Stewart Gilray clears up Lanning's "performance gap" "quote"

Image
Quite a stir has been made about how our friends at  Oddworld Games namely Lorne Lanning, has said that the inferior Xbox one hardware can some how magically catch up to PS4 performance without a hardware overhaul. Cinimablend have cleared this up.(thanks) Recently there was an interview with Just Add Water's highly outspoken developer Lorne Lanning. In the interview it was interpreted that the “performance gap” between the PS4 and Xbox One would narrow. This is not true. The CEO of Just Add Water, the company behind the Oddworld games, has come forward to clarify the situation. The original interview came from Xbox Achievements , where they interpreted Lanning's comments about the gap thinning between the two eighth gen consoles as something that would happen over time. However, CEO Stewart Gilray spoke with Worlds Factory to clear up those statements, saying... “Actually that is NOT what he said. I spoke to Lorne afterwards and what he meant when speaking to t...

Rezzed 2014:Murdered Soul Suspect 1080p on Playstation 4

Image
Square Enix were on the show floor showing off the excellent looking Murdered Soul Suspect on PS4. Rory from Square confirmed that the game will be running at 1080p. The game looks excellent with a great idea for a story. We will be following this game very closely with new media coming  soon after Rezzed has finished.

Rezzed 2014:Playstation 4 dominated show floor.

Image
Don't underestimate the power of Playstation. This years Rezzed has shown how far ahead of the competition Sony has stridden. Yes many Indies were on the show floor but this is a good thing, a very healthy thing for us gamers and the smaller developers. Sony set out to pull developers in and have done this in a big way. At Eurogamer last year we saw many, at Rezzed we have seen many more and what is very obvious is how far on these excellent looking games are. Two games really stood out for me. The first was a side scrolling game that was based heavily on using the old grey matter. The Swapper is what it says on the tin, you swap your position with another to activate switches, get to higher places etc. The art style was beautiful with nice lightning effects. Next was a game that had a kind of Borderlands look to it. Helldivers is a top down shooter that is obviously a homage to starship troopers in the level on show. Online Co-op was confirmed for 4 players w...

Rezzed 2014:Alien Isolation 1080p greatness on Playstation4

Image
Update:Sega have confirmed that the game will hit retail on October 7th 2014. Alien Isolation.......no no wait, this is a great looking Alien game. No really. Anyone that loves the movies knows that what makes them great is the atmosphere. Not hoards of dumb aliens running at you from here there and everywhere. I don't want to do the oldest trick in the book and say this but I have to, its like Outlast in a very nostalgic alien world. You even play as Ripley's daughter. I wont spoil anything but fans of the movies will be made up with the nods towards the silver screen versions. I looked at all versions of the game on show behind closed doors and even though the PC version was running on smaller screens it was the PS4 version on 40" screens that looked the best. The developers confirmed that the PS4 version ran at 1080p. I jumped three times during the demo and was left wanting more. This has gone from interested to must have. Don't turn out the lights...

Rezzed 2014:War Thunder Tanks in two months on Playstation 4.

Image
On the show floor was the excellent looking War Thunder with Tanks being shown off for the PC version. Without wasting any time I asked the team when we can expect tanks in the Playstation 4 version. "Tanks will launch in one months time on PC and we hope for a month later on PS4". It's  unclear if he meant a closed beta or open beta. Either way its exciting news for World War two fans. We'll update as soon as we get more info.
