  • Epic Expands Competitive PC Online Catalogue with Acquisition of Rocket League Developer Psyonix
    Publication date: 07 May 2019 Author: Louise Shorthouse, Ph.D. Research Analyst I, Games and Apps Epic expands competitive PC online catalogue with acquisition of Rocket League developer Psyonix Brought to you by Informa Tech Epic expands competitive PC online catalogue 1 with acquisition of Rocket League developer Psyonix Industry giant Epic Games has announced that it’s in the process of acquiring San Diego-based studio Psyonix, who develops the very popular vehicular-soccer game Rocket League. The title is one of the biggest cross-platform games that are available on all major platforms, second only to Epic’s Fortnite, and with more than 57 million lifetime players it represents the company’s most significant acquisition to date. Furthering Epic’s developer-centric vision for the future of PC gaming? Epic Games has been aggressively pursuing exclusive game content for its PC games store, with AAA titles such as Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 already listed, plus World War Z and Borderlands 3 in the pipeline. The acquisition of Psyonix initially appeared to be a significant move in Epic’s on-going battle to persuade Steam to commit to a permanent 88% revenue share for developers and publishers. Epic-exclusivity for Rocket League would represent a significant loss for Steam, and further fuel existing market tensions. However, despite initial indications that Rocket League would cease to be available on Steam following its release on the Epic Games Store, the company later clarified that no plans regarding the sale of the game on Steam had been finalised. The future of the title on Steam therefore remains to be seen.

PS4 will be available this holiday season. Gamer Focused, Developer Inspired PS4 was designed from the ground up to ensure that the very best games and the most immersive experiences reach PlayStation gamers. PS4 accomplishes this by enabling the greatest game developers in the world to unlock their creativity and push the boundaries of play through a system that is tuned specifically to their needs. PS4 also fluidly connects players to the larger world of experiences offered by PlayStation, across the console and mobile spaces, and PlayStation® Network (PSN). The PS4 system architecture is distinguished by its high performance and ease of development. PS4 is centered around a powerful custom chip that contains eight x86-64 cores and a state of the art graphics processor. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has been enhanced in a number of ways, principally to allow for easier use of the GPU for general purpose computing (GPGPU) such as physics simulation.

  • A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing Through 60 Years of Sports Video Games
    EXHIBITION OVERVIEW A Whole Different Ball Game: Playing through 60 Years of Sports Video Games Exhibition dates: September 14, 2018–March 10, 2019 Location: Museum of the Moving Image, 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria (Queens), NY 11106 Summary: Ever since the first video game, Tennis for Two, debuted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory’s public exhibition in 1958, video games have sought to recreate, adapt, and build upon the games Americans most regularly encounter: sports. A Whole Different Ball Game presents a selection of 44 playable sports video games spanning the last six decades, examining the complex relationships between game, sport, media, and culture. The exhibition considers what it means for full-body sports to be transposed to screens and controllers in the service of realism, who is or is not represented in sports video games, the ways broadcast sports and video games reflect one another, and the primacy of statistics in professional sports and sports simulators. Contents: The exhibition is organized in seven sections (see below for details and game list) plus a new video installation, an interactive experience, and a video screening area with bleachers. There are 44 playable games, including hand-held devices, arcade games, console and PC games played on monitors and wall projections. Additional games that are not playable are included for historical context. In addition, there is video content in the exhibition for documentation of game play and comparison to televised sports. Curators: Curator of Digital Media Jason Eppink and John Sharp (Associate Professor in the School of Art, Media, and Technology at Parsons School of Design at The New School).

The good vibes and learning points from the PEGI Congress in November 2010 were taken along into the new year and put to good use. PEGI is well established as the standard system for the “traditional” boxed game market as a trusted source of information for parents and other consumers. We have almost reached the point where PEGI is only unknown to parents if they deliberately choose to ignore video games entirely. A mistake, since practically every child or teenager in Europe enjoys video games. Promoting an active parental involvement in the gaming experiences of their children is a primary objective for PEGI, which situates itself at the heart of that.
