Hello, PlayStation players! We here at Auroch Digital and Sold Out are excited to announce that our homebrewing simulator game, Brewmaster, will be coming to PlayStation in 2022. Play Video This is the first look at our new game, where you’ll be able to take control of the science behind the beer, and perfect authentic brewing techniques in the ultimate celebration of craft beer. At Auroch we specialise in games that connect to the real world. Lots of people on the Auroch team are foodies and craft beer fans, and our studio is based in Bristol which has a vibrant craft beer scene with amazing breweries to go with it. We’d been exploring brewing in our spare time, so making this game made so much sense to us. Brewmaster is for anyone with an interest in brewing, from complete beginners who wouldn’t know a hydrometer if it was sitting in their saucepan of wort, to seasoned beer aficionados who want to build their dream brewing space. This is the kind of game even non beer drinkers will enjoy. Brewmaster is about the process, not just the end result. Beer brewing is a fascinating subject and there’s so much that goes into making great beer. The real chemistry is quite nerdy but we really wanted to focus on making our game accessible to everyone, so while the simulation under the hood is complex, the way you interact with it is easily understandable, and as you play the game you’ll gradually be taught the more detailed elements of brewing. Something extra special about Brewmaster is that it’s an authentic game, built on a solid chemistry simulation, and our team’s deep understanding of real-life fermentation processes. Brewmaster takes care of the hard formulas behind the scenes, so you can focus on the fun aspects of making your own beer. Our chemistry simulation allows a lot of flexibility and creativity so you can make all kinds of beer. Brewmaster will have you playing around with the fundamental hops, grains, and yeasts as well as a range of other real-world ingredients for you to add into your brew. The game will include story-led Brewmaster mode which will teach you brewing techniques and a growing suite of beer styles as you become acquainted with an ever-expanding array of equipment. You’ll enter friendly competitions where you’ll build your prestige, reputation, and buy new items for your brewing space, creating your own relaxing hobby haven. You’ll progress from equipment that would fit on a kitchen table, to a luxurious brewer’s paradise. Or you can throw caution to the wind with the sandbox Creative mode, where everything is unlocked and you’re free to create whatever beers you can come up with from the get go. By playing through Brewmaster you’ll end up with a great understanding of brewing beer and knowing how to make your own dream beers. You can start off having never had a beer in your life, and by the end know how to brew a chocolatey Imperial Stout with a specific ABV, a gently hazy wheat beer, a malt-led traditional best, salty gose beer, or fruity lambic. In short, you’ll end up a Brewmaster. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/34j20lvdD3EView the full article

Hello! We are pleased to announce that today we are releasing Expeditions, a major update for No Man’s Sky, across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR. Play Video It’s barely been six weeks since we released our previous update Companions. This introduced pets, and we have loved watching PlayStation players adopt, ride, and forge relationships with a wide variety of weird and wonderful creatures they find in the universe. On planet, in the Nexus or on community missions, encountering and journeying with other travellers is now just as much about meeting their trusty sidekicks. And those creature friends are going to be good company for what we’ve got coming today in Expeditions. The Expeditions update introduces an all-new game mode, which will change each season. For the first time we will be starting all players together on the same planet and setting them off on a community expedition. Through the Expedition planner Travellers can embark on a series of milestones, each bringing new challenges… some are simple, others only the most dedicated will reach. Completed milestones unlock gorgeous mission patches to display, and a host of new content that can be accessed across all saves. If you are a returning player looking for a fresh start, an experienced explorer looking to recapture the awe of your first moments in No Man’s Sky, or a new player wishing to join in a huge community experience – then Expeditions should be a great place to jump in. An alternative to our four existing Normal, Creative, Survival, and Permadeath modes, it begins a series of community-focussed seasonal adventures and will expand, grow and surprise as seasons go on. In the coming weeks, completing the exploration goals unlocks unique rewards which players can take back into the other game modes. Rewards such as a cool new jetpack, an exclusive ship, weapon, a title are now available… and much, much more. Successful completion of each mission will also unlock one of a large collection of new iconic mission patches to show off. New expeditions drop players into the game with a collection of technology, customisation, new ships and weapons, providing a glimpse of some of the wild possibilities in the universe. At the end of the season existing expeditions will be converted to normal mode saves allowing play to continue. Expeditions brings a completely new way to explore the universe together, which will grow and expand just as No Man’s Sky does. Our journey continues. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/7P8ZQOtej24View the full article

My name is Clint Tasker, creative director and co-founder of Thorium, and I’m stoked to introduce Undermine to all you PlayStation fans. We heard you. We got all the “PS4 when?” tweets. And you know what? PlayStation now! That’s when! (Well… if now is March 30, otherwise March 30). Adding Undermine to the PlayStation library is a cathartic moment for me and my partner at Thorium, Derek Johnson. This game has allowed us to live our dream, and to express ourselves creatively, but it’s also come at great personal cost. The road of indie development is winding and full of potholes, so buckle up, I’m about to take you for a ride. Play Video Derek started Thorium back in 2015. He didn’t know he was making Undermine at the time, just that he wanted to do his own thing. Something he and I talked a lot about on our coffee breaks together at Relic Entertainment. Soon after starting Thorium, he lost his initial partner. The first of many bumps. Not long after that though he began working with an artist on a roguelike. Why a roguelike? “Because I won’t have to write a save/load system,” he said. A couple years later in 2018 I was growing exceptionally frustrated with my work and growing increasingly jealous of Derek and his indie dream. Undermine was just a core nugget of an idea, but it was a great nugget. So, I asked him if he wanted a hand, which he gladly accepted. I joined Thorium as a partner, and then proceeded to add all kinds of systems and features to the game that would very much need a save/load system. Sorry buddy, but the nugget needed more. We weren’t well known developers. We never led big, AAA projects, or had our names in headlines, so we really had to start from scratch. We built our community from nothing. In late 2018 we began showing Undermine to the public. First at PAX West and then at DreamHack Atlanta. It was really encouraging and a bit relieving. The game was bare bones, but was getting a really great response. Soon after though, we were struck with another huge blow. Creative differences with our artist led to him leaving the team. We were just a few months out from early access, and really behind on content. After some scrambling we managed to find a couple of great, new artists to work with, but we still went into early access with the absolute minimum amount of content we were comfortable with. You never want to launch in such a vulnerable position, but sometimes the variables stack up against you and there is no choice. Early access launch was a bit rocky, but fortunately for us the reception from players was fantastic. We smoothed out the technical issues and grew a sizable player base by releasing consistent and high quality updates. Fast forward a year and half and here we are. Undermine is complete (barring some additional content updates we want to add), and we have now self-published the game on PlayStation. It was a gauntlet, no doubt, and in retrospect it all feels very dreamlike. The hardships fade into the background, and the celebratory moments become more prominent. It’s easy to say now that it was all worth it, but it really was a hard road, and both Derek and I have gained a lot of experience. It’s opportunities like this where we want to thank our players, including all you new PlayStation players. It’s because of your support and your enthusiasm that we get to continue on this ride. Despite the twists, turns, and bumps it is incredibly rewarding and we really are living the dream. Thank you. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/h7nE55htaeQView the full article

