    The last time I wrote to you, we came to the shocking end of the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn storyline and opened a pathway to the Holy See of Ishgard in the game’s very first expansion: Heavensward.

    Following the announcement of Gran Turismo Sport at Paris Games week, the 13th annual Gran Turismo Awards quickly followed at the Marquee Nightclub inside Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. Held during the SEMA Show, the 2015 GT Awards sought to find the best cars from five different categories (Best Truck or SUV, Hot Rod, Domestic Automobile, Asian Import, and European Import) by calling on experts from the automotive media and industry tastemakers. Of the thousands of vehicles shown at SEMA Show this year, the automotive media experts narrowed the five category selections down to the following: Best Domestic – 1970 Dodge Charger Judging Expert – Autoblog Best Euro – 1985 BMW 535i Judging Expert – Hoonigan Best Import – 1973 Datsun 240Z Judging Expert – Super Street Best Hot Rod – 1978 Ford Mustang Hard Top Judging Expert – Bangshift Best Truck – 1968 Chevrolet C10 Pro-Touring Judging Expert – Truck Trend Network In the end, Gran Turismo creator and series producer, Kazunori Yamauchi selected the 1973 Datsun “Fugu Z†240Z owned by Sung Kang of the Fast and Furious film franchise, and built with Greddy Racing and partners. Transplanted with a NA RB26DE, with a Pademo body kit by TRA Kyoto, the Fugu Z started as a good excuse for Sung Kang and his buddies to hang out and build something together — the result was a perfectly-executed SEMA build with a raw, yet classic feel to it, along with the right balance of modern upgrades and styling. “Winning the Best in Show for the Gran Turismo Awards is surreal on many levels,†said Sung Kang, the actor known for his roles in the Fast and Furious film franchise and owner of the Datsun 240Z. “The Fugu Z started off as an idea between a few friends and myself to stoke our passion for cars. Thanks to Kenji Sumino, the Greddy team, and other partners, not only did that idea come to fruition, the response to our Z build at the SEMA show was overwhelming. And now with our Fugu Z winning the Best in Show for the Gran Turismo Awards, I’m honored that we’ll be able to share the car with the rest of the world as a playable vehicle in the game.†“Greddy has won Best Asian Import for the Gran Turismo Awards three times prior to this year, but we always came short for the coveted ‘Best in Show,'†said Kenji Sumino, President of Greddy. “This year, with Sung Kang and his team’s vision for the build, thoughtful planning and tireless hours from the Greddy crew, and to our amazing partners who contributed to the build, we are honored not only to take home the fourth category win, but the Best in Show award!†Stay tuned, Yamauchi has confirmed that Kang’s Fugu Z will come as a playable vehicle to the Gran Turismo franchise on PS4.

