    It’s not every day that you come across a series with a sadistic teddy bear at the helm, but that’s exactly what players get with the Danganronpa series. It’s garnered a passionate following of players thanks to its premise of high school students struggling against the whims of that diabolical (And adorable?) villain — with murderous confrontations as a result. To learn more about the series, and the upcoming adventure spin-off Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, we posed some questions to Director and Scenario Writer Kazutaka Kodaka, and then passed along your inquiries to him as a bonus. Let’s plunge into one of the minds behind Monokuma, and all the devilish games he plays… PlayStation.Blog: What was the team’s inspiration behind Another Episode? What do the new gameplay systems add to the game, and the storytelling? Kazutaka Kodaka: So the idea for the game is two girls escaping, or running away from, despair. The easiest way to tell their story is through an action game because action games actually require movement. So that’s why we ended up going with an action game for this one. PlayStation.Blog: Will it be possible for players new to the Danganronpa series to start with Another Episode? Kazutaka Kodaka: Essentially, Danganronpa Another Episode was created in a way that new players can start the series by playing it and be okay. PlayStation.Blog: How has the Danganronpa series allowed you to be creative in new ways? Kazutaka Kodaka: Obviously the main focus of a Danganronpa game is its story. That said, I’m always interested in adding in new gameplay elements and finding ways that gameplay can express the story. The Danganronpa series allows me to creatively find new ways to use gameplay to enhance and help the story move along. PlayStation.Blog: Have any of your personal experiences in life been reflecting in the stories you create? Kazutaka Kodaka: Not really. My life is actually pretty basic, and not many things happen. There’s actually a column I write in Japan, kind of like a blog, and it’s come to a point where I don’t know what to write because nothing happens to me. It’s not really a case where my life is reflected in my work or writing. @PlayStation @NISAmerica Question: Did Kodaka-sensei intend for fans to read Danganronpa Zero before or after playing Super Danganronpa 2? — OasisFan (@oasis789) February 28, 2015 Kazutaka Kodaka: Definitely the order would be Danganronpa 1, Danganronpa Zero, and then Danganronpa 2 is the best way to play it. @PlayStation @GloriousBagel @NISAmerica how closely does the character designer work with you inthe initial creation of the cast?(If at all) — Nathan Ortega (@kenjisalk) February 28, 2015 Kazutaka Kodaka: Basically, I give instructions for what I want to Mr. Komatsuzaki [the artist for Danganronpa]. That said, sometimes he comes up with a design cue that I like so much, I end up rewriting something into the story or scenario that shows off that particular aspect of Komatsuzaki’s character design. In the end, it’s a back and forth thing. @PlayStation @NISAmerica What inspired you to write the segments for the Monokuma Theater? What were you hoping to convey to your readers? — Jenny Saucerman (@jennysaucerman) February 28, 2015 Kazutaka Kodaka: So originally the idea was to create some space between the scenes of the game. I was trying to think of the best way to do that, and what I came up with was Monokuma Theater. It was the first idea I had, but it ended up being the best idea and the one we went with. So that’s why it’s in the game. Actually the idea came out of nowhere, but worked well for the first game. For the second game, those became more and more difficult to write. I feel like the ones in the second game aren’t up to par. @PlayStation @NISAmerica Are there any bizarre spin-offs or dream cross-overs you would love to do with the series? — Brad (@Baust528) February 28, 2015 Kazutaka Kodaka: First of all, an RPG. Probably Metal Gear. As everybody knows, in Metal Gear, Snake has a communicator. The famous line is where Snake gets killed and the person on the other end screams, “Snake! Snake!†So that’s what I’d have Monokuma say when he kills Snake. @PlayStation @NISAmerica If you could choose your own elaborate execution, what would it be? — Kyle Gaddo (@kylegaddo) February 28, 2015 Kazutaka Kodaka: It would probably be something not in the open. I would just run and run and run away from the killer, only to be enclosed in a room, panic, and get killed. So I guess you could call it a suicide death.

    Since we showed you our first gameplay reveal of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, more of the game and story have come together, and it’s become clear to us that this game is much more ambitious than we originally envisioned. After spending so many years with Nathan Drake, he means a lot to the team, and telling the climactic chapter of his adventures is a task we don’t take lightly — this game deserves every bit of the attention to detail, precise pacing, and nuanced storytelling Naughty Dog is known for. So we’ve made the difficult choice of pushing the game’s release date. Giving us a few extra months will make certain that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End not only meets the team’s high standards, but the high standards that gamers have come to expect from a Naughty Dog title. Thank you for your patience — we know the extra wait will be excruciating, but you’ll see it will be worth it as we reveal more about Uncharted 4 over the next year. The team at Naughty Dog will be heads down working through 2015 making sure that Nathan Drake’s story gets the closure it deserves. Come Spring 2016, you and Nate are in for one thrilling, emotional ride. Bruce Straley & Neil Druckmann // Directors, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End View the full article

    When Hotline Miami released on PS3 and PS Vita in 2013 it delivered a tight run and gun shooter experience dripping with an unmistakable visual style and dark story that struck a chord with gamers worldwide. Some would argue that while the game itself was a modern classic it was the pulsing soundtrack that might have been the most memorable part of Hotline Miami and a large part of the game’s legacy. With the arrival of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number comes an incredible new soundtrack with 49 tracks from dozens of artists from around the world. While we don’t want to spoil the full track listing – it’s best experienced in the context of the game – the team thought it would be interesting to highlight their favorite tracks for the PlayStation community and give a little sample of the audio fun awaiting in Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. The game itself is available now on PlayStation Network and is a Cross-Buy title across PS4, PS3, and PS Vita.