Hello, people of the Fog! We’re excited to announce that Dead by Daylight’s new Chapter is now available, bringing with it a resilient new Survivor, Yun-Jin Lee, and a sadistic, flamboyant new Killer, The Trickster. Keep reading for a closer look at how one of the most unique Killers to ever join the Dead by Daylight roster came to life. The Trickster is a crazed pop-idol named Ji-Woon Hak and his thirst for fan adoration is only surpassed by his desire to kill in the most extravagant possible ways. On and off of the stage, Ji-Woon has a decadent personality and a giant ego. He sees both his music and his murders as high art, even going so far as to mix his victims’ screams into his own tracks. In order to create his look, we placed ourselves in the shoes of a K-Pop entertainment company and created a brand around this character. The goal was to make him stand out in our universe, while also standing apart from real industry idols. The K-Pop universe has an extensive palette – it can be lighthearted and bright, but also dark and edgy. We felt this gave us enough wiggle room to interpret what K-Pop meant in a DBD context. The Trickster’s main weapon “One thing we really wanted to push with the Trickster was his flamboyant style and his color palette. Being a performer and wanting to be under the spotlight, he’s all-in. He wants to be seen and he’s not trying to hide.” – Filip Ivanović, Art Director In The Trickster’s mind, he always performs for an adoring crowd which created fun opportunities for us to develop his personality. You’ll see him break the fourth wall and wink directly at the camera, for example. Ji-Woon is unique in that he isn’t a supernatural being, and he doesn’t wear a mask. He’s a killer that shows his real face, and he’s also the first to actually speak in-game! The Trickster’s knives visual exploration Gameplay-wise, The Trickster has some very interesting mechanics, including a new adrenaline-pumping perk called “Showstopper”. The player can quickly and accurately throw a flurry of sharp blades from a distance in order to take down a Survivor. As the Killer, you also have the choice to throw a single knife with greater precision or go all out and throw a lot of knives with great speed. We like to think of The Trickster as the machine gun of Dead by Daylight Killers, which makes him even more unique. The Trickster can refill his stock of knives using lockers “One of our challenges working on that specific Chapter was to make sure we remained authentic and true to the K-Pop identity. We immersed ourselves in the culture of K-Pop by watching, reading, and listening to everything we could put our hands on.” Dave Richard – Creative Director To guarantee that authenticity, we made sure to collaborate with industry insiders like K-Pop star Kevin Woo, famously known from the K-Pop band U-Kiss, and DJ Swivel, a Canadian music producer who has worked with groups such as BTS to make sure we stayed true to the world of K-Pop in everything we created. Even the Chapter’s name is deeply rooted in that universe as it refers to the moment when a song or album simultaneously reaches #1 on all eight K-Pop charts. The All-Kill Chapter in-game lobby Dead by Daylight is a universe where it is possible to transform diverse styles, stories, and themes into horror. The team is fantastic at taking on these types of challenges. The vibrant and highly polished aesthetic of K-Pop culture juxtaposed with Dead by Daylight’s sick grim world makes for an alluring combination. We saw it as an opportunity to expand the creative space within our universe. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/BW7onumco9cView the full article

