Spider-Man PS4’s Terrifying Boat NPCs Get An Easter Egg In Spider-Man Remastered
Beyond the lighting improvements making the top of their hedronic heads look even more gruesome, one of the NPCs now totes a sticky note on his chest which says "Did you miss us? <3"
We've gone looking for Boat NPCs in Spider-Man: Miles Morales too, but sadly we haven't been able to find a boat close enought to shore to check out its passengers.

Fair play to Insomniac for having some fun with the reference. The Ratchet and Clank developer also kept the Avengers 'west-coast' reference from the original, which you can see here. If you want to see the game in action, you can check out our video comparing the graphics of Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 Pro and PS5, looking at the remastered version's fidelity and performance mode.
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered comes bundled as part of the Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. We recently reviewed the Spidey spin-off launch title on PS5, scoring it a 9 and calling it a "fantastic follow-up" to the original.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Review In Progress
After a few days with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, I've played through the campaign twice to see both main endings, spent some time in multiplayer, and scratched the surface of Zombies. I still need to play more multiplayer (particularly on live servers) and delve much deeper into Zombies before this review is final, so keep in mind that details, including the score, are subject to change in the coming days.
The key takeaway from Cold War thus far is that Call of Duty fares far better when it errs on the side of fantasy. This is true within Cold War's campaign, where the inclusion of Ronald Reagan is a bizarre fit for an otherwise larger-than-life story about espionage and brainwashing, and it's true when comparing its story to that of last year's overly serious Modern Warfare. Cold War plays up its far-fetched premise, and that extends to some of its more inventive and creative multiplayer maps, too.
Campaign
Like any Call of Duty campaign, Cold War is theatrical. From the '80s-themed montage that opens the campaign to a Vietnam flashback set to Steppenwolf--along with plenty of explosions, helicopter crashes, and slo-mo shootouts--Cold War's campaign is as action-movie as you'd expect. It largely works with the inherent over-the-top nature of a Black Ops story, and although some bits can be kind of goofy, it's both easy and fun to buy into the spy drama and massive gunfights in equal measure.

Ghost of Tsushima Becomes the Fastest-Selling Original PS4 Exclusive
Ghost of Tsushima has set a new record as PlayStation’s fastest-selling original PS4 exclusive, with more than 5 million copies sold since its release in July, according to PlayStation Worldwide Studios head Herman Hulst.
It’s a strong showing for developer Sucker Punch, who has long had a tight relationship with Sony thanks to their work on the Infamous and Sly Cooper franchises.
By comparison, Guerilla Games’ Horizon: Zero Dawn managed to sell approximately 3.4 million copies in roughly the same four-month window. The Last of Us Part II managed to sell 4 million copies in its first three days making it the fastest-selling non-original PS4 exclusive.
“We're thrilled and absolutely blown away by all of the support!” the official Sucker Punch Twitter account posted. “Thank you to everyone who has played Ghost of Tsushima.”
Ghost of Tsushima received strong reviews for its visually striking world and combat, with IGN giving it a nine out of 10. Sucker Punch has given players a reason to return to Ghost of Tsushima as well with the new Legends co-op raid that lets you and three friends team up and utilize mystical powers not seen in the base game.

To no one’s surprise, we’ve also seen a few hints that Sucker Punch may be building up their development team for a sequel. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer/wandering ronin for IGN. Cut bamboo with him on Twitter.