    Today is the day! On behalf of team Powers, it is our pleasure to tell you that the wait is over – Powers is available now to watch on PS3, PS4 and online. If you’ve been following us, you already know that Powers is not your normal, shiny superhero story – it asks deep and challenging questions. Powers explores the concept of what it would be to be a superhero in today’s celebrity obsessed culture. What if having a superpower is like having an addiction? What if you could fly, but you still had all the vulnerabilities of an average human being? And what if you lost your powers, and had to police your ex-mates while living as a mere mortal? In this show, not all people with powers are heroes, making the storyline mature and the characters deep, complex and challenging. Interested? Good. You can watch the first episode of Powers FREE today – all you have to do is click here to immediately start watching. Everyone – whether you are a PS Plus member or not – can watch the first episode for free. PlayStation Plus members will be able to watch the entire season free, along with enjoying all the other great benefits of being a member. The first three episodes launch today on PlayStation Store at one time for those of you who like to binge watch. Episode one is also free on PlayStation Store and weekly episodes will release every Tuesday until the season finale on April 28th. And with that, PlayStation proudly brings you our first-ever scripted original content series! We have worked on this series in partnership with Sony Pictures TV for the past several years, and I think you will really enjoy it. If you like what you see, be sure to let us know at @PowerstheSeries using #PowersonPS. View the full article

    Happy DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition launch day, everyone! The guys at Ninja Theory and QLOC have put in a ton of hard work to bring you what is going to be the ultimate version of DmC. By now, you’ve probably heard about all of the content that we’ve added to DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition. Just in case you missed it, check out the announce trailer that covers all the new features. One of the coolest new features is squarely aimed at giving a difficulty boost to well-seasoned DmC players looking for challenge. In the new Must Style Mode enemies will ONLY receive damage when Dante has achieved an S-Rank combo. Especially when paired with Hardcore Mode, where a high style rank is more difficult to obtain, the mode has tested the metal of our QA and anyone that’s gotten an early look at the game. In fact, on higher difficulty modes, our guys have had to find some pretty creative ways to fight enemies on Must Style Mode. As you can imagine, fighting enemies that don’t have the decency to refrain from teleporting can be extremely difficult to get an S rank on. Just make sure you look around, the key to defeating them will be nearby… A cool side effect of the new mode that I know our combo vid friends will appreciate is that enemies will live much longer now, allowing for much longer combos before they are killed off. With the video upload capabilities of PS4, I’m expecting way more combo videos than we’re used to seeing. Or in my case, video tributes to how quickly I get wrecked. Big thanks to Ninja Theory and QLOC for putting together a fantastic game that we all hope you enjoy. Even bigger thanks to you the fans, whose support has gotten DmC the game and Devil May Cry the franchise where it is today. It was your feedback that inspired many aspects of this product. P.S. Special shout out to a fan that’s been the bomb for being a fan and champion for all things Devil May Cry. View the full article

    Heists are now available to play in Grand Theft Auto Online. Heists bring a brand new 4-player cooperative gameplay experience to GTA Online, giving players the chance to team up to pull off a string of intense, multi-part raids and robberies across Los Santos and Blaine County. IGN recently exclaimed, “They’re real and they’re spectacular… these long-awaited four-player online heists are meaty and, in our initial experience, very different from anything else in GTA 5.†Setting Up for GTA Online HeistsWith the launch of GTA Online Heists, we have no doubt you and your Crew are ready to pull off elaborate robberies at some of Los Santos’ most closely-guarded institutions. Massive scores of GTA$ await those with the planning and the teamwork to pull off each of these audacious criminal endeavors. Here are a few pointers to help ensure your plan is of the best-laid variety. Follow the Leader A video posted by Rockstar Games (@rockstargames) on Mar 9, 2015 at 7:33am PDT A video posted by Rockstar Games (@rockstargames) on Mar 6, 2015 at 9:29am PST A video posted by Rockstar Games (@rockstargames) on Mar 5, 2015 at 7:59am PST First things first: every Heist needs a leader and the Heist Leader is going to need to be at least rank 12 and own a high-end apartment with a planning board in order to co-ordinate the crime. Not only do Heist Leaders cough up all of the setup costs up-front, they have complete control over team roles and the cut of the final take each Crew Member gets. Additionally, Heist progress is only saved for the Heist Leader – so when choosing a leader it makes sense to link up with someone you can trust. All TalkIt should go without saying that good teamwork starts with communication – and headsets are important to successfully pulling off Heists. Whether it’s telling a lookout where they need to be, a passenger locating vehicles using the Trackify app and giving directions to the driver, or two infiltrators operating a pair of security panels in perfect sync. Roll CallAt different stages of each Heist, Crew members will be assigned different roles. These could be slightly different responsibilities within a single scenario – for example, two lookouts and a bodyguard while a buyer completes a less-then-legal exchange of information – or larger deviations, like two players patrolling in an attack chopper above while the other two infiltrate a facility below. It’s important for all players to know their strengths and, in turn, for the Heist Leader to assign accordingly. If you see yourself as an ace pilot, then put in some time at the Flight School and increase that flying stat to prove it. Tool UpProfessionals don’t expect the customer to provide the tools for the job. While there might be some more specialized equipment that may be provided (or that you’ll need to acquire) along the way, for the most part you’ll be using your own custom vehicles and firearms to get by. So it’s a good time to take stock and make sure your garage and your arsenal are prepared for all possibilities. Silencers on guns and RPGs in general are especially useful for certain Heists while four-door vehicles with added armor can come in handy if you like to keep your friends close. With GTA Online Heists you can unlock a range of new vehicles and gear, including an extensive selection of new outfits perfect for whatever each Heist throws at you. Bonus RoundFor the financially ambitious there are a few ways to increase the income from Heists in a major way. First off, each Heist has its own Elite Challenge which, upon completion, will yield a substantial cash bonus. These can be completed multiple times, but be warned: they’re no cakewalk. On top of that, there are Special Heist Completion bonuses that can only be achieved once per person, but will add some serious zeros to your bank balance. Examples include: First Time – Completing each Heist Finale for the first time, will net you a bonus cash reward All In Order Challenge – Complete all Heists in order, including Setups, to receive a $1,000,000 cash bonus Loyalty Challenge – Complete all Heists, including Setups, with the same team of players to receive an additional $1,000,000 bonus Criminal Mastermind Challenge – Complete all Heists, in order, with the same group of players, without losing any lives, to receive a massive $10,000,000 bonus The one-off bonus challenges are linked to in game awards. You can monitor your award progress via the Stats > Awards tab in the Pause Menu. Adversary Modes, Daily Objectives and MoreAlongside Heists comes a range of new features and enhancements to make the entire GTA Online experience bigger and deeper. Adversary Modes bring three new kinds of competition to GTA Online while new Daily Objectives and other Freemode activities bring new life to the hectic streets of Los Santos and Blaine County. Here’s a rundown of just some of the new features and additions that have launched with Heists: New Adversary ModesThese brand new player vs. player modes bring a range of intense new competitive challenges to GTA Online. Adversary Modes will unlock as players progress through Heists. Daily ObjectivesThe Los Santos daily hustle just got a little more lucrative. Whether you tend towards Jobs or free-form activities, Daily Objectives will give you a rotating series of challenges to take on for GTA$ rewards. With three new objectives per day, players can stack up challenges over consecutive days to earn bonuses of up to $500,000. New Freemode ActivitiesYou and your fellow players also have new opportunities for cash and RP rewards with new activities added to the world in Freemode. Be on the lookout for calls from Lester, who may need help to distract the cops in a specific area while his accomplices finish their criminal business. Lamar may call looking for help destroying a vehicle or two, while Trevor and Ron need occasional help picking their business rival’s planes out of the sky. Along with GTA$ and RP bonuses, there are all-new Awards available for completing these challenges with style. There’s also a new in-game Email notification system that will allow you to contact and message any of your GTA Online friends, no matter what session they’re in – as well as a host of new Awards that yield new items including exclusive t-shirts and car modifications.

