Commander Fury

I can’t believe we’re finally here. The season finale to an amazing journey for Hitman, for Io-Interactive, and — I hope — also for all of you. Agent 47 has arrived at a hyper-exclusive hospital in Hokkaido, Japan, for Episode 6, and you can play it today. We’ll be watching livestreams, reading forums, and scrolling through reviews of everything that we have released in this season with an incredible feeling of excitement and pride. We took Agent 47 to seven different cities on four continents and truly created a World of Assassination, which has been our ambition right from the start. Now we’re finally there. It’s a bit overwhelming when I look back on everything we’ve done to get here. For the Season Finale we’re going to take you to Hokkaido, Japan, with a mission called “Situs Inversus.†The term relates to a real-life medical condition where the heart and other organs of the body are on the opposite side to where they should be. Your main target suffers from this condition and has checked into the hyper-exclusive GAMA private hospital for life-saving surgery. As Agent 47, you must make sure that doesn’t happen, one way or another — and as always there are many ways! And this target is also going to close the story in a full circle that started back when Agent 47 joined the agency. The GAMA hospital is a fusion of Japanese beauty and cutting-edge technology, featuring its own Zen gardens, organic sushi restaurant, and traditional Japanese hot spring — so plenty for Agent 47 to get up to. It’s equally tranquil and clinical and a great environment to create some unique possibilities that you could only find in a Hitman game. Suffice to say, you’ll need your wits about you and also everything you’ve learnt in the previous episodes. From when we first released our beta back in February, through to the release of our Season Finale today, it has been an incredible journey for us and for Agent 47. I want to say a big “thank you†to all you players making this possible. Together we’ve built and run the biggest and most replayable locations of any Hitman game and added new live content every single week since launch. We have continued to improve our Contracts mode and created Escalations in collaboration with you, including Challenges and Challenge Packs based on what you have pulled off, and seen equal measure of joy and heart-pounding tension whenever we feature one-time Elusive Target events. It’s been fantastic, and although we have now completed this season, this is only the beginning for our ever-expanding World of Assassination. View the full article

Happy Halloween! Here’s your treat: I Expect You To Die, the acclaimed, spy-themed, escape-the-room game, will launch this December on PS VR. The wait to experience the many ways a spy can perish in VR is almost over. After all, when you develop a game named I Expect You to Die, the trick is having more than one way to die. When we started making I Expect You To Die, we knew there had to be consequences for agents that didn’t “escape the room,†but we also knew we had to be careful crafting those consequences. Make the level too hard or the puzzles too obtuse, and players would be frustrated and quit. Too easy and it would be boring. We also didn’t want the design to be unfair. You never want the player to feel cheated by some lame trap that they couldn’t possibly have known about until after it killed them. The flipside is that dying in hilarious ways in VR can be very fun, and we knew we wanted that experience to be a large part of the game. With these variables in mind, we formulated two strict rules for each death: Always have at least one clue before a death trap. Make it clear why you died so you’d learn for the next playthrough. As long as we followed those rules, we felt pretty good about adding in a bunch of ways to die. In fact, for each level we had three or more ways the game would try to kill you and three or more ways you could accidentally kill yourself. When deciding on new venues for puzzles, we’d always make sure that there would be interesting ways to die that would be in theme. While there are more than 30 ways to die in the game, they basically boil down to six categories: explosion, fire, laser, gunshot, drowning, and suffocation. Our UI artist created the coroner’s reports you see in the “death scene†based on that info. Not only are these humorous pieces of art in their own right, they serve to reinforce and remind the player of what killed them, so they can avoid it next time. Speaking of next time, we thought long and hard on what happens when you die in the game. We wanted the player to be able to take a breath, process what happened, and then get back in. Early on we had considered checkpoints, but we found that sometimes players would get themselves in a bad state, or miss a clue that would help them complete the puzzle if they picked up midway through. We decided that starting fresh each time was important, but armed with the knowledge you gained from the previous run, you’d be able to quickly progress to where you left off. That’s why we consciously avoided any long timing puzzles, like avoiding swiveling security cameras for instance. Puzzles like that are questionably fun the first time and can quickly become annoying on subsequent playthroughs. This focus on letting the player progress through the puzzle as fast as they can lets them get back to where they left off quickly and allowed us to make speed-run challenges. Experimenting in VR is fun! Death shouldn’t be a punishment, it should be entertaining. So when you pick up your copy of I Expect You To Die, don’t be afraid to cut that bomb wire, pull that grenade pin, or anger that bear; after all, we expect you to die! View the full article

