The PlayStation 5’s sales momentum - currently held back by stock shortages - will finally overtake the PS4’s equivalent selling speed by 2024. In a financial presentation last night, Sony exec Jim Ryan noted that, despite a strong launch, PS5 sales were lagging behind PS4 in its equivalent second year owing to supply constraints. Those supply constraints are due to both the Covid pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine, but remain a top priority for Sony....

In the last few years, the PC gaming market has seen a resurgence of players and enthusiasts. Whether that’s because of the hardware sector, with more GPU brands and iterations than you can shake a stick at, or the sheer amount of titles available, the market continues to flourish. That’s one reason Sony may be banking on the PC gaming market, literally. A new report suggests that the company will continue pushing its first-party titles out to mouse and keyboard gamers with the expectation of making upwards of $300 million from PC games....

Atlus has released one of its daily trailers focusing on the many demons of its upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2. This time around we get to see the return of another rather exotic demon, Melon Frost, who debuted like Strawberry Frost in the original Soul Hackers, and then appeared very rarely in the Shin Megami Tensei series. As usual, the trailer also includes the daily horoscope, which places Leo at the top of the fortune ranking and Virgo at the very bottom....

Final Fantasy 14 producer and director Naoki Yoshida has said third-party tools are not to be used with the MMORPG. Square Enix released a full statement yesterday, noting “the use of third-party tools is strictly prohibited”. However, the team intends to “review the most prominent tools, and in order to discourage their use, endeavour to enhance the functionality of the HUD”. The news follows the completion of the notoriously difficult Dragonsong’s Reprise raid added in the latest patch....

Maybe now more than ever, we all need some hope in our lives. And historically speaking, almost no genre-based series – save perhaps fellow elder sci-fi statesman Doctor Who – is better than giving us that kind of story than Star Trek is. We all want to boldly go, after all. And we all want to believe in the ideals of Gene Roddenberry’s universe, in his vision of an optimistic future where humanity has finally embraced its better angels and works together to explore the stars....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. For a generation of Star Trek fans, the name Jean-Luc Picard is as synonymous with the franchise as the likes of James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock and the Enterprise herself. The news that CBS All Access is bringing Captain Picard back to television for his own solo series has the show’s fans demanding the producers give it all four (or was it five?...

This Steven Universe Future review contains spoilers. Steven Universe Future Episode 10 Review Aha, you thought all those Watermelon Steven’s in earlier seasons of Steven Universe were pointless! No no, they were actually all just establishing his ability to create new versions of himself. I’m glad they did because Cactus Steven is without a doubt the show’s best metaphor so far. He says the Gems don’t need him anymore. It’s obviously not true but Steven is in such a depth of despair he can’t believe anything but the worst… and Cactus Steven repeats it all back to him....

Today’s Ubisoft Forward livestream event was filled with the typical Ubisoft fare. A shooter here, an open-world action game there. Heck, there was even a remake for good measure. But one announcement that really stood out was the return of the classic arcade-style brawler from the last generation: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition. The classic brawler is returning later this year. The announcement was hinted at by the creator of the original comic, Bryan Lee O’Malley, on Twitter less than a month ago....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Steven Spielberg ruined sharks. Not movie sharks, that is, but the real ones that are now forever associated with eating swimmers. No amount of lovely David Attenborough documentaries could save their reputation after Jaws came out in 1975, and ‘Galeophobia’ is now one of the world’s most common fears. Sharks are even apparently the one thing that Donald Trump is really frightened of (along with stairs, immigrants, and former porn stars)....

Jay “sinatraa” Won looks set to finally return to professional Valorant following allegations of sexual assault and subsequent suspension from the Valorant Champions Tour back in March of 2021 by Riot Games. The former Overwatch-turned-Valorant player was at the time playing for North American team Sentinels but was then benched to a content role before leaving for good toward the end of last year. After having served his six-month suspension, which was issued because sinatraa failed “to fully cooperate with the investigation,” he is free to once again compete....

One of the animators working on the Sonic the Hedgehog movie has shared what it was like to give the blue blur a makeover after the ill-starred first reveal trailer (via Nintendo Life). The consensus on the original Sonic the Hedgehog design was calamitous. Lots of people disliked the too-realistic, too-humanoid look, and it was ridiculed and memed into oblivion. Literally. Paramount Pictures and Sega vowed to change the character’s design and postpone the movie’s premiere so that Sonic would be welcomed with open arms, this time around....
