Good news for all gamers, "99 percent" of PS4 games are playable with PS5 backwards compatibility, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan has confirmed following the news of the PS5 price and PS5 release date earlier this week.
Ryan said that thousands of PS4 games have been tested on PS5, and the overwhelming majority run fine with the console's backwards compatibility programme, with only 1% unplayable at present.

Sony started its PlayStation conference off big—Final Fantasy big. The next Final Fantasy game is officially Final Fantasy 16, and it looks dark (the last line spoken in the trailer is "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do"). But it's still full of familiar series elements, including Chocobos, summons, and Crystals.
And it's coming to PC.
It's telling that the trailer showed the logo for Square's development team Creative Business Unit III—the VP of that department is Naoki Yoshida...

PlayStation 5 finally has a price and a release date. Sony revealed all details at their showcase event today. The PlayStation 5 console will cost you $499.99 at release, which happens to be November 12th. Two days after the Series X. This is good, as both consoles are going for the same place. So the only way we might be able to gauge things, is how the PS5 all digital version ($399.99) will do against the Xbox Series S ($299). My guess the Series S is going to be a huge hit, especially...

This is interesting, Bethesda was purchased out by Microsoft for a cool 7.5 billion dollars. This is unprecedented as this includes the likes of Fallout, Doom, Elder Scrolls, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, and I may be missing some others. What do you think of this purchase? Supposedly, the games already planned and coming out, will still come out for the PS4/PS5. I believe future games not yet being worked on, are now owned exclusively by Microsoft now.

EA recently ditched the Origin Access name, so it’s no surprise that the brand itself is being dropped.

Unifying EA’s subscription services under one banner certainly makes sense, and is aligned with the...

10. Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is not a perfect remake, suffering from some framerate hitching problems in the overworld and some dated design issues that could have used a bit of an update, but those issues seem relatively insignificant when you consider just how gorgeous and joyful this Switch remake is.

Diablo is the world’s premier action role-playing game (RPG) series. Interestingly, it's a game that's effectively spawned many an imitator. However, very few other games have managed to come close to the original's addictive, gear-gathering, dungeon-crawling grind.