    In Nuclear Throne, your goal is simple: reach the Nuclear Throne. It’s a brutal mix of fast-paced, top-down action, random generation, permadeath, and player choice — and honestly, you probably won’t stand a chance. More than anything, the result of your run will be seven simple words: “You did not reach the Nuclear Throne.†To the two of us at Vlambeer and the four others who have been working on the game for the past 2.5 years, there’s something exciting about making a game that’s intentionally mean to you in every possible way, without becoming unfair. When we set out to make this game, we wanted to make a game that would be fun to play for us as its creators — something even we couldn’t fully predict. Nuclear Throne did that, and then we made it harder and added more content. We continued adding little mean things to the game until eventually our gaming skills were pushed to the absolute limit. We didn’t stop pushing until we saw that dreaded “Did Not Reach†pop up because of mimics we forgot about while playing, or enemies that snuck up on us and ended our runs with a single well-placed hit. In Nuclear Throne, you choose one of twelve mutants to reach that Nuclear Throne. Each of them has a passive and an active ability — sometimes simple, such as a temporary shield or higher ammo drops, and sometimes ridiculous, such as interdimensional airstrikes and the ability to fight on as a headless chicken after you die. When you get better at the game, you will get access to their own powerful Throne Butt or even more powerful Ultra abilities for your current run. A mutant can carry two weapons at once, and there are approximately 125 weapons in Nuclear Throne. Some of them are the usual fare, pistols, machineguns, screwdrivers, laserguns — and some of them are completely over the top — things like gatling sluggers, super plasma guns, and the golden nuke launcher. Either way, power isn’t everything — the more powerful weapons take longer to reload and use more ammo, and if you run out of ammo, you’re going to have a pretty pathetic end to your run. As you kill enemies and bosses in the wastelands, your mutant will gain radiation — or rads — that help your mutant achieve mutations. There are almost 30 mutations in the game — but you’ll only get to pick from a random selection of four at any time. Some of them are fun, some of them are practical, and some of them are very situational. Scarier Face is a good one to come across, because it lowers the health on every enemy you come across. Impact Wrists — which increases the force your weaponry has on enemies, slinging them further away — works wonders when you’re playing with the mutant Melting, whose active ability allows you to blow up corpses from a distance. Or you might want to avoid Euphoria when you’re playing as Crystal, because her shield ability reflects bullets, and Euphoria slows down all projectiles in the game. And that’s just the core of Nuclear Throne. As you struggle to figure out a way to beat the game’s areas and bosses, there are dozens of useful and less useful secrets to find — things called crowns, secret characters, areas, endings, cursed weapons, and all sorts of mysterious meta. There are dozens of ways to enhance your run, or to make it harder. And if you feel like you’re ready to show off, we’ve got you covered, too. Play couch co-op with a friend, or participate in our daily challenge and a weekly challenge to show off your skills against everybody else. Nuclear Throne will have an exclusive console launch on PlayStation platforms, and we’re looking forward to seeing how you do not reach the Throne. View the full article

    My love of the Mass Effect series brought me to BioWare in 2012. I’ve connected to it on an emotional level I never thought possible with video games. I still recall the pivotal moments throughout the trilogy with fondness, and think about all the time I spent with the Normandy crew, laughing, crying, and saving the universe. I remember the tingles I felt after becoming the first human Spectre. I remember the excitement of pursuing a romantic endeavor with Liara… then Miranda… then Tali (my Shepard broke a few hearts along the way, apparently). I remember fighting the human Reaper in a state of genuine panic. I remember “M4 (Part II)†by Faunts playing as the credits rolled, and I caught my breath. I remember leaking a few tears after my final goodbye with Garrus: “Go out there and give them hell. You were born to do this.†There’s no Shepard without Vakarian, after all. If you’re a Mass Effect fan, there’s a good chance more than one of my memories puts a smile on your face. You’ve got plenty more of your own, no doubt, and that’s why N7 Day was created: a day each year for us to come together and share the stories, fan art, cosplay, and moments that touched our hearts. This N7 Day, we invite you to be a part of the celebration by using the hash tag #N7Day. Now that you know my passion — what does Mass Effect mean to you? View the full article

    Treyarch’s Zombies is still my all-time favorite co-op shooter. It’s a chilling challenge that pits you and some friends against relentless waves of zombies. Your arsenal: constant communication, careful teamwork, and whatever firearms you can scrounge from the all-important Mystery Box. It’s demanding of its players but, in the end, an immensely rewarding experience that always pays off. With the release of Call of Duty Black Ops III and its new Shadows of Evil Zombies experience upon us, it seemed like a perfect chance to take a look back at how Treyarch’s vision has evolved throughout the years. And, naturally, get a peek into its future with Shadows of Evil. Chug a Juggernog, load your Ray Gun, and watch our in-depth discussion with Call of Duty: Black Ops III Zombies and Campaign Director Jason Blundell to learn how it all began. View the full article