I have fond memories of Infinity Ward’s breakout hit Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, so earlier this month I stopped by Raven Software in Madison, Wisconsin to check out how progress was coming with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered on PS4. Check out highlights from my conversation with Raven above. Again and again I was reminded of the studio’s extensive experience in the FPS genre, including Soldier of Fortune and Quake IV, among others. Despite the radically improved visuals, lighting, and animations, Raven went to extreme lengths to retain the feel, pacing, and timing of the 2007 classic. I’m expecting this one to be fully faithful to the original game. Here are a few key takeaways from my visit to Raven Software: Raven’s number-one priority: keeping the gameplay fully authentic to the original game PS4 Pro support is a definite go, with support for richer textures and dynamic 4K graphics on top of the series’ signature fluid framerate Modern Warfare Remastered’s multiplayer mode will ship with 10 multiplayer maps, followed by another six in December. Interestingly, the game will include Kill Confirmed, which was not offered in the original release Watch our full discussion above! Modern Warfare Remastered is available with the Legacy and Digital Deluxe versions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, out on PS4 November 4. If you want to jump into the Campaign early, pre-purchase one of those editions from PlayStation Store. View the full article

Hi, I’m Zoe Flower — Design Director at Hellbent Games and Narrative Designer for our indie horror game Wick. I have to admit that I never thought I’d write a sentence that included my name with the word “horror,†being that I’m the biggest scaredy-cat out there. Turns out though, making a horror game is a whole lot different than watching or playing one. A year ago, I was merrily designing cotton candy colored worlds and stories for a LEGO game (About as far from horror as you can get!). But being an indie developer, you need to be quick to adapt. So when a publisher asked us how we felt about working on a big horror franchise, our Creative Director — and perhaps the biggest horror fan you could meet — jumped at the chance. Some of us were a little more hesitant… That’s not to say I hate horror games, having white knuckled my way through many a Silent Hill and Fatal Frame back in the day, even keeping my eyes open for much of PT (mostly out of respect for Hideo Kojima). But asking me to fully immerse myself in horror was a daunting task — part fear of facing what lurks in the dark and part fear that I lacked the skills to create something worthy of the genre. But as it turns out, beneath the cheery LEGO surface, apparently I am full of twisted malevolence and darkness (Yay?!). While we didn’t end up working with that publisher, I was suddenly hooked on making a horror game. Which of course presented a larger problem for our little studio. Nearly the entire team was heads down in production, save a couple of coders and designers out of a staff of 20. But there is something beautiful in the challenge of building games within tight parameters, and we began to brainstorm just what was possible with a small team with an even smaller window of time to build something. We had a month to prototype something meaningful. It wasn’t a tough sell to the team. Like any game studio, you throw out an impossible challenge and, after hearing “Can’t be done!†and “Designers are insane!†by the end of the week you usually have a multitude of possible solutions presented to you. Initially, we were compelled to make a rich story heavy adventure — Wick was almost an 80’s Babysitting Simulator (If you grew up in the 80’s, you can surely recall that particular horror!). Eventually, we narrowed our focus to a much smaller concept. It needed to be one environment with a high tension mechanic that offered replayability. We studied the body of work that is the horror genre (Hello, insomnia!) — particularly Creepypasta and other indie successes like FNAF. We saw a pattern emerge, with a surprising amount of experiences operating on rails and often set indoors to maximize claustrophobia. We loved the idea of being out in a forest (insert token Canadian joke here). But building horror without keeping the player on a single path presented a unique challenge. Can we make a game where you move how you like but the horror still finds you? And why are you scared in the first place? Lucky for us, humans tend to have common fears and we all agreed that being lost in the woods with creepy ghosts was definite nightmare fuel. But one environment, free-roaming, unpredictable horror with a high tension mechanic soon became the “impossible†challenge. For a solid week we battled “can’t be done†until our programmer Neil landed on the concept of keeping dwindling candles alight to create safe spaces in a level. The mechanic held instant appeal and the first concept for Wick was born. In its earliest form, Wick was a slow paced game of tense strategy, challenging you to locate fresh candles and place them around the level to create safe zones where enemies couldn’t reach you. But this iteration presented numerous design challenges — like how to define the radius of safety, what to do when players hid in corners or how to prevent a cheap kill from behind. It was also boring and not scary. To solve this, we designed a creepy, organic, forest level to set the right mood for horror (designed by Chris Mair, our CEO with just a tiny bit of pedigree in level design including Counter-Strike’s DE_Train). The woods in Wick are an unsettling maze of continuous loops and turns, making it hard to get your bearings. The big bonus with a free-roaming space is that play becomes unpredictable — a keystone for creating a great horror experience. As we began to explore our forest in first person, the candlelight mechanic changed dramatically. The only safety would be the light from the candle in your hand, making a much more intense solo experience that better supported the story that you are alone in the woods by the light of only a candle. We actually