The System Software Update will also see increased PS4 online storage capacity from 1GB to 10GB for all PlayStation Plus members.

System Software Update Version 3.00 will see an improvement to Live from PlayStation where popular community content will be collated for all to see. Players will be able to view the most popular broadcasts, video clips, and screenshots shared from PS4. Popularity will be based on the number of views from other players.

Other key features include an update to the What’s New section allowing for real-time engagement, plus the ability to comment live on Players’ activity.

WARNER BROS. INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LAUNCHESMAD MAX

Experience the expansive post-apocalyptic, open-world game from Avalanche Studios for PlayStation®4 system, Xbox One and Windows PC

Sydney, Australia – Sept. 2, 2015 – Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that Mad Max, the open world, third-person action game developed by Avalanche Studios and set in a post-apocalyptic setting, is now available for PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC.

View the launch trailer here

The Mad Max video game introduces an original story set within the universe of Mad Max and features deep car customization that impacts its handling, metal-grinding vehicular action and gives players a vast arsenal of mobile weaponry within The Wasteland.  Players become Max, the lone warrior who must fight to stay alive by engaging in vicious on-ground fighting, as well as physics-based vehicular combat, against savage factions who are fighting for domination and survival in this gritty, dynamic open-world.

“Mad Max is an iconic character, recently re-introduced to the world by the latest film, and now we’re introducing a new way for fans and gamers to experience the adventure-filled Wasteland universe in which he lives,” said Peter Wyse, Vice President, Group General Manager, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.  “Avalanche Studios has created an expansive, beautiful open world environment that comes to life with a brand new story for Mad Max.”

“Avalanche Studios are big fans of Mad Max and creating an open-world game in such a brutal setting was right up our alley,” said Christofer Sundberg, Avalanche Studios Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer.  “We can’t wait to see how players customize their Max characters, as well as their cars.”  

Following the theft of his iconic Interceptor, Max must align himself with a gifted, but peculiar, mechanic named Chumbucket to build the ultimate survival vehicle, something Chumbucket calls the “Magnum Opus.”  Players design, customize and upgrade their essential vehicle by choosing from different car chassis and a myriad of upgrades including mounted weapons, armour and engines in the hopes of escaping to the Plains of Silence. Gamers must endure the open-world, post-apocalyptic environment that features a huge variety of encounters in a host of different locations throughout The Wasteland, many of them remnants of the world before the apocalypse. Players brave the treacherous landscapes, hostile weather patterns and deadly marauders, while accumulating Max’s equipment and weapons to survive by combining melee combat, gunplay and tactical techniques.

Mad Max is rated “MA 15+” for Strong post-apocalyptic themes and violence by the Classification Board.  For more information, visit www.madmaxgame.com, Facebook.com/MadMaxGame and Twitter.com/MadMaxGame.

Multi-platform launch campaign planned for new video game. 

REVOLT TV announces a multi-platform marketing partnership with video game publisher Versus Evil and Fearless Media for the launch of Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma, a 3^rd person action adventure game that builds on the original Afro Samurai manga universe.

The complete Afro Samurai 2 game, developed by Redacted Studios, will be released in three distinct volumes for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation®4, each with its own story arc and fresh new soundtrack. Music producer and rapper RZA of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan has returned once again as music director, working with each of the contributing indie hip hop artists to help them cultivate their own take on the ‘Afro Sound’ for each soundtrack, a sound that he developed when working on the original animated series.

“When Fearless Media approached us with the opportunity to do something special for the launch of Afro Samurai 2, it was a perfect match,” said Michael Roche, SVP of Sales and Partnerships at REVOLT. “The REVOLT audience is anxiously awaiting the continuation of the Afro Samurai story, a franchise that is punctuated by the distinct sound that RZA has created. By partnering with Versus Evil we are able to deliver authentic, highly anticipated content that further showcases the connection between music and gaming.”

Leading up to the launch of the game, REVOLT will air exclusive content with RZA and three up-and-coming hip-hop artists featured on the Afro Samurai 2 soundtrack – Visualeyes, Nay Steez and TK (Terry “Tarantikno” Benjormen). This content will live on REVOLT’s digital properties and television channel.

Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma is the action-packed sequel to the original Afro Samurai story and follows the path of Afro’s closest friend, Kuma, a cybernetically enhanced killing machine. Beginning shortly after his historic battle with Afro at Mount Shumi, Kuma must regain his strength, humanity and sanity as he sets out on a path of redemption and bloody revenge for the death of all those he loved. Volume 1 of the video game’s series will be available for digital download on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation®4 later this September.

