PS This is Awesome: Episode 361Fred is almost finished with Final Fantasy XVI, while Jake just wrapped up Trepang 2! Now he's on the hunt for his next big AAA adventure. If you have suggestions, let him know!In this episode, we're diving into The Future of PlayStation. We reflect on how Sony has shaped the gaming landscape over the years, from introducing 3D graphics and CD-quality sound in 1994 to championing indie developers and story-driven single-player games. We explore key innovations like the DualShock controller, Blu-ray integration, and the rise of online services with the PS4.As for the future, what's next for PlayStation? Cloud gaming is gaining ground, but with live service games faltering, Sony might need to rethink its strategy. Could we see a move toward Early Access, more PC integration, or a resurgence of multiplayer modes in single-player games? Plus, we speculate about which franchises and studios—like Naughty Dog and Uncharted—should lead the charge.In news, the rumored State of Play in February has us wondering what surprises are in store. Meanwhile, Arken Age is out now on PSVR2, earning high praise for its combat despite some story critiques. The Until Dawn movie just dropped its first trailer, and it looks promising! On a bittersweet note, Sony canceled Bluepoint's live-service God of War project and Bend Studio's new title, but both studios remain intact.Finally, PlayStation Blog shared its top 10 platformers available on PS Plus, including classics like Jak and Daxter, Ape Escape, and Celeste.

Astro Bot er et af årets bedst anmeldte spil, men fortjener det al rosen? Astro Bot er et platformspil udviklet af japanske Team Asobi og udgivet af Sony Interactive Entertainment, eksklusivt til PlayStation 5. Spillet er lavet i forbindelse med PlayStations 30-års jubilæum, og Astro Bot, der nærmest er PlayStations nye uofficielle maskot, er oplagt til at hylde Sonys konsol. Figuren lever nemlig inde i en PlayStation, og plottet i spillet går ud på, at et grønt rumvæsen angriber og ødelægger PlayStation-konsollen, og det er nu op til Astro Bot at samle maskinen igen, alt imens den går gennem baner baseret på ikoniske PlayStation-universer. Team Asobi blev grundlagt i 2012, og Astro Bot-figuren så første gang dagens lys i 2013 i The Playroom til PlayStation 4. The Playroom var ikke som sådan et spil, men mere en demonstration af PlayStation 4's kamera og DualShock 4-controller. Faktisk er Astro Bot primært blevet brugt til at demonstrere Sonys nyeste hardware, men i 2020 udkom Astro's Playroom, et lille spil, som fulgte gratis med til din PlayStation 5, og som havde til opgave at demonstrere den nye DualSense-controller. Astro's Playroom blev ret godt modtaget, og nu har Team Asobi endelig fået chancen for at se, hvad deres Astro Bot-univers egentlig kan i et konkret spil, der bygger videre på alt, hvad de har lært. Men lykkedes det, eller bliver spillets konstante selvhøjtidelige og selvsmagende referencer til PlayStation for meget? Alt det og meget mere skal vi finde ud af nu. I denne episode medvirker Jørgen Bjørn, Michael Engelbreth, Lasse Rasmussen, Janus Hasseriis og Morten Urup. Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

EYE on NPI: Vybronics' Rectangular LRA Vibration Motor

This week's EYE ON NPI passes the vibe check - it's Vybronics' Rectangular LRA Vibration Motor (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/v/vybronics/rectangular-lra-vibration-motor) and friends - a series of linear resonant actuators, AKA LRA, used to create vibration/haptic feedback. Haptics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haptic_technology) were first used in airplanes - where originally there was a mechanical connection between the pilot controls and the plane steering. That is, when turning or tilting the yoke, it would mechanically control any flaps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_control_system). However, that means that the pilot would have to be strong enough to move the flaps while also keeping track of all the different controls needed - a recipe for disaster because a tired or confused pilot could make a catastrophic mistake! So, instead, the control of aircraft turned to hydro-mechanical and then servo-electrical. You might see the same on modern cars: instead of the steering wheel directly controlling the tire angle, it now send a signal that is interpreted by motors that do the actual movement, also known as Drive by wire. