Fans of RPGs, grand adventures and all things sci-fi are in for an early holiday treat when the Xenoblade Chronicles X game launches exclusively for the Wii U console on Dec. 4.
Since the conception of our furniture assembly simulator/domestic “modern art” engine, we’ve consistently had the most fun watching groups play it together. Over time, our focus on multiplayer has grown, and we’re happy to announce that we’re working on bringing seamless online furniture assembly to the world for the first time ever.
Yes, that’s right, in a few months you’ll be able to ruin relationships and build modern art monstrosities remotely, as well as in the comfort of your own home. In honor of this announcement, I’d like to shed some light on why we decided to prioritize online multiplayer, including a bit of our history with networked games that influenced our design process.
First, I’d like to take you back to before digital furniture assembly was listed on our resumes, before we were a company, and before we even graduated and entered into the games industry. As students, our team made a game called Black Oak Manor, an asymmetric multiplayer battle arena game with...
A quick update to confirm that the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Beta is starting to roll out now internationally! Surprise! Yes, the Beta launched a little earlier than expected, but it was ready to go and, hey, it’s December 4 in Japan and Australia.
Before you dive in, we’ve gotten the full lowdown from Naughty Dog on everything you need to know. You may want to look over the below list of answers to common questions that Naughty Dog put together to prepare you for the Multiplayer Beta.
The Basics
What is the Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Beta?
The Uncharted 4 Multiplayer Beta is an opportunity to test various aspects of Uncharted 4 Multiplayer, including the online infrastructure. The Naughty Dog team is also hoping to get your impressions and feedback, so that you can help shape the final version of Uncharted 4 Multiplayer.
Hi everyone! My name is Craig Sharpe from Retro Dreamer, a small three-person studio based in California. Today we’re excited to announce that our latest game Monsters & Monocles is coming to PS4!
Monsters & Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.
Playing solo, or with up to four players online or locally, you control one of four colorful characters like Baron von Dogface, a well-dressed dog wearing a smoking jacket, and must fight your way through unique monster-filled environments.
Each level is procedural, so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets, and objectives each time you play. Your trusty...
It’s been a year and change since we released the (Critically acclaimed?) modernist Cold War cyberpunk game, Jazzpunk. We’re now pleased-as-punch to announce that we’ve been working on bringing this surreal experience to PS4! But we didn’t want to stop at doing a simple port of the game, so we’ve been grinding away on new content and modes that will be exclusive to the PS4 version.
“So what the heck is Jazzpunk?” I hear many (Most?) of you asking. That’s a tough one! But I’ll tell you what I know: Jazzpunk is the result of five years of careful laughromancy and studious application of the joke sciences.
Jazzpunk is largely an exploration/adventure game, but with a heavy focus on absurdist and surreal humor and a sleek mid-century modern aesthetic. We spent a lot of time creating a lush 1960’s world, then tried to stuff it like a pizza crust with as much joke-cheese as possible. I’ve been told the results are gooey and delicious....
