Guerrilla subtly confirms a new Horizon game as its studio director moves on

April 24, 2023VG247

Though don’t expect to see anything anytime soon. To the surprise of no one, Guerrilla Games has basically confirmed that another Horizon game starring Aloy is on the way. Earlier today Guerrilla Games shared a blog post announcing that studio director and executive producer Angie Smets is leaving the developer after 20 years to join PlayStation Studios as head of development strategy. The post obviously wished Smets well in her new role, but it also pretty nonchalantly confirmed that Aloy will be returning for another Horizon game at some point. “We have full confidence in our new leadership as they…

PlayStation has acquired Firewalk Studios, still no word on what it’s making

April 23, 2023VG247

Firewalk is led by former Destiny developers, and plans is currently working on a multiplayer title. PlayStation has acquired Firewalk Studios, a development team working on an unrevealed multiplayer title.

Now, PlayStation has flat out acquired the developer, as it announced in a PlayStation Blog post earlier this week. If you haven’t heard of Firewalk Studios, that’s ok, because since its inception in 2018 it hasn’t actually released a game yet. Though the main focus appears to be multiplayer, as…

Horizon Forbidden West: Was PlayStation right to focus only on PS5 for the Burning Coast DLC?

April 21, 2023VG247

There are very few better-looking experiences on console right now than Horizon Forbidden West Burning Coast – but was that worth the loss of the PS4 audience? Sony knows how to make decent looking games. The platform architects/magicians the company has working away behind the scenes know their stuff, and whatever dark magic they’ve spun in making all the silicon and metal communicate and summon the graphics we’ve had on the PS5 exclusives is serious business. The best in the business, actually – the only thing I’ve seen that rivals Sony’s first-party stuff is the as-yet-unreleased Final Fantasy 16 (and…

The Last of Us Part 1’s latest patch on PC should stop drenching everyone

April 10, 2023VG247

Plus multiple crash fixes. The latest update for The Last of Us Part 1 on PC arrived over the long weekend, and with it everyone should stop randomly getting drenched. With buggy releases, typically bugs fall into two categories: funny and unfunny. Most of the issues with The Last of Us remake’s PC port fell into the former, but it’s hard to deny that characters randomly being completely covered in water in cutscenes isn’t funny. Too bad for those that did find it funny though, as a new patch dropped at the start of the long weekend which should now…

PlayStation VR2 first month sales figures reportedly below 300,000 units

April 2, 2023VG247

Potentially not a great start for the expensive bit of kit. A new report suggests that initial PlayStation VR2 figures aren’t looking so good in the first month the hardware has been out. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the PSVR2 has sold less than 300,000 units only a month after launching. This comes from research firm IDC, who told Bloomberg it expected the headset to have only sold 270,000 in its first month, a far cry from the two million Sony apparently wanted to produce by March this year. IDC’s vice president of data and analytics Francisco Jeronimmo…
