Playa Vista sounds like the perfect place for them to start making some PlayStation Vita games. Just sayin’…
General News
- It turns out that video chronicling life at Sony Santa Monica is outdated as the developer will be moving their studio a few miles south to Playa Vista. Don’t worry, the name ‘Sony Santa Monica’ will stay, and this new building “dramatically increases the size of our open floor plan.” Their new digs will also have a state-of-the-art recording studio and cutting-edge motion capture facility, which will be used by Naughty Dog as well.

- With Octodad: Dadliest Catch set to release on PS4 in March, Young Horses has confirmed that it will support drop-in, drop-out local co-op for 2-4 players, with each person controlling a set of limbs. Although there won’t be online co-op, you can also expect a 4-player Roulette mode where the body part you’re controlling will be randomly switched after completing an objective. [Source]
- According to Omelete’s sources, The Last of Us 2 is already in development and will be released in 2015 for the PlayStation 4. Since The Last of Us hasn’t even been out for a year and the Left Behind DLC is still forthcoming, this seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened, right? When reached for comment Sony said, “We do not comment on rumor or speculation.” [Via 1, 2]
- Speaking of The Last of Us, Jawad Ashraf of the EU PlayStation Store team said Left Behind would “support pre-load.” If true, you’ll be able to download the file before release on February 14th and have it unlock when it’s officially released. [Source]

- BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma will be out in less than two months, and Aksys has announced that pre-ordering the game from Amazon or GameStop will get you a free DLC code for Yuuki Terumi. [Source]
