Sony has updated the PlayStation 5, though the differences are so subtle you may have never noticed them. The new model is very slightly lighter than the original PS5, and it uses a new screw to attach the base stand that no longer requires the use of a screwdriver.The Australian site Press Start noticed the models in the wild in the region, followed by Eurogamer finding them in the UK. According to those reports, the new model is roughly 0.6 pounds lighter than the original PS5 model, though it's unclear what Sony may have changed about the production to make the weight difference. The more noticeable change from a consumer angle is the addition of a thumbscrew so you can adjust it by hand, whereas the previous model required a screwdriver.The new PS5s are called by a new model number, CFI-1102A, as opposed to the originals, which were CFI-1000. We had previously heard about this revised model, but now it appears they're going out into the wild, at least in some regions.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

On this day in 1991, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System officially launched in North America. While it had arrived in Japan as the Super Famicom in November 1990, the US launch resulted in a console with a radically different outer appearance thanks to Nintendo of America industrial designer Lance Barr. A combination of strong angles, a few rounded areas, and a distinctive color scheme resulted in the console becoming an iconic piece of hardware for its generation.Nintendo had its work cut out for it though, as unlike the previous 8-bit generation of gaming, Sega had evolved into its biggest challenger thanks to the Sega Genesis console's combination of critically-acclaimed games and a marketing campaign designed to convince consumers that it was the coolest kid on the block. With that strong competition in the US market, Nintendo had to develop heavy-hitting games to convince people that the $200 console was worth investing in.Nintendo didn't disappoint with this strategy, as the SNES era was home to some of the company's most iconic brands. Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, F-Zero, and Star Fox all debuted on the SNES, while established franchises such as Super Mario Bros., Metroid, and The Legend of Zelda set new benchmarks within their respective franchises.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new featurette for the upcoming Marvel movie Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been released. The movie hits theaters on September 3.The video focuses on the movie's action scenes and reveals some fascinating behind-the-scenes footage of how they were shot.

Among the long list of Fortnite Week 12 challenges, you'll be required to destroy target dummies with IO weapons. Doctor Slone is preparing for all all-out assault on the aliens, and her endgame is coming into view. Brush up on your training with this mission and prepare for the attack by using our guide, which will you show the target dummy locations in Fortnite.Fortnite Target DummiesThe target dummies you'll be looking for this week are conveniently near each other, but you'll first need to collect an IO weapon, as destroying them with anything else won't count. For this challenge, we recommend dropping into Defiant Dish, the satellite station east of Weeping Woods, and looking for one of the abundant IO weapons in the area. A Pulse Rifle would be best, but any IO weapon that does damage (note: not the Recon Scanner) will do.From there, head into Weeping Woods and look for the lot of RVs that should be to your left when descending from Defiant Dish's hilltop. When this quest is active, you'll see two target dummies nearby. Shoot them to progress to the halfway point of this challenge, but you'll need to destroy two more dummies.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortnite Week 12 is staging Doctor Slone's endgame, so she wants you to find books on explosions, since she plans on making quite a big explosion herself soon. You'll need to find two books on explosions to complete this quest and while they're not too far apart, they can be easy to overlook. Here are the locations for books on explosions in Fortnite.Books On Explosions - LocationsWith Doctor Slone putting together her countermeasure device, the island of Apollo may soon host a massive explosion. You'll need to find both books on the subject to round out Slone's understanding of what she's going to do to the island. Two named locations, Dirty Docks and Steamy Stacks, each hold one book, and you can grab either one first.If you drop into Dirty Docks first, look for the container yard in the center of the location. By the exit, you'll see a dumpster. Right in front of that dumpster will be the first of two books on explosions. Interact with it to collect it. If you're feeling brave enough, you can stay in the container yard and grab the docked flying saucer for quick transport to Steamy Stacks, but if you don't get it, a car or the nearby zipline system will also get you there quickly.