Last week, we asked you to take in your surroundings and share your favorite in-game architecture using #PS4share and #PSBlog. From crumbling ancient ruins to neon-filled futurescapes, here are this week’s highlights: Assassin’s Creed Origins is filled with beautiful Ancient Egyptian temples like this one shared by @ilikedetectives.

StayPlaytion. Ah, the ‘SNES PlayStation’. It’s commonly held up as one of the biggest ‘What Ifs?’ in gaming, but this once mooted (and later, betrayed) collaboration between Sony and Nintendo could have changed the industry landscape forever. We got a peek at this fabled crossover back in 2016 when the console was found in the…

Apart from seeing our game appear on…

Donkey Kong Bananza producer Kenta Motokura has revealed that upon receiving his assignment to come up with a new 3D DK game, the first thing the team did was call on the OG Donkey Kong creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, for his take. Speaking in an interview with IGN alongside Bananza director Kazuya…

You’d be forgiven for forgetting about the League of Legends MMO in development at Riot Games. More than five years after it was first revealed, it still remains the stuff of imagination: It’s been three years since Greg Street, the then-VP who announced the project, left Riot, and two years since Riot “reset” development, and…
