The Blockchain isn't just used in the realm of cryptocurrecy, and Sony is attempting to leverage its power to create an entirely new form of DRM for its products.

Anyway, the PlayStation’s Trophy system has always been the benchmark for just how much of a game you’ve managed to truly finish. I’ve never felt the need to go for the full platinum streak, but for other people it’s a way of life. And then you get gamers such as Bahraini A-Hakam, who has a staggering number of platinum trophies.

Why lament what already is, when you can live vicariously through some photos of the event itself? The main stage may not have much appeal this year with its focus on superglue, paintball and radio stations taking over, but at least the rest of the Dome is filled with plenty of booths! From gaming setups showing off Fallout 76 to the always popular artist’s alley, here’s a virtual tour of rAge 2018 for you to walk through.

Sony isn't hosting PSX this year, but developers have given hope to PSN name changes still being actively worked on for deployment in the near future.

Sony is skipping a 2018 showcase of various upcoming games, for reasons. The primary one? They just don’t have enough content to show off and justify the annual extravaganza.

Creating that new suit was something that Insomniac had to do if they wanted to stand apart from all the other Spider-Man games that had come before them. How do you even build a costume that carries legacy, renewal and an iconic sense of self?

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a brave reimagining of the wallcrawler that also serves as a reminder of just how important the icon is, as a symbol of inspiration and rising up to find the hero inside. If it weren’t for Sony, we’d probably have never seen this incarnation realised.

Of course there’s a new PlayStation coming. Likewise, there’s most certainly a new Xbox One coming in the relatively near future. This generation of consoles has done exceedingly well, and the two biggest traditional consoles have both been powered by AMD. It was almost guaranteed that AMD would be supplying the guts for the next generation of consoles, and in an interview with CNBC, AMD boss Lisa Su confirmed as much.
