PlayerUnknown plans on adding replays and possibly a campaign for Battlegrounds

Console versions still planned, as are two new maps Game Informer did some catching up with developer Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene, responsible for the indie hitPlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.Given the sheer popularity of the game, it was nice to get some clear-cut plans for the future. According to Greene, the console versions are still on track, but only after the PC edition is completely done and they’re past the early access state. That includes adding two new maps (one of which is a desert near Peru), and a campaign mode....

Pretty in Pink: Jill Stuart ‘Sweet Limited’ PSP bundle

All the ladies! That’s not to say that a pink PSP would be limited to only female owners. It’s just that this new Jill Stuart Sweet Limited Package PSP bundle comes with a freakin’ PSP-shaped purse to carry it around in. In this bundle, set to be released in Japan in March for 21,000 yen, comes the PSP in Blossom Pink (a PSP-3000), a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo, that pretty little brand-stamped handbag, an embossed cloth, and a sample vial of the Potion of Carelessness that the people at Sony also sampled before creating this product....

Retro-tinted platformer Valfaris looks rad as hell

Coming to Steam later this year There are a lot of platform-based shooters in the modern market but not all of them look likeValfaris. I’m getting the same vibes as Wolf Brew Games’Slainin all the best ways. While we all know an art style doesn’t make a game (that was evident withSlain,at least as launch), the video seems to let us know that the developer has that covered. Steel Mantis is developing and Digital Uppercut Productions is publishing....

Review: Oculus Quest

Freedom Over the past three years or so I’ve spoken to countless VR developers who have nearly all said the same thing: “tetherless VR will be a major factor when it comes to consumer adoption in the future.” Zero Latencyeven figured out a way around itwith a recreational model that straps a gaming PC to your back for full room-scale action, but naturally that same type of tech isn’t exactly viable in-home....

Review: Simraceway S1 Steering Wheel

While I enjoy the occasional racing game, I tend to prefer arcade style over strict simulation. In other words, I’m not exactly looking for excuses to go out and buy a high-end wheel that’ll suplex my bank account. Thankfully, we have Dale on staff to handle most of the sims. Every so often, however, the odd product ends up finding its way to me, which is more or less what happened with Ignite Technologies and SteelSeries’Simraceway S1 Steering Wheelfor PC....

Sonic Mania has a minor bug on Switch, but a fix is already in the works

A slight menu delay In case you haven’t heard,Sonic Maniais pretty great. Although I initially reviewed it on PS4 I’ve also been playing the Switch version, which still feels weird to me as a ’90s kid to see a 2DSonicon a Nintendo system. Alas, there’s a small bug that’s exclusive to the Switch edition. Some users have been noting that while playing the game in portable mode, there’s a delay (or in some cases, no response) sometimes when using the screen capture feature or pressing the home button....

Sony updates device policy to allow three portables

PSP, Vita, and Vita TV Due to the release ofthe PlayStation Vita TV device, Sony has updated their policy to allow for up tothreeportable devices on the same account. Previously, any given Sony account could only support up to two devices (a PSP and a Vita), but as of this month you’ll be able to add a third option. This is something I can only hope that Nintendo will explore in the future, with a true 3DS to Wii U account linking system — not just theunification of currency....

The next Skylanders will let you order your created character as a toy

More stuff to buy for Imaginators Skylanders Imaginatorsis basically embracing the whole dungeon crawler setup this time. Now you can create your own character, assign it a class, and go fullDiablowith it. But Toys for Bob and Activision are taking it a step further given the wide breadth of the character creation tools, and are allowing for custom merchandise sales. For $15, $25, and $50 respectively, you may create a card, t-shirt, and “limited run” figure through aSkylanders Creatorapp that links with all versions of the game (by way of an audio clip that recognizes the formula you’ve used)....

There’s already a fix for Tales of Symphonia’s bad PC port

You can always count on Durante Tales of Symphoniareleased on Steam this week, and buyer beware — you’re in for a scare. Bandai Namco’s PC version is based on the PS3 port of the PS2 port of the cherished 2003 GameCube title, and even by modest standards, it’s a poor effort. Notably, frame rate and resolution locks strike again, but there are also reports of bad or outright broken localizations, crashes, weirdly long load times, and DRM that “generates randomly named executable files for each run....
