Horizon: Zero Dawn Screens Make Me Tingle (Violently)

One of the most impressive showings at the PlayStation E3 presser was Guerilla Games’ brand new IP Horzion: Zero Dawn. It has two names because it was twice as amazing as any game shown all E3 long.

It’s a gorgeous third-person action game set in an unbelievable open-world unlike any we’ve seen in many years. It harkens back to the originality of Sony’s first-party games back in the PS2 era. Definitely one I’ll be tracking the closer we get to playing it ourselves. (How can you not salivate over robot dinosaurs? I mean, really?) 

I guess it’s safe to say I main Sub-Zero.

Ninja Theory’s ‘AAA Indie’ Hellblade Gets a New Trailer

Taking root in real world history, the PS4 and PC third-person adventure follows a Celtic warrior battling her own psychosis, having been left mentally scarred by a viking invasion.

From the trailer, it’s easy to mistake this as a big budget actioner developed by a hundred person team. In actuality, Ninja Theory has only 15 developers working on the game. The ideology behind production is one NT calls “Independent AAA” – in other words, a title made with all the freedoms an indie dev would enjoy except benefiting from AAA production values.

NT’s Chief Creative Director, Tameem Antoniades, explains, “Digital self-publishing means that we can offer a smaller, but high quality game at around half the price of retail games.” It’s essentially the Robert Rodriguez approach to filmmaking applied to the gaming arena. Rodriguez, if you’re unfamiliar, was once described as capable of making a $40 million movie look like a $100 million.

PS4 Screenshots Not Uploading?

Don’t suffer that shit like I did. Granted, I thought a bug in an update stripped me of my ability to share screenshots and the like to Twitter, so I waited until, hopefully, Sony would resolve the issue.

But my ‘Sit Back and Do Nothing’ procedure incurred no change. Turns out, it’s no bug. It’s just an overstuffed backlog of notifications.

If you, too, aren’t able to upload your brilliant snapshots and videos, here’s your first line of action:

1. Go to Notifications from the Dashboard

2. Scroll down to Uploads

3. Press the ‘Options’ button on your controller and manually delete all of those notifications clogging up your console.

The hell if I know why this works or why letting the notifications go unmaintained prevents you from using the Upload feature altogether (maybe it is a bug). But hope it helps you folks up there that haven’t been able to inundate your friends’ Facebook feeds with Fatality screenshots. Your aunt needs to witness a spunky blonde girl pistol whip a man’s jaw off.
