PS5 Pro Enhanced Label Reportedly Won’t Require 60fps, “Ultra Boost” to Benefit Most Games

While Sony has yet to make any sort of official announcement, rumors about the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro are coming hot-and-heavy. We recently heard that developers will need to include PS5 Pro compatibility in their games to get certified as soon as this August, and now The Verge has provided some more details about what a game needs to do to earn the “PS5 Pro Enhanced” label. Sony is reportedly asking devs to create a PS5-Pro-specific graphics mode for their titles going forward, in addition to the usual Quality, Performance, ect. modes most PS5 games already have. While Sony would […]

A Reddit User is Running Game Boy Advance Games on an Apple Watch Ultra Running Android

It's not every day we see Frankenstein tech, but when we do, it's a funny sight. A Reddit user has decided to do something that I did not think would be possible, wherein the user paired a smartwatch with a controller and created a makeshift console. What's even more interesting is that the smartwatch in question is the Apple Watch Ultra, which runs the full version of Android. This setup is complemented by a Dual Sense controller. It's a weird combination, I know, but it works really well. You can play Game Boy Advance games on your Apple Watch Ultra, […]

PC Top 2023 Games a Decade Old on Average; PC Drove Growth in 2023, Console Will 2024 Onward

Market research and data tracking firm NewZoo has released their 2023 PC and Console Gaming Report, and it provides an interesting snapshot of an industry in a bit of a transitional mode. The gaming industry saw out-of-control growth during the pandemic, which fizzled a bit in 2022, but 2023 saw a return to modest growth with the PC/console market reaching $93.5 billion, up 2.3 percent over year-on-year. This growth was largely driven by the PC market, which was up 3.9 percent year-on-year, while the console market was up 1.7 percent YoY. The PC market accounted for 43 percent of industry […]

Rise of the Ronin Review – Neo Edo Open World

Rise of the Ronin struggles to find its identity in ways that hinder what would otherwise be one of Team Ninja's finest works. A compelling story told against the backdrop of the 1850s Bakumatsu Period is instead overshadowed by a vapid and uninspired open-world setting and a narrative that rarely feels like the player has agency.

Predator: Hunting Grounds Coming to Xbox Series X, PS5 as Sony Hands Publishing to IllFonic

Back in 2020 IllFonic released Predator: Hunting Grounds, another take on the asymmetric multiplayer formula they’ve employed with titles like Friday the 13th: The Game and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed. Somewhat oddly, the game was published by Sony as a PC and PS4 console exclusive. Despite the big-name publisher, the game kind of came and went without too much fanfare, but now it seems IllFonic is preparing the revive the game on current-gen platforms. IllFonic has announced they’ve taken over publishing duties for Predator: Hunting Grounds and will be officially releasing the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. IllFonic will […]

System Shock Remake Launches on PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in May

After numerous delays, the anticipated System Shock remake launched on PC to solid reviews and enthusiastic fan response early last year, but when do console players get in on the retro cyberpunk fun? Developer Nightdive Studios have always said a console version of the new System Shock was in the works (which sets it apart from the PC-only original) but have been a bit cagey about when it might arrive. Well, thankfully, the wait is almost over! Today Nightdive and publisher Prime Matter announced that System Shock is coming to both PlayStation and Xbox in May, roughly a year after […]

Stellar Blade Demo Was Briefly Available for Download in the US; Weighed in at 16GB

The Stellar Blade demo briefly appeared on the US PlayStation Store before it was pulled by Sony. The demo weighed in at more than 16GB, and was spotted by X users 'PlayStation Game Size' and 'Wario64'. While it appears that some lucky PS5 players were even able to play the demo, Sony has now locked out those users from playing it by removing the license for the demo. When visiting the PS Store page for the demo, the page now gives an error. Sony has now locked users out of the Stellar Blade demo, even if you already downloaded it. […]

PlayStation Ex-Exec Wants More AA Games, Exclusivity “Achilles’ Heel” with $200M+ Budgets

It seems like the gaming industry, at least the traditional console-driven industry, is rapidly approaching some sort of inflection point. Xbox is bringing more of their games to other platforms, amid consistent speculation they may be stepping back from the console business, and PlayStation is hinting they may pursue a more aggressive PC release schedule even as PS5 sales continue to outpace the PS4. Meanwhile, one publisher after another announces deep layoffs and cancellations. It can be hard to square what’s going on, as games are still selling well, and there are certainly many factors at play, but perhaps the […]

No, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth Are Not Coming to Xbox, Ever

Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the recently released second part of the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, won't be coming to rival platforms. Being dubbed a PlayStation console exclusive for one year, many Xbox fans hoped that the beloved remake of the 1997 classic would hit their platform at some point. After all, the game ended up releasing on PC in 2021 as well. Earlier this year, WindowsCentral's Jez Corden said that he had tentative evidence that there are discussions about an Xbox port of the game. According to Sony's Sony Interactive Entertainment's VP of second- and third-party content […]
