One of the more confusing aspects of Sony's approach to cross-generation support between the PS4 and upcoming PS5 has been cross-gen saves. Sony has clarified its stance on the matter, stating that it's up to developers to ensure the feature is supported.In a detailed breakdown of cross-generation features included with the PS5 (such as backwards compatibility for games, accessories, and PSVR), Sony confirmed that players will be able to transfer their saves between the consoles using a LAN connection, Wi-Fi, or the cloud (which requires PlayStation Plus). This confirms that save transfer functionality is inherently supported by the PS5 and its operating system, with a disclaimer from Sony that it is up to individual developers to ensure they support the feature."Please note that the ability to transfer game saves between a PS4 version and a PS5 version of the same game is a developer decision and will vary title by title for cross-generational games," the blog post reads.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Boys Season 2 was one heck of a ride. From the mystery of the head explosions to The Deep's adventure joining a cult, Season 2 went to some truly weird and shocking places. Oh, and a literal nazi won over the hearts and minds of America--although that part doesn't seem so far-fetched these days, which is definitely the point.With the Season 2 finale, "What I Know," streaming now, it's time for us to examine the entire journey and look at where the final episode leaves us. After all, we're already looking forward to The Boys Season 3.The BoysBy the end of the Season 2 finale, Butcher has once again lost Becca--this time for good. She's killed accidentally by her son Ryan when he tries to save her from Stormfront. That leaves Butcher at probably his lowest point yet--even worse than when she chose to stay at the compound earlier in the season. However, Mallory presents a path forward: She's getting funding directly from Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (more on her later) so The Boys can continue their mission of keeping tabs on the world's supes. Butcher doesn't reply to the proposal right away, but given everything he's lost, it's fair to guess that he'll take the opportunity to continue seeking revenge against Homelander however he can.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The popular Disney ride Space Mountain is being adapted into a movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Writer Joby Harold, who is also behind Disney+'s upcoming 2020 Obi-Wan Kenobi series, has been hired to pen the script for the live-action adaptation and serve as producer.Joining Harold as producer is his wife Tory Tunnell (My Blind Brother) and Rideback Productions (The Lego Movie franchise, Aladdin). Details on the newly hatched project are still fairly barebones--there's no plot or casting information yet--but the movie is expected to have a theatrical rather than streaming release.Since first debuting at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in 1975 and Disneyland in 1977, Space Mountain has gone on to become practically synonymous with the parks themselves. The indoor roller coaster has riders blast off through a swirling solar field and throttle through many twists and turns--which should provide plenty of thrills and also serve as a good launching pad for big-screen fun. In recent years, the ride has also seen temporarily retheming to become a Star Wars-centric attraction called Hyperspace Mountain.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
