    We’re days away from white-knuckle battles, blaster showdowns, lightsaber duels, and sweeping conflicts across iconic Star Wars vistas. The Star Wars Battlefront Beta begins October 8th on PS4, welcoming prospective Rebels and Imperials from around the globe to sample Battlefront’s massive multiplayer modes. To prepare you for the upcoming Beta, we asked Battlefront Community Manager Mat Everett and our colleagues at EA and DICE to give us all the details on how to get in, get ready, and get playing. Let’s get started! The Basics What is the Star Wars Battlefront Beta? It’s an opportunity for the team at DICE to test various aspects of Star Wars Battlefront and its online infrastructure. Because of this, you may experience interruptions to gameplay. When is it? The beta opens on October 8th to players all around the globe. Do I need to register? Nope, it’s open to all PS4 players. There’s no need to register so you can dive into the game and join the fight. Do I need to be a PlayStation Plus member to play it? Nope! It’s open to all PS4 players with an internet connection. Where can I find the Beta? Head over to PlayStation Store. How big will the download be? Around 7GB. Will there be maintenance windows or updates? As this is a technical test, there will most likely be downtimes and restarts, etc. Full details and updates will be posted on the forums. When will the Beta end? October 12th. Exact times vary by region. What’s In the Beta What modes can I play once it starts? The Beta includes three modes spread across three iconic planets, including: Walker Assault on Hoth: Fight in epic 40-player battles as a Rebel to destroy the Empire’s onslaught of AT-AT’s by calling in Y-wing bombers. Or, side with the Empire and protect your walkers while utilizing their mighty weaponry to crush the Rebel objective. Drop Zone on Sullust: Escape pods are crashing down and you and your team must fight to control them. With its frantic 8v8 matches, Drop Zone is sure to put your combat and strategy skills to the test. Survival Mission on Tatooine: Play alone or with a friend via co-op or split-screen as you battle to hold off waves of Imperial forces including AT-ST’s, TIE fighters, elite stormtroopers, and more. Is there a level cap? You can advance to level five. Once you hit the level cap you’ll no longer be able to progress to higher levels, though you’ll still be able to unlock items. Do my stats and progression carry over to the main game? Stats and progression will not carry over to the final game. How many players can play via split-screen on one PS4? You can play two-player split-screen on PS4 in the Survival Mission on Tatooine. What control schemes will be available? Default controller layout, Southpaw, and Lefty options. Can you play as a Hero unit during the Beta? Of course! You can play as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker in Walker Assault. You just need to locate the hero power-ups across the battlefront. How much customization do you have over your character in the Beta? You can customize their hands with weapons and gadgets! Specific character customization is not unlocked in the Beta, but you’ll see a mix of options as characters will be randomly generated with male and female models. What weapons do the Rebels have access to in each game type? Rebel players will start off with the A280C blaster and can play to unlock the DH-17, DLT-19, and E-11 blasters. There are a few other weapons players can unlock via Star Cards, but we don’t want to spoil those. Keep in mind, the Beta only offers a taste of weapons, Star Cards, and features. We plan to reveal more weapons on our official site before November 17th. What weapons does the Empire have access to in each game type? With the limited selection of weapons in the Beta, the Imperial troops will be able to unlock the same weapons as the Rebels. The difference is they will start off with their own trusted E-11 blaster. Don’t worry, they won’t miss too many shots… What vehicles will I pilot during the Beta test? Players will be able to pilot an X-wing, A-wing, TIE fighter, TIE Interceptor, AT-ST and a Snowspeeder. You’ll also be able to control the weapons system of the mighty AT-AT. Tips and Tricks What are some strategies for each mode? Strategies can vary depending on how you like to play, but here are a few pointers that can give you an edge in your early matches. Tips on Survival Stick to the high ground and keep your distance from the waves of enemies — allowing them to get close can spell certain death. Capture the Drop Pod before and during wave three and utilize your power-ups to dominate the Imperial forces. Also, not all waves are just your typical Stormtroopers, so gear up to take on those pesky AT-ST walkers. Tips on Drop Zone In this mode you have a lot of options in play style thanks to the layout on Sullust. Keeping your distance is great if you’re using the cycle rifle, but this limits your ability to play the objective. Getting up high with a jetpack can play to your advantage against Stormtroopers or Rebels running into the deep valley paths, but note that you can easily become blaster fodder if you’re not aware of your surroundings. Finally, you can play like me and run ‘n’ gun and focus on clearing out the Drop Pod areas and holding the objective. Tips on Walker Assault This mode is by far the most complex in the Beta, with moving objectives, massive areas for battle, and keeping aerial assaults in mind — you’re going to be challenged in every way possible. From the Rebel perspective: Capture both uplinks and hold them as long as you can. The longer you secure these key objectives, the more Y-wing bombers you unlock. These are key to weakening the AT-AT walkers and