With new maps and weapons coming to PUBG, we also have another addition that, presumably, no one asked for. The latest test server update adds comeltoes to female characters, drawing unwanted attention to their genital area. Take a look below: While I have nothing against cameltoes, in fact, I am all for it, it’s only fair that male characters get a similar treatment, and be given an obvious bulge in the same area. There’s has been a lot of talk regarding this across social media, and we would love to hear what you guys think of this. About Miramar – New Desert Map We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating...
Before ye champions dismiss this as tripe, consider for a minute the points that may actually work in the favour of a mobile game like Mini Militia. Here, I’ll look at both these games from the perspective of a college kid because that is what I am. If you are a serious gamer who is already fuming over the title of this article, stand down, friend and read on. Graphics There really is no competition here. Mini Militia is the ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ to CS:GO’s ‘War and Peace’. However, the mobile platform severely restricts what the developers can do and Mini Militia does a nice enough job with its cartoony graphics. The point here is that even those without a laptop to their own can easily get into Mini Militia. Even if you don’t have a fancy laptop, chances are that even your budget smartp...
It’s no secret that the Xbox brand has not done all that hotly this generation. Even now, with the launch of a hot new console in the Xbox One X, it feels like there is no zeitgeist surrounding it whatsoever- it’s come, but it’s made no impact, no mark. There is no conversation presently about the Xbox or its games- conversation is still dominated by PlayStation and Nintendo. And this, to me, embodies the central issue Xbox has had all throughout the generation- it lacks mindshare, cachet, and buzz in the mainstream and enthusiast consciousness entirely. This is in stark contrast to the original Xbox, which managed to find a place for itself in public consciousness due to Halo and the pioneering Xbox Live, and other high quality exclusives such as Conker, Shenmue, Knights...
There has been a lot said about single player games recently when many calling them dead or saying they’re not as viable as they once were. I always get asked about this and so I thought I’d take some time to put together my own thoughts. I’m interested in seeing if this helps contextualize some of the talk we’ve been seeing around the demise of single player games. Are single player games dead? The short answer is no. The long answer is a lot more complicated. When people talk about the industry moving away from single player games they are usually referring to third party, AAA, linear, Single Player, narrative driven, $60 games. Why this distinction? Because rising costs of video game development and increased expectations means that a lot of these games simply ar...
When I first heard about the upcoming game, Black Mirror, I assumed it was based on the popular show of the same name. However, it’s not that at all, instead it’s inspired by the Black Mirror trilogy of point and click adventure games released back in 2003. And it’s actually pretty good. It’s part horror, part mystery, and is laden heavily with gothic atmosphere that will easily suck you in. You play as David Gordon, who returns to his ancestral home in Scotland after the death of his father. There’s something amiss about the place, and the events surrounding the family home, and it’s on you to uncover these secrets. Inspirations from Poe and Lovecraft are immediately noticeable, especially in the writing, tone and the setting. There’s slow exposition, all of which reveals a compelling plo...
From the first moments we were introduced to Trico many years ago, there was a special connection between that mysterious creature and its beholder. After we reannounced The Last Guardian at E3 2015, we explored the idea of a Trico fans could interact with. What became the Trico projection wall was something that many of you might have seen at a subsequent PlayStation Experience show. Still, even after the launch of the game, we wondered about ways to bring across the special bond between Trico and the boy in even more engaging ways. The launch of PlayStation VR offered a tantalizing means to do exactly that. We are proud to announce The Last Guardian VR Demo, a special virtual reality experience VR set in the unforgettable world of The Last Guardian: one filled with haunting ruins and bre...
Donut County is a game where you play as a hole in the ground. It still feels ridiculous to say it, because it shouldn’t have worked. You move around a tiny hole, you make stuff fall in, and the hole gets bigger. Often you have to wiggle things inside that are just a bit too big. Eventually you can demolish buildings, drain rivers, and star in your own adorable disaster movie. It’s as simple as that, or at least… that’s how it started. I’ll be honest. When I first prototyped Donut County in 2012, it started as a joke. It was the weekend of Molyjam, a 48 hour game jam dedicated to making games inspired by jokes inspired by the work of the ambitious game designer Peter Molyneux. The idea was simple, to make a game where you controlled… nothing. Well, the absence of something. Okay, a hole in...
That’s another PlayStation Experience in the books! And we’ve been holding onto some especially exciting news. Hot on the heels of this year’s smash hit Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, we’re making another PlayStation fan dream come true: a proper, PS4-grade resurrection of the original MediEvil just in time for the game’s 20th anniversary. If you’re not familiar with the MediEvil series, it’s a colorful action-adventure game originally released in 1998 for the original PlayStation system. As the resurrected Sir Daniel Fortesque, players defend Gallowmere from the evil forces of Zarok, a sorcerer with the power to control the dead. The game is noteworthy for its unique horror-comedy tone and its early contributions to the world of 3D gaming. It’s still a fan favorite, and I’m proud we can...

Though we have repeatedly confirmed that Shadow of the Colossus on PS4 is a full, ground up remake of the all-time classic, it is a fact that is harder to communicate via text or stills. To make it more clear, we have created a comparison video, which you can watch above, that shows the amount of work that has gone into this project to fully leverage the horsepower of modern gaming consoles. For the first time, we are also happy to confirm that PlayStation 4 Pro users will benefit from two play options: • Cinematic: Emphasizes image quality, and for owners of compatible 4K HDR displays, boasts a beautiful dynamic 4K image targeting 30 fps • Performance: Delivers an extremely fluid frame rate targeting 60 fps Shadow of the Colossus has never looked this good, or moved with this much fluidit...
