An opinions began to emerge, that NVIDIA PhysX SDK engine and PhysX Technology as a whole won’t find its place in the world of next-generation consoles and, thus, will be abandoned quickly.
A brand new game from Annapurna has been announced at The Game Awards. It is from the creators of Abzu. The Pathless is a console exclusive to PlayStation 4
I could see it being a timed exclusive ala Edith Finch which Annapurna published for Giant Sparrow last year. Either way, they seem to have a good relationship with Sony if they’re doing it again. Giant Squid’s working on it too and Abzu was free on Plus last year.
This week Gareth, Michael, and Justin at Skewed and Reviewed look at the reveal of Fallout 76. They also discuss the leaked PS4 titles from the pending E3 showcase and discuss Dark Souls: Remastered and PAX West tickets going on sale as well as no theatrical presentation at E3 for Black Ops IIII.

I’m so torn on fallout 76 I would love another game similar to new Vegas but it doesn’t sound like it. At the same time it’s fallout and I’ll wanna play it either way but I may skip it if it is going the way of what the “leaks” are saying.I’m just hoping it ends up being more new Vegas style than what these “leaks” are saying.
I think it is safe to say it will likely not be like the others. Free to play has been kicked around but likely an online aspect.
I think it will be key in what they do with it. Free to play online only is one thing but a game that allows co-op and team play has potential.
@Garethvk
I see lots of opportunity for some kind of co-op game. You could have a team build a settlement, scavenge the wasteland for resources and then defend against waves of attackers.
It's not online because Bethesda current engine won't allow deep online modes
It might have some online aspects but I don't see a online only fallout game
Let's just wait until E3 until we make a judgement call. It's a week from now. One of the leaks I heard was ghoul-elephants that escaped from a zoo. They can't all be real.
It’s a service game. Look at the money ESO is making. Why make another ES right now? It will be some type of survival mmo of sorts is my guess.
I've never played a fallout game but I've known of them since the 90's. Always kind of interested me but never enough to play.
I actually am interested in this one.
Not sure why people are so opposed to multiplayer fallout, I think it's a great universe to co op in . Now if it's PvP functionality, not so much. plus it doesn't sound like this replaces the existence of a fallout 5 down the road, and I wouldn't doubt if another developer is working on a new Vegas line spin off. Let's just breathe, and see how this turns out.
A traditionally single player franchise is releasing a new game this time with a multiplayer focus... It doesn't matter what Bethesda does in the future; right now a bunch of people are naturally feeling disappointed.
I hate change as Much as the next person, and yes single player games matter, but if this industry doesn't have diversity and franchises door change things up every now and then things become stagnant and die off.
Fallout has plenty of room to evolve as a single player... Bethesda just wants a piece of the multiplayer pie.
People need to get over it. It seems like a spin off and it's just the Sony fans mad that multiplayer is the real money maker.
Yeah, because "people" were totally expecting a sequel that soon. /s
They just made something "people" were not waiting for, then if "people" aren't interested in it, they should just skip it and wait for Fallout 5 within 5 years as they were doing before Bethesda announced 76. SMH.
I'd rather a New Vegas style game than an ESO "Fallout" edition. If they want a mp Fallout why not do New Vegas 2 but with drop in/out co op? Make a Fallout side story like New Vegas, but with co op similar to Borderlands.
Fallout does indeed have an interesting world, but so did Elder Scrolls. Do we really want Fallout turned into a f2p, MT ridden style game?
And that idea sounds great, that could be similar to what's going on here. My point is people are panicking at the very thought of multiplayer. Let's condemn if bad not based solely pin multiplayer.
People are opposed to multiplayer anything. There are some gamers who strangely despise anything online related, and there are some gamers who say single player games aren't worth the money. For some reason it seems more and more rare to find people who just enjoy both, on the internet anyway.
That is what so much is focused on now. You have game that are designed as eSports first in their design priority.
That and streaming,it's the ultimate advertising.Just look at sports and advertising in general.
So true. You have all sorts of talking head celebs popping up who do not even play the games just talk about them.
But how many of these games are competitive enough to be eSports? If I remember right, Dissidia NT wanted a piece of that pie and it kinda flopped. Even newer games like Street Fighter aren't as balanced as they should be for competitive play. People can stream for the sheer spectacle which I'm fine with (especially single-player games), but it's hard work and alot of time to get a game down pat for the purpose of making it an esport.
I can see it working best as a co-op like Monster Hunter, not sure how PvP would work without frustrating players though.
PlayStation 4 exclusive Detroit: Beyond Human has released to a tide of critical acclaim for its technical accomplishments and narrative-driven format, amid concerns over its approach to themes of android and human civil rights, domestic abuse, slavery and oppression.
Replies(1)No it doesn't! It's still a technical marvel and it's narrative and themes are great! Most are having a blast with it and really there's just a very small minority that is upset with it!
Enjoyed the game, the story, the attention to detail and the music. Very immersive indeed.
(Reminder, slavery/exploitation knows no colour.)
79% on metacritic is a travesty. I know the type of game it is not for everyone and some crazy reviews gave it 4/10. But anyone who enjoys story in games knows this is one of best games of the year so far, if not the best.
I beat the game and I already miss the characters, I know it's an open ended game but I wish they would find a way to make a sequel.
Good to hear.
And it is possible to run PhysX off of the CPU. That is how you run it on AMD platforms.
Interesting.
Aren't they also responsible for some of the technology that powers Gaikai's fast streaming service?

It's a lot of support for a company that doesn't have any hardware in either of the new boxes, or do they, I could be wrong about this :S
Only way I see this being relevant is if the 720 utilizes a dedicated physx processor... that would be one way of standing out.