We’re now into our second month of car-wrecking, platform-leaping action after PS5 exclusive Destruction AllStars made its debut on PlayStation Plus in February. We’ve witnessed first-hand (and been the cause of) the beautiful visual carnage that’s a metal-shredding headline of the game’s 16-player matches. We’ve watched tornados explode vehicles into a cascade of parts, seen superstars parkour around arenas and flow over fast-moving cars, and felt every shunt and crunch thanks to the DualSense wireless controller. To find out how this all came together, we spoke to its creators, developer Lucid Games and Sony xDev, who gave us a tour under the hood. Play Video PlayStation Blog: If you had to pinpoint one tech pillar as being the most critical for Destruction AllStars, what is it and why? Colin Berry [Game Director, Lucid Games]: For me, it’s the DualSense controller. It’s enabled us to do some really subtle and nuanced things. So we’re able to do directional haptics. When you get hit, you’ll see it, but importantly you’ll feel it as well. And we vary the weight of that hit; from big smashes to smaller, subtler scrapes. We put haptics on characters’ footsteps. You’ve got the sound effects, the little pitter patter coming out the speaker, and you’ve got the feeling of the feet. We were worried it’d be too much, as it’s continual. But when we took it out [during development] to test reactions. Everyone was asking what had happened, asking why they’d gone. It showed it worked; really nuanced, subtle. It’s like when you play a game with a character and there’s no shadows; they don’t feel connected to the world. Put a shadow in and they do. This is like the next step of that. And then the triggers let you feel when your vehicle’s damaged; the brake feels harder to use. When your vehicle is super damaged, you feel that on the accelerator as well. There’s no resistance when you first start driving. That’s deliberate: we found having resistance all the time was not pleasurable. John McLaughlin [Senior Producer, XDev]: [PS5] is great in terms of the GPU and CPU. That we can throw all these particles around, throw all these vehicle parts around at a very high resolution. We’re doing real time deformation on vehicles. It’s a good looking game, and I am a graphics man. But the DualSense controller is probably the biggest game changer. But I have to say, as a man of a certain age, who remembers consoles on cartridge and instant loading it feels great to be kind of back in that ballpark, where you can boot the game up, press the Cross button on the title screen, and then get in the game within a few seconds. It’s quite eye opening. And that’s not even going into detail on little things like Activity Cards. We use it in the [single player] Challenge Series, but we also use it online. If you want to switch from solo to team modes, you don’t have to be on the main menu. Activity Cards have encouraged me to go back to games when I normally wouldn’t have. It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out for our game and other games as well. PSB: Did your team speak with other Worldwide Studio developers during development to pool thoughts and ideas on using the DualSense controller? John: We had a chat with [Astro’s Playroom Creative Director] Nicolas Doucet. He’s always approachable, was always very helpful. He [and his team] were coming to the end of their dev cycle, because they were wrapping up a bit earlier. So we sent them a build over for them to take a look. They gave a tonne of hints and tips about where and how to use haptics, use it in conjunction with the speaker and the triggers and things like that. I think overall, we got a really compelling control scheme because of that. As Colin said, you really feel when it’s gone. Any match can have 16 players in the arena. That’s 16 characters and their vehicles, debris and the on-field dangers, event-style lighting and more. Can you touch upon the technical aspects of how the PS5 made this all happen? Colin: We’re very, very fortunate to have a bunch of technical programmers who know what they’re doing. We’re a physics-based game, non-deterministic physics. That means when you collide, things happen but you don’t know what they’ll be. It’s a hard thing to do. But it’s the best way to do this. We wouldn’t be able to do the amount of detail and fidelity in terms of the damage deformation systems without the extra bump that PS5 gives. Chad Wright [Technical Director]: Lots of CPU and super-fast memory. The PS5 really is a powerhouse and we thankfully haven’t had to compromise much on the initial ambitious goals we set out when designing Destruction AllStars. Core to the experience is the vehicle handling, which is extremely detailed and more complex than you might expect from a more “arcade” style of play, with realistic suspension and tyre-physics modelling that really accentuates the nuances in the grip, drift and feel of the vehicles. Responsiveness is key and we really needed to blend high-speed twitch-like reactions into what essentially is a vehicle brawler. Add to this the need to have highly-detailed damage modelling and collision interactions, with at times extreme deformation that isn’t just at the “render” level but actually feeds back into the visceral feel of the game – all while maintaining a high frame rate. The algorithmic cost of all this is high, but with so much CPU power and excellent data transfer speeds at our fingertips we’re able to distribute the physics simulation across multiple cores and do a lot of work in a comparatively small slice of time. The cars themselves are very highly detailed too, with many damageable parts that can rattle and flap about and detach on-impact. Being able to simulate all of this on top of everything else really adds to the gameplay experience, meaning the players can create some truly memorable moments of carnage with epic pile-ups, cars deforming and exploding into so many parts, wheels and doors bouncing off you as you plough through a field of opponents – we really wanted to create an interactive experience that felt real and wasn’t just smoke and mirrors – PS5 lets us do that. John: And you haven’t just got 16 vehicles. Each vehicle has 200 individual parts that can interact with the world as well. Multiply that by 16, then you add in the 16 complex skeletal characters, then you’ve got all the other cars that are dotted around the world that you need the player to jump into when their ride’s wrecked. So we’re actually doing a tonne of stuff. Then you have the arena with these big spinner blades that can chop cars into pieces and things like that. It’s doing quite a lot. We used Unreal Engine 4 for this game, by the way. That helped us get stuff running really quickly. But yeah, I think from a technical perspective, PS5 offers us a lot of what couldn’t be done on PS4 for sure. With so much happening on screen in a multiplayer game, what techniques are implemented to enable the game to run at a high frame rate? Chad: This is a very complex problem and there’s a lot we do here, but let’s focus on a couple in the rendering space. The PS5 has an impressive GPU architecture with a great many Compute units. We make full use of this by shifting complicated work that would be traditionally done in vertex and pixel shaders to these specialised Compute units. One area we do this is the visual damage modelling, with vertex deformation and the many layered cosmetic damage effects (scratches, dents, holes etc) being performed in Compute. This greatly reduces the load on the GPU and allows us to maintain a high level of fidelity in our damage representation without compromising model detail in other areas. Was the 16 player count, plus multiple vehicles your goal from the start, or did it organically come about when you saw what PS5 could do? John: No one knew what PS5 was. We just knew what was coming. So in XDev, we kicked off conversations with a view to have something around launch window. The question was: how good could destruction be on PS5? We started there: how good could damage be? And also: which team could we use? Lucid had a huge arcade heritage. There’s former Studio Liverpool folks, so you’re talking WipEout, F1. Former Bizarre Creations, so Project Gotham Metropolis. You’re talking WRC, Motorstorm, Driveclub. These guys knew cars. And at the start, all the conversation was about the destruction of cars. Then early on, someone asked: “how good would it be if you could get out of the car”? We didn’t want those drivers to just look like us. We wanted them to have abilities, so we started looking at parkour videos. Stunts in action movies. We wanted the player to feel really vulnerable when they were out of the car, but confident that they had abilities to do cool moves and get out of sticky situations. From that genesis came special abilities – flames, invisibility – all that. That then spawned talk about Hero vehicles. Colin: It was great using Unreal Engine 4. It just enabled us to get things up and running really quickly. Early on, we were able to try four player games. And it stayed that way for a long time. We knew there were going to be more characters, but four was enough to test things like the mechanics. Back during prototyping, we had a debug ability to spawn a car beside you. That shortcut ultimately became a core gameplay feature as your way to summon the Hero vehicles. One cool thing happened in development adding slow motion sequence in single player. Being able to see cars explode indirectly benefited the whole game. We could see and examine the smaller details, those 200, 300 parts of a vehicle, it’s interior, the character coming out of the wreck. That closer examination of the game’s model spurred our vehicle team to improve those interiors. The character team, they reworked animations. Introducing slow mo enhanced the game, raised the level of quality, the attention of detail. The stylish digital cloaking/glitching aesthetic on Shyft’s hero vehicle is very smooth. How is this achieved from a tech perspective? Chad: Through very talented VFX artists! But seriously, this is certainly a very cool effect and it’s harder than you might think to design an effect that renders something partially invisible while still retaining the look and feel of the thing you’re trying to hide. This particular effect is many layered and uses scene depth and colour buffers to keep it grounded in the world along with some very cool animated shader effects to achieve the final result. The interactive layer is particularly cool and adds a lot to it, with physical impacts and damage from other AllStars abilities causing the cloak to temporarily fail, blending between the base car material and the cloaking effect smoothly in real time. Blending between complex shader layers can be very intensive, but the graphical power of the PS5 makes stuff like this possible and really allows our talented artists to go to town and create truly stunning visuals. All the characters are incredibly well animated, super detailed, both in their intros and while battling it out in the arena. Can you talk a little bit about their creation? John: Our animation director Kristjan will be delighted to hear that. He’s former animation director at Ubisoft, who worked on Assassin’s Creed. So you can kind of see where the kind of level of detail and animation kind of comes from. We’ve done a lot of motion capture shoots. Down at [performance capture outfit] Audio Motion we got them to pull out the scaffolding; it’s been used for movies, but not a video game. So we are having performers leap from the top of this, like falling off a skyscraper. Lots of stunts, recreating the impact of cars and such. I don’t think people expected that [level of animation] from this type of game. It’s arcade action, but it’s got a level of polish that that you might expect from the likes of Naughty Dog and Santa Monica. I think we’re pushing the PS5 as hard as we can, as hard as we can at this point in time. Because as you know, as we continue to develop we learn more about the system. it’s exciting to see the level of graphical fidelity we’ve got now. But knowing where we’re going to go in the next few years is mind-blowing. Destruction AllStars is available now to PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS5 until April 5. From April 6 onwards, the game will be purchasable from PlayStation Store in both Standard and Digital Deluxe Editions. You will also be able to pick up a physical Blu-ray disc version of the game from April 7 onwards at selected retailers in selected markets. Please check your local store for pricing and availability. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/irMnRBYdQCwView the full article

Forget what you know about being a detective. That’s right, leave your trench coat and magnifying glass behind. We want you to invent your own detective in Disco Elysium – The Final Cut and give you the chance at the character creation screen. The game launches on PS5 and PS4 March 30. There are four attributes to take into consideration here: Intellect: brain power Psyche: emotional intelligence Physique: raw strength Motorics: agility Should you prioritize being smart? Or is it better to be physically tough? Perhaps both at the expense of social awareness? It’s not an easy decision to make, especially in a game like ours which cuts off certain options and opens up others based on your skill levels. If you find yourself overwhelmed, we’ve provided three archetypes so you don’t have to create a character from scratch. Each archetype provides a unique journey through Disco Elysium so it’s just a case of figuring out which you prefer. Thinker The defining attribute of the Thinker is having high Intellect. This means you could be good at connecting evidence, coming up with original ideas, and presenting arguments. If you plan on being a right little Sherlock then this is the best choice to make. If you do want to focus on solving the case, then increasing the Visual Calculus skill will help you draw conclusions from evidence in your surroundings. You can see this in action right at the start of the game inside the trashed hostel room you wake up in. Interact with the broken window in your room and you’ll be able to use Visual Calculus to figure out how the damage was caused. A neat graphic shows you that the shards went outwards which means the damage came from inside the room. Perhaps it was you who smashed it, then… In any case, you should be able to see how this will help you solve other mysteries. Sensitive Psyche is the main attribute of the Sensitive type. You could read people’s emotions, impose your authority on them, and get hunches and gut feelings. It’ll also expose you to Disco Elysium’s paranatural side so any fans of Twin Peaks should opt for this one. This archetype will help you connect with the citizens of Martinaise on all levels. Improve the Empathy skill and you’ll be able to learn more about their backgrounds and figure out what they’re choosing to not tell you. Similarly, the Esprit de Corps skill will tune you into copspeak so you can understand your partner better. This will come in handy. You’ll also benefit from having a high Suggestion skill early on when getting information out of Joyce Messier about the hanged man you’re investigating. Unfortunately, she insists on seeing your badge before she imparts her wisdom, but you probably don’t have it. Using Suggestion will let you strike a bargain with her instead – get her some info on the local drug trade, and she’ll share what she knows. Physical You’ll be championing Physique if you go with the Physical archetype. You could force your way into buildings, tune into the urban body to hear its secrets, and even shake off a cardiac arrest. If you prefer to act first and think later then this will be the best choice for you. You’ll benefit from this early on simply by being able to avoid death in some common places. For example, a lot of people die when trying to pull the tie off the ceiling fan at the start of the game. But with high Physique you get more health and should be able to survive, no problem. You can also make your way inside the Doomed Commercial Area early with high Physique. Head inside the bookstore opposite the entrance to the Whirling-in-Rags and you’ll see a curtain blocking your way. Ignore the petrified screams of the shop owner and pull the curtain back to find a warded door. With your high Physical Instrument skill you can bash that door down with minimal damage and enjoy exploring the area behind it. Hopefully this makes it easier to decide which kind of detective to play when Disco Elysium -The Final Cut arrives with a -20% launch discount on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 30, 2021. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/JXiH75YVEtQView the full article

