 The PlayStation 2 is to date Sony's biggest success and the best-selling console of all time. In the last official update we had from the company, it was stated that the hardware had passed the 155 million units sold mark. Now, during the newest episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast, which featured a special appearance from Jim Ryan himself, we have new data. During the program, the former head of PlayStation updated the numbers, stating that the console reached 160 million units sold. The number of 155 million was from March 2012, with the console having stopped being manufactured in January 2013. There may possibly no longer be a significant sales update, considering the lack of hardware availability. The hardware that came closest to the PS2 was the Nintendo DS portable, which reached 154 million units. The Nintendo Switch, meanwhile, is the third best-selling in history, currently at 139 million units. As this Nintendo hybrid is still active, it remains to be seen whethe...

  Although it is a community for all ages focused on gamers, part of Twitch ended up creating a tendency to bring more sensual content. However, it seems that some people took this too far. Recently a streamer ended up standing out for deciding to play Fortnite using her own butt as a screen. Wearing green shorts, she used her own body parts as a way for players to watch the game. With the trend catching on, Twitch itself had to intervene, and it seems that it will no longer allow this type of action. According to the platform, Twitch's “content is always evolving,” so it needs to regularly update the rules to deal with “emerging behaviors.” Twitch recently updated its rules of conduct, which states that lives focused on private parts will no longer be allowed. "Content that focuses on intimate parts of the clothed body, such as the buttocks, groin or breasts, for long periods of time", is cited as one of the prohibited points in the rules. Over the past year, Twitch has ...

  In recent weeks we have had a large number of rumors about a possible improved model of the PlayStation 5. Among the leaks, the supposed specifications of the console were released, which according to IGN, are real. So far, Sony has not confirmed whether it intends to launch the PS5 Pro, but it seems that even before this supposed console was launched, several studios stated that the PS5 Pro should not exist. According to new information shared by GamesIndustry's Christopher Dring, he claims that during his conversations at GDC 2024, several studios feel that the PS5 Pro is unnecessary and many of them feel that they are not even taking full advantage of the potential of the standard PS5. "Developers don't really seem to feel like they need the PS5 Pro, at least those I've spoken to. Many of them feel like they're not even taking full advantage of the potential of the standard PS5."

  Marvel’s Sipder-Man 3 is one of PlayStation’s biggest bets for the coming years. After the enormous success of the first titles in the franchise developed by Insomniac Games, many people are looking forward to what is to come in the saga. And, apparently, concept art of the title's main antagonist “fell online”. [Spoiler alert for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and possibly Marvel’s Spider-Man 3] The content is still the result of the hacker attack suffered by Insomniac last year, and appears in a supposed presentation slide for the game.

  With the launch of the New Game+ of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players noticed a curious detail right at the beginning of the campaign. It references Venom's costume and indicates a good reason for the public to discard this skin at least in the first hours of the adventure. Last weekend, a “bonus” Spider-Man costume went viral on social media. This is because, if players enable the symbiote's uniform to fight against Sandman, the result will be somewhat disastrous. Internet users are calling Peter Parker “Poo Man”, as the combination of the symbiote's properties with Flint Marko's sand considerably changes the color of his clothes. And well… This transformation may not be pleasant at all, especially if you take it literally. It is worth remembering that this context is not a bug, but rather a narrative event in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Whatever costume is used, it will be severely worn out in the fight against the Sandman boss. However, no one expected there to be such a g...

However, Insomniac Games was made aware on X (Twitter) of an issue with the update: it allows players to access a developer menu.

  After optimizing server capacity, the studio has been working on improving core aspects of gameplay With the Helldivers 2 servers now stable, Arrowhead Game Studios is working to improve several aspects of the gameplay. With this, the community can expect some nerfs to the Super Earth protectors, as a way of ensuring greater balance even if it is a necessary evil. In a post on Discord (via IGN), designer Alex K asked fans to give the game a chance despite the changes. According to him, having your stratagem or weapon nerfed “sucks” and “feels like a punishment”, but it is necessary to follow this path to offer a good variety in the experience. The developer suggests that the Breaker, the Railgun and the Shield Generator Backpack would be impacting the balance principle in Helldivers 2. Therefore, the equipment adjustments would only be part of the first round of an endless series of balance changes.”

  After last Thursday's Xbox announcements (16), Phil Spencer also commented on Helldivers 2 and the title's exclusivity for PS5 and PC. In an interview with Game File, Phil Spencer commented on Helldivers 2 and, pointedly, stated that "he doesn't know who it helps in the industry if the game isn't on Xbox." "I understand. There is a tradition in the console games market that we benefit in some way by not having the game come out on other devices," he added. Despite the comment, Phil Spencer also spoke about exclusivity during the official Xbox podcast and, according to him, "exclusives will be a considerably smaller part of the market in the next 5 or 10 years."