    It’s almost time! This December 5th and 6th at PlayStation Experience in San Francisco, you’ll be surrounded by a sea of shiny new playable PlayStation games. But hidden amongst them, the panels, and all the announcements lurks a secret metagame that few of you will complete. Are you up for the challenge? At PlayStation Experience 2015, we’re introducing PlayStation Collectible Cards — think baseball cards except with way more aliens, superheroes, mechs, and tentacles. (And there’s an actual baseball card in the mix, now that I think about it.) PlayStation Collectible Cards represent some of the coolest brands and franchises in gaming, and we hope you enjoy snatching them up as much as we enjoyed making them for you. We’re releasing the first 35 cards of the series right here at PlayStation Experience 2015, though if you count the rare and common versions of certain cards, you will end up with 66 total. It’ll be next to impossible for anyone to collect them all, but I’m sure that won’t stop some of you from trying. Get Tickets & Book Hotel How do you nab these cards? Simple: Go play some games. We’re not revealing which booths or events will be giving them away, but you’ll find out just by exploring the show floor (or by asking for a little help from fellow attendees). As for tracking down those rare cards, you’ll have to figure that out on your own as well. Just make sure to look in your gift bag for a free tuckbox to store your new deck in! But there’s another, secret layer to this collectible game that we can’t reveal just yet. Let’s just say that you’ll want to poke your head in every corner of the Moscone West hall to unearth more precious collectibles. Stay tuned for more details. Please note: All PlayStation Collectible Cards are in limited supply. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. We’ll have lots more PlayStation Experience news to share with you soon. Coming in from out of town? Be sure to check out our discounted rates at quality San Francisco hotels located very close to the show. View the full article

    When the Star Wars Battlefront Beta fell into the hands of eager players, the heat of battle was a striking contrast to the freezing landscapes of Hoth. Ever since the planet was first shown in the original film trilogy, Hoth’s barren landscapes and the secluded Echo Base has been truly iconic and unmistakably Star Wars. Senior Environment Artist Pontus Ryman has spent a lot of time with the digital snow of Hoth, and after the Beta ended he was pleased by the community’s verdict of their experiences and his extensive work put into it. Let’s ask Pontus some questions, and you can also experience all the planets of Star Wars Battlefront in the new Star Wars Battlefront Planets Experience. What were the community reactions on Hoth after trying out Walker Assault in the Beta? We were quite overwhelmed by all the positive reactions to how our recreation of Hoth turned out. Our goal was to have players immersed in the gameplay and environment through the visual and audio aspects of the Hoth environment, and the fans really took this to heart. It’s been great to see players praising the fantasy of fighting in a real, snowy environment, feeling the chilly winds of Hoth. We’ve really been pushing for player interaction and immersion, with the harsh environment affecting all senses of the player in all the Star Wars Battlefront planets. We want to make the player feel connected to the planets, and I think this really comes through in the other Hoth map variations at launch, along with the other immersive planets. What was it like to capture the real world environment for Hoth? Hoth has always been about an epic battle within a vast, barren environment. I think we’ve captured both aspects quite well; you can traverse the huge landscape while it feels dangerously cold and barren, but when you hit the trenches or interiors you’ll witness chaos, sparks, and explosions. We’ve worked hard to portray what we felt and experienced during our research trip to the original filming location at Finse in Norway. The trips were incredibly tough physically, trudging through waist-high snow and extreme blizzards with tripods and equipment, with the icy temperatures taking its toll on both us and our cameras. What tools have been essential for creating Hoth? We’ve used the coincidentally named Frostbite engine for this, along with several other different tools and systems. One component we have developed is the ability to affect the world with weathering specific to each planet. This is used in a way to have the environment affect the player’s clothes, weapons, and props. For instance, the longer a player moves through a snowy environment, snow will gradually build up on the characters and their weapons, while the snow then starts to dissolve as they enter an interior. If an explosion goes off nearby the player their weapon and clothes will be covered in snow. This system extends through all of our environments, with other examples such as mud splashing up on characters in the Endor forest, only to be washed away when they run around in the river. This is just one example of new tools or techniques used to fully immerse the player in the environment. How did you tailor the planet to fit all Star Wars Battlefront game modes? Hoth, as we see it in Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back offers a great range of indoor and outdoor environments that play very well to our gameplay needs, but we also expanded on this to introduce other interesting locations for different gameplay modes. A close-quarter game mode like Blast or Cargo makes perfect sense in the tighter Hoth caves and Rebel Base, while the larger prominently outdoor environments designed to portray a more chaotic battle like Walker Assault and Supremacy is a great fit for the classic vast landscapes of Hoth. You can expect to experience a lot of variety when playing on all the Hoth maps across the various game modes Star Wars Battlefront has to offer. Pack a blaster and your warmest Rebel or Imperial uniform and we’ll see you on this frozen battlefront starting on November 17th. View the full article

