Sony may be working to bring proper PlayStation 3 backward compatibility to PlayStation 5, although only for select titles, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking during the latest episode of the XboxEra podcast, Shpeshal Nick revealed that he's heard that Sony is working on bringing backward compatibility for select PlayStation 3 titles on the current-generation consoles. The compatible titles will apparently also be sold individually, similarly to what Microsoft did with Xbox backward compatibility. Unfortunately, it is not yet known if the PS3 games compatible with PlayStation 5 will receive performance or visual improvements. It's also unknown which games would […]
With a full-blown Astro Bot platformer on the way, Sony’s Team Asobi has revisited its PS5 launch game, Astro’s Playroom, to add some exciting new teases for what’s to come. Most notable are the addition of four new Special Bots hidden in each of the g...
With a release date finally announced during today’s Nintendo Direct, Square-Enix has finally lifted the veil and shown off Dragon Quest III HD-2D for the first time in years in hopes of bringing the Erdrick trilogy to a new generation. While Square-Enix didn’t explicitly come out and say that they had plans for a trilogy during the hands-on preview, they noted that they wanted to start with Dragon Quest III chronologically as it was the first to come in the series. Nintendo spilled the beans during today's Nintendo Direct announcing the first two Dragon Quest titles also getting the HD-2D […]
As one of the hardest demo appointments to get into at Summer Game Fest's Play Days, we were excited to get hands-on with a quick thirty-minute demonstration of Phantom Blade Zero. Hardcore action titles such as this can have such a different vibe between watching someone else play the game during an online stream versus being able to pick up a controller and play for yourself. It was during Summer Game Fest 2024 that we finally got a brief taste of the Wuxia action players can look forward to in Phantom Blade Zero, a title that needs no introduction nor […]
Apparently it’s update day in the world of current-gen consoles. The PlayStation 5 is finally getting direct Discord integration and other improvements, while the Xbox Series X/S address dynamic background and Wi-Fi password frustrations. This is the l...
PlayStation has announced the new rotation of games coming to PlayStation Plus on June 18, and there are some standouts. Strategy fans have a lot to look forward to with the addition of Anno 1880 and Crusader Kings III, and Far Cry 4 is always a fun ti...
Wccftech recently had the opportunity to get an intimate behind-closed-doors look at Monster Hunter Wilds with a 30-minute gameplay demonstration from the Director of the title himself, Yuya Tokuda. During this hands-off demo, Capcom showcased a selection of early game content, from departing the main village and venturing out into the wilds with a map size that they’re already touting as over two times larger than previous titles and featuring a seamless transition with no loading from camp to quest. As the player Hunter ventures out from the base camp riding on a Seikret, the new pack animal and mount […]
Despite claims that were proudly displayed on the system's box, the PlayStation 5 could never deliver proper 8K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR output due to some technical reasons. Commenting on the recent removal of the 8K sticker from the console's packaging, Digital Foundry provided a rather interesting explanation of how a proper 8K resolution output at 60 frames per second with HDR was never going to be a thing for the console. The system's HDMI output is limited to 32 gigabits per second, which is not enough for 8K resolution at 60 FPS unless some compromises […]
2024 is not going to see any major PlayStation release from big first-party studios, but the situation will be much different next year, according to rumors circulating online. Speaking on the ResetERA forums, well-known insider shinobi602 commented on the games launching next year, saying that they are not games like Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade but major titles developed by first-party teams. Unfortunately, the insider did not say how many of these major games will be released next year alongside Death Stranding 2, but this is still good news, considering how dry this year will end up being […]
An early God of War Ragnarok PC, PlayStation 5 comparison video was shared online, highlighting the improvements the PC version of the game will feature over the PlayStation 5 release. The video, which was put together by Cycu1, is based on the reveal trailer shared during last week's State of Play, so the comparison may not be one hundred percent accurate. Even so, it's very easy to tell how ambient occlusion is definitely better on PC, and lighting in some scenarios. For the rest, the two versions of the game don't seem to be that much different, although there's no […]
Fittingly, Bandai Namco invited Wccftech and a number of other global journalists out to experience an exclusive hands-on with the upcoming DLC expansion for 2022’s Game of the Year, Elden Ring. The venue of choice was a cemetery in sunny Southern California and after a brief bus ride through Hollywood and passing by rows of elaborate tombstones and a live peacock enclosure, we were greeted by a choir quartet and a life-sized statue of Miquella’s Egg taken straight from Mohgwyn Palace. It’s here that Bandai Namco graciously lets us sit down for the first two hours of the upcoming Shadow […]
