Long-awaited Metal Gear Online leaves a middling impression

By Joshua Smith Published October 14, 2015

It wasn’t too long ago when Metal Gear fans rejoiced at the sight of an exhausting yet addicting solo campaign in the all new Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. While many are still dedicating hours upon hours of their time helping “Big Boss” complete mission after mission, an all new online multiplayer game has recently released that may tempt Metal Gear gamers away from their campaign saves. Although Metal Gear Online features three unique modes all encompassing the controls and tactics of the Metal Gear franchise, many still wonder if it’s worth the time.

PlayStation Plus is getting more expensive right before everyone comes back

PlayStation Plus costs more now if you don’t lock in for a year

Sony is raising PlayStation Plus prices for new customers from May 20, adding another cost increase to an already pricey console generation. The change applies in select regions and affects the shorter subscription options.

According to PlayStation’s official post, one-month plans will start at $10.99, €9.99, or £7.99, while three-month plans will start at $27.99, €27.99, or £21.99. Current subscribers are mostly protected for now. Sony says the new pricing will not apply to existing members unless they change their plan or allow the subscription to lapse. However, subscribers in Turkey and India may also see the change.

Sony no longer wants “PlayStation exclusive” games to get a PC launch

Reports suggest future first-party single-player titles may skip Steam releases entirely.

Over the last few years, Sony gradually got PC gamers used to the idea that most major PlayStation exclusives would eventually land on Steam. Games like God of War, Spider-Man, Horizon, Ghost of Tsushima, and The Last of Us all made the jump sooner or later. But earlier this year, reports suggested that Sony was planning to stop releasing future single-player PlayStation titles on PC and keep them locked to PS5 instead. Now, it looks like those fears are finally becoming reality.

Valve’s Steam Controller just got a lot more useful outside Steam

The Steam Controller’s biggest problem may already be getting fixed

Two Steam Controllers in use with the Steam Deck

Valve’s new Steam Controller has had a pretty good start. Early reactions have been positive, and the $99 controller sold out quickly after launch.

That demand also brought scalpers, who started listing the controller at inflated prices. Valve has since introduced a reservation queue to give real buyers a better shot at future stock. Still, one complaint kept coming up. For many players, the Steam Controller was simply too locked into Steam.
