Sony teaser hints at snow and blood for Gamescom

sony teases something gamescom playstation gc

Sony has released an extremely vague teaser video for something that it will announce next week at the Gamescom trade show in Cologne, Germany. Featuring snow, ice, wind, and blood, the only specific information in the brief video is #PlayStationGC, shown at the end to provide a locus for our baseless speculation.

What could it mean? After we get the requisite The Last Guardian speculation out of the way, our best guess is that Sony will confirm the PlayStation 4 release of Until Dawn, Supermassive Games’ survival horror which has been largely MIA since it’s 2012 announcement. The game embraces slasher movie tropes by following a group of teenagers vacationing in a ski lodge (snow: check) while being hunted by a crazed serial killer (blood: check). What pushes Until Dawn into plausibility is that it appeared last month on a leaked list of games Sony will be bringing to Cologne (Gamescom: check).

The video could also allude to something having to do with the Snowdrop Engine that has been built for Ubisoft’s upcoming Tom Clancy’s The Division, but that seems less likely because the game is not platform exclusive. Sony will present at Gamescom on Tuesday, August 12, so until then let your imagination run wild and share your theories in the comments.

5 features we’d need from a PS5 Pro to justify an upgrade

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

A new version of the PlayStation 5 may be on the horizon – at least if you believe the leaks. Earlier this week, Insider Gaming reported that a PS5 Pro is in development and is scheduled for a late 2024 launch. Considering that the rumor site previously claimed that a PS5 with a detachable drive would launch this year, you might want to take the claim with some skepticism. Insider Gaming provided no actual details on specs or what a Pro model would entail, only claiming that a source says it's in the works.

There’s not a lot to go on there, but just about any educated gamer could predict that a PS5 Pro is coming in the next year or two. Sony previously followed the PlayStation 4 with a PS4 Pro, which would improve the system’s power three years after its launch. It’s reasonable to think that PS5 would get the same treatment four years later -- which would likely be near the halfway point of its life span.

Can you play PSVR games on PSVR2?

Backward compatibility was a bit rocky for Sony with the PlayStation 3 generation going into the PS4. Thankfully, that was resolved moving from PS4 to PS5, but that wasn't the only new piece of hardware Sony released. The PlayStation VR2 is, as the name implies, the second generation of the dedicated PlayStation virtual reality headset. Despite taking many design and features from other popular headsets, such as the Meta Quest 2, PSVR2 is made only to work with your PS5. You might assume that this new, more powerful headset would be backward compatible with all the original PSVR titles, but that may not be a safe bet. If you have a library of original PSVR games you want to play on PSVR2, here's what you need to know.
Is PSVR2 backward compatible with PSVR?

No, Sony confirmed prior to the PSVR2's launch that it would not be able to play any of your PSVR games, saying the disparity between the two headset's power and technical differences made this impossible. Whatever the reason, this was a big disappointment to those who supported the PSVR and accumulated a library of titles for it they wanted to bring forward.

PS5 themes: Can you customize your homescreen?

The PS5 launched with many features we loved from the PS4 missing. Over the years, a few have come back, but one that many aren't sure about is themes. These could be earned, downloaded, purchased, or come included with certain games that gave your home screen a new look and background soundtrack related to different games or concepts. This made customizing your home screen that much more fun and personal. However, is this feature on the PS5? Here's whether or not you can put custom themes on your new console, or change the background.
Does the PS5 have themes?

No, the PS5 does not have any themes. Instead, whenever you highlight a game or app on your home screen, the background will change to art related to that game, as well as show more information on it. While far from ideal, it is the closest we are likely to get to the themes we had on our PS4.
Can you change the background on a PS5?
Again, due to the PS5 dynamically changing the background depending on what you're currently looking at, there's no way to alter your background at this time. Since the background is constantly changing, even if you had a custom image, it would always be changing as you cycled through games. There are a few other ways you can customize your PS5, however, unless Sony gives us the option with an update, there's no way to set a theme on your PS5.
