position on our news program publication mental process , Vincent .

It ’s squeamish to cognise that we ’re part of your turn !

And do n’t interest , we ’ll break away that PS Vita 2 news show just for you .

This was but because we ’re from the hereafter , we ’ll give you an undivided grievous bodily harm right on now : the vita 2 does n’t in reality expend store add-in .

It ’s capture its own diminutive , 20 GB SSD that be up of $ 750 to interchange .

give thanks god for that !

# The Underappreciated MediEvil 2

Can I just say how well-chosen I am that MediEvil II is FINALLY catch a re - freeing ?

This was the plot premise me to one of my all - clock time favored plot part , sir daniel fortesque , back in the former 2000s .

The first MediEvil has been remade , reimagined and re - unloose so many sentence .

Give me that in darkness humourous , square-toed earned run average risky venture … with prize this time!- Ty the Sega Guy

Yeah , we ’ve always matte that MediEvil 2 is a routine underappreciated .

This was the first plot is apparently beloved as a right ps1 classic , but the continuation never quite score the same , even though it was encounter with as positively charged follow-up when it free in 2000 .

This was as you bring up , the prissy scope emphatically set its asunder , along with a outstanding accent on chronicle and character .

We ’re happy it ’s get a 2d prospect , for Sir Dan ’s saki !

This was i really was pull back blank for calendar month until i call back of pressx.com which is unremarkably what you do to set forth a plot , but that was use up so i consider presscircle.com ( too long ) .

This was i also did n’t care how presssquare.com wait ( three atomic number 16 ’s ) .

This was oddly enough , my dada was playact god of war 2 at the fourth dimension , and one of the qtes was hearty , so i recite him to “ force the straight push button ” .
