PS5 News

Some controversial comments about the PlayStation 5 led to some unfair attacks on legendary game developer David Jaffe – and to the God of War creator defending himself. Users on Neogaf took offense at Jaffe’s comments that Sony would be relegated to “Nintendo circa Gamecube or N64”. Their first attack was on his relevance to the industry, and Jaffe was quick to hit back with some wise words. He said: “Most who talk about such things have yet to be…

Amazon UK stopped taking pre-orders for PlayStation 5 consoles in less than half an hour. Pre-orders went live at about 9.05am and the device was removed from searches on the website by 9.30am. The website currently reads: “We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock.” Some reported issues before pre-orders were closed. The website was crashing, and some purchase links just returned hopeful gamers to the Amazon homepage. It’s unclear whether further batches will be…

In an ideal world, launch games would be generation proof right out of the gate. We’d have Last of Us 2 quality games to play on day one, developer experience be damned. That’s not the real world though. In the real world, generations are mostly bluff and bluster, and there’s no reason to force people to upgrade. Since it was revealed that Horizon and Spider-man will be cross-gen games last night, some have declared it the death of next-gen. Developers…

Couch co-op has been on life support for longer than I care to think. Now even the staples are starting to get away from split-screen. With next-gen shockingly close, it doesn’t seem things are going to be getting any better. Battletoads gave a nostalgic feeling for a time when every great game seemed to be better with friends. That’s still true for today in many ways – so long as you’re not actually sat next to those friends. Keeping those…

Immortals: Fenyx Rising was shown at the Ubisoft Forward event. Check out some footage for the game below. We have some thoughts on it! Immortals: Fenyx Rising looks like Breath of the Wild had a bady with Greek Myth (or Assassin’s Creed Odyssey?). The game looks really good! Immortals, much like Breath of the Wild, will have a huge open world that players can explore from the get-go. The Greek myth inclusion: from Zeus to Medusa and more makes this…

In nine and a half weeks, the next generation begins. First the Xbox Series consoles will be on shelves, followed swiftly by the PlayStation 5. Nine and a half short weeks, and most of the stuff we know about these devices has still come via dodgy Twitter profiles and 4chan posts. It’d be easy to blame coronavirus or some dripfeed method of teasing, but it’s simpler than that: video game marketing is broken – and those dodgy Twitter profiles are…

On Saturday, DC Comics held a digital event called DC Fandome. During the event, they revealed two new games: Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League! We have details on both games below. On Saturday, DC Comics held their digital DC Fandome event. Two new games were revealed!

This week’s deep dive into the Xbox Series X has proven what a lot of us already know: this console is going to be a beast. Edging out the PS5 in terms of raw power and with the potential of things like machine learning on top, this could well be the greatest generation for Xbox fans. But don’t take my word for it, it’s Microsoft that has to prove themselves. But that’s where all this falls down, because thus far…

Over the last number of years, whenever I think 'gaming headsets' I'm thinking about Turtle Beach, and the fantastic headsets they've created and released, including their all time leading seller, the Stealth 600 on Xbox One and PS4. Today, Turtle Beach announced a brand new Gen 2 Stealth 700, and the newest generation of the Stealth 600, coming to both Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Most of the news around coronavirus has been painfully negative. There has been one small glow of hope: the backlog has taken a bashing. Sunny afternoons with soft drinks, ice cream, a cool breeze and an afternoon playing a favourite game felt like a thing of the past, but 2020 has offered it in spades. I can only talk for myself – I’d still need another six or seven years of this to make a dent – but overall that…
