PS Plus January Update Has Something For Everyone

Image: Deck Nine

If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’re in for a pretty sweet time starting on January 17. And if you’re not, the first catalog update for 2023 is tough to say no to. The latest injection of games to Sony’s subscription service features some undead co-op slaying, Super Saiyan shenanigans, a couple of classic games, and much more.

The PlayStation Plus subscription service, much like other gaming subs, regularly updates with new games every month. The service is spread across three tiers, Essential, Extra, Premium, which each cost $10, $15, and $18 a month respectively. Premium gets you the largest catalog (it’s the only tier that nets you access to PSX games) as well as letting you take advantage of Sony’s game streaming service (once known as PS Now). This month’s highlights include Back 4 Blood, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Devil May Cry 5, Just Cause 4, Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, and Syphon Filter 3, among others.

In a blog update, Sony laid out the following additions to PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers:

PS Plus Extra and Premium PS4 games

Back 4 Blood
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Jett: The Far Shore
Just Cause 4: Reloaded
Life Is Strange: Before the Storm
Life Is Strange
Sayonara Wild Hearts
Omno
Erica

PS Plus Extra and Premium PS5 games

Back 4 Blood
Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition
Jett: The Far Shore
Just Cause 4: Reloaded

If you’re on the Premium tier, you’ll also get the following PlayStation One classics:

Syphon Filter 3
Star Wars Demolition
Hot Shots Golf 2

If you haven’t played Devil May Cry 5 yet and you like stylish hack-and-slash action, it should probably be your first download of the lot. Otherwise, I definitely recommend giving Syphon Filter 3 a spin. The stealthy action series never reached critical acclaim quite like Metal Gear Solid did, but it’s definitely a pleasant trip down PlayStation memory lane. Let’s not resurrect the Snake vs. Gabe wars in the comments though, please. (Obviously Snake wins.)

Fully Playable Left 4 Dead Prototype Discovered 15 Years Later

Screenshot: Valve

A trove of Counter-Strike maps recently leaked on the internet, including a mod that was the predecessor to the survival co-op game Left 4 Dead. The mod is even fully playable, as long as you know how to set up your own server.

According to gaming leaks streamer Tyler McVicker, the prototype originated as a game mode in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Players would assemble in groups of up to four people and play as the terrorists. The goal was to plant a bomb while defending against waves of infinitely respawning hordes of counter-terrorists. These enemies only used melee attacks, which made them the perfect predecessor to L4D zombies.

Valve’s Earliest Left 4 Dead Prototypes Leaked. WOW.

The developers at Turtle Rock Studios clearly thought that the mode had a lot of potential. They polished it further during the development of Counter-Strike: Source, where it was renamed “Terror Strike.” L4D director and Turtle Rock co-founder Mike Booth confirmed the mod’s existence over Twitter. “It was our lunchtime go-to game,” he wrote. “We wanted Valve to release it but never got traction for some reason.” Turtle Rock was known as “Valve South” after Valve acquired it in 2008. They had already started development on the survival co-op, but they didn’t have an advocate within the parent company.

Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek told Kotaku that Turtle Rock had already started working on L4D before he became involved. The game caught his attention, and he became its “champion.” “I was one of the people who checked it out and told Gabe about it at lunch,” said. “I went on so much about it, he said I should just go work on it.” As a result of his involvement, he was able to increase the scope of its production. Faliszek recruited over a hundred Valve developers for L4D after the company had acquired Turtle Rock.

Valve published the zombie survival co-op in 2008. A sequel followed in the very next year Turtle Rock eventually separated from the publisher and became an independent studio in 2011.

It’s pretty neat that such a prolific game originated as a mod that its creators had been personally passionate about, rather than a carefully planned product. If you want to see what L4D looked like back in its ideation stage, you can download the mod here.

Gabe Newell: Steam Isn’t Interested in Agreements Like Xbox’s Nintendo Call of Duty Deal

Valve appreciates Microsoft’s continued support of the Steam storefront and says that a formal agreement isn’t really necessary for their partnership together.

We’re happy that Microsoft wants to continue using Steam to reach customers with Call of Duty when their Activision acquisition closes,” said Valve CEO Gabe Newell in a statement to Kotaku. “Microsoft has been on Steam for a long time and we take it as a signal that they are happy with gamers reception to that and the work we are doing. Our job is to keep building valuable features for not only Microsoft but all Steam customers and partners.”

