If you purchase the Ultimate Edition of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales to get Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered on the PS5, you won’t be able to transfer a save from the PS4 version of the game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games revealed the news on Twitter, as well as providing more details about how the remastered version of the 2018 game will work in a series of replies to fan queries.

If you plan to continue from where you left off on the PS4, you’re out of luck, as it looks like the two games will be separate entities, meaning your current-gen save won’t be compatible. However, this does mean that Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered will offer a separate trophy list, which is great news if you’re a Platinum hunter keen to replay the game on PS5.

Saves won’t transfer from the original game to the Remaster

Insomniac also confirmed that Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered won’t receive a physical release, and will only be available as a download voucher or a digital download, depending on which version of the Ultimate Edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales you purchase.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a PS5 launch game, swinging into action on November 12 in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea and November 19 everywhere else. The game is also coming to PS4 with a ‘next-gen upgrade path’ for players who make the jump to next-gen later down the line.

Age Of Empires III: Definitive Edition is releasing on October 15, and the game’s development blog has been sharing more about what fans can expect from the re-release. One of these blogs included an interview with Anthony Brave, who worked on the game as a consultant and writer to fix AOE3’s often problematic depictions of Native American civilizations in its WarChiefs expansion.

“A key focus of our work at World’s Edge is to authentically represent the cultures and peoples that we depict in our games,” the blog explains. “In creating Age III: DE, we realized that we weren’t upholding that value as well as we could regarding the Indigenous North American cultures represented. So we set out to fix that: working directly with tribal consultants to respectfully and accurately capture the uniqueness of their peoples, history, and cultures.”

The changes made for the Definitive Edition extend to the very names of the First Nations civilizations, but also involve changes to how they play and progress through the game, as well as a full re-write of the Shadow storyline. “Before we started working on the DE with our Native American and First Nations consultants, we didn’t know that the names Sioux and Iroquois were given to them by European settlers,” developer World’s Edge explained. “So we have changed those civ names in the DE to their Indigenous names–Lakota (Sioux) and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois).”

Umurangi Generation, one of 2020’s slightly under-the-radar gems, is coming to Switch. What’s more, owners of the game on PC will be able to expand their experience with a new DLC pack, titled Macro.

Umurangi Generation is a cyberpunk photography game, set in a low-fi world that glows red and is rife with corruption. It was inspired, in part, by Australian bushfires and numerous current world events. It’ll come to Switch before the end of the year.

A first-look trailer for the DLC was shown during a stream by indie publisher Playism. There will be new equipment to unlock, and you can now glide about with rollerblades, taking photos of new targets.

Due to what Nvidia called “unprecedented demand” for its new RTX 3080 cards, the first release sold out before most consumers could even get a look in, with store pages slammed by bots buying up stock for resellers. Now, customers who signed up for Amazon’s in-stock alerts for the graphics card are instead being sent to overpriced listings selling the RTX 3080 at prices up to $5000, as reported by The Verge.

Amazon’s stock alerts allow customers to sign up for email notifications, letting them know when stock becomes available for an out-of-stock item. Normally useful for in-demand items, in this case users who’ve signed up for alerts are being sent to listings of up to $5000, many times the card’s recommended retail price of $700.

The new Nvidia release has been so messy that the company has apologized for it, promising to ship new stock to retailers “every day,” and saying that it has been “doing everything humanly possible, including manually reviewing orders, to get these cards in the hands of legitimate customers.”

Monster Hunter Rise has been revealed as the next Monster Hunter game for Switch, and unlike Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate it’s been built from the ground up for Nintendo’s hybrid portable. The initial announcement trailer (below) gave us a look at the new game, but now more information has come to light.

YouTube Monster Hunter superfan Arekkz has spoken to Capcom community manager “Socks” about the upcoming game, and he’s dug up some new details on the Switch exclusive. Socks talks about what fans can expect, including information about post-launch content and some information about its engine and performance.

You can watch a summary of Arekkz’s Q&A below–it seems that the actual interview was not recorded or usable, though, so it’s a recitation of the information he received.
