There were plenty of announcements at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS 2015) and more will come as the four-day event wraps up over the weekend. Here’s a quick round-up of what’s been released so far.

PlayStation VR

Formerly known as Project Morpheus, Sony announces the new name for its virtual reality headset the PlayStation VR. It’s still under development but we’re getting closer to a commercial release. Sony said earlier this year that the headset should be available some time in the first half of 2016.

Atsushi Morita, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, also announced a handful of games that will immediately get PlayStation VR support – all of which are playable at TGS 2015. The titles are: Final Fantasy 14 Online, Dynasty Warriors 7 VR demo, Summer Lesson, Kitchen, and others.

More on PS hardware

During its live event at TGS 2015, PlayStation announced that it’s cutting down the price of the PlayStation 4 in Japan and Southeast Asia. The price drop will take effect on October 1st. In the Philippines PS4 prices are slashes from Php 24,999 to 18,900.

While there’s no news if the rest of the world will follow suite, it makes sense that they will as Sony wants more people to experience playing with their next generation console specially with the upcoming release of the PlayStation VR.

New color options for DualShock 4 Controllers, faceplates for PS4

PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4 controllers will soon be available in 4 new colorways. There’s gold, silver, steel black, and crystal. But some people asked… where’s rose gold? No, not really.

The gold, silver, and steel black will be available in Japan starting November 6th while the crystal one will come on December 3rd.

If you like styling your PS4, Sony also announced 9 colored face plates for the hard drive bay cover of the console. The colors, all available on November 3rd (still just in Japan), include gold, silver, red, yellow, purple, and pink.

All about them games

Of course, it’s not called a ‘Game Show’ for no reason. Avid PlayStation gamers have plenty of titles and expansions to look forward to. Here are some we’re excited about.

1) Attack On Titan

If you’ve long dreamed of slashing down human-eating titans then this is the game you’ve been waiting for. Fans of the manga and anime Attack on Titan should be plenty excited about this game by Koei Tecmo. The game will be available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita some time in 2016.

2) BloodBorne: The Old Hunters

One of the better PlayStation 4 exclusive games released earlier this year is about to get its first expansion. Bloodborne: The Old Hunters will feature lots of new content including new weapons like a spiked wheel, a curved sword and a bow and arrow as seen on the trailer. The action-RPG’s expansion will be available as a downloadable content (DLC) on November 24th while a physical release will come on December 3rd.

3) Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue

Instead of getting Kingdom Hearts 3, Square Enix appeases fans of the Kingdom Hearts series by releasing the three-game package Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. The three games areKingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD (a remake of the Nintendo 3DS game), Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover and Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth By Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage. The set is coming to PS4 in 2016.

4) Gravity Rush (Remastered)/Gravity Daze

A well-loved title on the PS Vita is coming to the PS4. The remastered version of the cel-shaded action-adventure game will be available later this year while its sequel, Gravity Daze 2, will hit the market some time in 2016.

PC and handheld gamers can officially skip the wait, as AMD has launched its FSR 4.1 upscaling technology for Radeon RX 7000 series (RDNA 3) GPUs.

Computing and Graphics Group Senior Vice President and GM Jack Huynh made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter). This development brings machine learning powered gaming to millions of players across more than 300 games.

By downloading the latest AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver, users can unlock the new AI upscaling suite on existing RX 7000 series desktop graphics cards.

(The driver can be downloaded here.)

The update drastically sharpens image reconstruction, delivers far superior temporal stability, and keeps motion ghosting to an absolute minimum. That’s across a massive library of supported titles.

Beyond optimized frame rates out of the gate for those two blockbusters, the release packs vital architecture stability improvements and bug fixes for the broader Radeon ecosystem.

Huynh added that AMD is actively engineering lightweight machine learning models to expand FSR 4.1 optimizations to a wider base of gamers. More details are to come.

Moreover, the driver for the FSR 4.1 upscaling technology will deliver day-one support for two highly anticipated releases: Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations.

if you are wielding an RDNA 3 desktop rig or an RDNA 3-powered handheld, like the ROG Ally X or Lenovo Legion GO, simply open up the AMD Software suite, get the update, and test the new AI tech.