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_by_wire) The trade-off with drive or fly-by-wire is that there's less need for strength and speed by the person in the cockpit - but they do lose the mechanical feedback that would normally be fed back through the mechanical linkages. That feedback is important because it allows you to feel when something might be blocking or fighting against the motion - in planes you can tell the airspeed and the craft's stress level. Sure you can put this information in a gauge of some sort but it requires the operator to look and interpret a number when the feeling is more intuitive. Thus the invention of force feedback or...haptics! Haptics have been tirelessly used in automotive and aircraft for decades, when in the 90's they had a bit of a resurgence as part of VR interfaces. If you're in a 3D rendered virtual world, you want to feel when you bumped into something or grabbed an item successfully. For gaming, an early form of 'play by wire' we've moved from the 1994 Aura Interactor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_Interactor) to being included in almost every game controller, like the 1997-released N64 Rumble Pak (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_Pak) and Playstation DualShock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DualShock) as vibrational feedback when moving or taking damage. Mobile devices are also big users of haptic feedback - originally as vibration alert for 'silent mode' - but now also for typing and UX feedback. For vibration feedback, a basic ERM motor such as the Vybronics VZ43FC1B5640007L (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vybronics-inc/VZ43FC1B5640007L/12323649) will do fine - turn it on to cause a vibration that can be detected even when the phone is in a bag or pocket. But if you want to have 'sharper' feedback, these ERMs aren't as good because they take time to turn on and get up to speed. So they're good for big motion but not quick motion. That's when you want to use LRAs - Linear Resonant Actuators. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/v/vybronics/rectangular-lra-vibration-motor) Vybronics makes a wide range of LRA vibration motors (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/jinlong-machinery) in addition to their wide range or ERM's. You can select from different sizes - larger ones will of course have a stronger feedback response, but will require more energy and size. ERM's are really easy to drive: provide a positive DC voltage and the motor starts moving. LRA's are harder to control, you will need an AC waveform to kick-start the resonant motion. (https://www.vybronics.com/lra-assembly-drawing) Our favorite driver is the TI DRV2605 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/DRV2605LDGSR/5014144) which we even have a breakout board (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/2305/5356831) to make it easy to connect up to a Vybronics LRA. The DRV2605 even comes with a wide range of built-in waveform actions (https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/drv2605.pdf) to make integration very easy. Vybronics also has some examples of how to mount their motors with PCB contacts to allow the motor to vibrate within a cavity.(https://www.vybronics.com/mounting-with-spring-contacts) Vybronics' Rectangular LRA Vibration Motors such as the VLV152564W (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/vybronics-inc/VLV152564W/19203005) will make the vibe right in your product that requires tactile haptic feedback to improve your user experience. With their small cases and high strength, they'll turn glass touchscreens and capacitive touch buttons into something that feels like a mechanical control surface. Order today and DigiKey will ship your motor instantly so that you can be tick-tack-bzzt'ing your way to a haptic cyber-future by tomorrow afternoon.

It's been a good couple of years since Felipe was on the show, but he's finally back with a vengeance as we tackle 2 distinct topics.  First, Felipe enlightens John with insight on the skateboarding boom of the 2000s and the wild ride it's been for longtime pro Chad Muska in particular, as told in an entertaining documentary that you can legally watch for free on Vice's YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/3JFihjEWU3c After that, the meat of the episode is a deep dive into not a game series, not a game genre, but a particular game console that crossed the 20-year mark this decade: Sony's legendary PlayStation 2.  A formative system for many series and genres, a huge leap for 3D console gaming, and of course a trusty DVD player during that boom, this system means a lot to us even today in various ways.  Topics include notable platformer games, John's take on why this period was the peak of AAA gaming creativity, and Felipe's enduring love of the DualShock 2 as a fighting game controller.

EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/rtg Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!   Ape Escape is one of those games I've been hearing about since before I started this show. It shows up on every "Best PlayStation Games" list out there, and a lot of people seem to have a really soft spot for it from back in the day. I never played it when it released, and I was chapped when it didn't make the cut on the PlayStation Classic because I've always wanted to see what all the hype is about.    Well, now I have. And while yeah, it is kind of a giant tech demo for the DualShock analog sticks, it's also just a really charming little game. You travel from location to location hunting down apes (that are fucking hilarious) and every once and a while you race this kid through weird futuristic obstacle courses, and really isn't that al we want in our games?   My buddy Keegs is one of those "grew up loving this game" kids, and he gave me a call to talk about Spikde, Spector, shitty Jake, and our adventures hunting escaped apes. We're finally talking Ape Escape, and RTG is better because of it.   And before we catch apes, I slap together another edition of the 'Remember The Game? Infamous Intro'!   This week, we talk about feeling out of touch with the younger gamers today. Someone asks my opinion on letting their kids play violent games. And I'm a huge fan of The Simpsons, but how does that translate into my comedy?   Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of the highest scoring PlayStation games on Metacritic: PaRappa The Rappa, Wipeout XL, and Syphon Filter.   Are you on social media? Of course you are.

Arrggh! A Video Game Podcast from The Waffling Taylors

Remember that you can always get in touch with us on our Discord server, Facebook page, on Twitter, or with our Contact page.We were joined by Raina of The Ancient's Den this week. Raina has recently released an HD mod for the Dreamcast version of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and it's bloody impressive. We talk zombie feeding simulators, the entire Legacy of Kain series, and about Raina's favourite controllersHere's a sample of the full show notes - make sure to click through and check them out.Content WarningBecause we're talking about some of the entries in the Legacy of Kain series - a series of games about vampires going around and doing what vampires do - we'd recommend that you skip this one if you have little ones listening, or are in a space where listening would be inappropriate.Please listen responsibly.Show NotesThis week's episode starts with Squidge in the Nosgoth underworld... or was it Brighton?But before long, the boys where joined by Raina of The Ancient's Den, the person behind the Soul Reaver HD Mod, and all-round amazing person.And Raina takes us back in time to the late '90s - gaming magazines, demo discs, and incorrectly spelt main characters - when bringing us up to speed about how they got involved with the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. This was a time of internet cafes - remember them? - and floppy disks - remember THEM?! - and before widespread use of email.Jay also shares a story of him playing around with the MP3 encoder on his home computer so that he could MAYBE load a single MP3 onto a single floppy disk.I would go down to the library with a stack of floppy disks, which was my music library... I would swap disks after each song.- JayAnd Squidge tells us that he first played Resident Evil 2 as a 9 year old.I was so bad at playing it, I thought that it was a zombie feeding simulator.-SquidgeBefore we could talk about the HD mod, Jay asked Raina to...Get Control of YourselfThis is a segment that we like to do every so often, which is based on a tweet from SinceSpacies - who is an absolutely amazing person, by the way. Seriously, go follow him on TwitterGet a control of yourself!!!!!! What's been your most fav controller of all time…(and what controller bites the big one?)- SinceSpaciesThe idea here is that we want to know which is the best and which is the worst controller of all time.Raina's Worst ControllerRaina chose the Xbox 360 controller.The controller is really big and bulky, and it uses batteries... come on!- RainaRaina also dislikes the Dreamcast controller:Not for anything other than the missing features. So with Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, they had to break the controls to make it work.- RainaRaina's Best ControllerThe dual sense really surprised me... You can really feel the rope as your character climbs down, and you can feel tension when you pull an arrow.- RainaAnd both Raina and Squidge agree that the PlayStation controllers from DualShock on-wards are fantastic for FPS games:I don't know whether it's because the analogue sticks are on the same level.- SquidgeThe HD ModRaina describes the origins of the mod by taking us back in time to the release of the original Legacy of Kain on Dreamcast:They literally had three months to create the port, and that's not a lot of time- RainaStrangely enough, during the process of porting to Dreamcast, the graphical assets were reduced by quite a lot - meaning that the "inferior" release on the PlayStation TECHNICALLY has better graphics than the Dreamcast version.They didn't have a lot of time, so I don't blame them.- RainaAnd Raina is calling this a "remaster" (or sorts) as the mod contains MUCH higher resolution textures which are swapped out, at runtime, by the Flycast emulator for Dreamcast.You should certainly take a look at the comparison screenshots on the project's website here: https://www.sr1hdremaster.com/screenshotsFull Show NotesMake sure to check out the full show notes for more discussion on the points we raise, some extra meta-analysis, and some links to related things.Have you ever visited the land of Nosgoth? If so, which Legacy of Kain games have you played, and why is Soul Reaver the best one? Have you tried out Raina's HD mod for Soul Reaver?

