• NEWS: On February 20th 2013, that’s later this month, Sony is hosting what they’re calling the 2013 PlayStating Meeting. There’s a website of sorts here. We usually don’t like jumping the gun, but all signs point to this being the grand revealing of the PlayStation 4. Why? Well, outside of regular rumours indicating Sony (and Microsoft) would be revealing their systems prior to E3 2013 in June, the last time Sony held a PlayStation Meeting it was to blow the lid off the PlayStation Vita. Hardware, games, applications: the works. If history is to repeat, and there’s no reason to believe it wont, this year’s PlayStation Meeting will follow suit with Sony’s next generation system. Get excited! And check out the brief teaser video below.

• NEWS: First Devil May Cry, and now Resident Evil? Speaking with Eurogamer, Capcom’s Masachika Kwata, producer of Resident Evil: Revelations, has stated that a reboot for the Resident Evil series is always a possibility. The producer emphasised the need to preserve the core components that Resident Evil fans enjoy, along with shaping the formula to be more appealing to new gamers. And in his personal opinion, he would not be opposed with a reboot taking on open world qualities.
