Song Of Horror A Lovecraftian Love Letter Meets Hard Boiled Noir

There is never a single moment in Protocol Games’ Song of Horror where the player feels safe. From the eerie ramshackle mansion of a writer suspiciously named Husher to the Borgin and Burkes lookalike antique shop Färber & Sons, everything is given atmosphere by an almost-silent playthrough. Sound, setting, and narrative coalesce to send shivers down the spine of any player, avid horror gamer or not. If those weren’t enough to pique one’s interest, there’s also the terrifying presence of an unknown Entity that stalks players from the shadows, watching and learning as their investigation unfolds....

The general consensus has been that no matter how many Sonic games the company has attempted to shoehorn out every single year, the quality is fading....

Sony Patent Hints That Ps5 Controller Will Detect Sweat Heart Rate And More

A new Sony patent may reveal some rather surprising new features for the PlayStation 5’s DualShock 5 controller. According to the patent, the controller could use “biofeedback” to “modify user experience,” with data collected from players’ hands while they are playing games.

Examples aren’t given, but in the past, there have been suggestions that such technology could be used to make a game easier if it’s too stressful or in the case of a horror game, ramp up the scares if the player’s heart-rate isn’t responding accordingly....