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Over the weekend, the much anticipated Spider-Man No Way Home trailer leaked online and all traces of the trailer were swiftly taken down by Sony. The news was reported by The Hollywood Reporter who says the trailer seems legitimate.Tom Holland, famously known for leaking Marvel movie news on social media in the past, seemingly reacted to the trailer leaking on his Instastory saying, "You aint ready!"In reaction to the trailer leaking and traces of it being removed online, people took to Twitter creating Feige memes of what his reaction would be if he were to find the person who leaked the trailer to the third Spider-Man Marvel movie.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been way too long since the last Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. We've had Disney+ TV shows and the prequel Black Widow, but finally, the MCU's Phase 4 really kicks off with Shang Chi.The movie stars Simu Liu in the title role, as well as Awkwafina as his best friend Katy, Fala Chen as his sister Jiang Li, Tony Chiu-Wai Leung as his father Wenwu, Michelle Yeo as his aunt Ying Nan, and more. Shang Chi has to confront his past when the Ten Rings crime organization comes calling--and based on what critics are saying, the film sounds bonkers.At the time of this writing, Shang Chi has an aggregate of 70 on Metacritic, based on 28 reviews. The site considers that "generally positive," although there are some outliers in both directions. On Rotten Tomatoes, meanwhile, 60 reviews add up to a rating of 93%, which is firmly in the "Fresh" category.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Call of Duty: Vanguard was revealed just last week, but that was largely focused on the campaign. Details on the multiplayer are set to be revealed soon, and that will be followed by a beta test which is separate from the upcoming alpha test.Following the Vanguard alpha that is exclusive to PS4 and PS5 players, Activision will reveal Vanguard's multiplayer as part of an event on September 7. Details on that weren't shared, but we'll presumably get a more in-depth look at the competitive side of the game then.Immediately after that, running from September 10-13 will be a PlayStation-exclusive beta test. You'll need to preorder Vanguard in order to get access to that test. On September 16-17, a second beta test will be held, and this will be open to all PlayStation owners, as well as those on Xbox and PC who preorder the game. Finally, from September 18-20, an open beta will be held on all platforms, ensuring everyone gets a chance to try the game without preordering.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The best PlayStation shooters come in all shapes and sizes. Some, like Apex Legends and Overwatch, are multiplayer only frag-fests that are best enjoyed with a group of friends. Others, like Destiny 2, borrow from MMOs to create an ongoing, replayable experience where leveling up is as much a part of the draw as pulling the trigger. And plenty, like Metro Exodus and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, are interested in telling a gripping story that will keep you invested from beginning to end. No matter what kind of FPS player you are, the best PS4 and PS5 shooters have something to keep you entertained -- by yourself or with friends. All of our picks are arranged in alphabetical order and playable on both PS4 and PS5, and some have PS5 enhancements.For more PlayStation game recommendations, check out our roundups of the best PS4 games and best PS5 games so far. While some of the games listed below have split-screen multiplayer, if you're looking for more games to play on the couch with friends, take a look at our list of the best split-screen PS4 games. Apex Legends With 2019’s Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment brought the flair for movement that defined its Titanfall series to the battle royale genre established by PUBG and Fortnite. With the addition of the kind of hero abilities that make a game like Overwatch tick, a quietly revolutionary ping system that allows players to communicate to their teammates without needing to use a mic, and a roster of firearms that just feel really good to use, you’ve got a battle royale that can hang with the best of them.See our Apex Legends review. See on PlayStation Store Battlefield 1 Taking place during World War I--a conflict criminally undercovered by video games--Battlefield 1 offers a vignette-style campaign with multiple perspectives on The Great War. In the anthology-style War Stories, players take control of troops from diverse national backgrounds