Naughty Dog Pledges To Remove The Last Of Us Phone Sex Numbers In Future Patch

In an entertaining coincidence, Naughty Dog, the developer who once included a nude code in their 1991 game, Rings of Power, is now apologizing for complaints that the studio included working phone sex line numbers in The Last of Us. The fan-favorite game developer is taking a break from relishing in critical praise (read our review of The Last of Us) and exploring sequel ideas, to address allegations Naughty Dog overlooked a pair of telephone numbers - hidden among the numerous photos, billboards, paper headlines, and other environmental details which help sell the title’s post-apocalytpic setting - that, when called, connected curious players to working phone sex operators....

New Sony Worldwide Studios Website Implies That Killzone Is Gone For Good

Sony’s new Worldwide Studios website is a grim read for Killzone fans as the game is strangely absent. Killzone is one of PlayStation’s most established series, with six titles spanning across three generations of consoles. However, since Killzone: Shadow Fall’s launch alongside the PS4 in 2013, there has been barely any news of a potential sequel on the PS5. In fact, Sony seems to be actively distancing itself from the franchise altogether....

Nikon 1 V2

Our quick take Nikon 1 V2 - 3.5 / 5 Design concept Speed daemon Multi-view One-inch pinch To recap There’s a lot to like about the Nikon 1 V2: it’s super fast, responsive and the new mode dial is a nod toward welcoming in the more traditional photo enthusiast. But the menu system is still a bit of a faff and the 1-inch sensor size won’t quite match up to the competition....

Outlast 2 No Longer Banned In Australia

Outlast 2 was banned in Australia last week after the upcoming game was refused classification by the Australian Classification Board, causing much debate among Aussies disappointed to be missing out on one of the most highly anticipated horror games of the year. But now, the same Classification Board that banned the game has apparently had a change of heart, and Outlast 2 will release in Australia after all. Outlast 2 was originally banned under the board’s Games 1(a) ruling, which is given to titles that “depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified....
