Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

As one of the hardest demo appointments to get into at Summer Game Fest's Play Days, we were excited to get hands-on with a quick thirty-minute demonstration of Phantom Blade Zero. Hardcore action titles such as this can have such a different vibe between watching someone else play the game during an online stream versus being able to pick up a controller and play for yourself. It was during Summer Game Fest 2024 that we finally got a brief taste of the Wuxia action players can look forward to in Phantom Blade Zero, a title that needs no introduction nor […]
FromSoftware's president Hidetaka Miyazaki is not opposed to the release of a Bloodborne PC port, but it seems like the ball is in Sony's court for it to happen, judging from some recent statements. Speaking with PC Gamer about the PlayStation 4 exclusive action role-playing game developed in conjunction with the now-defunct Sony Japan Studio, Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed that other people at FromSoftware, such as producer Yasuhiro Kitao, would want a PC port. He added that he would get in trouble if he said he wanted it as well, but he is not opposed to it. Elaborating further, he added […]
For years now, Bloodborne fans have wanted the popular PS4-exclusive RPG ported to PC, hopefully with performance improvements and graphical options. And while FromSoftware’s president Hidetaka Miyazaki didn’t confirm that such a port is happening, he ...
Fittingly, Bandai Namco invited Wccftech and a number of other global journalists out to experience an exclusive hands-on with the upcoming DLC expansion for 2022’s Game of the Year, Elden Ring. The venue of choice was a cemetery in sunny Southern California and after a brief bus ride through Hollywood and passing by rows of elaborate tombstones and a live peacock enclosure, we were greeted by a choir quartet and a life-sized statue of Miquella’s Egg taken straight from Mohgwyn Palace. It’s here that Bandai Namco graciously lets us sit down for the first two hours of the upcoming Shadow […]
The team at FromSoftware is really good at making the most fucked-up creatures imaginable. Some of the stuff that team has fit into its games are utter nightmares ripped out of the deep dark recesses of the human mind. Parts of its catalog, like Bloodb...
Despite having been released almost ten years ago, Bloodborne still hides some interesting secrets that highlight how the PlayStation 4 hardware impacted several aspects of the game. As detailed by a very interesting video shared a few days ago by Lance McDonald on YouTube, a well-known hacker who released the game's unofficial 60 FPS patch, the game's level design was impacted by the PlayStation 4 hardware limitation. In the game's network test and early alpha versions, after defeating Father Gascoigne, the hunter could reach Oedon Chapel by going through a nondescript area, which was later improved with additional props and […]
After a brief pit stop to repair the tires Sony’s lawyers popped, the PS1-style racer Bloodborne Kart has returned with a new name and release date. While all the direct references to FromSoftware’s 2015 action RPG have been removed, the game still car...
2015’s Bloodborne continues to be one of the most beloved FromSoftware titles, thanks to its cosmic horror twist on the Soulslike genre. But it’s never gotten a sequel, remaster, or remake, despite the fact that fans have been clamoring for anything Bl...
Bloodborne sickos, rejoice! While discussing the upcoming Elden Ring expansion, Shadows of the Erdtree, with Eurogamer, FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki spoke about how much the team values the beloved title and outlined what he believes makes ...
There’s almost never any Bloodborne news. Whenever the game does get talked about online, it’s either copium or hopium as fans of FromSoftware’s gothic Soulslike chomp at the bit for a remake or remaster of the 2015 action RPG. While no such thing is i...
While the big three console makers will sometimes crow about sales when it suits them, getting exact sales numbers out of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo is difficult. That said, thanks to the huge Insomniac Games ransomware leak, which has revealed the studio’s lineup for the next decade and much more, we now have solid sales figures for PlayStation up until approximately a couple of years ago. The document, which was uncovered and shared on the ResetEra forums, offers very in-depth figures for Sony’s entire PS4 catalog, as well as PS5 games up until around the end of 2021 or very […]
I would say Lies of P is one of the games that came out this year that surprised a lot of people. A Soulsborne game inspired by Carlo Collodi's novel The Adventures of Pinocchio, it managed to surprise a lot of people with its great setting, surprisingly fun combat, and challenge, which is something that we have come to expect from the genre it is based on. The game received generally positive reviews across the board, and now, Apple has awarded it with the Mac Game of the Year award during its 2023 App Store Awards. Bloodborne-inspired Lies of P deserves […]
