PlayStation Portal Has a Hidden Browser with YouTube Support

The PS Portal has a built-in browser capable of playing YouTube videos, and without the need to connect to a PS5 via Remote Play. The browser is buried in the Settings menu and has severe limitations, but it could open up future possibilities.

The inbuilt browser is usually how they hack into the system by tricking it into executing external code.

It wasn't the prima purpose of the devices and unessecery so they hid it likely out of fear of exploitation or the ability to use other cloud streaming services

Either they're going to patch it out or hackers are going to start opening up the doors to do tons of things for it. Likely why they opted out of having one readily available.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Needs A Proper DLC, Not More "Insomniac Original" Suits

Despite multiple, very convincing leaks about a DLC, the only thing Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is getting is more suits. Where's the DLC, Sony?

... i think Insomniac's planning a Venom based spinoff similar to Miles Morales

Inverno17d ago

The first game came out in September, by October it had its first dlc release and by December "The City That Never Sleeps" had concluded. If you're wondering why there hasn't been any DLC for Spiderman 2 it's cause they didn't work on it alongside it's main development. It's been a pretty normal practice for devs to work on DLC that way which is why they have extra content out so quickly. Most likely we'll be getting Venom stand alone next year and Wolverine the year after that.

I thought this but you have to think Insomniac wasted a lot of their time of that live service game which was cancelled

That was probably supposed to be the “extra” for the game.

I don’t know if every Sony game that got cancelled was correct,

Also I don’t know how they are making twisted metal season 2, but cancelled the game? Surely the show is meant to drive popularity and visibility of the game where the real profits are made. So that doesn’t add up to me. Maybe it just changed developer, fingers crossed I suppose

So giving out free suits isn't enough?

You're actually asking to be nickel and dimed and Sony is bad for not nickle and diming you?
