IGX 2017 Dates and Venue Announced
Last year’s IGX (Indian Games Expo, if you must), saw some great moments with games like For Honor being playable before release. Not only that, we also got a glimpse of the PS VR before its official release this year. The bar has been set high, and hopes are high for this year as well. IGX 2017 will be held in November, on the 18th and 19th to be specific. While the event will still take place in Mumbai, the venue has been shifted from last year’s World Trade Centre to the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Goregaon. Not much information has been revealed about what publishers can be expected to be seen at the expo, but it’s likely that the focus, like last year, will be new games being playable to the masses rather than indulging solely in competition. But that doesn’t m...
Is It Time To Take Microsoft And The Xbox Scorpio Seriously?
Microsoft is clearly fallen behind this generation, and is clearly hurting. Right from the onset, with a bad opening at the E3 reveal for the Xbox One, Microsoft managed to alienate its fans, and Sony smartly pounced at the chance and took the vast majority of gamers with it. Three years later, Microsoft and it’s Xbox division seem to have learned from their many mistakes, and look eager to win back the gamer audience with innovative and high-power hardware, and a customer friendly marketplace. Sony sure has the audience’s attention now, not so much because of the power that the PS4 has to offer, but more so because of an extremely compelling library of exclusive titles. However, they have been very slow in making changes that their consumers and avid fans have been asking for ...

In our past few PS.Blog posts we’ve talked about the PS VR Aim controller and how it brings a whole new level of control and immersion to Farpoint. We’ve also discussed the co-op mode and how you and a friend can play online together in VR.