allow you to do significant damage to them. The AT-AT walkers only take significant damage while vulnerable. Securing anti-vehicle rocket launchers and well-placed Ion grenades will be your go-to in the Beta. But focus those AT-AT walkers when they’re vulnerable and you should be able to hold back the Empire. Snowspeeders are by far the most efficient way to take down AT-AT walkers. Master the Tow Cable takedown and watch the Imperials fall. But watch out for those Imperial fighters as they can quickly blow you out of the sky. From the Imperial perspective: Assaulting the Rebel base from all angles is important. Stopping the Rebels from securing uplinks and protecting your AT-AT walkers are your top objectives. Utilizing vehicle power-ups and securing the high ground across the map can help give you an advantage. If the Rebels can control the uplinks, get ready to take to the sky and defend your AT-AT walkers from X-wings, A-wings, and those pesky Snowspeeders. To sum it up: attack and defend the uplinks, protect your AT-AT walkers, and destroy the Rebel scum! Special note: Securing hero power-ups can help turn the tide of battle, so watch your back as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader take to the battlefront. Extras Is there a Companion app I can use during the Beta? Yes! You can try out the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience. Available during the Beta only at www.StarWarsBattlefront.com, the Star Wars Battlefront Companion experience features the strategic card game Base Command, and lets you earn in-game Credits that unlock Star Cards, weapons, and more in Star Wars Battlefront. In addition to Base Command, the Companion also lets players check out game stats and progression, customize load-outs and appearance, connect with friends, and more. What time will the Companion be available on October 8th? Time will vary by platform and region. Will there be a mobile app for the Companion? During the Beta, the Companion will only be playable via browser at www.StarWarsBattlefront.com. Prior to the release of Star Wars Battlefront, the Companion will be available on web and in the Apple App Store and Google Play store. Note that stats and progression earned during the beta will not carry over to the final Companion experience. What browsers does the Companion support? The latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Internet Explorer 11. View the full article

    Hi from Harmonix development land! With the release date of Rock Band 4 just a day away, we wanted to give you an all-in-one-stop place for everything you need to know about the upcoming release! We have had a blast making this game for you and we hope you have a blast playing with friends, family or even solo. The MusicThe Rock Band experience starts with the music and Rock Band 4 has the strongest set list I think we’ve ever put together, with songs from bands such as Aerosmith, U2 and Van Halen. We’ve got metal (Avenged Sevenfold), the King (Elvis Presley), some up and comers that will blow you away, and… so much great music. Here’s our full set list: Pre-order Rock Band 4 digitally because we have a phenomenal promotion running for PlayStation Plus folks: 10 awesome DLC tracks that mirror that same diversity as our on disc setlist, including songs from Pantera, Duran Duran, Bring Me The Horizon and more. While these songs will soon be available for purchase, PlayStation Plus fans that preorder can get them free of charge (as well as have the game set to automatically download to your console on launch day). And if you have your Rock Band PlayStation 3 controllers or most other PlayStation 3 music game controllers, you will be able to play Rock Band 4 with your existing hardware. Freestyle Guitar SolosRock Band 4 is chock full of innovations but the feature we’re most excited about is the Freestyle Guitar Solo feature. With Freestyle Guitar Solos, you get to bust out your own awesome guitar solos. While we’ve adhered to our principles of accessibility to make it easy to sound great right away, we’ve also built a system with gameplay and depth – it’s a new way to play Rock Band that fits right into the core fantasy that makes Rock Band great. We’ve developed a lot of great tech to make you sound awesome all the time while crafting totally individual, face melting solos. Awesome New HardwareWhile based on the classic and battle tested design of the previous Rock Band controllers, we have taken every opportunity for hardware improvement. The guitar brings back the classic Fender Stratocaster look along with a number of design improvements: Accelerometer for improved tilt functionality Fret buttons are more responsive and durable Native Bluetooth wireless connections – no more USB adapters The drums have also taken a step forward with a more durable kick pedal, more responsive and quieter drum heads, and a new cymbal pack that will be available for purchase shortly after launch. Finally, we’ve developed a brand new microphone that allows for more gain with less distortion – sing louder and be heard! Break Out Your Old Songs and GearOur back catalog of over 1500 songs has been updated with new gameplay, so that every song now supports all the new Rock Band 4 gameplay features. On top of that, you are entitled to just about any Rock Band DLC you might have purchased on the PlayStation Network. You can re-download into Rock Band 4 any DLC you previously purchased on the PlayStation Network for earlier versions of Rock Band. Best of all, this is free – no need to buy songs for the 2nd time. Additionally, most previous PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 wireless music game controllers from Rock Band and other franchises will work with