As we’ve reported, Sony is interested in acquiring new studios to have more exclusives in the PlayStation portfolio. But that’s just one part of the overall strategy at the company.

On Twitter over the weekend, Mochizuki shared that Sony’s, “spending a lot of resources to strengthen ties with AAA game publishers as it believes next-generation PlayStation is ‘a niche product for core users....

This November will mark the fourth anniversary of Star Wars Battlefront II, and while a Star Wars Battlefront 3 felt like a surefire thing in the months leading up to that game, a catastrophic launch and downright impressively poor player reviews led to missed sales targets and the eerie sense that EA might opt to cut its losses and shut the door on the beleaguered franchise....

My search for the perfect gaming headset has been long and exhausting. I’ve made stops at a few of the better-known hotspots, like Astro and Sennheiser, but something was always missing. With Astro, the mic always fell a bit short. With Sennheiser, the ear cups were leather and uncomfortable, and I couldn’t easily connect the headset to my PS4 and PC at the same time. Then I tried the SteelSeries Arctis Pro + GameDAC, which came so close to being perfect, but unfortunately fell short of my needs in a substantial way....

Indie games are a hit and miss thing. Sometimes they are really great and sometimes they are really bland. However, even when they are good, they may suffer from the fact that not all that many people knew about the game in the first place. Here’s a game that we think you should keep an eye out for: Shelter 2. That’s right, 2. This is the sequel to the original Shelter that released in August of 2013 where you played as a mother badger, fending off the wilderness and trying to raise your baby badgers as best as you can....

Sonic’s redesign is taking its toll. Last month, the first official trailer for the upcoming live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie was revealed and many fans were… less than enthusiastic. In fact, fans of the blue blur were so outraged by Sonic’s live-action design that the movie’s direct, Jeff Fowler, stated that his team would be completely remaking the character’s design for the final product. Of course, a redirect of this scale couldn’t go without consequences, and now we know what they are....
