European News Wrap, August 17 - What Happened Today
Published on
Ahh, Humpday: you came and went with nary a bother but with a whole load of screens and videos. Come inside to marvel at the pretty images, some of them move as though alive. Spooky.
So, today we had some nice pieces back from gamescom with a feature on Carbine's new MMO, Wildstar, and an interview with Sony software boss, Shuhei Yoshida on all things PlayStation.
Starting the day off was the AU News Wrap and to end it later on, Steph will have her US News Wrap, which just leaves the small matter of the EU version to squeeze in between. Behold!

Seems a little unfair that some are competing for a cash prize when the rest of us can't even play it. *Sulks* - Silent Hill HD Collection to appear on Xbox 360, simultaneous release intended
Personally, I'd have liked the first game in there as well. Y'know, to round out the 'collection' bit of it - Silent Hill on Vita will be a top-down, multiplayer experience
