Destiny 2 hotfix for March 23 finally addresses one of Lightfall’s biggest problems

March 23, 2023VG247

Destiny 2 Thresher cannons getting you down in the Master Nightfall? Not for much longer, they’re not. A new hotfix landing in Destiny 2 Lightfall on March 23 is going to address a major issue that’s been causing players grief since the start of the latest expansion’s launch: finally, Cabal Thresher damage output is going to be nerfed. Why is this important? First, a history lesson. With the launch of Lightfall, the Cabal airships got a massive upgrade. Ever since we first stepped foot on Neomuna and started experimenting with Strand powers, the pesky airships began firing missiles that can…

Sony handhelds might be dead, but on its 18th birthday the promise of the PSP is as alive as ever

December 13, 2022VG247

The PlayStation Portable and Vita dream might be over, but the Switch and the Steam Deck keep the flame alive. If you’re old enough to remember when Sony announced that it was getting into the handheld video game system thing, you’ll remember how exciting it was. At that time, in 2003, Sony was at the absolute height of its gaming powers, with the PS2 an absolutely undisputed dominator of the market. The idea that Sony would now encroach on the last corner of the market still held by Nintendo was thrilling. Small, but mighty. It wasn’t just the capitalist nightmare…

Have a million bucks to spare? You could buy around 2400 different consoles on eBay right now

September 4, 2022VG247

The listing in question likely won’t be snapped up any time soon. If you have a spare cool mill laying around somewhere, and fancy upping your console collection, there’s an eBay listing you might want to check out. With the world of video games offering a fair number of rare collectibles due to limited prints of cartridges, or certain consoles and peripherals not doing well enough to warrant much production of them, there’s a lot of collectors in turn who like to build personal libraries. And recently, an eBay listing (spotted by Consolevariations.com) shows a pretty impressive collection of roughly…

PlayStation Plus Premium will not support DLC and add-on content when streaming

May 24, 2022VG247

This isn’t news to those who’ve had a PlayStation Now subscription. Sony has announced that PlayStation Plus Premium will not support DLC and add-on content when streaming a title. This is according to a new PlayStation Plus guide posted on the PS Blog. What this means is that if you have DLC for a PS3 game, you won’t be able to play the additional content, and the only way to play PS3 games is through streaming. But this will also be the case with any streaming title. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, just one of the PS3 games confirmed to…

GTA 5 hits PS5 tomorrow… but I don’t want to stop playing GTA: Chinatown Wars

March 14, 2022VG247

A peculiar little Nintendo DS oddity, Rockstar’s top-down tale of drugs, vice and family feuds is as worthy as any of its console siblings. Handing over a brick of heroin to a visibly paranoid dealer, I finalise the sale price using the DS stylus – and can’t help picturing a disapproving Shigeru Miyamoto. As the constantly smiling creator of Mario – the huggable godfather of gaming – Miyamoto seems endearingly innocent. Now, I’m using the device that brought us Nintendogs to push Class A drugs. Still, there are more pressing matters at hand. Finally agreeing to my price, the scruffy-looking…

With the PS3 generation, digital store shutdowns manifest their most damaging form yet

March 30, 2021VG247

We’ve seen digital store shutdowns before. But Sony’s announcement that it’s to close the PS3, Vita and PSP stores for good is without doubt the most devastating yet.There’s a lot of anger about this decision, and justifiably so. But this is the digital future, and the gradual march of progress. It’s scary.When Google Stadia was announced, I said that streaming could be the future of games but gave me grave worries for game preservation. But perhaps when I wrote that we were already on a slippery slope, with too many purchases shackled to online services that can be closed down…
