Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Demo Eating Up Records

Resident-Evil-7-Biohazard-1

Capcom has announced that the recently released Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour, has now become the most downloaded single-player PS4 demo in the first week of its release for North America, and has now been downloaded over 2 million times globally. This with it only been released to Playstation Plus members makes us think that people really are excited for a new RE game.

The Demo is a prologue, and Capcom has stated that the demo will not be in the full game, but is a taste of the world and the feel they are going for in the full game.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is slated for a January 24, 2017 release and will be coming out on the PC, Xbox One, Playstation 4 and will be playable from start to finish in PS: VR.

Albion Online Headed Into Final Beta

Albion_Online_Final Beta_Art_s

Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG in a similar vein to Ultima Online. They are creating a game similar to that, but with a new modern twist on the formula.

Albion_Online Screens_Reputation

Currently the game is in beta until mid July, then it will be offline while they add in the final changes, before heading into the final beta on August 1st.

Albion Online is a giant open sandbox and thanks to a system of “you are what you wear” you can truly transform yourself into anything you want, just by changing the clothes you are wearing. In this way you can be a farmer dealing with your crops, to a bad ass archer just by changing your clothes. Thus allowing any player to truly play however they want.

Albion_Online Screens_Guild vs Guild

They will be adding in three new, bigger biomes (area’s) for the final beta, as well as a reputation system. In the reputation system, if you are not nice, that could hold consequences such as guards hassling you or even arresting you depending on your reputation.

Albion_Online Screens_Item_Enchanting

When the Final Beta of Albion Online goes live, all accounts will be reset to zero, with all Founders getting the perks from their Founder’s Packs, as well as the gold bought through the website credited to their game account.

If you are interested in learning more, or signing up for the beta, you can head over to their website Albion Online

More Powerful PS4 Neo Will Launch This Year – Report

Sony’s new and improved console could debut a year before Microsoft’s Project Scorpio.

According to a new report, Sony’s more powerful PlayStation 4, Neo, will launch before the end of 2016. That means it would arrive well ahead of Microsoft’s Project Scorpio.

“Several sources have indicated” this information to Eurogamer’s Richard Leadbetter. “If that is the case, it’ll be interesting to see how developers utilize its resources, and whether 4K really is the focus. And we can be equally as sure that Microsoft will be watching just as intently as it gears up for its own next-gen roll-out,” the report said.

Sony’s Andrew House confirmed Neo just days before E3, at the time also mentioning that it would not be discussed at the event. For its part, Microsoft announced Project Scorpio during its briefing, a system the company describes as “the most powerful console ever made.”

Scorpio, which features 6 teraflops of performance, is scheduled to come out in holiday 2017. Pricing has not been announced for the Neo or Scorpio; in both cases, the games that work on PS4 and Xbox One today will also be supported on the new systems.

If Neo is indeed coming out this year, some possible, but not confirmed, venues for Neo’s official announcement might include Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, or Paris Games Week. It might also be that Sony hosts a dedicated event for the unveiling, as it did for the PS4.

E3 2016 the Best Trailers

E3 is in the air, and awesome new games are dropping left and right. Here are our favorite trailers from the show so far — check back soon for more picks, or cut out the middleman and visit YouTube to see every single video.

God of War

Santa Monica Studio reimagines the iconic PlayStation franchise, and the results look promising indeed.

Days Gone

Bend Studio knocked me out with this one — we’ve seen post-apocalyptic games before, but not ones with this emotional center. One to watch.

Spider-Man


Marvel and Insomniac Games team up on one of the most-talked about games from E3. I love the score on this one.

Resident Evil 7 biohazard

Capcom takes the landmark horror series in a new direction, with a new first-person perspective and PlayStation VR support for maximum immersion.

Horizon Zero Dawn


It’s not a true trailer, but it’s still super impressive to see more than eight minutes of Guerrilla’s open-world epic in action.

The Last Guardian


Consistently powerful stuff, with a lovely soundtrack and dreamlike visuals. And hey, who’s that other guy?

Detroit: Become Human

Quantic Dream has always asked players to make difficult decisions. But this neo-noir thriller set in a futuristic Detroit looks to turn the consequences up to 11.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

This exhilerating look at Jackal dogfighting and close-quarters combat in zero g left me reeling. Our first look at the Retribution’s futuristic bridge and loading bay is one of my favorite moments of the entire show.

Final Fantasy XV


I continue to be fascinated by this game’s scale and style, and this trailer ably demonstrates why..

Farpoint


I’m a sucker for sci-fi, and I’ve been waiting to see an FPS take in PlayStation VR.

Death Stranding


Kojima’s back. I need say no more.
