There's a new manga reading app coming to town, this time from the anime juggernaut that is Crunchyroll.
]]>As Microsoft brings more and more of its games to other platforms, you might be feeling some buyers remorse, but a new third-party Xbox Series X controller could help.
]]>The PS Portal is obviously meant to be a supplementary device, and some new data shows off some interesting play habits.
]]>We all know that Sony's live-action Spider-Verse is a hot mess, but Sony Pictures' CEO doesn't get why they haven't done well.
]]>One of the best games of the year, Astro Bot, served as a great reminder of how much great IP PlayStation has and doesn't use, but that might be changing.
]]>Yep, it's time to talk about video game boxes again. And the future. I know, I'm scared too. Anyway, a reasrach firm has had a go aty predicting what the next generation of console hardware will look like, and its verdict is this - one of PlayStation and Xbox will be able to achieve the kind of success it craves by avoiding landing in third place, while Nintendo'll be just fine.
]]>I'm not sure how they're still making Karate Kid movies, but they are, and the latest one just got its first trailer.
]]>Without a release date in sight, Sony finally confirms who's directing Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, but don't worry, they didn't just sign up.
]]>Kraven the Hunter isn't even out yet, but a new report has made it pretty clear that Sony is done with its SUMC for now.
]]>The first trailer for 28 Years Later is here, and if the full thing ends up being as good, we could be in for a strong Danny Boyle comeback.
]]>The first teaser trailer for 28 Years Later is here, and while it might really be emphasizing the tease, I'm still excited.
]]>Kraven the Hunter, whether it ends up being good or not, can at least promise violence, action, and… a story about family?
]]>In Sony's latest bid to get you to buy some tickets to see Kraven the Hunter, it's released the first eight minutes online for you to watch completely for free.
]]>Oh dear, there's a new 30th anniversary video from PlayStation, and it might just be poking fun at all your Bloodborne remaster requesters.
]]>Honey, wake up, another blatant rip-off just dropped, and this one is bound to cause legal troubles sooner rather than later. Tencent Games and subsidiary Polaris Quest have just announced Light of Motiram, a 'legally distinct' take on PlayStation's Horizon series. The biggest surprise? It's an MMO coming exclusively to PC (for now).
]]>Shuhei Yoshida, former president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios and champion of indies, has announced he's leaving the company after 31 years.
]]>Everyone knows how awful Sony's Spider-Man-less Spider-Verse has been, but the director of Kraven the Hunter thinks you should give his film a shot.
]]>Handhelds are clearly going to continue coming back in a big way, as now even Sony is reportedly developing a proper, non-cloud based portable console.
]]>Some Spider-Verse fans have spotted a big ol' neon sign the size of an apartment building in New York, and a few of them think it might be to do with the upcoming third film.
]]>A new report claims that Sony is looking to acquire FromSoftware's parent company Kadokawa Corporation, but that could actually be uncomfortable news for manga fans.
]]>You would have that the PS5 Pro's astronomically high price point might have had an impact on sales, but as it turns out, that's not the case.
]]>We all know that Sony's PSN requirement on PC is very unpopular, but the company has made it clear it has no intention to scrap it in the future.
]]>So, you’ve probably seen the reviews for the PlayStation 5 Pro. I’ve not had my unit long enough to give a full, critical breakdown yet, but I have had enough time with the expensive new bit of kit to figure out my early feelings on it. And it’s all quite easy to sum up: Sony is weird.
]]>Bang. While we're all waiting for more fun Death Stranding 2 teasers and info, the Director's Cut version of the original Death Stranding has been surprise dropped onto Xbox Series X/S.
]]>Yes, Jumanji is getting another sequel, and Sony has locked in a release date for the threequel.
]]>Insomniac confirmed last week that no new story content is coming to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but a new update will still likely be welcome to (some) fans.
]]>While there are plenty of FPS-heads out there who'd give an arm and a leg for Guerilla Games to put down the Horizon series it's spent the past decade getting off the ground and go back to making Killzone, it seems the studio itself is still pretty comfortable with the choice to switch to making adventures for Aloy.
]]>Sony has picked a release date for its live-action Until Dawn film, and it's picked the incredibly scary month of… April!
]]>Venom's in-world creator Knull is set to appear in The Last Dance, but according to the film's director, he won't be the main baddie.
]]>Hold those tears back, everyone, as Tom Hardy appears to have confirmed that Venom: The Last Dance is in fact the last dance.
]]>It's wild to think that Tekken has been around for 30 years, as long as the PlayStation itself. Though Tekken is now seen as one of the foundational IPs in the fighting game genre, that hasn't always been the case. The erstwhile 3D fighting series has observed the rise and decline of arcades, endured five console generations, sat through the rise of PC gaming, and spearheaded international online play whilst cultivating a community of fighting game fanatics over the decades. But why has it lasted so long where other games have fallen, and where does the series go from here?
