  1. There is a world beyond yours, where economics and luxury collide with violence and power. Welcome to a world of assassination, a dangerous place of hidden violence where secret deals and bloody murder decides who holds power. It is a world where agencies such as the ICA work in the shadows to bring balance to the power struggle. The world of assassination is an expression of the ongoing game world we have built over the last 15 years at Io-Interactive since the release of the very first Hitman game. It is the setting for past, present, and future Hitman games. Episodic Storytelling and NarrativeHitman will launch on March 11th as a truly episodic game experience with a major live component. The episodic nature of Hitman allows us to craft both individual stories centred on Agent 47’s targets as well as longer season stories involving 47, Diana Burnwood, the ICA, and an entirely new main cast. The structure is inspired by contemporary TV series’ and will unfold over multiple seasons. To begin with, the overall story and the individual mission stories run in parallel but as the first season progresses, the tracks will merge and become one. Before That, the BetaThe Hitman Beta will be available first on PS4 starting February 12th. You can guarantee your access right now by pre-ordering either the Full Experience or Intro Pack via PlayStation Store. The Hitman Collector’s Edition will also include access to the beta, and full details on that are up on the dedicated CE page. Whichever version you choose to pre-order, you’ll also get the Blood Money Requiem Pack. As well as being the first to play the Beta, PS4 players will also get exclusive access to The Sarejevo Six. These are six bonus contracts that tell a self-contained side-story revolving around former members of a paramilitary unit called CICADA. Agent 47 will travel the world in pursuit of his targets, with one contract available in each location from the game. The first PS4 exclusive contract will be available when the game launches on March 11th. We’re calling it “The Director.†Your target is Scott Sarno, Director of European Operations for the CICADA private military corporation. He is a thirty-year veteran of clandestine operations and has been linked to a number of questionable operations in Europe and the Middle East as far back as the mid-nineties. He is highly trained and incredibly observant, you should expect him to be accompanied by several CICADA agents at all times. We’ll see you on February 12th for the Hitman Beta! View the full article
  2. Today’s the day! PS4 owners get first dibs on the first DLC pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Awakening, launching today on PlayStation Store, delivers four new epic multiplayer maps in addition to an all-new Zombies experience. To celebrate the occasion, we wanted to create a definitive launch-day resource. Read on for the full details, and see you on the field. DLC BASICSWhat’s included with the Awakening DLC? Awakening delivers four new multiplayer maps in addition to an all-new Zombies adventure called Der Eisendrache. Which platforms will the Awakening DLC be available on? Awakening will be available on PS4 starting February 2nd, 2016 in North America. It will not be available on PS3. The Awakening DLC may not be available in all territories and pricing and release dates may vary. How do I access the Awakening DLC? Awakening will be available for download on PlayStation Store starting February 2nd, 2016 for $14.99. You can also choose to purchase the Black Ops 3 Season Pass to gain access to all four DLC Map Packs planned for the year, including Awakening, as part of a discounted bundle offered at the suggested retail price of $49.99. Will I get Awakening if I purchased the Black Ops 3 Season Pass? Yes, Awakening is included in the Season Pass. If you purchased the DLC Season Pass for Black Ops 3, do not purchase Awakening as a standalone DLC Map Pack — you will be charged separately for it. The content is available as a free download to Season Pass owners from within the Black Ops 3 in-game Store. DLC CONTENTWhat can you share about the new competitive multiplayer maps? The four new maps featured in Awakening inject new variety in the Black Ops 3 multiplayer experience that will challenge and delight players of all levels. Gauntlet delivers three unique environments within one action-packed map. Showcasing Treyarch’s classic three-lane map structure, the map transports players into battle through a sprawling jungle, sub-zero arctic zone, and rainy urban cityscape. Splash is set in an abandoned water park that includes dynamic environmental features such as waterslides, a wrecked pirate ship, and a lazy river. This map encourages an open flow of combat and allows for plenty of opportunities for underwater gameplay. Rise is set in the snowy outskirts of Zurich, smack-dab in the middle of a construction site for a massive subterranean Coalescence research campus. This larger map features multiple engagement areas, with each section catering to different play styles. Skyjacked soars high above urban Zurich in a re-imagined, modernized take on the popular Black Ops 2 multiplayer map Hijacked. Thanks to the new core movement system featured in Black Ops 3, this map gives players new ways to explore the environment while retaining the fast and frenetic gameplay that made Hijacked a fan favorite. What can you share about Awakening’s new Zombies experience? Black Ops 3’s Zombies DLC adventure begins with Der Eisendrache (“The Iron Dragonâ€). Set in a chilling medieval Austrian castle during World War II, Der Eisendrache picks up where The Giant left off and continues to follow the classic cast of characters: Richtofen, Nikolai, Takeo, and Dempsey. The ancient site on which the castle sits was the scene of unspeakable horror where massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been discovered. Will Der Eisendrache introduce any new weapons or gameplay mechanics? There will be elements of low-gravity, an ancient bow that can be upgraded through mystical quests, and new ways to transport yourself around the map. OTHER QUESTIONSWhen will the next Black Ops 3 DLC be available? We have no details to report at this time. Please continue to monitor callofduty.com and PlayStation.Blog for updates.

