PlayStation Wins E3 2021 Three Months After the Show Ends

New DVD release, , ,
While the PlayStation team never really referred to their recent September showcase as their E3 2021 presentation, the buzz surrounding the event suggested that it was going to essentially be the show that Sony would have put on if they didn’t choose to stop hosting traditional E3 conferences and if the Covid-19 pandemic didn’t likely help wreck whatever presentation plans they may have had for June. In any case, PlayStation finally got to have their big 2021 presentation, and it wasn’t just an incredible show in its own right; it was arguably the show that “won” E3 2021 nearly three…

PlayStation September Showcase Predictions: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and More

New DVD release, , , , ,
On September 9 at 4 p.m. EST, PlayStation will host a special showcase event that some are already calling the company’s long-awaited E3 “makeup show.” While Sony is obviously stopping short of referring to it as such, the consensus seems to be that this will end up being the PlayStation team’s biggest event of the year. That being the case, predictions for this show are running a bit wild at the moment. To hear some PlayStation fans tell it, this show is going to feature pretty much every dream PlayStation announcement you’ve ever heard of and the exclusive reveal of…

Marvel’s Avengers Roadmap Shows How Bad Spider-Man’s PlayStation Exclusivity Really Is

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The Marvel’s Avengers team has revealed the game’s upcoming content roadmap, and the relatively thin release schedule really goes to show just how dependent the game’s immediate future is on its controversial PlayStation exclusive Spider-Man DLC. The big stars of Marvel’s Avengers‘ upcoming content release schedule (which you can find below) are the game’s first raid and the long-awaited addition of Spider-Man to the online action game’s roster of playable Marvel heroes. Otherwise, it seems that the biggest things that Marvel’s Avengers fans have to look forward to until 2022 are some recycled events, a power level cap increase, “earnable…

15 Hardest PlayStation One Games of All-Time

New DVD release, ,
The PlayStation is fondly remembered for its classic collection of revolutionary games, advancements in 3D technology, and CD player functionality that let you easily play the Men in Black soundtrack whenever you wanted. As you’ve probably guessed from the title of this article, though, it’s also the home of some of the hardest games of the ’90s. The PlayStation may have helped move us out of the arcade era and its notorious difficulty levels, but with the challenges of 3D game design came a new set of in-game challenges that tested a generation of gamers in ways that they simply…

PlayStation Bets on Big Games as Game Pass Slowly Wins a Console War

New DVD release, , ,
When someone asked me during the PS4/Xbox One era which console they should buy, I usually told them “PlayStation 4.” In a generation that usually allowed fans of both consoles to play the biggest third-party games, Sony’s emphasis on major first-party titles simply left them with the greater quantity of exclusive games and, in my mind, the greater quality exclusive titles as well. It really just came down to the idea that owning a PlayStation 4 put you in a better position to buy the next major console exclusive that you might be interested in. In some ways, then, I…

Why PlayStation Store Closing on PS3 Should Matter to You

New DVD release, , , ,
After weeks of rumors, Sony has confirmed that they’re closing the PlayStation Store on PlayStation 3, PS Vita, and PSP starting on July 2.  While you will still be able to access your digital content on those platforms via certain methods after that day (and download previously purchased items of that date) you will no longer be able to download new digital content via the PlayStation Store on those devices past that point. I recommend that you check out Sony’s full list of rules and restrictions related to this decision for a clear understanding of what you will and will…

Resident Evil: The Many Ways the PlayStation Game Was Changed

New DVD release, ,
1996’s Resident Evil is on any respectable shortlist of the most influential console games of all-time. While it didn’t invent the idea of horror gaming, it popularized that concept in such a way that makes it almost impossible to imagine how the horror genre would have ever thrived in gaming without it. Despite being so influential for its combination of concepts that once defined a genre and an era in gaming, the original Resident Evil was hardly the product of a clear creative vision crafted by those who were confident that their work would change gaming forever. If anything, you…

Xbox Live Price Increase Is a Big Win For PlayStation

New DVD release, ,
Microsoft recently announced that they are increasing the price of Xbox Live Gold. While this change will not affect existing customers or those who renew their membership in the near future, the price of an Xbox Live Gold membership will be adjusted 45 days after customers receive an email notification that the price of the service in their region is being changed. At that time, the new price of Xbox Live Gold will be as follows: 1 Month – $10.99 3 Months – $29.99 6 Months – $59.99 While Microsoft says “the price of a 1-month Gold membership is increasing…

Does Cyberpunk 2077’s PlayStation Store Removal Make it The Worst Launch Ever?

