Removing DRM has only added to what the console can do First the Xbox One was an always online DRM restricted console,then it wasn’t. Fans booed and cried until Microsoft realized that the practicality of having an always online system just doesn’t work for everyone in this day and age. Now some patrons arepetitioning for it back. From day one things have been a mess. There was the“deal with it”Twitter incident, executives telling the public if they want an offline console tobuy an Xbox 360, and never really a clear message on how Family Sharing was ultimately going to work....

Legendary game designer and dignity-shirker Shigeru Miyamotohas been talkingabout the “me-too” motion controls of rival companies, claiming that Microsoft’s Project Natal and Sony’s Wiimote will face some tough challenges in their quest to get into the hands of consumers. “We have sold millions of controllers at a good price point. And we have that delivery system successfully already implemented,” explains the cheeky funster. “For other companies starting from zero and trying to figure out how to get it out there at a decent price point is a big challenge....

Original Dante! After I beatDmC: Devil May Crythe other day, I unlocked the white-haired Dante costume. Essentially,it’s the new Dante in his same “new” style, with his old hair color. It was small concession for fans who really cared what he looked like, but now we’re getting threemorecostumes that should placate a few more fans. They’ll be available for purchase (lol) on January 30th, and you may view them all in our lovely gallery....

The bout continues as Nvidia and AMD butt heads in the arena of “Graphics Card Supremacy” (it’s painfully obvious I know nothing about boxing). I mean, they’re both huge tech conglomerates, so it’s not as if Dr. Lisa Su and Jensen Huang fight it out school playground-style. Still, we’re seeing an ongoing battle as the price of mid-range GPUs takes a dive. As reported byTom’s Hardware, a number of products from Team Red and Team Green are becoming cheaper, to the point of being quite affordable, finally....

Five packs await your wallet If you put money on it, you probably didn’t make much as the odds were in your favor. 2K Games has announced a Season Pass forBattleborn, because of course it has. Thankfully it’s $19.99 (and not $50, like WB and a few others are charging these days), and comes with what seems to be throwaway content. Delivered by way of five packs ($4.99 piecemeal), they’ll come with one new story operation each, as well as new skins and taunts....

From what we’re told, the game will be an action title that will paint the legendary real-life serial Jack the Ripper in a whole new light — as a good guy....

That’s some momentum So,Pokemon Gois pretty popular. As in, millions of daily active users popular. So big in fact, that it has already surpassed Tinder in just one week without a global rollout, and is now taking on Twitter (a service that launched in 2006) in a battle of daily active users. As of one week, five million installs have been recorded on just the Android platform, which catapulted it into the fastest mobile game ever in terms of taking the number one revenue spot — in other words, people are actually spending money on the microtransactions, which is good news for Niantic....

Cosmic horror and shotgun punks Death Trashlooks like a mix of a lot of things: punk, cyberpunk, horror of the cosmic variety, and the post-apocalypse. It’s also mixing old-school role-playing with modern action gameplay. And later this month, we’ll get a chance to see how it all comes together. Developer Crafting Legends announced today that aDeath Trashdemo is coming as part of the Steam Next Fest, running from June 16 through 22....

This is the 27th of Last Seed, the Year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the Third Era and the final hours of my life.

That’s as many as two twos!Firmware update v.4.00has been released to the delight of PlayStation Blog commenters, and we are all excited to see that green loading bar again....

It’s an absolutely horrific thing to watch. A young man with a broken jaw, being robbed by a bunch of hooded chavs who surrounded him like sharks. Theviolence that’s rocked my home countrythis past week has made me feel pretty miserable and more than a little ashamed. Sony Computer Entertain Europe, however, has demonstrated some serious class, responding to the above footage by offering to replace the PSP that was stolen....
