  1. Since launching in May, our Uncharted 4 Multiplayer community has been celebrating victories over their enemies with The Pop and Lock, The Robot, The Dab, and a collection of other elaborate dance taunts. As the ultimate expression of your triumph in multiplayer, we knew we had to make them as authentic as possible and fun to watch, which is why we enlisted the help of professional choreographers Matt Steffanina and Dana Alexa. Together, they donned motion capture suits and performed the array of modern and classic dance routines that you can now find in-game. To show you how we brought Matt and Dana’s performances to life in Uncharted 4 Multiplayer, check out this new video that offers behind-the-scenes footage: In addition to the collection of dance taunts available at launch, on June 28, we released a new DLC update, Uncharted 4 multiplayer: Lost Treasures. As part of the update, we added even more dance taunts, alongside a wealth of other new multiplayer content, including a new map (at no cost!), ranked play system, new character items, and more. But the Lost Treasures DLC is just the beginning. We’ll be introducing more new multiplayer content throughout the year and into 2017. For all the latest, keep an eye out for updates on NaughtyDog.com and by following us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat. View the full article
  2. I’ve worked on close to 30 games in my 22 years as a game developer, and I don’t think any have been more personally rewarding than Song of the Deep. The game is a 2D Metroidvania-style action-adventure and it launches today. It tells the tale of Merryn, a girl who takes incredible risks in an attempt to rescue her father who has been lost at sea. We’ve had a small, but very talented team working on the game for the last year and a half, and I’m amazed by what they’ve accomplished. One of the things I love most about video games as a medium is that they can transport you to a world you’ve never seen and let you discover its secrets from the inside. And the team has done an incredible job making it an incredible world to explore. Everything is interactive in unexpected ways, and every part of the world is moving and full of secrets. Each different part of the world tells a story through the art and music as much as through the core storyline itself. I’m incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished and how much heart they put into every detail – the art, animation, music, puzzle design – they all combine to create what I think is a singularly beautiful experience. While the character Merryn was originally inspired by my 11-year-old daughter, the game itself is very much a core gamer’s experience. The puzzles are challenging and the action can get really intense, especially in the hard difficulty modes. Personally I really love the blend of action and puzzles, but my favorite part of the game was searching for the secrets. It’s a really vast world and you’ll have over 200 treasures to collect. You can equip your sub with 30 upgrades and 15-plus abilities to access new areas of the sea, and combine those abilities in surprising ways. One of my favorites is catching a torpedo with your claw arm mechanism. Song of the Deep is also special to me because ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by submarines. As a boy in South Dakota, I would pretend my bed was a submarine and I was exploring the uncharted mysteries of the ocean. One of the best parts about being a game creator is the opportunity to bring your childhood dreams to life. One other opportunity on this project was the chance to create a companion novel (also called Song of the Deep) that tells the story of Merryn’s journey from her own perspective. The book delves deeper into many of the mysteries and secrets of the world, as well revealing more about Merryn’s earlier life and why she makes the choices she does. The book is in Barnes & Noble stores and available online starting today. I hope you’ll check out Song of the Deep either at GameStop, where it’s available exclusively at retail, or on the PlayStation Store for $14.99. It’s truly been a labor of love for me and the incredibly talented and passionate team who brought this world to life. Please share your experiences playing the game or reading the book either here in the comments section, on Insomniac’s Facebook page or via Twitter. View the full article

  4. As a long-time fan of the Call of Duty Zombies series, I’m dying to get my mitts on Descent, the third Call of Duty: Black Ops III DLC pack launching tomorrow on PS4. Based on what we’ve seen so far, Treyarch is going gonzo with the latest addition to the Zombies saga in a new chapter called Gorod Krovi. Good news: We’ve invited Treyarch’s Director of Zombies, Jason Blundell, to join us for an extended live demo and discussion of the new Zombies experience. Watch live at 10:00am Pacific Time tomorrow on Twitch. Gorod Krovi continues the story of Zombies Origins star Nikolai, thrusting players into an alternate universe version of 1940’s-era Soviet Union. On tomorrow’s livestream, we’ll talk to Jason about the new enemies, gameplay mechanics, and weaponry they’ll encounter in the razed remnants of Stalingrad. The Call of Duty: Black Ops III Descent DLC pack will also include