Cyberpunk 2077 has taken over video game journalism, as we all expected. What we weren't expecting is the reason for all the talk. CDPR launched it's much anticipated game to a whirlwind of bugs and issues, completely shattering its glistening facade. CDPR hasn't helped themselves much in this situation, issuing an apology while simultaneously directing gamers to pursue refunds if they were unhappy. A decision that we suspect caused Sony to respond by pulling the game completely from the...

Spencer laid out some details, albeit a little generic, on how developers...

With the new generation underway we are already seeing cross gen releases hit the market. Games such as Call of Duty, Madden, NBA 2K21 and more boast enhancements aplenty as they aim to wow gamers with features "only possible with this technology". There are still issues however, like CoD accidentally defaulting to the PS4 version when playing on PS5. On the bright side, Sony CEO Jim Ryan confirms that first party PS5 games are being built from the ground up to maximize the potential of the...
