Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and developer Acony Games have today announced Bullet Run, a new free-to-play online shooter for PC due for release ‘this Summer.’
Featuring persistent online elements and customisation at its core, Bullet Run is billed as a team-based multiplayer first-person shooter that is set apart by the conceit that players will be taking part in a reality TV game show (said to be “ultimate”) where contestants are tasked with demonstrating their aptitude for killing “in the name of fame.”
At El33tonline, we’ve been enthralled by the Uncharted series of action adventure games from Naughty Dog since the very first sampling as we embarked on high adventures, dangerous treasure hunts and epic journeys across the world in search of fortune. Not fame, so much.
So we’re extremely pleased to hear that the Uncharted series has collectively sold over 17 million units around the world with entries to the series including Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune in 2007, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves two years later, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception in 2011 and, more recently, Uncharted: Golden Abyss for PS Vita.
To celebrate this achievement, Sony Computer Entertainment has announced a Game of the Year Edition for Uncharted 3!
Sony Online Entertainment has just released a new holiday-themed event called ‘Season’s Greedings’ for their massively multiplayer online game, DC Universe Online.
Note: No, that’s not a spelling mistake, it really is called that. Carry on reading to find out why.
Sony Online Entertainment’s new squad based first-person shooter, PAYDAY: The Heist, is now available on the North American PlayStation Store for $19.99.
Sony Online Entertainment has announced the launch date for PAYDAY: The Heist, the publisher’s upcoming squad based first-person shooter.
PAYDAY: The Heist see players taking on the role of a “hardened career criminal pulling death-defying heists in the never-ending pursuit of the next big score.” The game features six dynamic heists based in various urban settings.
Sony Online Entertainment has released a batch of new screenshots as well as a new trailer for PAYDAY: The Heist, their upcoming competitive multiplayer shooter.
(Some) of you asked for it, and Sony Online Entertainment has acquiesced to your request: Planetside 2 has been formally announced to provide you with all of the first-person sci-fi massively multiplayer online action you can handle… and then some!
After releasing in 2003, the massively multiplayer online game Star Wars: Galaxies has long provided fans of the rich LucasArts property a place to live out their greatest fantasies in a galaxy far, far away, but the end of 2011 will see Sony Online Entertainment bring these adventures to an end with the closure of the game.
Sony Online Entertainment recently announced a new competitive multiplayer shooter by the name of PAYDAY: The Heist, which is billed as “a high-intensity squad-based first person shooter” where you’ll take on the role of a “hardened career criminal pulling death-defying heists in the never-ending pursuit of the next ‘big score.’”
In the wake of the still on-going PlayStation Network saga in which Sony Computer Entertainment’s online service has been taken down and personal user account information compromised, Sony has had to recently announce more bad news for those of you enjoying (or trying to enjoy) the range of games and services offered by Sony Online Entertainment (SOE).
Not only is it possible that nearly 25 million user accounts have been compromised on SOE’s service due to malicious attacks by cyber criminals, the company has announced that the entire service has also been taken offline in light of this new information.
Here’s what SOE had to say to its customers regarding the temporary service downtime and information theft:
Following rumours and reports across the internet recently, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has confirmed the closure of its development studios in Denver, Seattle and Tucson.
As a result, 205 employment positions at SOE have been made redundant while the long-in-development massively multiplayer online action game The Agency has been cancelled in order to “focus development resources on delivering two new MMOs based on its renowned PlanetSide and EverQuest properties, while also maintaining its current portfolio of online games.”
Are you ready for an “epic mash-up of brawling and building?” Excellent, because Slam Bolt Scrappers has just arrived on the US PlayStation Store.
Slam Bolt Scrappers sees players racing to combine coloured blocks into squares of the same colour. According to developer Fire Hose Games, you’ll need to “build big colored squares” which “form weapons that automatically attack your enemy’s tower.” Awesome!
In the wake of the El33tonline-attended PlayStation Experience event in London last week, new information has emerged regarding future themed content coming soon to DC Universe Online, while it was also revealed that new servers will soon be added to support players.
