PS4 Pro

Hunting down a Sony PlayStation 4? You aren’t alone. With the entire nation stuck inside until further notice, demand for the console has rocketed. While most retailers have sold out, there are still some that have them in stock, ready to leave the warehouse today. Here’s where the run-of-the-mill PS4 and the souped-up PS4 Pro are still available.

PS4

The PS4 shoots in and out of stock faster than a speeding bullet. Fortunately, we here at Digital Trends are on hand to help: We’re monitoring all the leading retailers, cataloging those that still have the console in stock below. List looking a little short? Can’t find what you’re looking for? We’re updating it around the clock, so bookmark this page and keep checking back.

PS4 (1TB) at Amazon — $355
PS4 (1TB) at Best Buy — $300
PS4 (1TB) at Kohl’s — $300
PS4 (1TB) at Newegg — $365
PS4 (1TB) at Target — $300
PS4 (1TB) at Walmart — $300

PS4 Pro

Being the more expensive of the two, it’s no surprise the top-of-the-line PS4 Pro isn’t as hard to find as the standard PS4. Having said that, the console still flies off the shelves, so there’s no guarantee the following retailers will still have it in stock in half an hour. Again, we’re updating the list around the clock. If it’s looking a little short, be sure to circle back a little bit later.

PS4 Pro (1TB) at Amazon — $390
PS4 Pro (1TB) at Best Buy — $400
PS4 Pro (1TB) at Walmart — $443

We should note that we have only featured products that have been priced fairly and aren’t being offloaded at an extortionate markup. The consoles featured above cost near enough the same as they did this time last year, with a couple even selling at a discount. As always, you can rest assured you’re getting the best price by shopping through Digital Trends.

After something a bit different? Here’s where to buy the Nintendo Switch. We’ve also rounded up all the best Xbox One deals and the best Black Friday PlayStation 4 deals out there at the moment, including a must-have offer on the Xbox One S All-Digital (1TB). You’ll probably want to act fast for those too, though. Something tells us they won’t be around for long …

Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways leaves me hopeful for a Resident Evil 6 remake

Ada Wong holds a gun in Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways.

This year’s Resident Evil 4 remake was an important victory for the horror series. Not only did it successfully reimagine a beloved classic, but it finally concocted the perfect action formula for the series at large. That’s an important milestone considering that Resident Evil has historically run into trouble when fully dropping survival horror in favor of blockbuster action (see the misunderstood, but undeniably sloppy Resident Evil 6). The remake paves the way for Capcom to once again evolve its series, taking another crack at the third-person shooter genre it struggled to nail.

In that sense, Resident Evil 4’s new Separate Ways DLC feels like a taste of what’s to come. Capcom uses Ada Wong’s solo chapter to push its action formula even further, weaving in some exciting new tricks that are already leaving me hungry for a true spinoff. It’s not the series’ finest DLC, playing more as an asset-reusing victory lap, but it gives me hope that Resident Evil’s second decent into pure action will be much more successful this time.
Grappling forward
Separate Ways follows Ada Wong, the anti-hero mercenary on a quest to retrieve a Plaga sample for Albert Wesker during the main game. The lengthy bonus episode is a remake in itself, but it's perhaps even more radical than the base game’s reinvention. Right from its completely new opening scene, it's clear that Separate Ways is diverting pretty far from the original DLC. That’s a sensible decision considering how much the new version of Resident Evil 4 reworks Ada Wong. She’s no longer a careless hired gun, but a nuanced character struggling to balance her professional responsibilities with her moral ones.

Unity backtracks on its controversial Runtime Fee plan following backlash

Art of Unity

Unity has finally backtracked some of the policies related it the Unity Runtime Fee announced last week following a wave of backlash from game developers. While the Runtime Fee isn't completely going away, changes were made so it's not as aggressive toward smaller developers and games that were already released.
The Unity Runtime Fee was going to start charging developers up to a $0.20 fee every time someone installed their game. This decision was met with ire by game developers, who hated the short-notice, retroactive application. Devs felt the plan had oversights concerning subscription services, charity bundles, and piracy. In a blog post about the Runtime Fee changes, Unity's Marc Whitten admitted that Unity "should have incorporated more of your feedback before announcing our new Runtime Fee policy."

As for what's changing, the blog post states confirms that there will be no Runtime Fees for games made on Unity Personal or for games that made less than $1 million over the last 12 months. For developers using Unity Pro and Unity Enterprise, the Runtime Fee and applicability of Unity's terms have been adjusted so that it only applies to games made on the next LTS version of Unity. That means games already released or already in development in an older version of Unity won't be subject to the fee.
Developers who want to circumvent the fee entirely can also choose to just give Unity a 2.5% revenue share if that's a lesser amount than what they would pay with fees. So, while the Runtime Fees aren't going away entirely, it's clear that the strong negative reaction from game developers has forced Unity to change course on what was a widely maligned plan.
