San Diego Comic Con 2020 Cancelled April 18, 2020

Due to ongoing concerns due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, San Diego Comic Con 2020 has been cancelled. If you were planning to attend, the organizers have started the process of refunding tickets or offering passes for next year. Hotels in the area are also offering total cancellations for anyone who had made travel arrangements.

Due to the fact most of the other major events this year have already been cancelled (E3, QuakeCon, etc) this is an understandable disappointment. Video games regularly get previewed at SDCC, and comic book games like Marvel’s Avengers are scheduled to get released this year. Still, I understand this decision.

If you were scheduled to attend SDCC 2020, please check your emails for your refund options.

Sony Reveals Dualsense Controller for PS5 April 9, 2020

Sony has not revealed the final design of the PS5 console just yet but we did get our very first look this week at the all-new PS5 controller. Ladies and gentlemen, I present…the DualSense.

The DualSense controller charges via a USB-C port and features an internal microphone (with a separate mic port), touch sensors, and slightly reworked triggers, light emitter, and community features button. You can read all the details about it on the PlayStation Blog. I would like to be able to provide my own commentary about the controller but I feel at this point that is premature. Something like this requires actual hands-on time and I have not been privy to that as of the time of writing.
