Sony’s new studio is focused on its virtual reality headset, Project Morpheus
Sony’s got a new studio focused on producing for the company’s virtual reality headset. And maybe I should have mentioned this earlier, but like, isn’t the peripheral’s codename just fucking perfect? Morpheus. Just strap this little bit of technology on, and go to sleep. Forget your life, problems, the world. Check out and write us checks for your eternal, now all-encompassing distraction. Or something. IDFK.
Sony’s Project Morpheus VR headset droppin’ first quarter 2016
Sony’s put a pseudo-release date on their entry in the Johnny Mnemonic sweepstakes. The son of a bitch will be dropping in the first quarter of the year next.
Hope dies: ‘The Last Guardian’ trademark abandoned
Abandon all hope, ye fellow Shadow of the Colossus and ICO fans. It looks like the totally-not-vaporware game The Last Guardian that was set in the same universe (or some shit) is dead.
PS4 and XB1 install bases are 60% larger than their predecessors were after 15-months
And here we were thinking that God-Tier PC and mobile gaming were going to evaporate us luddite console cowboys. They may (probably) will yet, but not if this generation has anything to say about it.
PlayStation Now subscription service dropping January 13
PlayStation Now’s subscription service is coming, finally, on January 13. And it’s bringing a subscription service with it. One of the head-scratchers regarding Sony’s game-streaming service was the fact that initially you only had the option to rent the games. Will this shift in policy get me to sign-up? Fuck nah! But I imagine it will for some.
New ‘God of War’ officially announced. Cause like, why not.
Totally didn’t see a new God of War coming down the pipeline. I’m always taken when Corporate Overlords announce new installments of Unfathomable Cash Cows. In any medium.
‘Final Fantasy VII’ coming to PS4! But! It ain’t a f**king remake
Squaresoft-Enix-Eidos-Whateverthefuck straight trollin’ us now. The Company That Doesn’t Matter Anymore announced today that they’re bringing Final Fantasy VII to PS4. But it ain’t the remake we’ve been clamoring for over the past fifteen years. Just an upscale whateverashit port. Same one that has already dropped on Steam.
PlayStation whuppin’ continues, outsells Xbox 3:1 in Q1 2014
Now fucking listen! I own both the DelayStation 4 (LOL I HATE MYSELF FOR PUNS) and the XBONE (I STILL HATE MYSELF), so I have no real vested interest in the console wars. Actually, maybe I want really healthy competition so both companies push themselves. That said — and I don’t know why — I do enjoy watching Sony continuing to roll Microsoft by their fucking ears. (And for those of you who want to point this out, I realize Sony doesn’t differentiate between PS3 and PS4 sales.)
E3 2014 MASTERPOST: CLOSE-OUT, ASS-OUT, VIDEOS & NEWS COMPENDIUM
OKAY FOLKS. Listen up. Between the alimony hearings, the drug use, the fact that Feedly went down for two fucking days, and my favorite butt plug melting in my dishwasher (which required an immediate journey to the upper mountains of the Appalachians to replace), there’s some E3 STUFF I DIDN’T GET TO. However, I also posted a fucking fuckload. Here in one batch is everything I’ve caught from E3. Posted, and previously unposted. Sorted by console. Don’t see your fave announcement/game? Hit the comments. I’ll add it. I know I’m missing a lot. Also! Use this space just to shoot the E3 shit. Read the rest of this entry »
