ScourgeBringer Travels to PS4 And Vita

ScourgeBringer Travels to PS4 And Vita

, , , , 0

There’s a new roguelite platformer, Scourgebringer, that just arrived on Playstation 4 and Vita…yes, we said Vita. You might have heard Sony had plans to shut down the digital market, but they changed their mind a week later. They probably held off the handheld’s execution date so this specific game could be released on it properly. “Oh right, ScourgeBringer.” Guide our hero Khyra as she hacks and slashes her way through the corridors of a dangerous dungeon on a mission to save her world. Helping her out is a combat drone that you can use to shoot enemies that her sword can’t reach. The game is partially inspired by The Binding Of Isaac, and as such does not allow backtracking, instead relying on a procedural combination of pre-built challenge rooms. Developer Flying Oak Games is aiming specifically at the Vita niche with this, and has even managed to produce a physical version…how, you may ask, when Vita physicals have been shut down? They’re doing it directly from Japan — the

Sony Reverses PS3 And Vita Shutdown Decision

Sony Reverses PS3 And Vita Shutdown Decision

, , , , , , 0

Approximately three weeks ago, Sony made the announcement that it was shutting down their digital marketplace for Playstation 3, Playstation Vits and PSP games this summer. PSP was to go down July 2, and PS3 and Vita would have their plugs pulled August 27. Any games purchased prior to that deadline would still be downloadable from the user’s account, but there would be no buying anything new from that point forward. The response was immediate, loud, and overwhelmingly negative….so much so that Sony walked back the decision today. “It’s clear that we made the wrong decision here,” said Sony Interactive head Jim Ryan, with cartoon sweat shooting out of the sides of his head. “When we initially came to the decision to end purchasing support for PS3 and PS Vita, it was born out of a number of factors, including commerce support challenges for older devices and the ability for us to focus more of our resources on newer devices where a majority of our gamers are playing on. We

Rumor Has It Sony Is Shutting Down PS3 And Vita Stores This Summer

Rumor Has It Sony Is Shutting Down PS3 And Vita Stores This Summer

The tug of war continues between manufacturers, who want their products to be disposable, and consumers, who want their products to last as long as possible. A report is making the rounds that Sony has plans to turn off the digital marketplace for Playstation 3, PSP and PS Vita this summer. According to the report, the PS3 and PSP servers will shut off July 2, followed by the silence of the Vita servers August 27. Sony has not officially announced these plans. Even if the report does not turn out to be true, it WILL be true eventually. And when it happens, there are a lot of games out there that simply won’t be available in any form. We don’t just mean obscure digital titles from the late 2000s, but PS1 Classics like Suikoden II and Adventures of Tron Bonne that fetch gazillion-dollar prices on eBay. Currently, the PS3’s digital marketplace is the only way they can be played affordably (well, there’s another method, but Sony isn’t fond of it).

At Last, A Release Date For Battle Princess Madelyn

At Last, A Release Date For Battle Princess Madelyn

We know when Battle Princess Madelyn is coming out! Casual Bit Games’ long-in-development sidescroller will at last be ours December 6. Funded on Kickstarter last year, Battle Princess Madelyn is a hard-as-nails retro sidescroller in the spirit of Ghosts and Goblins and other such titles. There’s an actual Madelyn out there — a 7-year-old was involved in the creation of this game and inserted a royal version of herself into this fantasy world. The game was originally scheduled to see release much earlier in 2018, but thankfully, it will be released before the year is over. “It’s been an exciting, exhaustive, stressful, enjoyable, frustrating, etc. period over the last two years developing Battle Princess Madelyn and I would do it all over again,” says Christopher Obritsch of Causal Bit Games. “The feedback that has been given in the creation of the game, the positive remarks, the way social media, the specialist gaming press, etc. have supported the game throughout this long period has been nothing short of remarkable. “The end

Playstation Vita: 2011-2019

Playstation Vita: 2011-2019

, , , 0

Sony today confirmed their plans to cease production on the Playstation Vita in Japan sometime next year. Japan remains the only location where the woeful handheld is still produced — the US and European versions went out of circulation years ago. The PS Vita was launched as a successor to the PSP and a potential competitor to Nintendo’s DS. Despite the smaller screen and underpowered hardware, the DS left the PSP in the dust saleswise. The PSP was far from a flop despite this. The Vita can’t be described as anything but. Vita launched in Japan in 2011, and in Western countries in 2012. As bad luck would have it, this was precisely the time when smartphones started seriously overtaking dumbphones, and the new games for those phones took a large chunk of the casual market away. The remaining audience — kids and hardcore gamers — were more satisfied with Nintendo’s 3DS. Some of the blame for Vita’s failure lands at Sony’s feet. Post-launch, Sony barely promoted the device, choosing

Limited Run Games performs a great service to mankind by printing physical editions of digital games that might otherwise face eventual deletion from the universe. Ordinarily they keep their release schedule to their chest, until today: the company revealed a ton of upcoming releases on the way during their first-ever E3 presentation, broadcast on Twitch in hilariously low-budget fashion (greenscreened people on a CGI stage with a literal cardboard audience). Below is everything Limited Run revealed today, in order of announcement. The dates mentioned are for when preorders will start, not when the games ship. Golf Story — Nintendo Switch, September 2018 A huge get for Limited Run. Golf Story was a big hit on Switch’s digital storefront, and the physical version should sell crazy numbers.

Axiom Verge To Be Published On Disc With Bonus Features

Remember Axiom Verge? It’s a sidescrolling exploration game heavily inspired by Metroid that won the hearts of critics everywhere in 2015. It’s a game so good, you could buy it twice. Now you should give that thought serious consideration, as a version for your shelf will be released soon. The physical version of Axiom Verge will be out in two forms: a “Standard Edition” that’s super-cheap at just $20, and a “Multiverse Edition” that bumps the price to $30 but includes a deluxe booklet with developer’s commentary and art, a double-sided poster, and a making-of documentary on DVD. It’s the documentary that’s the real prize, since the story behind Axiom Verge is almost as good as the game itself. It was created by one solitary man: Petroglyph Games engineer Tom Happ. He worked on the game in his spare time for five years, and pulled off results more impressive than twenty-employee teams. “Fans have been asking for a physical retail version of Axiom Verge since the game originally launched,” says

Forme Executive Says PlayStation Vita Came Too Late

, , , , , 0

IGN recently spoke to former Sony Computer Entertainment of America CEO, Jack Tretton, who was candid in his thoughts of the problems for the PlayStation Vita, Sony’s handheld PlayStation console. During a recent edition of IGN Unfiltered, Tretton voiced his thoughts that the device came out too late. Tretton stated, “Now that I don’t work there anymore, I think internally it was: ‘This is a great machine, it’s just too late.’ The world has shifted to portable devices that aren’t dedicated gaming machines.” The Vita was preceded by the PlayStation Portable, which was a lot more successful than the Vita in bringing experiences that were comparable to game consoles to a handheld device. In addition, the PSP did a good job of bringing in older gamers. Unfortunately, the Vita was hurt by being released at a time when those types of devices were on the decline. Not to mention, the popularity of smartphones and tablets grew exponentially, which made the Vita less relevant. Tretton said the Vita was a “nice machine” that