four new competitive multiplayer maps, including a re-imagining of the Call of Duty Black Ops II fan favorite Raid. Read on for more details on the four new competitive multiplayer maps. CryogenLocated far off the coast in the Dead Sea, an isolated compound holds some of the world’s most dangerous criminals in frozen isolation. Sentry towers keep watch over the small map’s circular design as frenetic combat is funneled around the prison’s cryogenic tubes which offer plenty of opportunities for wall running attacks. BerserkAncient sentinels from a lost civilization guard the entrance to Berserk, a Viking village frozen in time. Fight through blizzards and control the center bridge as you navigate this medium map’s wooden buildings and craggy rock outcroppings. RumbleFight it out among mechanized warriors in Rumble an arena where giant robots battle to the roar of the crowd. The small to medium sized map funnels high-speed combat to the central pit with tight corners throughout the exterior of the stadium. EmpireThe fan favorite Call of Duty: Black Ops II map, Raid gets a fresh upgrade enhanced by the BO3 chained movement system. The classic medium sized map features an authentic Roman villa recreated by a modern-day eccentric billionaire and mixed site lines enable any style of gameplay.

  5. Hi everyone, Chris McQuinn here! We’re proud to announce that an idea that has been in the works for a very long time is finally happening — our very own bundle for PS Vita! Starting July 13, you can get all of our PS Vita games in a single package. Let me introduce you to the Drinkbox Vita Collection which includes: The GamesTales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack — Designed for PS Vita as a launch title, Mutant Blobs Attack puts you in control of a hungry blob who escapes from the confines of an evil scientist’s lab and sets out to seek revenge on all mankind. Guacamelee! — A “Metroidvania†style action-platformer set in a magical Mexican-inspired world. The bundle also includes two DLC packs that were released for the game: a Costume Pack which allows you to change the appearance and gameplay statistics of your character, and El Diablo’s Domain, a series of challenge levels with completion rewards. Guacamelee! is also a cross-buy title, so you’ll be able to download the PS3 versions of all of these items as well! Severed — Our latest PS Vita game Severed was designed for PS Vita, making heavy use of the touchscreen for combat and the glorious D-pad for navigation (lefties can use the face buttons for navigation). Severed has you playing as Sasha, a one-armed warrior who embarks on a journey through a surreal fantasy world in search of her missing family. If you haven’t had a chance to try out Drinkbox’s PS Vita games, then now is your chance! And, if you are familiar with our games, then please pass on the word. Much love and thanks for all of the support from the amazing PS Vita community! View the full article
  6. Emma from DreamSail Games here with a super exciting announcement: Blade Ballet will launch on PS4 August 9! We’ve been through a lot since our first post on Playstation.Blog, and we’d like to share a bit about how our journey has been going so far. Six months ago, we made a big, scary, public promise that we would get online multiplayer into the game. We’d been showing Blade Ballet off at events, holding playtests, and gathering advice from other studios, and one recurring theme stood out to us. Though people loved playing in-person with one another, they wanted to take it further. They wanted to share the experience with friends who (for one reason or another) couldn’t get together to play on the couch, and also to use it as a way to connect with new people in fun and interesting ways. We hadn’t anticipated this shift in direction when we first started development. It was a risk to take on this new challenge, one that wasn’t guaranteed to pay off. Not every team can make it through the gauntlet of a big change like this — stress puts pressure on professional relationships, leading studios to either crumble or emerge stronger than ever. Our team rose to the challenge. They poured their skills and passion into making Blade Ballet accessible to as broad an audience as possible, rewarding those players and fans who have stuck with us from the beginning by giving them what they asked for. Amidst the flurry of new tasks related to implementing online multiplayer, there was still a lot of work that needed to be done on the core game. We added new levels to provide more options and keep things fresh for frequent players. Visual polish to bring our well-loved bot creatures to life. Effects to pump up our already energetic and colorful style, and make each life-or-death moment even more intense. All of it brought us to where we are today: excited to and ready to launch in a little more than a month. Along the way, we continued to show off Blade Ballet at events and shows, and players delighted us by taking the game in directions we’d never imagined. One moment in particular stands out to me: at MomoCon, we ran our first tournaments, and a group of competitors committed themselves to winning, honing their skills for hours over the course of the con. One of the players made a vow to win with a bot that our team previously considered mid-tier (at best). He lost match after match, but refused to concede that this character was weaker. As his skills increased, crowds gathered to watch the clutch moves he was suddenly capable of pulling off with an underrated pick. And finally, after the most intense game of Blade Ballet that I’ve ever watched, he whirled his bot to breathless victory. This, as game developers dedicated to creating engaging multiplayer experiences, is the moment we dream of. We’re hungry for more. Join us in the world of Blade Ballet on August 9 — we’ll see you in the game! View the full article
