It's Sony's decision, ultimately
God of War Ragnarok hasn't even gotten a confirmed PlayStation 5, PS4 2022 release date yet and here we are already discussing the possibility of a PC port.

News The New Uncharted Film Poster Isn't Particularly Exciting
Nathan drab
Yep, that's a typical movie poster with a bunch of headshots all edited together. Forgive us but we can't muster up much excitement for this latest Uncharted film poster.

PS Plus rumour feeds the flames

Reaction Can We Chill Out About Sony's Commitment to PS4, Please?
🙄
This week it was reported that Sony would produce a further one million PlayStation 4 consoles through 2022, and the Internet lost its mind. This agenda was partly pushed by an increasingly irritating media, with some of the headlines including Expect More Cross-Gen Games As Sony Orders 1 Million PS4s. There aren’t enough eye-rolling emojis...

News Motorstorm Director Joins Firesprite As Twisted Metal PS5 Changes Dev
Tooth ache
Update: As spotted by ResetEra, veteran Motorstorm director Matt Southern has left his job at Lucid Games to join Firesprite. It might be safe to assume that Southern was involved with Sony's new-gen Twisted Metal reboot, which has changed developer from Lucid Games to Firesprite.

Hands On God of War PC Is a Great Way to Play a PS4 Classic
RT-Axe on
In 2018 Sony Santa Monica shipped God of War, a soft reboot of the fan-favourite action-adventure trilogy that traded the Greek pantheon for Norse mythology.

News Sony Reportedly Planned to Cease PS4 Production at the End of 2021
PS5 shortages mean it'll keep going, though

News Horizon Forbidden West Leak Is Real, Full Game Could Be Spoiled, Says Report
Aloy, Aloy
Update: According to VGC, the recent Horizon Forbidden West leak is probably real. Sources have told the publication that the full PS4 game — minus some missing art assets — is out there in the wild.

News Resistance's Pitched Open World Reboot Could Have Been a Good Time
Shot down
The never-ending cup that is ex-Sony Bend director Jeff Ross runneth over with more inside secrets on ideas that will presumably not come to fruition. You may remember that the Days Gone man recently hinted some work had started on an open world Resistance game, following the studio’s decision not to proceed with a sequel to Deacon St. J
News Rejected Days Gone Sequel Would Have Swimming, Better Animals
And a more dynamic open world, director reveals
Another day, another Days Gone article. The director of the original game, Jeff Ross — who left Sony Bend at the end of 2020 — can't stop sharing details surrounding the developer itself, management, and the scrapped plans for a sequel at the moment. After sharing some fairly unreliable stats on...
News Days Gone's Reported 8 Million Sales Not Necessarily Accurate
But director Jeff Ross stands by numbers
Update: We thought this story was perhaps over, but apparently not. Since conducting yesterday's interview with David Jaffe, director Jeff Ross has posted on Twitter: "I stand by my numbers." At this point, we're probably never going to know how many units Days Gone sold unless Sony explicitly tells us. Not...

News Supply Constrained PS5 Sold Almost 1 Million Units in Japan in 2021
But heavily outsold by Nintendo Switch
The PlayStation 5 sold 942,798 units in Japan throughout 2021, according to retail data compiled by gaming bible Famitsu. The system has been supply constrained globally all year, so this figure effectively reflects shipment totals for the new-gen system in Sony’s home territory. It’s not a bad number in...
News Nothing to Announce on PSVR2 Backwards Compatibility, Says Sony
Probably don't expect it
Is PSVR2 backwards compatible with original PSVR games? It seems unlikely, given the distinct differences in tech. Sony’s new headset utilises inside-out tracking to detect its PSVR2 Sense controllers, while the original employed a standalone camera and PS Move wands. Even if you assume the platform holder could hurdle the...

Soapbox Sony's Bet on PSVR2 Is Brave and That's a Brilliant Thing
Innovate or stagnate
I saw a tweet earlier this week that basically said, amid heightened competition from Microsoft and Nintendo, Sony could do without the distraction of PSVR2.

One of the most iconic moments in the Uncharted franchise is the cargo plane sequence.

Deity damage
Here’s an interesting little tidbit coming out of Saudi Arabia: God of War Ragnarok has been rated for release.

Soapbox Sony's First-Party Exclusives Will Shine Once Again in 2022
Horizon! God of War! Gran Turismo! More?