]]>Sony has had a very mixed year when it comes to live-service games, but even so Guerilla's next game will reportedly be Horizon Online, not Horizon 3.
]]>It turns out that Sony was not particularly confident in the original PlayStation doing all that well.
]]>I'm all over the place when it comes to my thoughts on Sony's PS5 Pro. I want one, but I also can't do the financial calculations to justify buying one, even though I expect I'd save a whole load of mental energy if I just bite the bullet and get on with my life. Regardless of my own actions, many people will buy a PS5 Pro, and I expect a good chunk of those people might be Xbox Series X owners looking for the most powerful console on the market. Without Xbox releasing an Xbox One X equivalent for this generation, tech-hungry Xbox fans are left with only one choice: Abandon Xbox.
]]>Sony hasn't revealed the pricing for its 30th Anniversary PS5 collection, but one reliable leaker might have.
]]>I've gone through what I can only describe as emotional and financial turmoil over the PS5 Pro. My brain flicks between absolutely refusing to buy it and insisting I must buy it every other second I'm awake.
]]>Surprise, people who remember the late 1990s, or are somehow really passionate about a time during which they were just a glint in their father's eye or an actual foetus. PlayStation's revealed the PlayStation 30th Anniversary Collection. This is your chance to try and own a retro-liveried version of either the base PS5 or PS5 Pro everyone thinks is a bit pricey, plus some cool accessories/bits for it.
]]>I loved my Steam Deck. At one point I was using it daily as my main gaming platform. It fit my life better than consoles, gave me access to the wider (often cheaper) library of games on PC, and opened up a world of retro gaming. Everything was wonderful as long as I had my Steam Deck charged and nearby. But oh how quickly things change.
]]>Stop me if you've heard this before. There's a game that's so not old even dickheads in their early to mid twenties like me clearly remember it coming out and being able to buy it without necessarily having to beg our parents, and it's seemingly getting a remaster.
]]>Intel may have missed out on a signficiant PlayStation 6 contract, which would have seen the company's chips be used in Sony's next-gen console. This comes from a new report from Reuters, which claims that Intel may have ultimately lost out on the deal due to a disagreement on profit margins and concerns around backwards compatability.
The report, published late yesterday, cites sources which state that AMD has picked up the PS6 bag after Intel was no longer the frontrunner. This deal, if locked in by Intel and Sony, would have amounted to billions of dollars in revenue according to two of Reuters' sources.
The Reuters report states: "A dispute over how much profit Intel stood to take from each chip sold to the Japanese electronics giant blocked Intel from settling on the price with Sony, according to two of the sources. Instead, rival AMD landed the contract through a competitive bidding process that eliminated others such as Broadcom (AVGO.O), until only Intel and AMD remained".
]]>Much like Premier League football clubs signing new players on ridiculous length contracts to (here comes a simplified and likely incorrect statement) spread the cost and avoid coming foul of financial fair play rules, I've started to look at the PS5 Pro as a cost/reward per year-type situation. In the end, it all comes down to when we're going to get the inevitable PlayStation 6.
]]>In case you haven't heard, the PS5 Pro's a bit expensive. As was slapped across a barrage of rightly flabbergasted tweets and articles in the aftermath of the console being revealed on Tuesday, it'll set you back at least $699.99/£699.99. So, a lot of people have been asking, is it a no brainer to just buy a PC instead?
]]>My first console was the SEGA Master System. It was awesome. My second console was the SEGA Mega Drive. It was awesome. My sort-of third console was the SEGA Mega CD. It was awesome (to me). My fourth console was the Sony PlayStation. It was awesome. My fifth console was the Nintendo 64. It was awesome. My sixth console was the SEGA Dreamcast. It was amazingly awesome. My seventh console was the PlayStation 2. It was awesome. My eighth console was the GameCube. It was awesome. My ninth console was the Xbox. It was awesome. My 10th console was the Xbox 360. It was awesome. My 11th console was the PlayStation 3. It was awesome. My 12th console was the Wii. It was awesome. My 13th console was the PS4. It was awesome. My 14th console was the Xbox One. It was awesome. My 15th console was the PS4 Pro. It was awesome. My 16th console was the Xbox One X. It was awesome. My 17th console was the Xbox Series X. It is awesome. My 18th console was the PS5. It is awesome.
]]>There you have it folks: Sony has finally announced that oft rumoured PS5 Pro, but you're not going to like the price.
]]>A report recently claimed that Sony might be moving Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse to 2027, but the series' composer has set the record straight.
