by Sammy Barker Chuck everything in In addition to wiping the floor with Microsoft’s abhorrent used games policies, Sony’s strategy for the latest generation seems to have centred on one very simple tactic: bundle everything. The platform holder has announced a dizzying number of hardware packages over the past 12 months, and this set available in Germany is the biggest […]
by ‘cynella’ PlayStation Home – Server closure notice PlayStation Home has been serving the PS3 community since December 2008. During that time, tens of millions of users around the world have grown the social gaming platform into a thriving community of creative and enthusiastic gamers. Due to a shifting landscape, PlayStation Home will cease publishing new content on the 12th […]
by Jacob Siegal Over the past several months, we haven’t had many game releases to occupy our time. That’s all beginning to change, with huge games like Destiny, Forza Horizon 2 and Shadow of Mordor either already out or coming soon, but the free Games with Gold have been doing a stellar job of tiding over Xbox owners in the […]
by Ryan Winslett It’s another wide assortment of new offerings on the PlayStation Network this week, with a little something for everyone on tap including the PS2 classic, WALL-E, the latest FIFA, an all-ladies fighting game for the PS3 and a visit from Slender Man on the PS4. For those of you who haven’t tried out PlayStation Plus just yet, […]
by Oscar Lee WWE may have gone PG the past several years on the television side, but WWE 2K15 is, fortunately, keeping a lot of the Attitude Era elements. The ESRB released a rating for the video game, giving a Teen rating for Alcohol Reference, Blood, Mild Language, Suggestive Themes, Use of Tobacco and Violence. The summary mentioned chairs, tables […]
by Adi Robertson Oculus has announced a new prototype called Crescent Bay, another step towards the consumer version of its virtual reality headset. “It’s as big of a leap as we made from DK1 to DK2,” says Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe, referring to the first two versions of the Rift development kit. The new headset features 360-degree tracking, letting the […]

by Owen S. Good Online play in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is moderated, and players who cheat, disconnect or even engage in unsportsmanlike conduct face sanctions. However, it appears a glitch is causing some users to be automatically banned for doing nothing wrong. According to EventHubs, users who select Peach in the online “For the Glory” mode have been […]
by William Usher Microsoft had previously mentioned about utilizing their Azure cloud services for more than just offloading server data and hosting multiplayer games through titles like Titanfall. The company hinted at cloud streaming before, but new information indicates that they may be taking a similar approach to streaming in the same way that Sony is approaching the market with […]
by Owen S. Good Over the past few years, hardware modder Ed Zarick built a number of “Xbook 360” laptops, at about $1,000 each, on commission. When the Xbox One launched, his fans wondered if he’d come up with a portable version of that console as well. He has. This is the “Xbook One,” comprising a 22-inch Vizio 1080p LED […]
by Dan Crawley Destiny is getting a supply drop of extra content just days after launch. Developer Bungie wants to keep its shared-world, first-person shooter alive for a long time to come, and it’s already bringing fresh missions to the game, which brought in over $500 million in one day. Starting today, Bungie is adding new events for Destiny players. […]
by Giuseppe Nelva This morning Warner Bros. announced that Batman: Arkham Knight will be a PS4 exclusive in Japan, but didn’t mention if said exclusivity would be permanent or temporary. Apparently, it’s a rather permanent affair, as Microsoft was forced to remove its official page dedicated to the game, which still scheduled the Xbox One version for 2015 for a few hours after the announcement. You can see it above for the posterity. Now it simply leads to a broken link. But that’s not all: Ubisoft Japan also opened today the registrations for the Japanese beta of The Crew, and the publisher announced that the testing will be done exclusively on PS4 as well. For the moment the game itself […]
by ‘Anders’ It seems like many new Xbox One owners are reporting a specific issue, since the console has launched in Tier 2 countries a few days ago. The problem occurs on Kinectless consoles, and it consists of a loud buzzing or rattling sound when the console is idle (for example, when it is in the dashboard). Of course it is difficult to say how widespread the problem is, but is seems like quite a few are experiencing it, based on the 500+ posts in the Xbox Support forums on this problem. Other forums, including NeoGAF, report this issue as well. On Twitter, the hashtag #xboxnoise has been launched in order to draw attention to the problem. It is unclear […]
by Marco Bessey Editor in Chief of TouchArcade, Eli Hodapp tweets during the unveiling of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus that the latter “will play games in higher resolution than next generation consoles.” The truth is, it really will. But can the iPhone 6 Plus also deliver the processing firepower to run triple A titles? Theoretically, yes it can. While all the hype over the iPhone 6 and iOS8 is sizzling in Cupertino at the moment, let’s step back a bit and revisit WWDC. During that event, Apple senior vice president of Software Engineering Craig Federighi introduced “iOS 8 Metal” which is meant to provide “near bare to the metal access to the power of A8.” What does […]
by Giuseppe Nelva If you have the disc version of Destiny, or have completed its preload, you’re gonna have some more downloading to do, as Bungie released a day one (actually, day minus-two) patch that updates the game to version 1.02. At the moment the changelog of the patch is not available, so we don’t know what it fixes or improves, but considering the online nature of the game we can expect more down the line. The patch weighs 296 Mb on PS4, and no, if you’re wondering, it doesn’t allow access to the game. We’re going to have to wait a bit more for that. http://www.gamersoutpost.net/
by Giuseppe Nelva Console platforms are always evolving, and manufacturers often look into pushing the envelope by providing their developers with the best tools to create the best games, but also to make their life easier. Sony seems to be planning to do just that, as revealed by a career opportunity ad seeking a Senior Java Engineer. “SCEA’s Tools and Technologies Group (TNT) provides tools, infrastructure services and run-time technology to a broad set of Sony Computer Entertainment divisions. We work closely with all of our Vita, PS3 and PS4 game teams, and with QA groups from all regions. We have an immediate need for an expert/lead Java/Web/Server software engineer.
