This week, we welcome developers from all over the world to San Francisco to attend Game Developers Conference 2016. This is an industry-only event, but since we know PlayStation has a diverse, far-reaching audience we wanted to put all of the info for our panel discussions in one easily-accessible place for those who might find it useful.
Going to be at GDC this week? Stop by the main booth (1202) where we’ll have games, tools, tech and more. Interested in a career with PlayStation? Stop by the PlayStation Lounge at the Career Center (booth CC2300) to grab some coffee, play games, and strike up a conversation with recruiters and hiring managers.
Check here for more info about the panels and events we’ll be hosting at GDC 2016.
PlayStation VR: Development and Innovations (presented by Sony)
Buy a Founder’s Pack today and be among the first to play in Paragon‘s Early Access Season, starting Friday, March 18th.
From the start, our team at Epic Games set out to create a competitive MOBA in partnership with our players. As early as possible we invited passionate gamers to join us in playing Paragon each week and share their thoughts and ideas. We’ve worked hard to be responsive, make changes, and implement improvements with each weekly build.
Now with the beginning of Early Access we’re taking the next step in opening up the game to more people. Players who want to get a head start in playing with a small, enthusiastic community and help shape the evolution of the game can join us by buying a Founder’s Pack. Paragon will be in free Open Beta this summer, so if you’d rather wait, we’d love for you to play then.
Fallout 4’s first add-on, Automatron, is coming to PS4 on March 22nd, and we’re excited to let you preview the new content with an all-new trailer!
The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods — mixing limbs, armor, abilities and weapons, like the all-new lightning chain gun. You can even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices. (For characters level 15 or higher.)
In April, we’re expanding the capabilities of settlements with the second add-on, Wasteland Workshop, and in May, travel beyond the Commonwealth to Maine for Far Harbor — the largest landmass Bethesda Game Studios has ever created for post-release content.
Many of you have been patiently waiting for PlayStation Vue to come to your city, and today we’re pleased to announce that PlayStation Vue is making its nationwide debut. We’re expanding the service to the rest of the U.S. to give our fans a better way to watch popular live and on-demand TV from top networks like AMC, ESPN, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, and more, using PlayStation Vue’s unique streaming features.

This will be ID@Xbox’s third Game Developers Conference showing off amazing new games from independent developers in the ID@Xbox program. For us, it’s a great time to highlight new games, but also a place to connect with new developers and old friends and listen to their feedback about our program – what people are liking, and where we can do better. We actually started ID@Xbox by going out on a listening tour that seemed huge at the time (more than 50 developers!), but today, with more than 1,400 studios creating games for Xbox One and Windows 10 via ID@Xbox, 50 seems like a pretty small number!

A game of powerful heroes, intense strategy, and last-minute victories. Paragon early access begins March 18th and aims to open up MOBAs to the masses.
Designed by the team at Epic Games, Paragon puts a third-person twist on MOBAs with a diverse roster of heroes and tactile combat. Enter the fray and defend your base from the ever-encroaching march of the opposing team. With heart-pounding five-on-five matches, Paragon will change the way you compete on PS4.
For those that simply can’t wait until Friday, Salt and Sanctuary launches this week on PS4. With brutal 2D combat and a robust item crafting system, this gothic adventure is Ska Studios’ most ambitious project to date.

I’m honestly amazed that we made it to this point. Back in late 2011, when we took our first, shaky steps into podcasting, I would never have believed that more than four years later we would still be going strong.
Hitting the 200 episode mark means that PlayStation Blogcast is officially serious business. I know I can speak for the rest of the gang when I say that we could never have reached this point without you. So: Thank you!
Today’s episode is suitably momentous, with three very special guests. So… let’s listen in.
One of the most fascinating features of Tom Clancy’s The Division is the Dark Zone, a lawless area where players can go up against other players. The Dark Zone is dramatically unlike most traditional multiplayer modes, however; here there are no leaderboards, no formal confrontations, not even game modes in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an area where players can seek out unique and valuable gear… which might be carried by non-player characters, but might also be carried by other players. It’s hard to distinguish friend from foe in this situation, which leads to the development of a few significant... See the rest of the story on Xbox Wire
Now that Tom Clancy’s The Division has arrived, we’re beginning to discover what a massive – and challenging – game it is. In fact, it’s so big that it may prove daunting to newcomers, especially those who haven’t spent much time with shooters or role-playing games… because this is both. But never fear; we’ve got your back! Here are six tips to help you get on your feet quickly. Make smart upgrades to your Base of Operations. The Division is most certainly a variety of role-playing game, but unlike most RPGs, you don’t actually upgrade your character. Rather, you upgrade... See the rest of the story on Xbox Wire
Hi, everyone! 2Dark is emerging from the shadows today, and I have good news. On behalf of the entire development team at Gloomywood Studio, I am delighted to finally be able to confirm that 2Dark will be released on Xbox One in 2016! A little background: I’ve been a technical game artisan and video game designer for nearly 30 years now. Some of you may be familiar with my best-known work: Alone in the Dark and the Little Big Adventure series. As a designer, I’ve never stopped wanting to create and innovate, and I’ve dabbled in pretty much everything: electronic... See the rest of the story on Xbox Wire