Newell explains that Microsoft even sent a draft for a long-term community to keep Call of Duty on the Steam platform but clarifies that there was no need to do so. He says that Valve doesn’t believe in requiring any partner to have a formal agreement that essentially locks them into shipping games on Steam.

Newell also notes that Phil Spencer and the Xbox team have always followed through on their commitments and trust their intentions. Additionally, Newell believes that Microsoft has the motivation to put Call of Duty on platforms and devices that players want to be on.

Just yesterday, Microsoft committed to bringing Call of Duty onto Nintendo platforms for the next 10 years if the Activision-Blizzard merger goes through. Spencer has also said that Microsoft has not made any progress with PlayStation in accepting similar terms.

Microsoft Acquires Activision Blizzard: The Story So Far

Microsoft’s merger with Activision Blizzard merger is currently being reviewed by the FTC and other regulators in Europe and the UK. The deadline to close the deal is July 2023, otherwise, the two parties will have to renegotiate.

Gabe Davis’ questionable catch in Bills-Vikings thriller would’ve been overturned if reviewed, NFL VP says

The Minnesota Vikings defeated the Buffalo Bills in one of the wildest games of the 2022 season, but there could have been some major controversy if the result had been different Sunday.

After the Vikings recovered a Josh Allen fumble in the end zone for a touchdown to take the lead, the Bills quarterback started his drive to either pick up the win or force overtime. One play on that drive saw him throw a laser to wide receiver Gabe Davis.

Davis caught the pass as he was going out of bounds, but it appeared he did not have complete control of the catch as he hit the ground. Allen rushed the Bills players to the line and got off another snap before anything cold be reviewed by officials. The Bills tied the game and sent it to overtime.

The Vikings would win the game, 33-30, but the lingering question was whether officials should have – at the very least – reviewed whether Davis had caught the ball. Pool reporter Lindsay Jones, the president of the Pro Football Writers Association and senior editor at The Ringer, asked NFL Senior Vice President of Officiating Walt Anderson about the sequence.

JUSTIN JEFFERSON’S INCREDIBLE GAME LIFTS VIKINGS OVER BILLS IN CHAOTIC OVERTIME THRILLER

Jones asked Anderson why there was “no review initiated” on the Davis catch.

“It was a significant distance down the field,” Anderson said. “And even though it happens fast and Buffalo hurries to the line of scrimmage for the next play, if the replay official can’t confirm it was a catch on that long of a completed pass, we should stop play to ensure it is a catch.”

Anderson was then asked whether officials looked at the play after the fact and whether it would have been confirmed as a catch.

“We were able – several players after – to look at all the angles,” Anderson said. “It would have been reversed to an incomplete pass because he did not maintain control of the ball after he hit the ground and the ball touched the ground out of bounds.”

Police Refuse to Describe Horror Discovery of Missing California Woman Alexis Gabe

Investigators needed a forensic odontologist to identify missing 24-year-old Oakley resident Alexis Gabe, whose partial remains were discovered last week, police said in a press conference Monday. “Due to the fact that a forensic odontologist confirmed the partial remains via dental records, you can only imagine what we have recovered,” Detective Tyler Horn of the Oakley Police Department said. “Out of respect to the Gabe family, we do not want to get into specifics of what exact remains were recovered.” Gabe was reported missing Jan. 27 after she didn’t return home from her ex-boyfriend’s house. A visitor from Alaska made the find Nov. 3 while using a metal detector near the town of Plymouth, approximately 40 miles east of Sacramento. The remains were recovered Nov. 4, with police notifying the public Nov. 5. Other items of evidence were found at the scene, Horn said, including earrings, black garbage bag remnants, and duct tape. The earrings were determined to belong to Gabe based on photos of her wearing them. The condition of the remains “did not lead us to a specific manner of death, but we are confident her remains were separated from one another and scattered into similar areas,” Horn said. Gabe’s father, Gwyn, said at the press conference that “when Detective Horn called me asking for our dentist’s phone number, I knew something was up.” Police believe Gabe’s killer was her ex-boyfriend, Marshall Jones, who was killed in a June 1 shootout with federal officers attempting to serve him with an arrest warrant in Kent, Washington.

