Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Sony has presented the PlayStation 5 Pro as the quinessential mid-generation refresh, boasting far more impressive graphics and fidelity from the base console. At a price point that some gamers will find difficult to justify, Sony has a long road ahead of themselves to prove why gamers need such an impressive graphical powerhouse when a powerful GPU upgrade could be obtained for the same price on PC.
We might never get a proper Bloodborne remake, or even a current-gen remaster, but that hasn’t stopped fans from continuing to experiment with their own spin-offs of FromSoftware’s dark fantasy action game. The latest is called Bloodborne Top Down Aren...

Slitterhead is an experience that's fantastic in still shots or in story trailers but the actual gameplay becomes a muddled mess when the player is forced into repetitive chase and combat sequences.
Several games, such as Dragon's Dogma 2 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, sport significant improvements in performance and image quality on the PlayStation 5 Pro, judging from some early footage that started making the rounds. A few hours ago, YouTube user Gabriel Master started sharing footage of multiple games running on the new console launching worldwide this week, such as The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Demon's Souls, and others. In some cases, the new console brings significant improvements, such as in Dragon's Dogma 2, which runs way better than it does on the base model, […]
The first PlayStation 5 Pro teardown video was shared online today, providing a better look at the new console launching in a few days worldwide. The video, which was shared on YouTube by Brazilian channel TAG, provides a good look at the console's internal components, cooling solution and more, and it is a very interesting watch even for those who don't speak Portuguese and want to see how much the console differs from the base model. As confirmed in the teardown video above, the PlayStation 5 Pro features a major repairability improvement that grants easy access to the system's CMOS […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro features a major repairability improvement that is usually not found in video game consoles. Judging from a picture of the system that's been making the rounds, the soon-to-be-released console features a slot that grants quick access to the CMOS battery. This battery is an extremely important component of gaming systems, as it powers the CMOS chip that stores important hardware information and may prevent a system from functioning properly, as was the case for the PlayStation 4 before Sony issued an update to fix the issues related to a bad or missing CMOS battery. Thankfully, it […]
Two days ago, Sony announced the closure of two PlayStation Studios: Firewalk, maker of Concord (reported to have cost over $200 million and shut down mere days after its launch), and Neon Koi, which would have attempted to bring some of Sony's prized IPs to mobile. Now, the CWA (Communications Workers of America) has released a rather scathing statement accusing Sony of furthering its gaming monopoly with the layoffs. They also plan to share their concerns with antitrust regulators. Here's the relevant excerpt from the statement: This devastating news comes on the heels of record layoffs across the video game […]

The PlayStation 5 Pro has started arriving in stores ahead of next week's launch, as confirmed by pictures making the rounds online. One of the pictures, which can be found here, shows the front and back of the system's box, which provides information on the box's content and the system's basic features. Funnily enough, the 8K sticker that was found on the base model's launch box is nowhere to be seen, highlighting how that crazy high resolution is no longer considered a marketing point, even though the system is actually capable of running games at 8K resolution, such as Gran […]
