Steam is overhauling its support for PlayStation 4 controllers

With a lot of the same options as the Steam remote Steam is slowly assimilating every control method into its ever-expanding core, and it’s just as well. While Xbox controllers were king on PC in terms of ease of use, the DualShock 4 has slowly been climbing the ranks.

The most embarrassing games Psycho Mantis could have called out on my PS1 memory card

Of all the iconic moments inMetal Gear Solid, the battle against Psycho Mantis is tough to top. It’s both a cool boss fight and a mild deconstruction of your gaming habits! For those who haven’t squared off against this gas-masked psychic, one of his powers was the ability to read your memory card and make note of what you’ve been playing. This largely hinged on how many Konami games you had saved, but it was still wild at the time....

The poses are picture-perfect Iexpectedto be buried under an avalanche of silly mods forthe PC release ofSpider-Man, but thisSpider-ManKermit mod is something else.

Watch this ModNation Racers trailer unless you hate cuteness

ModNation Racersis a PlayStation 3 exclusive I have had my eyes on since, well, it was announced at E3 2009. To sumthe experienceup, it’s an adorable-looking kart racer with a strong emphasis on user-generated content. Time and time again, people have even compared it toLittleBigPlanet, which makes sense, but I doubt we’ll see Level 1-1 faithfully recreated inModNation Racers(prove me wrong). Long story short, the creation tools the game provides you with look not only powerful, but relatively easy to learn/use as well....

Now we’re getting down to the wire here with roughly 50 minutes, as the debate between amiibo use and non-amiibo use continues. Just after speedrunner Venick hit the record with 50:17 (following a massive glitch that ended his run entirely on the final boss gauntlet), sva161620has achieved 47:59as of yesterday on Wii U (which is a smidgen faster than Switch) without using the German translation, which would have saved them 10 seconds....