Rock Band 4 on the PlayStation 4, that’s without needing any other additional equipment. So if you want to add in a few more folks to the party, you can use the stuff you already own. To find out all the details, take a look at our detailed compatibility chart here. Freestyle VocalsIf you like to sing, you’re in luck. We’ve completely revamped the singing game, adding a new feature called Freestyle Vocals. Freestyle Vocals rewards you with a points bonus for improvising – as long as you are singing in the key of the song, you’re good! It’s a great feature for people that like to sing. Classic Band Game Play With New TwistsWe’ve updated all the major modes of play, from the classic QuickPlay mode, to a new ‘Shows’ mode that introduces dynamic setlist voting (never lose friends over what song to play next again), to the revamped campaign. So the classic band gameplay you love is still there. Thanks For Supporting Us!Lastly, just in case it isn’t clear, we are 100% committed to the Rock Band franchise. We want to work with you, our community, to continue to build upon this game. Let us know what you think! Rock Band 4 was built from the ground up based on the features the most fans wanted, and we’re always happy to hear where you think the franchise should be headed. We’ve got an aggressive schedule of feature updates and weekly new song DLC for after launch, so stayed tuned from us as well. We have loved seeing you guys rock out at events across the nation this spring and summer, and we can’t wait to see what fun folks have with the final game, as you all discover and rediscover the joys of being Rock Gods.

    Heya, PlayStation folks. My name is Adam from Austin-based independent studio Panic Button. In celebration of International Dinosaur Month (it’s really a thing), we’re bringing Circle 5 Studio’s dino-versus-people, first-person frag fest Primal Carnage: Extinction to PS4 on October 20th! In a nutshell, Primal Carnage: Extinction is a class-based biter/shooter in which you play as your favorite dinosaur or mercenary to bite/claw/douse-with-poisonous-spit members of the opposing team in a variety of gameplay types. The game is no-frills, jump-in-and-have-fun PS4 multiplayer mayhem with up to 16 players in player-hosted online and offline (single-screen LAN) modes. It makes great use of DualShock 4 and even has a custom control scheme for PS Vita Remote Play. Team Deathmatch — (un)Traditional dino-versus-human team-based multiplayer in unique battle arenas. Get to the Chopper — Control key parts of the map in this objective-based game mode, ultimately unlocking the escape helicopter and the Tyrant dinosaur that will try to stop it. Survival — Play solo or co-op through wave after wave of AI dinos. Free Roam — For those who want to strut their dino-might without the pressure of timers or kill counts. Playing as dinosaurs, spit, pounce, chomp, and tail-swing your way to the top of the food chain. Not exactly your typical FPS. Dilophosaurus — Ambush and blind your enemies from a distance or put your poisonous fangs to use, which will blind and slow the bipedal meat sacks. Novaraptor — Fast and scary is your namesake. Mercilessly slash your enemies or pounce and maul them into the ground. Watch out for the counterattack, though! Pteranodon — Reconnoiter from the sky and hone your swoop-down-and-carry-off skills or practice juggling your prey with a Pteranodon friend. Carnotaurus — You’re a two-legged cross between a bull and a T-Rex that charges your victims to death and can also heal by taking a bite out of them. Tyrannosaurus Rex — As the King of Lizards, be a high-health fearsome tank of an adversary. As far as the human team, use weapons unique among first-person shooters to tranq, net, snipe, shoot, flame, or rocket your way to homo sapien superiority. The Scientist — Snipe from afar, or slow down opponents with your unique-to-class tranquilizers, but don’t let the beasts get in your personal space (You can say goodbye if they do). The Commando— On the other end of the spectrum, humble those legendary beasts with your assault rifle or rocket launcher. Remember you may be strong, but you’re not quick. Good thing you can take a beating. The Pathfinder — Get up close and personal with your powerful short-ranged shotgun and leverage your agility to reload without getting eaten. The Trapper — Net smaller dinos and lock the jaws of the larger ones to make them more susceptible to damage — a great tactic to slow them down for your team mates. The Pyro — Because fire. Whether you’re comfy in your human skin or dinoLARPing is more your thing (we don’t judge), we hope you enjoy this modified take on the class-based first-person shooter genre. Happy International (First-Person-Shooter) Dinosaur Month! View the full article

    Hello, PlayStation fans! The day is almost upon us — on October 6th Super Meat Boy will finally come to PS4 and PS Vita as a cross buy title. As a thank you to the fans who have been so patient with us, Super Meat Boy is going to be free to download as part of October’s PS Plus lineup. For those of you that never played Super Meat Boy, you’re in for a real treat. You’re about to play a game with the best controls and level design this side of 1988. For those of you that have already had the joy (Pain?) of experiencing Meat Boy, you’ll notice that the soundtrack is different. Long story short, we couldn’t secure the rights to include the old soundtrack with the release of the game on PS4 and PS Vita. Now don’t be too bummed because we had the opportunity to work with our favorite artists to re-score Super Meat Boy to celebrate its 5th Anniversary. Our dream team of artists consists of: Matthias Bossi and Jon Evans, known the world over as Ridiculon (whose most recent work includes The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth), provided the bulk of the soundtrack. They took care of The Forest, Hell, The Rapture, and The End, as well as the intro music and title screen. They also re-scored all of the cutscenes and miscellaneous ditties. Their work is always stellar and Super Meat Boy is no exception. Ready yourselves for some devilishly gruesome guitar work, my friends. David “Scattle†Scatliffe of Hotline Miami fame used his unique moody style to create incredible tracks for The Hospital and the Salt Factory. His mastery will leave you wondering if the shakes you’re having are from the intense levels or the creepy/industrial bliss your ears are soaking in. Laura Shigihara of Plants vs. Zombies renown scored The Cotton Alley in her style to give Bandage Girl’s levels a gentle, feminine touch that provides a fitting counterpoint to the hardest levels in the game.That’s a pretty slick roster of artists. We were lucky enough that they were all friends of ours and fans of Super Meat Boy. Their passion and love for the game can be heard in the work they put into making the game sound amazing. We’re honored to have them on the team for this version of Super Meat Boy. Their marvelous soundtrack coupled with Jordan Fehr’s gross and satisfying SFX create an auditory masterpiece that complements Super Meat Boy like butter to lobster. But, talk is talk — your ears need to judge. We don’t want you to hear the whole soundtrack just yet; that special date is reserved for October 6th, but we’ll give a little taste of what’s to come. Below, you’ll find a link to the Hell Boss track. When you listen to it, you can hear that it burns with a seething intensity that is Hell in Super Meat Boy: Songs in the Key of Meat: Music from SMB 5th Anniversary by Ridiculon We’re excited for old fans, forgotten fans, and fans that don’t yet know that Super Meat Boy is their all time favorite game to join us October 6th on PS4 and PS Vita to celebrate Super Meat Boy’s 5th birthday in style! Love, Tommy and Edmund P.S. The DualShock 4 glows red while you play Super Meat Boy. If you were on the fence before and this tidbit didn’t sway you, then I don’t know what I can do for you.

    Hey everyone, some big news was shared moments ago at the IgoMir event in Russia! The “Iron Cyclone†will be making his way into Street Fighter V! A popular mainstay within Street Fighter, Zangief is the most prominent wrestler within the series. Zangief has made appearances in Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha II and III, and Street Fighter IV, all the while fighting for “Mother Russia.†When it comes to raw strength, not many in the world can compete with Zangief. Training day and night, Zangief believes that the only way to victory is to have a body complete with perfect muscles. Due to his intense training, which includes wrestling bears, Zangief can lift the heaviest opponents with ease! In SFV, Zangief shows off the results of his training through his newfound V-Skill, Iron Muscle and new V-Trigger, Cyclone Lariat. These two skills are just the tip of the iceberg however, as Zangief has even more new tactics in store for the world warriors this time around. V-Skill: Iron Muscle Zangief shows the true power of his body when he activates Iron Muscle. During Iron Muscle, Zangief can absorb one attack, which leaves him with recoverable health. If players hold down medium punch and medium kick and then press a direction on the stick, Zangief will begin to slowly close in on the opponent. Upon release from the walk, Zangief flexes his muscles and hits the opponent if close enough. V-Trigger: Cyclone Lariat Zangief lives up to his name “the Iron Cyclone†as he spins with high speed and velocity, pulling the opponent in close. If the player taps the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will quickly spin and pull in the opponent. If the player holds the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will continue to spin and hit the opponent multiple times. And that, ladies and gentlemen, wraps up Zangief. With only three characters left to reveal, you’ll want to be sure to check back in frequently to see who makes it into the next announcement. Who do you think will be next? View the full article

    Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay — we’ve been pretty busy trying to get some N++ updates and bugfixes out the door for you all to enjoy, but we have hit a few unexpected snags, so these will take a bit more time. N++ on PS Store In the meantime, we are really excited to share with you some of the levels players have been making –there’s just so much creativity and ingenuity on display! For example, people are using the enemies and objects in the game in completely different ways than we intended, and the results are just fantastic. We’ll try to go into detail on what we love about these levels, but to really understand you’ll have to play them yourself. Seriously, check out these examples, then go play (and don’t stop here — there are some really amazing things in the N++ database, and this post barely scratches the surface!), and you may want to make some of your own! Ride the Lightningby Kelevra_V This level is closer to the “house style†of N++ than any of the others; it has a relatively short and easy path to basic victory, but if you want to get a high score collecting all the gold, you’re in for a much more intense challenge. One thing we’ve learned over the course of our ten years of level design experience is that different combinations of enemies produce different results, and the “Deathball + Gauss Turret†theme of this level is a really interesting mix. Deathballs are dynamic force