PlayStation TV, Sony’s answer to media streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV and Roku, will have nearly 700 games available to stream at its impending launch on October 14. These games will be playable through the accompanying PlayStation Now game streaming service, which has been in an open beta on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and select 4K televisions.

The extensive lineup of games available at launch ranges from PSOne classics like Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal, and Final Fantasy Tactics, to more recent PS3 and PS Vita hits like Dragon’s Crown, Borderlands 2, and Killzone: Mercenary. The service will initially stream games that originally launched on PS One, PS Vita, and PS3. Additionally, PS4 owners will be able to stream their gameplay over a wired internet connection to the PS TV via Remote Play.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
