A week ago news website PlayStation Lifestyle reported that there was a company named Simulmedia that was looking to implement mobile-style advertisements into console games. In that report, the company claimed that EA signed a deal to work those ads in. This week, EA denied those reports and said that they’re not currently looking at those style ads in games.
The rebuttal came after the story gained traction, with EA saying that they haven’t signed any type of agreement with Simulmedia and that they’re not going to be putting paid ads into games in the way
At this point, Simulmedia has not issued a comment on why they said that they’re working with EA. The company also said that they’re working with Hi-Rez Studios, who’s known for putting out the games Smite and Paladins.
A statement from EA regarding the matter read in part: “Following incorrect reports suggesting that we are looking to introduce ‘TV-style’ commercials into our games, we wanted to clarify that in-game

Sony is joining the game of purchasing third-party studios, as it’s been announced that the company is purchasing Finnish game developer Housemarque, who recently released the PS5 exclusive Returnal.
The purchase price wasn’t known as of press time, but the announcement was made via the PlayStation Blog, wherein Hermen Hulst welcomed the Resogun designer into the fold. The company will now be making exclusive releases for the PS4 and PS5 platforms, with the possibility of games also being ported to PC after initial launches.
In the blog post, Hulst wrote in part: “Today I’m thrilled to welcome a new member to the PlayStation Studios family! I have been a fan of Housemarque since the studio’s early days when they introduced Super Stardust HD to PlayStation fans. Housemarque’s recent release of Returnal proves the studio is one with incredible vision, capable of creating memorable new games that resonate with our community.

For the second consecutive year, it appears that Sony will skip E3, dealing another blow to a conference that many are seeing as obsolete.
The E3 expo has previously been used to showcase new game announcements for the upcoming year, with the likes of EA, Xbox, Bethesda, and Sony taking part in putting together shows that are equal parts spectacle and hype. Last year Sony announced that they were skipping E3, as they didn’t have any major announcements to make at the show. This year, it appears that Sony is saving their announcements for their own event. The company had previously held PlayStation Experience for fans, and it’s a possibility that this could come back to hype the upcoming PS5 console.
We don’t have firm details on just what Sony is planning to showcase the system, but we’re expecting it to see it launch to the world in the last quarter of this year. The console is highly-anticipated, seeing as how the

News regarding Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5 console has begun to come out, with Sony showing the system’s new logo at CES 2020.
Leaks have also been released showing the dev kits, as a cleaner at a developer snapped some pictures of the device. Unlike the boxy Xbox Series X, the dev kit for the PS5 is more obtuse, featuring a “V” look to it with a small disc slot on the bottom left. The DualShock 5 controller has also been snapped with the dev kit, showing a bulkier controller that’s awfully reminiscent of the DualShock 4. The DS5 also brings a raised touchpad as well as the adjustable tension of the triggers, which Sony has officially mentioned.
We’re still waiting on official word from Sony on the technical specs on the console, but we do know that it will feature hardware-based ray tracing technology and include a 4K Blu-Ray drive. The exact processing power isn’t known, but we expect it to be on par with the

Sony’s PlayStation 5 console is going to be released within the next year, and a leak of the company’s DualShock 5 patent has come out, showing a beefier version of the controller that’s proved so popular this generation.
The controller sketch shows a bit of a bulkier shell design to the controller, with the included speaker and touchpad from this gen making the jump over. The button layout looks to be identical to the DualShock 4, including having the analog thumbsticks directly across from each other, rather than having them offset as we see in the Xbox controller.
A nice new feature will be USB-C charging, which will be built into the new port. Sony has already shared that the controller’s L2 and R2 buttons will have adaptive triggers, which will let developers change the resistance needed to trigger action. Haptic feedback will also be built into the controller, providing more precise rumble for players to feel.
The PlayStation 5 console is set to be released sometime

The PS5 is reportedly going to be aimed at hard-core gamers, featuring tech that will rival what is seen from gaming PCs right at launch.
The revelation was made during a fiscal briefing, where company CEO Kenichiro Yoshida made the claim. The Japanese manufacturer will include ray tracing, up to 8K support (likely upscaling), 16 gigs of RAM, and a SSD that effectively will eliminate load times.
The PlayStation brand has become Sony’s biggest product, overtaking camera sensors, TVs, cameras, and the like. The PS4 has been a huge success, and Sony is rumored to be gearing up to release the PS5 in 2020 to compete against the Xbox Scarlett, which is also rumored to be pretty beefy.
With Sony focusing on hardcore gamers, we wouldn’t be surprised to see them take a crack at a premium controller like what Microsoft has done with the Elite Controller. If certain aspects can be customized, such as stick tension or sensitivity, then we’ll certainly be pumped. Heck, we’d love
