It seems like this week there’s a fair amount of previews to let you know about, along with what Yoshimitsu looks like in the latest Tekken! Spoiler: It’s really odd.

Other news this week includes something for those who missed out on the Rocket League Beta (or enjoyed it a crazy amount like myself) and also, the rise, hype, and fall of a fake MediEval reboot all in the space of 2 days.

You know what’s first though, don’t you?

Although this was announced back in the PS Experience, it hasn’t received a crazy amount of advertising space in the mean time:

Disney Infinity 2.0

To be perfectly honest, it actually seems like they may have forgotten about this game, after announcing 3.0 last week and failing to even give it a mention during the blog, along with the seemingly low effort blog post about its launch,  they haven’t put too much money in marketing for this game that’s for sure. I’m positive it went all toward that single PS Experience announcement, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure it’s a great game, but I just haven’t seen any effort on Disney’s part promoting the game, here’s a screenshot from the blog post, along with a video of the PS3 version.

Spelunker Z

We already knew about its release on PS4, but ‘Project Code V’ was announced via Famitsu (Translated || Original), apparently, the game will be released on May 21st; this would obviously by for the JP region, there’s been no word on a date for EU/US, but it is good news that there’s a new game coming for the Vita nonetheless!

The game will feature cross-save and also cross-play, Square Enix aren’t a fan of giving away a free copy of the game for some strange reason, crazy, right? If you’d like to take advantage of the two ‘cross’ features you will need to purchase both copies, unless they announce something soon and surprise the socks off of me!

Please be excited, right?

In the introductory paragraph, I mentioned about the hype of a fake MediEvil concept, it’s very unfortunate that this is a fake, but it wasn’t created just to disappoint us.

The last time we saw Sir Daniel was when he starred in Playstation All-Stars, 2012, before that was 7 years prior in 2005, in a PSP game that was actually pretty good, I remember buying it while on holiday from America and it satisfied my journey home on the plane, along with Daxter.

Anyway, the reasoning behind making us all excited then crushing our happiness was because the creator wanted to show Sony that there are still fans out there wanting for a Medievil game but unfortunately the POC videos have now been set to private, they weren’t too interesting though, it just showed him walking.

Pictures are still on the internet, however, so here they are:

This was only done by one person and goes to show simply the power of what Unreal Engine 4 can do, this is AAA quality graphics I feel, anyway, and would really hope that Sony take a note from what this guy created.

Even if this little charade did get a ball rolling at Sony, AAA games take from 2-5 years to develop, so unless the ball is already rolling over there I doubt we’ll be seeing anything anytime soon, unless they decide to announce a game ridiculously early like they did Kingdom Hearts 3…

This week there was an event for the press to get a chance to play DMC4 Special edition, where they got to play as Vergil, Dante’s infamous brother.

As a result of this event, Capcom released a video showing off Vergil’s combat playstyle, and may I say it looks pretty awesome. A couple of the weapons Vergil uses are used by Dante in the game, but his swords make for an awesome looking weapon to play with…

Take a look at the video below, which shows Vergil fighting against generic enemies in the game:

If you aren’t old enough to remember the original Pro Skater games on PS1, then you missed out. I was lucky enough to be old enough to just experience THPS3 on the PS1, well, depending on how well it’s done, you may be able to experience what I, and others experienced 14 years ago; with the announcement of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, it will be a homage and hopefully improve on what I played years ago. Let’s just hope the soundtrack is just as good, with awesome songs like The Ace Of Spades. Oh, I can’t wait!

Some features of the game have returned, like create your own skater and also the ability to create your own skate park, but with improvements such as your skate park is able to be uploaded online for others to play, and vice versa.

Gameinformer had a bunch of images from the game, and here they are in an Imgur album so you are able to view them all nice and conveniently!

With the imminent announcement of the latest addition to the Assassins series, Ubisoft has started teasing for it, although there was a leak featuring a few gameplay images, which are below, Ubisoft have released the picture with the knuckleduster below.

This picture essentially confirms the fact that it is set in England, or at the very least England features prominantly in the game. Why is this obvious?

Well, ‘God Save The Queen’ is a motto in England that we’ll say. Also further proving it’s time set and location is the quote:

We forge the chains we wear in life

This quote is from one of the Charles Dickens books, an English author. The book is ‘The Cricket On The Hearth’ and was published in 1845; This was 18 years into the reign of Queen Victoria.

How awesome would it be if there was a ‘The Order:1886’ easter egg in the game?