Episode Notes We're back! We had a really long and fruitful discussion this time. I think we really explored some interesting material, and came to some particularly thoughtful conclusions. We are very much, in a sense, a new type of scholar, delving deep into things others thought played out and discovering rich new veins of ideas to engage with. Lair is an action-adventure video game developed by Factor 5 and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 3 in August 2007 in North America. In Lair, the world is filled with deadly volcanoes, which  devastated the world's natural resources and air. It led the native  people to split into two warring nations: the poor Mokai, and the  well-off Asylia. The story revolves around Rohn Partridge, an Asylia Sky  Guard, who eventually turned to support the Mokai. Most of the game's  battles are air-based combat, with some fought on the ground by landing  the dragon and fighting troops and other land-based creatures. A morale  system is also present, in which enemies may retreat if they suffer from  low morale. Lair is the first PlayStation 3 title to have been fully playable via the Remote Play function, allowing it to be accessed through the Internet on a PlayStation Portable.  An English demo was released for Asian countries except for Japan,  prior to the game's release. The game's soundtrack was composed by John Debney. Lair received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising the game's  visuals and art direction, while criticizing its control scheme. Sony  released a reviewer guide to teach reviewers how to properly review the  game. Analog stick support and DualShock 3 controller support were later introduced to the game.  It was Factor 5's last game developed before its closure in May 2009. Gameplay The player assumes the role of a dragon-riding knight named Rohn  Partridge. Rohn is given the tasks of defending a certain area,  destroying certain objects, eliminating enemies or creatures, and other  mission-based objectives. After each stage, the player can earn either  gold, silver, or bronze medals, depending on performance during the  level. A platinum medal is also available, though unlike the other three  its requirements are hidden. Earning medals assists in unlocking combos  and behind-the-scenes videos. Most of the game's battles are air-based combat, with some fought  on the ground by landing the dragon and fighting troops and other  land-based creatures. In some locations, the game features a morale  system tied to the enemy; the lower an enemy's morale, the less he will  fight, and it is possible that he will retreat from combat. The game relies heavily on the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis motion controls. The player flies the dragon by tilting the controller,  with additional moves also using motion sensing; one such example is  fighting a dragon by tilting the controller to match the enemy dragon's  flying height, and then slamming the controller left or right to knock  the dragon sideways and out of the battle. Plot Lair  takes place in a world threatened by numerous emerging volcanoes,  causing much of the land to be destroyed and the air to be polluted. As  a result, people native to the world divided themselves into two  kingdoms: the Mokai, whose lands are arid and depleted of resources, and the seemingly noble Asylians, who live in one of the last remaining  bountiful, green areas. Desperate to gain the Asylians' land, the Mokai  attack the Asylians from the rear. The spiritual leader of the  Asylians, the Diviner, preaches that the Mokai are pagans and savages,  defying abominations to the will of God, but the Mokai are truly a  misunderstood people, hanging on to survival and only attacked the  Asylians out of desperation for food (their attacks focused on their  granaries). The game mainly revolves around the pursuits of Rohn, one of the  Burners (dragon-riders) Sky Guards (the air force-based military). At  first Rohn adopts the feeling of hatred towards the Mokai the Asylians  have but over the course of the story begins to have more sympathy  towards this misunderstood people. The leader of the Mokai, General Atta-Kai, approaches the  Guardians of Asylia (three individuals with ruling power in Asylia) in  peace to ensure the survival of both people. The Diviner, in an act to  maintain his power over his people, has Loden, one of the Asylia's Sky  Guards assassinate Atta-Kai, one of the guardians and the Sky Guard  Captain, Talan, prolonging the