    When Transformers: Devastation was announced, long-time fans were understandably excited. The Generations-inspired visuals and PlatinumGames’ distinctive combat mechanics are a perfect pairing, like pizza and video games. And the fact that many of the original actors reprise their iconic roles after such a lengthy hiatus makes Transformers: Devastation even more significant. It’s the game that Transformers aficionados have been waiting for. But the Transformers universe is massive, containing dozens of highly specialized robots. And after spending so much time perfecting Devastation’s five playable characters, the folks at PlatinumGames wanted to dig a little deeper into the franchise’s catalog. So, they put together a swanky DLC pack, containing a trio of character skins and three Decepticon-destroying weapons. Here’s the rundown: Nemesis Prime and the Dark Star SaberAnyone who’s familiar with Transformers lore could probably give you a little backstory about Optimus’ human-made clone, Nemesis Prime. He has all of Optimus Prime’s strength, but he’s controlled by the evil Decepticons, so he lacks Optimus’ principles. Though, he does have tinted-red windows and a slick, black paint job. So, he looks sweet. And instead of Optimus’ trademark Energon-axe, Nemesis wields the Dark Star Saber, a glowing sword that quickly reduces enemies to scrap. Nobody makes a purple sword look better than Nemesis Prime. Red Alert and the Photon DisruptorRed Alert is the Autobot’s Security Director, but he’s a little on the paranoid side. In Transformers: Devastation, he makes up for that paranoia with the Photon Disruptor, a powerful weapon that gives him an advantage during ranged battles. Goldfire and the Golden HunterBumblebee is one of the friendliest-looking characters in the Autobot lineup, but his Goldfire skin gives him a slightly more threatening appearance. And when he whips out the Golden Hunter Weapon, a pair of highly polished hand cannons, Bumblebee becomes downright dangerous. Even though the weapons have been personalized for Goldfire, Red Alert, and Nemesis Prime, they can be equipped by any of the playable characters. So, if you want to see Wheeljack take on Devastator with the Dark Star Saber, go right ahead. The Transformers: Devastation DLC will hit PlayStation Store on November 10th. View the full article

    Hello, Bloodborne fans. The brand new nightmare, The Old Hunters expansion (which requires the full game), will be unleashed on November 24th. It brings with it a host of new content and improvements, but it’s not the only exciting news for Bloodborne. An upcoming patch will offer all players exciting new features in the original game, including The League, additional co-op NPC hunters, and more. The League is a band of Hunters who have taken an oath and are bound by a single purpose. By aligning yourself to The League, led by a mysterious figure in a constable’s garb and bucket helmet, you can assist other players online in the game and compete in The League’s online rankings leaderboard. In addition to The League, players will also be able to use The League cane and summon co-op NPCs within the game, perfect for tackling challenging areas and bosses. To whet your appetite for the upcoming expansion, here is a sneak preview of one of the many brand new weapons available as part of The Old Hunters. Behold the Holy Moonlight Sword. Do you have what it takes to wield its mysterious power? Don’t forget you can pre-order The Old Hunters here before November 24th to get a bonus PS4 Theme. Or if you haven’t played Bloodborne yet, get the game plus pre-order the DLC for just $49.99 right here. As a special treat for all you hardcore Bloodborne players who have already earned your Platinum Trophy, or are close to unlocking it: in the very near future we will be sending out voucher codes for an exclusive PS4 theme to Platinum Trophy holders. There’s no other way to get your hands on this theme other than to master the game. Stay tuned to PlayStation.Blog for additional information about the patch and The Old Hunters expansion DLC.

