Do you like boxes that can play the video games? Well, if so, you’ll probably want to tune into the PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation that’s set to air later today, September 10, and you can find all the details as to how to do so right here.Sony announced yesterday that this presentation would be taking place and be led by Mark Cerny, oft-referred to as the architect of both the PS5 and its predecessor, the PS4. It didn’t outright confirm then that this whole thing would be the proper reveal of the long-rumoured PS5 Pro, but that’s certainly what folks have concluded.PS5 Pro Technical Presentation hosted by Mark Cerny Watch on YouTubeYou can watch today’s PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation above when it airs at 4PM BST, which is 5PM CEST, 11AM ET and 8AM PT on September 10. Seriously, just click play right there when the time hits, and boom, you’ll be watching some nice chat about hardware.What exactly will you be in for? Well, Sony’s confirmed that the presentation will run for nine minutes and said it “will focus on PS5 and innovations in gaming technology”. If it follows the chatter and what folk have inferred from what looked to be a tease of the console’s design in artwork for a blog post about PlayStation’s 30th anniversary plans last week, there’ll be PS5 Pro within that time.Some on social media have also claimed that an unlisted YouTube video spotted on Sony’s official channel following the announcement of the presentation was literally titled “PS5 Pro” for a time, before having its title changed to “PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation – September 10”.You’re probably wondering if we’ll get details like a price for the console, assuming it does get revealed here as everyone expects, but it’s also important to think about what kind of soundtrack it might be revealed to. Or at least that what I’m most interested in, given that 30th Anniversary tease dropped alongside a playlist featuring Livin’ La Vida Loca, Soulja Boy’s Crank That, and various other choons you might not associate with playing on your PlayStation.That announcement from the other day did include a note that “this broadcast may include copyrighted content (e.g. licensed music) that PlayStation does not control”, so here’s hoping Cerny boogies on out to Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings What do you think we’ll see at this PS5 presentation?

Read moreThe first teaser trailer and details for Alien: Earth are here, though you shouldn’t expect too much from them.Ever since Alien: Covenant was released in 2017, things have been a bit quiet for fans of the series, but 2024 is clearly the year to change that.

Read moreThere are a lot of real people in EA Sports FC 25, with the vast majority being of the kicking a ball for a living, used to kick a ball for a living, or paid to tell other people who how to kick a ball variety. However, there’s a set of brothers in this year’s game who don’t both fit into one of those categories. To be clear one of them, QPR defender Morgan Fox, certainly does. He’s a 68 overall kicker of balls you can add to your lineup if you want someone with 60 pace and 69 defending (nice) to dish out challenges on opposing forwards.

Read moreThree years on and a few bumps in the road later, Halo Infinite is looking to mix things up with… uh, a third person mode!Everyone has their preference over first and third-person shooters (when’s someone gonna make a second-person shooter?), but no one can deny that the defining way to experience Halo is in first-person. It’s never been possible to do so otherwise, sans mods anyway, but it just doesn’t look like Halo unless you’re staring down the barrel of its excellently designed sci-fi weapons. Anyway, 343 Industries has just announced this week that the game’s getting a third-person mode! Yes, really, I’m not pulling your leg here, look there’s even a short trailer you can watch below that proves it’s real from the official Halo Twitter account. Experience a new way to play! 3r…

And as it turns out, the co-founder of Discord Stanislav Vishnevskiy isn’t all that different from you Final Fantasy Discord users, as he pretty much created the app because he wanted somewhere to talk about Final Fantasy 11, Square Enix’s original MMO take on the series.

Read moreVariousThere are so many ways to be a Dungeons & Dragons fan these days. The tabletop RPG mainstay has been synonymous with pen-and-paper adventuring for 50 years now, and 2024 marks a major reworking of its core rulebooks to make the game more approachable. Anyone who’s played even just a couple of sessions knows how easy it can be to covet a friend’s set of custom dice, appreciate the care a Dungeon Master has taken in setting the right ambience for a crafted campaign, or even obsess over their choice of pen and notebook — after all, it’s what you’ll be spending a large chunk of time staring into as you ponder your character’s next heroic action.But what’s amazing is that you can be a huge D&D fan without ever touching a character sheet.
