Treacherous Territories Come to The Last of Us Remastered Today - August 29, 2014

The Last of Us Remastered already contains all of the content that was released for the PS3 version, but today it’s the veil has been lifted in even more content being added to the online multiplayer Factions mode. The Treacherous Territories pack includes a number of new maps that player will have to fight, craft and survive their way through.

The good news for all players is that the pack is absolutely free; no strings attached, and that you can download it right now from the PlayStation store. It’s good to see that even a year on from the original release of the game the online is still being supported, hats off to you Naughty Dog.

The new maps that are included are as follows; Beach, which is aptly named for being a map that is a beach with a ship that has come ashore, no doubt a lot of fighting for the high ground will be there, while also sneaking through the caverns of the cliff faces.

Financial Plaza looks like a couple of the original maps made for factions, a small built up area littered with abandoned vehicles and building to flank the enemy team; at least it will give a player another map to figure out new strategies.

While it’s not been mentioned the other map packs did include some new trophies to obtain though with this pack only containing two maps it would seem if we got any it wouldn’t shake the world.

Don’t Starve Coming to PlayStation Vita Next Week - August 25, 2014

Today via the PlayStation blog, developer Klei Entertainment announced that Don’t Starve: Giant Edition will make its way to the Vita on September 2. The survival game which launched on PS4 a little over two months ago will be an exact replica and will include the Reign of Giants DLC.

Unfortunately for those who have played the PS4 version you won’t be able to cross-play. Co-founder of Klei, Jamie Cheng revealed “in order for us to get the game on Vita we had to rewrite a bunch of back end code to optimize it, because of this the saves are not compatible with the PS4.” While it’s a shame that there is no cross-play, the survival elements of the game keep the game fresh enough to play it across the two platforms. Don’t Starve: Giant Edition will cost $14.99 when it launches and as stated above will include the DLC which will add two new playable characters and giants.
