Did Sony confirm DRM on PS4 after all? Not quite!

[Update:Sony has outright confirmed my initial interpretation. As reported byGameFront, Sony has stated that Tretton’s use of the term “DRM” referred only to playing used games online. Essentially, they’re talking about letting publishers use online passes, and no other kind of restrictions.

GameStop: Don’t expect Wii Fit or possibly a Wii this holiday season

A few days ago, Reggie Fils-Aime announced that the Wii would actuallybe in stock this holiday season. He also said copies ofWii Fitwould be hard to find. According to GameStop’s chief financial officer, David Carlson, it appears that even the Wii may suffer from a shortage: Wii Fit is in very, very short supply. It sells through as quickly as it hits the stores. And although the Wii hardware is in very good supply right now we believe it may as well be out of stock by the holiday season....

Hearthstone’s new standard rotation and the thematic Barrens set has shaken up the game

I’m liking some of the new decks I don’t like to cover everyHearthstoneset, because some are way more impactful than others. But when there’s a full standard rotation, it’s kind of a big deal. Forged in the Barrens is a pretty hefty shakeup for the entire game, mostly because it also coincides with the recent new Core Set of cards. So in case you missed it,Hearthstonejust reworked every class by defaultdue to its new “Core Set” system....

Here’s a closer look at the PS4 controller and camera

Look! Here on the GDC expo floor, Sony is showing off the PS4 controller behind glass. Before nose smears and fingerprints smudged up the glass, I took these shots. Not close enough? Sorry. This is as good as I could do. You’ll see some of the ports and other features mentioned inthis morning’s presentation.

Here’s a full 15-minute Yakuza Zero story trailer

…in Japanese Even if you don’t understand Japanese this newYakuza Zerostory trailer looks hot as fire. This was the exact one blaring from Sega’s Tokyo Game Show booth a few weeks ago, made watchable on the internet for the first time today. It’s kind of jerky and blurry (like an old VHS tape?) but if you think about it, the poor quality kind of fits with the game’s time period....

There’s a few new things in here, and some Game Pass love Microsoft just finished its “first ever” ID@Xbox showcase stream, and there’s a lot to unpack.

Here’s your Company of Heroes 2 campaign trailer

RTS sequel will arrive next month, comrade I’m really grateful that Sega has picked upCompany of Heroes 2after THQ’s collapse. The original was a great real-time strategy title, one that I had most of my fun with in multiplayer more than the single-player. This trailer for the campaign mode has me intrigued as it seems to set up a personal take of the conflict on the Eastern front. The trailer shows an unnamed Soviet veteran, seemingly recounting his story battling the Nazi forces over four years....

Hori is making a proper d-pad for the Switch Joy-Con

Finally! If you’re like me and play the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode far more than you do in docked — that face button style of d-pad isn’t exactly great for 2D platforming and fighting games. Honestly, when the Switch was first showcased, I was kind of shocked how bad of a d-pad it was and that it came from Nintendo of all places. Well, thankfully, we may have a solution thanks to Hori, who have announced they’re releasing a left Joy-Con with a redesigned d-pad that looks far more comfortable and is currently planned to release in Japan for 2,678 yen ($25....
