The move follows other steps taken by PlayStation in recent years to improve its plastic usage, including using around 70% recycled PET plastic in the packaging of DUALSHOCK 4 controllers. Sony also brought some improvements with the PlayStation 5m which included replacing plastic cable ties with paper ones as well as substituting plastic display windows for closed cardboard boxes for PlayStation 5 accessories packaging sold in stores.

The types of titles that have taken their inspiration from FromSoftware’s library and that could come under the expansive term of a Soulslike are varied and diverse. There are some popular elements that tend to crop up more often than others, but a lot of Soulslikes are still unique and bring their own blend of elements. There are some truly wonderful games that could be classed as Soulslikes, as well as some not so great ones, but there are a couple that also perfect their Soulslike elements in impressive worlds....

Right now, a slew of new electronic gadgets raise questions for consumers, things like DVD players, HDTV sets, digital cameras and Diamond’s Rio. They’re no longer techno-toys of dubious value, but they haven’t achieved widespread adoption, either. My experience with the Rio was mixed: the device works as advertised but, for me, only after hours of struggling with the software and surfing the Web for free music. Setup was a snap: I booted up the CD-ROM that came in the box, installed it on my desktop PC, popped an AA battery into the portable unit and attached it to the PC with a simple cable....

Soundfall: How to Import Music The first step toward importing music into Soundfall is to confirm that the song of interest has been downloaded as an .mp3, .ogg, or .wav. When that is done, rhythm game fans should open the game’s Free Play tab, which looks like a CD, and locate the “import song” option at the bottom of the song list. Clicking on that option, or pressing the input that appears next to it, will allow the player to browse their PC for the music that is to be imported, and selecting “open” will bring it into the song library....

Soundfall opens with a largely forgettable storyline based around the main character, Melody, who finds herself whisked away from the real world and into the lands of Symphonia, the source of all music. A once struggling barista with unrealized musical talent, Melody now takes on the mantle of one of five Guardians of Harmony, each with a distinct musical aesthetic. Through the utilization of their musical skillsets, Melody and her friends must save Symphonia from the Discordians who threaten to destroy the world’s music....

ABC brought back the classic 1970s show last year. The remake was hosted by a Who’s Who of ESPN talent, including Mike Greenberg, Joe Tessitore, Cassidy Hubbarth and Cari Champion, with Ronda Rousey and DeMarcus Ware serving as “coaches” of the respective teams. But “Battle of the Network Stars” is not currently on ABC’s production schedule, sources said. ABC executives have not made a final decision on Season 2. This year, ABC canceled shows such as “Scandal,” “Marvel’s Inhumans” and “Designated Survivor,” while renewing “The Bachelor,” “Bachelor in Paradise” and “Black-ish....

The former U.S. national team goalkeeper and longtime Premier League standout will take over the Revs in what will be his first professional head coaching job. Friedel spent the past two years coaching the U.S. Under-19 national team along with working as a television analyst for Fox. Sources tell Goal that New England chose Friedel after initially reaching out to former U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena about the job....

Virat Kohli could not participate in the decider and Rohit Sharma led the team in his absence. The Mumbai Indians skipper did his job with commendable effort and ensured that India lifted their second trophy before drawing the curtains on this long-drawn-out trip. Here are the hits and misses from the final game of the tour: #5 Hit: Hardik Pandya Even the mighty Kohli, eventually, had to sit out of a game on this extensive tour....

The 1st Test against South Africa provided some surprise selections by Virat Kohli and the team management. Although dropping vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane came as the biggest shocker, giving the greenhorn Bumrah a nod ahead of seasoned veterans Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav was no less a surprise. However, here are a few reasons why his inclusion is justified: Wrap up the tail Shoaib Akhtar always says, “Fast bowling is about two things - toes and nose....

Dhananjaya de Silva and Nirosha Dickwella got Lanka off to a flier with an enterprising 59-run stand in 5 overs. Tahir dismissed them both in the sixth over to put the brake on the chase. Lungi Ngidi, on his debut, then produced a 4-run double-wicket over to win the game for the Proteas and in the process a Man of the Match award. Brief Scores: South Africa 126/5 in 10 overs (Miller 40, Behardien 31) beat Sri Lanka 107/6 in 10 overs (Dickwella 43, Ngidi 2/12)...

With no women’s doubles teams from the country managing to reach the final, India will not be able to make a clean sweep this time, unlike the 2016 edition when they won all the seven possible golds. In singles, India have already locked down the gold with Siril Verma and Aryaman Tandon setting up an all-Indian men’s final. Meanwhile, Ashmita Chaliha and Gayatri Gopichand will lock horns on the women’s side....

The Filipinos trumped Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time in their history. Meanwhile, South Korea were also coming into the semis after they pulled off a major upset in the quarterfinals, beating favorites Australia. South Korea started the first half on the front foot, dominating possession from the get-go. They were rewarded for their early dominance in the fourth minute itself....

New Zealand return to home action against Sri Lanka on Friday after securing a memorable 2-1 Test series victory over Pakistan, the Black Caps winning the decider by 123 runs. The spinners dominated across the three games, with William Somerville and Ajaz Patel the leading wicket-takers for the tourists. A home series against Sri Lanka offers more opportunities for the seamers, though, with Southee, Trent Boult and Neil Wagner having had little assistance in the UAE....

USM beat Louisiana Tech 80-71 on Sunday afternoon and Tyndall broke out into what I'm going to call the Hattiesburg shuffle. The Golden Eagles are 15-3 -- good enough for sixth in Conference USA.

The basketball program is currently under investigation for possible rules infractions that occurred under former coach Donnie Tyndall, who won 56 games in two years in Hattiesburg before moving to Tennessee for the 2014-2015 season (the Vols fired him after that season after news surfaced of the NCAA probe at Southern Miss).

Many fans of the PlayStation consoles were excited by the promise of haptic feedback featuring in the DualSense controller and it seems that there are more new elements in the controller. If this patent is implemented then players will have a variety of ways to charge their controller as well as some additional buttons, although whether they have a specific purpose is unclear.

Sony dedicated a significant part of its press briefing to displaying some of those games. Perhaps the biggest surprise was the reveal of Resident Evil 7. While the game will also see a standard non-VR release (of which a demo will be available this evening for PlayStation Plus subscribers), the ability to play the next Resident Evil entirely in virtual reality is a pretty big deal. Put simply, it looks terrifying....

The Destiny series has grown considerably, and the evolution of Destiny 2 into a live-service game means that it has a lot of potential for profit. While Destiny as a franchise is already profitable with a dedicated fanbase, the money that Sony paid to acquire Bungie should be looked at more like an investment into Bungie and its properties, rather than simply buying the studio and its games. This is highlighted by Sony and Bungie both expressing interest in Destiny movies, and comments that sound more like the two parties aim to maintain a relationship that is collaborative, rather than a dynamic of corporate owner and subsidiary....

The PS5’s packaging material has been getting more attention due to how eco-friendly it is. Notably, Sony is switching from using plastic and Styrofoam to recyclable cardboard. Even the DualSense controller is getting the cardboard packaging treatment too. The packaging for the PS5 is reportedly well organized, but is far from “glamorous” as some might expect.

While Killzone already received its chance to shine on the new PlayStation 4 console, many fans feel like the franchise didn’t get a fair shake. Like most launch titles, Killzone: Shadow Fall showed potential, and was absolutely gorgeous, but didn’t do much to push the series forward. For that matter, the game played things a little too safe both with its story and its gameplay. After Killzone Shadow Fall’s (arguably) disappointing showing, many wondered whether the franchise would get another chance....
