Sometimes some of the biggest news can be that there will be no news at all. Much like the news of Valve saying they would have no appointments at this year’s E3, Respawn Entertainment has said that they will not be announcing anything at this year’s show. They did say that they would be walking the floor though. For those who may have forgotten, Respawn Entertainment was started by Vince Zampella and Jason West after they were forced out from Infinity Ward by Activision....

Overwatch 2 is a sequel if you take it on the face value of its title but it’s more accurate to say it’s a major update, replacing the original 2016 game on every platform. This isn’t a sequel in the traditional sense clearly. Rather, it represents a change to how a familiar, well-loved game looks and plays.

Sony has announced plans to remaster a range of classic PSOne and PSP titles for PlayStation 4, including Parappa the Rapper, Locoroco and Patapon. Due for release in 2017, all three titles are being remastered with updated visuals, including native 4K support on PS4 Pro, plus additional features that take advantage of the DualShock 4, such as a metronome that pulses in time with Parappa the Rapper’s music. Locoroco, meanwhile, (one of my favourites) uses the motion control functionality of the DualShock 4 to let you rotate the levels....

Hooray for over-anxious retailers! Play has posted a partial tracklist for the upcoming Green Day: Rock Band - tentatively confirming that the title it will include two of the band’s albums in their entirety: Dookie and American Idiot. Dookie was Green Day’s major label debut, and includes the hits “Longview,” “Welcome to Paradise”, “Basket Case”, and “When I Come Around”.

Devolver Digital is known for being quite “out there” with its indie fare, as you’ve seen with games like Enter the Gungeon and Carrion. However, with Disc Room, it invites you to take on an interesting experience involving saw blades and death. It’s not all in vain, though; there’s actual purpose here. And we learned more about it during a recent hands-on at PAX East 2020. In Disc Room, it’s the year 2089....

This just in: From Software games are a little difficult, and players tend to get just a smidge upset at them. That’s right, friends, you hear all the exclusive brand-new stories here first. Maybe you’ve been raging your way through Dark Souls since the original.

Persona 5, the latest in the JRPG series that performed surprisingly well in the UK but had some really weird streaming restrictions, will be getting an anime series.

First up is PlayStation Plus, with Sony now confirming Planet Coaster, UFC 4, and Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep as February’s library additions.

PlanetSide 2, the free-to-play online shooter, launched for PS4 yesterday following an lengthy beta, but things haven’t gone to plan in Europe.

Developer Daybreak had said the European servers would return in “just a few minutes”, but that was over nine hours ago....