went out and did tests at night in the forest with just a candle. It is truly a harrowing and potentially deadly experience — mostly because you can’t see anything beyond your candle so you trip and run into blunt objects frequently. Wick uses a fair bit of poetic license. The next step was populating the forest with diminishing candles so that the player is encouraged to keep moving. Again, this sounded good in theory, but in reality you really have no idea where you are or where the candles are (they are procedurally generated on every playthrough) so you tend to run in circles until you get killed by something in the shadows. The tiny twinkles in the fog were a brilliant addition to the game — hinting at where a candle is without giving away its exact location. With a working candle mechanic, we had to face the much larger impossible problem of how to bring the scares to a player who is moving unpredictably through the level. We couldn’t guarantee they would cross any physical threshold to trigger an enemy or event. We couldn’t offer any narrative if we didn’t know where and when things would happen. Sure, we had a creepy level dotted with dwindling candlelight, but the gameplay was still only lurking in the shadows. It was our programmer Stephen Spanner who dreamt up the solution and built what would become the heart of Wick. The guy has a deep passion for system design and Dark Souls — both of which heavily influenced the final design. Wick can be highly stressful and punishingly hard, thanks to a deviously intelligent system that takes a variety of measurements from your play style, then decides what to terrify you with next. The event system in Wick guarantees you’ll likely never have the same playthrough twice. It also guarantees you will be terrorized no matter where you go. Candle light provides safety and keeps your fear metric at bay, but candles run out quickly. How much you run, how long you stay in the dark, and how quickly you cope with enemies all factor into just what the game will serve up. The power of the event system was a game changer for us. With a systematic approach, we found it much easier to design events and triggers that rewarded — and stressed/terrorized/punished/murdered the player based on how they approached the game. Within a month we had a solid core loop for the game! But there is no rest for the wicked — we still had no idea just who or what was hiding in our forest. Designing a believable urban legend is a unique process. I grew up in the woods of the Great White North and not a camping or canoe trip went by without rumors of a ghost/serial killer/lake creature/haunted cabin/missing kid, so I had plenty of material to draw upon. But of course, we had no time or resources to produce complex animation, or professional acting. And even the best cinematics can’t do justice to the horrors in your own mind. So we used that to our advantage. I really love the opening scene to Wick. It may not seem like much — a black screen with white type written to suggest a police officer’s file, teenagers talking over each other on their way to play some game called “Wick,†then straight into gameplay with no tutorial or explanation. While the scene feels simple, it is highly effective at suggesting a story without needing to tell one. Once in the forest, you start to see and hear the breadcrumbs of a darker tale. There are layers of story to explore if you aren’t too busy just trying to stay alive (Thanks, Dark Souls!). Using a “found footage†style with plenty of notes and strange objects — all accompanied by suitably creepy audio and dialog — we brought our urban legend to life. As for all the voices you hear throughout the game, we bribed, borrowed, and begged our staff (And their families… and friends… and even some local high school drama students…) to read for us. Chris — the same guy who is CEO and designer — is multiple voices in the game. The format was so effective that he had his son Maceo take up the torch in our “No Way Out†bonus chapter- recording over 800 lines of audio for “TBubber!†Of course, we couldn’t make a game that relied on the player’s imagination alone. Designing enemies was by far the biggest challenge in Wick. The story was getting darker and darker by the day, as I spun tales of deranged children and evil twins (strange because I actually have two kids and they are lovely). While writing the characters was easy, creating the look and the functionality for each child became a design and balance nightmare. Our core event system was potentially limitless but each event — whether audio, animation, encounter, or attack — had to be carefully thought out to ensure it worked in every scenario the player could put themselves in. “Can’t be done!†made a comeback in the office that week. Wick plays out by the hour as you attempt to survive from midnight to 6:00 AM. Initially, we tried just one enemy per hour. Then we tried increasing the number of enemies each hour culminating in a crazy hard “survive them all†level. But the ramp made the game feel too repetitive. Eventually we came up with the idea of mix and matching different kids together whose mechanics balanced each other in unique ways. You start out playing with Tim and later meet him again but now he’s in the forest along with Tom, or perhaps Lillian, creating a new strategy to how you play through that hour. We even built custom events where the enemies work together with joint encounters and attacks. After just 5 months, we found a balance and finished the game. The forest is rich in atmosphere (We love fog!) and the audio creates the perfect sense of mystery and dread. The enemies stalk and hunt you ruthlessly and there are clear paths to success if you can figure out a strategy. The game is punishingly hard and highly replayable. Wick isn’t a large game. Nor is it a perfect game. But it is a free-roaming unpredictable horror game where the scares come to you. Try and survive the night starting November 1 on PS4. A word of advice though… stay in the light. And as a tribute to overcoming the impossible, we dare you to unlock the bonus content in our No Way Out chapter. “Can’t be done!†you say?

