Hello everyone – I’m Matt Walker, director of production at Camouflaj, Inc. – and I’m happy to announce that after a long wait, République: Anniversary Edition is finally releasing on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR on March 10!

République started out in 2011 as a true passion project of Ryan Payton’s – veteran of Metal Gear Solid and Halo fame – who felt that the democratization of game development was leading to a place where you didn’t need hundreds of developers working around the clock to produce AAA game content. After one of the first notable Kickstarter campaigns ever in 2012, the team released République Episode 1 on mobile in 2013.

At its heart, République is a stealth game. Game designer Paul Alexander provides some insight into our approach to making the stealth gameplay stand out among the rest of the pack: 

“We knew from the start that we weren’t going to build a conventional stealth title,” says Alexander. “Hope is loaded up with all different types of weapons and gear, and tons of resources. She’s a captive trying to escape. Rather than fight it out at every turn, we made a commitment to embrace it, giving République more of a “stealth survival” feel.”

In order to make the game feel meaningful, we also put a heavy focus on the narrative – once again, game designer Paul Alexander expands on that point:

“A lot of how we approached the narrative ex

As we get ready for Gran Turismo 7 to race onto PS4 and PS5 this Friday, we thought it would be fun to invite five of the most talented and influential automotive experts across different automotive categories to Race Service in Los Angeles, CA to see how their love of cars are experienced in GT7.

Sung Kang – Collector

Beyond a notable actor, Sung Kang started his love for cars started very much like the classic GT Campaign mode where he purchased a relatively inexpensive Nissan 240Z online and started building it up with his friends on the weekends, tuning and learning as the build evolved through different stages of upgrades. Following its completion and debut of the “Fugu Z” at the 2016 SEMA Show (Speed Equipment Manufacturing Association), the customized Z won the coveted Gran Turismo Awards where it was later immortalized in GT Sport. Since then, Sung has continued to evolve the development of the Fugu Z and also started a collection of various vehicles including other classic JDM golden era and American Domestic vehicles, making him a true Collector.

Toni Breidinger – Racer

Professional NASCAR Driver and 19-time US Auto Club Champion grew up racing go-karts and naturally fell in love with the sport. Toni arrives to Race Service the day before traveling to Florida for a test weekend at Daytona International Speedway for the ve

Hello, I am Jérôme from 1P2P Studio and we developed the RPG brawler Young Souls. We posted a couple of months ago about the game’s bosses, and we’re back today to finally announce the game’s launch date! Prepare to slay some goblins soon when Young Souls is released on March 10. To celebrate, I’ll write a bit about what makes this game so special.

A 2D brawler, yes – but also… 

With Young Souls, our original goal was to create the ideal beat ’em up game.  Baptiste (my 1P2P co-founder) and I really love classic 2D brawlers and we wanted to mix influences and concepts that were close to our hearts in order to create the core gameplay of Young Souls.

Two opposing worlds

The Young Souls universe is divided into two distinct worlds: the human world and the goblin world. Our heroes belong to the human world, and you’ll start your adventure with Jenn and Tristan in their everyday life before an unfortunate event opens a gate to the goblin world. This mysterious gate was discovered in the basement of their house and will be a key location to the game. Keeping the duality between the two worlds was key to us, and you’ll be able to travel between them throughout the game.

In the human world, you can roam freely from the twin’s manor to the city of Portsborough, where you’ll find multiple shops and habitants to talk to. In the city’s underground lies a way into the Goblin market, where hidden friendly goblins will offer you gear to overcome the difficulties that you’ll face in the goblin world’s many dungeons.

In fact, the goblin world is where the “action” part of the game is. You’ll explore and unravel its dangers as well as

Have you ever wondered what kind of driving similarities can be discovered from driving on the same circuit in Gran Turismo 7 (virtual) compared to real-life (reality)?

With just over a week away from the launch of Gran Turismo 7, we thought it would be fun and interesting to have two racing experts to help us answer that question – one from virtual, the other from reality.

Utilizing Willow Springs International Raceway as our testing ground, the super-fast 2.5 mile, nine-turn road racing circuit has been home to some of the most classic Gran Turismo battles, including the FIA GT Championships 2021.

Professional race car driver, Dai Yoshihara, pilots a race-prepped Evasive Motorsports’ Tesla Model 3 Performance vehicle provides his real-life pointers on how to be tackle the one of the fastest and most challenging tracks in the U.S, including the ideal vehicle modification, racing lines, and small nuisances that only an experienced driver would know.

In parallel, a longtime fan of Gran Turismo, Steve Brown aka Super GT takes a modified Tesla Model S and gives his detailed insights from a virtual perspective through his in-game experiences with Gran Turismo 7.

Watch our two part Virtual to Reality video series where these experts provide their insights on the differences in GT7 and real life. Be sure to not miss the Side-by-Side comparison video of a flying lap in Gran Turismo 7 and in real life through the cockpit of a Tesla vehicle.