  4. From PS Vita to PS3, the Neptunia series has transformed every dimension on the way, but what’s new and improved about the series’ next installment: Megadimension Neptunia VII? Well, luckily you’re on air with “Iffy’s Nepstation,†straight from Idea Factory International! I’m Ari, your host/blogger and today I’ve put together a list of 7 reasons players are going to love Megadimension Neptunia VII — which is out today on PS4! I. Neps in HDD and in HD! Need I say more? It’s the first Neptunia game on PS4! From SP skills to each of Nep’s signature victory poses, the game flows in smooth 1080p! II. NEXT Forms NEXT forms are the third installment in this series’ signature feature: cute transforming heroines. These are the coolest (and strongest) transformations yet in the whole Neptunia franchise. The NEXT forms come packed with elaborate SP skill animations and amazing transformation sequences, and each goddess’ transformation is directly inspired by the nation they protect. I mean, just how cool is wearing a Mario-esque hat with wings or an HMD while you hack n’ slash through dogoos?! III. Even more ways to “Nep†Up the Baddies New additions to the battle system like “Giant Battles,†“Parts Break,†and “Formation Skills†add extra strategy and action to the classic Neptunia turn-based battle system! Giant Battles take players to a whole other realm to duke it out with larger-than-life bosses, and Parts Break allows players to seal certain enemy parts so their attacks can be disabled. When placement matters and when damage is solely relayed through SP Skills, EXE drives, and cooperative attacks, Megadimension Neptunia VII transforms the Neptunia series into more moe and battle than before! IV. Neplunker Neptunia is known for its game references and allusions to pop culture, but this time they’ve taken mini-games to the next level! “Neplunker†is a mini-game, completely separate from the main game, with elements of the classic “Spelunker,†and just as it sounds, the Neps must venture through the Neplunker dungeon to win special items! V. Uzume & Umio In good ol’ Neptunia fashion, the down-to-earth Uzume kicks butt in her HDD transformation, Orange Heart, alongside her fish-face sidekick-in-crime, Umio! And that’s reason enough for me to love this surf n’ turf duo. I should mention, Uzume’s weapon is a megaphone and it doesn’t get cooler than that. This allows her range to fan out before her, and she can definitely wham more enemies that way! Meanwhile, Umio is just dandy. VI. Gold Third In the game they’re known as the “New Rulers of Gamindustri†and play a huge role in the second part of the game, Hyper Dimension. But for me, these girls look as fun as they are to play because all of their attack combos and skills are a reference to popular Japanese game series and developers. They’re every bit of eye-patched-jetpack-wearing-sword-slaying goodness you ever needed! I mean, just look at them! VII. Stories, Worlds, and Good Things Come in Three Speaking of Gold Third, the story is broken up into three parts: Zero Dimension, Hyper Dimension, and Heart Dimension. Each world has its own Nepic plot and focus with new characters like Uzume and Umio. It really takes the Neptunia series’ storytelling to the next level! There’s even separate endings you can achieve… so I’d save often if I were you. So there you have it! Seven awesome reasons to check out Megadimension Neptunia VII. Get the game today on PS4 Be prepared: there’s even more nonsensical dialogue, more item customization, and tons of battle strategies waiting to Nep you up, all packed into one game. And as something to look forward to, I give you… Umio wearing an Umio eyemask (my favorite DLC item)! Expect more awesome DLC like this (e.g. Playable Umio, playable Nepgya, and Trillion: God of Destruction costumes), set to release weekly in the next few months to come. Lastly, cut to the trailer! Thanks for reading my maiden blog and let’s chat in the comments below! View the full article
  5. Because Saints Row IV and Saints Row: The Third both landed in the Top 10 most played games on the service in 2015 (see below), it’s only fitting that more Deep Silver titles like Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell should find their way into the PlayStation Now subscription catalog this month! Your PS Now subscription gives you access to a host of Deep Silver games — some added today. Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell (New) After the antics of Saints Row IV, many fans asked what they could do next. The answer? Shoot the Devil in the face. Play as either Johnny Gat or Kinzie as you tear apart Hell in a quest to save the Boss’ soul. Historical icons, old friends, older enemies, a talking gun, a full length musical number, and a whole lot of other shenanigans all await you in this open-world, standalone expansion playground. Saints Row IV The epic conclusion to the game that changed all the rules! The Saints have gone from the crack house to the White House — but the Earth has been invaded and it’s up to you to free the world from Overlord Zinyak and his alien empire. With homies new and old by your side, and an arsenal of superpowers and strange weapons, you must save the world in the wildest open world game ever! Saints Row The Third Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks, and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to a new city. Saints Row 2 Fifteen years have passed since your former Saints crew betrayed you. As you awake from a coma, you find the Stilwater you once ruled is in disarray. Unfamiliar gangs have laid claim to your territory, rival factions have taken over your rackets, and cash-hungry corporations have laid waste to your once proud 3rd Street home. Now is the time to seek revenge against rivals to reestablish your crew as the rightful kings of Stilwater. Escape Dead Island (New) Escape Dead Island is a Survival-Mystery adventure that follows Cliff Calo, who sets sail to document the unexplained events on Banoi. Arriving on the island of Narapela, he finds that not everything is as it seems. This title lets players delve into the Dead Island universe and unravel the origins of the zombie outbreak. Escape is just the beginning.