Since we last convened, Here They Lie has crawled out of the shadows and into the collective psyche of PlayStation VR acolytes. A nightmarish trip full of malevolent creatures, hallucinations, out-of-body experiences, esoteric realms, and existential questions — all created to get under your skin, keep you up at night, and leave you terrified about your insignificance in the vast universe. Coincidentally, those are also all of the things I love about Halloween. To help fuel your Here They Lie Halloween nightmare even deeper, I’ve prepared 13 (my favorite number) recommendations of books and films that were big influences throughout development. Check them out at your own risk… 13.) The King In Yellow — Robert W. Chambers The King In Yellow was written in 1895. It’s still scary as hell. My definite go-to for early supernatural and cosmic horror. An inspiration for the dark, symbolic, occult overtones in Here They Lie, as well as the Hanging Theater you’ll encounter in the city. What color is Dana’s dress again? 12.) Upstream Color — Shane Carruth A beautiful, surreal, and extremely smart film. Upstream Color influenced the Dana character in Here They Lie, as well as the overall pacing and tone of the experience. The focus on foley and ambient tones were big influences on the sound design and musical score of Here They Lie. 11.) The Holy Mountain — Alejandro Jodorowsky I’d say that this film inspired the symbolic journey the player makes in Here They Lie more than any other work. An interpretive work which pushes the viewer into thought-provoking scenarios — inviting you to take a step back and compare them to your own life, your own understanding, your own decisions. Sound familiar? 10.) Beyond The Black Rainbow — Panos Cosmatos One of my favorite movies of all time, Beyond The Black Rainbow was a massive inspiration from the start of development of Here They Lie. The film’s usage of color, the strong composition of its shots, the slow plodding build-up of dread, and the raw, synthesizer-driven soundtrack were big influences for us. 9.) Funny Games U.S. — Michael Haneke This is a unique film because (spoilers) the villain/murderer is also the director of the film. He takes control of the film directly at certain points, breaking the fourth wall and rewinding to prevent the victims from escaping. This technique, along with the creepy upper-class psychopaths in tennis uniforms, were a strong inspiration for elements of Here They Lie. 8.) Naked Lunch — David Cronenberg Such a strange, wonderful, disturbing, amazing film. Naked Lunch’s twisted dance around the themes of sanity, guilt, addiction, lust, and self-worth inspired the journey of Buddy in Here They Lie. 7.) A Scanner Darkly — Philip K Dick Like many of Philip K Dick’s stories, this one asks some very strange and ultimately disturbing questions about physical reality, consciousness, and identity. He’s a master at lulling you into a false sense of security before unveiling the dark questions behind our existence. 6.) Eraserhead — David Lynch We are huge fans of all of David Lynch’s work, but this film was a direct influence on our visuals and narrative in Here They Lie. A disturbing film for sure, but also a strange symbolic discussion of existential themes. 5.) Baraka — Ron Fricke A beautiful work of cinematic art — Baraka was where we went for meditative inspiration throughout the development of Here They Lie. You can see and hear direct influences in some of the more surreal sections of the experience — like the scorched-earth desert space or the psychedelic boat ride in Here They Lie. 4.) Jacob’s Ladder — Adrian Lyne Another huge influence for us on Here They Lie — Jacob’s Ladder reminds me of moments in real life when things just don’t quite add up… when you see a shadow or a shape just out of the corner of your eye. This film inspired the dark psychological journey in Here They Lie, as well as the Subway/Underground sections of the experience. 3.) Antichrist — Lars Von Trier One of the most disturbing films ever created, but also one of the most beautiful, haunting, and dreamlike as well. Antichrist inspired the sequences with Dana, as well as the overall tone and symbology of Here They Lie. Careful with this one. Seriously… I warned you. 2.) The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath — H.P. Lovecraft It may be obvious when you play Here They Lie that H.P. Lovecraft is one of our big influences. This story from Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle is one of his stranger, more dreamlike incantations. There are many connections to this story in Here They Lie. There’s even a track in the soundtrack called Nyarlathotep. 1.) The Shining — Stanley Kubrick An absolute masterpiece of filmmaking — a true work of art, one of the best films of all time — horror or otherwise. This film works on so many levels — creeping under your skin and then up your spine as you tumble through its twisted labyrinth. The Shining inspired our take on horror in Here They Lie more than any other work. So, now that you know 13 of my dirty little secrets, which of these are your favorite? Do you have some more tasty recommendations?I can’t wait for you to jump into the PlayStation VR and experience the terror of Here They Lie for yourself. It could be the perfect accompaniment to your Halloween nightmare. And don’t forget the non-PSVR version of Here They Lie is coming later — stay tuned for more details! View the full article

