Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Is The Fastest-Selling PlayStation Studios Game Ever

Image
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has only been available for three days, but the critically acclaimed sequel has already become the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game in the brand’s history. In a press release , Sony Interactive Entertainment states that over 2.5 million copies of the game have been sold within the first 24 hours of launch. The publisher didn’t provide a breakdown in terms of physical vs digital, but that’s an impressive number for the PS5 exclusive. This feat continues the series' record-setting trend; 2018's Spider-Man also became the fastest-selling first-party PS title at the time (for PS4 specifically with 3.3 million sold within the first three days of launch) and, later, became the best-selling superhero game ever in the U.S. , a record it still holds today. Time will tell if this sequel can supplant its predecessor, but it's off to a strong start regardless.  We’ve enjoyed our time with Peter and Miles, and you can read our thoughts by checking out...

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 On PS5 | New Gameplay Today

Image
The Metal Gear franchise has been quiet since 2018's somewhat bizarre Metal Gear Survive . The series' creator, Hideo Kojima, publicly left Konami in 2015 shortly after the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and since then fans just weren't sure what to expect, or even if to expect anything from the property. That changed recently when Konami finally revealed some plans for the franchise. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is being remade and retitled Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater , and the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 1 is releasing this week. The collection contains the NES and MSX releases of Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Snake's Revenge, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, and additional bonuses like soundtracks, scripts, and more. It's far from a complete collection of all things Metal Gear (hence the Volume 1 part of the title, presumably), but it arguably finally gi...

Who Is That Secret Character At The End Of Spider-Man 2?

Image
With Spider-Man 2 finally out , it won’t take long for the most enthusiastic wall-crawlers to roll credits. For those who do, a surprise character reveal is one of the last things you’ll see in the post-credits stinger. But it may leave you wondering – who is being teased? SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE END OF MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN 2. With Peter and Miles’ big team-up adventure now complete, developer Insomniac Games seems ready to suggest a new spider-powered hero, introducing this universe’s version of Cindy Moon, aka Silk. Silk is a more recent addition to the Marvel canon, first appearing in the 2014 relaunch of The Amazing Spider-Man series. The character, created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, is one of several heroic leads that have expanded the scope of the Spider-Man universe. In her original comic incarnation, Cindy Moon is a Korean-American young woman bit by the same radioactive spider as Peter Parker. While their powers come from the same source, Silk has slightly different ...