  7. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… TT Games began one of the most epic journeys of all time with the first LEGO Star Wars game in 2005. Now, 11 years later, we’re finally able to reveal that we’ve been working on LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens! LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens | PlayStation.com It’s a massive honor to be able to work on a game tied to the incredible Star Wars universe; there are a lot of people at TT Games who hold Star Wars close to their hearts with it being the starting point for the LEGO games — myself included. We’ve covered the Original Trilogy (LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy), Prequel Trilogy (LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game) and The Clone Wars (LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars) in great detail before, but now we get to jump ahead to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which brings a whole host of incredible new locations, characters, Droids, and vehicles. Have a look at our awesome announce trailer above… perhaps it might look a bit familiar to you! One of the most amazing parts of all of this is being able to work with Lucasfilm to create new game content with the characters and locations from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, told in a way that only LEGO Star Wars can. Through a strong collaboration with Lucasfilm, we’ve been able to create new stories and adventures connecting the Star Wars narrative, both before and tying into the movie. As such huge fans of the franchise, it’s a tremendous honor to have that privilege. As part of this, we’re pleased to share that PS4 and PS3 players will have access to exclusive downloadable content in the form of a Droid Character Pack and Phantom Limb Level Pack. We can’t go into too much detail right now, but we can’t wait for people to experience the content from the film, as well as new stories in Star Wars: The Force Awakens! Everyone at TT Games is looking forward to revealing more of LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens over the coming months. In the meantime — May the Force be with you! View the full article
  8. Hi, I’m Paul Coleman. I’m the Chief Games Designer on Dirt Rally and I’m also a rally co driver when I’m not making games. Dirt Rally is a labor of love for me and the development team — and our passionate community has been very vocal in their requests for us to bring the game to PS4. So I’m incredibly excited that we’re bringing Dirt Rally to PS4 in April, and you can all start setting those leaderboard-topping stage times. For starters, let’s cover 10 things you probably didn’t know about Dirt Rally. We record the co driver calls live in a D-Box motion seat while the stage is being driven. This maximizes the sense of speed and impact in the co driver’s voice. We even use a Stilo crash helmet and intercom system to make sure that the recording sounds as authentic as possible. Our level design team have had their fair share of adventures while away on their research trips. They’ve trodden on tarantula nests, been bitten by hornets, and have even been chased by angry Finnish farmers brandishing pitch forks. Our vehicle artists go into so much detail when they are modelling the vehicle interiors that they even capture the hand and finger prints that are left there by the vehicle owners. We have a selection of special Daily Events that reference things we teased on social media prior to launch. Keep an eye out for the #ThrowbackThursday event… The WWGFD? Trophy is actually a reference to one of our Community Members called Greg Flinchbaugh. When we were in the early stages of developing Dirt Rally, Greg posted an awesome response when we asked “What do you like best about rally?†From that point onwards we always asked ourselves — What would Greg Flinchbaugh do? Watch out for local wildlife crossing the road on some stages. You can see a fox in Wales, a squirrel in Finland, and a moose in Sweden. Neil Cole who does the voiceover for the Rallycross spotter is actually one of the presenters of the FIA World Rallycross broadcast. He spends most of the race weekend in the spotters tower doing post race interviews. The driver model in the game is actually Jon Tucker who worked with us as our vehicle handling consultant during the development of Dirt Rally. The co driver model is based on me because I also voice the co driver calls in game. One of the working titles for Dirt Rally was Dirt Pulse. If you look closely you’ll find a queue for one of the toilets in the Sweet Lamb Fan Zone in Wales. We do love queuing in Britain. View the full article
  9. By popular demand, Vote to Play is back and the voting begins on February 9th! The candidates include Action Henk!, Assault Android Cactus, and Broforce. The game that secures the most votes will be added to the March monthly games lineup for PlayStation Plus members. Action Henk!Publisher Curve Digital and developer RageSquid have put together a light-hearted racer where you run, jump, and — yes — butt-slide your way through a host of toy room environments with past-their-prime action figures. It’s a game where timing and momentum are key as you attempt to outdo your opponents as well as your own past performance. How can you not love a game with the tagline “Butt-slide to victory?