Over the past few years, gaming technology has improved tremendously, with the technological innovations driving the development at an even faster rate. But one major downside is the fact hat the cost for the games are also increasing in direct correlation. The worst part about the cost is the DLCs, and how integral they are becoming to the gaming experience. Gone are the times when DLCs were optional – you know, something cool you could go for if you really liked the game, but was okay even if you didn’t buy it. But now, they’ve become kinda necessary if you want to enjoy the game. The initial game seems to be nothing more than a basic entree, you need the DLCs for the full main course. Here’s an example. The base price for Battlefield 1 is $70, which doesn’...
As promised, Sony revealed a Slim version of the PlayStation 4 at the Sony PlayStation Meeting on 7th September. The PS 4 Slim is essentially the same as its predecessor, but in a smaller form factor and more portability. It offers the same power and internal specification as the original PS 4, and is fully compatible with all the currently available software. The new console also comes with a redesigned version of the DualShock 4. The lightbar is now oriented to face the player a little better, so they can see the notifications prompted by in-game events. The optical port was also dropped out, but apart from that it has the same I/O options. Talking about size, it is supposed to be about 30% smaller than the original PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 4 Slim will be available on retail stores...
Alas! After the E3 announcement where Bethesda said that they will be bringing the power of mods to consoles, allowing you modify your game as you please, Bethesda recently posted on their website that Sony will not allow the support for mods on the Playstation 4. Here’s what the announcement reads: “After months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition. Like you, we are disappointed by Sony’s decision given the considerable time and effort we have put into this project, and the amount of time our fans have waited for mod support to arrive. We...
A new gameplay trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda was showcased at the Playstation Meeting, showing off the 4K capabilities of the Playstation 4 Pro. The trailer features very unfamiliar alien environments, a new power jump mechanic and the new default Ryder character. As the first official gameplay for the game, it offers significant insight to what we can expect from the game. I mean, 4K is all good, the PS 4 Pro is cool, but I’m definitely more psyched for Andromeda. According EA, a new trailer is on the way, and they will “officially open the doors to the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe”. I’m guessing it will be some sort of Early Access/Alpha/Open Beta kind of thing. Check out the cool high-res trailer below. Mass Effect: Andromeda is expected t...

One of the most talked about news in the gaming world the past week had to be the hike in the PS Plus subscription prices. Existing PS Plus subscribers have long complained that paying for this “exclusivity” doesn’t live up to its hype. The reason this service is a paid one is so that Sony filters out and only puts the best games on PS Plus. Now we’re not asking for triple A titles or new releases. The game doesn’t have to graphic intensive, but at least have a good story to make the game memorable for the player. One often wonders where the money being charged is being spent? It clearly isn’t spent in filtering out or curating games to present to the gamer. Honestly, some games look like they have been made using in-game assets on Unity a...
Sony seems to having quite a lot of trouble containing their new upcoming addition to the PS 4 console family, the PS 4 Slim. After the online leak followed by an unboxing, a UK based used goods retailer CEX has now listed the PS 4 Slim for a price of £380. Right now, it doesn’t have any stock available and it might a simple placeholder, but now you know what it’s going to cost on their website come the release date. However, the listing also says that CEX will offer £304 to anyone who wishes to sell their PS 4 Slim to the retailer. A few months, CEX was in the news for selling copies of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End ahead of its release. The PS 4 was leaked earlier when the console was sold on Gumtree. Sony is trying to keep a lid on the official statements as the person be...
