Uncharted 4 Delayed Again, Free Multiplayer Beta this Weekend

uncharted-4-screenshot-02

Those looking forward to Drake’s fifth and final outing on the PlayStation 4 will be left wanting a little longer as Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has encountered it’s third release date setback. Luckily this time the delay is not as substantial, with the April 27th release date being pushed back roughly 2 weeks to May 10. The reason given was to ensure a smooth worldwide launch as the game releases simultaneously across the globe and more time was needed in the manufacturing stage.

This would also mean the Limited Edition Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End PlayStation 4 bundle will also be delayed. Naughty Dog took to their official Twitter page to share the news and apologise to fans but we are sure the game will be worth the wait even if it’s delayed until the end of this year.

US CARS PACK VEHICLE DETAILS

2015 Chevrolet Corvette C7.R – The Chevrolet Corvette C7.R is the latest generation of Corvette’s ultra-successful Corvette GT race cars that have established a stronghold in international sports car and endurance racing. Starting with the Corvette Works Team’s debut at the 2000 Le Mans 24 Hours, various generations of Corvette race cars have clinched eight wins at the French classic and other marquee endurance races around the globe, including the Daytona 24 Hours and the Sebring 12 Hours, fighting off competition from sports car racing’s most prestigious manufacturers. To ensure that the C7.R would be every bit as successful as its predecessors, the car has been packed with the latest racing technology to give drivers a maximum chance of on-track success. The car’s 5.5 litre V8 engine not only provides 491hp of power to challenge the competition with, the engine also uses direct injection technology for improved efficiency as fuel economy is a vital key to success in endurance racing. Drivers can also look forward to increased chassis stiffness & stability as the C7.R is built around an all-new aluminium frame.

2015 Cadillac ATS-V.R GT3 – Starting in 2015, Cadillac joined the ultra-competitive GT3 racing scene with the brand-new ATS-V.R. Making its debut in the Pirelli World Challenge Series, the car is built to the FIA GT3 regulations, allowing customer teams around the globe to purchase their own Cadillac race car for competition in the many racing series around the globe that are based on the popular sports car racing formula. The heart of the ATS-V.R is 3.6 litre V6 twin turbo engine. Based on the road-going engine block, the LF4.R engine has been equipped with large twin BorgWarner turbos and bigger intercoolers, giving the car very competitive 600hp of power. Since power is not worth much without balance, the car comes with a transaxle gearbox layout, allowing for a near 50-50 weight distribution. Weighing 3100 pounds and shod with massive 18-inch Pirelli tires, the ATS-V.R has everything needed to take the fight to the competitors in Project CARS’s massive GT3 grid.

2014 Dallara DW12 Indycar – Named DW12 in honour of the late Dan Wheldon, the DW12 is Dallara’s design for competition in the Verizon Indycar Series, North America’s most prestigious open-wheel racing series and home of the world-famous Indianapolis 500 race. Designed with an emphasis on safety, the DW12 features a Carbon fibre monocoque with honeycomb Kevlar structure. The DW12 chassis are powered by mid-mounted 2.2l V6 turbo-charged engines from different manufacturers, providing up to 700hp depending on boost pressure. Weighing 714 kilograms, the nimble open wheeler is home on all kinds of race tracks the Indycar schedule has to offer, coming with cutting edge racing technology such as an Xtrac 1011 6-speed sequential seamless semi-automatic paddle shift gearbox, double A-arm pushrod suspension and a push to pass feature to give drivers an additional strategic element to consider while competing for the highest honours of American open wheel racing.

2016 Ford Fusion Stock Car – Players who are looking for something different will love the 2016 Ford Fusion Stock Car that poises a very different driving challenge. Designed for competition in stock car racing’s most high-profile series, the Fusion Stock Car sports Ford’s eye-catching brand characteristics, wrapping a no-frills competition package that is true to stock car racing’s root principle of making driving skills the deciding factor in competition. Looking for driving aids or electronic helpers to assist you on track? Look elsewhere as the Ford Fusion Stock car leaves handling the massive V8 engine solely to the driver as 750hp at 9,000RPMs require careful handling from skilled hands. Despite stock car racing’s traditional low-tech approach, the 2016 Ford Fusion Stock Car also comes with some cutting-edge technology, using a fully digital dashboard system.

Free Vehicle – Aston Martin Vantage GT12 – Inspired by Aston Martin’s successful GT racing machinery that is fighting for glory on race tracks every other weekend, the GT12 is the sports car builder’s most extreme take on a Vantage road car. Packing everything the company has learned during competition out on track in a no-compromise package, the GT12 is powered by a 600hp V12 engine, using an automated manual Sportshift III that allows the car to sprint from 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds. Lightweight materials and a stripped interior have brought the car’s weight down to just 1565 kilograms while a racing-inspired aerodynamics package helps keeping the GT12 planted firmly to the ground. Even though all 100 examples of the strictly-limited GT12 have already been sold, Project CARS’ carefully-crafted, authentic virtual version will make sure that everyone will be able to sample this rare machine as the GT12 will be available for free to all players!

