Insomniac Games has announced that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will have an optional "Performance Mode," enabling 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.

With 4K/60fps coming as an “optional” mode, it seems sensible to presume that some graphical sacrifices will be made from the ‘standard mode’ in order to enable this boosted performance. With next-gen placing emphasis on resource-intensive tech like Ray Tracing, it may be that Performance Mode turns those graphical effects off to free up power and divert that into frame rate. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/spider-man-miles-morales-announcement-trailer-ps5-event"] IGN has reached out to PlayStation for comment and will update this story should they respond. Spider-Man: Miles Morales was revealed as part of the PS5 event stream, and is a standalone new game that follows on from PS4’s Spider-Man. It sees Miles Morales becoming Spider-Man as a street war kicks off, and will include new Marvel villains and a new set of powers unique to Miles. [poilib element="accentDivider"]

On Reddit, users who dug into the source code for Sony’s direct.playstation.com — the company’s hardware retail website — discovered new references to the PlayStation 5 that seem to indicate that Sony will limit PlayStation 5 orders to one per household. According to user u/Kgarvey, source code in the PlayStation Direct website revealed an error message that could appear if customers attempt to order more than one PS5 consoles through the website. IGN verified the source code and can confirm its existence. The message found in the source code reads, “You can only purchase one version of the PS5 Console: Disc or Digital. You have already added one PS5 console to your cart.” [caption id="attachment_238189" align="alignnone" width="879"] Capture by IGN.[/caption] Sony previously limited one console per household when it put the PlayStation 4 up for pre-order, so this is not particularly new for the company. What is different this time around is how Sony will be selling two different versions of the PS5 but will keep the one per household rule. Meaning you can only order the PS5 or PS5 digital, but not both at the same time. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] So even if you’re hoping to order both a physical and digital PS5 console, there’s a chance you won’t be able to do it from the PlayStation Direct website. Though nothing is stopping you from ordering a second PS5 from another retailer. Other references in the source code unearthed a new label (captured by u/Kgarvey) Sony could potentially add to PS4 games that indicate that they’re PS5-compatible. This new label could be used to indicate which PS4 games are backward compatible with the PS5, but user u/Kgarvey also suggests it could be used to indicate if hardware like controllers is forward compatible. Sony could be planning to sell the PS5 directly to customers, but since there are already product pages for the PS5 live on sites like Amazon, Best Buy, and more likely means the PS5 pre-orders won’t be exclusive to Sony’s store. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/29/ps5-the-future-of-gaming-trailer"] The company also said that customers will be given plenty of notice before the PS5 goes up for pre-order, so when pre-orders do eventually go live customers will hopefully have plenty of information on when and where they can place their advance orders.

Marvel's Avengers is aiming to let players customize beloved Marvel heroes in a number of ways, from different attack builds to gear and more. And of course, a key component of that is making sure the heroes look awesome while they're reassembling to save the world. As part of our IGN First coverage of Marvel's Avengers, we're happy to debut new and more detailed looks at already revealed costumes players can expect to unlock in Marvel's Avengers. Check out the gallery below for more. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvels-avengers-outfits&captions=true"] A multitude of different costumes will be available for players to unlock in-game, and include a variety of new designs and some inspired by classic and obscure costumes from the heroes' decades of comic, TV, and movie history. Players will actually get to go hands-on with these heroes soon, as the closed and open betas for Marvel's Avengers will be playable in August. For more on the upcoming adventure, which is set to be released on September 4 with a PS5 and Xbox Series X release to follow, check out why Crystal Dynamics settled on Kamala Khan and MODOK as Avengers' hero and villain, learn about how Marvel and Crystal decided to collaborate, and hear from Avengers' lead combat designer about the team's efforts to make every Avengers play uniquely.

Christopher Nolan's Tenet has been indefinitely delayed. As reported by Variety, the long-awaited sci-fi movie has now vanished entirely from Warner Bros' release calendar. Tenet's original July 17 release had already been pushed back by the studio twice, with the most recent release date being August 12. Unfortunately, with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to wreak havoc on the entertainment industry, it would seem Warners is no longer willing to attempt a summer release. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Interestingly, chairman Toby Emmerich hints the studio may abandon plans for a simultaneous global launch of Tenet, instead releasing the film in individual markets as the public health crisis allows. “We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature,” said Emmerich in a statement. “We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that.” Based on Emmerich's statement, Warners is apparently still hoping to release Tenet in 2020, at least in some markets. Variety writes, "Sources at Warner Bros. stress that they will have to be flexible with its plans to release Tenet, which means it will not have a traditional theatrical rollout. Movie theaters overseas have already started to reopen, so there’s a chance it could launch internationally prior to a domestic release." Warners is also delaying another major release until well into next year. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It has been pushed back from September 11, 2020 until June 4, 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/02/a-brief-history-of-time-in-christopher-nolan-movies"] As things currently stand, Disney's Mulan will be the first summer blockbuster to open in theaters, with a release date of August 21. However, Tenet's indefinite delay casts new doubt on whether Mulan will meet its latest release date. For more on how COVID-19 could affect the film industry, head here.
