  • El precio de la PS5 podría subir hasta $499

    El precio de la PS5 podría subir hasta $499

    Una nueva semana, una nueva ronda de rumores sobre la PlayStation 5 con la consola a punto de ser anunciada. El furor de la cascada de presuntas filtraciones ha disminuido, pero el río sigue llevando agua.

    Y aunque todos los rumores son sólo eso, rumores que no valen para nada hasta que Sony no los ponga en negro sobre blanco, merece la pena que los revisemos y los clasifiquemos en la escala de credibilidad de (casi) confirmado a improbable.

    La PS5 correrá casi todos los juegos del la PS4: (casi) confirmado

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey

    Este rumor ha sido casi totalmente confirmado en una conferencia de resultados del CEO de Ubisoft Yves Guillemot. Según Guillemot, tanto la nueva Xbox Series X como la PS5 “podrán utilizar casi todos los juegos de la consolas anteriores”.

    “Será algo nuevo en la industria,” dijo Guillemot. “[La retro-compatibilidad] ayudará a que las antiguas generaciones continúen siendo grandes en los próximos años”.

    Este dato ya se había filtrado como rumor/especulación, así que es una buena noticia poder confirmarlo al 99% gracias a un sello serio como Uibsoft.

    Una patente apunta a una nueva manera de usar la PSVR 2: quizás

    PSVR

    Sony ha patentado un nuevo controlador que usa el movimiento para la PSVR 2, la segunda versión del sistema de realidad virtual de la PS5. 

    Publicado por la organización international de patentes  WIPO, la nueva patente describe  un nuevo controlador con una forma similar al de la Nintendo Wii pero equipado con sensores que pueden registrar el movimiento de los dedos que determina que usuario está jugando así como la distancia entre varios controladores.

    “Este dispositivo de control se lleva en la mano e incluye: varios unidades sensor que detectan la dedos del usuario; y una pieza para soportar las unidades,” dice la descripción de la patente. “La pieza da soporte a los sensores sirve para cambiar la distancia entre sensores.”

    ¿Será esta patente indicativa de nuevos controladores Move para la PSVR2? Esperemos, aunque casi todas las patents no se materializan en productos finales.

    El precio de la PS5 se va a incrementar: ¿improbable?

    PS5

    Un artículo de Bloomberg dice que el incremento de los costes de la memoria DRAM y NAND — que son cruciales para el funcionamiento del procesador de la consola y son componentes muy demandados por la industria del celular — hace que la posibilidad de que Sony mantenga el precio final de la PS5 por debajo de los $400 será poco menos que imposible.

    De hecho, el informe dice que el coste de fabricación de cada consola será de unos $450 por unidad. Con ese precio resultaría imposible que Sony vendiera esa consola por menos de $500 a no ser que no quieran perder dinero con tal de capturar cuota de mercado. Los $499 sería el mismo que el precio original de la Xbox One y la Xbox One X. De hecho, si se añaden los costes globales de marketing, el precio de coste por unidad se podría disparar y a Sony no le quedaría otra que comerse la pérdida si no quiere que Microsoft la destroce.

    Por otra parte, ya había especulación que decía que el recio final sería de $499, así que este rumor no cambia mucho los anteriores. Sin embargo, seguimos creyendo que Sony cometería un error enorme si lanzara la PS5 a $500, por lo que vamos a calificar este rumor como un dubitativo improbable.

  • Quantic Dream to Self-Publish Future Projects, Take Full Advantage of PS5

    Uncaged.

    Detroit: Become Human developer Quantic Dream may have become a household name due to its collaborations with Sony, but the French studio is now planning a future where it will self-publish. As part of a blog post celebrating its 23rd anniversary, the studio suggested that it’ll be looking to support other companies, in addition to continuing to create its own games.

    It wrote: “This new venture will allow us to make decisions in total independence, and to address the technological and strategic opportunities of next-generation platforms. It will also allow us to help other developers, by providing investment and development support, so that they can fully express their talents. We want to support creators of original projects and help them, in turn, to achieve their vision and offer quality, ground-breaking experiences.”

  • Multiplayer Mode Resident Evil Resistance Adds Familiar Faces

    Alex Wesker and Ozwell Spencer.

    Multiplayer mode Resident Evil Resistance will ship alongside anticipated survival horror remake Resident Evil 3, meaning that it should be worth a shot – even if our initial impressions have been far from enthusiastic. And in the run up to release on 3rd April, publisher Capcom has revealed two new sadistic Masterminds who’ll be joining the online component: Alex Wesker and Ozwell Spencer. They’ll be accompanied by the previously announced Daniel Fabron and Annette Birkin.

    For those of you who aren’t familiar with how this mode works, it’s an asymmetrical affair where four hapless survivors face off against one cunning overseer. In the case of Wesker, you can expect her to use traps to snare her prey, including carnivorous plant monsters. Spencer, meanwhile, is more direct, plunging Umbrella’s depths for the most horrific (and deadly) experiments he can find. Both sound fairly fun to utilise.

  • Ubisoft Revives Prince of Persia, But Not As You Hoped

    At least it’s not a smartphone game.

    There are only two franchises we want out of Ubisoft right now: Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia. The former’s looking unlikely right now, while the latter’s making a comeback – as a virtual reality Escape Room experience. To be fair, Prince of Persia: The Dagger of Time sounds neat: you’ll work co-operatively in teams of up to four in a room-scale VR adventure, solving puzzles and manipulating time.

    The game will be playable in 300 locations around the globe, and due to the way it’s designed, is probably unlikely to ever make its way to PlayStation VR. Of course, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know this isn’t the publisher’s first foray into VR Escape Room experiences, as it’s already released two based on the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The concept must be proving popular for the publisher – but hopefully it invigorates interest in a true Prince of Persia successor on consoles.

  • First Persona 5 Scramble Japanese Review Is a Positive One

    45 hours of content.

    Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers is out in just over a week in Japan which means that reviews for the eastern release are about to make themselves known. The first rating comes from Famitsu, with the outlet giving it 36/40. That comprises of four 9/10 scores.

    It’s a rating lower than what Famitsu awarded Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, with those titles snatching a 39/40 and a 37/40 accordingly, but it still makes for promising reading when you consider the change in gameplay and combat mechanics. On top of that, the review has been translated into English to reveal some interesting details.