war between the two people and capturing  Atta-Kai's Blood Dragon in the process. After witnessing the  assassinations of both Atta-Kai and Captain Talan, Rohn begins having  second thoughts about Asylia's attitude towards the Mokai and releases  Atta-Kai's dragon from Loden, thus putting Rohn on thin ice with Loden,  the new captain of the Sky Guards. Loden leads a massive air strike on the Mokai City, bombing the  city and attacking what Loden thought to be an armory, but was actually a  temple where the women and children had sheltered themselves from the  attacks. Rohn is devastated when he discovers the victims and defies  Loden, who declares Rohn an enemy of Asylia and delivers near fatal  blows to both Rohn and Rohn's Plains Dragon. Rohn's dragon, in an  attempt to save Rohn's life, carries him into a desert in Mokai  territory but dies in the process from the wound Loden delivered. Rohn soon reunites with Atta-Kai's Blood Dragon, who adopts Rohn  as its new rider. While searching the desert for water, Rohn and the  dragon discover the elder of the Mokai, Ren-Kai, under attack from a  Spider Wasp, which the two slay. Ren reveals that some of the Mokai  managed to survive the bombings and are hiding out in the desert and  Rohn helps protect them from Asylian attacks. Ren, knowing that the  Mokai people need a new leader, asks Rohn to rescue General Atta-Kai's  son, Koba-Kai, who is imprisoned in Asylia. Both Rohn and Koba-Kai  defend the Mokai people from further attacks and acquire a small fleet  of Asylian ships. The Mokai launch an attack on the Asylians and reclaim  Mokai City. After the battle a group of Asylian Burners arrive and  submit themselves to the Mokai. Among them is Jevin, Rohn's best friend,  who informs Rohn that the remaining two Guardians were executed by the  Diviner and that some of the Sky Guard had defected from the Diviner's  rule over Asylia and were imprisoned in the Maelstrom (an Asylian prison  situated within a dimensional vortex). Knowing they would need reinforcements, Rohn and Koba-Kai lead an  attack on the Maelstrom to free the Burners imprisoned there. During  the rescue Rohn battles Loden, who rides a powerful species of  gorilla-like dragon called the Bull Dragon. Loden attempts to kill the  fleeing prisoners by flinging enormous boulders from the Maelstrom's  gravitational pull onto the prison but Rohn intervenes and kills Loden  and succeeds in rescuing the imprisoned burners. The combined forces of  Mokai and defected Burners charges towards Asylia, battle the Diviner's  forces, prevent the volcanoes from erupting and kill the Diviner. During  the battle Koba-Kai is shot down by the Diviner's forces. After the  battle Rohn finds him and Koba-Kai comments on how beautiful the sunsets  in Asylia are, Rohn goes on to say that the new world that the Asylians  and Mokai were to build together would never be the same, to which  Koba-Kai replied "Let us hope not," before dying. Rohn asks Atta-Kai's  Blood Dragon to carry Koba-Kai's body home, afterwards Ren approaches  Rohn and tells him that his people are waiting. Development Lair is the first PlayStation 3 title to have been fully playable via the Remote Play function, allowing it to be accessed through the Internet on a PlayStation Portable. Initially the game was not fully playable, as motion sensor controls  are not available on PSP.  The machine lacks L2 and R2 buttons and a  right analog stick, which are necessary to pass certain levels. With  recent firmware updates, the dragon may be controlled with the analog  nub and buttons can be assigned on the PSP to act as L2 and R2,  rendering Lair fully playable. On April 15, 2008, an update was released on the PlayStation Network,  adding analog stick support, extra playable dragons, and rumble support  for the DualShock 3 controller. The game now uses the directional pad  for actions such as the 180 degree turn and the "dash forward" ability. An English-language demo for Lair was made available to Asian markets only, excluding Japan, in April 2008. Even though the Lair Trial Version includes the gameplay patch, it is not compatible with the Remote Play function. The developers would later admit to a troubled development process many years later. Soundtrack John Debney was hired to write the soundtrack for Lair with Kevin Kaska composing the additional music. Debney has had experience writing music for epics, but Lair is his first video game soundtrack. The score was performed with a 90-piece orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London. Lair's soundtrack received critical acclaim, with some calling it "one of the strongest of video game scores." A review on Tracksounds gave the soundtrack a score of 10/10, the highest possible score. ScoreNotes.com also reviewed the soundtrack and gave it a full score. Several critics also compared the tracks to some of the works in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace by John Williams. Debney stated that he was interested in writing music for a video game after seeing the work in Medal of Honor by Michael Giacchino. The score was released as a limited edition 2 CD-set on April 8, 2014 by La-La Land Records.  