The gateway to hell looms, friends. On March 29, Doom 3: VR Edition tears its way to PlayStation VR, and we here at Archiact can’t wait for you to finally get your hands on this reborn classic. As part of the Archiact x id Software connection that brought this mighty title to virtual reality (and major fans of Doom to boot) we’re giving you an inside look at Doom 3: VR Edition’s weapons, and all the juicy new features we’ve packed into these bad boys. Verify your age to view this content. Verify your age to view this content. In VR, your hands are usually the stars of the experience, but when it came to Doom 3, we knew the weapons would be the heroes of every single moment. By collaborating with our kick-ass partners at id Software, we painstakingly revisited each bit of your arsenal from every possible angle. Design, art, UI, even sound effects have all been upgraded! But first, let’s talk about the Aim Controller. Supporting the Aim (including left-handed mode) was a top priority for both us and id Software: with it, you can truly hold weapons like the BFG 9000, feel their weight in your hands, and wield them with brutal efficiency. Personally, using the Aim Controller quickly became my favorite way to dive into the demon free-for-all. Freedom of movement means you can move your weapons independently of your head, which adds fiendishly good immersion to iconic Doom 3 battles. Peek around a corner to pull a cheeky sneak-attack on an unsuspecting Z-Sec, duck your way past Wraith fireballs, and maybe, just maybe, find the perfect angle to make a Mancubus fly. Once you have Doom 3: VR Edition’s weapons in your hands, you’ll spot a few other new features. We peeled the player interface off the camera view and integrated it into the weapons themselves, making your ammo count easier to check in the heat of battle. Laser sights and a flashlight allow you to cut through the darkness—and all the enemies it hides. You can also just hang out on Mars and stare lovingly at your favourite weapon, like we do on our lunch breaks. From the Pistol’s new two-handed grip, to the low-slung Chain Gun on your hip, each piece has been subtly tweaked to better fit in your virtual grip, and mimic the physical sensation of wielding powerful machinery. And of course, since you’ll be seeing these classic weapons up close and personal, we had to make sure they’re looking (and sounding) fine as hell. Every weapon in the game has gotten a detailed overhaul, higher resolution textures (feast your eyes on every scratch and battle-worn notch!) and some chunky new sound effects. Every Shotgun blast, Grenade explosion, and Chainsaw rev now reverberates tangibly through the tight, underground spaces of Doom 3, placing you directly within the world and cranking immersion up to eleven. Refreshing Doom 3 and its arsenal has been a developer’s dream. To go from the early days of modding the original Doom, to adapting Doom 3 for the VR medium? You can’t make this stuff up! A huge thanks to our friends at id Software for helping us to make every weapon shine, and to you for reading all about it. We hope you check out the title when it comes out in just a few days and let us know what you think! Play Video Doom 3: VR Edition will be available on PS VR on March 29, including both campaign expansions and backwards compatibility on PS5. Let us know in the comments which iconic Doom weapon you’re itching to wield most. (Super Shotgun, right?) Verify your age to view this content.

This wasn’t my first motion capture rodeo. I strutted onto the motion capture volume armed with an impressive resume of motion capture and stunt coordination on some of the biggest games in the world. I fancied myself a black belt in mocap-jitsu, ready for anything. It was then that I discovered I was working on Demon’s Souls, a game that would require that this 20-year-stuntman relearn how to move. Creative Director Gavin Moore and Animation Director Chris Torres were tasked with executing the precise feel that gamers came to know from the original while also expanding upon it in innovative ways that remained true to the core gameplay. All the game’s original animations had to be motion captured, and I was their muse for the next year and a half. Motion capturing Demon’s Souls combat system was a very precise endeavor. The game’s attacks, navigation, dodges, and synced kills, or “ripostes,” had to be playable, true to the original’s, and aesthetically sound. If performed too quickly, the movements would lack clear arcs and silhouettes. Performed too slowly, they might lose their weight and inertia. Gavin directed the intention and technique, and Chris made sure the metrics were dead on. A navigation set for each of the 20 weapon classes had to be captured, including walks, runs, sprints, pivots, starts, stops, turns, and strafes, all done to a rhythmic metronome. These movements were combined into complex patterns that we called “dance cards.” Chris decided to capture the walks in the morning to warm up, build up to sprints, and when I gassed out in the afternoon we captured the “encumbered” movements. The first dance card took us an entire day to capture, but gradually we economized and could finish one in 70 minutes. When performing combat animations, each move has five stages: opening pose, anticipation (“antic”), attack, recovery, and end pose. Anticipations should match the attacks so that they can be anticipated by other players. Recoveries are short for light attacks, long for heavy ones. Being a Japanese game in spirit, the movement in Demon’s Souls is “pose-heavy.” Rather than performing brutal, character-infused attacks, Gavin directed me to be character-less and focus instead on final poses. Gavin and Chris took great pains to ensure the weight of the weapons could be felt by the player, which sometimes required using some seriously heavy prop weapons. The team was also tasked with re-capturing the civilian NPCs and cinematics. The revamped look and feel of this PS5 release required a totally different performance. Chris colored the world with its ground reflections, weather effects, and the look of the foliage, and Gavin would bring the world to life with acting notes like “the sound of distant church bells” and “the smell of a nearby stagnant moat,” without ever saying how to respond. He trusted the performers to react. As a motion capture performer, you’re in a white room, surrounded by infrared cameras, tasked with getting into a scene. Direction like this which is colorful, yet which trusts the talent, is exactly what a mocap performer needs. My role as stunt coordinator in Demon’s Souls included coordinating the opening cinematic, which includes a shot where the hero fights off eight enemies in a single, unbroken take. We enlisted some of Hollywood’s top stunt talent to execute this scene in two different setups. Gavin and Chris ensured the dark mood of the game could be felt in the performances. Verify your age to view this content. Verify your age to view this content. An exciting combat addition to Demon’s Souls is the several ripostes. These killing blows can be executed in front of or behind the enemy, with different flavors for each of the game’s weapon sets. For this we enlisted the help of Maggie Macdonald, who also performed the female protagonist’s move set, and executed dozens of ripostes together. For these, the goal was to maximize the weight and intensity of the movements to deliver a satisfying, killing blow. Verify your age to view this content. Verify your age to view this content. To achieve the level of animation detail that you’ll find in Demon’s Souls, motion capture with skilled professionals is crucial, but it’s only part of the equation. As stunt performers, when we’re fortunate enough to work on projects like these we’ll find ourselves paired with directors and animators who have an eye for action that can help us learn to move in new ways. And this was my favorite part of Demon’s Souls: by learning how to move in a new way, I came away with a new appreciation for Japanese action and animation, with its emphasis on poses and silhouettes that evolved over centuries of Kabuki theater. Learning to move in Demon’s Souls helped me see and understand movement in an entirely new way. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/1MA03-VKFB8View the full article

