<i>Twisted Metal</i> Bringing The Love With Valentine’s Day Release

By Adam Rosenberg August 25, 2011

Eat Sleep Play’s David Jaffe recently confirmed that Twisted Metal for the PlayStation 3 was being delayed past the end of this year and into parts unknown. Jaffe published an update today on the PlayStation Blog to confirm the now-official release date: February 14, 2012. Also known as Valentine’s Day. Show someone you love them by running them over and shooting them with rockets.

You can see Jaffe’s reveal in the above video, in which he is perfectly framed by a chintzy V-Day heart. There’s also the briefest of glimpses at a soon-to-launch new trailer for Twisted Metal, so you’ve got more to see there than redundant confirmation of the facts I just laid out for you. He says the trailer is coming sometime “this week,” but seeing as it’s already Thursday, we’ll forgive him if it turns out to be next week.

PS5 Pro: news, rumored release date, price, and specs

A PS5 standing on a table, with purple lights around it.

Rumors are running rampant about a supposed PlayStation 5 Pro, or PS5 Pro for short. Just like we got a mid-generation upgrade with the PS4 Pro during the last console cycle, many people are expecting PlayStation to release an incrementally more powerful machine to bridge the gap between the launch unit and an eventual PlayStation 6. Leaks have been coming out from some fairly credible sources, with a lot of juicy and very specific details about what a hypothetical PS5 Pro could look like. As credible as these sources may be, we do still need to take everything we see with some skepticism until Sony officially confirms that this system even exists. Until then, here are all the rumors out there regarding the PS5 Pro.
Rumored release window

A constant release window that all leaks have pointed to is sometime in Fall of 2024. That's right around the corner, probably in the September through November range, meaning we should be getting an official announcement on the console if that is indeed the plan. It appears that PS5 Pro dev kits are now in the hands of more developers, who have been asked that PS5 Pro-enhanced games be submitted for certification in August. These developments point toward a 2024 release.
