Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered is finally out on PS4. And it seems like SIE Russia is refusing to release it on Russian PS Store.

The PlayStation 5's operating system sounds like it's really going to prioritize speed and efficiency above all else, putting that high-speed SSD to very good use in the process. That's a far cry from the PlayStation 4's current dashboard, which almost instantly slows to a crawl as soon as you boot up a particularly intensive game. That'll hopefully be an annoyance of the past, however, as Kotaku's Jason Schreier has shared one of Sony's pitches to developers as it attempts to turn playing a PS5 game into something "as easy as Netflix".

One of the most iconic games of the PlayStation 4 generation, Guerrilla Games’ Horizon Zero Dawn, expanded on the open-world genre in new ways and collected a heaping serve of Game of the Year awards when 2017 came to a close.

One of the biggest hits of Sony Interactive Entertainment in this generation was not to sell about 100 million consoles, but to be able to lay the foundations for new (or renewed, in some cases) video game that have been able to sell more than ten million units (a significant figure for a single exclusive game). We talk about titles like Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man and God of War.

Back to the future.

In what is almost certainly the most wholesome video of 2020 so far, Destiny content creator Fallout Plays and his pal Ryan (AKA fellow streamer, Rhythm) helped carry a 9-year-old child to max rank in Destiny 2’s competitive multiplayer playlist.

Sony’s various regional branches have historically acted largely independently but beginning last year PlayStation has been attempting to unify its divisions. We saw an example of this in a recent marketing campaign, which was consistent across the entire globe, but emphasised different brands depending on the region.

Sony’s PlayStation 4 sales were down 25 percent year on year this holiday season, with the company shipping 6.1 million units for a total of 108.9 million as of the end of 2019. It’s the lowest holiday quarter for the PS4 since its launch period in 2013.

EA COO and CFO Blake Jorgensen claimed PS5 and Xbox Series X are significantly more powerful than existing consoles and the software being created for them will amaze consumers. “I don’t want to get ahead of our great partners Microsoft and Sony, but you should assume that the power of those consoles are going to be a lot better than the power of the existing consoles, which means a really simple thing, we can do a lot more,” he said.

Believe it or not, the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One released almost seven years ago. For some, the time seems to have passed in the blink of an eye; for others, the wait for the next generation of consoles has felt like an eternity. Whether you're ready for it or not, times are changing. The big two have bumped against the upper limit of what consoles are capable of, and it's time for yet another jump into the future.

I was born on the south side of Glasgow. I was heading for a life of crime in my teens because I was in with some bad people. After a brush with the law, I headed as far south as I could go before I hit the sea. I ended up in Brighton.

Excuse us while we go gossip column for a hot minute, but several Sony executives have been spotted in the San Francisco area. Recently minted Worldwide Studios chief Hermen Hulst was the first to post that he was in the area, but then Sucker Punch communications boss Andrew Goldfarb and indie evangelist Shuhei Yoshida were both snapped in the city.

It's 2020, which means we are less than a year away from the release of the PlayStation 5. That [...]

Sony has acquired a patent for a PS controller design with back buttons.

On Dec. 26, Sony was approved for a patent on a new type of PlayStation controller. The patent is on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) database, but it isn’t quite clear what Sony intends to do with the controller. The design itself is similar to the familiar DualShock 4 design that most players are used to with the PlayStation 4. The new controller has the same layout for its face buttons, directional pad, and analog sticks. The only real departure on the front of the controller is that there’s no PlayStation button visible on the patent design.

Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017) has shipped 6.8 million units. This new figure, when combined with official in-game player stats, suggests that the game has achieved an impressive milestone of reaching more than 1 million PSVR players, making it perhaps the most successful VR title on any single platform.