†Assault Android CactusWhile the mechanics of this twin stick shooter will be familiar to many, developer Witch Beam has created a unique battery mechanic (in lieu of lives), providing a fresh experience that helps Assault Android Cactus stand out from the crowd. This one also supports Shareplay, a “virtual couch†that lets a friend join your game for up to an hour at a time, creating an online local co-op experience. According to designer Sanatana Mishra, the goal with Assault Android Cactus was to make a game that he and the rest of the team wanted to play. BroforceWhile we didn’t know it at the time, Broforce is the game that we always wanted as we cheered beloved 80’s-era action heroes on to victory. Publisher Devolver and developer Free Lives have teamed up to deliver part irreverent spoof and part loving homage to what are now classic movies and classic games. With its online co-op experience and over-the-top presentation, there’s a really great game here that deserves the heaps of praise it’s already received. The thread that brings these three games together: fun titles that can connect the Plus community to play together with friends. For me, personally, one of the sweet spots in game design is a title that provides casual fun for almost anyone who picks up the controller, while providing a depth of mastery for those who want to push the game’s mechanics to their limits. We hope that you’ll enjoy learning about each game and the developers behind them before casting your vote. Starting February 9th, if you’re a PlayStation Plus member and you want to cast your vote, simply log into your PS4 with your PSN account and access Vote to Play under the dedicated PlayStation Plus section on the top left corner of your PS4 home screen. You can also go to What’s New or visit the PlayStation Plus section of the PlayStation Store, where you’ll find details for Vote to Play. We look forward to seeing your votes! View the full article

  11. Since the reveal of our first playable demo of The King of Fighters XIV at PlayStation Experience 2015, we know a lot of fans have been starving for more content. In line with the recent Taipei Game Show, the dev team is pleased to detail our latest character reveals! I’m happy to let the PlayStation Nation know that fan favorite characters K’, Benimaru Nikaido, and Robert Garcia will be returning to the ring in King of Fighters XIV’s massive roster of 50 characters. Benimaru NikaidoFirst debuting as an original King of Fighters character in ’94’s Japan Team, along with his distinct hairstyle, Benimaru “The Shooting Star†Nikaido is known to be one of the most flamboyant characters in the KOF Universe. His lightning powers will make him a formidable opponent against any rival! Robert GarciaA classic Art of Fighting Team member, this memorable latin lover of powerful kicks returns to KOF once again! A suave practitioner of Kyokugen-ryu Karate (and Osaka-dialect, hehe), his lavish style is sure to attract many players.

  12. Grab your gym shorts and hang onto your headbands! Our hard-hitting sports brawler Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is coming to PlayStation 4! Stikbold is a quirky, over-the-top action sports game described best as a mix of dodgeball and a fighting game. Make use of everything from dodgeballs to jellyfish in order to eliminate your competitors as you duke it out against friends and family on a variety of unlikely courts. Or, team up with your best friend, favorite relative, or even the A.I., and venture out on an exciting co-op adventure in the charming story campaign. Fight your way through hippies, whales, skeletons, and more as you set out on a selfless rescue mission to save the rival team and win back the championship trophy! The original concept for the game came about during Nordic Game Jam. We were five eager game design students from IT-University in Copenhagen and we joined forces around the strange experiment that eventually became Stikbold!. Stikbold! received the “most fun†award and came in 3rd overall. This encouraged us to continue work on the game, with the goal of turning it into a full-blown console release. To pursue our dreams we formed a company and began a long and exciting journey! Stikbold is actually the name of a Scandinavian folk game often played in schoolyards and at playgrounds during recess or Physical Education. Like most folk games, Stikbold has a ton of variations and abbreviations, but is always a type of tag played by chugging balls after each other. Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is a very loose interpretation of its folk game counterpart. Mainly we have focused on cultivating the foundations of folk/playground games, which are typically very playful, festive, and inclusive by nature. In this spirit, we try to give players increased agency and responsibility over the action and outcome of the matches to make the game feel more personal. For instance, players may take control of various hazardous events after elimination from the round. Apart from giving eliminated players something to do between rounds, this is an encouragement for them to intervene with the balance of the action. Whether players opt to chase revenge on their nemesis or target the leading player, this influence often leads to wonderfully personal player interactions. Making the action personal is an attempt to play into the social dynamics of couch multiplayer — a feeling we hope is coming through when you’re playing the game. View the full article