  7. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Several game development veterans walk into a bar. After a few drinks, they come up with the idea to create a game inspired by one of their previous successes. A kind witch hears their wish and grants them millions of dollars to create said game. The bewildered-but-grateful development team skip out into the night to dive into their newfound wealth, Scrooge McDuck-style. Okay, so that’s not quite how Yooka-Laylee was conceived. While a trip to the pub may have been involved, it took years of hard work, the formation of a new company, some revised concepts, and eventually a hugely successful Kickstarter funded by 80,000 eager backers before their open-world 3D platformer became a reality. Ironically, after all that, it only took 38 minutes for Yooka-Laylee to hit its crowdfunding target, flying past £1 million in under a day, and amassing a total of £2.1 million by the campaign’s crescendo. “It’s still a shock,†says composer Grant Kirkhope. “None of us for a second thought that it would get that far. We never actually saw the funding counter at zero — we thought it was broken!†Now 20 people strong, the modest Playtonic team are using this inspirational feat to drive them in making a game that feels like a spiritual successor to the bygone Banjo-Kazooie era. Which means big environments, wacky characters, a colorful art style… and collectibles. Wait! Come back! “We want to capture the good things about collect-athons from the past and avoid the tedium,†explains writer Andy Robinson. “Every collectible has meaningful impact on gameplay. For example, quills can be used to pay for special moves, butterflies refill the health and power meters, and Pagies unlock new areas and environments, which in turn open up fresh challenges and secrets.†Playtonic is confident in its approach, showing an example where Nimbo the cloud (lamenting his ex-wife… don’t ask) can be filled up with water. This causes the lush world to be drenched with rain, filling up riverbeds and unlocking new areas. Shoot him up with ice blasts instead and the world becomes snow covered, opening up different challenges — so a once surefooted race mini-game seamlessly becomes a slippery ice skate. Refreshing the genre also extends to the titular duo. Yooka the chameleon can use his powers to blend with environments and tongue-lash enemies, while Laylee the bat has the ability to fire sonar blasts and fly. Both can swallow fruit to imbue them with special powers, but it’s the mischievous character design which really brings them alive — leave the controller alone and Laylee will gnaw at Yooka’s shoulder, resulting in a comedic tussle between the two. The game’s playful sense of humor really shines when talking with the Playtonic crew about the additional members of the eclectic cast. “We wanted the characters to live on beyond just this game so that we can build our own universe,†says Andy. “So when we designed them, we thought about whether they could be in a different genre, or star in their own game. “Big baddie Capital B was fun to write — we gave him a lot of business-style taunts, like ‘Just you wait until Q4 of the game! Did you know world-on-world, you’re down on your forecasts?’ My background is in the media, so I’ve spent so much time sat in conference calls, listening to all of this stuff!†And then there’s Trowzer, the snake “salesman.†“Gavin [Price, Creative Lead] suggested a snake in shorts, and I thought that sounded ridiculous,†smiles Steve. “But after going away to think about it and coming up with a concept, it worked really well.†“We thought that the humour behind Trowzer was really subtle…†says Andy. “I thought it was terrible!†laughs Steve. “I think Steve was one of the guys who didn’t get the joke the first time around, half the team didn’t until afterwards!†jabs Andy, prompting a howl of derision from Steve. “We want to create a family game for everyone, but get in fun jokes for an older audience — like in The Simpsons or Pixar films. All jokes aside, the team takes their responsibility to their fans — and backers — seriously. “It would be easy for us to just go into autopilot when making the game, so we’re very conscious about that,†says Grant. “That said, there’s not much out there that looks like Yooka-Laylee right now, which is weird because back in the ’90s there were tons of 3D platformers.†“And anyone can do nice graphics these days because the technology is there,†says Steve. “You really need something to stand out,†adds Steve. “We’ve played many games recently where you feel exhausted when you finished them because it wasn’t as enjoyable an experience as you wanted. But every time you pick up the controller for Yooka Laylee we just want you to have a good time.†And it’s that sentiment which is at the heart of Yooka-Laylee. Because no matter how the game was initially devised, the toothy grin of its titular heroes sums up Playtonic’s gratitude. “It’s been amazing to have the support of Sony and be on magazine covers… the whole process has been pretty wild, especially for such a small team,†says Andy. “And we’ll never forget the backers who essentially started Playtonic off,†says Steve. “We’ll be forever grateful to those people. It’s been wonderful.†View the full article