    Hello there! My name’s Luke Staddon and I’m one of four-person studio XMPT Games. I’m here to tell you about the latest title we’ve been working on, fast-paced arena combat game DiscStorm. It’s launching this year on PS Vita thanks to the lovely chaps at Mastertronic. We’re a group of friends from the UK with a shared love for all things gaming. We’ve been making games for about half a decade now — albeit whilst working full-time jobs. DiscStorm came about from our desire to play classic multiplayer matches with friends. We wanted a speedy arcade game like Bomberman but with modern features like online play, so that we could play against each other whenever we wanted. After searching around online for a while and not finding anything that was quite what we were looking for, we thought: why not take a shot at making something ourselves? DiscStorm is the game we all want to play. It’s all about hurling flying discs that ricochet around the game’s arenas at break-neck speed. Whether you’re lobbing them at an incoming pack of zombies or your best friend’s face, you’ll need split-second reactions to succeed. We’ve kept the deathmatches fresh by providing a whole host of game modes. From classic first-to-ten brawls, tactical games of survival and the dreaded one-hit-kill “Death Disc†mode, there are plenty of different match types, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. We’ve even added in a bunch of power-ups, too! Despite starting out with the intention of creating a great multiplayer experience, we also wanted to create a single-player campaign that would stand out in its own right. Our aim was to provide a challenge that harked back to the gameplay of titles on ’90s consoles — the bosses require you to figure out exactly how to beat them, whilst still testing your skills and reactions. We’ve tried to echo these ideals in the music and art style too; blending chiptunes music and pixelated graphics with modern dance and highly detailed artwork. Proving your skills as a Disc Master in the single-player adventure will unlock new costumes for the quirky cast of characters — my personal favourite is “Like A Sir†Gustav, with his top hat and monocle. There are also all of the usual trimmings you’d expect from a modern title: Trophies, online multiplayer and leaderboards. We’ve even added a mode exclusive to PS Vita, where two players can compete against each other on a single device. We’re always looking for ways to make our games better and make it the experience you want to have. If you have any suggestions or ideas for DiscStorm, we’d love to hear them! Leave a comment here or just come and have a chat if you see us out and about at game festivals or events. Hope to see you there! View the full article

