LawBreakers PS4 Open Beta Live This Weekend, PlayStation 4 Pointers
This weekend experience gravity-defying-combat in the new first-person shooter LawBreakers on PlayStation Store, with the PS4 Open Beta live to test the game's servers ahead of the full launch on August 8th. 
Here's some PlayStation 4 pointers straight from CEO of Boss Key Productions Cliff Bleszinski, to quote:
Really quick, I want to drop some tips and tricks on you PS4 players to put to use in our open beta this weekend. That’s right, I said it! OPEN BETA!
Everyone, come in and try the game and help us test our servers one last time before we ship it. It’s important, especially since we want to make sure servers are in order for launch. We’ve only done one closed beta on PS4 previously, so the playing field is relatively untapped – time to get an edge, right?
A few pointers:
The team and I will be watching and playing this weekend, so go to PlayStation Store, download LawBreakers now and play it this weekend!
If you like what you play, you can support us before August 8 — pre-order the game now to snag some exclusive skins. We’re happy to give ya...

A few pointers:
- We do have some aim assist on PS4 but it’s pretty minimal, so you’re going to have to, uh, aim and earn those kills and cap those objectives
- Enforcer’s “run” isn’t just a run, it’s a DISTORTION FIELD BUBBLE that speeds up everything in it, including your shots and teammates
- Assassin’s grapple has some “wiggle room” to adjust as you zip through the maps
- The Titan may seem slow but if you blindfire (d-pad) you can fly through low-gravity maps like you’re Mary Poppins, y’all
- Gunslinger’s “warp” is omni-directional — so look anywhere, hit it, and you GO THERE
- Juggernaut’s run ability also doubles as a butt stomp when you’re in mid-air – and yes, you can get kills this way
- Our Battle Medics are surprisingly powerful on offense, so make sure to shell, shell away
- Vanguards can create a giant zero-G bubble for their ultimate – make sure to use it for extra air time
- Wraith can triple jump and wall jump, making this role pretty much “the floor is lava” all the darned time

MTX Key Game Installation Process Demos by Yildiz PS3 PS4 Cafe
Over the weekend we saw the MTX Key PS4 ModChip Installation Process, and today a Turkish YouTube user who goes by Yildiz PS3 PS4 Cafe shared some videos of the PS4 Game Installation Process when using an MTX Key with the PlayStation 4 console. 
Beyond shops and resellers, some end-users are finally receiving their MTX Key ModChip (hopefully the MTX Key Gerber Files will surface soon), and while there is an English Install Manual and PS4 Game Transfer Tutorial many questions remain... so if you already have an MTX Key and can help answer some it would definitely be appreciated!
Thanks once again to @Figure03 for the tip in the PSXHAX Shoutbox!
