First Details of Spider-Man Remastered Released September 30, 2020

Sony has just published the very first concrete details for Spider-Man Remastered, an updated version of the PS4 game Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) for the PS5. Since this game is only being included in the PS5 version of Spider-Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition, gamers wanted to know more about how the game worked and what to do to play it.

First off, this remaster is not coming to the PS4. If you own a PS4, and you already have a copy of the game, your PS4 copy will continue to function on your PS4. PS4 game owners are also not eligible for a free upgrade to the Remastered version. That said your PS4 copy will play fine on the PS5 as it does on the PS4. You just won’t be able to use the new PS5-only features being added.

The only way to be eligible to get the PS5 version of Spider-Man Remastered other than buying the Miles Morales Ultimate Edition, is to buy the PS4 version of Miles Morales (which should be eligible for a free PS4 Upgrade) and paying a fee to get Spider-Man: Remastered as DLC.

Here’s a look at what 60FPS mode will look like:

Oh and if that’s not enough for you? One of the three exclusive costumes that’s going to be included in the new version of the game will be based on the suit Andrew Garfield wore in the film Amazing Spider-Man. Up until this point it was the second most demanded Spidey suit online (the first being the suit from the Sam Raimi movies).

Spider-Man Remastered is coming to the PS5 on the same day Spider-Man: Miles Morales is releasing.

Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance Now On GOG September 29, 2020

“The nuclear disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island in Alaska’s FOX Archipelago, was attacked and captured by NEXT GENERATION SPECIAL FORCES being lead by members of FOX-HOUND.”

PC players can rejoice, two of my favorite games of all time have just been rereleased for purchase through GOG.com, Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance. Old school 8-Bit gamers will also be happy the original Metal Gear for the MSX has been ported and put up for sale as well.

If you’re curious as to why these games were released, you need to remember that these games were not platform exclusive back in the day. Konami did port them to the PC many years ago, but due to the incredible amount of time that passed since then, modern PCs were not as able to run them due to compatibility issues. These are clearly updated versions of the PC ports improved for use on modern PCs.

iOS and iPadOS 14.0.1 Released September 25, 2020

Apple has just released a minor but important update for iOS and iPadOS. The new version is listed as 14.0.1 and contains non specific bug fixes weighing in at around 125MB.

Given the fact Apple will not list specific fixes in its update menu, my guess is that this update contains a security fix of some sort. You can download 14.0.1 right now through your smart device’s Software Update feature or through iTunes.

Halo 3: ODST Released on PC Today September 22, 2020

Back in 2009, Bungie released one of my favorite games of all time on the Xbox 360, Halo 3: ODST. It was later rereleased on the Xbox One as a downloadable gift for people who bought Halo: The Master Chief Collection at launch (due to that game’s extreme issues). Today, it is on PC. Here’s the launch trailer.

Halo 3: ODST is out now on PC and Xbox One.

Microsoft Buys Bethesda September 21, 2020

In an enormous announcement today, Microsoft has confirmed they purchased Bethesda’s parent company Zenimax, essentially purchasing Bethesda and all the companies operating under Bethesda’s publishing empire in one swoop.

If my math is correct, that means Microsoft now owns all of the IP currently under Bethesda’s name including DOOM, Wolfenstein, The Evil Within, Quake, Fallout, Commander Keen, Dishonored, RAGE and PREY. That also includes upcoming games including Ghostwire Tokyo.

Microsoft and Bethesda executives seem quite happy with the deal. Honestly, many players have been disappointed with the output coming out of Bethesda recently and this could mean an improvement in the company’s upcoming products. Me personally, I just hope this means they’ll bring the old Fallout Xbox game Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel as a digital download on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

We will keep you up to date with any upcoming developments on this deal.

Marvel’s Avengers 1.3.0 Patch Notes September 18, 2020

An enormous patch for Marvel’s Avengers, which should include fixes for a lot of the game’s most important issues, is being sent out on all of its platforms as I write this.

If you’d like to read the complete patch notes you can check it out here. Just be aware it’s quite a read. There’s nearly 1000 fixes in this update.

I know a lot of people have been attacking this game’s stability since it launched but having completed its single-player campaign I can say that despite its issues I had a blast playing it and felt it’s story could stand alongside tons of great Marvel comic stories over the past half a century. If you are a fan of these characters the game really should get checked out.

Marvel’s Avengers is out now for Stadia, PC, Xbox One and PS4. It is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.

Night City Wire Episode 3 Released September 18, 2020

The third episode of Night City Wire, the ongoing preview series of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game, was released earlier today. This particular episode focuses on Night City itself, the gangs, and offers some new perspectives of the game’s atmosphere. It’s a bit shorter than previous episodes but still with a watch.

The developers have promised a fourth episode is coming.

Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to PC, Xbox One and PS4 November 19th, 2020. It is also coming to PS5 and Xbox Series S/X.

Happy 15th Anniversary Indigo Prophecy! September 18, 2020

Fifteen years ago, a (then) little known French developer called Quantic Dream released a game unlike anything we had seen before, you may know it as Faherenheit or Indigo Prophecy depending on your region. Directed by David Cage, who would go on to direct games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human, it was a unique game with an incredible story.

Here’s an interview with the game’s director to celebrate its anniversary!

Fahrenheit or Indigo Prophecy is out now on multiple platforms including PC, Xbox and PS2.
