Vice: Have you seen the latest advertising for the PlayStation 4? "The world's most powerful console," it boasts (not for the first time), chest puffed out, pair of socks stuffed brazenly down its trousers. But while this claim may be technically true from a numbers perspective, it's also a little misleading. The Xbox One is hardly a wheezing Citroën 2CV compared to Sony's Hummer, is it? This isn't David and Goliath, or George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. There isn't, in all honesty, much disparity between the two. You might get to play Battlefield Hardline in 900p on PS4 as opposed to the Xbox's 720, but is this a gulf in output worth losing sleep over? Not unless you're extremely precious about things that don't actually matter, or you're twelve. This generation's "console war" is built on the untruth that there's a fundamental difference between the Big Two. Bar a few exclusive titles, there isn't. It was the same with the last generation. And the one before that. In fact, t...

Vice: Released in February 2010, during the peak of the Xbox 360 era, Deadly Premonition offered the world a unique window into gaming's delightfully ramshackle and sometimes ugly past at a time when big-box video games could be incredibly conservative. The obtuse masterpiece was the product of six years of tireless work by a young Japanese auteur named Hidetaka Suehiro, who is commonly referred to as SWERY or Swery65. Production began at Access Games back in 2004 under the title Rainy Woodsan ambitious "cynical urban drama" with a strong focus on forensic science and murder mystery. The game was officially unveiled at Tokyo Game Show in 2007 earning immediate comparisons to David Lynch's classic TV drama Twin Peaks. But production was ceased shortly thereafter due to "technological difficulties." A more educated guess would be that Access risked facing a lawsuit for creative, or copyright theft, despite the end product remaining heavily in debt to Lynch's vision.

David Tierney writes: "Simon, a four-coloured toy, made one of the first attempts to draw that line between sound and touch. In video games, this connection is something thats been pushed, stretched, and twisted to a point of near disintegration. Today, were going to have a look at how the rhythm genre began, rose to near global domination, and then plummeted from its mountain of plastic peripherals."

Founder and CEO of Frontier Developments, David Braben, had a busy GDC, picking up awards and announcing the release of massive space MMO Elite: Dangerous on Xbox One later this year. Initially revealed as an Xbox exclusive, Braben later admitted on Twitter that PlayStation owners will just have to be patient. Why? It's a timed deal, which means PS4 owners can hold onto their free time for a little longer.

David Lins writes: "When it released in 2012, Dennation Games' Hotline Miami presented us with a question: do you like to hurt people? The game took violence to the next level with some of the most brutal gameplay ever conceived. It made you uncomfortable, not just because of the violence but because, deep down, you were enjoying it. In the end, the game left us with a powerful message about violence in media and how dangerous it is to glorify it. But now its 2015. Plenty of games, like Nier and Spec Ops: The Line, have made similar statementssometimes in frighteningly effective ways. What could a sequel to Hotline Miami really bring to the table? Well, the answer is pretty much nothing."
