The only relatively weak spot is that they have dropped the inFAMOUS franchise to work on a new IP, and that is objectively an element of challenge. One of the elements that can overcome that challenge is certainly flavor, and they picked the flavor that can certainly make the audience notice and remember the game: Ni
Building on this year’s E3 finale, Insomniac’s adaptation of the web-slinging hero was also heavily implied to release in the first half of this year during the aforementioned Layden interview. Spider-Man will likely complete the trio of release date reveals that will take place during PSX, along with perhaps another in-depth gameplay demo to show off the scope of Insomniac’s newest release.
Sucker Punch was also featured on last year’s PSX speculation article, and then proceeded to remain outside of the spotlight until October, with an in-engine trailer and brief gameplay tease that stole the show during Paris Games Week. Ghost of Tsushima is also guaranteed to have a presence on Friday night and Strategynewsbase.com during Saturday’s panels, and considering Sucker Punch’s release schedule for their past few titles, fans could end up seeing quite a bit of this ancient Japanese title.
As we approach the year’s end, this time has recently started to bring about two traditions for gaming enthusiasts: The Game Awards and PlayStation Experience. Both bring about their fair share of hype and announcements, but the latter has often done a solid job at preparing PS4 owners for the year ahead, particularly in regards to Sony’s plans for their first-party titles. Heading into 2018, Sony has a potential-filled lineup of varied titles, primarily from studios that have reared their heads after years in silence. While the publisher has hinted at some of their reveals inbound next week over in Anaheim, there’s still plenty more to speculate upon for eight of the PS4’s biggest releases.
David Cage’s latest tale seems to be nearing completion, as President of SIEA Shawn Layden hinted at in an interview back after E3. Having also received multiple gameplay demos, Detroit: Become Human is one of three titles likely to receive a release date during Friday night’s press conference, along with perhaps one more trailer to tease the three protagonists’ journeys in this near-future game.
While the main character in Ghost of Tsushima is originally a samurai, the end of the announcement trailer shows clearly that he is going to take up the mantle of the ninja. Not only does the concept of “ghost” make it clear, but at the end we see him in ninja garb, using shinobi tools, and stealth to fight off the Mongol a
Join us on Saturday at 3:30pm as Nate Fox (Creative Director), Jason Connell (Creative/Art Director), Billy Harper (Animation Director), Ryuhei Katami (Associate Producer, Sony Interactive Entertainment) and moderator Brian Altano (IGN) discuss how we approached making the debut trailer and what inspired us to make this game. We’ll share epic concept art that’s driving the tone and visuals for the game, and share a little about our reference trips to Japan and working with new team members that are helping make Ghost of Tsushima even better. Also be sure to stop by our signing session after the panel and come say hi. Stay tuned for more info on time and locat
The new trailer features more of the classic tongue-in-cheek jokes, although the real highlight is the introduction of a live-action cat – remember, all these movies take place in the real world – dubbed Meow-thra. Brilli
It’s definitely looking set to address many concerns with the DCEU thus far, with a more balanced tone and strongly defined characters. Unfortunately, the Aquaman footage that played in the same panel was not relea
Even though SuperData’s reports confirm more of the same kind of results video game fans have come to expect in 2016, there are still a number of interesting insights to be gleaned from what the firm has found. Bolstered by sales that were stronger than Destiny ‘s initial launch period, the release of Destiny: Rise of Iron in September rocketed Bungie’s shooter to the top of the console charts over traditionally dominant fall releases like FIFA
For those looking for an even more thorough analysis, however, research firm SuperData has quickly made a name for itself in video games due to the company’s willingness to examine more online-oriented data like microtransaction sales and the like. Recently, SuperData finally released its findings for the September 2016 period, and it appears that the dominance of some of gaming’s biggest titles will not be broken easily – Pokemon GO , Destiny , and League of Legends topped the cash grossing charts for mobile, console, and PC gaming respectiv
