The PSPgo is a reality, and this fall gamers will be able to get their hands on the sexy new piece of hardware, sliding screen and all. When the screen is slid up, most of the handheld’s controls are revealed — the analog nub, a d-pad, and all of the face buttons. The system doesn’t contain a touch-screen, as many had erroneously rumored. So why would one even think to play a game on it with the PSPgo “closed,” the screen slid down to hide the controls?...

Getting Over It Bennett Foddy, the guy behind the fumbling, funny, hard-to-control running gameQWOP, is coming out with something new soon. Something that’s also frustrating yet hard to permanently put down. His next project isGetting Over It. It’s an homage toSexy Hiking, an old physics-centric platform game created by Jazzuo, and, well, you’re better off seeing this delightfully odd thing for yourself: You’re a nude dude in a cauldron scaling rocks, trees, and other assorted (and increasingly devious) obstacles using a sledgehammer while a narrator chimes in from time to time....

Additionally, there will be three new multiplayer maps (Sanctuary, Foundation and Oasis) plus two new Special Ops Missions.

Daw Stardew Valleyis packed enough on its own: so much so that I haven’t really sought out the comfort of mods. But the modding scene has been incredibly robust ever since the game hit the market, to the point where just about anyone can whip up their own custom scenario. Enter this marriage proposal. Posted on Redditthis past week by Chubbyloveshinobi, the scene is short and sweet, and apparently happened a couple of months ago....

Hint: Obsidian is owned by Microsoft [Update: Private Division has nowclarifiedthatThe Outer Wildsis “enhanced for both Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.” Specifically, the game “includes 4K textures and resolution on Xbox One X and PC, and upsamples to 4K from 1440p on PS4 Pro.” The Xbox One X still comes out on top in the end.] The whole “half-generation” thing has been weird, to say the least. Although we’ve had “slims” and slightly reworked consoles for ages, the whole “Xbox One X” and “PS4 Pro” thing has been muddled, as platform holders attempt to extend the generation a bit....