 

 

 

PLAYSTATION®4 TRIUMPHS IN 2015 WITH RECORD BREAKING YEAR IN AUSTRALIA

PLAYSTATION®4 TRIUMPHS IN 2015 WITH RECORD BREAKING YEAR IN AUSTRALIA

Strongest Festive Season in Australian PlayStation History, Steady Growth and Record Breaking Software Sales Reported in 2015

PS4 the No. 1 selling home console for 2015

PS4 accounts for 59% of the current generation market value 

Sydney, Australia, 2nd March 2016: As Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) looks towards 2016 with the promise of ground breaking innovation, great games and all round home entertainment services, the company releases  2015 [CY] results demonstrating record breaking momentum. In accordance with NPD Group Australia data, PlayStation®4 (PS4™) accounted 59% of total current generation console units[i]. Additionally, the PS4 overall platform accounted for 59% of the total current generation market value[ii], which includes Nintendo Wii U, PS4, Xbox One home consoles, games and peripherals.

The Xmas week[iii] and the month of December 2015 stood as landmark moments, with both being the highest performers on record in Australian PlayStation history. Festive season success was also replicated globally with the recently announced results of 35.9 million units sold through – 5.9 million[iv] of which sold during the 2015 festive season[v].  

Luis Gil, NPD, says, “As PS4® maintains its leadership position in the home console market, it is evident that the home entertainment unit has played an instrumental role in the market success of the Australian Interactive Entertainment category.”

Michael Ephraim, Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment Australia comments; “We are so proud to see the performance of the entire PlayStation business continue to go from strength to strength, especially as PS4 continues to break records as the fastest selling console in Australian PlayStation history.   We are excited to welcome the inclusion of PlayStation VR, that will again elevate our proposition by pushing the boundaries of innovative technology. Our community holds an invaluable role in making PlayStation the success it is and we’re incredibly grateful and proud to enjoy these achievements with them.”

PS4 software success

PlayStation 4 software is, according to the latest NPD Group Australia results, outselling its closest competitor by 82%[vi] in value and 84%[vii] in units. PS4 contributed to almost half (49.1%) of the total console software value in 2015[viii].

Taking players on new adventures with every new software release, 2015’s current generation software line up was the strongest to date. Top 1st party performers were; BloodborneTM, The Order: 1886TM and UnchartedTM: The Nathan Drake Collection. These titles, along with the inclusion of Call of Duty®: Black Ops III, Fallout 4®, EA SPORTS™ FIFA 16 and Star WarsTM BattlefrontTM from 3rd party publishers made it a record breaking year for software.

2016 promises to be another groundbreaking year, with highly anticipated exclusives such as Naughty Dog’s UnchartedTM 4: A Thief’s End, Hello Games’ procedurally generated space exploration game, No Man’s Sky and Guerilla Games’ newest action RPG, Horizon Zero DawnTM. 

The best place to be entertained:

Proving its digital footprint is on fast pace, last year PlayStation announced partnerships with all major streaming services including Presto, Stan, Netflix, Spotify, Foxtel Play as well as Quickflix – making PS4 not only the best place to play, but also the best place to be entertained.

Be it the best gaming experiences, catch-up TV services, the latest blockbuster movies & TV to rent or buy, or great music with Spotify, this broad home entertainment offering is a key focus for 2016, as PlayStation is committed to delivering something for the whole family.

VR becomes reality

PlayStation VR (PSVR), set to launch in 2016, is the latest development in groundbreaking innovation. It opens the door to revolutionary, immersive gameplay transporting players from their living rooms to amazing worlds and surprising unknown experiences. With more than 200 developers producing software for PSVR, its launch in 2016 is set to transform the gaming landscape.

Need For Speed Gets Hot Rods, Drag Race Mode and More

need-for-speed-udpate-5-screenshot-01

Need for Speed keeps getting better and better and with update 1.05 for the PS4 and Xbox One the trend is continuing. Manual Transmission, new cars, more garage space and an entirely new way to race with Drag races making a return from Underground 2 (but not the exact same) will be dropping on March 3rd. Check out the full release notes below.

New Feature: Manual Transmission
Manual Transmission is making its way to the console versions. A feature heavily requested since launch this will be sure to please a lot of racers in Ventura Bay.

need-for-speed-udpate-5-screenshot-02

New Cars: Hot Rods
The first cards to be added to the game are two brand new Hot Rods. Starting with the 1932 Hot Rod which will come with four unique Bodykits each of these kits has the potential to transform your Hot Rod into a great new look; Soft Top, Coupe, Sedan and Pickup. Each version of the Hot Rod also comes complete with a full set of customization, including Hood, Lights, Grille, Exhausts, Bumpers and more.

