Sony unveils BloodBorne at E3, from creators of Dark Souls

By AJ Dellinger Published April 24, 2023

Sony has a lot to show off at E3 2014, with a strong mix of old favorites and new content. Falling into the category of the latter is BloodBorne. Little information was provided about the title outside of a teaser trailer shown during Sony’s time on stage.

From Software, creators of the popular and gamer-flustering Dark Souls franchise, are behind the new IP that appears to be set in Victorian England. The trailer, full of dark and damp environments, gave little idea about the game itself. There was no gameplay footage or indication of the type of game BloodBorne would be. It did tease with glimpses at some large, hairy monsters.

BloodBorne, which gamers my otherwise recognize by its leaked title Project Beast, is under the direction of Hidetaka Miyazaki. It will be available some time in 2015. There was no official indication that the title will be a PS4 exclusive.

A security researcher has discovered that a community-made Meccha Chameleon Workshop map contained code designed to write files outside the game and launch a hidden PowerShell process that attempted to download an additional payload from an external server.

You can play Xbox games for free if you don’t mind watching ads

You can watch some ads and play for an hour!

If you've been curious about Xbox Cloud Gaming but didn't want another monthly subscription, Microsoft may have a new option for you. The company is testing a free, ad-supported version of Xbox Cloud Gaming for Xbox Insiders, allowing eligible players to stream select games they already own without a Game Pass membership.

However, you'll have to watch a short advertisement before your session begins. Microsoft says the ads will never interrupt gameplay, making this an early test of whether a simple tradeoff can bring cloud gaming to more players.

Lenovo’s latest LOQ is more comfortable running newer AAA games

Lenovo's LOQ 17 gets a new RTX 5070 12GB graphics option

Lenovo has expanded its LOQ gaming laptop lineup with a new graphics option. The company has introduced a refreshed version of the LOQ 17IRX10, pairing Intel's Core i7-14700HX processor with Nvidia's newly announced GeForce RTX 5070 12GB laptop GPU. The update gives buyers another configuration to choose from without changing the overall design or feature set of the laptop.

The new variant joins Lenovo's existing LOQ 17IRX10 lineup, which was previously available with GeForce RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5070 8GB graphics options. While the chassis remains unchanged, the addition of a 12GB RTX 5070 brings more VRAM to the series, a specification that has become increasingly important as modern AAA games demand larger texture caches and higher memory capacity.