  11. Get ready to jump out of your seats. Emily Wants to Play is headed to PS4 this August. Emily Wants to Play is a survival horror thrill ride without any blood or gore. Players control a pizza delivery person who is trapped by Emily and her dolls on his last delivery of the night. Throughout the night, players must survive while exploring the house to uncover the eerie story of Emily, her strange parents, and the even stranger dolls. Emily Wants to Play scares most players almost immediately. But, if players are brave enough to continue, they are treated to a survival strategy showdown between the pizza guy and Emily and the dolls. Making a Scary Game is… ScaryWorking on the game itself was a frightening endeavor. Sometimes I would be all alone, working on it at night. I could imagine the characters coming to life on their own, tilting their head sideways and staring back at me through the monitor. It’s a scary thought, and it shouldn’t be able to happen. But, if I make a mistake in the programming, it actually can happen! A few times during testing, a doll was supposed to move away from me, but instead, very unexpectedly, it would run straight at me. It was alarming, to say the least. The House is RealThe environment in the game, the house, is actually my childhood home in New Orleans. It was a very old house where several bizarre and traumatic occurrences took place. I wasn’t going to use it at first, but as I drew it out on paper, I realized the layout was perfect. The layout of the house really worked great in combination with the strategic elements that occur later on in the game. The Dolls Are AliveIn addition to the scary old house, I added another one of my fears: dolls! I don’t like any kind of doll, and the thought of a doll coming to life has always bothered me. I decided to combine both and create a game where players run from possessed dolls in a creepy old house. To make the game even more spooky, the dolls and Emily were given their own personalities. They can move around the house freely, watch the player, and determine the best way to scare them. Emily and the dolls like to play their own version of popular children’s games. In order to survive, players must determine how to react to each game. Everyone Loves to WatchAn unexpected side effect of how the game works is that it is so much fun watching other people play. Players share it with their friends and family to watch their reactions. This effect caused the PC version of Emily Wants to Play to take off on YouTube. It grew the fan base exponentially. Fans without a PC began asking me for a console version of the game. So, I decided to dive right into console development and bring it to more platforms. After months of work, tons of fan requests, and more than 100 million gameplay views later, I am excited to announce that Emily Wants to Play is ready for PS4. It will launch August 9 on PlayStation Store. View the full article
  12. Hey PlayStation Nation. We’d like to introduce you to the latest Hero joining our MOBA Paragon. We call this fighter Greystone. He’s a noble force who leads his team into battle. Get your first look at Greystone below. You’ll be able to play Greystone as part of our update on Tuesday, July 12. The TLDR on Greystone is that he is a fighter who thrives in team fights and excels on the front lines. Using “Assault the Gates†to close the gap on high-priority targets, Greystone then activates “Make Way†dealing damage in an area around him. He doesn’t mind taking a few blows since his “Stoic†ability grants him passive bonus resistances. When Greystone’s opponents think they’ve bested him, he turns to stone and is respawned through his ultimate ability, “Reforged.†With his spirit crashing down from above, Greystone returns from the dead with a portion of his HP and full Mana while damaging and knocking up enemies around him. As always, all Heroes in Paragon are free, so if you’re in Early Access you’ll be able to jump in as Greystone on Tuesday. PlayStation Plus members get the Paragon Starter Pack for free during the month of July. And if you’re not in Early Access yet, you can pick up a Starter or Founder’s Pack now to get into the action. See you on the battlefield! View the full article
  13. Welcome back! Last month, Battlefield 4 was the most-downloaded game on PlayStation 4, beating out Blizzard’s up-and-comer Overwatch, which took the runner-up spot. Dark Souls II led the charge on PS3, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s “The Giant†was the biggest add-on for the month on both PS4 and PS3. Rockstar took the top three slots in the Classics category, followed closely by Psychonauts and Dark Cloud 2.