Hello! The team here at PM Studios are all very excited to announce that Hoa, our beautiful puzzle-platformer, is coming to PS5 and PS4 this July. Hoa features breathtaking hand-painted art, lovely music, and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere as you navigate the world with a keen eye to solve exploration-based puzzles. Experience the magic of nature and imagination as you play as the main character, Hoa, on her journey through heartwarming environments back to where it all began for her. The main character, Hoa, belongs to a tribe of fairies with the power of nurturing flora and fauna. The fairies create and maintain life and harmony on an island of magical plants and creatures. After a tragic event, Hoa was sent away as a baby, leaving her with no memories of who she is, or what happened. The game begins when Hoa returns to her homeland for the first time after many fairy years of being away. As she presses on, her fairy power breathes life back into the land, and wakes its residents up from their long slumber. The further Hoa goes, the more friends she makes, and the more she finds out about herself and her homeland. The journey, however, remains mysterious in its purpose, until it ends at the Land of the Spirits – a dreamlike realm where the back-story is finally unveiled. Hand-painted art Step into a painting that lives – explore a vast world of meticulously crafted sceneries of stunning hand-painted art. Outstanding original soundtrack Captivatingly story-telling and emotionally-charged Hoa’s score, originally composed and live-recorded, brings its world to life with a touch of nostalgia. Lovely creatures Keep an eye out for delightful magical creatures along the way. Most of them want to be friends, some might even tell you a little story or two. Cuteness guaranteed. This is all thanks to the wonderful development team at Skrollcat Studio. Skrollcat Studio was formed in 2019 by a group of five Vietnamese friends working and studying together in Singapore: Four of them (including the two founders Son Tung and Son Tra) graduated from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, with backgrounds ranging from Interactive Media to Digital Animation to Computer Engineering. Thanks to an open call to composers, they found their fifth member, Johannes Johansson, whose music very much rings the voice of the game. Before the studio formed, Tung and Tra had started discussing story ideas and making early pieces of concept art way back in 2017. They kept it as something of a hobby outside of their full time job and study, but the more they worked on it, the more it grew into something that has character – a life of its own. They turned Hoa into a serious project in 2019 after encouraging online reception of the original concept. Being a small young team with little experience and an ambitious project, the team tried to look for external help, and had the chance to collaborate with some amazing artists and outsourcing partners from around the world. One of them is Kyx Studio, who has provided amazing production support. DualSense wireless controller features For the PS5 version of Hoa, these DualSense controller improvements help to better imitate the immersive world around you: Hoa can fly for a limited time, which you activate with a press of R2. Thanks to the adaptive triggers, as Hoa gets closer to her flight energy being depleted, the trigger will be harder to pull. The DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback will mimic actions and events over the course of the game. You’ll hear the grass and trees rustling via the DualSense controller’s speaker. These DualSense features will provide a richer experience for every player on PS5 as they explore the world around them. Lastly, pre-orders for the PS5 and PS4 physical versions begin today at select retailers too! In the limited physical versions of the game, players can expect a voucher for the digital soundtrack as well as a postcard with a personal message from Hoa herself. As always, we want Hoa to be, if nothing else, a beautiful little game that warms your heart and is a humble reminder of the way the world awed you as a child. On behalf of both the development and publishing teams, we’re really looking forward to all of you trying it out for yourselves when the game launches this July! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/Br6Nc7ERGR4View the full article

A Ghost of Tsushima movie is in the works! The idea of translating our game into a new medium is exciting, and we’re intrigued by the possibilities. We’ve all been brought to tears in a movie theater surrounded by strangers. (Thanks a lot, E.T.) We’ve all gone to a movie on opening night when the crowd is so excited that they cheer as the lights go down. It’s a group experience that isn’t replicated anywhere else. To think that we could sit in the theater someday watching Jin Sakai up on the big screen is amazing. We’d all relive his tense transformation into the Ghost from a whole new vantage point. We are happy to partner with Sony Pictures to make this happen. And Jin is in very good hands with the film’s director. Chad Stahelski created something special with John Wick. His vision for what could be, backed up by years of experience, combined to create some of the finest action scenes ever created. If anyone could bring to life the razor-sharp tension of Jin’s katana combat, it’s Chad Stahelski. Also, I’m happy to say we’ve sold more than 6.5 million copies of Ghost of Tsushima now, and that roughly half of those people have made it all the way through the game. Can you believe that? That’s around 3.25 million times the digital Mongols have been kicked out of digital Tsushima. As a newly appointed ambassador for the real Island of Tsushima, I’d like to formally say- visit when it’s safe to, if you get a chance. The island is beautiful, the people are warm, and the history is all around you. If you’re very, very lucky you’ll spot a Tsushima Cat. Then later, when the Ghost of Tsushima movie comes out, you can tell your friends about how you’ve been to the beach where the Mongols landed. I know I speak for everyone at Sucker Punch by sending out a massive THANK YOU to Ghost fans. Your support for the game is what makes opportunities like a movie come true. It’s been a sincere pleasure checking out your photo-mode images posted online and fighting alongside you in Legends. We’re so happy to be on this ride with you. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/ZNkysqjYMlsView the full article

