When creating Cyberpunk 2077's vast open world of Night City, it turns out that developer CD Projekt Red was faced with a "significant challenge" when it came to "adjusting to the scale and characteristics of American settings," simply because most of the team is European.
Someone Is Selling 2006's PlayStation Experience Truck For $70,000
16.04.2024 - 07:37 / thegamer.com
The year is 2006. PlayStation's first handheld console, the PSP, is a few months old and you want to know what it feels like to play before you buy one. Lucky for you, the PlayStation Experience trailer is in town, and you can pop by to try out the PSP and play the latest games on it and the PS2. Fast forward 18 years and not only is the PlayStation Experience back, but it can be in any town you want it to be, whenever you want, as someone is selling it for $70,000.
Spotted by Reddit user ArguingMaster, and reported by IGN, someone called Arthur Vandelay has listed the PlayStation Experience trailer on Facebook Marketplace. While there isn't a treasure trove of PS2s and PSPs locked away inside, the trailer still has all of the PlayStation branding printed on its exterior that it had for its final tour more than a decade and a half ago. That includes images of the PSP with ATV Offroad Fury 4 on their screens. When's that classic getting a remaster?
The seller notes in the description that the trailer has been in storage for years so isn't in the best shape. The tires have rotted so will need to be replaced if you want to return the PlayStation Experience to its former glory and take it back out on the road. Everything else is in good working order though, including the hydraulics, hinged panels to open up the truck, and there's even a wheelchair lift. If you think it's worth $70,000, and you have that kind of money to spend, the trailer is still available.
The days of PlayStation and other studios touring the country to advertise their games have mostly been left in the past. Now if you want to try a game before you buy it, you can just play a demo rather than hope the PlayStation Experience is coming to a town near you so you can play it there. This particular trailer toured the US at the tail end of the PS2 era and was retired in 2006 so it could be replaced with a truck equipped with PS3s and the newer console's branding ready for its launch at the end of that year.
Outside of buying an 18-year-old trailer for $70,000 and then spending even more to restore it to its former glory, the closest thing to the PlayStation Experience you can have in 2024 is playing the platform's games in the comfort of your own home. If you have PS Plus Premium you have access to several PSP games included with your subscription, perhaps even some of the titles you played on a visit to the PlayStation Experience. More classic PlayStation games have been added to Plus's Premium tier today.
