Will Sony be absent from Gamescom 2016?
Each year since 2009, gamers have flocked to Germany for the annual event Gamescom. Taking place shortly after E3, the august event in Cologne continues to showcase new products and never before seen gameplay. Microsoft in particular took the opportunity in 2015 to showcase worldwide exclusives such as Crackdown 3 among others. Sony however, decided to opt out of last year’s convention in favor of Paris’ Games Week in late October/early November.
According to an updated exhibitor list, Sony will be present at the event and will have a booth there, but whether they will have their European press conference there remains to be seen. PlayStation Europe president Jim Ryan stated at E3 2016 that they hadn’t decided where or when their Euro conference would be held. The question remains; why?
The main factor for Sony missing out on the German-based event is simply down to it being so close to E3. Similar to a few other publishers and developers, some companies choose to show very little or nothing at all at Gamescom, having just revealed so much at E3 just a couple of months earlier. Sony are currently working on the likes of Horizon: Zero, God of War and implementing PlayStation VR, so it is understandable they may want to space out their announcements and reveal at an event later in the year.
Gamescom 2016 will take place at Trade Fair City in Cologne from 17-21 August.
Sonic Frontier’s third and final free DLC update, The Final Horizon, is frustrating some players with its difficulty. Some say it’s Sonic’s hardest gameplay ever.
Many players complained about this unexpected difficulty spike in a 12-page GameFaqs forum post called “This DLC is way too hard” (thanks VGC). One of the main complaints about Sonic Frontiers was that it was too easy, and Team Sonic overcorrected, which makes it surprising.
Final Horizon, the last free update, let players play as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy and complete a variety of optional challenges, which is the challenge. Many are breaking down after a vertigo-inducing tower that requires pixel-perfect platforming without checkpoints, apparently inspired by viral Twitch hit Only Up!
Have you tried Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC? Is it really that hard, or has Sonic always been the Dark Souls of mascot platformers?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s cinematic trailer appeared suddenly as the wait seemed endless. It shows us that together, we can overcome anything.
The scene is surprisingly sad, with flashbacks to each Spider-Man’s tragic past. As property damages mount, Peter and Miles have emotional internal monologues while fighting Venom.
Venom appears to be about to lose when he realizes they can be stronger together before the scene fades to black. We won’t know how this story ends until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on October 20.
Do you think teamwork makes the dream work? Should you see more of Insomniac’s latest or are you sold?
A new trailer featuring Aleks Le’s fearless protagonist S.E.E.S makes Persona 3 Reload more real. Atlus promises weekly character tributes, so get excited. Our stoic protagonist, who will be playable on PS5 and PS4 when this remade RPG releases on February 2, is introduced well.
We’ve accepted playing without our favorite character and are starting to like Reload. The setting, story, and cast have always been great, and the more we learn about the proposed changes, the more we want to return to Tartarus.
With Persona 3 Reload, where are you? Did you play the game before or is this your first time?
