Sony PlayStation’s latest State of Play event came out swinging with the announcement of Resident Evil 4 remake. It then ended on a high note, revealing the release date of Final Fantasy XVI. But that’s not all. There were plenty of exciting announcements in between. Here’s a rundown:

Resident Evil 4

A Resident Evil 4 remake is coming to the PlayStation 5. The game catches players up with Leon Kennedy, six few years removed from the events in Resident Evil 2.

The game has been remade for the for the current generation of console. And if the trailer was anything to go by, it looks freakin’ awesome. Resident Evil 4 is scheduled to release on March 24, 2023 and will be available only on the PS5.

Street Fighter 6

Capcom is looking to bounce back after a less than stellar release of the Street Fighter 5. The trailer showcased the usual versus fighting we know and love. But it also showed some free roaming areas which feels new for the franchise.

Arcade Mode, online matches, Training Mode, and other staples are all present. New to this edition are the World Tour and Battle Hub modes. Street Fighter 6 will be available in 2023 on the PS5 and PS4.

Final Fantasy XVI

There’s been plenty of buzz surrounding the next mainline Final Fantasy game. Now, rumors can be put to rest with the reveal of the combat trailer and a release date.

The trailer showed flashy, action combat involving expected characters. What’s eye-popping though is a battle involving Eikons (or Guardian Force, Summons, depending on where you’re coming from). It appears the game will feature actual battles between Ifrit, Bahamut, Shiva, and more instead of the usual single-attack cinematic.

Final Fantasy XVI will be available on the PS5 and is coming Summer 2023.

PS VR 2

PlayStation promised updates on their latest VR efforts and they did not disappoint. There are plenty of games to look forward to in the Horizon.

Millennials, prepare to have your nostalgia get hit right in the feels. Nintendo has officially announced that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch.

This year, the Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30^th anniversary. Naturally, with Pokémon Day coming up, it’s only right to celebrate the event with something huge. Finally, two of the most prolific titles in the series are coming to a modern console.

Originally released in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At the time, the two titles reimagined the older games for the Game Boy Advance. Additionally, they introduced new post-game content set in the Sevii Islands, where Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys reside in the Kanto region.

Based on the short teaser trailer, the upcoming Switch versions will feature all of both games’ content. It will likely be remastered for the Switch’s larger screen.

To showcase more of the Switch version, Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Presents on February 27. The brand has not mentioned anything about a potential physical version yet. However, they do promise that both games will be available on the Nintendo eShop as soon as next week’s Pokémon Presents concludes. Each game will cost US$ 19.99.

The UltraGear evo line includes 5K-and-above resolution gaming displays in OLED, MiniLED, and ultra-wide formats. They are designed to deliver high definition, speed, and immersive gameplay.

To make things work, LG developed the world’s first 5K AI Upscaling technology. This on-device AI solution enhances content in real time without requiring GPU upgrades.

The three primary offerings are the 39GX950B, 27GM950B, and 52G930B. Here’s a quick breakdown for each:

39GX950B

PlayStation 6 reportedly delayed to 2029 because of RAM shortage

The Switch 2 might also get a price hike this year.

The current console generation is arguably a tepid one, especially compared to preceding generations. Though the PlayStation 5 certainly has its certified hits, it’s difficult to classify the home console as a quintessential piece of hardware that everyone must own. All eyes are now on what comes next, the PlayStation 6. However, because of an ongoing RAM shortage, those curious eyes might have to wait a little bit longer.

As you probably know, an ongoing RAM shortage is currently terrorizing the entire tech world. Upcoming devices are getting delayed, and currently available ones are expecting a price increase sometime this year. The unannounced PlayStation 6 is reportedly part of the first group.

According to Bloomberg, the shortage has pushed the projected release of the next console to 2028 or 2029. The delay is apparently disruptive to Sony’s plans.

There aren’t a lot of rumors swirling around the PlayStation 6 yet. However, the absence of news, coupled with anticipated titles like the remake of the God of War trilogy far off into the future, hints that PlayStation is waiting for the right time.

On the other hand, the same report claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 is part of the second group of RAM shortage victims. That is, Nintendo is reportedly considering a price hike for the currently available console this year.

To be clear, neither Nintendo nor Sony have confirmed anything happening to their respective consoles, current or otherwise. However, the shortage is a very real thing. Even if its effects aren’t readily felt now, it’s still expected to spread throughout the industry in the medium term.
