The guys over at Insomniac Games have confirmed earlier today that the highly anticipated PS4 exclusive Spider-Man game they been working on has Gone Gold. Gone Gold is something we typically report on for games we’re looking forward to playing. Its a long-time game developer term, referring to the gold finish of the disc a finished game is printed on. Essentially, this means Spider-Man is done and we’ll be able to play it for sure in a little over a month from now. This is fantastic news, as Sony will have no problem making the game’s release date.

Shenmue: Return to Dobuita Street Documentary July 25, 2018

We are a month away from the highly anticipated re-release of two of the most beloved SEGA games of all time, Shenmue I and II. While originally developed for the Sega Dreamcast, the games broke new ground on open-world interactive environments. However, as this documentary shows, the environments used in the original game were not imagined, they were based on real locations you can visit today.

Sit back and relax while two Shenmue superfans visit the actual real-world locations recreated for the original games in anticipation for the upcoming re-release.

We missed out on the Shenmue series back in the day due to several factors. Over that time we’ve endured constant reminders of the game’s greatness and so we are very happy SEGA is porting them to current consoles.

Shenmue I & II HD is coming August 21st, 2018 to PC, Xbox One and PS4.