    With millions of subscribers and an ever-growing world of content to explore, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has struck a chord with the larger MMO community — and it shows no signs of relenting. In fact, Square Enix revealed today that its upcoming expansion, Heavensward, will debut on June 23rd of this year. It will introduce massive new zones, flying mounts, three new jobs and more to the already staggering Eorzean landscape. During the Game Developers Conference earlier this week, my colleague Ryan Clements and I spoke with Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida about his tireless work on Final Fantasy XIV. Of course, we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to ask for new details pertaining to the upcoming Heavensward expansion. Yoshida, with his immaculately styled hair and impressive collection of metal rings, exudes a calm, confident air, despite the tremendous expectations placed upon him and his team. Heavensward promises to add an incredible amount of new content to Final Fantasy XIV, but Yoshida notes that none of the FFXIV team members are dedicated to work solely on this new expansion. While developing Heavensward, the team has also been working to implement new content into the existing FFXIV experience — including the fan-favorite Gold Saucer and Triple Triad, a fully featured deck-building card game that hearkens back to Final Fantasy VIII and is playable across Eorzea with NPCs and other players alike. “The thought of pushing Gold Saucer back to Heavensward never crossed my mind.†It was a conscious decision to add lots of new content, including Gold Saucer, near the end of the FFXIV 2.X storyline, to make sure players have plenty to do until Heavensward launches. “Gold Saucer was always part of the 2.X roadmap. It was always part of A Realm Reborn,†Yoshida explains. “The thought of pushing it back until Heavensward never crossed my mind.†Zones in Final Fantasy XIV are already huge — they’re designed to fit within 2km by 2km boundaries — but there are new scenarios to consider since Heavensward will introduce flying mounts (including flying chocobos and single-rider airships) for the first time. Flying mounts will get you around approximately three times faster than ground-based mounts, but Yoshida’s team is making sure to include surprising elements and discoveries within each zone to keep players exploring. Yoshida estimates that there will be around 1.5 times as much area to explore in Heavensward’s new zones — while there may be fewer zones, there will end up being just as much traversable area in Heavensward at launch as in A Realm Reborn. Final Fantasy XIV recently celebrated the milestone of four million registered accounts, but this success isn’t changing the team’s plans: “The number of subscriptions doesn’t necessarily affect the development of the game, since the number of people who can enter a certain zone or server is limited,†says Yoshida. “There may be opportunities to increase the number of servers to accommodate more players, but the content itself isn’t affected by the number of people playing.†He went on to explain that the development team is conscious of a gap between newer players and FFXIV veterans, and that they continue to look for ways to bridge content and help new Eorzeans transition into high-level content, eventually becoming veterans themselves. “One advantage of having more players subscribe is more revenue,†he continued, “not only for Square Enix but for us to put back into the game. By having more players join us, we can feed that back into polishing the quality of your gameplay experience.†Yoshida-san himself is an MMO veteran, and this has informed certain aspects of FFXIV’s design. An early inspiration was Ultima Online, which first opened his mind to the idea of players across the globe gathering in a virtual world to play together. The concept of PKs and PKKs also illustrated that while cooperation is fun, fighting against other players can be fun as well. Yoshida has taken a particularly close look at large-scale PvP in other MMOs, like World of Warcraft’s Horde vs. Alliance scenario and Dark Age of Camelot’s Realm vs. Realm. He specifically wanted to avoid situations in which one group would have a distinct advantage over another, hence FFXIV’s Frontlines mode that sees three Grand Companies competing against one another. Other MMO influences include public events from Warhammer, which saw further refinement in Guild Wars’ dynamic events. When they wanted to incorporate this kind of system into A Realm Reborn, Yoshida relayed to the dev team that they should have spontaneous live events that involve players who happen to be nearby. This eventually became the F.A.T.E. system, now a staple for FFXIV players of all levels. Final Fantasy XIV features hours and hours of original content, but it’s not afraid to borrow from the series’ rich history, either. “What we strive to achieve with FFXIV is like a Final Fantasy series theme park,†says Yoshida. “You have original attractions that have to be good, but we also want to incorporate elements that Final Fantasy players from any generation will recognize and be attracted to.†The team is conscious of the series passionate fan base though, and they’re careful to respect any source material they implement into FFXIV: “The relationship between Cloud and Sephiroth, for example, is very iconic to Final Fantasy fans. If we were to depict that in FFXIV, there’s a risk that Final Fantasy VII fans might see it and be shocked to see these characters behaving differently than they might have imagined. We don’t want to modify these characters’ stories — players have a strong affinity with them, and we want to respect that.†“…like a Final Fantasy theme park.†Of course, the breadth of the Final Fantasy universe isn’t to be underestimated, and Yoshida doesn’t expect that he’ll run out of content to nod to in FFXIV: “You might have noticed the Floating Continent in Heavensward, and I’ve always wanted to go to the moon (like in Final Fantasy IV). There are still many classic elements from Final Fantasy that we can incorporate, and we want to continue blending them into FFXIV for fans to enjoy.†I seized this opportunity to request that Yoshida-san and team let us fight Kefka in the future. Everyone in the room laughed, which I hope means they’ll consider it! Questions abound regarding how the new jobs in Heavensward will be implemented, since they don’t require a base class. Yoshida added some clarity when we asked for more details: “We were actually recently deciding what to call these jobs that don’t have a base class, and we’ve decided to call them ‘Extra Jobs.’ Just like when you can switch to different jobs when you’re at level 30, that applies to these as well. As long as any class or job is at level 30, you’ll be able to access any of these three new jobs.†Before meeting with Yoshida-san, we put out a call for questions on Twitter, and you responded in kind — thank you! Your questions, and Yoshida’s replies, follow: @PlayStation Will we have to finish the main campaign or reach a certain level to access Heavensward's main content? — John Fleury (@Behonkiss) March 2, 2015 Naoki Yoshida: If you already own A Realm Reborn and you get Heavensward, you’ll be able to at least enter Ishgard. The new jobs added in Heavensward are not tied to the main story, so those are accessible as well. In terms of the story, if you want to enjoy the Heavensward story arc, since it’s tied to the upcoming 2.55 patch, it’s a prerequisite to have finished that content. If a player had stopped playing around patch 2.2 or 2.3, I’d recommend choosing one of the new jobs and leveling that up while catching up on the story, then transitioning into Heavensward. @PlayStation What changes are going to be made to existing jobs? When can we expect the promised Benchmark? #FFXIV — niwaar (@niwaar) March 2, 2015 Yoshida: It’s tricky to say, but there will be changes applied to each job. One common change is that the job quest will continue from where it left off starting around level 52, so you’ll obtain new skills, spells and weapon skills. So when you go into combat you’ll have a wider range of selection in what kinds of actions you can take during battle. For example, if you play as a DPS job and you learn a new skill or spell, you can implement that into the command set you have built, or build a new one from scratch and strategize how you can apply these new skills. With some of the boss characters in Heavensward, you actually can’t fight them using your older skills — they might require you to know new skills that are only available after the level cap has been raised. This will create an opportunity for players to get together with the community to strategize how to beat these monsters. It’s safe to assume that you’ll be experiencing a new gameplay experience with the raising of the level cap. @PlayStation Will we see Ishgardians playing TT? Or will it be mostly traders/secretive in the areas since it's an "outsider" game? — Amber Grant (@Plutofaerie) March 2, 2015 Yoshida: It depends on how much dev time we allocate. In terms of Triple Triad, there will be 20 additional cards added in 3.0. Perhaps somebody in Ishgard is playing Triple Triad. Everyone’s been so focused on Triple Triad and Chocobo Racing that nobody’s doing the Hunt anymore! @PlayStation what are the winning numbers for the next jumbo cactpot? — Mature (@GregsVice) March 2, 2015 Yoshida: I participated and could have won first place… but I came in fifth. I was actually working that day, but rushed home to check the numbers thinking “I’m gonna win the jackpot!†but it turned out to be fifth place. But the winning numbers vary with each world. Only the Twelve know… Quotations provided through an on-site translator. They have been edited for brevity and clarity. View the full article