If you can’t even save the one person you love, how can you save the whole of humanity? This is a question that really underpins Steins;Gate 0 and will resonate with Steins;Gate fans who saw mad scientist Okabe go back in time to save the girl he loves. The first time he tries, he fails. The second time, he succeeds. But what if there never was a second time? What if someone had stopped him from trying again? Steins;Gate Zero follows the story of a world line where Okabe fails to save Kurisu, and is forced to live with the consequences of his choice to sacrifice her. Six months later, he’s a broken wreck, taking medication, rarely meeting his friends. His only goal in life: to continue Kurisu’s work. But fate isn’t done with Okabe, when he discovers, early on, that Kurisu may not be as lost to him as he first thought… Steins;Gate 0 is a much darker, more somber story than Steins;Gate. The original asked you to repeatedly make a choice about how much you were willing to sacrifice to save Mayuri. Zero is a story about living with the consequences of those choices, even if they’re not necessarily what you want. There’s also a much bigger cast this time. I was a big fan of the original cast (I’ve had a small figure of Kurisu on my desk for the past 6 years!) so in my mind the new cast had a big hurdle to clear. I think that after finishing the translation, I like the new characters more than the old ones. My personal favourite is Maho. She is one of the most well-developed characters I’ve seen in years. Similar to Okabe in many ways, with a strong exterior personality that hides a heart that isn’t nearly as tough as she’d like it to be. Like Okabe, her life was forever changed by her interactions with the genius named Kurisu Makise, and I loved the way she grows and changes throughout the story. Over the last year I feel like I’ve really gotten to know the cast, like they’re a part of me. Localizing Steins;Gate 0 was a really big job — a 5 month project from the time we got the script to the turn-in date. We worked at it several hours a day, five days a week. The project came to us in the form of several massive spreadsheets, and we started at the beginning and worked our way to the end. From there, we gave it a second pass through to check for consistency issues and improve the general flow of the story. I’m not sure how many hours, all told, that it took, but it was a tremendous project, certainly comparable to the original in size. It was also a challenge to work on. First, it’s a science-fiction game with very accurate science, which means there’s a lot to look up to make sure that we’re phrasing it right. I know I spent a lot of time on Wikipedia looking at articles on artificial intelligence, brain science, and different time travel theories! Then of course, there’s the fact that it’s a very Japanese game, that’s written primarily for a specific Japanese audience who understand things that a western one might not. This was less of a problem than it might first seem for players of the original game, because Steins;Gate 0 is a lot more serious and has less of a focus on internet and otaku culture, and also because the game has a built-in dictionary to explain some of the more obscure concepts. The biggest challenge, at least, one of the challenges that I spent the most time thinking about, was actually one that fans might not expect: localizing Mayuri’s dialogue. Mayuri is a very unusual character, and she speaks in a very unusual way. She acts a little spacey, but she’s not stupid or ditzy, and there’s a nuance in her speech that betrays a caring and an awareness that you might not see just by looking at a direct translation of the words themselves. Because she’s such a critical character, getting her personality right was a high priority for me. Inevitably you come across things in the text that are tough to localize. It’s tempting to try to replace it with something similar that is culturally more filling — though we tried our best to avoid this wherever possible. The game’s setting and culture are extremely important aspects of the story, and we would be doing a disservice to the fans if we tried to overly westernize it. Fans of the first game’s translation should find that the level of westernization is one they’re very comfortable with, and that most of the more culturally obscure ideas are handled the exact same way they remember. For example, there’s one point in the game a specific Japanese word (Senpai, used to refer to an older girl at a school in this case) becomes important to the plot. Rather than trying to find a way to abstract this out and come up with an American equivalent, we left it in and added some very brief dialogue about what it meant, and what its usage meant to the characters. That said, I wrote the Steins;Gate 0 translation with a general console/portable gaming audience in mind. I wanted it to be very accessible and readable, no matter how much the player might know about the setting of the game, and I’m confident that we succeeded. One thing I’m often asked is how accessible it is to those who never played the original. I think missing out on this because you’ve not seen the anime or played the original is a mistake — the story really works on its own. The first Steins;Gate is now a seven year old game, and when the writers created Zero they were well aware that many players wouldn’t have beaten it. Steins;Gate 0 takes place in a world line where many of the events in the first game never happened, and it very quickly becomes its own story. While it’s a direct sequel, it assumes the player has no knowledge of most of what happened in the original, beyond the basic outlines of the plot. I would say that if you’ve seen the anime, read the manga, or have even been immersed in the fandom long enough that you think you’d be interested in the title, you have everything you need to know to get the most out of Steins;Gate 0. Steins;Gate 0 is a wonderful game, and I’ve seen many, many people say that they enjoy it more than the original. While it only requires a little bit of knowledge about the first game, it wraps up certain plot threads, and also answers what’s probably the biggest, most long-running mystery in the series. If you’re at all interested in this series, you owe it to yourself to check it out. View the full article

