Katherine, from the PS3 game Catherine.

Catherine Is Now Available on Sony’s PlayStation Now Service

Sony has recently announced 25 games that will be joining the PlayStation Now service, and the list includes the puzzle platform game Catherine from Atlus. Catherine is a rather unique game, and was one of the rare games that was oriented towards adults not just because of its (ultimately tame) suggestive themes. but rather its characters and setting. The game was arguably somewhat of a social experiment, exploring where the players stands on topics regarding marriage and commitment, which are rarely explored in video games. If you haven’t played the game yet, I recommend giving it a try if you get the chance.

If you’re wondering what PlayStation Now actually is, it’s comparable to streaming services like Netflix, but for PS3 games. Instead of using a local console, the actual game is being processed on a remote server. All you need is a fast Internet connection, a Dualshock controller, and a device compatible with the service. Subscribing to PlayStation Now, or paying on a per-game basis, allows you to stream PS3 games to various devices, including the PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Samsung and Sony TVs. Aside from Catherine from Atlus, a number of SEGA games are also available on the service. We compiled the list of games for the US here:

Yakuza 6 Demo

Upcoming Yakuza 6 Demo Will Allow You to Transfer over Save Data to Full Game

SEGA has announced that they’ll be releasing a demo for Yakuza 6 in Japan which will allow people to play the first chapter of the game. You’ll also be able to visit some of the play spots in the game. In addition, the demo will allow you to transfer the save game data over to the final game when it’s released on December 8, 2016.

It’s interesting to see SEGA release more demos of their PS4 games in recent times (Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live, Valkyria: Azure Revolution and Yakuza 6), as it’s a practice that had all but disappeared in recent times.

Rez Infinite 4K - Screenshot 1

Rez Infinite: Details on PlayStation 4 Pro Support and New 4K Screenshots

The official Sony PlayStation blog has posted a new article, written by the President and CEO of Enhance Games, Tetsuya Mizuguchi. In the article, Mizuguchi talks about the benefits of playing Rez Infinite on the upcoming PlayStation 4 Pro. Rez Infinite will take advantage of the increased performance offered by the PlayStation 4 Pro at the system’s launch, but what sets it apart is the fact that it will run at a native 4K resolution. Most games offering PlayStation 4 Pro support have resorted to a technique called “checkerboarding” to reach a 4K resolution output, rather than rendering the game at 4K natively. Rez Infinite on the other hand won’t use upscaling and instead renders a 4K resolution directly.

Project DIVA Future Tone 20160608 - 6

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone Rated in Germany

In a recent article, Gematsu points out that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone has received a rating by the USK, the organization that rates video games in Germany. This suggests that the game will likely be released in Europe and presumably also the Americas. The rhythm game was previously released in Japan as a digital download only, where it offered no less than 220 songs (if you bought both of the DLC packs). As such, it offers a lot more value for money than any of the Project DIVA games that came before it, at least to those who primarily play the rhythm game

Interestingly, the publisher is listed as Atlus U.S.A. rather than SEGA Europe. Until now, SEGA Europe was still listed as the publisher for digital games from Sega of America, such as Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live. It looks like they may not be involved this time. Previously, Deep Silver already took over publishing duties in Europe for the physical games from Sega of America. It should be noted that there’s no official confirmation yet from Sega of America that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone will be released in the West, but as always we’ll let you know as soon as we have any more information to share!

Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live 2nd Stage Gameplay Video

SEGA of Japan has posted a new Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live gameplay video, featuring the song Shake It! from the 2nd Stage DLC that will be released on November 10 in Japan. The 2nd Stage introduces the characters Lin and Ren to the game (the 1st Stage only featured Hatsune Miku). Aside from that, nothing new was shown in terms of gameplay, so for now it appears the new Stage will only add more songs, characters and modules to the game.  You can view the video below! As for the West, the release date of the 2nd Stage hasn’t been announced yet.
