PlayStation 5 Pro Goes On Sale

PlayStation 5 Pro Goes On Sale

Gaming
Today, sales of the PlayStation 5 Pro gaming console began. Leading media outlets shared their opinions on the new console after testing, as well as whether the new product is worth the $700 that Sony has priced it at. Sony's new console can make some games look amazing. Blades of grass, rough-hewn stone pillars, the weave of a backpack - they're rendered with greater precision. It's enough of an improvement that I want to sit closer to the TV or even hook up the PS5 Pro to a monitor to use it as a gaming PC. In some games, the difference is like a dirty window, which the PS5 Pro wipes clean. I think it's important to be clear right now: the PS5 Pro doesn't make every game Pro. You'll need to play the specially patched PS5 Pro Enhanced games to really see the difference. This i...

Warhorse Shows 1.5 Hour of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gameplay

Gaming
As promised, on November 5, the developers of the medieval action RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from the Czech Warhorse Studios held a live broadcast. During the stream, they showed new gameplay and revealed a number of details about the game. Warhorse Studios shared the joy: total sales of the first Kingdom Come reached 8 million copies. This is a very respectable figure by the standards of an unhackneyed IP, especially considering that in February 2024 (just in time for the sixth anniversary of the premiere) the title was bought 6 million times. As you can see, the announcement of the sequel has fueled the public's interest in Henry and his misadventures. https://youtu.be/XMrl1BuCmwY?si=HoK-jk97z6m4S_fS Let us remind you that the launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II on PC,...

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Definitely Won’t Get DLC

Gaming
Dragon Age: The Veilguard creative director John Epler told a Rolling Stone reporter that BioWare has no plans to release DLC for the fantasy RPG. The team has since turned its attention to the new Mass Effect. The Dragon Age games have traditionally received story add-ons after their release (Dragon Age: Inquisition even included the story's epilogue as DLC), but Dragon Age: The Veilguard will go a different route. BioWare mentioned in the lead-up to the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard that it had no plans for add-ons for the game, and in the first post-release interview with Rolling Stone, they confirmed this once again. IGN adds that the studio's ambitions for post-release support for Dragon Age: The Veilguard are limited to patches with improvements and a few small content u...
DayZ Creator Announces “Kitten Space Agency”

DayZ Creator Announces “Kitten Space Agency”

Gaming
Dean Hall, known as the creator of DayZ, together with his studio RocketWerkz took on an ambitious project - a simulator of space agency management Kitten Space Agency. This game in many ways resembles the legendary Kerbal Space Program, only instead of green men there will be cats. According to Hall, Kitten Space Agency (KSA) was born out of a rejected pitch for KSP 2 by publisher Private Division (owned by Take-Two) — RocketWerkz was in the running to develop the sequel, and was even in the top three candidates. “I had put a lot of effort into a good design document and decided to focus on the design/technical aspects of the project — which turned out to be a major issue for the two people on the call who said we were the only ones without art. Apparently, we weren’t chosen,” Hall rec...