  13. Hello everyone, my name is Hiroshi Matsuyama, CEO of CyberConnect2 and I am beyond excited to say that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 will be released very soon on PS4! February 9th, to be exact. We made a really exciting announcement for Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 today that I wanted to share with our fans on PlayStation.Blog. About an hour ago we officially announced the Sound Four DLC pack, which will bring the long awaited Sound Four Ninja to the Ultimate Ninja Storm universe as playable characters. I know that these characters have been highly requested for a long time and we are excited to finally bring them to our fans. We have been hard at work to make sure that The Sound Four are very unique to play as. The team has been pouring over countless manga issues and anime episodes to create the best versions of The Sound Four possible! Please look forward to The Sound Four DLC pack in the coming months. The team here at CyberConnect2 has worked closely with Bandai Namco for many years now creating great Naruto games for fans around the world. However Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 will be a turning point for us and we knew we had to make this game go beyond fan expectations of what an Ultimate Ninja Storm game could be. First off the bat is the roster. Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 has the largest roster of characters we’ve put into a Naruto game. If you have a favorite Naruto character, chances are he or she will be playable! The development team has been hard at work creating cool and interesting concepts with a lot of the characters. These range from characters “Awakening†into different forms with all-new attacks and completely different playstyles, to new combo attacks, hidden techniques, and Combination Secret Techniques that require players to use specific characters to unleash amazing attacks. I was even surprised when I saw the team’s proposal regarding the new character line-up. One of the biggest changes to the gameplay is the dynamic between main team leader character and sub-characters. In previous games your team of three characters consisted of the main party leader and two sub-characters that players could summon for assist moves during the battle. Now players can swap between all three characters during the battle to be used as the team leader bringing with it a host of new strategies for team formations and battle tactics. It’s an incredibly useful tool to help hone and improve your skills. So far I’ve been chatting about characters and battles but I’d be crazy not to mention the superstar of the game, Story Mode. We take you all the way through the 4th Great Shinobi War to the final battle between Naruto and Sasuke. I may be a bit biased, but when all the pieces come together; atmosphere, animation, art, special effects, gameplay, and music, I feel like it’s a work of art. The final battle is so amazing it even made me cry. Everyone here at CyberConnect2 is ecstatic to have Naruto fans around the world get their hands on Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. Everyone on the team has a strong connection to the Naruto franchise and it has been our honor to have long time fans and people who may have never seen an episode of the anime come together and experience Naruto in a totally unique and interactive way for all these years!

  15. I’ve only played it for a couple of hours, but Primal is shaping up to be one of my favorite entries in the Far Cry series. In our new episode of PlayStation Underground, PlayStation Powerhouse Ryan Clements and I go spears-on with Ubisoft Montreal’s bold new open-world epic. By now, you surely know the Far Cry formula. Set adrift in an exotic land, you must hunt wildlife, scavenge for supplies, and reclaim enemy territory in a desperate quest for survival. But Far Cry Primal’s prehistoric predisposition makes it a vastly different beast from its predecessors. Set 12,000 years ago in an overgrown Central Europe populated by dire wolves (!), humongous wooly rhinos (!!), and towering mammoths (!!!), Primal represents the series’ biggest creative departure since the well-loved Blood Dragon. Ubisoft Montreal definitely deserves credit for trying something different here. You play as Takkar, a hunter stranded in the land of Oros following a mammoth hunt. Rather than fire RPGs and glide around on wingsuits, you’ll hurl spears and train the local wildlife to fight alongside you. You can still collect plant and animal items to upgrade your weapons, but also new resources like fat that you can use to set your weapons ablaze. You’ll recognize plenty of side missions from prior Far Cry titles, but the prehistoric setting adds juicy new gameplay wrinkles. Dire Wolves bothering you at night? Try setting a bush ablaze to scare them off. Enemy tribe hunkered down near a key mission objective? Send your spirit owl in to mark their locations from above. Seriously, you have a spirit owl. And it’s awesome, like the Stone Age answer to a UAV. Though you’ll want to get real handy with your bow and arrow, Far Cry Primal also puts a large emphasis on training animal sidekicks. With enough practice and the right bait it’s possible to coax sabertooth cats, cave bears, and other fearsome critters onto your side — each with their own strengths, weaknesses and roles both in and out of combat. The game hits PS4 on February 23rd. I’ll be playing. Will you? View the full article
  16. I’d like to invite you on a journey. It’s a journey of courage and discovery in a haunting, lonely world. As a child there were a few games that changed my life. Their stories changed how I thought about the world and how I thought about myself. Their journeys are ones that I still remember to this day. What I love most about games as a medium is that they can take you to a world you’ve never seen and let you discover it on your own. At Insomniac, inventing new worlds is probably the best part of our job. You might have been inside one of them before. Maybe it was a magical world of dragons, or a fantastic science fiction galaxy. Or maybe it was crazy city where the apocalypse became your playground. We’ve been hard at work on a new world. This one is built on a fantasy that I think we all share. The fantasy of the terrors and wonder that might lie in the depths of the sea. The endless possibilities that could be just outside our view, and the still undiscovered nightmares that might lurk in the deep. It’s a world where everything is interactive