The PS2-on-PS4 library adds another game this week. Sony has announced that Hot Shots Tennis, which originally came out a decade ago, will enter the library when the PlayStation Store refreshes this week.

Hot Shots Tennis was developed by Japanese studio Clap Hanz, which also made the Hot Shots Golf series. The game offers “true tennis gameplay,” as well as matches for up to four players.

There are currently 30+ titles in the PS2-on-PS4 library, including a number of Rockstar Games-developed titles like Bully, Grand Theft Auto III, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Other PS2-on-PS4 games include Twisted Metal: Black, Psychonauts, and Star Wars Bounty Hunter.

Hot Shots Tennis should be available when the PlayStation Store refreshes for the week on Tuesday, September 13.

The game was originally released in 2006 in Japan and 2007 in North America. GameSpot’s Hot Shots Tennis review scored the game a 5/10 back then.

As expected, a demo for FIFA 17 will launch on September 13 across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, EA Sports has officially announced.

In a blog post, EA Sports explained what’s included in the demo, starting off with a “select experience” from FIFA 17’s intriguing-looking “The Journey” mode. For the demo, you’ll fill the shoes of rising star Alex Hunter and can play through a portion of The Journey as Manchester United.

Also featured in the demo is the Kick Off mode, of course, which lets you play matches quickly. While matches are loading, you can play new skill games; there are four new single-player skill games and three new multiplayer ones.

In terms of teams, there are twelve clubs from around the world playable in Kick Off. These include:

• Manchester United
• Manchester City
• Chelsea
• Real Madrid
• Juventus
• Inter
• Paris Saint-Germain
• Olympique Lyonnais
• Seattle Sounders
• Bayern München
• Tigres U.A.N.L. (MX)
• Gamba Osaka

There are three stadiums featured in the demo: CenturyLink, Stamford Bridge, and Suita City Football Stadium.

Another thing to note is that while FIFA 17’s demo will also be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game’s The Journey mode and some other Frosbite engine features are only on new-gen consoles and PC.

FIFA 17 officially launches on September 27. In other news about the game, for the first time in years, Lionel Messi is no longer the game’s top-rated player.

If you can’t wait to play a new soccer game, there’s currently a demo out right now for Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2017.

Colin Trevorrow’s Jurassic World stands as the fourth biggest movie of all time, and inevitably sequels are on the way. It was rumoured last year that Universal was planning a trilogy of movies, and this has been confirmed by director Juan Antonio Bayona, who is helming the second of the three films.

As reported by LRM Online, Bayona revealed at the Toronto International Film Festival that his film would form the middle part of a trilogy. “The whole Jurassic World is a trilogy that Colin Trevorrow has envisioned,” he said. “We’re writing the second chapter, and it’s very interesting where he’s leading the story.

“I grew up watching Steven Spielberg movies and I love those movies and the legacy, so it’s a question of being truthful to the legacy and at the same time, bringing new stuff that people will appreciate. We are still six months ahead of shooting, and so far, so good. It’s very exciting right now.”

Last year, Trevorrow gave a few early hints as to what fans could expect from Jurassic World 2. “It will get to be a different kind of film,” he told the Jurassic Cast Podcast. “The audience has given us permission to a certain extent to take this to the next level, and I don’t necessarily mean in scale, I feel very strongly that it’s not about more dinosaurs or bigger and better dinosaurs, it’s about using this as a starting point for a much larger story about our relationship with these animals.

“Jurassic World was very much made with the fans in mind, and I’m not going to forget it, but now we’ve seen a lot of ‘dinosaurs chasing people around on an island’ movies. I think you guys and also the general audience is going to be down to explore where else we can go.”

Jurassic World 2 is set to hit theaters on June 22, 2018.
