Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, the new entry of the series developed by CyberConnect 2 launching later this year in all regions on consoles and PC, is one of the more anticipated releases of 2015 for fans of the manga and anime series. Today, these fans have the chance to become even more excited for the game thanks to a new trailer that’s been made available a few minutes ago.

The new trailer, which can be found by going at the end of this post, has been released for the E3 2015 and features plenty of epic gameplay sequences. If you have loved the previous entries of the series, you will surely love the new game as well.

Last week a new Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 playable character has been revealed by Shonen Jump magazine. The game will feature Rikudo Madara, also known as Six Paths Madara and Jinchuriki Madara, as playable fighter. The characters is also going to be featured in a boss battle against Naruto and Sasuke. A new screenshot and artwork has also emerged online last week, showcasing the character.

The new Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 E3 2015 trailer confirmed once again that the game will be released during Autumn 2015 but a precise release date has yet to be confirmed. Earlier this month UK retailer GAME has started listing the game with a generic September release date. The date has yet to be confirmed officially but there’s a good chance the game will be released on that month, considering the previous entry of the series, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution has been released last year during September on consoles and PC.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 will be released on a yet to be confirmed Autumn 2015 release date on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in all regions. Despite lacking a final release date, some retailers have started listing the game’s Day One Edition as well as Limited and Collector’s Editions, which will supposedly include DLC packs and extra goodies that won’t be available in the regular edition of the game. As the listings have been removed a few hours after going live, we still don’t know for certain if these special editions will be released or not.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.

Developers are reportedly questioning the purpose behind Sony’s PS5 Pro upgrade

Two major stories have emerged at GDC this year: the decline of Xbox’s brand and the speculation surrounding the purpose of the PS5 Pro. During a podcast discussion, Christopher Dring, a prominent reporter from GamesIndustry.biz, expressed his observations about the lack of understanding surrounding Sony’s rumored mid-gen upgrade. Dring claims that he came across a lot of people at the show who were confused about its purpose.

He made it clear that he anticipates “PS5 fans” upgrading, which gives Sony certain advantages. However, game developers are finding it difficult to generate enthusiasm for the system. “Developers don’t seem to see the necessity for it, based on my conversations with them,” he disclosed. Some people believe they aren’t fully maximizing the potential of the PS5 from the start.

With the lingering effects of the pandemic and the lengthy development cycles, the PlayStation 5 has yet to showcase a substantial lineup of exclusive blockbuster titles. “Some companies expressed skepticism about the potential for growth and impact,” Dring nonchalantly remarked. This current generation of consoles appears to have barely begun, with no apparent demand for a mid-generation update. How about we focus on developing fresh, cutting-edge software?

The journalist later explained that Sony likely has realistic expectations for the refresh, understanding that it will likely have limited appeal to a specific audience. As we’ve mentioned before, the introduction of PlayStation Spectral Resolution and other innovative features is aimed at enhancing the performance modes in games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Thus, if such an experience resonates with your preferences, you likely fall into the niche audience that PlayStation aims to cater to.

Sony’s Bend Studios is expanding its team for another high-profile game, signaling PlayStation’s ongoing pursuit of the live service trend. When we last heard from the Oregan-based developer of Days Gone, Bend expressed their anticipation and confidence in their upcoming project, suggesting that it would propel the studio to new heights.

By way of Eurogamer, the studio has alerted us to this most recent update. It appears that a recruitment ad has been recently posted on the company’s website. Bend is looking for a lead project manager who can effectively manage project scope based on current team velocities and milestone schedules. The role requires hands-on game development experience in leadership roles, specifically in shipping AAA live-service games. Specifically, the ideal candidate should possess a proven ability to transform game development studios from a traditional focus on boxed products to dynamic live service development, all while holding a key leadership position.

It’s worth noting that while a service game out of Bend has the potential to be great, it’s important to acknowledge the numerous failed attempts in recent history. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve reported on a cancelled Spider-Man game, rumors of an online Twisted Metal project, and a fantasy co-op game that got axed when London Studio shut down. And mind you, that’s just scratching the surface of what Sony has been up to. Choosing to take a chance with a studio that specializes in single-player games seems questionable, to say the least.
