News Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade PS5 Download Size Is Still Huge
Must be all those new textures
The PlayStation 5 can make use of impressive compression tech to help cut down on file sizes, but Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade hasn't seen much of an improvement over its PS4 predecessor.

Mini Review Mighty Goose (PS5) - Bombastic 2D Shooter Is Really Good Fun, Despite Frustrations
Honk if you're brawny
Mighty Goose is a chaotic side-scrolling shooter in which you play as a cybernetically enhanced goose. This particularly aggressive bird is an intergalactic bounty hunter, and the game's loose plot takes you to a number of sci-fi locales as Goose brings justice to the baddies. It's all suitably dumb right from the word go, and...

Cross-play shooter coming this summer
After the Fall's post-apocalypse doesn't look particularly inviting, does it? Not that any post-apocalypse is all that cosy, but this example looks especially harsh.

News Horizon Forbidden West Will Have a 60fps Performance Mode on PS5

One of the advantages of designing and releasing games on both PlayStation 5 and PS4 is that it virtually guarantees the required headroom for 60 frames-per-second, and like most of Sony’s first-party titles this generation, Horizon Forbidden West will be no different. Speaking as part of an interview with Singapore News Live,...

News Sony Explains How Second-Party Fits into Its Software Slate
It's all PlayStation Studios
For years among enthusiasts there’s been a debate over games made by independent studios published by a platform holder.

News Sure Sounds Like Horizon Forbidden West May Have Flying Mounts After All
Fly, Aloy, fly
For many fans, the existence of a PlayStation 4 version has categorically ruled out the existence of flying mounts in Horizon Forbidden West – after all, how could the ancient hardware cope with a feature so awesome? To be fair, we’ve had planes in last-gen games like Far Cry 5 and Just Cause 4, so it never seemed impossible to us...
News Arashi: Castles of Sin Is Ghost of Tsushima for PSVR
