Insomniac Games has released Marvel’s Spider-Man’s newest updates, which add the much-anticipated New Game Plus mode, as well as a new difficulty level.
Insomniac published the patch notes for updates 1.07 and 1.08 for Spider-Man, which are now available to download on PS4. The biggest update is the addition of New Game+, a Spider-Man PS4 feature Insomniac confirmed soon after the game’s initial launch.
Removed text from a PlayStation Blog post earlier this week indicated that New Game+ would give players “your unlocked suits, skills, gadgets, mods, and benchmarks from the beginning.”

Psyonix has announced that the release of RocketID, its system for allowing cross-platform parties in Rocket League, has been pushed back to 2019.
In a post, Psyonix called the delay a “difficult decision” while acknowledging that it originally planned a 2018 release for RocketID. The developer found a silver lining in the delay, however, and pointed out that it will now have RocketID prepped to work even with PlayStation 4 when it launches.
“The good news is that with Sony’s recent announcements regarding full cross-platform functionality, we can now make additional changes to prepare RocketID for ALL platforms should we receive permission to do so!” reads the post.

Ubisoft’s Starlink: Battle for Atlas launched this week, marking a surprising return to the toys-to-life genre that burned out last year. But unlike games like Skylanders or Disney Infinity, you don’t actually need Starlink’s physical toys to play it — in fact, it’s way better (and cheaper) to skip them entirely.
That’s right, not only can you play the game without having a ship strapped to your controller, the digital versions of Starlink come with more ships, pilots, and guns than the physical versions do at a lower overall price. You can watch our review of Starlink below, and see a breakdown of its different options after that.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas feels like it’s trying to crash a party that’s already packed up and moved on. Toys-to-life games like Disney Infinity, Skylanders, and LEGO Dimensions all dominated the toy sections three years ago, but that time has come and gone. That’s not to say that Starlink: Battle for Atlas isn’t good, because it’s a surprisingly rich and ambitious exploration and combat-focused, story-driven experience. But the “toys” part comes off as a little unnecessary, especially when Starlink rewards digital players more than physical ones.
Starlink: is a story of space exploration with a ragtag crew of characters who all bring unique personalities and skills to the table. At the very least, Ubisoft has done a good job of establishing the admittedly generic “Starlink” brand into one I wouldn’t mind seeing more of in future games. Cutscenes are well produced and engaging, feeling a little like watching the latest Netflix Original Animated Series play out.

Square Enix debuted nine new Kingdom Hearts 3 screenshots, and three character renders, highlighting the returning cast from Kingdom Hearts 2’s Twilight Town.
Previously glimpsed in trailers already, the screenshots, which you can check out in the gallery below, show off Hayden, Pence, and Olette and highlight areas like Ansem’s lab, the Old Mansion, and more.
Of course, these characters first debuted in Kingdom Hearts 2, during that sequel’s introductory sequence featuring Sora’s Nobody, Roxas. While we really haven’t seen much of Roxas himself in the glimpses of Kingdom Hearts 3 so far, he’s clearly an integral part of the plot, given the frequent mentions of him in past trailers.

Dark Souls Remastered has, after a lengthy delay, finally arrived on Nintendo Switch. While this is really a technical and graphical polishing of the original – there’s no major new gameplay content – the Switch’s handheld mode adds an absorbing new dimension to what is, for me at least, a very familiar experience. But it also did something I wasn’t expecting: it made the return to Lordran feel oddly new.
If you don’t know much about Dark Souls, here’s what IGN said when it first came to consoles…
“…if you’re interested in the limits of the video game form – to see just how focused, how pure and how uncompromising in its vision a game can be – Dark Souls is unmissable. If you take the time get into Dark Souls’ mindset, to begin to understand the twisted way in which it operates and taste the rewards behind its cruellest challenges, this is one of the most thrilling, most fascinating and most completely absorbing experiences in gaming.” – Keza MacDonald
