Welp, Sony just sold SOE meaning they've lost the following PS4 console exclusives possibly, and the rights to them:

• H1Z1
• Planetside 2
• EverQuest Next
• DC Universe Online (also on PS3)

I have been very scarce on watching Bloodborne media. I am such a fan of the series I didn't need selling on it, I WILL be buying it. I decided to give this video a watch, which it reveals a few things I had not yet realized.......and I am loving it.

-HUB World return, "The Hunter's Dream" pretty much acts as the Nexus. I thought having a fully connected world was a tad overrated because it became very confusing if you hadn't played the game for a while and lose your sense of direction, not to mention it always seemed like faster travel to me. Having that solitary sanctuary where nothing can hurt you(most of the time) gave my mind a sense of peace as well.

-The Player talks to some woman half way through the video. She is wearing what looks like Yuria the Witch's robes, but is wearing Mephistopholese mask. Loving the easter eggs from Demon's Souls.

I am interested to find out....

-the exact role that blood plays to the player. What was so amazing about Demon's Souls "Soul" concept is that they really make you feel like it is the most precious thing in the world. You use it as a universal currency which I just love. It is what drives you as well as your enemies to do every action. 

-Seeing as there is no magic, its going to be very interesting to see how they even the odds. The guns seem to all dep pack a punch, great for making enemies Heel. A properly executed strong attack seems to do the same, albiet more risky. I know we saw that lantern/pot thing that shoots fire like a flamethrower. I hope there isn't such a heave emphesise on fire as an element as there was in Dark Souls. SHOW ME SOME ELECTRIFIED WEAPONS!!!

-Interesting concept of people hiding in their homes, only revealed to you by noticing the light of their window or under their door. Very interesting indeed.

-Hate how  the Player in the vid just ran through everywhere, although I am sure he was made to do so. No exploring and many obvious item locales abandoned. It was tearing me up inside as someone with extreme explorer's hoarding syndrome. He also left himself to some obvious ambushes. Also, from hence forth all Bloodborne/Souls related content should always end with a death scene haha.

-Please From Software, can we change the "You Died" back to "You are Defeated" or better yet "You have been Slain"?

"Ye have a heart of gold........Don't let them take it from ya....."

Project Cars dev says getting Morpheus to work is relatively painless

The development team behind the forthcoming Project CARS committed to bringing the title to Project Morpheus on PlayStation 4 last year and have even gone so far as to allow media representatives to get hands-on with the Oculus Rift edition of the videogame. However, talking with VRFocus, Slightly Mad Studios has also confirmed that a Project Morpheus build exists and, in fact, wasn’t too great an ordeal to develop.

“Sony’s dev tools are really strong and we’ve got a great working relationship with them,” states Pete Morrish, Lead Producer at Slightly Mad Studios, in an interview with VRFocus. “So getting Project Morpheus up-and-running was relatively painless. Not easy as that would be doing our tech team a disservice, but relatively painless.”

When questioned about the eventual support for VR with the final Project CARS release, Morrish stated: “Certainly for Project Morpheus it’ll probably be patched in at a later date. For Oculus our pipeline and our tech is relatively mature so it may have… the builds that we’re putting out to the community at the moment are Oculus ready, so people who are WMD members that are playing the game that have Oculus can play it in VR.”

Project CARS is currently in development for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U and PC and is set to launch next month. VRFocus will keep you updated with all the latest from Slightly Mad Studios including bringing you the full interview with Morrish later this week.

Dying Light is reaaaally fun! Didn't know  almost the WHOLE campaign was playable online 4 o-op D:

Here I am!

Both Dead Islands were 4 player coop as well. 

Sony selling SOE isn't that bad. The studio has always been very PC-focused and didn't have much interest in console development. That's probably why Sony sold them. To date they've only actually released one PS4 game, and that was just a port of a PS3 game. Planetside 2 was supposed to be a launch title for PS4 but it's still not out. Why? Because SOE directs all their resources to PC. I find it funny that people think Daybreak is going to start releasing a bunch of new Xbox games. They barely even worked on PS4 games. I wouldn't see any console ports of a game releasing until years after the game had actually been launched.

I was going to post this in the SOE thread but it seems to be broken.