    Hello again! I’ve spoken in-depth about the concept behind Alone With You before right here on the PlayStation.Blog, but today I want to show you some more concrete information on gameplay with this new trailer, and tell you when you can finally play this special new game. Here’s a quick recap if this is all news to you: Alone With You is a single-player, sci-fi adventure game for PS4 and PS Vita, and it has a pretty unique romance element. It’s the follow-up to my previous game, Home, which is a horror game devoted entirely to letting you tell your own twisted story through its narrative-based adventure mechanics (it’s available right now cross buy on PS4 and Vita as well). If Home was a monologue that you, the player, got to deliver, then Alone With You is a dialogue between you and the game — you’ll be constantly interacting with, and relying on, your AI companion as you embark on missions to get items and info you need to escape a doomed terraforming colony deep in space. Watch the brand-new gameplay trailer and you’ll spot a few things — another of sound designer Ivor Stines’ groovy in-game tunes, and the mood-setting new level art by background artist Gavin McCarthy. You’ll also see what you’ll be doing throughout the game’s 12+ missions: exploring ruined environments of your failed colony, interacting with the world to solve puzzles and discover information, and scanning important items that your AI needs. You’ll trek through beautiful, varied areas — which include a series of communication towers, the dilapidated Colony B, the workspaces and staff quarters of the facility’s agricultural operation, and the various components of the planet’s mining and processing centres. As you do so, you’ll be in constant communication with the AI, who acts as your lifeline and your tour guide. It’ll give you info on all the things and places you find, but it’ll also speak to you — asking you questions and responding to your answers. And if you’ve ever played Home, you’ll know: sometimes even the smallest decision can have unexpected consequences. But the AI isn’t the only other character you’ll have contact with. There are four people you’ll become intimately familiar with: Winnie Laurier, the colony’s comms expert; Pierre Tong, its genius director; Leslie Bharadwaj, the Agro-Domes chief, and Jean Lumumba, the facility’s resource manager. There’s a catch, though: they’re all dead. Through the magic of the colony’s holo-sim chamber, you’ll visit these four key people posthumously as you complete your missions. By speaking with them, you’ll learn more about the colony before the disaster, and about their personal lives — how deeply, of course, depends on you. Alone With You’s romance element is, as you might expect, a little different. You don’t manage stats, and you don’t need to grind extracurricular activities to try to make time with your favorite people. As you play, you’ll get to know all four of these important colonists — but at times, you’ll also choose to spend some extra processing cycles with whoever most catches your fancy. And as with Home, this is a story that you control — what you do within the various missions affects these “dates†and vice versa. Alone With You is a game that listens to you as much as you listen to it. So when can you finally get your hands on Alone With You? Spring 2016 — a little later than I’d originally planned, but it’s the perfect time for a brand new story of love and adventure. But you can get your hands on the game sooner than that — if you’re attending PlayStation Experience in San Francisco in December, you’ll be able to play a special demo and see what romance is like at the end of the world, all for yourself.

    Hello, everyone! Today I’m here to tell you about our newest game Poncho — a fascinating new platformer that launches today on PS4. Poncho is a game that we at Rising Star Games saw and instantly fell in love with. After seeing Poncho’s grin-inducing aesthetic and giddy mix of genres we knew it was something we had to snap up! Made by the talented three-man team at Delve Interactive, Poncho is an open-world, parallax platformer with some seriously grand ambitions. Now I know what you’re thinking — what the heck is a parallax platformer? Good question, attentive PS Blog reader! What we call parallax platforming is the result of Poncho’s unique ability to manipulate depth, allowing him to hop between the background, midground, and foreground of the game at will. This interesting gameplay mechanic demands that the player possesses a knack for platforming precision as well as some puzzle solving smarts, resulting in a mechanic that is easy to understand but difficult to master. It turns out though, that Delve Interactive weren’t content with implementing just one awesome mechanic (I told you they were ambitious), so they also decided to build a completely open world for players to explore! The guys at Delve Interactive understand that as well as brilliant visuals and gameplay, the world its characters inhabit has to feel alive. Poncho achieves this by allowing players to interact with every little creature they see, with every area in the game containing randomly generated ecosystems of mysterious beings and robots that react to every movement Poncho makes. Unsurprisingly, Delve Interactive also weaved a wonderful story into the world of Poncho. The premise behind Poncho starts with a robot, which you find waking with no memory in a strange, and desolate world, with nothing on his person but a strange and ancient artifact from a bygone era — a red poncho. The little red Poncho quickly becomes the robot’s namesake and our hero goes on a journey to discover what tragedy has befallen the world around him. The soundtrack is also a huge part of what makes Poncho such a fun and immersive gaming experience. An amazing chiptune score composed by co-designer Jack Odell brings even more life and personality to the detailed pixel-drawn world. As you can tell, the whole Rising Star Games team are very excited about the game’s release today — and we hope that you enjoy the game as much as we do. Thank you very much for reading about Poncho… now go and play it! Enjoy! View the full article

