Last year a report on Bloomberg detailed how one of Sony’s support-oriented studios, the Visual Arts Service Group, decided to go and remake The Last of Us for PlayStation 5, but without any support from Sony themselves. It was all very strange but allegedly ended with Naughty Dog taking back control of the project. At the end of last year the Visual Arts Service Group started hiring people, specifically asking for developers “with an appetite for high quality, 3rd person, action/adventure games.” Now, industry tipster Tom Henderson has tweeted “Heard from multiple people now that the TLOU remake is nearly finished and could release during the latter half of 2022.” He has also posted a video from Sony’s CES 2022 briefing yesterday that revealed more details of PSVR 2. Joel and Ellie can clearly be seen in the background. Other PlayStation icons including Ratchet & Clank, Aloy, and Jin are also pictured but Joel is certainly the odd one out, mostly because he’s very dead. Heard from multiple people now that the TLOU remake is nearly finished and could release during the latter half of 2022🧐 pic.twitter.com/ZxmNU7zS9k — Tom Henderson (@_Tom_Henderson_) January 5, 2022 Sony have a habit of dropping imagery from upcoming games in the background of presentations so is this a reference to The Last of Us for PS5? It could be, but why on earth would we need a The Last of Us Remake anyway? Well there’s one very obvious reason – Sony release games on PC now. A PS5 version of The Last of Us would mean the graphics are good enough for a full price release on PC. Naughty Dog are, as far we know, still working on Factions, the multiplayer portion of The Last of Us Part 2 that was cut from the game’s release. That could come to PC as well and having the original title to launch alongside it would be good marketing. At CES 2022 Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann did say “We’re dying to share with you the multiple game projects we have in the works at Naughty Dog.” There’s also The Last of US tv show out this year, launching the remake alongside that would also sell a lot of games. One other bit of TLOU news: Naughty Dog are looking for a a senior monetization/economy designer, perhaps hinting that Factions may be free-to-play. Source: Twitter
The performance of Solana in 2021 has been astonishing. Unless you’ve been living under a rock there’s no way that Solana’s rapid growth has gone unnoticed to you. Not only has the price of Solana risen, the whole ecosystem has seen massive developments. I have to say looking into it has been a thrill and […]
Earlier this month, The Water Project organization received a $30,000 gift to construct a fresh water well at the Lutali Primary School in Kenya. In the United States, nearly half a million meals were provided to children in need because of a contribution made to the group No Kid Hungry. A children's hospital site in Cambodia was funded entirely by a $50,000 cryptocurrency donation to the healthcare crowdfunding organization Watsi, Inc.
Saint Inu: The Cryptocurrency that Keeps on Giving
All of this was made possible by a rather surprising donor.
The benefactor of these donations is a cryptocurrency project called Saint Inu that was created less than a month ago. In just that short period of time, the project has already donated upwards of $300,000 worth of cryptocurrency to charities and non-profits around the world through their Charity Platform.
The newly formed Saint Inu project has started to turn heads in both the Charity and Cryptocurrency space with their jaw dropping generosity. The team has a token that gives a percentage of each transaction towards donations to charities and the token holders, however, the team says that this is "simply just the beginning".
The Saint Inu Development Team is working to reimagine how we envision donating to charity. The project is developing and launching a first of its kind "Play to Donate" (P2D) gaming platform called the SIGMA Platform (Saint Inu Gaming and Metaverse Arcade Platform). This launchpad will allow its users to earn cryptocurrency on behalf of their favorite charities by simply playing the games on the platform.
The "Play to Earn" (P2E) model has already proven to be successful in the crypto industry with P2E games such as Axie Infinity and Decentraland garnering multi-billion-dollar evaluations. The Saint Inu team believes that the next major trend in the market will be P2D games that allow users to donate to causes simply by playing a game. According to the Lite Paper published last week, there will also be P2E games on the SIGMA Platform.
With several games scheduled to be released next year, the team is excited about the future of the SIGMA Platform. They believe the revenue generated from the upcoming games will allow them to regularly make 6-figure donations and disrupt the charity, cryptocurrency, and gaming industries.
In a space that can be so unforgiving, it's a nice change of pace to see a project that is doing so much good for others.
