  News Capes Takes a Swing at Turn-Based Superhero Tactics on PS5, PS4

  Fighting crime one turn at a time

  News Final Fantasy 7 Remake Producer Says Narrative Changes 'Necessary' to Keep Players Interested

  Be careful what you wish for

  Final Fantasy VII Remake really could have gone either way, looking back. Remaking a game as iconic and important as the original Final Fantasy VII was no small feat, but thankfully Square Enix delivered the goods, and we got the outrageous Honey Bee Inn dance scene we deserved. As anyone who played through to the end...

  News Yes, You Can Play Non-VR PS5 Games with PSVR2's Cinematic Mode

  And they'll look pretty tasty

  For many original PSVR owners, Cinematic Mode offered a novel alternative way to enjoy non-VR content on the PS4.

  News Social Strategy Marvel's Midnight Suns Was a Critical Darling But Commercial Flop

  Dead cruel

  A few months removed from the release of Marvel’s Midnight Suns, we’re still not entirely sure what to think of it.

It was...

  Talking Point Should Sony Be Worried by Live Service Implosion?

  Boom or bust
