By Griffin McElroy on Feb 22, 2013 02.22.13

European PlayStation Plus subscribers will have their Instant Game Collections expanded with five additional, free titles next month, PlayStation Blog announced this morning.

That means three other titles will be pushed out — if you haven't already grabbed Limbo, Vanquish and Sleeping Dogs for free, you might want to rectify that, as they'll disappear from the collection on March 6, as well. On March 13, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection — a bundle which includes remakes for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater — will be added to the collection for PS Vita, bumping out Wipeout 2048. Then, a week...

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Dec 14, 2012 12.14.12

Dead or Alive 5 creators took a 'lot of inspiration' from Naughty Dog

By Megan Farokhmanesh on Nov 11, 2012 11.11.12

Yosuke Hayashi, head of Team Ninja, the studio in charge of the Dead or Alive series, recently revealed that the team took influence from Naughty Dog's work when creating parts of Dead or Alive 5. Speaking with CVG, Hayashi explained that the dynamic stages of Uncharted grabbed the attention of the team. "Specfically, it was the whole stage crumbling, and things falling off, and the characters rolling down, grabbing on to the ledges in Uncharted," Hayashi said. "We also wanted to hint at that flow you get into Uncharted, where you know that something massive is about to happen. In Uncharted you fall off a cliff, or off a boat and things like that, and we thought moments like that would be great in DOA5's fighting system. We got really inspired by that, and we've tried to do something...

Dead or Alive 5 balancing will be tweaked, weaker characters receiving strength boost

By Alexa Ray Corriea on Oct 31, 2012 10.31.12

Team Ninja will tweak the balancing in its fighting title Dead or Alive 5, including boosting strength stats for the weaker characters to ensure more "fair fights," the developer announced today on Twitter.
