Gamescom is rapidly approaching and this week, we run down a handful of games we’re looking forward to seeing more of there: returning faves like The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past DLC, Alien Isolation 2, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and Mega Man Dual Override, plus No Law, the new FPS from The Ascent’s developers, and of course, some weird or ambitious-looking indies caught our eye including Bad…
This week, we’re joined our old pal Mitchell Saltzman, who’s the best there is at what he does - and what he does… is play video games with Wolverine in them, apparently. Mitchell breaks down what he learned from several hours of hands-on time with Insomniac’s Wolverine, giving us some details on how the combat feels, stealth sequences, and what we’ll be doing when we’re not fighting, plus whether…
Look, it’s a hectic time of year for us, and we’re a little scattered, so this week we’re taking the show on the road and off the beaten path in Big Walk, the new co-op indie puzzle game from House House, the studio behind Untitled Goose Game. It’s an obtuse, meditative social experience that feels somewhere between The Witness, Journey and those “friend slop” games, but a bit less chaotic.…
That’s a wrap on San Diego Comic-Con for us! Joined by our old pal, ex-IGN and current comedian Mike Drucker, we break down our highlights (and uh, other moments) from the dozens of segments IGN produced, as well as some of the gaming-related news out of the show. Zack Cregger’s Resident Evil movie, Insomniac’s Wolverine and God of War Laufey, plus Jada’s time with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls’…
Join the IGN Discord https://discord.gg/h2T45nkkm6 Is Sony losing its way? This week on Beyond, we try to look at the bright side of the current state of PlayStation, which isn’t exactly easy in light of past few years. From the recently announced plans to kill physical discs to the live-service initiative and the Bungie acquisition to the constantly rising price of hardware amidst a drought of…
Join the IGN Discord https://discord.gg/h2T45nkkm6 It’s been another rough week for the games industry. Most recently, Xbox’s ruthless “restructuring” has left thousands jobless, and shortly before that, Sony announced plans to discontinue the manufacturing of physical PlayStation games starting in 2028, which will likely eliminate more jobs in the long-term, and doesn’t exactly give us hope for…
Join the IGN Discord https://discord.gg/h2T45nkkm6 This week on Beyond! Jada Griffin is hosting again and like GTA 6 she is getting away with whatever she wants! She’s joined by Brian Altano and Nick Maillet to discuss all the most recent GTA 6 news concerning whether Playstation is the best place to play it, the potential shortage of consoles ahead of GTA 6’s launch and how GTA 6 is outselling…
It feels like everyone’s celebrating milestone anniversaries… except Sony. The original PlayStation turned 30 two years ago, the PS2 hit 25, and the PS3 is now 20, and all of these brought with them some iconic game franchises. Aside from limited edition consoles and themes, Sony seems to be sitting on the sidelines. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is going all-in: Resident Evil and Tomb…
In a very special IGN Live edition of Beyond, we're deciding which video game character from a non-Sony franchise deserves to be made an honorary PlayStation mascot. Some of the most beloved game characters ever debuted (or found success) on Sony hardware, from Lara Croft and Cloud Stryfe to Leon S. Kennedy and Solid Snake to Pyramid Head and Rayman. And, decades later, many of their respective…
Sony kicked off the summer of gaming with a pretty hefty State of Play. We got first looks at God of War Laufey, a very extended (and pretty violent) look at Marvel's Wolverine, and a ton of other upcoming titles such as Silent Hill Townfall, Phantom Blade Zero, Until Dawn 2, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and a whole lot more. It was a pretty packed show. Beyond! This weeks show is hosted by Max…
Join the official IGN and Podcast Beyond discord! - https://discord.gg/mx62v5pgq GTA 6’s third trailer has not yet dropped as of this recording, which makes the wait until the game’s eventual release in November seem further away than ever. But what happens if it gets delayed, again? Well, luckily there are a ton of awesome new games coming out before then like Wolverine, Blood of Dawnwalker and…