DOVETAIL GAMES ANNOUNCES MEIGS FIELD

THE SECOND ORBX AIRPORT ADD-ON COMING EXCLUSIVELY FIRST TO FSX: STEAM EDITION

Chatham, Kent – Sept. 1, 2015 – Earlier this year, Dovetail Games, the multi award-winning developer and publisher of a range of simulation games, announced Friday Harbor, the first new airport and scenery add-on for FSX: Steam Edition by acclaimed software developer and publisher Orbx Simulation Systems. In the lead up to Friday Harbor’s release later this month, we are pleased to announce the second Orbx title to be released exclusively first for FSX: Steam Edition later this year: Meigs Field.

Like Friday Harbor, Meigs Field for FSX: Steam Edition is optimized specifically for the Steam platform. This high-quality airport and scenery pack will feature an automatic installation process via Steam and will be completely self-contained without any dependencies on previous releases from Orbx.

Flight simulation has been intertwined with the legendary Meigs Field for decades. Few airports hold as much nostalgia, familiarity, and emotion for aviation enthusiasts. Located on the coast of Lake Michigan, Meigs Field operated as the gateway to corporate Chicago for over half a century.

Now, twelve years after its closure, Meigs Field (KCGX) has been recreated with the utmost attention to detail and accuracy. Depicted as it was in its final years, virtual pilots are welcomed to return to what was once the busiest single-strip airport in the United States and enjoy it in high definition.

Featuring a fully modeled terminal, highly detailed static aircraft, and other historically accurate elements, the airport has been brought back to life. In addition to the airfield itself, the city of Chicago’s waterfront and parks district has received a facelift to bring the area up to date. With over a decade of combined experience in flight simulation development, Alex Goff and Tim Harris have developed Meigs Field using the latest technology to provide a beautiful and smooth flight simulation experience.

Key features

• 30cm ground imagery for airport and Chicago waterfront
• Custom 5m mesh
• Highly accurate rendition of Meigs Field as it stood in the early 2000s
• Waterfront landmarks including the Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Soldier Field, and McCormick Place Convention Center
• Optional custom autogen trees for improved authenticity
• Optional custom ground bump map for improved clarity
• Full control panel app to customize player’s level of detail

Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition was launched by Dovetail Games in December 2014. It delivers an authentic aviation experience for simulation enthusiasts and those with a passion for aviation. The game is available now on Windows PC via Steam. For further information, please visit www.dovetailgames.com or https://fsxinsider.com.

AND NOW, A STATEMENT FROM DEADPOOL: “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH!”

(Deadpool Coming To Playstation®4 And Xbox One In November)

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Sept. 1, 2015 – The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The original draft of Hamlet. Third-wave ska. All treasures of human vision and artistry lost to the unfathomable reaches of time. But sometimes, life, uh, finds a way. Deadpool, THE third-person action-shooter made by ME, DEADPOOL, and NOBODY ELSE, especially not anyone at Activision Publishing, Inc. or Marvel Entertainment (hey, what about ME?!)  (oh, puhh-lezz!) is hitting the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One this fall.

Here’s your fact sheet: Deadpool is a deluxe combo platter drizzled with guns, katanas, guns and katanas, explosives, pancakes, sassy one-liners, mutant powers (like my turbo healing factor), babes and baddies. “Is there more, Deadpool?” YEA, PROBABLY.

Now because I’m an incredibly honest and forthright fellow, let me just tell you: these new versions of Deadpool are not 100% perfect (of course they’re perfect. It’s Deadpool, dummy!) (No thing or person is perfect!). You see, in full-disclosure, somehow Wolverine is still in my video game. (See!  I told you.) I just… ugh. But it does include all my original DLC, including two Challenge maps (“GRT Plaza” and “Inside the Tower”), as well as the form-fitting Uncanny X-Force and D-Pooly suits (I do loves me some form-fitting) for use in the never-ending thunderdome of carnage I call Infinite Mode.

I’m bringing it all to PlayStation®4 and Xbox One in North America on Nov. 17 for $49.99 as a digital and physical retail title – however you want me, baby! (Hee hee, you know you want me.)  You better believe it’s rated M (Mature) by the ESRB, too. (YES!) (You, sir, are so NOT mature.) “But Deadpool, how can we engage with your personal brand in the meantime?” Worry not, my beloveds! You may follow me on that Facebook thingy at ‘RealDeadpool’ for all the shameless self-promotion you could ever wallow in.

Now for all the mandatory mumbo-jumbo from the corporate suits.
