Share of the Week: 30th Anniversary

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Last week, asked you to share your favorite PlayStation games, consoles, and gaming collections using #PSshare #PSBlog to celebrate PlayStation’s 30th anniversary. Here are this week’s nostalgic highlights:

dwardlozano shares the in-game 30th anniversary celebration in Astro Bot.

Hironobu Sakaguchi interview: Fantasian Neo Dimension, Final Fantasy and 20 years of Mistwalker

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Fantasian Neo Dimension launched December 5 on PS5 and PS4. This Mistwalker RPG features the creative work of two industry icons, both legends in the genre. First, there’s composer Nobuo Uematsu, who has lent his talents to the game’s score, the last full game soundtrack he’ll produce solo, capping off an incredible 30-plus years of work. Last week, he walked us through just some of his favorite pieces. 

Today, we talk to the second creative force involved, game producer and Mistwalker CEO Hironobu Sakaguchi. The creator joined us earlier this year on PS Blog to discuss the game’s PS5 release. Our new chat, which you can hear in full on the Official PlayStation Podcast later today, casts the net wider to discuss his thoughts on the RPG genre, his long term working partnership with Uematsu-san, and marking both Mistwalker’s 20th anniversary and PlayStation’s 30th. 

Hironobu Sakaguchi interview: Fantasian Neo Dimension, Final Fantasy and 20 years of Mistwalker

Note: this interview is condensed for clarity and brevity. Hear the full conversation on the new Official PlayStation Podcast, launching later today. 

Playstation Blog: You’re well regarded for your work in the RPG field, and RPGs are known for compelling team ups with disparate characters. For you, what makes a great character party? 

Hironobu Sakaguchi: You want your cast of characters to have a wide range of both personality and diverse backgrounds, different character settings and stories. As they traverse this world and go on their adventure, I think seeing the shift and change in characters is one of the most attractive things you can experience as a player of an RPG. 

On the game mechanics side, of course, which is equally important, specifically in Fantasian Neo Dimension, each character has their own rather unique set of attributes. Some characters might be more heavily skewed in defense, others might be more adept at magic, or some might do DPS, in the form of physical attacks. But that unique attribute or element that they bring to the table, in combat is going to become invaluable. So in Fantasian Neo Dimension, you can swap out your party and team members without consuming one of your turns, which makes your team composition and combat quite dynamic.

Seasons greetings 2024 from PlayStation Blog and friends

Turok: Origins announced for PS5 – first gameplay details

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hi, I’m Jesus Iglesias, game director here at Saber Interactive. We recently revealed that our upcoming title Turok: Origins is coming to PS5, so we gathered some burning questions around the fresh announcement. I’m excited to share additional details on the upcoming release of Turok: Origins with PlayStation Blog.

Turok: Origins announced for PS5 – first gameplay details

Can you talk more about third person and why you decided to take that route?

We’re all big fans of the previous games and the franchise overall. But ultimately we wanted to explore a different direction from the previous Turok titles. Saber has a rich history of making third-person shooters and our experience in that space gives us a unique opportunity to evolve the franchise while keeping familiar elements that make for a great Turok experience. We’ve created a fresh take on the classic Turok franchise that fans both old and new will enjoy.

What’s your perspective on the history of the Turok franchise?

Traditionally, Turok is a very eclectic franchise, mixing elements as diverse as dinosaurs, aliens, and robots. We feel we have begun a new chapter for the franchise with Turok: Origins.

How does Turok: Origins fit in the Turok lore? 

Turok​: Origins​ fits seamlessly into the Turok universe as the legendary Turok Warriors unite to save humanity from an aggressive alien species and total annihilation. As the story unfolds, players will discover ancient mysteries that tie into the Order of the​ ​Turok and its history.

Why do you think the appreciation for Turok has been so enduring?

We believe it has a little something for everyone, fitting very well into the imaginations of players who like to explore strange, fantastic worlds throughout the universe, adventuring around new planets, new creatures and enemies and of course, fighting dinosaurs.

What are some of the most exciting challenges and opportunities in bringing Turok back to a modern age?

The challenges with bringing Turok back are similar to those we face with any major project. The gaming market is very competitive, and there are always new and interesting things we need to be ready for. But we see Turok as a very exciting opportunity because it has such a strong legacy with unique features that make it stand out with the dinosaurs, aliens, action, and exploration.

Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond drops today

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Citizens of Super Earth! Do not fear the resurgence of Illuminate scum – the Helldivers will be ready to fight them in the streets, at your doorsteps, and on the city borders and boundaries! The Ministry of Defense is authorizing the sale and distribution of the Urban Legends Premium Warbond* to all Helldivers, available starting now!

Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond drops today

You’ve been fighting in swamps, deserts, and frozen wastelands with our finest weapons. But what kind of kit do you need to make a dent in the invading forces when it comes to your own streets?

Fighting in colonies means narrow streets and close encounters, so we’re introducing our first melee secondary weapon with the SQC-19 Stun Lance. This extra-large poker will give you good range and pairs perfectly with the SH-51 Directional Shield stratagem.

We think you’re going to appreciate some stationary firepower–something you can call down into a city center to put a dent in those Illuminate Harvesters. The E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement will allow you to liberate even the most heavily armored of enemies using the most democratic of firepower.

But what if you’re facing down a horde of Voteless and the Anti-Tank just won’t take out enough of them at once? I know what I’m going to call down: the A/FLAM-40 Flame Sentry. A stationary, high-powered flamethrower turret. Be careful with this one, though, Helldiver–if the red ammo canister takes too much fire, the whole sentry will go up in flames, taking anyone nearby with it.

While you’re busy holding off the onslaught with the shield and lance, you can get some additional help from the new Armed Resupply Pods booster, which upgrades your resupply pods with a tiny top-mounted turret to fend off stragglers while you make your way to the ammo drop. Just remember to keep your head down on approach!

Turn yourself into an immovable object for the enemy with the SR-18 Roadblock heavy armor. With a crested, Spartan-style helmet and imposing pauldrons to bulk up your shoulders, you’re sure to look the part.

Announcing Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a new franchise From Naughty Dog 

Game Ace Pro 0 0

We’re back! You have been dying to know what’s next for us, and I’m thrilled to finally be able to answer: Naughty Dog’s next game is Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, currently in development for the PlayStation 5 console. We’ve been working on this brand-new adventure since 2020! This game is shaping up to be our wildest, most creative story yet. If you haven’t already, check out the announcement trailer: 

Announcing Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a new franchise From Naughty Dog 

Intergalactic stars our newest protagonist, Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. In fact, anyone who’s flown to it hoping to unravel its mysterious past was never heard from again. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit. 

Capcom’s Onimusha series reawakens with Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 2026

Game Ace Pro 0 0

We’re thrilled to announce after nearly two decades, the Onimusha series is returning with Onimusha: Way of the Sword, a brand-new swordplay action game coming in 2026.

Capcom’s Onimusha series reawakens with Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 2026

Onimusha first debuted with Onimusha: Warlords back in 2001, with swordplay combat based on the “Issen” counterattack mechanics. Introduced as a staple in the series, the mystical Oni Gauntlet bestowed the ability to absorb souls from the Genma, who were monstrous deformed creatures from another world.

At The Game Awards 2024, we came back with a swing—or should we say slash. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is set in Kyoto in the early Edo period. The nefarious Malice has transformed the historic city into a dark twisted haven for the return of the demonic Genma.
