Despite only offering a streaming solution for years now, PlayStation Now will start rolling out the ability for users to download PS4 and PS2 games directly to improve the playing experience.

In the face of more powerful smartphones and the Nintendo Switch however, Sony’s grand plan to beat the Big N at their own portable game has sadly come to an end.

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?

Sony’s still not backing down on the cross platform play argument, suggesting that the reason they’re not opening the gates is because PlayStation is the best place to play. Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia Conference, Take-Two chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick had some fair words of warning for Sony.

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.

Sometimes a grand romantic gesture can be pulled off with months of planning and anticipation. Other times you're stuck with an unwanted proposal in one of the year's biggest videogames.

Spider-Man certainly does a lot more than a spider can, but Insomniac might have a trick or two to teach him when it comes to sublime swinging.
