PS5 News

Exclusivity is changing. When I was a kid, I desperately wanted a PlayStation to play Tomb Raider. I drew pictures, I read magazines. I had a Sega Saturn, and could’ve played it perfectly well there. But six-year-old me didn’t know that, and nothing I saw convinced me otherwise. I had a PlayStation that Christmas. A bit after that we went into a little game shop in Birmingham – up near where Currys and Pizza Hut is now, if memory serves.…

Four Xbox will come to PlayStation, Game Pass will continue getting day one releases and the next Xbox will be the “biggest generational leap yet”. Those were all announcements at the Xbox business update podcast, and it was fair and well-explained. And while they stopped short of saying which four Xbox games would be jumping ship – pun intended – they also refused to rule out future releases. This is testing the waters. It’s still a risk that they’ve not…

Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is out today for Playstation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. Check out the launch trailer below. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is out today (2/13). Its availabe on the Xbox Series, PC, and Playstation 5. We just received a review code for the game (on Xbox Series) today and will provide a review as soon as possible. Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden looks pretty cool. Will you be checking it out?…

Xbox look set to release all of their games onto PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, and in the very near future. And despite a large amount of theorising, that’s about all we know. But that is bad enough. This is very much a breaking news story, and I held off writing anything in the hopes that Microsoft were sensible enough to put out an official statement overnight. But it hasn’t happened. A variety of leakers and insiders have confirmed separately that…

“The Spy Who Shot Me” is a first-person shooter (FPS) game that combines classic spy action with a touch of humor. Developed by independent game developer and publisher Retro Army Limited, the game pays homage to the spy genre while adding its unique flair. In this game, I had to step into the shoes of a suave secret agent tasked with thwarting a global villain’s nefarious plans. The gameplay features a mix of espionage, gunfights, and gadgetry, offering a nostalgic…

Sand Land is one of my most anticipated games of this year! And now we have a release date for it. Check out the trailer and my thoughts on it. Sand Land will be out on April 26, 2024. There will be a standard edition, a deluxe edition, and a collector’s edition available. The game is coming out on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. I really love the game’s Dragon Quest like graphics. Its definitely an action game but…

It’s that time of the year where I start thinking about Christmas guides. And man, 2023 has been something special. We look back at 1998 and 2004 and we remember them as years where gaming evolved. Title after title that defined a generation – and an entire industry. And, you know, I think 2023 may just end up being one of them. Granted, it’s hard to tell. One of the important things about those two years is longevity. Metal Gear…

The Last of Us Part II is getting a ‘remaster’ for PlayStation 5. At the ridiculously old age of three, it really is overdue. I mean, it’s basically unplayable at this point. Nobody is surprised that this is something Sony is putting out with a straight face, nor that there are a sizeable amount of people who are really into it. And all the more power to everybody involved. You don’t have to be mad to be a gamer, but…

I can’t be the only person getting tired of hearing about all these live service games. Call me selfish, but I really wish it’d just stop. Trends come and go. In the past every game seemed to have a stealth section. Or a tower defence mini-game. These were annoying, but had very little impact on the industry itself. Nobody was imploding because their content pipeline wasn’t filled to the rafters. And yet live service has fundamentally changed the way many…

There are few things in gaming that are absolutely sacred, but one of those things is modding. It is an inalienable right, as Bethesda found when they started considering paid modding. Capcom, apparently, didn’t hear this message. Taro Yahagi, a programmer for Capcom, said mods “aren’t that different from cheating” in terms of what they do to the game internally. Which shouldn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but of course cheats are something Capcom sell now. Long gone…
