Took long enough. Sony, like Nintendo have some IPs that would translate well for the mobile market. Its nice to see them finally put in some effort.
for the (mobile) players

In Japan. Evo's shuttering sucks but I somehow doubt they're related.
So I guess we now know why Atsushi Morita was left off the exec list when the SIE restructuring was announced.
Edit: Oops, I fed the troll, didn't I? What a post history.
That service was terrible, unmonitored and allowed a bunch of buggy games and shovelware to take up space of actual good games. Hopefully this one is better!

I literally just finished playing Run Sackboy Run a few seconds ago.
It's a really simple Endless Runner with almost no variety but you can unlock costumes for LBP3 in it.
I only have the last one left. I was hoping I could get them from Daily chests just for starting up the App but it doesn't seem to give out the special stickers needed for the costumes.

Woo can't wait for f2p Clash of Clans/Game of War derivatives of their current games:
World of Killzone
Clash of God of War
Uncharted Slots
Little Big Clans
Also, I am genuinely surprised there hasn't been a f2p Uncharted endless runner on ios. Sonic has one. So does Raymond, Lara Croft and Sackboy. Even Dark Souls has one now.

the convo on the latest bombcast about how there are entire generations of young people who not only don't play console games, but actively avoid them and view them as some sort of interactive dad-rock, was sad but also rings true. It's smart for Sony and Nintendo to divert some resources to attract the attention of this segment of the market. They absolutely need to go where the audiences are (iOS and Android) though and not try to launch their own service like PS Mobile.

Close a AAA studio and open a mobile studio...

Remember Playstation All-Stars Island? I'm sorry Coke Zero Playstation All-Stars.

Pretty sure Evo had been scaled back as small studio for "service as model" for Driveclub before it was closed
Gotta sacrifice something to give rise to Kojima.
Well they can't let Nintendo have the market for themselves am I right 😚
I think this is a smart move from Sony

God of War x Infinity Blade makes a lot of sense.
Litttle Big Planet could probably work as a gacha RPG or a Match 3 game.
Crash and Uncharted could both work as endless runners.
Killzone could probably make for a Boom Beach/Clash of Clans "strategy" game.

Patapon and Locoroco are perfect fit for mobile

Not a bad idea, but PlayStation doesn't have appealing gacha characters for the Asian market.
