One of the founders 

Need for Speed Rivals developer talking with fans.

Need for Speed Rivals developer Ghost Games says it needs to do “a much better job” with the fans of Need for Speed going forward.

The studio aims to accomplish something “dramatically different” for the series, and to that end, Electronic Arts and Ghost Games will have “more open conversations” with fans ahead of the next Need for Speed game’s release in 2015.

Nilsson says, “We need to help define for [fans] what the Need for Speed experience is,and they can help us define what that experience is. Then we can stay true to what that experience is.”

Nilsson is already spending time on the phone with hardcore fans about the future of EA’s games. This is part of “a big movement inside EA, within every brand, really,” to engage fans in a transparent dialogue about development. “That definitely is part of the reason we’re going to do things quite dramatically different to the Need for Speed brand.”

The PS4 will require a day one system update (software version 1.50)

The PS4 will require a day one system update (software version 1.50) in order to enable Online Multiplayer, Remote Play, video recording and pretty much every other PS4 feature we've been promised.

The update will be approximately 300MB and includes the following features:

Remote Play: Users will be able to access PS4 titles displayed on their living room TVs and play them on a PS Vita system over Wi-Fi networks by using PS4 Link (Depending on network environment or titles, remote play performance may vary outside of the home). We anticipate that most PS4 titles will be playable on the PS Vita system through Remote Play. The latest PS Vita system software version, to be released soon, will be required to use PS4 Link.

Second Screen: Users can use the PS4 Link application for the PS Vita system, and PlayStation App for iPhone, iPad, and Android-based smartphones and tablets, to use these devices as second screens in supported titles. PlayStation App has the ability to enable users to interact with games with their mobiles devices. For example on The Playroom, a title pre-installed in all PS4 systems that requires PlayStation Camera, users can draw pictures on their mobile device screens and flick them towards the TV. The images then appear as a 3D object within the game.

Record, take screenshots, and upload gameplay effortlessly: The PS4 system provides dedicated, "always on" video encoding systems that enables seamless uploading of gameplay. Users can share their epic triumphs by simply hitting the Share button on DualShock 4, take screenshots or scan through the last 15 minutes of gameplay, tag it and return to the game – the video uploads as the user plays. At the PS4 system’s launch, users will be able to share their images and videos with friends on Facebook and screenshots with followers on Twitter, though users will need to sign up for individual accounts to use Facebook and Twitter.

Broadcast and spectate gameplay: The PS4 system also enhances social spectating by enabling users to broadcast their gameplay in real-time to game fans around the globe, using Ustream and Twitch live internet streaming services (users will need to sign up for individual accounts to use Ustream and Twitch). There are two ways for users to view live broadcasts. First, the Live from PlayStation application on PS4 aggregates streams from all PlayStation users. Second, users can spectate friends’ PS4 gameplay from PCs, and applications such as Ustream, Twitch, and browsers, which are installed on their mobile devices. These applications can be easily started up via PlayStation App, and users can also use these applications to post comments to gameplay broadcasts. Furthermore, users with PlayStation Camera can stream camera images and microphone sounds along with their live gameplay broadcast.

Play as you download: This feature enables users to play supported digital titles as they are being downloaded. The time it takes to begin playing will vary depending on game data size and network environments, and not all titles will support this feature When a game is purchased, users can start playing after PS4 downloads a portion of the data, while the rest of the game is downloaded in the background during actual gameplay. Games may be downloaded in stand-by mode.

Multi log-in: A maximum of four users can log-in to a single PS4 system simultaneously. These players can use their own save data to play games, and also earn trophies on their own Sony Entertainment Network accounts even when playing a multiplayer game together on a single PS4 system.

Party (Voice chat): By using the Mono Headset bundled with the PS4 system, users will be able to chat with up to eight friends enjoying different applications or games. Furthermore, users can use Party to chat between PS4 and PS Vita systems.

Face recognition and voice commands: Users with PlayStation Camera will be able to register their facial image onto their PS4 system, and login to their system using facial recognition instead of DualShock 4. Furthermore, users can use either the microphone of the Mono Head set connected to DualShock 4, or PlayStation Camera to navigate through the PS4 home screen (PlayStation Dynamic Menu) with voice commands to start up games and shutdown the system, among other features; please refer to PS4′s online manual for recognizable voice commands.

Background music player: Users can enjoy gameplay while listening to music in the background with Music Unlimited, a cloud-based digital music service. Users can also voice chat with friends while listening to music. Learn more about Music Unlimited here (LINK: http://www.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/music-unlimited/why-music-unlimited/).

Online Multiplayer: PlayStation Plus members will be able to play PS4 titles online with other players via the network. PS Plus makes it easy for members to join available online multiplayer matches in a variety of ways, including the ability to easily join a game from a live stream broadcast or Party voice chats.

Blu-ray Disc and DVD player: Users can enjoy not only gaming on their PS4 system, but also Blu-ray and DVD video contents. When using for the first time, users must connect to the internet to activate this feature.

PS4 launches November 29 in the UK.

Without the update we're not sure exactly what the PS4 will be capable of doing.

