It’s been almost one year since the launch of PlayStation VR! And in that time, PlayStation and its development partners have built a library of more than 100 games that cut across all genres… and created a few new ones in the process.

Introducing the New PlayStation Credit Card

Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut Is A Puzzle Game Made For People Who Hate Puzzle Games

Stripped to its basics, Slayaway Camp is ‘just’ a sliding block puzzle, similar to Sokoban or any number of move-a-thing-around-a-grid mini-games that most gamers will undoubtedly be familiar with. These kinds of puzzles can range from mindlessly simple to maddeningly complex, but they do have a tendency to be, well, boring.

The challenge we set ourselves in Slayaway Camp was this: can we make a dry, cerebral sliding block puzzle game that is not boring? Sliding a block around to reach an objective can be tedious. But what if the block was, say, a person, and the objective of the puzzle was, say, to gruesomely murder them?

Whatever that is, it’s not boring!

From this concept, we quickly made the jump to ‘80s slasher movies. Thematically, it fit with our game mechanics, where you had multiple helpless, immobile victims waiting for you to slaughter them. And conceptually it was a blast, with all sorts of opportunities to indulge in retro-horror nostalgia, ‘80s metal and synth-rock, VHS tape artifacts, and creatively disgusting murders.

Once we had embraced that theme, we started evolving and tweaking game mechanics to support it. For instance, we added the ability to ‘scare’ victims so that they flee from the killer, potentially sending them into a more strategically advantageous position… or right into some kind of flame-based hazard or man-mincing woodchipper.

While we were having tons of fun including dozens of hidden (and not so hidden) references to 80’s horror flicks, we did have to make some careful decisions regarding the game’s violence. By any normal standards, it’s incredibly over the top, with multiple campers getting decapitated, defenestrated, disembowelled and dismembered (or worse!) every few minutes.

A realistic art style would have resulted in a truly nauseous experience for all but the most hardened gorehounds. But making a bloodless slasher film homage would remove the very essence of what it’s paying tribute to.

Ultimately, we decided to crank the violence to ultra levels, but reduced the detail of the characters to the point that they are basically adorable shoeboxes with eyes. As a result, the bloodshed and slaughtering – despite being utterly brutal – is more comical than it is disturbing.

But it’s not just kooky kills and humorous homicides that we rely on for tickle-funnies and happy-smiles. For example, one level is effectively a labyrinth and, as you wind your way through, a guy sitting by a campfire is playing his guitar and singing especially badly. Each turn gets you closer, but one false move means you’re doomed to listen to another outburst of his horrifying campfire ballad.

There are jokes and moments like these lovingly peppered through the entire game, and we feel it’s this type of attention that gives Slayaway Camp its black-but-ever-so-lovable soul.

After all our efforts, some of the most satisfying feedback we have received is from fans of the game who wholeheartedly admit that before they played Slayaway Camp, they hated puzzle games. We believe that by drenching the puzzles in a thick layer of style and substance (and gore), there’s always something new to work towards… be it unlocking a secret homage to a horror movie killer or the promise of savagely beating a camp leader over the head with his own guitar.

So, whether you love puzzle games or you hate them with all your guts, Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut is for you. And with more than 300 puzzle levels to massacre your way through, 90 ‘Gorepacks’ with delightfully OTT kill scenes, and over 60 killers to cause comical carnage with, Slayaway Camp: Butcher’s Cut is undoubtedly the meatiest and most murdery version of the game yet. Coming to a PS4 near you in time for Halloween!

What the Messenger Tells Us About Star Wars Battlefront II

The death of the Emperor wasn’t the end of the Empire. While the fall of the nefarious leader sewed confusion among the ranks, the surviving officers of the Imperial navy still wield influence over vast fleets and powerful forces. But even from beyond the grave, the Emperor’s destructive control holds sway over the galaxy… not just over his enemies, but also over the servants who failed to protect his life.

Part of that vengeance is enacted by Messenger droids, one of which plays a key role in the single-player story of Star Wars Battlefront II.

Messengers are agents of the Contingency – the Emperor’s sinister plan put into effect in the event of his untimely demise. Outlined in Star Wars Shattered Empire and Star Wars Aftermath, the Contingency punishes Empire and Rebellion alike.

Messengers are foreboding droids. They bear the visage of the dead Palpatine, and some are equipped to enforce his will not just with words, but with violent action. Early in Star Wars Battlefront II, a Messenger tasks Iden and her father, Garrick Versio, with terrifying instructions. We don’t want to reveal much more about this critical sequence, but its pretty clear that Iden’s “unusual” mission will place her on a collision course with the last wishes of the fallen Emperor.

The Messenger is just one of many story connections to the broader Star Wars galaxy revealed in the new single-player campaign. You’ll be learning much more about Iden, her teammates Del and Hask, and many of your favorite Star Wars characters in Star Wars Battlefront II, launching November 17.

However, you won’t have to wait until then to go hands-on with the game. The Star Wars Battlefront II multiplayer beta* is coming October 6 (or October 4 if you pre-order). Stay tuned for more news leading up to the game’s release.

Discover the Creators: Cliff Bleszinski’s Favorite PS4 Games

Discover The Creators is a PlayStation Store curation program in which we’ve asked some of the biggest names in the biz to pick their favorite PS4 games in order to help your find your next game to play.

From VR experiences that literally give you wings (or a cowl to don) to bold franchise renovations that aren’t afraid to get dark and dirty, this list of titles taps into different areas of adventure, intrigue, and familiarity. Movies are great, but games are interactive — and that’s the powerful distinction of the list below. Each of these puts us in fantastic and surreal situation where we must make choices that both tell us who we really are and potentially who we want to be.

Batman: Arkham VR
Half of virtual reality is the gameplay, but for VR the overall “experience” is often what sells it. In the Arkham games I thought I felt like Batman, but it wasn’t until I fired up my PS VR and looked in the mirror and saw Batman looking back at me. Perfect length, gorgeous to look at, and VR controls done right.

Far Cry 4
Ubisoft knows their “formula” — explore the world, find a tower, control area, repeat — but they’ve honed it to such a fantastic state in this title. The co-op alone is worth the price of admission, flying a gyrocopter while my wife fires grenades down below on fleeing livestock was comedy gold.

BioShock: The Collection
No one knows how to merge first-person shooting, narrative, and RPG elements quite like Ken Levine. The BioShock series is a masterclass in this, topical without being overly political, haunting, and beautiful all at the same time.

Horizon Zero Dawn
The game took years, and it shows. It oozes quality from every blade of grass to every robot that you hunt — or hunts you. Even if the gameplay wasn’t stellar (it is), the atmosphere and setup of the world itself — a pseudo-viking world of humans hunting robotic animals — is second to none.

Resident Evil 7
Resident Evil 7 is a massive shift back to what makes the series great, in an amazing Southern Gothic setting. Perfect blend of hunt or be hunted gameplay, fearful moments coupled with empowering ones, and claustrophobic environments in which you can almost smell the mold and mildew.

The Talos Principle
Who’d have thought the folks at Croteam, known for their bombastic Serious Sam series would be able to craft such a compelling first-person puzzler? A perfect difficulty ramp through and through that oozes mystery.

Eagle Flight
I’ve had the dream of flying like an eagle ever since the age of six, and the first time I tried this game I was moved to tears. Sometimes the best solutions to game controls is to go with the most simple; the team that cracked this formula has gained mountains of respect from me. Look in a direction and fly in that direction, tilt your head to turn, and explore post-apocalyptic Paris at your leisure before hopping into multiplayer.