  14. Type:Rider is an immersive and unique experience produced by ARTE, Ex Nihilo, and Audiogaming to uncover the history and secrets of fonts and characters! And we’re bringing it to PS4 and PS Vita on July 12. Incarnate two dots and travel through the ages of typographic styles and techniques. From the rock paintings of prehistoric times to Pixel art of the 2000’s, solve all the riddles by riding the most popular fonts and characters (Garamond, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Pixel…) in a very captivating musical and visual environment. You’ll be able to roll through the world of typography in 10 different levels — each level relates to a specific font. Additionally, we’re bringing new exclusive content with 10 additional levels designed for speed runs within the new time attack mode, along with its leaderboard. We’ve also added the option to play with back touch on PS Vita and with motion on DualShock 4 in order to allow the player to experiment with new ways of playing. We are eager to see the speedrunning community taking on Type:Rider and setting up the best times. We suspect that the community will find ways to amaze us and crush our own best scores in no time. We trust that the community will make the game into a competitive platform. Type:Rider will be yours on PS4 and PS Vita with cross buy support on July 12. View the full article

  17. While seeking life on a distant planet, an astronaut discovers an abandoned Russian town. He suspects his mission is a hoax until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon. The Premier Edition of the mysterious sci-fi adventure Lifeless Planet is coming to PlayStation 4 July 19! This remastered version is being published by Serenity Forge, and it harnesses the awesome power of the PS4 to tell a truly intriguing and thought-provoking story. Exclusive to the PS4 release, the main character model has been updated with more detail and double the texture resolution. The game also runs on an updated game engine and features advanced physically based shaders and dramatically improved lighting. The Premier Edition on PS4 shows off the starkly atmospheric world of Lifeless Planet in all its glory. Lifeless Planet is a third-person action-adventure that features an old-school sci-fi story and spectacular environments in the spirit of classic action-adventures. After a hard landing, an astronaut discovers that this planet, which was reported to be rich with life, is instead a barren wasteland. When he goes searching for his crew, he makes a more startling discovery: evidence that humans have already been to this planet years ago! When he comes upon a deserted Soviet-era Russian town, he struggles to make sense of his mission. Did his light-speed travel to the planet send him back in time? Or is this all some strange Cold War hoax? Lifeless Planet was inspired by Cold War era science fiction stories, posing questions about humankind’s desire for space travel. What if you journeyed across the galaxy to another planet, only to find humans had already been there? What kind of person would sign up for a one-way mission, leaving behind planet Earth and everyone they’ve ever known and loved… to go in search of an Earth-like planet? Equipped with a limited-use jet-pack and a mobile robotic arm, the player must use their wits and skill to solve puzzles, unravel the mystery, and survive the Lifeless Planet! View the full article

  19. Combat or stealth? Lethal or non-lethal? Plasma rifle or fire extinguisher? There’s nothing quite like freedom of choice in video games (fire extinguisher every time, by the way) — and between its wealth of combat and dialogue options, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided offers plenty. But in a world where biotech has been blended into a Molotov cocktail of paranoia, segregation, and racism, what you perceive as “right†and “wrong†may end up being more mixed-up than you planned. Which is exactly the perfect storm Eidos Montreal is striving for. “He chose… poorlyâ€â€œWe wanted to take a look at the human condition in the face of the tragedy that came at the end of Deus Ex: Human Revolution,†says Mary DeMarle, Executive Narrative Director. “As Adam Jensen you’re dropped into scenarios where you’re deployed against terrorism and the people behind it — but are they really terrorists? Will you actually see them as ‘evil’ when you encounter them? And how will that affect your decisions?†Set two years after Human Revolution, protagonist Jensen may have embraced his new technological augmentations, but you’re the one who decides what he does with them. “One of the things we really wanted to do was make your choices and consequences pay off on many levels throughout the game,†explains DeMarle. “Sometimes you may not be aware of them but others require you to choose between two specific paths which impact your end game. And how you approach the final mission will depend on all these choices through the game, meaning you’ll get a different experience of the ending to someone else.