    Set in Celestia several years after The Guided Fate Paradox, The Awakened Fate Ultimatum follows the defeat of the powerful Satanael, and yet the war between the angels and devils wages on. Shin Kamikaze, your average high school student, is stabbed in the heart by devils while walking home from school. Before he dies, Shin is saved by Jupiel, an angel from Celestia, who brings him to Ariael, a devil scientist, who shoves the Fate Awakening Crystal into his chest, thus making him God. He is then thrust into this conflict, and must make “Ultimate Choices†involving angel, human and devil lives — determining who will live, and who will die. As the player guides Shin in his journey of being god, each Ultimate Choice and decision made by Shin heavily affects the story. Shin’s choices not only affect the characters he interacts with, but also the fates of those around him in Celestia. Upon undertaking his role as god, Shin is tied to two girls, Jupiel and Ariael, who familiarize him with the war in Celestia and guide him through his journey to accepting his role as god. These two girls could not be any more different. His exclusively assigned angel, Jupiel, is a sweet, hardworking angel who loves stuffed animals. Born into a noble family, Jupiel faces the expectation to become a splendid angel like her older sister, and is tasked with training Shin how to fight. In contrast, Ariael is not concerned with the war much, if at all. Although she is a prisoner in Celestia, she is given the freedom to act as she pleases in exchange for creating a god and researching the Fate Awakening Crystal, which is her top priority. While both of these girls care for Shin, the way they interact with him is vastly different. Jupiel is stuck between a rock and a hard place. It is essential that Jupiel follows her sister’s orders and continues to be strong in the rough war, but she still supports Shin’s decisions whether it coincides with her sister’s orders or completely opposes them. Ariael doesn’t show her feelings as directly as Jupiel, and shows she cares in her own unique way. She often appears to only care about the crystal that she created, but she displays her concerns and always offers him instant noodles. By providing Shin with good, yet cold advice, Ariael leads him to coming up with alternative options and scenarios to the challenging choices he is forced to make throughout the game. In the war, Shin is also challenged by Hien Inugami, a human who is similarly turned into a god. Unlike Shin, Hien’s powers are awakened in the Netherworld by the Fate Awakening Crystal and in order to become God, two souls were sacrificed. He is only focused on battle and doesn’t care about those around him or the war — only to fight the strongest angels, and he becomes excited when Shin appears. As he battles Hien, Shin is faced with the reality of his existence. In order for Shin to become God, both Jupiel and Ariael sacrificed part of their soul to save him, and as a result, his powers are draining the souls of his two guardians. Presented with this harsh reality, Shin must cope with the weight of his decisions, and must ultimately make the choice of who he will be able to save and who will die. How will you choose between the two girls? Make your ultimate decision on March 17th. View the full article

    Hey gang! This is Eric Pope from Harmonix. All of us at the studio are beyond thrilled to announce today that Rock Band will make its triumphant return to living rooms this year with Rock Band 4 for PlayStation 4! I’ve spent years as a community manager playing our various installments of Rock Band around the world with fans at every event you can imagine. I’m as excited as you are to have the next evolution of the franchise, Rock Band 4, on the current generation of console hardware. Since we released Rock Band 3 in 2010, Harmonix has branched out, developing projects in a number of new areas including motion control, PC and even VR. With every new project, the studio has challenged the perception of what a “music game†can be, and learned a lot in the process. With those lessons under our belt, we felt like we were prepared to dive back into our beloved Rock Band series, and actually push the genre forward. We’ve landed on a design that doubles down on the core Rock Band experience fans love, while innovating on gameplay in some super exciting ways that we’ll have more to say about a little later this year. I know what you’re wondering right about now: “How about all those Rock Band DLC songs I bought on my PlayStation 3?†That’s a fair question! We’ve always been committed to the idea that Rock Band is a platform, and as such Rock Band 4 will support all your previous DLC purchases at no additional cost! (Be sure to thank our friends at PlayStation, because we couldn’t pull this off without significant work from them!) Meet the TeamThe Rock Band 4 team is comprised of an immensely talented group of veteran game developers. I’m honored and humbled to work with these folks every day. This video piece will give you a chance to meet some of the passionate people behind the game and understand why we think the time is right for Rock Band’s return. Make no mistake, Rock Band 4 isn’t a simple “next-gen remaster†of an existing game- it’s the next step forward for the series. I can’t wait to rock out with you later this year! View the full article

