Posted July 3rd, 2013 at 18:55 EDT by Kyle Prahl9 Comments

Bungie has released the official gameplay reveal of Destiny, its space-operatic post-Halo shooter, on PS4.

The footage below, first seen during Sony's E3 2013 media briefing, depicts Bungie developers teaming up to travel through an immense wall to explore the uncharted territory of Old Russia on the other side. Along the way, they battle various forms of the Fallen, humanoid aliens with a host of imaginative weaponry and evasive manuevers.

The game's loot and equipment systems are also briefly displayed. The demo narrator's character--a Human Warlock--acquires the Thunderlord, an "exotic machinegun" that he purports to be one of Destiny's best weapons. We also get a glimpse at the gun's talent tree, confirming that weapons in Destiny have numerous unlockable upgrades--including radical changes to the weapon's function and power--that can be acquired with talent points.

PSU awarded Destiny our E3 2013 Best Shooter award, recognizing Bungie's next-gen title as "THE shooter that won E3."

Kyle Prahl was mighty disappointed to learn Destiny won't be coming out until next year. You can follow him on Twitter and Facebook for the musings of a PSU Managing Editor.

Posted June 28th, 2013 at 23:46 EDT by Lazar Odic 9 Comments

Since the reveal of inFamous: Second Son back in February, we haven't gotten a real taste of how the game plays. We were introduced to the brand new protagonist, along with his brother and a bit of the story between the two, but that's about it.

Today, the YouTube account OfficialPSMag posted up a 5-minute gameplay video showcasing the new powers you'll be using once the game launches. You'll also get to see how beautiful the game looks in stunning 1080p quality.

inFamous: Second Son will be in the launch line-up for PlayStation 4 and is scheduled to launch early in 2014. How are you liking what you've seen so far? We want to hear from you!

PS4 gameplay can be broadcast via Ustream profiles, says Ustream's David Thompson

You are here: Home » News » PS4 gameplay can be broadcast vi...

Posted June 18th, 2013 at 14:46 EDT by Kyle Prahl1 Comments

During a webcast discussing the marketing benefits of video streaming, Ustream SVP of Marketing David Thompson confirmed that PS4 gameplay can be streamed to outside platforms beyond the PS4 console itself.

The answer came earlier today in response to a question about whether PS4 gameplay streaming will be tied to Ustream profiles. "The Ustream service is going to be embedded in the PS4," Thompson replied, "so that any gamer will be able to click the Share button on their controller and zap up to the Ustream cloud and broadcast out to his friends, or her friends, on the PS4 console itself or on the Ustream website or the Sony website."

Details about how PS4 game streaming will function has been vague since the console's reveal back in February, when it was confirmed that Ustream would be utilized for game broadcasting. Meanwhile, Gaikai technology will allow players to interact with the broadcasts of their friends in interesting ways, like taking direct control of the game, if invited to do so.

Thompson's words today are the first concrete indication we've received that PS4 streaming can be viewed from other portals, and seems to indicate that PSN accounts in the next generation can be tied to Ustream accounts for things like scheduled programming, a recently popularized gaming trend made possible (though far from convenient) by Twitch.tv.

Broadcasting to Twitch accounts will be possible on Xbox One, making this newly announced feature all the more vital for Sony's competitive efforts in the coming generation.

Posted June 6th, 2013 at 15:59 EDT by Steven Williamson0 Comments

Who doesn’t love Nazis? Erm, okay, maybe we should rephrase that. Who doesn’t love blowing the heads off Nazis? That’s more like it, right? Well, there’s going to plenty of opportunity to do just that in Wolfenstein: The New Order, MachineGames upcoming first-person shooter.

Due for release on current gen and next-gen consoles sometime this year, Wolftenstein is set in an alternate history in the 1960s when the Nazis won World War II.

The latest trailer shows some of the history behind the game as well as around 30 seconds of gameplay footage which involves plenty of gunfire, Hitler, mechs and a cackling elderly Nazi lady.

Check it out…

We’ll be checking out Wolfenstein: The New Order at E3 so check back for our hands-on impressions.

Posted May 24th, 2013 at 12:50 EDT by Ernest Lin2 Comments

A new trailer for Bungie's upcoming online evolving shooter Destiny not only gave a glimpse of the adventures gamers will embark on, but revealed when and where gameplay footage will be unveiled.

The worldwide gameplay reveal will be at Sony's PlayStation E3 press conference on June 10. As Xbox has Call of Duty as a multiplatform shooter which they get exclusive timed content for, Destiny is aligning itself in that way for PlayStation. Back during the PS4 reveal in February, Activision announced that the PlayStation versions of Destiny will receive exclusive content.

Check out the trailer below and stay tuned to PSU for breaking news on Destiny, PS4, and more.
