Stu at Sushimonster85 writes 'Remember that first year of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One? It was pretty barren, those of us who chose to adopt early (guilty) bore the brunt of the uncertainty among game developers/publishers at the time Of course, flash-forward to today and the very notion that there things were so uncertain at one point seems crazy. Both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are outpacing the PS3 and Xbox 360, and cross-gen release consistently sells better on the newer consoles. Now were through those difficult drought days we even have games starting to come out, if anything, theres almost too many to chose from over these next three and a half months.
When I tried to form a shortlist of games I (ideally) want to pick up on release day, as opposed to those I could probably wait for. I failed miserably. This shortlist is nine games long. NINE GAMES. Even if I had the financial means to keep up, there wouldnt be enough time to get through them all.'

| Nioh details online element, first screenshots
Added: 18.09.2015 12:17 | 46 views | 0 comments
Nioh protagonist William can fight using multiple weapons, including swords and spears. Spears have a wider range and can strike a larger number of oponents, but is difficult to use in confined spaces. Each weapon has its own characteristics such as this. Additionally, switching between a higher offensive stance and lower defensive stance will be an important element.
There will be an online element called Chinokata Dzuka (Bloody Sword Mound). When youre connected online and playing the game, youll see the bloody sword mounds of players who have died sticking out of the ground. When you touch it, that players Jigurui (Corpse Deviation) will appear and a battle will ensue. You can see their name, level, and cause of death before deciding whether to summon them. Corpse Deviation battles are dangerous, but defeating the summon might earn you useful items.

| Bungie talks about The King#39;s Fall Raid, Old Hunger, and cheesing
Added: 18.09.2015 12:00 | 148 views | 0 comments
As and beyond.
Want to know how hard The King's Fall Raid is? Or about the secret endgame weapon in TTK? Maybe you just want to know what Bungie really thinks about the way you cheese the Nightfall. All the answers are a few clicks away...
"I think there’s definitely stuff out in the game and out in the world that probably hasn’t been discovered yet... I don’t have a list of all of it! I know there’s a bunch of stuff in The Taken King that’s going to be pretty exciting to watch people uncover and figure out and... I am really looking forward to that."
"I think when you get into the realm of; while you’re playing the actual game, the right thing to do is to press the Start or Options button, go into your menu and switch stuff... I think you’re getting into a kind of scary place. Because then you're actually asking people to not play the game how it's meant to be. We need to make sure that we’re not doing that. If it ever was like “OK, juggle between the Defender and the Sunbreaker as damage types rotate on a boss” and that was the only way to beat him, I think that’d be like a bridge too far, yeah."
"I think that a year ago, we probably would have felt like a bunch of our systems were stable.Turns out they weren’t as stable as we’d hoped or, when exposed to scale, we found flaws with them and we had to fix them. We’ve done a lot to re-factor the way the game economy and the character level and how power works, and you always hope that that’s your next best idea. And so I think that one of the things for us at Bungie that’s really important is to be looking for that next potential pivot. If I were to say right now, “this system is going to last forever” then that would be foolish. I think that The Taken King is our next best effort at how we’re going to evolve character progression."
"I think the thing I’m most excited for is people’s reaction overall to the Dreadnaught. Like the entirety of the Dreadnaught part of the player experience, because I think that that represents us taking a bunch of... risks isn’t the right word, but that’s us pushing in some different directions, and so I’m excited to see how the community reacts to that. And if it brings them together, that’s going to be a great outcome."
"I assumed my position on The Taken King once I joined the project, after I finished my core responsibilities on vanilla. However, I was basically working during the day on The Taken King and then at night on Destiny vanilla, so it’s been in development for a while, and we’ve had different members roll on and roll off it at different rates. So it definitely accordion-ed up to be a sizeable team. And now it’s where... we’re in the period where it’s gotten small again. But the development timeline: I actually don’t know that, I don’t remember when I officially started!"
"I think there’s a lot of ingenuity and creativity in the 'cheesing' of encounters, but what it really is is the quest for efficiency, man! It’s all about the quest for efficiency, and when you have an activity like Nightfall, which is so punitive for losing – getting kicked to Orbit and having to re-do everything - you’re behaviourally incentivising players to play the game in a way that might not be super-fun. The game is at its most fun when you’re able to over-commit yourself, get yourself into trouble, emerge victorious and get yourself out. And the vanilla version of Nightfall kinda conspires against that, so we have to do something like soul searching as developers to say “OK, well – what’s going to be fun, and is the fun that we’re trying to create for you, are you able to have it?” What are the barriers between you and that gameplay experience? We have to continue to get better at that."
"Oh no, it takes a bunch of work, like going back in and messing with those Strikes and trying to refresh them without refreshing every element of them is a non-trivial amount of work, but we wanted the total Strike offering and the Strike drops to feel new and fresh for people, whether they’ve had Destiny for the last year or they’re just getting it this time this year for the first time. We chose the Strikes that we put in the new Strike playlist pretty carefully. We wanted to have them represent Strikes that haven’t been played a ton by players already."
"Oh man! There are probably two that come to mind: one of them is named the Sleeper Simulant, and it is a Heavy Exotic Fusion Rifle that shoots a rail projectile that bounces. It is styled in that sort of 'Rasputin-tech' styling - it’s a beautiful weapon.
"And the other one... I believe the final name for it is going to be The Old Hunger, and The Old Hunger is the gun that you forge over the course of the endgame. Like, you’re going to be finding pieces of it as you go, like basically putting this thing together is the ultimate trophy for primarily a bunch of TTK. I think that that gun as... it’s like wrapped in cloth, it has an orb in the centre that’s... it’s crazy! To see someone put that together, with all of its moving parts will be pretty mind blowing. I’m sure someone’s going to do it!"
Is it tough? Here’s the thing man, if I say it’s tough, then people flog me if it’s not super-hard. If I say it’s easy then people are upset if it’s hard. Difficulty of the Raid is a question that really scales to each group. So what we’ve done... construction wise is we’ve built the Raid differently this time than we’ve built them previously, where we’ve actually built Hard Mode first. So we built the whole suite of the mechanics for Hard Mode up front, and then looked at that and said “OK, this feels good for that Hard Mode challenge, what sub-set of these things will feel good for that group of six who’s coming in to play through the game” like the... “What are the pillars for the Raid activities?” Any motivated group of six players who are willing to cooperate and communicate can beat the Raid – that’s what we’re looking for and that’s our bar. It’s not just for a die-hard and their friends, it’s any motivated group of players who are willing to cooperate and communicate can beat a Raid in Destiny. So that’s our bar for Normal, and then Hard Mode’s hard mode.