    Ever dreamed of being a Desert Ranger? Soon enough, that will become a reality. We’re excited to announce we’re bringing our crowdfunded RPG Wasteland 2 to PS4, after an award-winning debut on PC. With Wasteland 2 Game of the Year Edition, we’re eager to open up the wastes to an even bigger crowd, along with tons of enhancements and improvements. So what is Wasteland 2? In this hardcore RPG, you take control of a squad of four Desert Rangers — plus any followers you pick up along the way — to keep peace in the post-apocalyptic Arizona desert. But a larger threat looms on the horizon, and it will fall to your team to deal with it… or die trying. You may have heard of the original Wasteland, which dates back to 1988, and is the inspiration behind the Fallout series and the godfather of post-apocalyptic games. With the help of over 70,000 fans, we’ve delivered a sequel that’s been able to benefit from 25 years of innovations, taking the deep character building, engrossing game world, branching story and reactivity from games like Fallout, and tactical turn-based combat in the vein of XCOM: Enemy Unknown. More than anything, our focus is on reactivity. We crafted a game that truly reacts to your choices. Save someone from overgrown mutant honey badgers? Break into someone’s trunk of supplies? Shoot some punk in the street and deliver some “wasteland justice� The game accounts for your choices and reacts accordingly, and no two experiences will be alike. The fate of the wasteland is in your hands, and the outcomes aren’t black and white. For the Game of the Year Edition, we’ve ported Wasteland 2 to Unity 5, the latest version of this highly versatile game engine, which has let us overhaul the game with some new visual effects, improved character models, upgraded environments, and Unity 5’s physically based shading to get more realistic lighting and shadowing. This is all something we wouldn’t have been able to do on the previous generation of tech. We are also not afraid of a rich narrative and memorable characters. Wasteland 2 is full of interesting and quirky personalities to interact with, logbooks and lore items to uncover, and detailed descriptions of the environments you’re exploring. We’ve even managed to go back and add new voiceover for key characters and story moments. We want the wasteland to be a place you really feel immersed in, and that goes beyond just graphics. Of course, that’s all great, but how does it play? In this new edition, we’re beefing up our existing gameplay and adding some new features. You’ll be able to customize your squad even more with our new Perks and Quirks (traits) to add unique bonuses and characteristics. Our new Precision Strike (aimed shots) system will let you target individual body parts to cripple or stun enemies, or shatter their armor so you can mop them up, giving you even more options in combat. And you’ll need those options, because we’ve been hard at work hand-crafting each battle you’ll find yourself in. With Wasteland 2, it was our goal to deliver our fans a game they wanted, and we were honored by PC World’s Game of the Year endorsement along with all the other accolades we received. With the Game of the Year Edition, we are totally thrilled to be able to bring that same hardcore gameplay to the PlayStation crowd in a bigger and better way this late summer 2015.

    Hi everyone! Following on Tiny Troopers Joint Ops that launched last year on PS4, PS3, and PS Vita with cross buy and cross save, we’re now bringing our second game to PS4. We’re partnering with award-winning developer React! Games based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, to bring you Super Dungeon Bros! Winner of the Best Social Game Award at Game Connection Europe in 2014, Super Dungeon Bros is a rock-themed, co-op dungeon brawler for teams of up to four players. You’ll take control of a group of hard-rocking warrior bros in the ever-changing dungeons of Rökheim, facing dangerous foes, deadly obstacles, and hazardous puzzles. Combining rock and fantasy, Super Dungeon Bros takes advantage of cross-platform multiplayer, allowing PlayStation bros to descend the darkest dungeons of Rökheim with their PC counterparts! There will also be a totally awesome single-player campaign so bros can rock it out on their own, although we’d much rather you rock it out with other bros! We’re also creating specific daily and weekly challenges as well as dedicated leaderboards. Just remember! No challenge is too big for the Bros as you hearken to the mantra “Bros B4 Foes!†We’ll be announcing more details on Super Dungeon Bros in the near future but if you have any questions, feel free to ask below or on our social media channels and we’ll do our very best to answer them all.

