Due to the support of 648 backers, independent publisher of video game books and magazines, 2 Old 4 Gaming, exceeded its initial goal and raised £10,600 to fully fund the production of RPM issue 3 on Kickstarter.
Issue 3 of RPM continues the journey of retro PlayStation nostalgia, dedicated to discontinued consoles and handhelds like PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, and PSVita, featuring Resident Evil series origins and interviews with developers like Jason Wilson of MediEvil.
Each issue includes reviews from the PS+ Classics Catalogue and relevant discussions on current gaming news. With plans for three issues per year, the magazine promises ad-free, 72-page A5 editions, with Issue 3 completed and Issue 4 already in the works, aiming for distribution by early may.
Kickstarter backers can expect digital copies upon fund clearance and physical copies shipped in May, with options for add-ons like DRM-free digital copies of previous publications and physical books.
International shipping is available with standard or tracked options, although customs fees may apply, and careful packaging ensures safe delivery.
