Da un po’ di tempo circolano voci riguardanti una presunta versione low cost di Project Scarlett, la nuova console Xbox di fascia alta presentata da Microsoft in occasione dell’E3 di quest’anno. Tuttavia, finora si è trattato solo di indiscrezioni non confermate.Grazie alle preziose informazioni postate sul blog Kotaku da Jason Shreier, sappiamo con certezza che la tanto chiacchierata versione economica della console Microsoft verrà prodotta e sarà in grado di riprodurre i nuovi giochi per Xbox, seppur con specifiche minori.Project Lockhart sarà una console senza lettore per i dischi, riprendendo il percorso iniziato da Microsoft con Xbox One S All-Digital Edition, anche se le fonti di Kotaku parlano di un aumento di potenza sostanziale rispetto alla precedente versione compatta. La nuova Lockhart disporrà di un Hard Disk allo stato solido e verrà equipaggiata con una CPU più potente di qualsiasi console attualmente in commercio.Il … [Read more...] about Xbox Project Lockhart: in arrivo la versione senza lettore economica di Project Scarlett

By Tyler Fischer - June 1, 2019 02:52 pm EDT Share 4 Comments 4 According to a new report, Sucker Punch and Sony Interactive Entertainment's upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima, will release in the first half of 2020. As you may know, of the remaining three big PS4 exclusives -- Death Stranding, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima -- we know the least about the samurai game from Sucker Punch. We've seen quite a bit of Death Stranding and know it will release on November 8. Meanwhile, we haven't seen as much of The Last of Us Part II, but we know it wrapped up capture work last month, suggesting it's poised for a late 2019 or early 2020 release. And then there's Ghost of Tsushima. We haven't seen much from it, and there's been nothing suggesting it's releasing anytime soon. As a result, many have speculated it will be a cross-gen release that will arrive in late 2020. And this may still be the case, but according to Kotaku's Jason … [Read more...] about Ghost of Tsushima Reportedly Releasing in The First Half of 2020

Home • PC Game News • BioShock • 54 Brock Wilbur Contributor 14th April 2018 / 8:17PM After Irrational Games was dismantled in 2014, the future of the Bioshock IP was left twisting in the wind. It certainly wasn’t going to fall on former studio head Ken Levine, as he departed to run a smaller studio called Ghost Story Games which would have nothing near the production scale required to take on a new time-period magic-potion exercise in the violence of political ideologies and/or golf. But as part of a much larger 2K expose written this week over at Kotaku, it appears news has leaked regarding a Bioshock title in development at a super secret 2K studio. Or at least, you know, previously super secret. Jason Schreier’s Kotaku piece is a deep dive into the failures at Hangar 13, whose Mafia III seemed like the start of bigger and better things, and they had both a sequel and a spy game in pending development… when everything got shut … [Read more...] about Ken Levineless Bioshock in development at secret 2K studio

Since its initial launch in 2013, the Xbox One has struggled to compete with the PlayStation 4’s larger library of exclusive games — despite later surpassing its power with the upgraded Xbox One X. The company has a chance to turn this around when it releases the next-generation Xbox system, code-named “Project Scarlett.” It will certainly have some competition, particularly from the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo’s console emphasizes portability and flexible gaming options over pure power, but when it comes to the Xbox Scarlett vs. Nintendo Switch, which console is more appealing? We’ve detailed what we know about the next Xbox so far and compared it to the Nintendo Switch so you can make that call for yourself.

Two weeks ago the popular Grand Theft Auto modding program OpenIV was taken offline after the game series' publisher Take-Two Interactive sent a cease and desist notice to its developers. Now it's back. The OpenIV homepage has reinstated its download button a mere two weeks after its developer, Yuriy "Good-NTS" Krivoruchko, wrote an angry screed saying that they would comply with the publisher's demands, but that they weren't happy about it. The reason for the publisher's crackdown on OpenIV is that it claimed the software opened the door up for people to tinker with GTA Online. GTA developer Rockstar Games has recently clarified that it has no issue with single-player mods, but it's concerned that in the wrong hands OpenIV mods could alter the online multiplayer game's carefully crafted ecosystem and ruin the experience for other players. "Take-Two's actions were not specifically targeting single player mods. Unfortunately OpenIV enables recent malicious mods that allow harassment of … [Read more...] about GTA modding tool OpenIV resurfaces following Take-Two’s cease and desist

By Tyler Fischer - December 10, 2019 07:55 pm EST Share 0 Comments 0 Yesterday, 2K confirmed a new BioShock is in development and that it created a new studio to work on the game. However, reading yesterday's press release from 2K made it sound like the studio was just created very recently and that work on the game also just began. However, this is apparently not the case. While 2K notes that development of the game will be in the works at Cloud Chamber -- the aforementioned new studio -- for years to come, Kotaku's Jason Schreier notes that the next BioShock has been in some of development since 2015. However, this project was apparently canned in 2016, but from the ashes of it rose a new attempt that began development in 2017. In other words, this game has been in development for two years, which makes sense. After all, Cloud Chamber wasn't formed yesterday, but two years ago. If this is the case, then presumably the new BioShock game will come a bit … [Read more...] about New BioShock Game May Release Sooner Than You Think
