To be clear, I'm not pointing to Remote Play being at fault for the breach. It just revealed that my account was otherwise hacked and the primary had been set to another system. They got my info somehow. I've done all the password changes, etc, so I'm not going to dwell on that. That part is rectified. I'm just letting people here know HOW I found out about it so they can do the same and make sure they haven't been hacked. Doing some Google searches this appears to be happening and discovered by a fair number of other players since they activated Remote Play for PCs and Macs.

I see. I thought the concern was Remote Play, itself. In any case (and particularly since it sounds like we haven't determined the original cause of the breach), you ought to still check whether or not your credentials may have been involved in another unrelated hack. It could mean other potential headaches later on with other, more lucrative accounts (e.g. Amazon, Bank of America).

I regularly recommend to my friends and contacts that they never reuse passwords. Use a password manager so that every account has a uniquely generated password.

And yes, I agree that Sony (and any company that deals with consumer financial information) needs to implement some form of 2FA/TOTP.

Point taken. I just figured after the big kerfuffle with the data breach a while back they'd have put some fixes in place.

The closed beta for upcoming NIS game Grand Kingdom will be May 3-9 (same as Overwatch).
You can sign up to get a beta key here.

It's going to be cross-platform PS4 and Vita, but the beta is PS4-only.
Beta saves will transfer to the full version PS4 game, but saves are not cross-platform, so no porting your beta save to a Vita.

Went to check the blog to see if there was a release post up and caught this instead: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/04/19/pyre-on-ps4-revealed-from-the-creators-of-transistor-and-bastion/

Pyre is a new game by the Bastion and Transistor devs, due out next year, but given their track record and such it'll probably be good with a great soundtrack.

On a whim I dropped $2 on PieceFall and I'm solidly enjoying it. It's basically 3D tetris as a one-depth puzzle game where you get a specific set of Tetris pieces and a gameboard and have to square it up. While it takes a few to get used to their limited and focused rotation controls, it's easy to just lay back and try and think your way to a solution. No big failure penalties and mostly just chill out atmosphere.

For a few bucks it's been great.

Yes, there will never be a good sale on pan. It's been like two whole weeks since they had some interesting deals so surely this is a sign that Sony now hates us and will never put anything but GTA, Atlus games, Assassins Creed games and COD games on sale again.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

Huge EU sale, some 170ish games for PS4, PS3 and Vita. Includes good poo poo like Firewatch and Life is Strange. The latest Senran Kagura is only on sale for Vita, not for PS4 for some reason; most other multiplats are on sale on all platforms.

The Last Blade 2 is coming to PS4/Vita, comes with new characters, online, cross-play.

This is amazing news.

Edit: Just to be clear, there are no new characters; the article was talking about its differences from the first game. It's probably a copy-pasted blurb they took from some promotional materials.