So for those of you who were silly enough to put your Playstation 4’s up on eBay for $1,000 because that PS4 had P.T in it, if someone is silly enough to purchase that console you wouldn’t be able to re-download PT again.

It seems that P.T has been completely deleted from Sony’s PS Store Servers. Being as it was a free demo, it seems that there was no license for it, meaning that it can just be removed without keeping it up for download for those who ‘purchased’ it.

This is a dead shame, I’ve downloaded it on my PS4, but not my second one, and I’m kind of wishing I did now. Even if I don’t have the cojones to play the damn game!

I was lucky enough to play the Rocket league beta, if you’d like to read how I felt about the game, head here. If you missed out, don’t sweat it, because there will be another beta coming up in a few weeks!

Just before the Beta finished, I received this E-mail from Psyonix, the developers of the game:

The Rocket League PlayStation®4 Beta Test has been a massive success! But it’s almost over as we’ll be shutting down the servers this Sunday, May 3 at 10pm Pacific.

 

The good news is that we’ll be holding a SECOND ROUND of Beta Tests in just a few weeks.

In that new, upcoming beta, we will continue matchmaking and server tests in addition to a handful of new features. We’ll have more details and dates as we make the approach.

As always, thank you very much for your continued support!

I am happy.

Which brings me to my next point, if you managed to get in, you’ll have automatic entry to the Beta again! The official R-League twitter account advises you not to delete you Beta icon; a mistake I already made.

I mentioned this to the twitter account, and I should just be able to re-download it being as it is already in my library, and I won’t need a beta redemption code again.

@FranklinKyleJ Yep. Keep it installed. All previous PS4 beta testers will automatically be part of the next beta later this month.

@RocketLeague @FranklinKyleJ I deleted it because I was unaware, will I just have to try and get another key? or would my username be void??

— Minimur12 (@minimur12) May 8, 2015

 

@minimur12@FranklinKyleJ You should be able to download it from your download history. No problem

— Rocket League (@RocketLeague) May 8, 2015

I have managed to re-download it, so if you have deleted it don’t sweat it too much; but I’ll be keeping it downloaded, just so I can access it as soon as when the ervers go back up again.

Well, as the beginning paragraph and also the featured image teases, our resident…. thing, Yoshimitsu, the infamous Tekken character has had yet another makeover. This is how he’ll look in Tekken 7:

Although this is probably the most radical design change he’s had, let’s not forget in Tekken 4 he had wings and a beetle helmet!

Well it was finally announced, the kickstarter project from about 2 years ago, the Oculus Rift, after a long and arduous process, they are finally happy and will be launching their VR head mounted display; The first quarter of 2016

The Oculus was arguably the first VR headset to break into the market and create all the ruckus that is now. Now that Valve, Sony, and I guess Microsoft with their Hololens, all the big hitters are on their way to supporting Virtual Reality.

Oculus have spoken about being on consoles before, their attitude was ‘never say never’

It wouldnt surprise me if at this E3, a partnership between Oculus and Microsoft was created for it to be supported, but not Sony, for obvious reasons (The Morpheus, dummy!).

The design is very similar to the original one, but seemingly more minimalistic and simple, take a look here:

Pre orders will be opening later this year, if you’d like to get your hands (and eyes) on it ASAP.

Weekly Blog Round-Up

I guess we weren’t overly active this week, but we still chucked out a few quality articles, if you haven’t read them, I certainly would!

Happy mother’s day! Is your mom a gamer? – I probably wouldn’t point my mum towards Heavy Rain, she’d be an emotional wreck by the end of it (I totally wasn’t…..)

You Should Register for PSM says Yifan Lu – Do it! you’ve got nothing to lose!

$60 to win in our monthly tutorial contest! April winners announced, and May contest begins! – Know something nifty that can help others? Share it and you could win monies 😀

With the rise of 4K, your PS4 and Xbox One are already obsolete  – The adoption rate of 4k is still very low, before it becomes affordable and standard practice, I believe we’ll have seen the next console. I doubt a 4k upgrade of a PS4 will happen.

Lucas Arts, RIP

Woah…

Well this wasn’t on Reddit, but I wanted to share it.

After a couple of tries, I managed to defeat Darkbeast Paarl on Bloodborne! I was really surprised with how easy I made this look. After being obliterated the first 2 times, here it is!

I even killed it with a visceral!

I apologise if there are parts of this article that seemed rushed, I had it nearly completed and then my browser froze and I lost half of the article! Roughly 800 words and a fair amount of pictures/videos which I had to re-import, it was rather frustrating!
