Bryce Harper will be your MLB The Show 19 cover athlete when the game launches on March 26

Posted on November 5, 2018 by John Scalzo

The Boston Red Sox closed the book on the 2018 season with a World Series win last week, and if you listen closely, you can already hear the “Wait ’til next year!” chants coming from the fans of every other team. So now’s the perfect time for Sony to announce that MLB The Show 19 will be released for the PS4 on March 26 with Bryce Harper.

Harper is currently a free agent, and we have no idea where he’ll play next season, but he made a big name for himself in Washington, winning the 2012 NL Rookie of the Year, 2015 NL MVP, and the 2018 Home Run Derby. But it sounds like Harper has big plans for the future:

Bryce’s unapologetic raw passion for the game and search for a potential team makes him the player to watch this off-season. We’re at the beginning of a new chapter in the epic MLB legacy of Bryce Harper. He’s got the skill and tenacity to be a hall-of-fame ballplayer. He’s got an explosive drive to win, and he’s hungrier than ever for a World Series ring.

MLB The Show 19 will be available in four different bundles next year, beginning with a Standard Edition with a pretty standard price ($59.99).

But fans will also be able to grab the Gone Yard Edition ($99.99) exclusively at GameStop, and it’ll include 1 New Era Gone Yard Edition 9FIFTY Hat, Limited Edition Steel Book, 1 In-Game Digital Diamond Dynasty New Era Gone Yard Edition 9FIFTY Hat, 1 Prestige Gear Up Choice Pack, 1 of 30 Diamond Flashbacks, 15,000 Stubs, 20 Standard Packs, 1 Classic Stadium, and 30 Custom Avatars.

The Digital Deluxe Edition ($99.99) will offer up a similar package exclusively through the PlayStation Store. The MVP Edition ($69.99) will cut out the hat and a few of the digital bonuses, but it’ll include 1 Prestige Player Gear Up Choice Pack, 1 of 30 Diamond Flashbacks, 6,000 Stubs, 1 Classic Stadium, 10 Standard Packs, and 30 Custom Avatars.

You can read up on all the game’s editions at the PlayStation Blog.

New Retail Releases: Tetris Effect, World of Final Fantasy Maxima, Carnival Games, More

Posted on November 5, 2018 by John Scalzo

It’s not often that we can talk about a new Tetris game as the biggest release of the week, but that’s exactly what’s happening this week.

The Tetris Company has teamed up with Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Enhance to transform the classic puzzle game into Tetris Effect, a wild extravaganza of sight and sound. Set to launch exclusively for the PS4 this Friday, November 9, Tetris Effect will also feature support for the PlayStation VR headset.

A pair of re-releases will also make their way onto store shelves this week as Square Enix will bring World of Final Fantasy Maxima, their chibi-styled crossover RPG, to the Xbox One for the first time. It’ll be joined by 2K’s Carnival Games, which brings its midway minigames to the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.

Finally this week, WB Games is prepping a release of the Hitman 2: Gold Edition ahead of the action shooter’s Standard Edition launch next week. And stores will begin stocking the Xbox One S 1TB + Battlefield V Bundle, even though the included download code for Battlefield V won’t go live until next Thursday, November 15.

You can find the rest of this week’s new retail releases after the break. (more…)

Ashe is an outlaw gunslinger… and the next Hero to be added to Overwatch

Posted on November 2, 2018 by John Scalzo

It’s BlizzCon time, and Blizzard has used their annual convention to announce the next addition to Overwatch. The shooter’s 29th Hero will be Elizabeth Caledonia “Calamity” Ashe (or Ashe for short), an outlaw gunslinger who rides with the Deadlock Gang.

According to her biography on Overwatch’s official website, Ashe has a hair trigger, a love of dynamite, and a robotic sidekick named B.O.B. You can expect to see all three when facing off against her in any of the game’s arenas:

Overview (Role: Damage)
Ashe quickly fires her rifle from the hip or uses her weapon’s aim-down sights to line up a high damage shot. She blasts enemies by throwing dynamite, and her coach gun packs enough punch to put some distance between her and her foes. And Ashe is not alone, as she can call on her omnic ally B.O.B., to join the fray when the need arises.

Ability: The Viper
Ashe’s semi-automatic rifle fires quick shots, or she can use her aim-down sights for a more damaging, precise shot.

Ability: Dynamite
Ashe throws an explosive that detonates after a short delay or immediately when shot. The explosion from Dynamite also lights enemies on fire, dealing damage over time.

Ability: Coach Gun
Ashe blasts enemies in front of her, knocking them away and propelling herself backward for added mobility.

Ability: B.O.B.
Ashe summons her trusted omnic sidekick, B.O.B., who charges forward and knocks enemies into the air, then lays down suppressing fire with his arm cannons.

Blizzard didn’t say when Ashe would be available to download, but you can find an introductory gameplay trailer and an animated “Origin Story” for the outlaw after the break. (more…)

Call of Cthulhu, The Quiet Man, Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum Session, more coming to PS Store this week

Posted on October 31, 2018 by John Scalzo

“If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.”

H.P. Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu is now available to download for the PS4, and this adaptation of Chaosism’s tabletop RPG might make a nicely spooky companion for tonight’s Halloween festivities.

For more seasonally-appropriate thrills, Square Enix and Human Head’s The Quiet Man will be available to download for the PS4 beginning tomorrow. Taking place over the course of a single night, players will take control of a deaf man named Dane as he attempts to figure out why a singer was kidnapped by a “mysterious masked man.”

Other new PS4 launches of note this week are Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum Session, the next entry in Bandai Namco’s unique rhythm franchise, and Dream Daddy: Dadrector’s Cut, the dad-dating simulator that took the indie community by storm in 2017.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the PlayStation Store after the break. (more…)

Nier: Automata’s 2B will soon join Soul Calibur VI as a playable character

Posted on October 29, 2018 by John Scalzo

Bandai Namco has announced that Nier: Automata‘s black-clad android, 2B, will soon join Soul Calibur VI as a playable character. We don’t know exactly when she’ll be added to the game, but the new trailer embedded above gives us a good look at her fighting style:

2B wields two swords, Virtuous Contract and Virtuous Treaty. Both have been carefully tuned for maximum efficiency in the hands of a YoRHa android. Her fighting technique is specially designed for combat against machine lifeforms, employing acrobatic leaps and mid-air slashes, lightning-fast evasions and perfectly coordinated strikes.

2B will be a playable fighter in Versus mode, Arcade mode, and Online matches. 2B will also come with her own stage and background music.

Once Bandai Namco adds 2B to Soul Calibur VI, she’ll also come with an alternate costume, alternate weapons, and “Extra Parts & Stickers” to further customize the character’s appearance.
