News Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Won't Have Any Playable Side Characters
All Miles, all the time
One of the criticisms thrown at Marvel's Spider-Man is its use of playable side characters. Though you spend the vast majority of the game in control of Peter Parker, the PlayStation 4 exclusive occasionally has you play stealth missions as Mary Jane, and other characters too. These segments are slower paced and less fun than...

Six months later
After many years of waiting, Final Fantasy VII Remake finally released on PS4 earlier this year, all the way back in April. And in all of that time since, the game has never received an update. A rarity for a big budget title these days. But now, with no prior warning, Final Fantasy VII Remake patch 1.01 has landed. You can...
Druids and the siege of Paris
Ubisoft has detailed its rather daunting plans for Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The open world adventure will receive not one, but two "massive" expansions in 2021 as part of the game's season pass, and both sound really interesting. The first is titled Wrath of the Druids, and it's aiming for Spring 2021. It'll take...

News Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Clip Shows an Empowering Story Moment
Spidey spoilers
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is named after the novice superhero for a reason.

News Konami Says Legendary PS4 Demo P.T. Won't Play on PS5
But let's wait and see
It was only a demo at the end of the day, but it really does feel like P.T. was one of the defining releases of the PlayStation 4 era.

News Sony Looking into Feedback on Roundly Criticised PS4 Party Changes
"Thanks for speaking up"
To be fair to Sony, we can see what it’s trying to do with Parties on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Effectively, it wants them to be more Discord-esque, enabling you to communicate with your pals in a variety of different ways. The problem is that this change comes at the expense of the simplicity of the previous...

Pow
As part of its cover story, Game Informer is continuing to trickle out footage of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales running on PlayStation 5 hardware.