| Hands-On Preview Transformers: Devastation | DualShockers

DS:
"When Transformers Devastation was leaked prior to this years E3 press conference, I was skeptical. While Bayonetta 2 was highly regarded as another masterpiece of gameplay, Platinums last licensed outing The Legend of Korra received mixed reactions at best. So while I appreciated the G1 influenced looks of the Transformers and was happy that Activision wasnt putting the Transformers license to sleep like it has with Crash Bandicoot, I still didnt expect much from the game itself. Thank the Prime robot heaven gods that Devastation is not a mediocre action game by any means. Instead, we have another contender for near perfect action gameplay, and this time with a clever usage of Transformers most iconic features."

| I am Bread review for PS4 | Gaming Age
Added: 18.09.2015 9:17 | 11 views | 0 comments
GA:
When you hear the title, "I am Bread", it's safe to assume you don't expect a serious game. Having said that, I get the joke, this is a game where you control baked goods. That includes more than just plain old sliced bread, but more on that later. I know everyone has been dying for a game that lets you live the life of a slice of bread, but sadly you're going to have to wait for a better loaf, because I am Bread is just too frustrating to be fun and the novelty wears thin rather quickly.

| How Online Multiplayer Corrupted A Great Company Like Rockstar

Remember when micro-transactions were said to be the works of the video game devils and that no one in their right mind would support such a business structure? Welcome to 2015 where micro-transactions are the norm in gaming and just about every mobile game that releases, uses this as their means to make ends meet. The problem is that we as gamers have settled for this instead of demanding more for our money. Because so many of us have $100 for 90,000 gold bricks for a mobile game. While you could slow play it, who has that kind of time. When it comes to console games, they have began creeping their way into the landscape with games like Assassins Creed Unity and Mortal Kombat X adapting to the change in times. If mobile games can do it, why cant console games you might ask.

Greg Micek writes: "When Between Heartbeats launched on Kickstarter earlier this week I was sure it was going to be a success. Its a shmup for Steam and the WII U with pretty graphics, smooth looking controls, and a cute gimmick that doesn't beat you over the head with education. Traveling through someones veins and shooting virulent invaders sounds great. An edgy Innerspace if you will."
