Analogue‘s highly-anticipated Pocket handheld gaming device has now been hit with a third delay. Announcing the news over on Twitter, the company says that it now hopes to start shipping the Pocket out in December after manufacturing was affected by Coronavirus-related delays. “Unfortunately, due to new [COVID-19] restrictions with our assembly partners, their capacity to deliver within our agreed timeframe has been affected,” explains Analogue in a statement. “This has created a domino effect of delays beyond our control in what would otherwise be a seamless process.” “We understand how frustrating this is.

Shortly giving fans a first look at the game’s main villain, Square Enix has now dropped yet another trailer for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy over at the PlayStation Showcase 2021, this time throwing out a comedic yet action-packed look at Star-Lord and his band of misfits. Shown on top of a catchy rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack, the two-and-a-half-minute clip shows off more of the game’s main characters and their personality traits, especially spotlighting a rather comedic Star-Lord that is very much reminiscent of James Gunn‘s take on the Guardians for Marvel Studios back in 2014. Aside from the protagonists, we also get closer looks at the Universal Church of Truth and Grand Unifier Raker, but the highlight for fans are no doubt the appearance of Cosmo the golden retriever astro...

Amidst all the news coming out of the PlayStation Showcase 2021, rumors of a Sony PlayStation 5 Pro model have now surfaced. Reports note that Sony is now developing an upgraded model of the PS5 with improved performance to deliver for the 8K gaming segment. The potential version of the next-gen console is expected to be equipped with AMD‘s Embedded G-Series SOC platform, a high-performance, low-power System-on-Chip (SOC) design to provide up to 8K resolution. Along with a CPU powered by the new AMD RDNA and Zen-based 5nm architecture for an enhanced gaming experience. Reportedly set to be priced at $600-$700 USD, the rumored Sony PlayStation 5 Pro model is now expected to arrive in either 2023 or 2024. In case you missed it, Peter Parker and Miles Morales will face Venom in Marvel’s Spide...

After announcing the game during the Summer Game Fest this year, Gearbox Software has now dropped the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Borderlands spin-off Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Spanning a little more than two minutes, the new clip showcases a whole host of first-person shooter gameplay in what appears to be a fantastical world full of mythical and magical creatures like enchanted skeletons. Aside from obviously containing all kinds of whacky weapons and guns, the tone and visuals of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands naturally draws heavily from the original Borderlands franchise, but with an added element of witchery. “We want you to explore and try all the different ways to use your firepower,” says creative director Matt Cox in a post on the PlayStation Blog. “In tha...

After a long eight-year wait since Gran Turismo 6, Polyphony Digital has finally announced the release date for the highly anticipated Gran Turismo 7 on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Now scheduled to release on March 4, 2022, the latest installment to the beloved driving and racing simulator will maintain many of its old modes and features as well as introduce brand new mechanics and experiences. Fan-favorites such as the extensive livery editor or tuning process will both be making a return while the game upgrades its race circuits, inventory of collectible cars, and even weather simulations. “GT7 is both the culmination of the series which answers the expectations of GT fans throughout the years, and at the same time it is a title that marks a beginning of a difficu...

Insomniac Games is developing a standalone Marvel’s Wolverine game lead by creative director Brian Horton and game director Cameron Christian who recently ran development for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. A recently revealed 45-second announcement teaser offers a glimpse into the intricate and colorful world the game is set in. The game is still in early development but based on Insomniac’s past titles and what we’ve seen so far it looks promising.  “In the vein of our Spider-Man games, our goal here is to not only respect the DNA of what makes the character so popular, but also look for opportunities to make it feel fresh and truly reflect the Insomniac spirit. Even though Marvel’s Wolverine is very early in development, from what I’ve seen of its emotional narrative and c...

According to a post on the PlayStation blog, Ryan Schneider, Head of Franchise Strategy & Studio Relations at Insomniac Games, noted that the studio wanted to “not only want to tell a great Super Hero story, but also deliver a compelling h...