Hi everyone, I’m Ben from Pewter Games, an indie studio based in Dublin. The Little Acre is our upcoming adventure game. The Little Acre tells the story of a small family in 1950’s rural Ireland. During the game you’ll play as Aidan, a job-hunting engineer, and his young daughter Lily whose current life-goal is to be a swordfighting fairy-knight. Things in The Little Acre are not quite what you’d expect; when Aidan goes missing one morning, Lily decides to hunt for him and soon they both discover a mysterious world connected to their own. Who lives there? Why is the entrance in their garden shed? Do they have any hope of escaping? When talking about The Little Acre or demoing it, we always get asked about the art style. It’s all hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation that’s reminiscent of the work of Don Bluth, who created films such as All Dogs Go to Heaven and An American Tail. What do we mean by hand-drawn? Each frame of the animation is sketched, filled in with details and finalized. We have some computer help with coloring and effects, but every step, gesture, and expression starts with an animator’s hand. It’s labor intensive but the results are something really special. Our animators particularly like drawing animals. If you’re a dog lover or cat lover then the Little Acre has some furry friends for you. Of course, we mentioned earlier that things are not quite what you’d expect, and that applies to the animals, too. The game we’ve made is a traditional point and click adventure at heart, but we’ve also worked hard to make it feel just right for console players. There’s no pixel-hunting or awkward cursor controls on your DualShock 4 here. We’ve also included a hint system for any moments you might get lost — however, there’s a prestigious Trophy waiting for you if you can beat the game without any tips. We’re really excited to be bringing The Little Acre to PlayStation where there’s already some serious love for classic adventure games. We really hope you all enjoy The Little Acre when it lands on November 22. Have fun, everyone! View the full article

As ardent fans of Fumito Ueda’s past games can attest, the audio component of his projects – both sound and music – play a vital role in immersing the player in a rich fantasy world. Many gamers who hear the theme from the 13th boss in Shadow of the Colossus, for example, will immediately recall standing atop a sprinting Agro in pursuit of a gigantic snake like creature soaring over a barren desert. The aural presentation in The Last Guardian is no less crucial for achieving the full experience of exploring this new world with Trico. Determinedly composed, orchestrated, and conducted by Takeshi Furukawa and gracefully performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, Trinity Boys Choir, and London Voices at Air Studios, the music of The Last Guardian is laden with emotion — and often haunting. It powerfully complements the story of this boy and creature, alone amidst ancient ruins, working together as they seek a path to freedom. We’re happy to announce that a The Last Guardian Composer’s Choice PS4 Music App of the score featuring 19 tracks will be available separately at launch via the PlayStation Store. The soundtrack app supports both stereo and surround playback, and also allows users to export all the tracks as stereo MP3 files via a compatible USB drive. The soundtrack will also be available via iTunes at a later date. For audiophiles and collectors, a Vinyl release of the OST will be available in December. We’ll have an update on exact release timing and pricing for that version at a later date. Lastly, for owners of PlayStation headsets, a custom audio mode for The Last Guardian will deliver a fine-tuned audio experience engineered for maximum immersion. If you own a PlayStation headset compatible with the Headset Companion App, be sure to download and activate this special mode when you play! View the full article

Kemco has been a publisher for a long time, and many gamers may know us as a gaming company specializing in RPGs. Well, that’s true. Since becoming a global publisher we were looking for the chance to reach more fans of the genre, and we thought: why can’t we provide our RPG experience to PlayStation users as well? And here we are! We’re proud to announce that Asdivine Hearts, the first Kemco RPG on PlayStation, will hit PlayStation Store this winter on PS4, PS3 and PS Vita at the same time! Asdivine Hearts is a fantasy RPG where you travel a vast world with four companions to find out what is threatening the peace of Asdivine. We know that many users request cross buy support. Well, we’re also happy to announce that the game will support cross buy on all platforms! So if you get the game on PS4 or PS3 for your home, for example, you can enjoy the fantastic world of Asdivine while you’re on the train with your PS Vita as well! Through Asdivine Hearts, we hope more RPG fans are getting back to the golden age of RPGs. In the end, what’s the attraction of RPGs? A plot full of twists and turns, a vast world map that gives you the satisfaction of journeying, really weird characters (Have I ever met someone like an RPG character in real life? Well, apart from us here at Kemco, no one), towns with kind (or rude) people to interact with, and strategic turn-based battles with animated effects to let off your daily steam! Yeah, Asdivine Hearts has all the charm of a role playing game a core gamer demands which is packed into one full-fledged adventure! Not only that, you might even meet the strongest maid ever in gaming history! What? You’re still wondering if you should play Asdivine Hearts or spend time with your favorite pet? Well, no problem at all! In the case of Asdivine Hearts, you don’t need to choose since you travel with Felix, a talking cat that proclaims itself the light deity. Asdivine Hearts will also feature 15 Trophies to be collected in addition to the rich game content. The game boasts 40+ hours of gameplay with plenty of subquests, and a battle arena to challenge your skills — the sky’s the limit with the amount of the damage you can dish out. Now prepare to restore the light of the world (And never forget to restore the light in your room before playing Asdivine Hearts, too)! View the full article