†Mankind Divided’s Tree of LifeWhile from the player’s perspective it’s great that you have a say on whether Jensen is a charismatic, cool pacifist or a cold-blooded, fire extinguisher-wielding maniac, but for the game’s principle writing staff, making sure you had all of these options was a colossal task. “As a writer you still have to get the scene to an emotional beat which makes sense, taking into account the variable player choices,†says DeMarle. “So a three minute scene may end up being around 30 pages of script.†“We ended up creating what we call The Tree of Life, which tracks all the possible choices in the game — and we did it via Excel, which was probably not the best program for that sort of flowchart!†she laughs. “From a script standpoint, every time I have to go back to that final mission and try and keep track of everything that could lead to it, my head wanted to explode!†Augmenting Your StoryWith the team’s ability to be as agile as your in-game choices, DeMarle is also keen to make sure you have plenty of side missions that, while not as crucial to the plot, are important to the game’s themes and offer a new spin on both your overall mission and Jensen’s evolving personality. “Some of my favorite stories in the game are the ones which are totally optional, but you could still miss an awful lot if you ignore them,†says DeMarle. “You can solve some side missions in 10 minutes, but if you take your time and explore you can start peeling away at the story and meet additional characters.†“We wanted to add more environmental storytelling like we did in Human Revolution, so by exploring apartments you see these little micro stories through their appearance — things like emails and other details that have nothing to do with your objective, but flesh out the world you’re in.†And then there’s the ultimate choice. When you complete the game, you have the New Game + option which lets you start over with your fully kitted out version of Jensen. “We know New Game + totally breaks the narrative, but this is a game about choice, so we wanted players to explore that in this aspect too,†smiles DeMarle. “Your augmentations in New Game + really let you take advantage and get access to stuff that you didn’t know was there the first time, especially as we designed the game to feature more verticality and 360 entrances for some of the buildings.†Deus Ex — The Steampunk Years?No matter where your version of Adam Jensen ends up, the future looks shiny when Deus Ex: Mankind Divided launches on August 23 — but DeMarle had an interesting revelation to close on. “We had all the usual points of inspiration, like William Gibson’s Neuromancer, Scientific America magazine, articles on transhumanism and a book called Radical Evolution, but I also watched a lot of good TV like Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad when working on the game,†she says. “Even things like The Shining are influential because the characters are so well rounded. And I like China Miéville’s work, which is more steampunk.†Would she consider a steampunk version of Deus Ex, complete with a tweed wearing Jensen? “That would be really cool!†laughs DeMarle. “I certainly wouldn’t be adverse to it! But it’s a collaborative effort with the team… although I think Jonathan [Jacques-Belletête, Executive Art Director] would love that!†“It may not even end up being Jensen, though — maybe someone new…!†View the full article
  20. It’d be fair to say that, as a gaming genre, comedy has always been an under-explored one. While a staple of film and literature, gaming has rarely gone further than wise-cracking characters, pop-culture references, and shameless punning in its pursuit of entertainment. Ubisoft San Francisco’s forthcoming South Park: The Fractured But Whole continues Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s natural instinct for going against the grain, aiming to combine classic RPG mechanics with full-blown comedic writing. I sat down with Senior Producer Jason Schroeder backstage at E3 last month to ask him how he and his team are tackling the challenges of working with two such prolific comedy writers. “They’re really, really involved,†Jason says of Stone and Parker’s connection to the project. “We have daily calls and I’m down there a few times a month just constantly trying to make sure that they’re getting the comedy they want into the game and making sure that it all makes sense moment to moment. “They’re both gamers, so there’s a really easy common language,†he continues. “However, deadlines and pressure are actually some of the best ways they get their comedy. Separate from the game, they truly make each episode of South Park in just six days. It’s from that pressure that they get their really relevant, really timely jokes. The video game cycle, by comparison, is brutally long for them.