    Hey, everyone! It’s finally time! After three long years of nonstop development by five indie developers, Dragon Fin Soup is finally ready to be served! For those of you who haven’t heard of Dragon Fin Soup, you can check out our previous PS Blog posts here and here, or just let us give you a refresher Dragon Fin Soup is a tactical-action RPG with roguelike elements set in a twisted tongue-in-cheek fairytale world. Inspired by those ingredients, the game features a 2D top-down camera and fluid turn-based movement that allows you to set the pace. Dragon Fin Soup seamlessly blends genres to create a fresh experience: half story-driven tactical RPG and half high-stakes roguelike, with a pinch of crass humor and a heaping helping of murder & madness set in a procedurally generated fantasy world. Meet Red Robin, a charming, raging alcoholic bounty hunter who would rather get into a bar fight than deliver baked goods. Players must take up Robin’s blades and set out across Asura — a lushly colorful, fantasy world that sits on the back of an enormous space turtle — on a journey to discover the secrets of her bloody past. Warning: This game is not for the casual player and can be highly addictive! We really went overboard with Dragon Fin Soup and threw in everything we found fun: Superfluid turn-based tactical combat Raging alcoholic bounty hunter heroine Traces of dark majesty from the original Grimm tales New procedurally-generated world each time you play Mercenaries for hire and awesome pets to collect Over 60+ hours of gameplay in Story, Survival, and Labyrinth modes Gorgeous 2D world, all created by award winning artist Randis Albion Dragon Fin Soup is the first of what we hope to be many RPGs we create and share with you. With your patronage and support we will continue to expand the world of Dragon Fin Soup and listen to your feedback. To show our everlasting appreciation, enjoy these HD wallpapers painted by Randis Albion! You can download them here. We are very excited to finally be launching our baby and hope you enjoy Dragon Fin Soup as much as we enjoyed making it. If you’re on the fence as to whether Dragon Fin Soup is right for you, have no fear! Here is a candid in-depth gameplay showcase from PAX Rising 2015. View the full article

    Hi, I’m Joe Faulstick from 2K – and I’m excited to officially reveal that we’ve been working hard on bringing a great, strategic experience to PS Vita on December 3 with Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution 2 Plus. If you’re not familiar with the Civilization Revolution games, but love turn-based strategy, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Basically, in Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution 2 Plus, you can build up a civilization from scratch with an interface designed specifically for touchscreens and consoles, or follow along with specific scenarios and see how well you fair against historical world leaders. Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution 2 Plus, coming exclusively to PS Vita, introduces a number of scenarios, units and world leaders coming from Japan’s history that you won’t find anywhere else. In one particular scenario (“Journey to the Westâ€), you’ll use TaiZong against Saladin (AI) to capture Byzantium. The other scenarios, “Wrath of Emperor Kublai,†“Samurai Invasion of Korea,†“Z-flag Swirls,†and “Dark Clouds in the Pacific†all take place at different points in Japanese history. And the same goes for the new Japanese leaders we introduce in this game: Oda Nobunaga: Focused on medieval era/samurai bonus Heihachiro Togo: Naval combat related bonuses Himiko: More diplomatic related, governmental related bonuses Personally, my favorite is the new Japanese unit – the Yamato battleship. If you’re a history buff like me (or just have fond memories of the Anime, Space Battleship Yamoto / Star Blazers), this unit is particularly cool. For reference, the Yamato class ships of Imperial Japanese Navy World War II battleships were feared on the open sea. They were the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,800 tons at full load and armed with nine 46 cm (18.1 inch) 45 Caliber Type 94 main guns. (From Wikipedia). In our game though, the Yamato has much improved attack strength, at the cost of compromised defense capability, compared to normal battleships. Anyway, if you’re ready to conquer the world, one bus stop (or plane ride) at a time, keep an eye on PlayStation Store‎ for Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution 2 Plus. View the full article

