Posted on June 16, 2015 at 3:52 pm

After years of complaining, Shenmue fans will finally get their wish. Yu Suzuki has confirmed that Shenmue 3 is definitely happening, with the announcement being made last night at Sony’s E3 conference.

It was revealed in an interesting way, with Suzuki also starting up a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the making of the game. Asking for $2 million worth of pledges, which was achieved within a few hours.

“I have dreamed of making this sequel for 14 years. “It is time to bring Shenmue back! And to make it come true, it will need the love and support from each and every one of you!” (Yu Suzuki)

Although the $2 million target has already been met, fans are still advised to continue donating with more targets if the figure reaches $3.5 million and then $4 million.

Posted on May 28, 2015 at 11:17 am

Shock, horror, another PS4 game is experiencing issues since its release, today’s victim – Ultra Street Fighter 4. Gamers so far, have confirmed about lag, graphical glitches, a slowdown in menu and also sound bugs.

Developers of the game Capcom, issued the following statement;

“SCEA and Capcom are currently looking into the issues that some users may be experiencing and are working to resolve them as quickly as possible. A lot of our more competitive players have wondered how the USFIV version of PS4 will affect them and the tour. 
To that we’d like to advise that the integrity of the Capcom Pro Tour is a top priority for us and we will continue to work with tournament organisers worldwide to ensure that the highest quality event will be run. Each region will maintain its current hardware standard for the remainder of the 2015 Capcom Pro Tour until otherwise announced. 

We will keep you updated as to when the PS4 version of USFIV will be integrated into the Pro Tour.”

It seems as if no game is released nowadays without a glitch. Guess it’s something we’re just going to have to get used to.

Next Destiny Update To Be More Colourblind-Friendly

Posted on March 20, 2015 at 3:34 pm

Bungie have revealed that the next update for popular game ‘Destiny’ will feature a colourblind mode. There are gamers that struggle to distinguish colours in the game, so colourblind mode is Bungie’s solution to the problem.

“You may not have trouble distinguishing the red blips on the motion tracker from the red surface of Mars, for example, but chances are you know someone who does. Our solution for this subset of our community is a proper ‘Colourblind Mode’ for Destiny. Adapting the existing user interface to support various colourblind modes turned out to be a fairly complex challenge. But we managed to build a flexible toolkit for our designers that helped them do just that with minimally-invasive surgery and no negative impact to existing functionality.” (Brad Fish, Bungie)

When the new update is ready, colourblind gamers will see a higher contrast level helping to differentiate colours.
