Today, Sony released its Q2 2024 financial report, revealing that the PlayStation 5 had reached 65.5 million units and the quarter had performed well enough to warrant an upgrade to the full-year forecast for the gaming segment. Following the report, the usual investors call saw PlayStation Co-CEO Hiroki Totoki talking about a couple of hot topics. Speaking of the failure of Concord, which led to wasting over $200 million spent on the project and to the closure of the developer Firewalk Studios last week, he said (excerpt via GamesRadar): Currently, we are still in the process of learning. Basically, with […]
The holiday season is one of the best times to make a gaming laptop purchase, but as you can already tell, Amazon and other online retailers continue to list RTX 4080 models for insanely high prices.

The ShadPS4 PlayStation 4 emulator is continuing to make amazing progress and has recently reached an extremely important milestone. As reported in a new video shared by BrutalSam on YouTube, the emulator's development team shared two new screenshots on the official Discord which confirm that ShadPS4 is now capable of getting in-game in Bloodborne. More work will obviously be required to actually make the game playable on PC, but still, this is incredible progress, considering the emulator was only capable of booting up the game a few weeks ago. Besides being now capable of getting in-game in Bloodborne, the ShadPS4 […]
Fans have decided to develop the Bloodborne remaster that Sony doesn't seem interested in making ahead of the game, becoming playable on PC via emulation. Fromsoftserve, a well-known Souls series modder, revealed a few days ago that they are working on a Bloodborne visual overhaul mod that will bring upscaled textures, dynamic shadows, better reflections, and more. In the video below, the modder explains why they are developing this mod while showing how they are going about improving Central Yarnham. While it may be a little early to develop a visual overhaul mod for a game that cannot be emulated […]

A new Elden Ring patch is now live on PC and consoles, introducing some welcome improvements to summoned spirits and plenty of other balance changes. Patch 1.13 focuses on balance changes, introducing some PvP-exclusive changes alongside some general ones which improve the Repeating Crossbow, Spread Crossbow, Rabbath's Cannon, Shield of Night, Golem Fist armaments, among others, the Savage Lion's Claw, Swift Slash, Overhead Stance skills, among others, select spells and incantations. The biggest changes, however, were made to several summoned spirits, which now hit harder and have better damage negation when the Revered Spirit Ash Blessing is at 5 or […]

FromSoftware will continue working on the Armored Core series in the future, judging from a new job ad that was discovered online this week. As reported by cindiestarlight on the Tech4Gamers forums, the Japanese studio is looking to hire a Character Modeler whose responsibilities will include modeling and texturing characters or robots. While this is in no way an indication that a new entry in the series is already in the works, a new Armored Core definitely seems to be in the cards. FromSoftware planning to release another entry in the Armored Core series comes as no surprise, given the […]
Just a few hours ago, FromSoftware and Bandai Namco proudly announced the excellent commercial result of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, the expansion that sold five million units in its first three days of availability. The studio's parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, must certainly be pleased with the sales. However, they have also just discovered that they were hacked. The news comes from threat intelligence platform Falcon Feeds, which tweeted a snapshot of the message shared by the hackers: Our team gained access to the Kadokawa network almost a month ago. It took some time, because of the language, to […]