causing you to keep moving, while turrets are static and their line-of-sight/firing rules mean that moving towards them is very dangerous. So as you play, you end up having to juggle two completely different sorts of behaviours in your mind at once, while also attempting to navigate the staple platforms/mines/gold that form the basis of the level. The tiles in particular are deceptively challenging, because the steep angle really limits your maneuverability. This all makes the payoff, when you successfully beat the level, so much more rewarding. Also, the aesthetic composition of this level is terrific: the spaces and shapes are both visually pleasing and interesting, and play really nicely. Round N Round DDAby Garaman DDA is short for “Don’t Do Anythingâ€, a type of level that was invented and perfected by the community in N and N+, and has reached new heights in N++ thanks to the new objects and enemies. They take hours to construct and tweak to perfection – we have huge respect for the dedication these level designers have. The basic premise is in the name: you just sit back watch the level play itself, Rube Goldberg-style, without needing to provide any input. These levels are incredibly thrilling and intricate, as it seems like the ninja couldn’t possibly survive! Watching the twists and turns as the level plays out is exhilarating, and a refreshingly unique change of pace from normal N++ gameplay. While there are a range of different flavours of DDA, the “rocket chasing the player through the whole level†is a staple of the genre. In this particular level, however, the classic formula receives a new twist: for much of the level, the ninja is chasing the rocket! We had never seen this done before! It demonstrates a profound mastery of the rocket AI, and is truly an incredible accomplishment. Geometry Nutby Narwhalicorn125 This level demonstrates a common feature of user-made levels: they tend to be a lot longer and more involved than the built-in levels, perhaps because they are meant to be played individually (rather than in Episodes (sets of 5) like the ones we at Metanet make). That change in context might seem small, but it has a profound influence on level design: if you want players to have a varied and dynamic experience, you have to do it all in just one screen. The strategy adopted in this level is to partition the space into 5 horizontal layers, each with its own distinct theme, feel, challenge, and difficulty level. In essence, there are 5 small levels packed into one! The focal point is the middle section, which contains an ingenious Shove-Thwump puzzle/trap: by pushing them out of your way as you move to the right, you set up a deadly pattern than you must then weave through to progress. The contrast between each section is really interesting too, from the cramped and claustrophobic top layer to the breezy, open jumps of the second-from-bottom layer. This keeps the level feeling fresh, even though it’s so lengthy. This translates into a really fun, though quite challenging, level you won’t regret playing. Apocalyptic Bridgeby Nahoj-N This level is interesting in that it combines several different ideas together in one. To start with, it’s a “picturesque†level, where the author has arranged the tiles and objects to portray a scene — in this case, a bridge in ruin. It’s also an incredibly challenging level, requiring both expert momentum control and jump-timing, as well as featuring a super-sneaky Bounceblock-glitching exploit – thankfully you only need to attempt that part if you want to collect all the gold. Unlike most of the built-in levels, this level has only a single, very precise solution: it’s definitely a puzzle/riddle for expert players. It may look simple, but building sufficient momentum to escape the bottom section is far from trivial. When you finally nail that jump, it feels really freeing and awesome. Give it a try and see for yourself! Finally, it contains a really interesting and unique feature: an “N†logo/graphic built from tiles, functioning as the signature of the author (Nahoj). That’s just cool. Someone had to…by toythatkills It would be easy to dismiss this level as pure novelty: recreating game A within game B is a fun challenge, but rarely leads to a level that’s fun to play. However, in this case, what appears to simply be a visual recreation of Pac-Man actually ends up to be a functional approximation of Pac-Man’s gameplay too! It’s not just an homage, it’s a terrifically thrilling level in its own right. Victory requires expertly manipulating the AI, directing the Deathballs around the level and avoiding being trapped by them. While the cramped paths are somewhat awkward to navigate – we at Metanet try to avoid 1-tile-wide hallways for this reason – here, this only adds to the excitement, as the pressure of slowly-creeping-closer enemies means that you usually only get a single chance at each jump. This level really impressed us, and underlined the necessity of never judging a level without playing it first So there you have it, a quick introduction to a handful of the really creative things people are making in N++. Why not give it a try yourself? NOTE: if you do use the level editor, **especially if you use the PS4’s save/resume features, please do not save more than one “in-progress†level at a time**; otherwise your save progress will be corrupted. This is a bug that our programmer is currently still working on. Thank you for your patience until it’s resolved (which will be in our first update). View the full article

As excited as we are about Multiplayer, we’re also working hard on Zombies and Campaign too. In fact, it’s been some time since we last spoke about the Campaign in Black Ops III on PlayStation 4*.

