In an otherwise slow news day for PlayStation, with the Xbox One getting pretty much all the attention, we still managed to pick up a few pieces of information to justify bringing you The Catch-Up for an unprecedented 6th day in a row.
General News
- Curve Studios (Thomas Was Alone, Lone Survivor on PlayStation) announced that they think Microsoft “refusing to concentrate on easier submissions and discoverability leaves the way clear for Sony to capture the most innovative market in gaming right now.” They also seemed to reveal that Thomas Was Alone has already reached 200,000 sales on the PSN.
- Pool Nation launched on the PS3 in Europe today, with the developers saying that it’s “PS3 only at the moment – but we have been experimenting with balls on Vita version….”
- According to Amazon, Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! will be $49.99 and is launching on November 12th.
- Amazon France added a listing for a Beyond: Two Souls PlayStation 3 bundle scheduled for launch day. The Soul Sacrifice PS Vita bundle Amazon France currently has listed isn’t valid in North America, so we’ll have to wait and see if this is true.

- When Tearaway hits the PSN in North America, you’ll receive the pre-order bonuses for free. No confirmation yet for Europe.