Welcome to the strangest, most whimsical, most fantastical musical show in town: Balan Wonderworld! The curtain is just about to lift as tomorrow, our humble show will be available worldwide for players of all ages to dive into. In Balan Wonderworld, you’ll play as Leo or Emma, two kids who are dealing with an imbalance of positive and negative emotions within their hearts. Beckoned into the magical realm of Wonderworld by the enigmatic maestro Balan, you’ll need to restore the balance to the hearts of twelve lost souls, and in doing so, hopefully recover balance in Leo or Emma’s heart, also. As soon as you step through the stage door and arrive on the Isle of Tims in Wonderworld, you’ll quickly discover that there are plenty of mysteries to unravel. Today, I wanted to share some of my top tips to help get you started on your way, along with revealing a couple secrets that the game has in store for you. It’s showtime! Your wardrobe is meant to be changed While the Isle of Tims is the true hub of the game, the Changing Room is your home away from home. You can access the Changing Room at any checkpoint, and handily, it stores all your spare costumes. The Changing Room is perfect for grabbing spare costumes as a buffer for your health, or for swapping your wardrobe around to solve a particular puzzle. Keep in mind that you may not be able to access all areas of a particular stage the first time you visit it. The Changing Room is key to exploring all there is once you’ve gathered more costumes from later stages. Tims are your new best friends These fluffy and colorful creatures are manifestations of positive emotions. They’re also your constant companions on your adventure to restore balance to the hearts of twelve lost souls. One thing to keep in mind is that the color of your Tims makes a difference, as Tims will have different abilities at their disposal based on this. For example, blue Tims can sometimes destroy objects shrouded in negativity (they’ll look pretty spiky), while pink Tims can sometimes bring items from someplace else to you. It’s also worth noting that you can bring up to one Tim with you into a stage by holding that Tim in your arms while you access the door to that particular stage. Be sure to keep an eye out for any eggs on your adventure, as you never know what color of Tims you may hatch. Try doling out the drops on all the flower patches! But it’s not enough just to keep an eye out for eggs—you also need to take care of the Tims you have. You can feed them the teardrop shaped drops you’ll find throughout the different stages. These will help your Tims grow, give them new attributes, and even change their color. You can feed your Tims by doling out drops on the colored flower patches on the Isle of Tims. Why not try giving out drops on each colored patch and see what happens? Each stage is a three-act production Your adventure in Wonderworld isn’t over after you reach the end of the game. Once you beat the game, when you return to the Isle of Tims you’ll see that you’ve unlocked an Act 3 for each chapter, giving you 12 new stages to tackle. Each Act 3 stage contains many brain-teasing puzzles—can you solve them all? There are additional costumes to discover in these Act 3 stages, so I hope you look forward to discovering all these stages have to offer. The gameplay difficulty will adjust to your skill level One of our goals for Balan Wonderworld was to create an accessible adventure for players of all ages and skill levels. To that end, we’ve created a system where the game can automatically adjust the difficulty of the stages through the number and types of Negati that appear, to either make the gameplay more challenging or a bit easier for you. You’ll receive a stamp on your results for a stage once you complete it. The color of the stamp is an indication of which difficulty level you completed that stage at, with red indicating the highest difficulty. Your rank is determined by various things, including how many times you’ve tackled that stage before and how many Negati you’ve defeated. If you revisit a stage that you previously cleared with a high rank, you’ll see that there are more Negati than there were before… And perhaps they look a bit different? You might also encounter some strange transparent Negati, but I’ll leave it up to you to uncover all the mysteries behind these Negati. Defeating Negati will help raise your rank, giving you the chance to see ‘abnormal’ Negati The inhabitants of Wonderworld speak their own language As you can probably tell, musical theatre was a huge inspiration for Balan Wonderworld. Show-stopping musical numbers aside, one of the aspects of musical theatre that we love is its universality. Musicals are enjoyed by people from all around the world, even if the song lyrics happen to be in another language. We wanted to bring that universality to Balan Wonderworld by telling stories without words. That’s why the characters speak a made-up language. We felt it was more important to tell these stories of hope, friendship, and regaining balance with vivid imagery, music, and a bit of costumed flourish than with any particular language. One of life’s greatest (and simplest) pleasures is the joy of discovery.

Aspiring alchemists, get ready to mark your calendar if you love couch co-op and party games. Potion Party comes to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on April 8. In Potion Party you are the owner of an alchemy shop. To satisfy your customers you need to brew and sell colorful potions. With the money you earn, expand your shop, and buy new tools, furniture, and characters. But wait, parties are better with friends! So get up to three other players together and have an awesome evening with this crazy and chaotic party game. Potion Types Customers want different types of potions. Potions differ by size and color. Need a green potion? Just mix a yellow and a blue. Need a black one? That requires you to prepare some coal. Building the shop When you start your shop, it will be empty and run down. It’s your task to add furniture, tools, and decorations to the store. Step by step, your shop will improve and provide more ways to create various potions. Each new stage introduces new items to use and challenges to overcome. Storage When you’re not actively helping a customer, use downtime to your advantage. Pre-produce some potions and put them in your storage area. The next time a customer needs one of these potions, you already have one at hand. You should also have some candy ready to make customers happy that need to wait a little longer. Especially when playing in co-op mode, managing your shop storage area is an important task to get customers served as quickly as possible. Defend against monsters Shortly after your shop opens, you will get unwanted visitors. Slimes, ghosts and thieves of different types will invade your store and try to stop your business. Each of them needs to be handled differently to get rid of them. Don’t let them take over your shop. Play with different characters You can unlock up to 12 different fantasy characters in the game. Each character has a unique special ability that makes them valuable for certain tasks. These abilities can also be leveled up to become stronger. When playing together, it’s best to assemble a team that complements each other. Have Mary sell the potions to the customer as she gains extra tips. Grifryt is best for brewing the potions as he can make them much faster than other characters. Zeph is a speedy allrounder that can get zoom from A to B to help out in the shop. Each character has roles that fit them best. Play together or against each other You can play the whole game alone and unlock all stages, items, and build up your store. However, you will have the most fun when playing with others. Play together with them in co-op mode and split up the tasks in your shop to get more potions sold in time. You can also compete with your friends in the unlockable versus mode. Two teams (one or two players each), will face off to become the potion masters. It’s all about getting the right potion ready before the other team does. Only the first team that sells the potion to the customer will score a point. Unlike other games, Potion Party focuses on simple controls. Everything is handled with a single action button. This makes the game super accessible. Just one button and one analog stick. Skill level shouldn’t hold anyone back from fulfilling their potion-making dreams. RP Games and FusionPlay Potion Party is developed by RP Games, and ported and published to PlayStation by FusionPlay. Both are based in Leipzig, Germany. FusionPlay and RP Games worked closely together when designing and testing game mechanics, balancing the game and optimizing it for PlayStation. We hope you and your crew have great chemistry when Potion Party hits PS5 and PS4 April 8. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/_0F2ysYatsMView the full article

Immortals Fenyx Rising – Myths of the Eastern Realm is out today on PS4 and PS5, letting players embark on an all-new DLC adventure inspired by Chinese mythology and led by the team at Ubisoft Chengdu. Focusing on a new hero – Ku, the last remaining human following a catastrophic event – the DLC unfolds in a new land of clouds and jagged mountain peaks, where players battle to help the goddess Nuwa pull reality back from falling into primordial chaos. Set against the backdrop of the classic Chinese myth Nuwa Mends the Heavens – in which Nuwa, the Chinese creator goddess, restores balance after a catastrophic war in Heaven – the DLC weaves together elements from the earliest period of Chinese mythology. As they explore the verdant, legendary land of Peng Lai and its rugged, arid neighbor Bu Zhou, players will discover a wide variety of environmental puzzles, formidable monsters, and elements of myths that have largely been unexplored in video games. Play Video Meet Ku, a formidable warrior and your new hero While he shares Fenyx’s whimsical, slightly naive outlook, Ku is a formidable warrior right out the gate. From the outset, he’s able to immediately wield a Jian sword, an axe, and a bow to wreck the DLC’s new monsters, using a new fighting style and combat inspired by Chinese martial arts. He can climb rocky cliffs with a hefty reserve of stamina; double-jump without wings (although he does get wings early on); and wield godly abilities like Pangu’s Strength, Yi’s Arrows, and Nuwa’s Agility, which strikes enemies as Ku dashes through them. Additionally, two of Ku’s powers – the Blades of Huang Di and the Axe of Yan Di, which can launch enemies with upward-thrusting blades and smash them with a giant axe, respectively – can unleash additional attacks as Ku charges up a new, three-tier God Seal combo meter. Get in enough uninterrupted strikes, and the Blades of Huang Di launch a flurry of whirling swords that target enemies directly, while the Axe of Yan Di generates devastating, fiery shockwaves on impact. New dungeons and puzzles await The DLC also features an assortment of new puzzle elements, including windmills that can turn to redirect their airflow, musical chimes that have to be struck in sequence, and morphing cubes that change their size and mass when struck. In the Ruins of Heaven – challenge-filled dungeons similar to the Vaults of Tartaros – Ku will also need to contend with new elements like rideable clouds, which are carried by air currents and dissipate if they hit obstacles; and air rings that Ku can telekinetically yank himself toward to keep up his momentum while gliding. How you can play it Immortals Fenyx Rising – Myths of the Eastern Realm is included with the Season Pass or available as a separate purchase. You can start playing the DLC even if you haven’t finished the main game. And if you haven’t yet grabbed the Season Pass or the main game, both are included with the Gold Edition, which is on offer from now until March 31 as part of PlayStation’s Mega March promotion. The Season Pass also unlocks the first DLC, Immortals Fenyx Rising – A New God, in which Fenyx faces a gauntlet of new challenges, built by the Greek gods themselves, on a quest to officially join the Pantheon; and will later grant access to Immortals Fenyx Rising – The Lost Gods, in which players will take up the mantle of a new champion with brawler-style gameplay, coming soon. There’s a lot of puzzles to solve and plenty of monsters to fight, so strap on those wings and get ready to do some damage. If you’d rather get a sample first, you can grab the free Immortals Fenyx Rising demo on PS4 and PS5, which features an exclusive adventure and area not included in the main game. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/g9X0LZng9w4View the full article