Black Ops III engrosses players in a dark and gritty future, where a new breed of Black Ops soldier has emerged, and the lines between humanity and military technology have been blurred. You must navigate the hot spots of a new Cold War to find your missing brothers. While much has changed, one thing remains the same: everything you know may be wrong. How far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go to uncover the disturbing truth? To help show you what we mean, we wanted to give you a look at what’s in store for you coming this November: The Black Ops III campaign opens up possibilities never before seen in the franchise. Customize your character and join with up to four friends for furious online co-op action. With larger environments, overhauled AI, and full progression systems, we’ve designed the campaign to be a re-playable and evolving experience. Stay tuned for more information on the various campaign systems and features starting next week. Call of Duty: Black Ops III is set to release on November 6th. Those that pre-ordered the game on PS4 will receive the NUK3TOWN Bonus Map at launch. The fan favorite multiplayer map comes to Black Ops III in a big way, re-imagined and re-designed from the ground up to highlight the new momentum-based, chained-movement system. There’s still a lot of exciting stuff to share between now and November. We’ll be sure to check in with you all soon! *Call of Duty: Black Ops III campaign mode will be available on next-gen platforms only, including PS4. View the full article

    Put your dancing shoes on, cause it’s time to boogie! Persona 4: Dancing All Night comes out today! Rejoin the cast of Persona 4 in their latest adventure on the PlayStation Vita! Speaking of the cast, did you know that the developers took into account each character’s personality when figuring out their dance styles? For example, Kanji’s explosive dance style fits his brash personality. He dances, but you may also notice that he also incorporates some powerful punches into his routine. Now that’s my kind of dancing! Persona 4: Dancing All Night | PlayStation.com On the other hand, when you have a character like Yukiko you think class and elegance, right? Of course, her dance moves would be based on something as graceful as ballet. And look at that costume! Mix and match your little heart out, but we’ll talk more about costumes later when we reach the DLC portion of this blog… Now that we’ve talked a bit about the characters, let me fill you in on the gameplay. Yes, this is a rhythm game, and no, it’s not an RPG, but don’t let that get to you. You still get fully-voiced, canon story and amazing music! No one can argue the power of the catchy music in Persona. I bet you can’t get through the game without getting at least one song stuck in your head. This game can treat your Persona-music-itis! Got “Your Affection†stuck in your head? Tap to the beat and play the song over and over until it’s out of your head. Still stuck? Try out one of the “Your Affection†remixes and enjoy the song with another perspective. While it’s nice to go through the button mashing motions and listen to the songs, you want to win and figure out the mysteries behind the game too, so do your best to get those combos! And don’t let those dancing geniuses on screen distract you — focus on the circles and press those buttons to the beat. You’ll want to look out for the Scratches: these blue circles! We notice that a lot of people tend to ignore them! Don’t, because even though missing them doesn’t count against you, those can really save a performance! And no ATLUS release is complete without some FreeLC! Let’s start with the first DLC you NEED to download. Why? Because it’s only FREE for a limited time. Summer may almost be over, but it’s never too late to get some free swimsuits! The Girls’ Swimsuit Set is available for FREE for a week. Better get on it–the end of summer is fast approaching. Speaking of free DLC, we have some ready and coming up in the following weeks for you to download and enrich your Persona 4: Dancing All Night experience! (Think of it like getting guacamole at Chipotle; it’s not necessary, but tastes OH SO GOOD!) This week on the FreeLC list: You can jam with the musical track “Shadow World (DE DE MOUSE shadow swing mix)â€. Didn’t get to attend Persona events in Japan? There’s no way to travel back in time and go to the concerts, but “Reach Out To The Truth (PERSONA MUSIC FES 2013)†will be available for free, so close your eyes and use your imagination. First introduced in Persona 4 Arena, this General Teddie Costume is a must-have for all Teddie fans! Look how adorable he is! And here’s a sneak peek at next week’s FreeLC: Doesn’t he look warm, yet somehow still really cool? If you didn’t pre-order your copy, that’s okay. You can still get the cool launch edition! Just get Persona 4: Dancing All Night today on release day! Get the game and make Nanako happy! View the full article

