At the end of last month, Sony began selling an updated version of the PlayStation 5, expected to hit Japan September 15 and the rest of the world at a later date, the CFI-1200 PS5 features a significant weight drop. The sale of the new console came shortly after the company announced a price increase for the PS5 set to hit much of the world due to global inflation. Thanks to a teardown of the new CFI-1200 Sony PlayStation 5 by YouTuber Austin Evans, we learn that the console is more efficient with an estimated 10 percent reduced power consumption. Sony was able to achieve the feat with a smaller heatsink, reworked motherboard, and shrunken internal packaging, though the PS5 delivers roughly the same noise and heat output. Evans theorizes that consumers will be paying less for electricity ...

Shortly after releasing an exclusive look at the game’s new revamped combat mechanics with Game Informer, Sony and Santa Monica Studio have now tapped to release another look at God of War: Ragnarok‘s gameplay, this time focusing on Krato’s elemental moves. Just like the lead combat designers Mihir Sheth and Denny Yeh explained previously, one of the biggest changes to the way the Olympian can take down his foes is to infuse the weapon he’s wielding with either ice or fire. With the Leviathan Axe, Kratos will be able to channel Frost Awaken to make his attacks stronger and slow down enemies, while the Blades of Chaos can channel a fiery Whiplash that’ll set opponents ablaze for some damage over time. There are also updates for both Stonewall Sheild and Dauntless Sheild that gives the ...

Almost two years after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally getting its first proper expansion from CD Projekt Red, but you’re going to have to own a next-gen console or PC to play it. Just like the full game, the new Phantom Liberty DLC is also set in the crime-ridden Night City, where you’ll continue to play as V alongside Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand in what’s dubbed a spy thriller adventure. The task involves espionage work for the New United States of America, although other details revolving around the story remain scarce at this point. Most notably though, CD Projekt Red has decided to keep the expansion exclusive to next-gen platforms, meaning those on the Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will not be able to play it. On top of Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk 2077 will ...

More than a year after announcing the game and months of closed beta testing, Gundam Evolution has finally received a release date from Bandai Namco Entertainment. The new team-based FPS title plays very similarly to Blizzard‘s fan-favorite Overwatch, featuring two teams of six Mobile Suits that will try to eliminate each other while capturing objectives. There’ll be timed respawns so you won’t get kicked out immediately after a death, but there’s also a countdown timer for objectives. At launch, there’ll be 12 different Gundam units to choose from, all of which are iconic in their own right, ranging from RX-78-2, Guntank, and GM to Sazabi, Zaku II, Dom Trooper, Turn A Gundam and even Barbatos. As you play through the three current game modes of Point Capture, Domination and Dest...