in surprising ways. Where every new area has its own secrets and mysteries for you to discover. The story is about love and heartbreak. It’s about going on a seemingly impossible journey to try to help someone you love. It’s the journey of a girl named Merryn in a game we call Song of the Deep. In this game you’ll explore a huge undersea world, both free-diving and in a submarine. It’s a metroidvania style of progression where you are constantly getting new abilities and figuring out ways to upgrade them as you take on the seemingly impossible obstacles that stand in your way. It’s a challenging journey, designed to test your mind and your reflexes in equal amounts. Making the game has been a labor of love for our team, and we hope it will be a journey that you too will love and remember. Song of the Deep will launch this summer on PS4. You can check here for updates, or the Insomniac Games website and our social channels. View the full article
  17. We Are Doomed is a twin-stick shooter where you zap polygon baddies with an absurdly overpowered laserbeam. It’s pure arcade action: no cutscenes, no storyline, no lengthy tutorials. It’s a perfect fit for PS Vita, and you’ll be able to get your hands on it soon: February 9th, 2016. It also supports cross buy, so if you’ve already enjoyed We Are Doomed on PS4 you’ll get to play it on-the-go absolutely free. One of the great joys I’ve had is checking out the incredible scores that the PlayStation community have achieved on PS4. So for the PS Vita version, I decided to put together a tips guide. Maybe it’ll help you make it to the top? Collect Trinkets, Then Superbeam!Collecting Trinkets (the purple cubes and diamonds) does two things: increments your score multiplier, and fills the Superbeam meter. The basic strategy is to fill the meter, wait for a screen full of baddies, and then trigger the Superbeam to wipe them all out (at 2x the points, no less). But here’s the catch: once you fill the meter, you can’t bank any more Superbeams. So the longer you hold off finding the perfect moment to use it, the less potential you have for filling up the meter again. Like everything in life, finding the right balance is essential. Positioning is KeyPlaying fast and aggressive is important, but so is staying alive! Always be aware of your position relative to the enemies. The enemies are designed to swarm the player, so watch out! Learning the enemy tactics will help you better position yourself and prioritize targets. A few specific tips: Asteroids generally can’t be destroyed, but if you’re in a bind, firing the Superbeam will do the trick. Blasters (the yellow projectile-firing enemies) are aggressive but largely stationary. As long as you keep track of where they all are, you can delay taking them out and maybe collect a nice looking Trinket instead. Tadpoles seem harmless, but they dash quickly and multiply in number even faster. Even when it looks safe, keep your distance! Practice!Above all, We Are Doomed is a skill based game. There is no levelling and no upgrades, just your skills improving over time. If you want to get better, you need to get better! And that takes practice. So it’s a good thing you’ll have your PS Vita on you all the time, eh? We Are Doomed is coming to PS Vita on February 9th, 2016. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope to see even more fantastic scores on the leaderboards soon. PS: If you’re already a We Are Doomed fan (thx! <3) and want tips on something more specific, ask away in the comments and I’ll try to answer as many as I can! View the full article

  19. When my brother, Anatole, and I first hatched the plan to make a game independently, we never imagined where it would take us. We started off thinking about the kinds of games we grew up with and how much fun playing games together has always been. We love old-school action-platformers and games that let you experiment creatively with how you solve problems, so combining those ideas was essential. It’s fair to say we’re influenced by classics like Chaos, Lemmings, Worms, Gears, and Little Big Planet, but we wanted to push it further with totally destructible environments and fluid dynamics. What came from that vision is our debut title, Organic Panic, which we’re beyond excited to announce is coming to PS4 this March! Organic Panic is a physics-based puzzle-platformer that pits the main food groups against each other in a chaotically fun and lighthearted battle royale extravaganza! What brings all the madness together is the incredible D.A.F.T. (Destructible and Fluid Technology) Engine. Anything goes, because nearly every environmental element (characters, platforms, enemies, weapons, etc.) can be controlled and manipulated in some clever way. Earth can be smashed through, wood floats and burns, lightning conducts, ice slips and melts, water flows and douses fire, rubber bounces, acid disintegrates, and the list goes on! Basically you’re left to your own devices as to how to use all the powers and physics at your disposal. It’s a seriously big game with more than 200 highly refined and totally destructible levels of action and puzzles, but we keep it fresh with new worlds and game modes to explore. The single-player quest is driven by a comedic story, but we’ve also got local couch co-op and versus modes for up to four! The controls are straightforward enough that you can easily pull newcomers in, but there are still enough tools for hardcore players to discover their own unique strategies to go for gold on the leaderboards. We’ve had quite the adventure with Organic Panic, from our successful Kickstarter to shows like PAX Prime, PAX East, and IndieCade. We’ll be at PAX East with the game again this year, so feel free to drop by to say hi or play a quick match — we’ve got lots of freebies left over from our Kickstarter to dish out! Watching people play the final product is always so cool for us. We designed most of the levels with multiple ways to solve them, so we still see people figure things out in ways we hadn’t even imagined. I watch my son play it and he rips through them in crazy ways (he’s 6 now, though he’s been testing the game for 3 years already — child services should have really been knocking at my door a long time ago for that much labor!). This type of genuine freedom to brainstorm your own solution to any problem is the backbone of Organic Panic, and it’s why we can’t wait to get the final product in your hands. You can join the food fight when Organic Panic arrives on PlayStation Store for PS4 in March! View the full article

