Hi PlayStation Blog readers – my name is Roberto and I’m new here. You may see me a bit more in the future as I manage PlayStation EU’s social spaces, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and any others we may add in future. Fred has kindly let me come on here, say hi, and tell you about something we’re working on for E3. Thanks Fred!

First of all, I wanted to let you all know that we have some big plans for our social spaces, so do stick with us. And if you currently follow us on Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else, please keep letting us know what you like and what you don’t like – it really helps us improve. We want to make our social spaces as engaging, fun and visual as possible, and we’ll be testing all sorts of things in the future to ensure we pull that off.

With the annual E3 show just around the corner, we’ve been thinking about how we can best tell the story of the week to our fans. With it being such a visual event, we thought that one of the best ways we could do that is with Instagram.

Ahoy there, one and all. Fred here with your weekly glance over the shoulder at the week that was. I think ‘quality not quantity’ is an accurate summation of PS Blog’s output over the last seven days. While it was certainly quieter than usual, there was a fistful of very pleasing announcements. My highlights? A new behind-the-scenes video for the thoroughly charming Diggs Nightcrawler, a look at Watch_Dogs on PS4, and a first glimpse at the brilliantly bonkers Men’s Room Mayhem on PS Vita.

Also, a quick reminder to check out our limited-time flash sale on brilliant PSN adventure The Unfinished Swan. It’s a steal at 50% off.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow. We’ve a busy week in the offing, with some intriguing game announcements planned. On that note, back to Soul Sacrifice!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve been on PlayStation Blog. To reintroduce myself, I am the vice president of publisher and developer relations for SCEA, which is a fancy way of saying that I’m working day-in and day-out with my team here to get the world’s best and brightest developers to bring their great gaming experiences to all of our PlayStation platforms.

Since my last post, I’ve joined SCEA and expanded the incredible team that focuses on fostering relationships with publishers and developers that share our goal of bringing the best games to you, the PlayStation community. With that said, the publisher and developer relations team has exciting news to deliver tonight.

During this year’s Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco, our team has put a strong focus on independent game developers. This evening, we collaborated with the PlayStation Network team to host a PlayStation Indie Arcade event, where we gave hands-on demos for more than 25 indie games that are coming to all PlayStation platforms. Our goal is to continue to work with the independent developer community to provide fantastic games you can’t find anywhere else.

Good morning all. Any sore heads out there? I do hope everyone enjoyed their celebrations. Of course, today sees the dawning of a brand new year, and one that is ripe with tantalising prospects for gamers.

So, before we properly kick off another year of PlayStation Blogging next week, it seemed like a good opportunity to look ahead and pick out a few of the most exciting releases on the horizon for both PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.

You’ll be hearing much, much more on all these titles in the coming months here on PlayStation Blog. In the meantime, feel free to start salivating…
