This new controller makes a difference in the handheld controller market. Rather than being a portable console, it relies on the PS5 to deliver games, so a strong Wi-Fi connection is required for smooth game streaming.
There is no official announcement when the console will be available in the market. However, Sony has mentioned that they will be sharing details soon.
Additionally, Sony has also announced its latest first official wireless headphones that claim to offer lossless audio on PS5 and PC.
Here’s what the PlayStation blog says “Project Q gaming console installed on your PS5 and streaming over WiFi, along with our first official wireless headset to deliver lossless audio on PS5 and PC. More details will be available in the coming months.”
Expansion Game for Spider-Man-2
Sony has released a lengthy gameplay trailer for the highly anticipated Spider-Man 2. The showcase featured both Peter Parker and Miles Morales showing off Peter’s abilities with the new Symbiote suit. The nearly 13-minute trailer gives viewers an impressive experience.
Furthermore, the new trailer has revealed the iconic villain known as Kraven the Hunter. The game demo begins with Peter Parker in a Symbiote suit, walking around New York. He was later joined by Miles Morales, and the two Spider-Man teamed up to face a group of enemies.
According to the PlayStation Blog “Let’s not waste time: Peter Parker, our original Spider-Man in this story, walks through the basement door, who needs no introduction. But what he’s wearing might be worth it: he’s dressed in the legendary, well-liked and well-liked black suit and ready to fight.
“Besides serving looks, our Symbiote-related hero has some new tricks up his sleeve. We’re no strangers to Spider-Man banging his head, but never like this: he’s much more aggressive and doesn’t deliver any punches. The symbiote’s tentacles heighten Spider-Man’s silhouette, smashing enemies against hard surfaces, showing no mercy to Kraven’s hunters.”
Metal Gear Solid remake
Along with Sony, famous game developer Konami also announced the launch of a new game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. The game is currently in development.
The announcement of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Remake is a big event for the Metal Gear Solid series. The game is considered one of the best in the series and was praised for its plot, gameplay, and graphics.