in a wide array of battle situations on land and in the air. Drive a tank, fight on foot, pilot a biplane--Battlefield 1’s multifarious perspectives allow for a campaign of unmatched variety. The multiplayer mode offers the Battlefield series’ usual frantic, large-scale battles (though five years out from launch, you may struggle to find a game). Still, DICE’s military shooter is one of the best in the series, and well-worth playing for its single-player alone.See our Battlefield 1 review. See at Amazon BioShock: The Collection Assembling BioShock, BioShock 2, BioShock Infinite and all of the trilogy’s DLC, BioShock: The Collection offers an inexpensive ticket to some of gaming’s most unforgettable locales. The original BioShock is still, arguably, the best of the bunch. Even 14 years after its initial release, there is still just nothing like Rapture, the 1940s-era city at the bottom of the sea. Solid shooting mechanics, supplemented by elemental powers that react with the environment in interesting ways (try blasting fire on an oil slick, for example) keep the game exciting, and a rogues gallery of big and garish personalities keep the story enjoyable through its famous twist. Released two-and-a-half years later, BioShock 2 feels like a retread in many ways--it was developed by 2K Marin while original dev Irrational worked on Infinite--with the player returning to Rapture, this time as a Big Daddy. What it lacks in novelty, it makes up for in systemic depth, with a wealth of new combat options. And 2013’s BioShock Infinite is the most polarizing of the bunch, taking the player to Columbia, a floating city in the sky. It’s a beautiful setting, where early 20th century architectural grandeur belies a dark and bigoted core. Much has been said about the ways Infinite handles its core themes, but riding around on skyrails and slamming down on unsuspecting enemies below is undeniably still a ton of fun.See our BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite reviews. See at Amazon Borderlands 3 Gearbox Software’s long-awaited sequel doesn’t do too much that’s new, but it does plenty that’s better. Changes abound. Some are small: A tweak to the minimap makes it significantly easier to detect changes in elevation; a machine on your spaceship retrieves lost guns that may have slipped through the cracks. Some are big, like the fact that you have a spaceship at all, which you can use to fly among locations. As in previous entries, there are an uncountable number of procedurally generated guns and, by and large, they feel great to use. Environments are varied, allowing players to blast their way through the old familiar Pandora desert, a jungle planet, a mountainous world that takes inspiration from the Himalayas, and a futuristic city in the midst of a hostile corporate takeover. There are worthwhile side quests and tough, creative boss fights to tackle with your friends.See our Borderlands 3 review. See at Amazon Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered The Call of Duty that started it all. Well, not really it all given that the original release had a “4” in the title. But Modern Warfare is the game that brought Call of Duty into the present, abandoning the beaches of Normandy in favor of modern conflict in a fictionalized approximation of the United States’ own 21st century wars. Missions like “All Ghillied Up” are still a blast to play today, and it’s hard to beat some of the classic multiplayer maps like “Shipment” and “Crash.” And the game has never looked better than in this thorough remastering for modern consoles.See our Call of Duty: Modern Warfare review. See at GameStopw Call of Duty: Warzone Call of Duty’s second crack at the Battle Royale genre (following 2018’s Blackout, which arrived as a mode bundled in with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4), makes some smart tweaks to the BR formula. For instance, the game introduced “The Gulag,” a prison where downed players are transported for 1-vs-1 gunfight, the winner of which earns a respawn. Innovative mechanics aside, this free-to-play FPS features the tight gunplay, steady progression, and vehicular mayhem that have made Call of Duty multiplayer a popular mainstay for almost 15 years.See our Call of Duty: Warzone review. See on PlayStation Store Destiny 2 Destiny 2 is a pioneering live-service game and an endlessly fun mash-up of first-person shooter gameplay and an MMO-style meta. Whether you’re playing by yourself, tackling a Strike with friends, or going for world’s first in one of the series’ famous (and famously long) Raids, Destiny 2 has something for everyone. Add in Bungie’s flair for lore and some of the best Proper Nouns in the business and you’ve got an evocative world that simply could not feel better to shoot through with a group of friends.See our Destiny 2 review. See at Amazon Doom (2016) No one expected Doom (2016) to look much like Doom. Doom 3 had borrowed as much from Half-Life as it did from its predecessors and id Software had toiled for years on an unreleased Doom 4 that, reportedly, looked more like Call of Duty than traditional Doom. So, when Doom (2016) arrived and emphasized frantic gameplay, strafe-heavy gunfights, and a story that took itself just seriously enough to work, it was a big surprise, reinvigorating the pioneering shooter series after a 12-year gap. The multiplayer was and remains underwhelming, but the single-player campaign is a hard-charging FPS that keeps the action moving at all times with a health system that requires players to melee-kill demons to heal up, producing a shower of gore and, just as importantly, health regenerating orbs to collect. This was the best kind of reboot; a game that considered the things that made the original games special and recontextualized them in a thoroughly modern game.See our Doom (2016) review. See at Amazon Doom Eternal This 2020 sequel is a less focused game than Doom (2016) but a magnificent ballet of bloodshed, nonetheless. Doom Eternal serves up more of what made the 2016 reboot sing. And, with the addition of new abilities like the Flame Belch and Ice Bomb, Eternal injected fresh dynamism into an already brilliant combat system. Incredibly detailed degradation on enemies--the demons’ flesh sloughs off as they take damage--offer at-a-glance updates on your combat progress that fits in brilliantly with the game’s hellfire, brimstone, and blood aesthetic. Outside of firefights, Eternal is slightly more of a mixed bag. The lore is too self-serious and the platforming can be confusing, bu trustrations aside, most of the time, when you’re in a fight, Doom Eternal plays unlike anything else on the market.See our Doom Eternal review. See at Amazon Fallout 4 Don’t come to Bethesda’s 2015 RPG looking for great shooting. Though Fallout 4 controls better than previous games, with an improved take on the slow-motion V.A.T.S. system, blasting enemies still isn’t the star of the show. Instead, Fallout 4 is a lengthy and expansive role-playing game that serves up plenty of interesting quests in the wastelands surrounding Boston, multiple factions to side with or against, a massive world to explore, and a story that reacts to your choices. Role-playing isn’t as nuanced as in previous games, and companions don’t have much to say, but the downgrades to these RPG mainstays have been made in favor of deeper simulational elements. Plus, if you want to take a walk on the creative side, Fallout 4 has extensive base-building mechanics, which you can use to build impressive hideouts.See our Fallout 4 review. See at Amazon Far Cry 5 If you’ve played Far Cry 3 or 4, you likely know basically what to expect from Far Cry 5, but it’s a thoroughly entertaining romp in the Montana wilderness nonetheless. Players take on the role of a junior deputy sheriff attempting to take down cult leader Joseph Seed and his followers-- the Project at Eden’s Gate--who have conquered a large swath of Big Sky Country. As in previous Far Cry games, expect to take out outposts, either with stealth or sheer force, and be monologued at by a charismatic villain. But, if you’re down for the formula, Far Cry 5 is a great time in single-player and co-op, with a gorgeous recreation of the American Rocky Mountains and Great Plains, with plenty of dangerous fauna to contend with. Plus, if you like this one, sequel Far Cry: New Dawn kept the map, but gave it a post-apocalyptic coat of paint.See our Far Cry 5 review. See at Walmart Metro Exodus The third and final game in 4A’s Metro trilogy, Exodus eschews tight, linear levels for a pseudo open-world as protagonist Artyom and his fellow survivors exit the underground in favor of a speeding train across the frozen Soviet landscape. Based on Dmitry Glukhovsky’s novel Metro 2035 (and heavily inspired by Stalker), Metro Exodus is a rare modern shooter in the Half-Life 2 mode, heavy on set-piece fights and storytelling in a gorgeous world.See our Metro Exodus review. See at Amazon (PS5) See at Amazon (PS4) Overwatch What can you say about Overwatch that hasn’t already been said? Blizzard’s hero shooter was the defining FPS for much of the previous generation, with a diverse and massive roster of aesthetically and mechanically distinct playable characters, flashy abilities, memorable maps, and fun and frequent seasonal events. Not too good at the “shooting” part of first-person shooters? In Overwatch, that’s okay; healers are a vital part of any team’s composition. Single-player fans should know: Overwatch is a multiplayer only game.See our Overwatch review. See at Amazon Prey Prey, Arkane Austin’s 2017 immersive sim, isn’t as propulsive, violent, or kinetic as other entries on this list. In fact, you can sneak through