Layoffs at Ready at Dawn, they made Lone Echo and its sequel. The latter of which was released to very little fanfare and wasn't' very well optimised, but was the last 'big' AAA PCVR release to occur and probably for VR in general until Horizon on PS5

 

 

 

Lone Echo 1 was cool but I never got good performance out of 2 and just never got into it. Lots of judder and reprojection. Unlikely but maybe Sony might have a AAA project that they are cooking up that some of these guys could land themselves in

Gematsu: Shantae 1 launches on PS4 & PS5 June 2nd

 

Quote

 

With the release of the original Shantae, the entire Shantae series will be available on PlayStation platforms for the first time.

 

The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 versions of Shantae are powered by Limited Run Games‘ Carbon Engine, retaining the graphics, sound, and gameplay of the game’s initial release, while adding features such as control options, save states, and visual filters.

 

Here is an overview of the game, via WayForward:

 

Originally released in 2002 on Game Boy Color, Shantae is the acclaimed nonlinear action adventure platformer that introduced the world to the eponymous hair-whipping, hip-shaking, shape-shifting Half-Genie heroine. Frequently cited as one of the most impressive handheld titles of its era, the game puts players to the test as Shantae seeks out four elemental stones across Sequin Land in order to stop the nefarious lady pirate, Risky Boots. During her quest, Shantae battles fiendish enemies, explores treacherous labyrinths, gains amazing new abilities, conquers mini-games, and encounters allies such as Rottytops, Sky, and Bolo. Alongside the standard GBC mode, this edition also includes the bonus Game Boy Advance functionality of the vintage cartridge (which adds an extra transformation and an alternative color palette).

 

With this release, the entire Shantae series (Shantae, Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition, and Shantae and the Seven Sirens; each sold separately) will be available on PlayStation systems for the very first time. The full Shantae series—including the original Shantae—is also currently available digitally on Switch.

 

Key Features

  • Shantae‘s acclaimed original 8-bit adventure—now on PlayStation systems.
  • Use dance magic to transform into a monkey, an elephant, a spider, and more.
  • Travel across Sequin Land, from forests and deserts to swamps and frigid peaks.
  • Explore challenging labyrinths where devious bosses await.
  • Buy a variety of items and upgrades to gain new abilities.
  • Environments change from day to night.
  • Discover secret passages! Find hidden Warp Squids and fireflies.
  • Select between standard Game Boy Color mode or Game Boy Advance-enhanced mode, featuring a bonus Tinkerbat transformation.
  • Updated with save states, multiple display options, control improvements, and a mini art gallery.

The October 2022 announcement of Silent Hill: Ascension, an interactive streaming series from Genvid Entertainment and Konami, raised some eyebrows from fans but provided little in the way of details. Today, Genvid broke its silence by not only giving us new details on the series but also a trailer.

 

In this series, which will unfold simultaneously across the globe, those watching can help decide the fates of Ascension's main characters. This means that as the story plays out, the audience will have a say in who survives the surely horrific story, who will be redeemed or damned by their actions, and who will suffer the almost certainly ghastly consequences. According to Genvid Entertainment, not even the developers will know the results of the story until it unfolds.

 

Silent Hill: Ascension features an ensemble of new characters, monsters, and locations within the Silent Hill universe. Genvid has crafted a real-time interactive system that allows viewers from around the world to decide these characters' fates within the narrative the studio has crafted. Beginning later in 2023, fans can tune in to live story moments where each day is different based on audience interactions. 

 

Silent Hill: Ascension is set to stream later this year. If this unique concept has piqued your interest, you can check out the reveal trailer below.