  22. Welcome to the world of Dangerous Golf, a game coming to PS4 this May. I’m Fiona Sperry and I co-founded Three Fields Entertainment with partners Alex Ward and Paul Ross in February 2014. We’re a small, independent British studio comprised of veteran developers from Criterion Games, Ubisoft, and Disney. We’re no strangers to blockbuster games having worked on the entire Burnout series, Black, and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit over the past fifteen years. Our small but extremely talented development team has more than 150 years in game development experience. For our first title, we wanted to make a wild, physics-powered experience that harnesses the gameplay, technology, and power of PS4. We also wanted to focus on what we do best — which is making fast, fun, and spectacular arcade style games. Dangerous Golf is just that. It’s as serious a true golf game as Burnout was a serious simulation of real driving. We wanted to see what would happen if we mixed the attitude of Burnout with the destruction of Black whilst powering up a golf ball and setting it on fire — a clear nod to NBA Jam, one of my all-time favorite games. This type of fast gameplay has always been part of our DNA and it’s something we hope you’ll enjoy playing. In Dangerous Golf, you’re not striving for Par or aiming for a Birdie — you’re playing for points awarded for causing damage. It’s about smashing the place up and then banging the ball into the hole by pulling off an outrageous trick shot. Break enough stuff and you can power up the ball, turn it into a fireball, and steer it around for a limited time to try and smash more stuff. There are more than 100 holes to attack in a series of indoor and outdoor locations. Make a huge mess in a hotel kitchen, destroy a glittering palace ballroom, or even set fire to a rural gas station — the choice is yours. Despite the fact that Dangerous Golf is a fun and silly game, it has a serious technical edge. We’ve been working closely with the guys in Epic’s Unreal Engine 4 team and Nvidia to deliver a truly physics-driven game. We’re a small indie team but we’ve got big ambitions. We like to shatter expectations, bring silliness and joy back to game development, and have a lot of fun in the process. Get ready to play dangerously this May! View the full article
  23. Hi, PlayStation Nation! My name is Alex Monney and I’m the communications manager for Perfect World Entertainment. Our team here at PWE and friends over at Tuque Games are thrilled to unveil Livelock, launching on PS4 this year. Livelock is a fast-paced, cooperative, top-down shooter based in a post-human world where machines are waging an infinite war against each other. Livelock takes place in the 22nd century following a catastrophic gamma ray burst that wipes humanity out. The world has now been taken over by Rogue Clusters — groups of mechanized armies that have taken over control of different territories following the corruption of their data and are waging war against each other. In order to prevent this, SATCOM, a highly sophisticated satellite Super A.I., is awakening backups of human consciousness known as Capital Intellects, who have been inserted into large machines built by humans before the gamma ray burst. When thinking about Livelock, our teams looked to create something that brought us back to the fun and camaraderie of the arcade days. A game that presents a challenge for even those experienced video game players. While you’ll have a variety of tools to succeed at your disposal, refining your abilities, thinking tactically, and working cooperatively are the only ways to overcome some of our most challenging content. Think less of a bullet hell top-down shooter and more about overcoming overwhelming odds. With our announcement today, we are also revealing our first of three playable characters — Hex. Prior to a catastrophic gamma ray burst in the 22nd century, Hex was a renowned e-sports professional who became feared by many as he honed his craft. He was also one of the first to participate in a risky experiment to upload his consciousness to a database, which was later uploaded to a machine by SATCOM following the catastrophe. We’ll have a lot more more Livelock to show as we build towards launch including the announcements for our other two Capital Intellects. View the full article