The team at Respawn is very proud of what we accomplished with Titanfall and we’re excited to bring this experience to a brand new audience with Titanfall 2 when it launches October 28 on PS4. We’ll be introducing a thrilling, unique single-player campaign in addition to our rich multiplayer experience that’s unlike anything else out there. For new players, here a few general tips to get you ready for Titanfall 2 multiplayer. Titanfall is all about speed. Use Wallrun, Slide, and Double Jump to traverse hard to reach areas of the map. Use your mobility to create new flanking routes and unexpected angles of attack. Enemies expect you to keep your boots on the ground — surprise them. Many weapons are reliable when fired from the hip. Aim down sights for accuracy when you need it, but stay mobile when you don’t! Get kills, complete objectives, and steal batteries to speed up your Titan Timer and call in your Titan quicker. Networks are a great way to find and play new friends based on your interests and goals. Make sure to take some time to search for a Network that’s right for you or start your own! Now that we have the general tips out of the way, here are a few more for first-time Pilots: Hold down the grenade throw button to “cook†your grenade before throwing it. Tap Triangle to cancel the throw. Each weapon has it’s own feel, and situations that it excels in. Some reward careful distance fighting, others are great for point-blank attacks. The Pulse Blade ability reveals enemies to both you and your friends. Sometimes the right intel at the right time makes all the difference. The Arc Grenade slows pilots and titans down, giving you a chance to outmaneuver them. Avoid overheating the LSTAR, and you’ll never have to reload it. Watch your radar for enemy activity; they’ll reveal their locations when they fire their weapons. Ready to kick it up a notch? Try some of these advanced techniques to become a veteran Pilot: Canceling a Frag grenade throw will drop and roll it at your feet, ready to explode. Use this to surprise anyone chasing or lurking below you. Give a friendly titan a battery as you ride on top, and the shield that generates will protect you as long as it lasts. Use your slide move to boost around corners, catching enemies off guard and making yourself a smaller target. Set up your Titan with an Assault Chip and Warpfall for an insta-drop cavalry. Let it mop up your enemies as you go for the match objective. We can’t wait for you to play Titanfall 2 when it launches this week. Good luck, and we’ll see you online. View the full article

The first game in the ACA Neo Geo series is The King of Fighters ’94, which launches October 27 on PS4!

The King of Fighters ’94’s unique three-on-three battles and intricate special move systems had a massive impact on subsequent fighting games, and it gave birth to an ongoing saga that continues to this day with 2016’s amazing PS4 offering, The King of Fighters XIV. The following games will launch in 2016:* Metal Slug Samurai Shodown Alpha Mission II Fatal Fury World Heroes And the following games will arrive in early 2017:* Neo Turf Masters Nam-1975 Hamster will continue to work closely with SNK Playmore to not only choose games in the most famous franchises, but also to shed light on some cult classics and hidden gems.

The Infinite Fall and Finji teams are so excited to announce that Night in the Woods will launch on PS4 on January 10. After three years of development, our weird little game will be out and in your hands. Not your actual hands. It’s download only. 20 year old Mae Borowski has dropped out of college and come home to Possum Springs, a small rust belt town out in the middle of nowhere. She’s looking to meet up with old friends and resume her previous life of aimless hanging out and petty crimes. But the old places are now less familiar. Her former friends have grown and changed while she was away. Strange things are starting to happen. And at the edge of town, past the old, burned out basketball court, there’s something in the woods. Night in the Woods is an adventure game, one that is very focused on characters, dialogue, story, and exploring a big world that unfolds as you go. Among other things, it’s also about: jumping between buildings, feeding rats, and smashing lightbulbs behind the convenience store. How you choose to spend your time in Possum Springs will determine what things you end up doing and who you’ll get to know. You’ll need more than one playthrough to see all of it. It’s been more than two years since we announced Night in the Woods is coming to PS4, and we’re thrilled to share the final game with you. Stay tuned for more info and a brand new trailer as we approach launch, and we’ll see you on January 10! View the full article

It’s been almost 2 months since we launched The Tomorrow Children and already we have seen some great success thanks to the hard labor and commitment of our proletariat founders who quickly took to our cause. We have seen all sorts of activities from the players that we have never imagined before, such as a strange sea of letters, and 3D platformer-like play with the trampolines and also group picnics in the void. There have also been other such antics such as human ladders (when a player kneels and another player kneels on top of them and so on and so on until they are a strange human chain of kneeling clones leading up into the sky). And other people simply enjoy trying to stack boxes as high as they will go! The Tomorrow Children | PlayStation.com The community has been vibrant, and we have seen some surprising statistics since launch (as of 10/14/2016). Global StatisticsIzverg Destroyed: 1,716,528 Matryoshkas Revived:　999,139 Towns restored:　1,518 Top ranking player records (Cumulative):Resource collected：54,846 Izvergs destroyed: 15,981 Facilities built： 3,057 Number of Matryoshka revived: 5,040 Towns visited: 573 Missions accepted: 1,287 Puzzle completed: 4,423 Distance walked: 7,012,089 Number of bus rides: 3,687 Now, the moment is finally here! It gives me great pleasure to announce that that The Tomorrow Children will be free for everyone to download and play starting later today. Alongside it, we will also be releasing the “Frontier Pack†($19.99) which will come with the Bourgeoisie papers, Lv1. Arms License, Lv1. Tools License, EagleCorp Jetpack, 3 avatars and 500 Freeman dollars ($25 value) Those of you who are PS Plus members will also be provided with an exclusive costume! To celebrate this launch, we will be providing a bonus costume for a limited time! Login to the stage between Oct 26th – Nov 2nd 2016 in order to claim the costume. We have also released a major update to the game, not only to address some of the user feedback we have been receiving but also simply to add a selection of new content to the game. We’ll be adding new islands, tools, costumes, void powers, facilities, missions and much more. The megaphone, for example, allows for improved communication and will help players cooperate better. We look forward to seeing you in the void! View the full article