    Hi, everyone! My name is Kristina and I work at Krillbite Studio. We’re a small game developer from Norway. We are so happy to announce that Among the Sleep is coming to PS4 on December 10th! We have received a lot of attention for the story in our game. Among the Sleep is a psychological horror game where you play as a two year old child. You get to experience the world through the eyes of a toddler with a vivid imagination that could easily scare your pants off. We wanted to create an atmospheric horror game with an eerie feeling of helplessness. We are bringing Among the Sleep from PC to PS4 and it’s taken a while. Wonder why? It was a lot of technical work. The process required a conversion of our game engine, Unity. This project has been moved from Unity 3.0, to 3.5 and so forth all the way up to the most recent version 5.2. We wanted the game to look the best and work perfectly with PS4. We had to redo the lightmapped levels and we had to rebake everything, which is fancy developer speak for fixing lights and putting it all together. Another time-consuming issue with conversion was related to the physics engine used in the game. Unity uses Nvidia PhysX which has been completely redone in the newer versions of Unity. We encountered a lot of weird and funny bugs because of this. We saw chairs floating and doing 360s as you grabbed them, and apples flying hundreds of kilometres an hour. Among the Sleep was actually quite fun with fruit flying around randomly, but it sort of broke the atmosphere so we made the apples go back to their fruitbowl. One of the coolest things in the PlayStation version of the game is the full audio-visual upgrade — Among the Sleep now has even better graphics and an even better sound experience. We think frame rate is an essential part of a good game experience and have worked hard to get the game to run at a proper 60 frames per second. This was probably the biggest part of the upgrade and it makes for a super smooth experience and does a lot for immersion! We are a young studio and we started making this game in school. We made a lot of strange stuff and code at the beginning of the project that has been coming back to bite us in our behinds during the development process! But we have also learned so much that will help us make our next experience much smoother! We are so proud of the PS4 version of the game and can’t wait for you to get your hands on it! You guys will be one of the first to be able to experience the commentary edition! The PC community have given us so much love for this horror game and we hope you will enjoy this even more polished version of the game this holiday! View the full article

    Hi everyone! When we announced Hardware: Rivals recently, we mentioned that we were going to be running a Beta in the near future. Well, I’m pleased to announce that the Hardware: Rivals Beta will be launching exclusively to PlayStation Plus subscribers worldwide on September 30th. In case you missed our previous post, Hardware: Rivals is an arcade-style, vehicle combat game where you can get behind the wheel of a Tank or Fast Attack Vehicle, load up with devastating weapons, and hunt down and destroy your opponents. Check out the trailer to get an idea of what you can expect in the Beta. Anyone with an active PlayStation Plus subscription is eligible to take part, and you can download the game from the Plus section of PlayStation Store. During the Beta we’ll be letting in batches of players on a first-come-first-served basis.

    The 3.00 system software update on PS4, codename: Kenshin, will be available to download starting tomorrow, September 30th. We want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone that participated in the beta. I want you to all know that we’ve listened. Your feedback made this system software update even better. There are a lot of changes in this update, from entirely new features to UI enhancements. While we detailed its key features earlier this month, we wanted to give a visual tour of our favorite new additions. This update is focused on creating new ways to connect with friends and players around the world, expanding the social capabilities of the system even further. Sharing video clips to Twitter: Now it’s easy to share video clips to Twitter directly from your PS4. You’ll see a new icon on the Upload Video Clip menu, nestled between Facebook and YouTube. Maximum video length is 10 seconds, though you’ll have the ability to trim longer clips. Don’t forget — you can double tap the Share button to start recording a video, and press it again to stop. PlayStation Plus: We’ve made a dedicated section for PlayStation Plus, which you can access by clicking the big Plus icon on the top left corner of your PS4 home screen. Once there you can easily manage your membership, see the monthly free games to download, deals for PS Plus members, and all of the games you’ve redeemed through PS Plus on PS4. YouTube live: You’ll see a new icon for YouTube on the Broadcast Gameplay Screen, accessible after hitting the Share button. Now you can live stream directly from your PS4 to YouTube. Livestreams will be viewable across YouTube. PNG Screenshots: If you’d like your game screenshots to be in a higher quality format, you can now select PNG instead of JPEG. To access, press Share > Share Settings > Screenshot Settings > Image Format. Events: A new hub for Events has been added to PS4, accessible from the home screen. This will give you an overview of activities taking place in the games you play most, as well as official broadcasts. For instance, here’s an in-game racing event taking place in Project Cars, which you can register for directly from the Events hub. Improvements to Messages and Favorite Groups: We’ve improved Messages by making it easier to access groups of people you chat and play games with frequently. Once you’re added to or create a group, you’ll see the online status for friends, what games they are playing, and the option to message or chat in party all in one spot. When you add or create a new favorite group, they’ll appear in your Friends app under Favorite Groups for quick access. For example, you can see we have favorite groups for Call of Duty, Rocket League, and Destiny. Communities: PS4 users will have the ability to create communities based around shared interests, like games, genres, and more. Communities include a message board with general discussion, screenshots shared by players, and the ability to join parties / games. Stickers: From the PS4 system’s Messages app, you’ll see a new option for Stickers. The 3.00 update will contain stickers themed around Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Knack, LittleBigPlanet 3, Resogun, and more. Instead of typing out a message, just send a sticker — like Drake looking at a watch, asking you to wait a minute.