Never Ending Night: Knight’s Saga Early Impressions

No Man’s Sky Will Not Need PlayStation Plus to Play
In a rather odd twist, No Man’s Sky will not require a PlayStation Plus subscription in order to play it when it launches on August 9th. Considering the game is set in a universe with significant online infrastructure, it’s a foregone conclusion that it is a multiplayer game. Hence, the game would need PlayStation Plus to play, as PlayStation Plus is required to play with or against other players ...[Read More]
No Man’s Sky Faces Another (Maybe Permanent) Delay
No Man’s Sky, the PlayStation 4 exclusive that is poised to occupy my life for the foreseeable future, is facing another possible delay before its August 9 release. This delay, however, may be permanent. A Dutch company named Genicap is alleging that Hello Games, the developers of No Man’s Sky, used their Superformula without licensing it. The Superformula is basically a math equation that allows ...[Read More]

Original Dead Rising Hinted At for PS4
Dead Rising 4 was announced as a timed exclusive for the Xbox One. For any PS4 players that feel bummed out with that news, Capcom may have a pretty cool stopgap for you. Exophase has released a trophy list for Dead Rising, the original Xbox 360 exclusive released in 2006. They have developed a habit for spoiling game releases very early on, so many are speculating this is more of the same. While ...[Read More]

As if Dead or Alive 5: Last Round’s cheesecake count wasn’t high enough, Team Ninja announced an addition to the roster that might break their jiggle physics engine for all eternity. Announced this weekend during the 2016 Dead or Alive Festival in Japan, Mai Shiranui will be added to the roster of the latest entry in the series, one month after her inclusion as part of the Women Fighters Team in T...[Read More]
Rockstar’s The Warriors Available on PS4

This is not a remaster, however. It is the original game, upscaled to 1080p and supporting trophies. The Warriors features beat-e...[Read More]
Fallout 4 mods for PS4 delayed by Bethesda
Bethesda has experienced trouble with enabling mods on the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4, and it seems Sony is the one to blame. Sony is limiting the mods to 900MB of space. This is in contrast to Microsoft, which allows 2GB of space for mods. In addition, the PS4 edition of Fallout 4 seems to suffer from poor optimization, which makes the issue worse. Bethesda was ready to roll out a beta of...[Read More]
Battlefield 4 and Hardline Getting New UI
Battlefield 4 was a bug-riddled mess when it was released three years ago. DICE, however, has never stopped fixing and fine-tuning the game. Soon, it and its successors are getting an all-new user interface that will make it easier to set up squads. The new user interface will be rolled out to Battlefield 4, Battlefield Hardline, and Battlefield 1. It will allow players to create squads before a g...[Read More]
E3 Impressions: Sony Conference
There is one trend that has propped up in recent E3 shows that I dislike. Once all the major conferences are concluded, various video game cognoscenti gather up and declare which company “won” E3, meaning what company’s conference was the best. I dislike it primarily because it implies that, despite any good things shown at other conferences, they don’t matter because one conference WON! I don’t t...[Read More]