    Hey PlayStation fans! You may know me from the Game Industry Rumble or my appearances on Giant Bomb. I’m an indie developer based in Seattle, and for the past two years I’ve been working on a new kind of music game called Sentris. When I say “a new kind of music game,†what I mean is that Sentris is very different from the rhythm games you already know. I’ll tell you more in a moment, but first I want to share the exciting news that Sentris is coming to PS4! As a life-long gamer but relatively new game developer, it’s a major personal milestone to bring Sentris to PS4. I’ve played countless rhythm games, and the ones that have been most inspiring to me were ones I played on PlayStation. Rez, Parappa the Rapper, Gitaroo Man, Beatmania, Um Jammer Lammy, Bust-a-Groove, Beatmania, Guitar Hero, Vib Ribbon, the list goes on. Playing these games inspired me to become a musician, and then a music game developer. I’m extremely honored for Sentris to join this legacy of music games on PlayStation. I sincerely hope it will inspire many (or all) of you to spend more time playing and creating music. Now, what exactly is so new about Sentris? It’s a great question! All the music games I’ve played have shared one thing in common: you are recreating a song that someone else composed. As a player, I’ve been wanting a game where I get to make my own music with a high degree of control. Sentris is that game. To play, you drop curved blocks called “Sound Blocks†into a spinning loop. As you do, they play their contained sound, and they play once more with each full rotation of the loop. What’s more is that you can push Sound Blocks toward the center of the loop by dropping one on top of another. The way you drop the Blocks builds a song that is distinctive to your play session. Your choice of order, your choice of instruments, and your decisions around how to stack Blocks inside the loop all come together to make the songs uniquely yours. In short, Sentris is both a musical instrument that allows you to express yourself musically (and build real musical skills), as well as a puzzle game that enables your creativity. What’s the puzzle part of it? The loop is always filled with some puzzle objects called Gems. Gems light up when you drop a correct Sound Block onto them. Some Gems need to be matched with a specific instrument (represented by color), or they need to match a specific pitch (represented by a symbol). The challenge emerges when you try to match all the Gems using the Sound Blocks you have available. It’s harder than it sounds! Puzzle game fans should really enjoy focusing on the challenge of matching all the gems and enjoying their own emerging music. Some of you out there may be more interested in the musical instrument properties of Sentris. For all of you, I’m happy to share that Sentris includes what I call “Performance Mode.†This is the way to play Sentris with total musical control, choosing any sound or instrument you want at every moment. It’s the closest thing to actually standing on a concert stage with a guitar or keyboard. If the idea of making your own music with a controller sounds more fun than playing a puzzle game, I made Performance Mode with you in mind. There’s also an in-between mode, called “Remix Modeâ€. This is halfway between Puzzle and Performance mode, and acts as a bridge between the two ways of thinking about playing music. And of course, music wouldn’t be special without someone to listen to it! So I’m happy to take advantage of the streaming and video recording capabilities of PS4 to help all you budding musicians build your own fan followings. This may be a little bit of a tease, but I’m working hard to enable players to share their music in other ways that I’m not quite ready to talk yet. Please keep an eye on the Sentris Development Blog for future updates of the game’s progress. So what do you think? Does Sentris sound like a game you’d like to play on PS4? Do you find yourself more interested in the puzzles or the performance aspects of Sentris? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! View the full article

    This morning we’re excited to announce what our friends and colleagues at MachineGames are up to: an all-new standalone prequel to everyone’s favorite Nazi-blasting first-person shooter of 2014, Wolfenstein: The New Order! Arriving on PS4 digitally for $19.99 on May 5th, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood takes our hero BJ Blazkowicz back to the year 1946 in an adventure that spans eight chapters and two interconnected stories (released together) that will lead into the events you know and love from The New Order. Part one of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood – Rudi Jäger and the Den of Wolves — pits BJ Blazkowicz against a maniacal prison warden as he breaks into Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to steal the coordinates to General Deathshead’s compound. In part two – The Dark Secrets of Helga Von Schabbs – our hero’s search for the coordinates leads him to the city of Wulfburg where an obsessed Nazi archaeologist is exhuming mysterious artifacts that threaten to unleash a dark and ancient power. For a first look, watch our announcement trailer in the embed above, and this weekend at PAX East, look for our two-part livestream as Pete Hines and I tackle the PS4 version of the game on Twitch.TV/Twitch at 10:30 am Eastern Time on both Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th.

    Good day, beloved PlayStation fans and loyal Tropicans! El Presidente has gracefully decreed that today be forever remembered in the annals of history as the day when the release date for Tropico 5 on PS4 was finally announced! On April 28th, PS4 players will be able to build and rule over their very own banana republic in this new-generation exclusive. What kind of leader will you become? Will you be a vicious tyrant feared by many? Or a socialist saint loved by all? It’s up to you how to rule in Tropico 5, but the island of Tropico is a political desert filled with carnivorous carrion that will just as likely peck your eyes out as they would aid your government. Depending on what you want to achieve as Presidente, it’s essential to know the who’s who of the many political factions as you guide your people through the ages. We’ve therefore prepared a helpful intro to the various residents of the island and their political factions for you to familiarise yourself with. That way, when the inevitable betrayal does happen, at least you’ll know exactly who it was that stabbed you in the back! You’ll always have your trusty advisor Penultimo though. Sweet, loyal, dim-witted Penultimo… Character: Lord Oaksworth Faction: Royalists The rather well-bred Lord Oaksworth is an all-round top chap and good egg. He represents the interests of The Crown of England, so as long as you don’t go doing something silly like declaring independence (which you will do), he’ll be happy to share his wisdom with you. Character: Evita Vasquez Faction: Communists On the flipside to old Oaksworth, you have the bold Evita Vasquez; who will be regularly demanding the independence of Tropico whilst sticking up for the common man. She’ll be a useful partner when it comes to rallying the people, but don’t let her catch you building any banks… Character: Rudolph “Ruddy†Thompson Faction: United States of America Foreign relations become surprisingly important when you reach the era of the World Wars — and there are many different Superpowers to contend with. To avoid getting on the wrong side of the USA, you’ll need to impress Ruddy Thompson here. Even simply inviting him to your embassy and saying ‘good job, buddy!’ can keep things pretty. Character: Veronica Veneno Faction: Capitalists Veronica Veneno is “all about the benjamins.†The Capitalists she represents will go along with anything as long as the economy remains profitable. Restricting the vote to the wealthy is an easy way to stay in power… but how will you sleep at night? Character: Adriana Diaz Faction: Militarists Adriana Diaz is a power-crazed, war-mongering devil in disguise and won’t be happy until you start a war. Period. Character: Leon Kane Faction: Unknown Not much is known about the shady character known as Leon Kane, but he sure is charming. He regularly mentions something called ‘The Order’, but just what their intentions are exactly is a complete mystery. All we know is he wants El Presidente in power: which can only be a good thing, right? Character: Penultimo Faction: El Presidente! Penultimo is the right-hand man of El Presidente and will always be there to give you a quick self-esteem boost. His only agenda is to please you and keep you updated on how your city is doing. So expect regular information from him, and even more frequent outbursts of love. The scope of the political landscape in Tropico 5 is vast, with many more factions and characters to discover when Tropico 5 launches for PS4 on April 28th. Just remember, vote El Presidente! Or else… View the full article

