PlayStation

For more than 25 years, Sony’s PlayStation has been synonymous with gaming. It’s given players experiences like God of War, The Last of Us, and Final Fantasy VII alongside technological innovations from CD-ROMs all the way up to 4K, VR, and cloud gaming. There have even been attempts at portable gaming with the PSP and Vita. Across multiple generations the company has been a pioneer, starting with the original PlayStation and continuing with the PS5.

The PS5’s Community Game Help feature has arrived.

You can update your console now to gain access to the feature, which offers community-generated hints for supported games like Granblue Fantasy: Relink and the upcoming Stellar Blade.

Stellar Blade on PS5 has flash and fun but is mostly dull

While the combat is challenging and rewarding, it takes far too long to get to the good stuff.

Sony is abruptly shutting down LittleBigPlanet 3’s servers and wiping out 16 years of player-created levels.

When Nintendo shut down Super Mario Maker’s servers, it gave players over three years to enjoy and document their own work before the bitter end.

But PlayStation isn’t giving fans time to say goodbye: it’s yanking the rug. Hope you saved a copy of your level locally!

Overwatch 2 targets console cheaters using XIM, ReaSnow, and Cronus devices.

Like Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty, and Destiny 2, the developers of Overwatch 2 are going after players who use “unapproved peripherals” to combine the precision of mouse and keyboard controls with the aim assist granted to controller players.

Over the next few weeks, there will be permanent account bans against players who are the most severe abusers of unapproved peripherals. These actions will be targeted towards high-ranked players who have been reported by others and who our data clearly shows are using an unapproved peripheral.

You can own the gigantic “PlayStation Experience” trailer Sony used to market the PSP.

Imagine partying in this thing.

It’ll just cost you $70,000, a trip to St. Louis, new tires, a blown head gasket repair for the generator, a lotta elbow grease, and chasing down all the right TVs, game systems, and games to bring it back to spec. Way more pics at the Facebook Marketplace listing (via Reddit, IGN).

Capcom plans updates for Dragon’s Dogma 2 that will let you start a new game.

At launch, there was no easy way to delete a save or start a new game once a save file existed — something PC modders quickly added. Today, Capcom shared that it will make starting a new game a native feature of Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Besides, that, the developer is targeting some quality-of-life and technical fixes.

Aspyr issues a patch for Battlefront Classic Collection.

You’ll have to wait on the certification process to get the fix on the PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch though, according to Eurogamer.

Go read Digital Foundry on the PS5 Pro.

The most trusted source for console analysis has just corroborated and analyzed the leaks.

“Those hoping that PS5 Pro will turn CPU-limited 30fps titles into super-smooth 60fps experiences will be disappointed,” writes Richard Leadbetter — but he thinks PS5 Pro “should be able to deliver a far higher perceptual increase in resolution vs PS5 than the PS4 Pro did against its junior variant.”

Lots more nuance here, including how PS5 Pro has 1.2GB more RAM for games:

More rumored specs for the PS5 Pro.

Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming reported GPU specifications and performance targets for a “PlayStation 5 Pro” on Friday, and now he says that just like the recently revised PS5, the Pro will also have a detachable disc drive.

Other new details include rumors of faster memory running at 576 GB/s (a 28 percent boost over the PS5), better audio performance, and a new “High CPU Frequency Mode” that boosts performance by 10 percent over the standard PS5.

You can already make your character for Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Capcom has released the game’s incredibly customizable character creator on Steam, PS5, and Xbox series S/X ahead of the full Dragon’s Dogma 2 release on March 22nd.

You can create up to five companions and main characters respectively, which can then be transferred to the base game at launch — allowing you to jump right into the monster clobbering action.

Ignore the “development game menu” in the latest update to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

The Spider-Man 2 update adding features like New Game Plus, time of day options, mission replay, and more, arrived today. But players quickly discovered something wasn’t right with version 1.002.000, which included a “development game menu” that wasn’t meant to be there. Players who poked around told Polygon they found cheats and more.

Insomniac Games later warned players not to tinker with the menu or risk corrupted saves. A hotfix is on the way.

MLB The Show 24’s new innovations include... women.

Basketball, soccer, hockey, racing, and combat games have increasingly featured women athletes and women’s leagues, and now MLB The Show has caught on.

The announcement that you can play as a woman includes real-life athlete Kelsie Whitmore, who plays in the MLB-partnered Atlantic League. With its Road to the Show storyline, The Show will be one of a few sports games where your created character can potentially play in the top men’s league.
