  • In a recent earnings call (via Spiel Times), Sony’s chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki revealed the company still hasn’t nailed down the PS5 price. Unsurprisingly, the cost of production will likely make the next-gen console more expensive than the PlayStation 4. One leak priced the PlayStation 5 at around $499 but, with Sony not even sure of the price, it could be difficult to nail down exactly how much the PS5 will cost. “It’s a balancing act it’s very difficult to say anything concrete at

  • After spending years in beta, Nvidia’s GeForce Now game-streaming platform is finally available to the public on PC, Mac, Nvidia Shield and Android devices. ‘Founders’, what Nvidia calls GeForce Now paying subscribers, will be looking at $4.99 per month (£4.99, €5.49, around AU$7.50) for the first 12 months of service, though that number could change after that first year is up. In some ways, GeForce Now solves a lot of problems plaguing Google’s game-streaming streaming service – namely, the la

  • Sony has quietly launched the PS5’s official website ahead of the next-gen console’s release in late 2020. Initially spotted on Reddit (via GamesRadar), the website offers fans the chance to sign-up “to be among the first to receive updates as we announce them, including news on the PS5 release date, PS5 price and the upcoming roster of PS5 launch games”.

  • Another week, another PlayStation 5 rumor… the latest PS5 leak claims that Sony’s next-gen console will be revealed at a PlayStation Meeting in March, with pre-orders opening as early as March 5. That’s according to Twitter user @PSErebus, who previously correctly leaked the Last of Us Part 2’s initial release date; however, we’re still pretty skeptical about the user’s claims. They also claim that pre-orders for the new Gran Turismo will begin in “Spring 2020” (so March-May), that GTA 6 will re

In total, 1917 won seven BAFTAs, while Joker grabbed three, a strong result for any movie that’s (vaguely) based on a comic book character.

  • Fans of blockbuster films can always expect the Super Bowl to deliver the goods when it comes to ‘Big Game’ spots for the year’s biggest upcoming tentpole films. However, the rise of streaming services has seen more television shows jostle for some time in the spotlight, and Disney Plus has done just that by offering our first look at its upcoming slate of Marvel Studios television shows.

  • PS Now, or PlayStation Now, was a fascinating experiment when Sony launched the game streaming service back in 2014. Google Stadia was launched in 2019, offering its own ‘negative latency’ game streaming to devices we never thought we’d see AAA titles running acceptably on: tablets, laptops, and even smartphones. For Sony to convince gamers that PS Now is a service worth buying into, some big-name PS5 games will be needed early on. Project xCloud could prove competitive with its smartphone suppo

The rumors that Platinum is even thinking about The Wonderful 101 began when the studio posted a photo of Director Hideki Kamiya to Twitter. In the photo Kamiya is flanked by a monitor which reads 1:01 and a Nintendo Switch. If these reports do prove to be true, this would be PlatinumGames’ first

  • LG Display has big plans for OLED TVs in 2020 – but LCD is increasingly getting left behind. The Korean electronics manufacturer reported lower-than-expected losses for the previous financial year (via Reuters), and it’s due in a big part to increasing revenues from OLED TVs, which could have big repercussions to the LG TVs available for you to buy. In fact, LG is so confident in its forecasts for OLED TVs that its shutting down domestic production of LCD panels. But what does this mean for the

  • The PlayStation 5 is less than a year away and we can’t wait to get our hands on what we’re expecting to be some fantastic PS5 games. So we’ve put together a list of all the PlayStation One games we want to see remastered for Sony’s PlayStation 5. However we’re hoping that Konami can either remaster the original games or reboot the series entirely for PS5 – and it may happen according to these rumors.

  • Also PC gaming. We did see a leak appear earlier this week that suggested that the PS5 would be faster than the Xbox Series X based on some very questionable logic. And, because it’s a desktop PC part, it’s going to be clocked a lot higher than whatever ends up in the PS5 or Xbox Series X. And I get it, consoles are way way way cheaper than the configuration I just haphazardly mentioned. So, what are you doing waiting for the Xbox Series X or PS5?

We’re going to speculate anywayNo matter how awesome it would be if ultrawide resolutions were supported on the Xbox Series X, we’re definitely skeptical. If ultrawide support were to be enacted on the Xbox Series X, game developers would have to – brace yourself – add resolution options for their games. If you take a look at games like Gears 5 and the

  • JBL has launched its latest true wireless earbuds, the JBL TUNE 220TWS, which sport a surprisingly low battery life for the price. The Tune 220TWS come with just three hours of battery life in the buds themselves, with a further 16 hours provided by the charging case – that’s 19 hours in total. Admittedly the new JBL earphones are cheaper than Apple’s earbuds, at $99.95 / £99.99 (around AU$150) – but that price doesn’t necessarily justify that short battery life. The Lypertek Tevi, for example,
