Why'd the PS3 Slim ditch the Spider-Man font? Kaz Hirai explains

Upcoming Rockstar games for PS4: Max Payne 2, Midnight Club 3, GTA Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories

A slew of ESRB ratings suggest Rockstar Games will bring several gaming classics to the PlayStation 4. As both a publisher and developer, Rockstar has a truly impressive back catalogue of games to play - although today's console players can't always find them on modern systems. Thankfully, a newly discovered set of ESRB ratings implies several PS2-era classics are heading over to the PlayStation 4.