Hi everyone! We are thrilled to debut the latest trailer for Smelter and announce it’s coming to PlayStation 4 on April 22. Smelter is a throwback to 16-bit classics such as Actraiser and Mega Man combining 2D real-time strategy with explosive side-scrolling action stages. Play Video In Smelter, players take the role of Eve, who embarks on a journey to find Adam and meets a mysterious being who goes by the name “Smelter.” After some quick convincing, Eve fuses with Smelter, gaining incredible power, and agrees to help Smelter expand his empire in a joint effort to discover Adam’s whereabouts and take back what’s theirs. The game unfolds in a rotation between strategy and action stages, punctuated by cinematic sequences, all wrapped up in a wacky narrative. Lead Smelter and his faithful army of Zirm forces in a top-down strategy conquest Players take control of Smelter in a top-down strategic conquest as he and his Zirm forces attempt to expand his empire by completing quests and taking on an onslaught of enemies determined to stop him. In overhead map stages, players control Smelter, who can fly, shoot, and destroy enemies and obstacles. Smelter can also command his obedient troops to expand territory, build structures, and unleash attack units against enemy monsters in various regions. Gameplay is designed with shooting and command-driven interfaces, adding modern-day tutorials to assist both veteran gamers and those new to the genre. Dive into thrilling action-platformer stages Reaching deeper into the Rumbly Lands, once the player has completed certain NPC-driven quests and fortified key locations on the map, players will access new and exciting action-platformer stages where they control Eve infused with Smelter on foot and take on the bad guys. Perform an array of melee attacks, jumps, dashes, wall grabs, Smelter special attacks, and maneuvers to complete the stages and progress the story. Stages contain secret Trial stages where the players are rewarded by completing short levels within given conditions, such as Time Trial, Don’t Get Hit, Don’t Be Seen and more. Smelt up the elements One of the key modern-day features of Smelter is the elemental skill tree system that grants Eve and Smelter special abilities on land and air. Perform punching combos and rock shield counters with Gurabi’s earth and gravity-based skills, launch shock-infused spinning jump attacks with Eremagu’s electrified abilities, and fire long-range shooting attacks with the unstable yet deadly Nutoro elemental skill set. By unlocking new abilities, players can reach new areas and tackle stages with different approaches! Capturing the 16-bit feel — Smelter as a team in Osaka, Japan Brian Otten, one of the core developers at X Plus games in Osaka, Japan shared his thoughts on developing their passion project as a team of internationals. “Smelter is our debut title since coming together as a team in 2018 and it is our take on a combination we haven’t seen much in recent years: a top-down strategy, action-platformer in a 16-bit style,” Otten says. “When planning Smelter, we made it a priority to give our own spin on the top-down strategy and action-platformer genres, we were definitely inspired by classics like Actraiser and the Mega Man series simply because those were the games many of us loved to play and still love to play,” Otten says. “And while that might explain some of the inspirations for the game design choices, we feel Smelter has ultimately become a combination of our team’s personalities and what each of us enjoy to read, listen to, play and watch.” To that end, Smelter features hand-drawn pixel art reminiscent of the 16-bit era, a rockin’ soundtrack by Evader, and main themes by Mega Man composer, Manami Matsumae, an Osaka native, along with a modern day interface. “The majority of us were (and still are) foreigners living in Osaka,” Otten says. “The game development community in Japan can tend to be a fairly connected one, especially amongst expats, which makes it a great place to find those with similar goals. We were all looking for something new and eventually found ourselves together at X Plus, which has a long history with collectible figurines, and they were willing to give us a chance to pursue something we wanted to do. We are excited to share this project with gamers all over the world.” Check out Smelter on PS4 April 22. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/A-UowQv-WZQView the full article

Crimsonland was the very first game 10tons made. It was the very first game I made. If someone would have said at that time that I’d still be talking about it almost 18 years later… not sure if I’d have believed that. That’s crazy. Nevertheless, over the years, Crimsonland has gathered some sort of a cult following. Some players can’t seem to get enough of it. The biggest fans have played it over thousands of hours. While I can only speculate why all this has happened, I do have a few guesses how the game earned its hardcore following. Maze of monsters When the game originally came out in 2003, most 2D games still used software rendering. Using 3D accelerators enabled us to have thousands of moving monsters on screen at once. This had some novelty value especially back then, and there’s no denying that it can be very satisfying to mow down those monster hordes. This also defined the concept of level structure in a new way. Suddenly the monsters themselves provided an ever evolving maze to navigate through. You needed to plan and plow your way through the enemies to get to that next sweet powerup. Everything is in flux all the time, so you need to be constantly taking risks, planning new routes, and trying to figure out soft spots in the horde. I think this sort of plasticity keeps the gameplay fresh longer. Level up, die, repeat The survival mode of Crimsonland may have been one of the first action roguelike style experiences out there. Inspired by bigger RPGs like the Fallout series, one goal was to fit that RPG progress into shorter action game format. Kill monsters, gather experience points, level up, and try to survive as long as possible. Each time you level up, you get to pick one of the random Perks. As you get to know what each Perk does, and what combinations of weapons and Perks might be useful, you’ll start to form new strategies. You perished this time, but maybe in the next run you’ll get lucky? This makes it very tempting to play that one more new game. But I can only speculate why the game got popular. The truth is that the fans and them spreading the word is what has made Crimsonland popular. People are still talking about the game. And there’s still one question we hear all the time. When is Crimsonland 2 coming out? Verify your age to view this content. Verify your age to view this content. Crimsonland’s future Over the years, we’ve actually had more than one prototype for Crimsonland 2. The first one was focused on networked online multiplayer, but it quickly became apparent that having networked multiplayer wasn’t very compatible with thousands of monsters back then (2005). Eventually we gave up on that and focused on other projects. Another Crimsonland 2 prototype focused on a bigger open world sort of experience. That one proved to be a bit too big a project for our studio at the time, so we shelved that prototype too and focused on something else. Some of those open-world ideas did end up in our open-world RPG Dysmantle which is planned for release on PS4 and PS5 later this year. It’s an open-world action RPG, but the gameplay doesn’t resemble Crimsonland. Because of Crimsonland’s strange ability to defy time, we’ve kept it technically up to date, and even added some new features over the years. We also did a bigger modernization update a few years ago. As hardware has gotten more powerful, we’ve kept increasing the amount of monsters rushing in. The latest version on PS5 is the probably definitive Crimsonland experience at the moment. There’s never been as many monsters in Crimsonland as now. You’d think that at this point I’ve gotten my share of Crimsonland. But the truth is, I still play the game now and then. It’s one of my most played games in my PlayStation games library. After a long day, I power up my PS5 and launch Crimsonland. And mow down a few thousand monsters. And dream of Crimsonland 2. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/t7zIqYCUQP4View the full article