much of this sci-fi game without firing a bullet. The draw, instead, is the setting: the gorgeously realized space station, Talos I, an Art Deco monument to an alternative history take on the space race. It has been overrun by Typhons, inky black aliens that range from the massive, tentacled Nightmare to the tiny shapeshifting Mimics. Arkane’s games, like its Dishonored series, are known for their play-your-way approach to level design and their suites of gameplay abilities that allow for different styles. Prey is a towering example, with powers--like the ability to transform into and play as objects in the environment--that instantly get the mind racing with possibility. There’s also a well-liked 2018 expansion, Mooncrash, that transplants the core gameplay into a roguelike structure.See our Prey review. See at Walmart Rage 2 Co-developed by id Software and Avalanche Studios Group, Rage 2 has the tight gunplay you expect from the creators of Doom and Wolfenstein, in a post-apocalyptic desert world. The open world isn’t as exciting as you might expect from Avalanche--- it feels like it mostly just exists as decent scenery to drive through on your way to the next objective---but the fights are hectic, gory fun, and the tone is quite a bit less serious than the previous, underwhelming Rage.See our Rage 2 review. See at Walmart Rainbow Six Siege A brilliant tactical shooter, with almost too many Operators to count, Rainbow Six Siege is one of the best FPS games available today. In this stellar shooter, the actual shooting feels great and responsive, but planning and teamwork are just as important. Rainbow Six Siege has only gotten better since launching way back in 2015, adding new maps and Operators to the fray that help make it an engrossing tactical experience even after you've sunk hundreds of hours into the game. If you're a fan of tactical shooters that require excellent teamwork, Rainbow Six Siege is hard to beat.See our Rainbow Six Siege review. See at Amazon Superhot Superhot has a simple premise--as the game explains it: time only moves when you move But Superhot Team’s inventive debut gets big bang for its buck by committing wholeheartedly to that concept. More puzzle game than traditional FPS, Superhot asks players to think carefully about every move they make and every bullet they fire. It’s innovative, meta, and has spawned two pseudo-sequels: Superhot VR and Superhot: Mind, Control, Delete.See our Superhot review. See on PlayStation Store Titanfall 2 The best first-person shooter campaign since Half-Life 2? It depends on who you ask. But Respawn Entertainment’s briskly paced sci-fi FPS undeniably has some of the best moment-to-moment gameplay of any title on this list. Sprint, slide, double jump, shoot, sprint, and shoot some more as you blast through some of the best levels of the last generation. The time-bending “Effect and Cause” and the world-shifting “Into the Abyss,” which has you platforming your way through a factory where houses are prefabricated as they’re built up around you, are worth the cost of admission alone. Add in a suite of multiplayer modes that, even almost five years out, still receive periodic boosts from Apex Legends’ popularity, and you have a full package that few first-person shooters can rival.See our Titanfall 2 review. See at Amazon Wolfenstein: The New Order The first game in the long-running Wolfenstein series to be developed by MachineGames is a stellar reinvention of the classic FPS franchise, with great shooting, strong stealth, and a compelling alternative history story with its fair share of indiscriminate Nazi-slaughter, yes, and also touching romance between hero B.J. Blazkowicz and his lover Anya Oliwa. The 2014 game looks slightly dated at this point, but the action and storytelling are still a major success.See our Woflenstein: The New Order review. See at Amazon Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus MachineGames’ second Wolfenstein game is a Nazi-killing extravaganza that pays equal attention to rip-roaring action and nuanced, ensemble storytelling. B.J. Blazkowicz and co. spend the time between missions on a stolen Nazi sub that works well as a space to relax and chat with teammates between missions. There’s even an arcade machine where you can play an altered version of Wolfenstein 3D. The story moments land, the dialogue is strong, and the gunplay is as good as ever. We especially love how The New Colossus handles progression: As you use a skill, the game presents new challenges to accomplish which you can complete to up that stat. It’s a smart and organic way to reward each distinct playstyle. Overall, The New Colossus is a great story-focused FPS with enough hyperviolence and over-the-top story beats to make Quentin Tarantino blush (and then applaud).See our Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus review.