†We’re constantly striving to make PS4 even better, and appreciate all the feedback! If you would like to submit an idea on how to improve the PlayStation experience, share it here. We will continue to make PS4 the best place to play. We hope you enjoy the Kenshin update, and let us know what you think in the comments below! View the full article

    For decades, videogames based on comics licenses have struggled with the perception of being low-quality licensed cash-ins. But over the past six or seven years that perception has begun to shift, helped in large part to the explosive critical and commercial success of the Batman Arkham series developed by Rocksteady and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. What’s the secret to DC and WBIE’s success where so many others have struggled? With Batman Day looming large, I contacted Ames Kirshen, vice president of product development for the Arkham and DC Comics games at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to learn more about the company’s approach. “You have to understand and respect the core essence of the franchise,†Kirshen explained, “but you can’t be a slave to every single aspect of its history or continuity in translating it for the gaming medium.†“You have to understand and respect the core essence of the franchise.†“More importantly, you have to have the talent, vision, and passion from the development teams to make great games and treat them as they would an original IP. We’ve been blessed at WBIE with studios and talent such as Rocksteady, NetherRealm, and TT Games.†Important points. Rocksteady, NetherRealm and TT Games have each been granted rare creative freedom from an industry noted for its exacting creative controls. Arkham, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and the LEGO Batman games have never felt like awkward extensions of a movie or comic book marketing campaign, but rather fully fleshed-out original universes that look and feel comfortable in their own videogame skins. For Kirshen, who began his career in web design and video editing in Warner Bros.’ online division, the journey has been a personal one. “At that time, comic book centric video games were more of a novelty and weren’t taken very seriously by gaming publishers and, ultimately, by gamers.†Kirshen had longed to produce games based on the DC Comics franchises he’d loved since he was a kid. “I’ve always loved watching these characters translated to the big and small screen, but those were passive, linear experiences and I saw video games as the one unique entertainment medium where players could actually BE the characters and actively live out the fantasy of controlling them and shaping the story.†“If I could break into the business and work with development studios that loved and respected the characters as much as I did, we could change the paradigm and make great games based on these franchises.†In the early 2000s, with increasingly powerful consoles such as PS2 booming, Kirshen made his move. “I helped develop Batman and Superman console games based on the beloved Bruce Timm DC Comics Animated Series with partners such as Ubisoft (Batman Vengeance and Batman: Rise Of Sin Tzu) and Atari (Superman: Shadow Of Apokolips).†“I made a few stops at other game companies, but was drawn to come home to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in 2008 and I’ve been leading production on all DC Comics games we’ve developed ever since.†Kirshen has the background to lead DC Comics’ into a new Golden Age in videogames. He describes his approach to game development as “take risks and bring unique innovations to the table.†Kirshen doesn’t rule out taking on other DC Comics franchises in the future, either. “When choosing what DC Entertainment IP we might focus on for any game, it boils down to honing in on the IPs that map the strongest, genre-wise, to what fans are interested in seeing and playing. From there, it’s about getting the development studios with the strongest passion for those IPs to make the games.†“It boils down to honing in on the IPs that map to what fans are interested in seeing and playing.†Kirshen’s biggest challenge might actually be the legendary roster of characters and franchises that span across the DC Universe and Vertigo. “It can be hard to choose what to focus on.†For now, Batman remains the focus of WBIE’s current DC Comics game lineup. “Batman is one of the cornerstone IPs for Warner Bros. With the Arkham series, we were finally able to realize the full potential of the character.†Today being Batman Day, maybe Kirshen can tease what’s next for the Caped Crusader? Pretty please? “We don’t have anything to talk about at this time, but the possibilities are endless with a character as dynamic and beloved as Batman.†Shucks. View the full article