]]>Do you like boxes that can play the video games? Well, if so, you'll probably want to tune into the PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation that's set to air later today, September 10, and you can find all the details as to how to do so right here.
]]>It looks like Marvel has finally found a director for Spider-Man 4 in a familiar face - Shang-Chi's Destin Daniel Cretton.
]]>PlayStation has just announced a special livestream for tomorrow, and it just couldn't be anything other than the PS5 Pro, right?
]]>Have you even been made to take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain? Ricky Martin claimed that he had back in 1999, via Livin La Vida Loca, a song that you may well not like, but have almost definitely heard. The folks at PlayStation definitely seem to have heard it, having included the tune in a playlist that's arrived alongside what looks like it could be the first official tease of the PS5 Pro's design.
]]>It's sounding like more live-action anime projects are likely on the way, as Crunchyroll and Sony are interested in developing some.
]]>The latest trailer for Sony's newest Spider-Man film sans Spider-Man, Kraven the Hunter, is here, and there's plenty of blood and a little bit of, uh, The Rhino.
]]>PlayStation appears to be testing user-written reviews on the PS Store, meaning you'll be able to do more than just rate your games with stars.
]]>I've been having a tough time figuring out what I want to play recently, so I thought a good cure for that would be to play something a bit nostalgic. A favourite from my childhood, maybe, and while watching a very fun Ratchet and Clank speedrun from this year's Summer Games Done Quick, I quickly came to the conclusion that this was the one I wanted to revisit. It had been a while, after all, and despite getting right to the final boss, I never actually managed to beat the game, so I wanted to set myself the challenge of beating it.
]]>Sony has begun rolling out a new PlayStation 5 firmware update beta, and it’s one with somewhat of an unusual set of features. The new beta mainly includes three features that enhance what’s already there in interesting new ways.
]]>You're in luck, parents, as you won't have to play through Lego Horizon Adventures before your kid does just to make sure it isn't too dark.
]]>PlayStation Productions has a lot going on at the moment. Shows like Twisted Metal and The Last of Us are moving into second seasons, and movies like Ghost of Tsushima and Uncharted 2 are a go (but still a ways off). Another huge IP adaptation was Netflix's live-action Horizon Zero Dawn series, but it seems like it's been put off... for now.
]]>Demon Slayer - The Movie: Mugen Train made a very large sum of money at the box office, so of course the series is being capped off with three more films.
]]>It didn't go down well with Helldivers 2 players, but the upcoming hero shooter Concord will require PC players to connect a PSN account.
]]>Here, an odd looking new film from the director of Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks, has received its first trailer and it looks… static.
]]>The PlayStation VR2 is only a little over a year old, but it's sounding like Sony is already winding down its investment in VR titles.
]]>Don't worry, your PlayStation VR2 won't be gathering dust for too much longer, as you'll soon be able to use it on PC - if you're happy to spend more money, that is.
]]>You know, in all my years of watching anime, the one sub-genre I've never really gotten into is sports anime. To be honest, that most likely comes from the fact I just don't care for real world sports all that much - everything takes too long and the drama of it all can feel a bit too forced for my liking. But there is one series that I've been meaning to check out for a long while, and have consistently said to myself that I'll watch it eventually, because everyone I know that's watched it loves it more than anything: Haikyu.
]]>As weird as it is to write, Sony has said it's working very closely with Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto on the upcoming film adaptation.
]]>The latest Sony first-party release to make the jump from PlayStation to PC is Ghost of Tsushima. The Director’s Cut version of the game arrived on Steam and the Epic Games Store overnight to a very positive reception from players.

]]>As part of the details Sony Interactive Entertainment's recent earnings call that came out yesterday, the company shared some sales numbers for the PS5.

]]>Scott Pilgrim director Edgar Wright is seemingly in talks to direct a remake of '60s cult classic Barbarella, with Sydney Sweeney already attached to star.
]]>It’s rumored that Sony is set to announce God of War: Ragnarok for PC sometime this month.
]]>Sony has made three Destiny 2 expansions free to play through its Expansion Open Access incentive.
]]>It’s been a roller coaster of a week for Sony Interactive Entertainment, all thanks to the unforced error made with Helldivers 2. Out of the blue, the company, through developer Arrowhead, decided that all PC players would need to create a PlayStation Network account and link it to their Steam account if they want to continue playing.
]]>A recently published patent from Sony has revealed that the company is considering introducing a method to let your games play themselves.
]]>Sony, yes, the company behind PlayStation, is reportedly considering making a bid to buy Paramount, the massive media that currently has the likes of Nickelodeon and MTV, as well as Paramount Pictures and Paramount+ - though you might well have been able to guess those latter two - under its umbrella.
