For so many years, Sony has been leading that charge with PlayStation brand. We’re looking at the twilight of their fourth console, a machine that has helped not only make gaming more mainstream, but also more legitimate in the eyes of a public that once considered these devices to be nothing more than murder simulator boxes. So what does the future hold in store for PlayStation and gaming in general?

What’s old is new again! Hot off the backs of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon remasters, Activision is planning to bring back their trademark jorts-sporting marsupial for another remake of the past.

That being said, being good with one weapon doesn’t guarantee success in Apex Legends.

If you build it, they will come. If you build it properly, release it out of nowhere and you make it free, then buddy you better prepare yourself for a blitzkrieg of interest.

Point is, is that Respawn has done well this week.

The cult favourite kings of the classic RPG games available at the time, was easily those set in the Forgotten Realms. High fantasy, rules pulled straight from Dungeons ‘n Dragons and gloriously long storylines were the trademarks of these titles. They’ve been around for ages, long enough to earn an enhanced edition or two and even see release on mobile platforms. Now, those classics are finally making the leap to console.

If Final Fantasy wants to distinguish itself for future entries in the franchise, it’s going to need to revisit its roots eventually and recapture the magic that made Square Enix’s original game a breakout success so many years ago. Something that Final Fantasy XIV director and producer Naoki Yoshida would love to see in the next core numbered game.