†There are clearly hurdles in finding the common ground between gaming and TV comedy writing, but Schroeder is keen to emphasise his dedication to the source material. “My aspiration is to make sure every South Park fan gets an unedited Matt Stone and Trey Parker experience. “We always want to try and make sure to get every joke in that we can. Sometimes we have to ask the guys ‘Okay, do you want that to be a gag or do you want it to be a whole system? Should we build this in as a dynamic part of the game or do we want it to just be something that happens?'†And this seems to be the biggest obstacle for the team — comedy is largely about timing and the difference between a 25-minute TV episode and an 8 to 12-hour game can change a lot. “Sometimes people will have fun with a joke for five minutes but if you try to build a whole level around it they might feel like ‘Okay, I got the joke the first time and it was funny but I’ve been doing it for an hour now.'†One thing that stands out as we’re talking is Jason’s enormous passion for the South Park universe and the writers’ quirky sense of humor. I asked him how it felt to be such a big fan of the series he was working on. “18 months ago, I got my first hand-delivered paper script while I was down at their office and I was thinking to myself ‘I don’t want to read this, it’s going to be full of spoilers.’ It was this very genuine fan moment and I had to say to myself ‘Well, I guess it’s my job — I’m going to have to read this thing 100 times over.'†It’s always a gamble turning something you love into a living — does Jason worry that spending so much time with the characters might affect his passion for the show? “When you do an E3 demo you play the game over and over and when we left at the end of the week, the team was still laughing at the jokes — it’s just been a ton of fun. “In our theater yesterday we had one of those really just contagious moments of laughter: someone was laughing and then that made the person sitting next to them start laughing, then our demonstrator cracked up. Tears were running down their faces because the jokes just kept coming and coming.†Looking around the E3 show floor, with its heavy emphasis on action, drama, and conflict, it’s clear that the comedy genre is still very much uncharted territory for most game developers. “Comedy games definitely have room for growth,†agrees Jason. “One of the things that we’ve discovered is that you can really make people think with a comedy game because you’re able to subvert their expectations. Even the typical way they might do things on a PlayStation controller: we say ‘Pull the triggers and start rotating the analog sticks’ and then they see on screen that the kid is moving his butt around.†South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are well known for courting controversy with projects, often pushing the boundaries of whatever medium they’re working in. Jason was keen to assure fans they can expect more of the same from South Park: The Fractured But Whole. “There’s hopefully going to be some stuff in there that people will say ‘How did that make it through classification?'†You can find out exactly what he’s getting at when South Park: The Fractured But Whole launches on PS4 December 6.

  23. Death’s Gambit is a challenging action RPG where you fight your way through an alien medieval planet filled with beasts, knights, and horrors. As an agent of Death, you are bound to his service until you destroy the source of the immortals. Development on Death’s Gambit continues, but in the meantime we thought it apt to share a unique feature we’ve kept under wraps for quite some time now: the class selection system. Everyone has a favorite playstyle, and while various weapons are readily available along your journey, there are certain gameplay elements unique to individual classes. Class also determines your starting equipment and stats. In this trailer we show some of the different immortal bosses that you encounter. Our goal from the start was to make each boss have unique abilities that stand out from everything else in the game. We also wanted to give the player a large arsenal of weapons and abilities to tackle them. It’s up to you to discover the best strategies and character build. Although immortal characters and bosses can be defeated, they come back to life. You don’t ever have to fight the bosses again but it may still be worth your time since they might drop different items depending how you defeat them. On the other hand, you’ll also encounter mortal characters and friends along the way. Figuring out who is mortal and who isn’t will affect the story. Wouldn’t want to anger the wrong immortal, right?