  24. Hello all, I’m Kevin from DreamSail Games and I’m excited to announce that our studio’s first game, Blade Ballet, is coming to PS4 this Spring. Take a look at our trailer to see our four-player, whirling robot deathmatch in action. Blade Ballet indulges your heart’s deepest, hidden desire of controlling adorable robots as they spin, slash, and stab each other to bits. Each bot taps into a unique slice of our team’s crazy ideas about futuristic combat. Sneaky cheaters bypass shields. Demolitions experts bent on destruction hurl explosives across the screen. And my personal favorite smashes its competitors with a giant wrecking ball. The battle arenas are even more insane than the bots. Crush your friends on indoor ski slopes while dodging robo-trees and surprisingly dangerous cardboard cutouts of humans. Battle in an AI storage core and use giant push-button lasers to obliterate each other. Master each level’s mechanics to emerge from brawls victorious. Humble BeginningsBlade Ballet didn’t start out as a “real†game. One night at PAX Prime, our programming team made a quick demo of two cubes that could move and spin, possessing swords and the ability to destroy each other. We ended up playing that little prototype for hours, satisfied by the graceful kills we executed even as awkward little cubes. When we got back to the studio after PAX, we decided to spend some time building out the concept and eventually put it into full production. Five months later, we’re thrilled to be nearing the finish line. What the Future HoldsWe made this game with brawler multiplayer in our hearts. All of us here at DreamSail have fond memories of smacking controllers out of our friends’ hands and taunting them with our real-life victory dances, and we’re excited for Blade Ballet to create even more of those moments. PlayStation has shown great support for indie multiplayer fighting games on PS4, and we’re proud to be in good company. DreamSail is invested in building a community to bring people together to play great multiplayer games. We’re also excited to take our game beyond the couch, and are hard at work putting together an online mode. We have way too many ideas for bots and arenas to get them all in before launch, so we will be supporting Blade Ballet with content for months to come. These bots and arenas will be included with the original game, so don’t worry about going over to a friend’s house and not having a full roster. We’re cramming tons of stuff into the game over the next few months, so follow our development and let us know what you think. At DreamSail Games, we care most about multiplayer experiences and creating games that are best played with others. We think our bot bash battler is a great way to introduce you to what we have to offer. Look for Blade Ballet this Spring on PS4, and thanks from all of us at DreamSail for reading!

  25. The Witness is out now. I’ve played and finished Jonathan Blow’s eight-year opus (twice!), but I still haven’t discovered all of its deepest secrets. I’d advise anyone playing The Witness to go in as blind as possible, but having become relatively knowledgeable about the game I’ve come up with six pieces of advice I’d like to share with you. These tips will not spoil anything about the game’s story, locations, mechanics or secrets. Rather, they’re simply things I wish I had known when I first started playing. Enjoy! The Witness | PlayStation Store 1. Stock up on graph paperYou’re gonna need it. Sure, you might be able to solve most of The Witness’ puzzles in your head, or by workshopping ideas directly on the panel you’re working on, but there are a number of challenges that will be very, very difficult to solve without a pen and paper for anyone with an IQ under 150. 2. Use that Share buttonBuilding off the last point, there are lots of things you’re going to see in The Witness whose function may not be immediately apparent. As luck would have it, PS4 has a built-in screenshot button! Take lots of notes, not only with that graph paper I mentioned above but in the form of visual reminders you can refer back to when you inevitably experience one of those “wait a minute…†moments. 3. Play with headphones(Or a very good sound system.) There may be no music in The Witness, but its sound design is some of the best in the business. Not only does the game’s already-impressive sense of isolation really kick in when you’re enveloped by its top-notch ambience, certain sounds are subtle enough that you won’t even notice them without a nice, loud setup. 4. Don’t overthink itWhen I found myself struggling with a particular puzzle in The Witness, all too often it was a simple case of assuming the solution was going to be more complex than it ended up being. Think back to what you’ve discovered that area’s ruleset to be and try to attack it from different angles, rather than falling into the trap of continually elaborating on an assumed solution that just doesn’t seem to be cutting it. That said, some of these puzzles are merciless, which leads me to my next point… 5. Don’t be afraid to walk away…You’re going to get stuck. I promise. The difference here is that getting stuck in The Witness is okay, maybe even intended by its creators. Thankfully, since you have instant access to most of the island right from the get-go, you’re never trapped in any sort of linear progression system. Feel free to give up on a particularly challenging puzzle and explore elsewhere for a while — chances are something you do somewhere else will make that missing solution *click* into place. If all else fails, simply coming back to it with a set of fresh eyes will likely help. Finally, you don’t need to complete every puzzle in the game to reach its conclusion, so if one’s got you well and truly stumped, don’t feel like you’re reached a dead end. 6. … But don’t give upThis one’s going to be tough, but please do everything you can to avoid spoilers for The Witness, including solutions to puzzles or explanations of mechanics. So much of The Witness’ magic lies in the sense of discovery and accomplishment that you experience when finding a new area, solving a puzzle you thought for sure was impossible, or finally activating one of those weird laser beam things. Like I said before, you’re going to get stuck. You’re going to want to look up the answer, “maybe just for this one puzzle†to keep things moving along. Don’t do it. You’re only going to be able to experience The Witness for the first time once. View the full article
