Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has only been available for three days, but the critically acclaimed sequel has already become the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in the brand’s history. In a press release, Sony Interactive Entertainment states that over 2.5 million copies of the game have been sold within the first 24 hours of launch. The publisher didn’t provide a breakdown in terms of physical vs digital, but that’s an impressive number for the PS5 exclusive. This feat continues the series' re...

Sony has shifted more than 2.5m copies of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in just 24 hours. The eye-catching total makes the Spidey sequel Sony's fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game ever - referring to releases made by the company's own studios. That ginormous launch means Spider-Man 2 hit the 2.5m copies milestone faster than any God of War, Uncharted or The Last of Us. It's also faster to that total than Spider-Man 1.

SpaceX has struck a deal with the European Space Agency (ESA) to launch four of Europe's Galileo navigation satellites into orbit using its Falcon 9 rocket, The Wall Street Journal has reported. It'll be the first time Elon Musk's company has launched any EU satellites containing classified equipment. The ESA had planned to launch Galileo satellites using its homegrown Ariane 6 rocket, but the latter has seen frequent delays and isn't expected to make its inaugural launch until 2024 at the earli...

When is the RoboCop Rogue City release date? While the RoboCop franchise is no stranger to game tie-ins, they were all basic run-and-gun shooters of varying quality. Rogue City is more than that: an exploration of the dilapidated drug-fueled future city of Old Detroit through the lens of the 1980s, where corporate entities try to solve crime with experimental technology, with varying degrees of success. As technology in the real world evolves, more complex games are commonplace, and RoboCop Rogu...

A crash course in 'Carpetless'. The 'holy grail' of Super Mario 64 techniques has recently been perfected by the speedrunning community and it is capable of finally achieving a sub-1:37 time for 120-star runs. The technique in question is all about bypassing the slow carpet ride required to nab the 'Big House in the Sky' star on Rainbow Ride. 'Carpetless' runs have been a known possibility since 2009, though nobody had been able to successfully utilise the technique in a full run to shave off an...

Recently I highlighted that the Nintendo 3DS emulator Citra was doing a big move over to Vulkan, giving it a modern rendering system to keep on pushing performance. The latest updates also give a big boost for Linux / Steam Deck.

Between Diablo 4, Path of Exile, and dozens more, the entire ARPG genre is looking pretty healthy right now.

Last Epoch promises more unique items, more character classes, and better crafting than Blizzard’s stellar, Sanctuary-set sequel, and is set to take on the very best in action role-playing games with ...

Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra issues a response, albeit a brief one, to the idea of a Diablo 4 and Final Fantasy XIV crossover from the latter’s director, Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida. With FFXIV Fan Fest London taking place over the weekend, Yoshida expressed interest in a Diablo 4 crossover with the MMO, but was unsure of how it would work.

What's scarier than a 10-foot tall, indestructible Xenomorph lurking about and stalking you to your death? Yes, you guessed it - Thomas the Tank Engine. Modder Matt Filer has given us exactly that, with a new mod he released earlier today. This also marks the first mod which swaps the Xenomorph out for something else, Filer says, which is quite surprising. Alien: Isolation seems like the perfect fodder for this kind of thing, but a quick scan on Nexus Mods shows indeed, there aren't any mods whi...

May I have this high-score challenge? 2024 is on the horizon, which means it’s high time for Ubisoft to step onto the dancefloor with its latest Just Dance offering, Just Dance 2024 Edition. If you look back on our review of 2023’s entry, we mentioned that it significantly improved the tried-and-tested formula, boosting the visuals nicely while allowing players to remove the constant reminders for the game’s subscription service, Just Dance+, which has 300 more songs. It made for an experience t...

When asked about a possible third Spider-Man game, Spider-Man 2's creative director Bryan Intihar likened the sequel to the MCU's Captain America: Civil War. Speaking on Skill Up's Friends Per Second podcast, conversation with the developer turned to a "hypothetical" third main game in Insomniac's Spider-Man series. Inthar was understandably quiet for a good while, clearly not wanting to give too much of the studio's plans for the series away. However, after some careful deliberation, the develo...

2023's mass eradication of the games industry continues with reports of layoffs at Sony Interactive Entertainment and PlayStation Studios. It's unclear how extensive these losses are - Sony have yet to provide comment, at the time of writing - but they appear to include staff at PlayStation's Visual Arts studio, based in San Diego, which supports developers like The Last of Us creators Naughty Dog and Spider-Man 2 creators Insomniac.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has taken less than four years to develop thanks to team chemistry. Between 80-90 percent of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake development team have continued their work on Rebirth, allowing for efficient development, its director has said. "It was quite clear who to go to if we had a certain question or problem we were trying to solve," director Naoki Hamaguchi told Bloomberg. "We were able to work together as a team, achieve this great flow and tempo of game development."

Developer Remedy has finally officially released the official system requirements for Alan Wake 2, just ahead of its upcoming release. To a lot of people's horror, the highly-anticipated sequel has some of the most demanding PC specs, and the use of DLSS and FSR2 are a necessity if you want to unlock the mysteries of Bright Falls without issue.

Onward and Upward! You might remember that prior to the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder last week, we mentioned that the option to mute the game's talking flowers entirely seemed to be a thing. Many of you responded quite positively to the news, with some commenting that "The voices are awful" and "That'll be the first thing I do when I start the game". While the game does offer up a number of options for the talking flowers (including voice on / text off, and vice versa), it seems that many ...