  24. Hey there! kokoromi here with an update on SuperHyperCube. In our last post, we shared with you a bit of the game’s history and our aesthetic inspirations for the game, from iconic film sequences to immersive art movements. We want you to feel like you are a part of a completely separate reality of warm, glowing light and abstract space. We’ve put tons of detail into the game’s retro-futuristic look and feel. In this post we’d like to share a bit about the gameplay in SuperHyperCube, to give you an idea of how things work. We’ve spent the past year refining our mechanics, adding new elements and stripping away others to hone in on the right level of challenge and create a streamlined gameplay experience. Without giving away too many secrets, here is a bit of what you can expect when the game launches on October 13. SuperHyperCube is very simple: you start off with a single cube, a cube that matches a hole in an ominously approaching wall. The object of the game is to fit your cube through the wall. Easy, right? Fitting cubes through holes is the heart of the game, and we were determined not to stray too far from it. Of course, we’ve brought in a few additional challenges. Once you pass through the wall, additional cubes will snap on to your original cube, creating a random cluster of cubes. As you progress through the game, your cluster continues to grow to hundreds of cubes, and it is your job to rotate it so that it fits through the hole in the oncoming wall. The trouble is, the cluster obscures the shape of the hole in the wall, so you have to look around it in order to properly see the hole, and get a better sense of the shape of your cluster. This is where headtracking comes in, and why you can’t play the game without it. Once you’ve aligned your cluster to the hole, you can either sit tight and naturally pass through the wall, or if you are confident in your success, you can Boost (a kind of quick-drop) to accelerate your cluster through the hole. As you Boost, you subsequently charge power-ups that can help you get out of tight situations in the game. The first power-up is a Time Warp, a bullet-time effect which allows you to temporarily slow down time, giving you extra opportunity to align your cluster to the oncoming hole. The second is Smash, which gives you the power to blast through the oncoming wall, leaving it in shattered fragments. Nothing is more satisfying than turning the tables on those smug walls! There are also special trick walls within the game that serve as gateways to new levels, each one a new world with its own ambience and aesthetic. All in all, there are 10 levels to master, each made up of 10 walls. See how you match up against your friends, or players from around the world, on the leaderboards… or simply try and beat your own personal best scores and stats! There you have it. One game, 10 levels, 100 walls. Are you up for the challenge? If you can’t wait until October, SuperHyperCube is currently playable in select GameStop and Best Buy locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, and if you are lucky, you may catch it at other game and VR festivals near you. <3 kokoromi View the full article
  25. Behold — the original shooter from the 16-bit era, now with stunning HD-era visuals! We announced Assault Suit Leynos for PS4 only a few short months ago, and since then there has been a real surge in excitement from fans of the classic series, known originally as Target Earth. The game received a staggering showing at PAX East in the U.S. and also at London’s ComicCon. Illustrated by the community reaction, Leynos is fondly remembered by fans of the 16-bit classic, and that’s why we can’t wait to bring this blistering, high-definition remake to PS4 with enhanced visuals and entirely new gameplay features. Our developer partner Dracue, based out of Japan, is handling the respectful and faithful coding duties (so that’s why you’re stuck with me, a Rising Star publishing person). You’ll see we’ve not dialed down or diluted the series’ (in)famous level of challenge. This is a tough game, but fair — rewarding precision and skill. We’re proud to shout about its hardcore nature. The newly remixed Arcade mode offers extended levels, full voice-acted cutscenes, and recalibrated AI enemies. For those who enjoy a real old-school experience, Classic mode challenges you to battle like it’s 1990 with authentic gameplay, effects, and music. For newcomers, Assault Suit Leynos provides a rewarding learning curve. With patience and proficiency, you’ll begin to make headway into the game in no time, discovering your favorite weapon loadouts to choose for the mission, and enjoying the game’s climactic set pieces and anime sci-fi story. There’s also the opportunity to apply various gameplay modifiers to customize your experience the way you want it. As a team made up of fairly core gamers, here at Rising Star Games we’re honored to bring this classic from our childhoods to a new generation of console and a new community of gamers. Assault Suit Leynos is available digitally on July 12, priced at $19.99. View the full article