Did you know this Halloween there will be no moon in the sky? It’s been 19 years since the last time All Hallows’ Eve fell on a New Moon. What could be more creepy than spending an evening exploring an abandoned mansion without the moon to light your way? Visiting that mansion’s graveyard, perhaps! As you’ve already read, real world phenomena are important in Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon, out this week for PS4 and PS Vita. This is a game that seeks to blur the line between video game and reality. When you play during a real life rainstorm, it’s also raining in the game. If you play in the evening, it’s night at Blackbird Estate, the creaky abandoned manor in which the game is set. And the moon phase outside your window is the same in the game as well. There are mysteries, rare moths, and secret passages that you’ll only encounter during certain phases of the moon. The New Moon is particularly significant. So yes, this is your chance to spend Halloween seeking clues in stained glass windows and decrypting ancient stone etchings on the darkest of nights in a game that uniquely echoes real life. But there’s more. We programmed Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon to know what specific day of the year it is, too. And we created a little surprise that only appears the week of Halloween. While we were working on the game, we asked all of our fans for a particular type of Halloween submission, and we chose our favourite. You’ll have to find it for yourself in the sprawling Blackbird Estate, however. Much has been made of the game’s Platinum Trophy. Obtaining it will require devotion and cleverness far beyond what you’d normally expect. You see, Halloween isn’t the only time of year that changes Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon, and rainstorms and moon phases aren’t the only way that reality seeps into your game experience. Centuries ago there was a secret society called The Knights of the Buried Chambers whose membership included key figures of the Illuminati, the Freemasons, and the Order of the Asiatic Brethren. We researched this group thoroughly, and the secret society in Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon is modeled after them, faithfully depicting their rituals and customs. The game even features the cipher alphabet the Knights used to write secret messages! Doing your own research will reveal a whole new understanding of the game, explain what is afoot in the deepest levels of the story, and put you on the path to the real life mystery of the Knights of the Buried Chambers. There are certain events which only occur a few times every year. You will comprehend all of this and know how it fits into this fiendish puzzle before that Platinum Trophy is in your hands. “I thought Spider: Rite of the Shrouded Moon was an action game?†you may be asking yourself. Don’t worry. It is! You don’t have to pay attention to any of this nonsense to build your own webs, tackle hornets out of mid-air, or hunt insects. You never even have to understand the story of the family that once lived at Blackbird Estate, nor learn why The Knights of the Buried Chambers built the place. A real life spider wouldn’t care, so why should you? View the full article

We know gamers love collecting stuff but… sheesh. When we announced the PlayStation Collectible Cards program last year, we thought it would be a fun little diversion for fans attending PlayStation Experience 2015 in San Francisco, CA. Little did we know that people would become completely obsessed with finding all the cards peppered throughout the show. Attendees interrogated event staff, created deep Reddit threads, offered up their life savings and/or unborn children… all to find and nab as many different cards as possible. We wrapped up Series 1 of the PlayStation Collectible Cards with #36 (given out at The Road to Greatness tour) and #37 (E3 Experience). Now we’re ready to kick off Series 2 with cards #38 through #74, to be released at PlayStation Experience 2016 in Anaheim, CA, on December 3 and 4. These cards are limited edition and have spot foil printing, and you’ll never find the same ones anywhere else. We’ll give out PlayStation Trophy cards for accomplishing certain tasks during the event. You’ll find out how at the show via the PlayStation Experience app. And hey, you will get a Bronze Trophy card just by showing up — look for it in your gift bag. You can get other cards by visiting certain locations and booths on the show floor and playing game demos. Which locations/booths/demos? That’s for you to figure out (outside of the three we previewed above). But please, no need to empty any bank accounts here. The cards are free for any PlayStation Experience attendee, while supplies last. And if you’re late to the card-collecting party, don’t fret. At PlayStation Experience 2016, we’ll be selling a limited number of Series 1 deck reprints, only without the special foil overlay that the originals have. Everyone going to PlayStation Experience 2016 will also receive in their gift bags a special tuckbox to store their cards in. Our design team went above and beyond to create a really slick design for the deckbox this year. One last thing for the seriously serious collectors out there: make sure you stop by the merchandise booth at PlayStation Experience 2016. Besides Series 1 reprints, the store will be selling special PlayStation-branded binders to show off your obsession… er, collection. And don’t forget, tickets to PlayStation Experience 2016 are available now! See you at the show! View the full article