]]>You just never know what's coming next in the world of gaming, do you? Well, aside from layoffs. We already knew the director's cut of Ghost of Tsushima was coming to PC on May 16, but it turns out it'll be doing more than just letting you stab some fellas with a big samurai sword. It's gonna be the first game to use a new PlayStation overlay, which basically makes a lot of stuff you'll be used to seeing on your PS5 over to PC.
]]>Sony is still developing its live-action adaptation of One Punch Man, and it's brought on Rick and Morty writers Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell.
]]>This month, PlayStation Plus members can dive into the ocean with Dave the Diver and explore mystical realms in Tales of Kenzera: Zau. Plus, more games are coming to PlayStation as part of the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog.
]]>Horizon Forbidden West just arrived on PC, along with its Burning Shores expansion. Forbidden West is only the latest PlayStation 5 first-party title to make the jump to PC, but this is a special release, thanks to its implementation of leading Nvidia tech.
]]>Despite what you may have heard online, it isn't looking likely that we'll finally see a Tobey Maguire led and Sam Raimi directed Spider-Man 4.
]]>Years after Sony stopped making them, the now former PlayStation boss Jim Ryan might have finally revealed the total number of PS2s sold.
]]>It's sounding like some movement is being made on the MCU's fourth Spider-Man film, as Disney is seemingly eyeing up a Fast & Furious director.
]]>The latest PlayStation Stars digital collectible is a bobblehead of Jim Ryan, the soon to be former PlayStation boss whose last major act at the company is laying 900 people off.
]]>We all know how bad Madame Web is, including Sydney Sweeney, but for her it was just a business move.
]]>Madame Web was an absolute flop, so Sony is putting all eight live-action Spider-Man films back in cinemas to bring you back to the glory days.
]]>Remember the PlayStation VR2? No? That's understandable, as it seems that Sony is struggling enough to sell units that it's reportedly paused production on them.
]]>Get ready for a fun month with PlayStation Plus this March.
]]>Unicode 15.1 emoji support was added, meaning you have 118 emojis additional emojis available to use in messages.

]]>Venom 3 is moving up in the world, at least when it comes to release dates, and it has a fancy new name now too.
]]>Update: Following the publication of this story, the CEO of Implicit Conversions has issued a short statement to Time Extension stating that they can't "deny nor confirm anything about PS2."
]]>Deviation Games, a AAA developer backed by PlayStation, has been shut down before it was able to ship its first game.
]]>A recent update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has allowed access to the game's dev menu. This means that players can access developer tools, including god mode, access to Venom in free-roam, mission select, and even a look into an unreleased Beetle villian boss arc.
]]>Madame Web has been a disaster, and its lead actress knows it - so much so that she's said she'll probably "never do anything like it again."
]]>The player's choice nominees for the BAFTA game awards have been announced, and feature a wall-to-wall roster of absolute bangers for the public to pick a champion from. As the last major video game awards show for 2023 heavy-hitters, this could be the last chance for some of these games to take home a trophy come April.
]]>It turns out the idea to make the spider that bit Miles Morales come from another universe came from long-time Spider-Man comic writer Dan Slott.
]]>The latest trailer for The Garfield Movie is here, and I cannot begin to describe to you how little I felt watching it.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games for March, and the group contains a racing title, a martial arts romp, some stealthy horror, and plenty of sci-fi action.
]]>PlayStation has announced plans to lay off 900 people from its global workforce, as part of a reduction of the company's overall headcount by 8%. Several PlayStation-owned studios - including Insomniac Games, Naughty Dog, and Guerilla Games - will be affected, with PlayStation Studios' London Studio set to be closed entirely.
]]>Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's ending was apparently a bit of a last minute addition after test screenings were negative, and it all came together thanks to Star Wars.
]]>Sony has announced it is currently testing the ability for PS VR2 players to access VR games available on PC.
]]>The collector's amongst you probably won't be happy to hear that Disney is shutting down its long running physical media service the Disney Movie Club.
]]>Yes, just as everyone thought it would, Madame Web is a box office bomb - in fact it's doing so bad that it's set a new record for Sony's Spider-Man films.
]]>You've probably been seeing a lot of space marines on your timeline recently. That'll be in no small part thanks to the surprising, and slightly overwhelming, success of Helldivers 2, which has certainly adorned my timeline with numerous clips of human on bug-stroke-automaton action. It's a classic case of word-of-mouth, and funny and cool clips propelling it higher than any kind of ad campaign possibly could. Ironically, it's also all over the internet right around the same time that there's discourse (deep sigh) about Starship Troopers. Ironically still, Starship Troopers just so happens to be the perfect film to watch if you're loving Helldivers 2.
