NEWS: Sony Discuss PS2 and PS4 Sales

Hiroshi Kawano has spoke in-depth regarding the PS4 and its ability to match PS2 sales.

Speaking with the Japanese gaming website Inside-Games, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Asia and Japan Hiroshi Kawano explains how the PS4 will continue to sell more units and hopefully even bypass or meet the same sale numbers of the PS2.

Dualshockers translated the interview, which shows Kawano speaking of the disappointing PS3 sales, saying "unfortunately the sales of the PS3 didn't even get near the sales of the PS2. It may be difficult for a home console now, but I think we shouldn't say it's impossible unconditionally."

He goes on to discuss how he believes "it's possible to expand the popularity of the PS4 by providing a rich gaming experience and making use of the fusion of network service and high performance that is possible only on home consoles."

When discussing matching sales of the PS2, Kawano said "we'll have to do our best in the future." - currently, the PS2 has sold the most units with a staggering 155 million and counting since it's initial release in 2000.

NEWS: 100 PS4 Games Coming This Year

A promised total of 100 titles are to make their way to PS4 by the end of 2014.

The official Twitter of PlayStation has confirmed a substantial amount of games are promised for 2014 - however, no titles were mentioned specifically but we can assume both indie and triple A content is included in that list. 

This comes from the Media Summit, where the tweet simply read:

"Here's a fun fact: More than 100 PS4 games are planned for release in 2014. Stay tuned for more updates from today's media summit."

With the promise of so many games, this could boost sales of the PS4, which originally launched in November 2013 with exclusives such as Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack.

NEWS: Child of Light Release Date Announced

Ubisoft's turn-based RPG has been given an April release date.

Only available through digital download, Child of Light is to hit the market April 30 on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Wii U, and PC, which is to be priced at £11.99.

Generally not known for creating RPGs, Ubisoft has definitely gone in a new direction with this upcoming title.

Players will take the role of Aurora who wakes up in the world of Lemuria - upon arriving, it becomes apparent the sun, moon and stars have been stolen by the Black Queen. From then on, it becomes Aurora's mission to bring peace back to the world.

REVIEW: The Walking Dead Season 1

Through a series of unimaginable events, this game will really test your decision making for the good or worse.

Developer: Telltale Games | Publisher: Telltale Games | Genre: Point N Click Adventure

PS3 | PS4 | PS Vita | Xbox 360 | Xbox One | Windows PC | Mac  | iOS | Kindle Fire HDX | Android

Combining an excellent narrative with some pretty tough decisions that play on the harshest of human emotion, Telltale games have created something truly unique and enticing. 

Even if you're not into The Walking Dead franchise, this game is still definitely worth playing through at least once - it manages to draw you into the narrative with full force and truly gives you an idea of what it would be like to live in a Zombie apocalypse and the very particular decisions you as a person would have to make in order to survive, protect your friends, and avoid being eaten to death. REVIEW1

You take the role of Lee Everett who is actually on his way to jail after conviction through the Atlanta, Georgia authorities - its on this little road trip we see glimpses of something sinister going off, whether it be the subtle hints such as Helicopters flying past rapidly or the swarm of Police forces racing the other way. Eventually, the Sheriff crashes his car into a Walker causing the game to really begin - from then on, its up to you to make sense of the new world and simply survive.

There are a total of 5 episodes in season 1, which are styled much like the TV show itself as well as taking graphical influences from the original comic book series - each character, environment, and setting are true to the imagery seen in the comics which makes you truly feel you're in the game itself - we don't see this style in many games but when we do, it's usually very well done and Telltale Games did a fantastic job of achieving a unique atmosphere and overall look through this art style.

Throughout the game, you are proposed with numerous questions which will really make you think - what would be best for me? What would be best for the group as a whole? And so on, most decisions affect the final outcome in certain scenarios, which makes for massive replay value, especially if you're deeply into the narrative and want to view all possible situations. 

Finding examples without spoilers is definitely difficult, but there is one part in which you must choose which character can survive and which can't as you only have time to save one person, and with the added timer you are put under even more pressure, making for often rash decisions which you could even regret further down the line.

Whether you're playing on a PC or console, the control scheme is very user friendly - there is a cursor which has different actions assigned to a certain button, which can change depending where you hover the cursor, for example if you're examining a corpse, one button might give you the option to search further, whilst the other will simply take a better look and will describe the certain thing or object in detail. 

At its core, the game relies on your decisions and your reactions to particular events, however there's a sense of puzzle solving too as a lot of moments in the game does require some genuine brain work - for example you could be searching for a specific item that is inaccessible due to a horde of Walkers blocking the way, so it would become your goal to work around that. It's gameplay like this that goes back to games such as Broken Sword or Monkey Island, which are not bad influences at all.

The Walking Dead Season 1 will more than likely be most enjoyed by fans of the series, but anyone can get into it and have a blast playing through each episode - it's recommended to play the series more than once and choosing different decisions each time to really get your money's worth. An excellent game to play whilst you're waiting for that next episode of the actual TV show.

NEWS: PS4's Lifecycle Could Be Shorter Than PS3

Various hints have suggested the overall lifecycle of the newly released PS4 could very well be shorter than the PS3.

UK Sony boss Fergal Gara spoke with Tech Radar in regards to the PS4's lifespan throughout certain markets and their respective territories. The thirst for new technology will be the primary reason according to Gara, saying:

"It's probably a sign of the times and how much has changed in seven years, but I think the willingness and the appetite to pick up new technology fast has probably changed quite a bit."

Because the PS4 has just launched, it is difficult to accurately predict its future, however Gara went on to say:

"We're going to have a much better feel for it once we're a good few months in and we can see how the dynamics are emerging."

NEWS: Games With Gold November 2013 - A World of Keflings and Iron Brigade

Microsoft has revealed the next batch of free-to-download games as part of the Games With Gold scheme.

Starting November 1, A World of Keflings will be available for Xbox LIVE Gold members to download completely free of charge - the game uses your custom avatar and its the player's mission to gather various resources to help build the kingdom around them. The game usually retails at £6.75.

NEWS: Xbox One - 2014 Launch for Japan

It's definitely not looking good for Japan in terms of next-gen consoles, what with the PlayStation 4 being pushed back and now we know the Xbox One won't see the light of day until 2014.

Popular japanese gaming magazine Famitsu reported that the Xbox One will be released in 2014, but no specific date or price ranges were stated, just that a release window has been planned.

Back in July of this year Microsoft did say that the Xbox One would be part of the tier-2 release plan in Japan, so we already knew that the console wouldn't be released at the same time as the UK or North America.

However, this still means more waiting for Japan to get it's hands on the next wave of consoles.