All of us at Spry Fox have felt the impact of this emotional and chaotic year. So we are excited to share Cozy Grove, a comforting oasis of beautiful art, deep storytelling, and delightful surprises coming to PS4 on April 8, 2021! Play Video Cozy Grove is a life-sim game about camping on a haunted, ever-changing island. As a Spirit Scout, you’ll wander the island’s forest each day, finding new hidden secrets and helping soothe the local ghosts. With a little time and a lot of crafting, you’ll bring color and joy back to Cozy Grove. Cozy Grove was inspired by relaxing life sims that encourage the player to unwind, explore and express themselves through decorations and clothing. But we wanted to push the genre in a few interesting ways, so for example, we used procedural generation to change the island itself on a regular basis, so you’re never quite sure what you’ll come back to each day. We’ve also added an original new gameplay mechanic in which large parts of the island are “uncolored” until you reinvigorate them. Once you do that, not only does the desaturated world literally become more colorful and beautiful, but plants begin producing fruit and characters become happier. I’ve witnessed this sort of moment in Cozy Grove a thousand times and I never get tired of it; it’s a perpetually delightful experience. We also wanted the game to have characters and stories that would really mean something to players, so we’ve given every character in the game a tale that slowly plays out over weeks or months. Some of those tales are silly, and some of those tales are deadly serious. We hope the result will be a narrative and game that makes you delighted to play for a few minutes or an hour every day for a long time to come. Cozy Grove’s distinctive look has been driven in large part by Noemí Gómez, our wildly talented and charming Spanish colleague. Noemí brings an extraordinary whimsy to everything she draws, which is perfect for a game that includes vegetable-bear hybrids and giant fox salesmen on a constantly shifting, limbo-esque island. Cozy Grove is ultimately intended to become a game that you comfortably settle into. It doesn’t make you feel like you need to play for 8 hours in a single sitting to “maximize” your experience, and it doesn’t make you feel like you’ve seen everything there is to see in a few days either. We want Cozy Grove to become a delightful ritual that you look forward to every day, and for it to remain that way for many weeks, months and possibly even years. When everything else in your life might be chaos, Cozy Grove will hopefully be a place you can predictably and regularly find a bit of joy. Finally, we wanted to let you know there will be a native PS5 version coming shortly after release with improved load times. Both the PS5 and PS4 Pro will also let you enjoy the game’s art in sweet 4K. The PS5 version will be available for free to PS4 players and you will be able to bring over your save between versions. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/vbY3bZx42m0View the full article

Hi everyone! There’s lots of new features, content, and incredible things to look forward to in today’s update, especially after Square Enix Presents. Clint Barton as Hawkeye has joined our roster of playable characters along with his own Operation: Future Imperfect. His story will take you to a new biome called the Wasteland, where you’ll encounter many enemies, including a new enemy type, the Cargo Runner Synthoid, that will drop items when defeated. You’ll also face off against a new villain, Maestro, a twisted Hulk from an alternate timeline who has Bruce’s wits and the Hulk’s power. We have been working hard on the community-requested Campaign Replay, and we’re excited to finally roll it out! You will be able to restart and replay the Reassemble Campaign from the beginning as many times as you like, experiencing Kamala’s journey reuniting the Avengers to your heart’s content. We can’t wait to see your new Photo Mode shots. Additionally, we are also implementing customizable HARM Rooms, so you can tailor your Super Hero training experience with various modifiers like enemy type, number, difficulty, and more! On top of this, we are giving everyone a free Ms. Marvel Outfit: Night Galaxy! And last but most certainly not least, Marvel’s Avengers next-gen versions are here—read up on the details of the new features and improvements coming to PlayStation 5 below! PlayStation 5 Features and Improvements Let’s talk about what new features and improvements you can expect when booting up Marvel’s Avengers on PlayStation 5. Before we begin, we’d like to remind everyone that players who own the PlayStation 4 version of the game will be able to upgrade to the full next-gen version at no additional cost!* Marvel’s Avengers takes full advantage of the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback functionality by giving every Avenger a unique feel that is fully personalized to their specific playstyle. Every skill and ability that uses the adaptive triggers—from readying up defensive abilities, to firing ranged weapons—has had special attention and functionality applied to enhance a satisfying combat-control experience. Imagine feeling the reverberation of charging Iron Man’s repulsors, the kickback of using his rockets, and the building intensity of focusing his heat lasers. Or the fast-paced force of Kate Bishop quickly firing a flurry of arrows, complimenting the tension of charging up that perfect shot. The entire combat system has been retuned and customized specifically to take advantage of the DualSense controller. Marvel’s Avengers supports the PlayStation 5 console’s improved 3D audio technology that powers its unique spatial audio capabilities. With your compatible headphones, you can hear the fight all around you with the PS5 console’s Tempest 3D AudioTech, which simulates sound from a variety of different directions and sources. Hear Black Widow’s pistols firing behind you and Iron Man blasting his Unibeam as he hovers overhead for realistic surround sound, making Marvel’s Avengers an even more immersive Super Hero experience. The PS5 will boast speedy loading times to get you into the action fast. Go from the War Table right into your location or mission of choice, be it Substation Zero hidden in the humid and verdant Pacific Northwest or a search for an AIM-guarded SHIELD bunker in the frigid snows of Siberia. AIM won’t even get a chance to regroup before you’re back on their doorstep. Speaking of regrouping, players on both PS4 and PS5 will be able to play together due to cross-generational matchmaking. With the power of the PS5 channeling directly into Heroics, destruction, graphical fidelity, and framerate, you won’t be missing any of the details. The action will load in and refresh seamlessly for combat and exploration. Thanks to improvements to ambient occlusion and anisotropic texturing, the world will look and feel that much more real than the PS4 version. The high-resolution textures and translucency add that level of exciting, cinematic realism to Heroics, making the blinding torrent of Thor’s lightning as brilliantly striking as the power of a god would be. Play Video Looking into the Future During Square Enix Presents, we unveiled a look at the upcoming months for Marvel’s Avengers, including new Villain Sectors like a battle against Monica, mission types, events, and Black Panther and the War for Wakanda. The entire Crystal Dynamics team is looking forward to providing more details in the future and can’t wait to show you everything we’ve been working on. We’re excited to herald in the PS5 console upgrades for the ultimate Super Hero gameplay experience! We look forward to seeing you in the Wastelands of Future Imperfect along with Hawkeye, which are available now. Get your arrows ready! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PSBlog/~4/S6RPxbqQ_mUView the full article
