Hello, my name is Tom. I’ve been playing games for almost all of my life, and I started writing my own when I was a kid. I spent 11 years at Pixar making characters for animated films (Finding Nemo, Cars, Up, and a few more), and then four years at Bungie making characters and cinematics for Destiny. And now I’ve started a Virtual Reality company to take two things that I love — movies and games — and blend them into something new.

At GDC this year we’re showing Gary the Gull — a Virtual Reality “interactive movie.” It tells a story like a movie, but it’s interactive like a game. You start on a beach with a cooler full of tasty food in front of you, and because it’s in Virtual Reality it looks and feels like you’re actually there.

Then a seagull lands next to you — and starts talking! You can respond to him — you can talk back, answer his questions by nodding or shaking your head, or just ignore him. He tries to distract you by making you look away, and if you lean in too close...

Starting today, we’re launching a new PlayStation Video app for Android phones and tablets that will let you stream previously purchased video content from PlayStation Store to your Android device. With the app, you can also purchase your favorite movies and TV shows, including PlayStation original content like Powers, straight from your phone or tablet.



Also be sure to check out The Hateful Eight, Concussion, and Point Break, which will be available for purchase later today!

We hope you enjoy the PS Video app on your Android device and remember to check the app regularly for upcoming promotions on movies and TV shows.

A failed mission of peace and a shipwrecked sailor. An island, shrouded in fog, conceals the horrors that dwell below. A field of corpses crunch underneath the footsteps of a hulking goliath. Salt and Sanctuary launches today, and what a journey it has been.

Salt and Sanctuary began with a pretty simple idea: how would Dark Souls play if it was reimagined in our 2D hand-drawn action style? It’s not an uncommon idea. In fact, half a dozen other indie studios are working on their own visions for Indie Souls, and they all look fantastic (Shoutout to Eitr, Death’s Gambit, Darkmaus, and Ghost Song!).



There’s just something about Dark Souls that triggers a special nerve in the indie dev brain — the delicious obscurity, the interplay between crunchy stats and...

With Spring right around the corner and Opening Day approaching we couldn’t be happier to announce that R.B.I. Baseball is back on PS4 for its 3rd installment, and for the first time ever you will be able to purchase the game at participating retailers in US and Canada. You can download your digital copy on March 29th or pick up your physical retail copy on April 5th.

You may have heard back in January that Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts will be the cover athlete for R.B.I. Baseball 16. Today we are announcing that exclusively in Canada, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman will be featured on the game’s cover.

We are also stoked that R.B.I. 16 will make its digital download debut in more than double the regions including in European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.

So what...

Xing: The Land Beyond is the PlayStation VR game that will make you never* want to take off your headset.**



Xing: The Land Beyond in Virtual Reality

In our previous PlayStation.Blog post, we outlined how Xing: The Land Beyond is a go-at-your-own-pace puzzle-adventure game. This play style works great in VR, as you can really take your time to soak everything in.

We are always designing with VR in mind: from the way players interact with objects, to the scale and atmosphere of each level, to the overall menu construction. Each of the puzzles is thoughtfully integrated into the environment surrounding it, which helps to make everything flow nicely together.

Risk, Reward, Focus, Oh Lord!

ADHD is an arcade-like score chasing shooter centered on two themes: risk and focus. The challenge comes not only from controlling two ships simultaneously but from the player’s ability to focus on his score and deciding if it’s best to stay in and risk losing everything or leave...

So who’s sitting with baited breath eagerly awaiting the PlayStation’s VR event tomorrow? I know we are! From the reveal of Project Morpheus to the unveiling of PlayStation VR, we feel like virtual reality has been in the news for a while (We announced Battlezone nearly 10 months ago — I can’t believe it!), but only now are players starting to see what kind of complete game experiences they’ll be getting in virtual reality.

And now it’s Battlezone’s turn to show what it’s made of!

We’ve chatted about it a little before on PlayStation.Blog, but it’s probably worth repeating that yes, there’s a sizeable single-player campaign at the heart of the Battlezone, but there’s also something a little bit different going on underneath…

Today we’re showing off a new campaign trailer that gives you lovely, sweeping views of some new levels we’ve been working on, including a stunning night-time arena, glowing industrial environments, windswept ice wastes, and a heavily updated version...