New DVD release, , , , ,
Late last night, Sony revealed via the PlayStation website that they have decided to honor refund requests for those who purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via the PlayStation Store. More importantly, they have decided to remove Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store “until further notice.” Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red was quick to respond to this decision with one of their “yellow background tweets of doom” that have come to define the year in Cyberpunk 2077 updates. In it, the team noted they were aware of Sony’s decision and are still working to improve the game and get it back on…

Xbox Series X/S Can Run PlayStation 2 Games

New DVD release, ,
You probably know that one of the biggest selling points of the Xbox Series X/S is Microsoft’s extensive backward compatibility program, but we bet you didn’t know that the consoles’ backward compatibility abilities are so extensive that they’re capable of playing more classic PlayStation games than even the PlayStation 5. According to the YouTube channel Modern Vintage Gamer (and other software researchers), the Xbox Series X/S’ can relatively easily be turned into some of the most powerful and appealing video game emulators in the world. How is that possible? The video above has the full details, but the basic idea…

PlayStation 5 Review

New DVD release,
It’s easy to forget because if how hard it is to actually buy one, but the PlayStation 5 is finally here. With it comes Sony’s hopes to not only further the legacy of the PS4 but surpass the success of arguably one of the most beloved consoles of the last 20 years.  While few consoles have written the final word on their legacies so early in their lifecycles, it’s rare that a console gets to make a successful second impression after a bad launch. A console’s debut not only sets the tone for the rest of its run, but it…

Are Xbox Series X Load Times Fast Enough to Beat PlayStation 5 at Launch?

New DVD release, , , ,
One of the more notable talking points in the early days of the Xbox Series X vs. PS5 debate has been load times. After all, each console boasts a high-end SSD that could eventually change the way that developers approach game design and will certainly reduce video game load times in the short-term. While Microsoft and Sony are both clearly excited by the many ways that SSDs will change console gaming, the PlayStation team has been especially vocal about the PS5’s SSD as one of the console’s biggest selling points. We’ve spoken before about why the PS5 SSD is unique…

PlayStation 5 Faceplate Lawsuit Explained

New DVD release, , ,
We recently reported on a company called Customize My Plates which opened pre-orders for custom PS5 faceplates through the clever domain name PlateStation5.com. Many people (including ourselves) were surprised to learn that there was already a company selling PS5 faceplates ahead of the PS5’s release on November 12 or even the formal reveal of the ability to swap out PS5 faceplates. Well, it seems that Sony was also quite surprised by Customize My Plates’ announcement as they’ve exerted some legal pressure on the company which not only forced them to change their domain name but cancel all the pre-orders they’ve…

Why PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X Will Drive the Future of Gaming Graphics (and Not PC)

New DVD release, , , , ,
If push came to shove, I’d choose my PC over a PS5 or Xbox Series X over the next five years or so. It just comes down to personal preferences. I love mods, I love a mouse and keyboard, I love being able to relatively easily access decades of PC gaming history, and I’m excited about the increased support of the PC platform by studios like Sony and Sega as well as Microsoft’s commitment to bringing most of their games to PC via Game Pass. You may notice that I didn’t mention graphics: one of the cornerstones of most PC…

Why the PlayStation 5 vs. Xbox Series X War Won’t Be Won With Console Sales

New DVD release, , ,
In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, PlayStation CEO reiterated his belief that the PS5 can potentially break the PS4’s sales records but surprised many by noting that he doesn’t believe victory in the upcoming Xbox Series X vs. PS5 war will be measured solely by console sales. “It’s become a lot more nuanced,” Ryan says of console sales figures. “For example, one reference point, we sold a lot of PS2s, but many of them were at $99, on a format that was very, very heavily pirated. Right now the metric is engagement, and that obviously can be judged across two axis:…

PlayStation 5: Best Features of the DualSense Controller

New DVD release, , ,
The PlayStation 5 has already made its way into the wild as media members, celebrities, and other industry figures already have their hands on the next-gen console and its DualSense controller. Actually, it’s the DualSense controller that’s making the biggest impression so far. While early PS5 owners only have access to one next-gen title at the moment (built-in platformer Astro’s Playroom), that game effectively serves as a showcase for both the abilities of the PS5 console and the many ways that the console will be defined by the abilities of its controller. That may sound sensationalist, but a quick rundown…

What Makes the PlayStation 5 SSD Unique?

New DVD release, ,
The potential of the PS5 SSD has been one of the console’s biggest talking points ever since Sony confirmed that the device will take advantage of one of the biggest hardware advancements to hit the mass market in the last decade. PS5 developers everywhere have been praising the PS5 SSD, and the most adamant PS5 fans will quickly tell you about all the wonderful things the console’s SSD will finally make possible. All of that hype may leave you with the simple question: “What makes the PS5 SSD unique?” That’s a more than fair question that’s complicated somewhat by the…

PlayStation 5’s Launch Can’t Be Worse Than the PS2’s

New DVD release, ,
Expectations are high for the upcoming launch of the PlayStation 5, but the truth of the matter has always been that a console’s launch is typically a poor indicator of its future success. Historically speaking, there’s no greater proof of that argument than the launch of the PS2. The PlayStation 2 may be the best-selling console ever made, but its infamous launch was hindered by shortages, disappointing games, and explosive rumors. It was a rocky debut for a console that millions of gamers consider to be the greatest ever made, but twenty years removed from the horrors of simply trying…

PlayStation 5’s Best Custom Faceplate Designs Show Off the Console’s Style

New DVD release, , , , ,
If you’re not happy with the PlayStation 5’s white/black/blue color scheme (which Sony seems fairly committed to as the official console colors), then you should know that the recent PS5 teardown video and various leaked reports indicate that the PS5’s faceplate will be removable. In fact, there’s at least one company (PlateStation) that is already offering a few custom PS5 faceplate designs that you pre-order ahead of the console’s November 12 release date. Now, we should point out that Sony has not released an official guide for swapping your PS5’s faceplate and that PlateStation is not officially associated with Sony.…
