Honeymoon’s Over

December 1, 2014 Sebastian Young Editor's Picks, Editorials, SY

A few months ago I finally joined the new-generation and splashed out on a PS4, along with Destiny and The Last Of Us Remastered. I’ve played those games a lot, too much perhaps, over the last several months. But I’ve found that with each passing week I’ve been looking over the fence at “the others” with mounting jealousy.

And by “the others” I don’t mean those individuals who chose Microsoft’s gargantuan monolith. I mean the brave, faithful, foresighted folks who signed up to “Next-Gen” early and picked up a Wii U. The clever bastards.

I Wish I Knew How To Quit You

It’s been about 6 weeks since I arrived home from work one day to find an Amazon delivery waiting for me. Inside was a Destiny PS4 bundle, along with a copy of The Last Of Us Remastered. Being a PS Plus subscriber, I also had instant access to about 10 games that I’d been storing away since last year.

So out of all the games at my disposal over the past month, which one is my favourite? Well, that’s a tricky one to answer, since the only one I’ve played is Destiny. Despite it’s flaws and annoyances, I just can’t stop playing the damn thing, God help me.

TGS 2014: Sebastian’s Top Picks

October 6, 2014 Sebastian Young Editorials, SY

I’ve talked a lot about the games on display at Tokyo Game Show, but there were some things that, for me at least, stood out from the crowd. So, in the last of my articles on the games and tech at the show, here are my personal Top Picks from TGS 2014.

TGS 2014: The Virtuality Paradigm – Oculus Rift

September 24, 2014 Sebastian Young Editorials, SY

After taking Project Morpheus for a spin at the Tokyo Game Show, I felt it was only fair to cross over to the other side of the convention hall and try out the nearest competition, the Oculus Rift. On the walk over, I passed by the Samsung booth and noticed that there were people trying out some sort of head-mounted device. My immediate thought was, oh God, here we go with everyone and their mother jumping on the “VR” hype train with a flurry of crap Oculus/Project Morpheus copies. It turned out to be something quite extraordinary.

TGS 2014: The Virtuality Paradigm – Project Morpheus

September 24, 2014 Sebastian Young Editorials, SY

One of the things I absolutely wanted to try out at the Tokyo Game Show was Project Morpheus. VR is being heralded as the next big evolution for gaming and there is A LOT of money being thrown at getting this technology up and running reliably and at a cost that ordinary people will be willing to pay for.

Before pulling on the headset my main concerns were; 1) Is this going to make me want to puke? 2) Is this going to make me feel like I’m in another world or simply like I have a screen strapped one inch from my face? And 3) Is this experience going to make me, or anyone else want to adopt VR as a mainstream gaming device?

September 23, 2014 Sebastian Young Editorials, SY

Thanks to some deft verbal duelling on the Public Day, I was able to get my mitts on a lot more games than I was expecting. Over the course of 2 days I saw some amazing looking things heading our way, some disappointments and a few things that made me think “what the fudge?”. I’ll be writing about my favourite picks from Tokyo Game Show 2014 later, but for now, heres a rundown some of the good, the bad and the downright weird.