Josh Allen connects with Gabe Davis on Bills’ second long touchdown pass of the day

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. –The connection between Josh Allen and Gabe Davis was on point in the first half of Sunday’s matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Allen’s 62-yard toss to Davis in the second quarter was the duo’s second hook-up of the day, and helped stake Buffalo to a 17-3 lead over Pittsburgh. It was Allen’s third passing touchdown of more than 60 yards in his career — and second in the game — while holding up as his fourth completion of more than 60 yards in his career.

In the first quarter, a dropped kickoff return by backup special teams player Taiwan Jones left the Bills to start at their own 2-yard line, but the offense quickly bounced back with Allen throwing a 98-yard bomb to Davis. The touchdown was thrown 38 yards downfield and staked the Bills to a 7-0 lead following the ensuing point after. Former Bills cornerback Levi Wallace fell when trying to make the tackle on Davis before he ran downfield.

The 98-yard passing touchdown tied for the longest offensive touchdown in Bills franchise history (Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 98-yard passing TD to Terrell Owens in 2009).

The Bills quickly got the ball back after the score with the Steelers fumbling the ensuing kickoff.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis questionable for vs. Tennessee Titans with ankle injury

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis is officially questionable for Monday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury. Davis was a new addition to the team’s injury report after being limited in Saturday’s practice.

Davis has practiced the rest of the week and was warming up normally with the team at the start of the session Saturday. The Bills’ No. 2 wide receiver caught four passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in the team’s Week 1 31-10 win against the Los Angeles Rams. The third-year receiver is taking on a bigger role this year, and while the offense has plenty of strong weapons, his absence vs. the Titans on Monday Night Football (ESPN, 7:15 p.m. ET) would be significant.

While Davis’ status is in question, the Bills will be without defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) against the Titans. He suffered the injury in the game against the Rams and did not practice all week. The former first-round pick is a key part of the Bills defensive line, and the unit is also likely to be without defensive tackle Tim Settle (calf), who is doubtful for the game and was limited in practice Saturday.

“I was able to do everything they wanted me to do,” Settle said after Saturday’s practice. “Just taking steps. I feel like we’re at the end of the steps. I feel good, been having good progress this week and I’m happy with how far I’ve come.

” … I don’t know what their plan is, but I’m ready if they need me to be ready.”

This game is not an ideal one for the Bills to be without a couple of defensive tackles with running back Derrick Henry coming to Highmark Stadium. Last year against Buffalo, Henry ran for 143 yards on 20 carries and had three touchdowns, including a 76-yard run. Against the Rams in Week 1, the Bills gave up 52 yards on the ground.

Starting cornerback Dane Jackson (knee) is also listed as questionable for the game, but he practiced fully Friday. The 2020 seventh-round pick expressed optimism in the locker room after practice that he would be good to go for the game after suffering the injury during 1-on-1 drills in practice.

“I came down and my knee kinda buckled. Nothing major, no tears or anything,” Jackson said. “Just precautionary, good to be out there today.”

Gabe Kapler’s National Anthem protest ‘not appropriate,’ White Sox manager Tony La Russa says

While La Russa agrees “there’s a lot of problems in this country that need to be addressed” he says Kapler’s stance is not “appropriate.”

“Where I disagree is that the flag and the anthem are not appropriate places to try to voice your objection,” La Russa said prior to the White Sox game against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.

“I think you go directly to what the cause that really bothers you about the direction of the country is.

“So to me, it isn’t the flag and the anthem. I think it makes more sense to figure out which of those issues and speak about the ones he didn’t like and what he will do about it.”

On Friday, Kapler said he will skip the anthem “until I feel better about the direction of our country.”

His comments were accompanied by a written statement on his website sharing his thoughts after 19 children and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, by a lone 18-year-old gunman.

In the blog post, Kapler questioned whether the country’s leadership is committed to representing its people’s best interests and whether the United States is truly “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

La Russa said he respects Kapler personally and professionally and agrees “there’s a lot of concern” around the US.

“I would never not stand up for the anthem or the flag,” La Russa said. “Maybe just because I’m older, and I’ve been around veterans more than the average person.

“You need to understand what the veterans think when they hear the anthem, or they see the flag and the cost they paid and their families paid.

“And if you understand that, I think it’s impossible not to salute the flag and listen to the anthem.”

Clarification: This story has been updated to directly attribute La Russa’s comments.
