A Ghost of Tsushima movie is currently in the works, with the movie set to be directed by Chad Stahleski, […]
Despite this being one of the most controversial decisions made in the PC ports of their PlayStation games, Sony is doing it again. The PC version of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered on PC will add a mandatory PSN account requirement. The decision to do this in their previous games has already had Sony under fire by the masses, and it seems that they haven't read the criticisms, or they would stray from making such a decision. While the PC upgrade will come with benefits, this serves as a huge inconvenience to those who don't want to have to make a […]
It's no surprise whatsoever that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was going to be announced, and as expected, it was announced today during the State of Play.

Pocketpair and Nintendo are currently tackling a lawsuit, with Nintendo suing them over patent infringement. While it wasn't confirmed, it was suspected by many that the reason Pocketpair pulled out of Tokyo Game Show as an exhibitor was due to the lawsuit.

God of War Ragnarok recently arrived on PC after getting rave reviews on PS4 and PS5 back in 2022. But controversially, you need to log in to the PlayStation Network with a free account to play the single-player-only action game on Steam. Well, unless ...
Newzoo's financial report for August 2024 is out, discussing the engagement and revenue rankings for the month. Many of the statistics aren't too surprising, with Black Myth: Wukong dominating the market. Although Black Myth: Wukong was incredibly popular and performed well in revenue, it didn't quite hit the mark regarding MAU (Monthly Active Users) rankings. Despite not performing well in the MAU rankings, it remained first in August and was the top-grossing game in six markets. This was a huge achievement for Game Science, the game developer, as they had only worked on mobile titles previously. The game was #1 […]

Concord is one of Sony's biggest mistakes in game development, with the game being pulled offline and refunded just two weeks after it launched. Concord aimed to be the premium in a sea of free-to-play hero shooters. However, the numbers weren't there, and it received a 1.8 Metacritic User score. In a recent Sacred Symbols podcast episode, Colin Moriarty mentioned that they had spoken to one of the staff members who worked on Concord at Firewalk Studios and spoke "extensively for a long time" about Concord and its situation. The whole situation was doomed from the start, with the game […]
It’s been two weeks since Sony announced it was taking the unprecedented step of unreleasing Concord and almost as long since the ill-fated, sci-fi hero shooter was officially taken offline. In the time since, Kotaku understands that developers at Fire...