The second Hot Rod being added into Need for Speed is the Aaron Beck ‘BeckKustoms F132’. This is an absolute monster of a ride and defines the word ‘custom’. When you take the shell from a Ford 1932, gently massage it into a fierce Formula One style chassis and strap in a high performance NASCAR engine, this is what you get.

need-for-speed-udpate-5-screenshot-03

New Events: Drag Racing
Inspired by the Drag Events of previous NFS titles, these new events are the perfect place for you to get your speed fix. Unleash a burnout on the starting line to prime your wheels, align in the start box and time your revs perfectly. Think wisely about the use of nitrous, as it may just influence the outcome of the event. There will be five new Drag events for you to take part in; Neck to Neck, The Perfect Shifts, Drag the Town, Pedal to the Metal and Speed Tunnel. Unlike Underground 2 you will have full control of your steering here instead of just switching lanes.

New Feature: The Warehouse
Ghost Games are opening up 5 additional slots in your garage bringing the total of cars you can own at once up to 10. Five slots will be in a ‘virtual garage’ so you probably will just select them from a menu instead of being able to physically see them in your garage but a neat feature none the less.

need-for-speed-screenshot-01

Wrap Editor Improvements
The Wrap Editor is getting some sweet improvements with a coordinate system allowing you to position decals more accurately. A new way to do text is also being introduced so you no longer have to spell words with individual letters and layers. Simply select your desired font and a popup will appear where you’ll be prompted to input your desired text.

Animations within the Wrap Editor are also being improved including:

  • Animation indicating when a decal has been added to a vehicle
  • Improved animation to indicate more clearly the selected decal on a vehicle
  • Speed up info text animation when showing an action happening

need-for-speed-udpate-5-screenshot-04

  • Drag Queen – Win five Drag Race events
  • Wrap it up – Download a shared Wrap
  • Kustom kar – Buy your first Hot Rod

need-for-speed-udpate-5-screenshot-05

On top of these big features the update also includes:

DEPLOY RAVENOUS ZOMBIES TO EAT ENEMIES MARCH 10 AS MOVING HAZARD’S WEAPONIZED-ZED MAYHEM HITS STEAM EARLY ACCESS

DEPLOY RAVENOUS ZOMBIES TO EAT ENEMIES MARCH 10 AS MOVING HAZARD’S WEAPONIZED-ZED MAYHEM HITS STEAM EARLY ACCESS
Fight, Evade, or Weaponize the Undead in Psyop Games’ and IllFonic’s Competitive Military Shooter
LOS ANGELES—MARCH 01, 2016—Psyop Games and IllFonic will release their team-based, competitive first person shooter, Moving Hazard, on personal computer through Steam’s Early Access program on March 10 for $19.99 USD. The game pits rival military factions in a desperate battle for resources in a world lost to the zombie infection, where players must fight the instinct to kill zombies in order to spare the shamblers and deploy them as weapons against the enemy.

“We had such an incredible reaction from fans during our debut at PAX South, with players asking us to release the game immediately, so we’re incredibly excited to deliver Moving Hazard on Early Access,” said Christian Cantamessa, Lead Writer and Design Consultant for Psyop Games. “Once PAX-goers learned to stop killing the undead and started using them as scent-guided bloodhounds or shambling flesh-eating allies, the competition got fierce and the freshness of the gameplay really stood out. We can’t wait to give the community access and get their feedback to make it even better in the coming months.”

Moving Hazard will release on Early Access with a robust feature set, including cutting-edge Unreal Engine 4 graphics, loadout customizations, two player Factions with three classes, four maps, four game modes, and eight unique weapons. In addition, the game will offer more than 30 Player Perks, more than 50 Weapon Mods, matchmaking and lobby services, and a Player Hideout, where players can level up, upgrade and select personalized skills.

Psyop Games and IllFonic will continue development of Moving Hazard throughout the Early Access process, responding to community feedback to add and tweak major feature additions and other upgrades. The game will enter a full release on Steam later this year.

About Moving Hazard
Moving Hazard brings a new twist to both competitive military shooters and zombie games by mashing together the popular genres in a fresh way. Set 50 years after civilization’s fall to a fast-moving zombie plague, Moving Hazard boldly challenges gamers to play counter to everything they’ve learned from previous zombie games – namely, to avoid killing the living dead and rather, to spare the mindless biters and deploy them as weapons against the enemy.

Featuring realistic weapons and a full arsenal of tactical equipment, including military-grade assault weapons, classic fragmentation and smoke grenades, and claymores, Moving Hazard is a full-fledged military shooter and features multiple maps, modes and tactics.

Most importantly however, players must take advantage of the zombie control technology that can attract, repel, sedate, and anger the voracious horde, including:

  • The Pheromone Attractor Molotov (The PAM): when applied to any infected, they become frenzied and immediately hunt down and attack enemies;
  • The Chaos Grenade: stuns enemies while frenzying nearby zombies, creating a doubly vicious attack;
  • The Templar: broadcasts a signal that repels zombies, forcing the horde to turn in their tracks to head away as fast as possible.

Moving Hazard will release for personal computer on Steam on March 10 for $19.99 USD.

For more information, please visit the official site at www.MovingHazard.com or the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/movinghazard/ and the Twitter feed at https://twitter.com/movinghazard. The game’s official forums can be found online at http://forums.movinghazard.com/.