Reception During development, Lair gained attention due to its graphical  presentation and developer Factor 5's reputation. However, upon  release, it was seen as a critical and commercial failure. It received  "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. The only reviewer that gave it a high score was Japan's Famitsu, which gave it a score of 9, 7, 8, 9 for a total of 33 out of 40. Although the game was praised for its graphics, artwork, storytelling,  soundtrack, and sound quality, it was also heavily criticized for its  control scheme. In 2010, GameTrailers placed the game 7th in their list of the "Top 10 Most Disappointing Games of the Decade". Sony (the game's publisher) attracted criticism from video game blogs by mailing review websites a "Lair Reviewer's Guide" following negative reviews of the game. It is common practice to post a fact sheet with review copies of a  game, but this guide was mailed separately, and after negative reviews  of the game had been published by the website. As well as providing a  21-page booklet containing artwork, background story, and six pages of  instructions regarding the game's control system, the booklet invited  reviewers to "Open your mind and hands for something very different."

What's happening? What's wrong with you? Do you realize what you're saying? Do you know who you're talking to? Snap out of it! Pull yourself together! Can you hear me? Welcome back to the podcast! For our second pocket episode for the very cohesive and not stupid in any way themed month of Ape-ril, we're going to be talking about Ape Escape. This is a Playstation 1 title that necessitates the use of the Dual-Shock analog controller. Which in the grand scheme of things doesn't necessarily sound all that important of a detail to focus on, but playing the game it becomes very clear that its purpose was really to showcase all of things that were possible by having multiple analog sticks (as well as the L3/R3 button concept), and does so in a really unique way. The control scheme of this game is actually really clever, with the face buttons used to switch between multiple gadgets that can be mapped by the player and all use the right stick to function, as well as having jump mapped to the R1 button to keep the stick always available to be used. It was certainly novel at the time, and since we live in a world now where every modern controller has multiple analog sticks, it's clear that the Dual Shock has had an impact with Ape Escape having at least a small part in introducing this concept to players. On top of that, the game is just solidly designed, having a lot of mechanical complexity and player abilities, but with a simple concept and mostly very tightly designed levels. This overall simplicity meant that the player can focus on using platforming, stealth, climbing and all of the different gadgets without sacrificing the flow of the level. We're going to be talking about the successes and failures of the novel control scheme, the legacy of the game and why it's worth playing, and our desire to see someone in a big foam Spike mascot costume. Thank you for joining us this week! This game wasn't an unknown quantity for us coming in, but we were still surprised by just how well this game held up, particularly in the face of some of the older games we've played recently. It really is an interesting title with a lot of good ideas that really haven't been iterated on much outside of its own series. Did this game introduce you to twin stick controllers? Did you have an equally smooth time playing this one in the modern era? Let us know down in the comments or over on our Discord! Next time we're leaving Ape-ril and entering into Mystery May (and then hopefully taking a fairly long break from themes) and we're going to be talking about Gemini Rue, so we hope you'll join us for that!