Deus Ex Universe

Eidos-Montreal has announced Deus Ex Universe: a series of interconnected games in the Deus Ex franchise, planned to span PC, next-generation consoles, tablets, smartphones, books and graphic novels.

We first heard about Deus Ex Universe through a trademark filing spotted last month, but up until now we didn't know anything about it. In a blog post, studio head David Anfossi described Deus Ex Universe as "an ongoing, expanding and connected game world built across a generation of core games.

"It continues, "It’s a commitment on our part to deliver meaningful content that expands the franchise on a regular basis and to deliver a deep conspiracy that will span several connected Deus Ex games, creating a more immersive and richer experience than ever before.

"Deus Ex: Universe will include PC and console games, but also additional Deus Ex games and experiences available in other media such as tablets, smartphones, books, graphic novels, etc..."

Eidos-Montreal has apparently started production on the first product in Deus Ex Universe; a new game for PC and next-generation consoles. Anfossi also added that most of the team who worked on Deus Ex: Human Revolution have already jumped over to the new title.

While we may not have a name for it just yet, we have been given a piece of concept art that supposedly shows "shows trans-humanism segregation, which is a backdrop to our vision for the next Deus Ex. It represents a "ghetto-city' voluntarily built in order to separate the classes. The people in this segregated class have reshaped their environment, nostalgic for their ideal of Cyber Renaissance. This dark and dystopian vision sets the tone for things to come in Deus Ex."

Given all the talk of "an ongoing, expanding and connected game world" that'll expand "on a regular basis", the temptation is to assume this may mean a Deus Ex MMO could be on the way in the near future. Until Eidos-Montreal gives us more details though, we're just going to have to be patient.

To tide us over however, the studio has announced the long-awaited Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut will be available on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and PC on October 22 in North America and on October 25 in Europe and Australia.

Steam Controller

Here is your first look at the Steam Controller, which was unveiled by Valve today marking their third and last announcement for this week. The Steam Controller does away with thumbsticks and replaces them with trackpads, which gamers thumbs will sit over. There is also a touchscreen located in the center. The controller will feature rumble support and has various buttons surrounding the touchscreen as well as around and below the trackpads. Valve has stated that the Steam Controller was designed to work with the entire Steam library. The Steam Controller will be comparable to a high-end PC gaming mouse. More details about the controller will be released in the future. Overall, it seems as if Valve is ready to take on the gaming hardware giants and we believe their success depends on a huge Steam library with continued discounts, future support from developers, simple user accessibility, and competitive console pricing.

Upcoming Ubisoft Digital Games Reportedly Leaked

In image, discovered by A9VG and posted onto NeoGAF, has surfaced showing the names of several yet-to-be-announced Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD.

While none of these titles have been officially confirmed, Liberation is presumably going to be a remake of the Vita game released last year under the same name.

Other titles shown on the image are Child of Light (the game revealed at GDC Europe last month), Assassin's Creed: Pirates, Rayman: Fiesta Run, Rabbids: Big Bang, Endwar Online, Valiant Hearts: The Great War, and Autodance (which we assume is Just Dance-related).

Little is known about what these games might be, but since they're rumored to be announced at Ubisoft's Digital Day event, they're most likely going be mobile, downloadable and/or free-to-play.

Reaper of Souls expansion coming to consoles...

In an interview with Polygon over the weekend,
"Diablo III" director Josh Mosqueira intimated that the recently announced "Reaper of Souls" expansions could eventually come to consoles.


"Our philosophy has always been we work on one project at a time," he said. "We've got 'Diablo III' on PC awesome, we released it, and then a small team splintered off to work on 'Diablo' for the current consoles. Now the team's really focused on 'Reaper of Souls' for PC."

"So if you look at the past, you can probably infer what the future might bring. We don't have any announcements at this point."

This isn't an announcement for a console version of "Reaper of Souls," obviously, but it's hard to imagine Blizzard not bringing the new content to an imminently expanding audience eventually. With that being said, release dates for "Reaper of Souls" -- on the PC or otherwise -- are still up in the air.

One thing I do know is the console version comes out in only 8 days. 9/3/13

Add me on the psn (sk8rickyb) if you are down to "Go to hell" with Diablo III

PlayStation 4 release date

PlayStation 4 will release on November 29th, 2013 in Europe and November 15 in the US and Canada. Revealed during Sony's Gamescom 2013 press conference, the $400 next-gen console's date will compete with Microsoft's November release window for Xbox One.
PlayStation 4 has already surpassed 1 million pre-orders worldwide. It will launch in 32 countries.
You can pre-order the PlayStation 4 now. 

New Game Plan, For ps4 and ps3

Today at Sony's Gamescom 2013 press conference, Sony announced that gamers that buy Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed IV, Call of Duty: Ghosts, or Watchdogs on Playstation 3 will be able to buy the digital version for Playstation 4 for a "significantly discounted price" once it becomes available, presumably when the PS4 launches on November 15 in North America.

Although not stated explicitly, this program seems to be a direct response to GameStop's promotion that allows gamers to trade in their current-gen versions of games to get them on next-gen for just $10 more.
EA, Activision, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. were named as partners in this program. Presumably more games will be announced as part of this digital upgrade program in the coming weeks.