    The brutal pace and ferocious gunplay in the Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End multiplayer suite was recently detailed by one of Naughty Dog’s Lead Game Designers Robert Cogburn here on PlayStation.Blog. But his team’s work was perhaps best showcased by this increasingly out-of-control footage that debuted during the PlayStation press conference at Paris Games Week. Uncharted 4 drew long lines on the show floor as players sampled the competitive component for the first time, and I was happily among them. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End | PlayStation.com This early build of Uncharted 4 competitive packed in characters from across the Uncharted series — a crucial pillar in Naughty Dog’s approach to multiplayer this time around. Nate, Sully, Elena, Cutter, and other familiar faces smirked and scowled from the loading screen. Although the final version of the game will have a more robust loadout editor, I picked “support†(I do love being helpful) and brought Elena into the field (#TeamElena). As Cogburn illustrated in his post, the biggest new additions to the Uncharted multiplayer are the Sidekicks, Mysticals, and the grappling hook. All things that I failed at using properly while being shot in the neck. Matches are immediately compelling, as teams move through maps together and establish “fronts†in order to exchange fire and explosives with the opposing side. This highlights Naughty Dog’s map design, which facilitates intense battles between sides and an ever-changing firefight that makes nearly every moment worthwhile. Ducking and weaving behind cover, opening fire on your enemies, leaping from the lethal range of a grenade — all of it felt great right from the start. As was the case with previous Naughty Dog games, Uncharted 4 demands teamwork (and competency) from its players. A team of stray soldiers will be gunned down in seconds, whereas a coordinated group can move fluidly through cover, help downed friendlies, and survive the match much more efficiently. The Paris Games Week demo only scratched the surface of what Uncharted 4 multiplayer has to offer. If you want to try it for yourself, you can play the beta on December 4th with a purchase of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, or swing by PlayStation Experience in San Francisco and come play with us! I’ll be the one dying a lot. View the full article

    Hi everyone, I’m pleased to be back on the PlayStation.Blog to give you a heads up about how we’re celebrating Halloween with Until Dawn. The latest update to Until Dawn has added 11 hidden pumpkins throughout the game that will only appear around Halloween. We’re challenging you to find them all. They aren’t all easy to find and you might have to move the camera around to spot all of them. If you find one, take a screenshot and tag it with #UntilDawnPumpkin. We’ll be keeping an eye on how many people spot them and will retweet some of our favourites – so get searching! Until Dawn | PlayStation.com We’ll also be doing a Director’s Commentary live-stream on October 30th through the PlayStation Events introduced in version 3.0 of the system software. Tune in to watch us play Until Dawn and talk about how we created certain scenes and what we were trying to achieve. The guys at PlayStation have also created a new Until Dawn theme for PS4 being released for free just in time for Halloween. Have a happy Halloween all! View the full article

    Hi PlayStation fans, After invading E3 earlier this year, Xenos have now descended upon Paris Games Week. So many exciting announcements have been made that I think I might even have died and gone to heaven already! Playing Alienation live on stage at the PlayStation press conference was initially a somewhat terrifying prospect. The game was so cool to play on that huge screen that after just a few seconds of play I never wanted it to end! Our goal for Alienation is simply to create the definitive top-down shooter with awesome visual effects and layers of gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. The game is designed to encourage players to work together, combining their skills and firepower to avoid getting caught in a situation as shown in the image below. In Alienation, up to four players can join forces online, each assuming the role of a Bio-Specialist, Exo-Skeleton or Saboteur. There are tons of things to shoot and loot as you blast Xenos in chaotic firefights in order to complete a variety of interesting mission objectives and campaign goals, designed with collaboration in mind. Here is a trailer that we created to show you more… Alienation | PlayStation.com If you watch the trailer very carefully you might just spot a secret cypher that we’ve not been able to decode ourselves and would love to hear about on Twitter at #alienationps4. Another highlight of the week for me was of course the announcement of yet another new Housemarque game called MatterFall that I have seen brought to life from sketches made by our artists made just a few months back. Last but not least, the positive feedback and recognition that our friends at PlayStation extended to Housemarque during the presentation is hugely appreciated. It really is an amazing coincidence that the 20th anniversary of both PlayStation and Housemarque are in the same year and it is a huge privilege for me to work with such amazingly talented people, both at Housemarque and PlayStation.
