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 […]

The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC version might be announced soon, according to new insider Silknigth, who previously leaked the Ghost of Tsushima PC announcement in advance. The leaker said the official announcement is expected at some point in April. They also added there would be a 'longer-than-usual' period between the announcement and release. Usually, PC ports of Sony games are launched just a few months after they were announced. In this case, fans might have to wait a bit longer, but the fact that we're still early in the year suggests there's a solid chance to see […]
Controversial as it may have been in some circles, there's no denying The Last of Us Part II is among the finest games ever put out by Naughty Dog. Ellie and Abby's story may not be everyone's cup of tea, but no one can deny that the second entry in the series greatly enhances its predecessor's formula, bringing it to extreme heights. These extreme heights have possibly become even higher in The Last of Us Part II Remastered. While the base game hasn't changed at all, it's the No Return roguelite mode that shows how amazing the gameplay of the […]
Being a roguelite mode, The Last of Us Part II Remastered's No Return play mode can feel overwhelming, especially during the first couple of runs. With upgrades and weapons having to be procured as the run proceeds, you need excellent knowledge of the game's combat mechanics to complete runs successfully. And yet, things are not as complicated as they may look like at a glance. No Return mode is actually quite manageable if you keep a few things in mind as you plan your run and defeat all the enemies that will get in your way. How to Complete Runs […]
The Last of Us Part II Remastered expands the experience of the original PlayStation 4 release with a couple of extra play modes. Among them is the No Return Mode, a roguelike take on the game's formula, complete with multiple characters with different abilities and playstyles that make this mode quite fun. At the very start of your No Return adventure, however, you will only be able to pick Ellie or Abby. Every other character has to be unlocked by completing certain tasks. How to Unlock All Characters in No Return Mode in The Last of Us Part II Remastered […]
2023 was a landmark year for horror (check out Wccftech's Best Of here), delivering the super-ambitious Alan Wake 2, a pair of rock-solid remakes in Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space, excellent indies like Amnesia: The Bunker, and more. 2024 may not be quite as strong, but it largely keeps the ball rolling down a similar horrifying path, with a couple of new remakes (The Last of Us Part II Remastered and Silent Hill 2), new entries in fan-favorite series (Alone in the Dark), and some promising indies (Still Wakes the Deep). Those dark days when it looked like survival […]
As is often the case, the folks at PlayStation have released a hype video for the new year, showcasing some of the games that will be arriving on PS5 in 2024. In addition to generally being a fun watch, the trailer also essentially confirms 2024 releases for a number of games that hadn’t solidified a release window yet, including Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the Silent Hill 2 remake, and Firewalk Studios’ mysterious PvP shooter Concord.

Keeping track of all the latest video games coming out is an increasingly complex task, what with multiple PC storefronts, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and more to keep track of, but don’t worry, I’m here to help. Every month I'll be running down the games you need to be keeping an eye on, from the big triple-A headliners, to the intriguing indies you might otherwise overlook. January usually isn’t a particularly active month, but 2024 is actually getting off to a fairly hot start, with the likes of Tekken 8, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Naughty Dog’s expanded […]

Following the announcement of The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Entertainment Weekly reached out to Naughty Dog's Head of Creative and Co-President (not to mention writer and director) Neil Druckmann to get a comment on the controversial plot that sparked many heated fan reactions.

It’s ultimately up to fans to decide what does and doesn’t stand the test […]
Last week The Last of Us Part II Remastered was revealed to the world, with Sony and Naughty Dog promising new visual modes, cut levels, the new “No Return” roguelike mode, and more. Now, courtesy of a new TLOU2 Remastered website, we have a bit more detail on some of these features. First, on those restored “lost levels” – per The Last of Us Part II Remastered website, they’ll be named Sewers, Jackson Party, and Boar Hunt. We don’t know exactly what these levels will entail or where they’ll place in the overall narrative, but we can make some educated […]
The Last of Us 2 Remastered's new "No Return" roguelike survival mode will reportedly feature at least twelve different levels. After various rumors, Sony and Naughty Dog officially announced the remaster packing the brand-new mode last week. Some minor details about this survival mode were shared, but apparently, a Naughty Dog QA tester has revealed some interesting details about "No Return" on his LinkedIn resume (thank you @Joanastic) via @TheLastofUsNews). "Created, implemented, and tested AI dialogue regions in-engine across 12 different No Return roguelike level layouts in The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered", the QA tester mentions in his […]
