PS5
A new report claims that a classic PlayStation video game series is currently at the center of a remake operation for Sony's new console, PS5. The information comes from "KatharsisT", a notot leaker and industry insider.This leaker has in the past disclosed some information which later proved to be correct, while at other times he was wrong. It is therefore not the safest and most reliable source in the industry, but listening to his words does no harm to anyone. Most importantly, in this case ResetEra's mods have claimed that the leaker's information is credible. Which classic game would be returning as a PS5 remake?
PS5: A remake on the way? For now we don't know. The leaker does not give any other information. The options are many. For example, the Metal Gear Solid saga is linked to the PlayStation world, although the most recent chapters have been released in platform format. However, this is only an option. Silent Hill is also another candidate. The rumored PS5 remake could be one of PlayStation's many games of the past.
Also, when you think about remakes and PS5, your mind immediately goes to Bluepoint, who has shown great skill by recreating Demon's Souls. As mentioned, however, for now it is only unfounded speculation. Always assuming that the rumor is true, we hope that an official announcement will arrive soon.
Staying on the PlayStation theme, here is the PS5 / PC preliminary comparison video of Days Gone by Sony Bend Studios.

Where to buy a PS5: What you need to know to secure Sony's new console
Let's start by getting the bad news out of the way: As of April 18, no major retailers have Sony's PlayStation 5 gaming console in stock. This shouldn't come as a huge surprise -- retailers like Best Buy, Target, Amazon, GameStop, Walmart and even Sony itself can't keep up with demand for the fastest-selling gaming console in US history. Supply issues are being further exacerbated by the global chip shortage and the pandemic, so any restocks typically sell out within minutes.
But for those of us still looking to buy a PS5, there's some good news. Restocks at retailers have been happening more frequently -- for both the $400 digital-only PS5 with no optical drive and the more expensive $500 version with Blu-ray. If you're not already on Twitter keeping an eye out for inventory drops, you should be -- they're happening more and more often. Earlier this week, GameStop had a limited number of PS5 and Xbox bundles available. Sony's PlayStation Direct has been holding brief restock events, but those are only open to people who have received exclusive email invites -- so you if you're still trying to buy one, you might want to consider signing up for PS Direct marketing emails in case it helps you get a future invite.
If you're willing to shell out way more than the sticker price, you can get a PlayStation 5 or PS5 bundle at a reseller like eBay or StockX. But our advice is to wait until the console is available at its regular sticker price at a retailer like Best Buy, Amazon, GameStop, Target and Walmart. Be sure to check back here often for the latest updates on when retailers might have new console restocks.
Andrew Hoyle/CNETYou can monitor PlayStation 5 stock updates on your own; as mentioned above, Twitter is a good source for restock rumors. But we occasionally get word directly from retailers and tipsters about upcoming PS5 console inventory restocks, and we update this post immediately. Again, be aware: It likely could be months before anything approximating normal inventory levels appears in stores, so getting your own PS5 gaming console is likely to be a challenge until summer at the earliest. Below you'll find a list of all the major retailers (and a few high-profile resellers) where you can monitor the video game console's stock and availability.
More on next-gen consolesYou can check out Amazon's page for the $400 Digital Edition via the button below, or, if you'd rather, get in line for the PS5 with Blu-ray for $500.
When in stock, Target offers the PS5 with Blu-ray for $500, in addition to the PS5 Digital Edition, which you can find by clicking the button below.
You can check on availability of the $400 Digital Edition at Walmart by clicking the button below, or you can try to snag the pricier PS5 with Blu-ray for $500.
When in stock, Best Buy offers the PS5 with Blu-ray for $500 along with the $400 Digital Edition (which you can find by clicking the button below). The retailer is also offering a slew of accessories on its PS5 landing page.
We don't recommend spending more than retail to get a PS5, but if you must have a console right now, eBay is your shortcut to getting a console. That said, expect to pay hundreds over list; the average PS5 price on eBay is about $800.
If you've exhausted all of the usual retail options and you're willing to pay hundreds over list price, you might want to check out StockX, an eBay alternative that made its name in the secondary market for sneakers and designer clothing. Last time we checked, prices for the PS5 were hovering just below $650. We don't think it's worth it, but let your conscience (and your wallet) be your guide.
