PS4’s Dreams Could Migrate To PS5 In The Future

The PlayStation 4 exclusive Dreams, which is finally out after an extensive Early Access period, may make the jump to Sony’s next-gen PlayStation 5 at some point, according to developer Media Molecule.

At a recent London event celebrating the game’s launch, Media Molecule co-founder Mark Healey said PS4 is where Dreams resides for now but PS5 isn’t out of the question. It all depends on success and popularity.

“Obviously at the moment we’re focused on PS4 and I would actually hope that it extends the life of the PS4 to be honest with you,” Healey told Video Games Chronicle. “Then maybe when other companies start making games for it, the community will carry on making games for it, but if it’s as successful as we hope it is then it’s an obvious progression.”

Healey continued: “You know, it’s a platform, so ideally in the future we’ll migrate to whatever is relevant. That’s probably about as much as I can say without getting smacked by someone.”

It’s unclear how long Media Molecule plans to wait before considering porting Dreams to PlayStation 5, but Sony’s next-gen console arrives this holiday season.

Activision GeForce Now Issue Was Due To “Misunderstanding” Says Nvidia

When Nvidia abruptly pulled support for the entire library of Activision Blizzard games on its GeForce Now streaming service, it offered little explanation other than casting blame towards the publisher. Nvidia has now provided a more detailed and softer explanation, chalking it up to a simple misunderstanding.

Bloomberg reports that since Activision had participated in the beta test, Nvidia mistakenly thought the agreement extended into the free trial period for founders. The issue came up because Activision wanted a new commercial agreement for the general public launch, the company said.

“Activision Blizzard has been a fantastic partner during the GeForce Now beta, which we took to include the free trial period for our founders membership,” Nvidia said in a statement. “Recognizing the misunderstanding, we removed their games from our service, with hope we can work with them to re-enable these, and more, in the future.”

The statement casts light on what happened to prompt the issue, but notably doesn’t lay out details on when we can expect the library to return.

That means that games published by Activision Blizzard, including Overwatch, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and World of Warcraft, will no longer be playable via the streaming tech. Customers who have purchased the games will still have access to them, however.

GeForce Now is one of a handful of game streaming options to enter the market lately, which includes competitors like Google Stadia and Microsoft Project xCloud, which recently opened (and filled) its iOS test preview.

Netflix’s Animated He-Man Show Has An Amazing Cast, Including Mark Hamill As Skeletor

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is one of the most fondly remembered animated shows of the 1980s. It was originally launched to promote a line of toys, but ended up being a huge hit in its own right. The animated reboot Masters of the Universe: Revelations is on the way from Netflix and Mattel Television, and now the cast has been announced.

Clerks director and pop culture personality Kevin Smith is the showrunner, and the series will continue the adventures of He-Man and his friends on the planet of Eternia, decades after we last saw them. In terms of the cast, there are some seriously impressive names involved. The highest profile actor is Star Wars icon Mark Hamill, who will voice the villainous Skeletor. Hamill previously voiced Joker in the classic ’90s Batman animated series and Chucky in last year’s Child’s Play reboot, so this is another classic villain to add to his resumé.

The cast also includes Chris Wood (Supergirl) as He-Man, Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) as Evil-Lyn, Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) as Tee-La, Stephen Root (Barry) as Cringer, and Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones) as Man-At-Arms. Other intriguing cast members include punk icon Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops and Candyman star Tony Todd as Scare Glow. Check out the full cast below:

In a statement, Smith said: “I cannot believe the lineup of talent I get to play with. The incredible, star-studded cast that Mattel’s Rob David and Netflix’s Ted Biaselli assembled for our Masters of the Universe series will let any lifelong He-Man fan know we’re treating this cartoon seriously and honoring the legendary world of Eternia with A-list talent.

“Chris, Sarah, Mark, Lena and the other amazing actors and actresses have given performances so powerful and real in a show that features a talking giant green tiger. With these fantastic performers behind our characters, it’ll be crazy easy to immerse yourself in the swords and sorcery of our epic sci-fi soap opera.”

Netflix has not yet announced a release date for Masters of the Universe: Revelation. The company previously released four seasons of the rebooted spin-off She-Ra: Princess of Power and is also working on a new CG animated He-Man show, once again alongside Mattel Television.

As for the long-in-development live-action Masters of the Universe movie, until recently that had a 2021 release date. But although it has now been removed from Sony’s schedule, actor Noah Centineo recently suggested it would begin production later this year.

Shenmue 3 DLC Pack Features A Familiar Face

Shenmue 3 finally released in 2019 after years of waiting and delays, but the game isn’t done just yet. A Story Quest Pack DLC will be available next week, and it brings back a classic character.

Available on February 18 for $6 via the PlayStation Store and Epic Games Store, the Story Quest Pack DLC is also available as part of the Complete DLC Collection pack. The story features Zhang Shugin from Shenmue 2, who is shown in the pack’s promotional screenshots to have the exact same haircut and wide grin as before.

Shenmue 3 is a love letter to the original two games, and despite its new coat of paint, it contains many of the same mechanics as its predecessors. That comes with its perks for fans, but it also means the gameplay hasn’t evolved in significant ways. In GameSpot’s Shenmue 3 review, Heidi Kemps found the combat particularly frustrating, though the game still oozes charm.

Shenmue 3 was first announced back at E3 2015 with a Kickstarter campaign. By the time funding wrapped, it had received more than $6 million in donations, but missed its target release date by almost two years.

Late is better than never, however, and the user review score for the game on GameStop sister site Metacritic suggests fans are pleased with what they got in the end. It’s available now on PS4 and PC, and remastered versions of the first two games are available on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.

Is Wolcen: Lords Of Mayhem Coming To PS4 And Xbox?

After a four-year run in Steam Early Access, Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem is out now. The Diablo-like isometric action RPG, originally called Umbra, was Kickstarted back in 2015, raising over $406,000. Developer Wolcen Studio described Wolcen’s launch as “the end of a long journey” and “the beginning of a new adventure.” According to the team’s announcement post, their goal is to support Wolcen “for a very long time,” with new features, content, and fixes based on community feedback. One question the community has seemed to ask over and over is whether or not Wolcen will come to PS4, Xbox, or even Switch. While the developers don’t have a definitive answer regarding a console release, they do have an interest.

According to Wolcen Studio on Twitter, there is “no ETA” for a console version of Wolcen, as the team has been hard at work on the PC version for several years. However, the devs have said a few times that they would like to work on a console version if the PC version is successful.

Wolcen’s launch saw such a massive spike in new players that it led to server and progression issues, which the developers are preparing to push a hotfix for. Issues aside, the numbers are a good sign–as of writing, Wolcen has peaked at over 90,000 concurrent players, placing it in Steam’s top 10 games by player count for the day, under giants like Dota 2, GTA5, and Rainbow Six Siege. According to Wolcen Studio’s most recent Steam post, its highest peak before this was just 1,934. Steamspy puts current owners between 200,000 to 500,000.

If Wolcen continues to see success, players may get that console version one day. But for now, the developers have only expressed an interest–no actual plans have been announced. You can purchase Wolcen on Steam for $40 or grab the soundtrack bundle for 10% off.