    Hello from GDC 2015! About a year ago, we unveiled a prototype for Project Morpheus, the virtual reality system for PS4. Since then, we’ve been hard at work making the system even better. I’m pleased to return to GDC with an update on our progress, bringing us one step closer to its consumer release. We believe VR will shape the future of games, and I can’t wait for you to try Project Morpheus when it launches in the first half of 2016. Our goal with VR is to deliver a sense of presence, making the player feel as though they’ve stepped inside the world of a game. The new Project Morpheus prototype brings us closer to that goal, as it improves the visual experience and tracking accuracy, both of which are critical to achieving sense of presence. Key changes: OLED display: In exchange for the 5 inch LCD, the new Morpheus VR headset is equipped with a 5.7 inch 1920 X RGB X 1080 resolution OLED display. This new screen expands the field of view and enables low persistence, removing motion blur. 120hz refresh rate: The previous refresh rate spec has been doubled for this new prototype, which means games for Morpheus can be rendered at 120fps. When combined with the OLED display’s high refresh rate and the power of PS4, Morpheus is able to output amazingly smooth visuals. Super low latency: We know how critical low latency is to delivering a great VR experience, and we’ve reduced latency to less than 18ms, about half of what the first Morpheus prototype had. Low latency is critical to deliver a sense of presence, at the same time making the VR experience comfortable to players. More accurate tracking: To make positional tracking more precise, we’ve added three LEDs to the headset – one on the front and two on the side – for a total of nine LEDs to support robust 360 degree tracking. User-friendly design: We’ve made the Morpheus VR headset easier to put on and take off, with a single band design and quick release button. The headband supports the weight of the unit on the top of your head, so there is no pressure on your face. Other components have also been adjusted and configured to make the headset lighter, so that players do not find the headset cumbersome or uncomfortable to use. Revealing this new prototype is an important step in our journey to release Project Morpheus, but there is more to come. We’ll share additional details at E3 and beyond. In particular, we’ll show more VR games at E3 and later events as we get closer to launch. A new dimension of gaming is almost here, and PlayStation again is at the forefront with Project Morpheus.

    So, OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood is out today, and it’s free on PlayStation Plus! Everyone at Roll7 is hyped that the game is part of this month’s PlayStation Plus lineup. This means that millions of people will be able to get their hands on our little skater. It also means that leaderboards competition will be crazy, with people racing to become King of the Spot, Daily Grind Winners and smash their way up our new Ultimate Spots Leaderboards. So, for those that have not heard about OlliOlli (where have you been?!!) the original game came out on PS Vita in January 2014, then on PS4, PS3 and PSTV later that summer. The concept is relatively simple: it’s a side scrolling skater in 2D – think Canabalt meets Tony Hawks Pro Skater. However, we cunningly gave the game a control system based around skating ‘movement’ (we are skaters ourselves). In OlliOlli you rotate and flick the left stick then press X to land. We were blown away with the game’s reception over the last year and how it managed to claw its way into so many people’s lives! It has even been nominated for a BAFTA for best Sports Game – totally beyond our expectations! So, a sequel you say? Yes, we started work on the game design doc for the sequel in winter 2013 once we had finished OlliOlli1. We knew that there was a list longer than our arms of things that we wanted to do, including a dramatic change in how you play the game. In fact, OlliOlli2 started life as an infinitely generated runner (or skater!), where obstacles, challenges and worlds all level up as you do. This design doc was fully complete by the time that our new Gameplay Designer – Dre, started in January 2014. Dre took the design doc and spent three weeks getting to grips with it, questioning various bits, pondering and tweaking, until one Tuesday lunchtime. Tom (Producer), Dre and I headed to Hanoi Pho, a Vietnamese cafe in Deptford (London) to discuss the doc. Dre had serious concerns about changing the core gameplay dynamic to such an extent, this document had been written up before OlliOlli was released… Were we making a massive mistake? As ‘vision-holder’ for the game, it was tough to hear the truth – and for a few days I resisted the notion but Dre was steadfast (which for someone who had only been with us for under a month was commendable). He was right: the OlliOlli core gameplay loop was solid. People liked it. It was a ‘thing’. Unlocking the next amateur level by making it to the end of a level, then unlocking the corresponding Pro level by completing all of the objectives afforded players a flexible progression model. If it aint broke… We decided to rip up the doc and start afresh, then Dre and Manuel (our lead artist) really went to town on the vibrant Welcome to Olliwood theme, something that the game really benefits from. Each world and even each level feels unique, which given that there are 50 Career levels and 50 Spots to grind through in the game is no mean feat for our small team. Gameplay has been massively enhanced with the addition of Ramps, Jumps and Epic Hills allowing for monster air and split level routes. The much praised OlliOlli combo system is way deeper, through the joy of Manuals, Reverts, Revert Manuals and Grind Switching. The team have even been updating the hallowed ‘Tricktionary’ with new specials including 540 Shovits, Anti-Casper Flips and Darkslides to name but a few. The end result is a slick, flowing skate experience, which adds meaningfully to the original OlliOlli, something that we promised ourselves at the start of the project, even after days and weeks of testing, the game still has the ability to get its claws into even us. We can wait to see what people make of it. To show off all the changes, we put together a short five-minute doc highlighting the evolution of the game over on our channel here. We are still working away on some very final changes to Combo Rush (our epic new mode), which will be patched in free as soon as we are 100% happy with it, so keep an eye out for that bad boy too… OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood is truly the ultimate Next-Gen Skating Experience, so, go grab it on PS4 and PS Vita starting today.
