Brit Mr House says the games console will feature a raft of new features to broaden its appeal beyond young male gamers.
Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.
From Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, Sand Land is a fun adaptation of the manga and anime in videogame form. For all of its simplicity and repetition, it's a beautiful interpretation of the source material.
Set to bring action adventuring to PC and console, Mark of the Deep is a narrative rich game which mixes in some decent ideas
It can appeal to them but it dosen't mean it's going to target them.
I mean Drive Club, Killzone SF and inFAMOUS SS....well those first party launch games speak for themselves really. They are all targeted a core male gamers.
I think it's fair to say the majority of core male gamers make up the gaming community, the ones who actually go out there and buy games/consoles at launch or within the launch window. I don't see why developers would waste time trying to appeal to everyone, take what you have, if people are actually interested in something they will come to you.
I'd rather see Sony let third parties handle casuals and first party handle hardcore... then again, more Journey/Flower/Heavy Rain/Beyond/Unfinished Swan-type games wouldn't hurt either.
It's certainly appealing to all the "gamer gurl xD" audience who will be streaming their cleavage to teens while also playing Modern Warfare 4.
