Remember Deep Down? You know, Capcom's gorgeous action-RPG that was first shown off at the big PlayStation 4 reveal a couple of years ago? Well apparently it's undergoing some significant changes.
All order and no chaos makes for a dull experience.
The first time I saw The Order: 1886, the PlayStation 4 exclusive by Ready at Dawn, I was stunned by the presentation. This was way back at a pre-E3 event in Santa Monica last year. The 19th-century Victorian England-era setting was super crisp. Every detail felt genuine; the heavy-looking clothes each member of the order wore looked realistically cumbersome. Though the game was set in an alternate steampunk-inspired world where thermite guns blasted iron wooden structures to pieces, it felt more real than most games.
I've made a habit of ending Challenge Accepted episodes on high notes, but last week was a notable exception. The Valley of Defilement in Demon's Souls nearly crushed me. I left the episode dejected, but I'm not one to give up on a fight.
The ability to capture screenshots is coming to Xbox One next month in the March system update.
According to Major Nelson, you'll be able to take screenshots "by simply double-tapping the Xbox button on your controller to capture a screenshot and pressing Y to save the screenshot." Meanwhile, those who have a Kinect "can also say 'Xbox Take a Screenshot' to take and save a screenshot."
The Order: 1886 launches tomorrow for PlayStation 4. To gear up for the game's big release, the folks over at Sony and Ready at Dawn have released a launch trailer.
The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed the story behind the creation of Tingle, while also addressing the character's sexual orientation.
"I guess the heart of the character there is a little bit of a gag kind of feeling to it," he told Kotaku. "The way the design of the character started is that we needed to think about how the character—the player—would get access to maps in this game."
The PlayStation brand is going to be of the utmost importance to Sony as the company moves forward, CEO Kaz Hirai announced.
The television and smartphone divisions of the company aren't doing particularly well, as Sony continues to struggle to compete with the likes of Samsung and Apple. As such, Hirai has revealed that he won't rule out doing away with those divisions entirely. We saw the company do this in the PC space with its VAIO line of computers.
If you've been keeping up with the brilliant stuff I say — and you should be — you've already heard my take on factoring price into review scores. Today I was reminded of one reason why. With that, I direct you to the dumbest fucking thing floating among a sea of dumb fucking things:
Originally slated to launch on March 17, 2015, the upcoming racing simulation Project CARS has been delayed to April, as announced by Bandai Namco and Slightly Mad Studios.
Project CARS was originally given a release date of November 2014 before being pushed to March 2015. This second delay pushes the PC version back to April 2, the Xbox One and PS4 versions to April 7, and the Wii U version still in limbo.
Shadowrun: Hong Kong made headlines in mid-January for reaching its $100,000 goal in only two hours. Now, at the end of the campaign, developer Harebrained Schemes have amassed over $1.2 million from over 31,000 backers on Kickstarter
Sony celebrated the 20th PlayStation anniversary late last year with specially designed PlayStation 4 consoles and followed up with an auction for the first one. The winning bidder failed to pay, but Sony plans to step in and donate the money to charity according to Kotaku.
I love my portable games. ThereÄ‚Ë€â„Ës something wonderful about having both bite-sized and fully-fledged experiences in my hands whenever I like it, and especially now with the inexpensive technology involved, plenty of new and unique experiences can be had. In fact, one of the first features I wrote for GameRevolution was breaking down about how he believed fully-featured portable consoles were on their way out and would soon be replaced by tablets and the iPod Touch (which he pointed to specifically). I defended my portable love and pointed out, by reason and the numbers, just how full of crap he was.
The brewing controversy over the five-hour speedrun of the single-player steampunk The Order: 1866, which releases exclusively on PS4 this Friday, has simmered over at developer Ready at Dawn.
Nostalgia is not really a factor in why I enjoy adventure games. I honestly appreciate the format even if some games are not respectful of playersÄ‚ËĂ˘â€šÂ¬Ă˘â€žË time or patience. Like any other gaming genre, not every adventure game is worthwhile. Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock, which is an HD upgrade of a free Flash-based game, manages to feed that adventure game itch at its most basic level without overstaying its welcome.
The Evil Within is getting its first round of add-on content in March, Tango Gameworks and Bethesda have revealed.
Aside from the fact that the downloadable content is dubbed "The Assignment," we still know very little about it. Fortunately, we have a teaser trailer to tide us over until Bethesda and Tango are ready to reveal a bit more about what's coming. One thing is for sure, however, it'll probably be filled with a disturbing helping of gore.
Just a few weeks ago, we got word that gold and silver Mario amiibo figures were in the works. Now, we have reason to believe the gold version of Nintendo's iconic character will be exclusively available at Walmart.
Square Enix and Humble Bundle have joined forces once again to serve up a second Humble Square Enix Bundle.
The bundle includes a whole bunch of amazing games, including the likes of Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs, and the Director's Cut version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
World of Tanks, the free-to-play tank combat game from Wargaming, is coming to Xbox One in 2015.
Better yet, those on the new-gen version of the title will be able to play with folks on Xbox 360, as cross-generation support will bridge the two communities on Microsoft's gaming platforms.
I head off another week of GameRevolution LIVE with this stream of Hand of Fate, an extremely creative hybrid title that combines cards and third-person action adventure. I play three complete rounds with a handful of early bosses and I do completely fine... until I foolishly run into four Huge Failures in a row, GAH!
For the second time in as many months, Harmonix released brand new songs for Rock Band 3 as DLC, and fans of the series may want to take particular note this time around.
Last month, Harmonix, the studio behind the Rock Band franchise, surprised fans with new DLC tracks from Arctic Monkey, Avenged Sevenfold, and Foo Fighters, calling them a "special treat." Today, Harmonix treated fans again with two new tracks, this time from Weezer and Tenacious D.

A decent trip to Deadrock.
