News | Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 postponed
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been postponed from the first quarter of 2020 to somewhere later next year.
A precise new release date is not yet available. The delay was announced by developer Hardsuit Labs via a blog post, accessible via the tweet below.
“We need more time to create the game that you are waiting for,” said Andy Kipling and Brian Mitsoda. “Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is still coming out in 2020, but we believe quality is more important than releasing the game in the first quarter. It was not an easy choice. During 2019 we improved our processes and expanded our teams, but it soon became clear that this was not enough to deliver quality on the agreed date. “
Bloodlines 2 is set in Seattle, where a blood war is going on between various vampire actions. The story adapts depending on whether the player can ensure that humanity continues to think that vampires do not exist. In terms of gameplay, developer Hardsuit Labs promises fast melee combat and a complete city to explore.
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 will launch later in 2020 than we planned. Simply put, we believe quality is more important than releasing in Q1.

News | PlayStation 5 Official name, release date and 'adaptive triggers' revealed
Sony confirms that their next console will be named PlayStation 5. It's also announced that the release is scheduled for the end of 2020 and details about the new controller have been shared.
Although the name PlayStation 5 sounds logical, this was not yet confirmed by Sony. For this, the company referred to their new console as “the next generation of PlayStation.” The PlayStation 5 will be released at the end of 2020, although it is not yet confirmed whether this is worldwide. However, given that the message was posted on both the Japanese, American and European versions of the PlayStation Blog, this is plausible.
Sony also shares some details about the PS5 controller. For example, the vibration function is improved by means of Haptic Feedback, so that players can, for example, feel the difference between hitting a wall with a car in a racing game and a tackle during a football game. Another example mentioned is that players can feel the sensation of running through grass.
Another innovation is being implemented in the triggers. The L2 and R2 buttons become ‘adaptive triggers’. Gamemakers have early versions of the PS5 controller and can adjust the resilience of the triggers so that players can experience the tactile feeling of shooting a bow and arrow, for example.
Website Wired has also posted an article in which a number of details are also shared. For example, Ray Tracing is supported by hardware, the PS5 contains USB-C connections and the speed of starting, loading and streaming games is improved by the built-in SSD. Wired also reports that the devkit on which they played a test version of Gran Turismo Sport is very similar to the images that appeared recently. Sony made no statements as to whether this will also be the final form of the PS5 itself.
Further information about a price or games for the console has not yet been communicated.
