PS5, PS4 Possibly Getting Beloved PS2 Platformer
Originally developed by Eurocom and published by THQ (now THQ Nordic), it seems the 2003 PS2 platformer is coming to PS4 and PS5 soon.
As reported by Gematsu, PS4 trophies for the game have surfaced, which means it's only a matter of time before the demigod returns to a PlayStation platform. More importantly, it has a Platinum!
An HD port of Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy was released back in 2019 for PC and Nintendo Switch. As it has yet to be formally announced, it is not yet known if this new PS4 and PS5 version is that 2019 port or if it's an emulated version of the original PS2 game.
'Sphinx and The Cursed Mummy is an original 3rd person action-adventure inspired by the mythology of ancient Egypt,' reads the description for Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. 'Travelling the world via magical portals to foil the evil plans of Set. Sphinx's Journey will require all his wits, agility, and special powers. He will also rely on his reluctant hero friend, The Mummy, to help when being inconspicuous is the only solution. By finding the stolen magical crowns of Egypt, Sphinx can stop Set and save the world.'
Back when Sphinx and the Cursed Mumm launched for PS2 in 2003, it was received decently. According to review aggregate site Metacritic, it received an average score of 78 across 28 critic reviews.
This is far from the first time THQ Nordic has rereleased one of its 3D platformers. Just last year, the company released Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, a remaster of the cult classic Disney platformer starring the titular Mickey Mouse and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

Danielle Spencer, former child actor known for sitcom ‘What's Happening!!,' dies at 60
Danielle Spencer, the former child star who played sassy tattletale Dee Thomas on the 1970s sitcom 'What's Happening!!,' has died. She was 60. Spencer died Monday after she 'lost her battle with cancer,' her brother, jazz musician Jeremy Pelt, announced on Instagram. Spencer had also suffered other health issues — including a bleeding hematoma — throughout her life. 'Many of you knew her as 'Dee,' but she was more than a child actress,' Pelt captioned the carousel of photos of his sister. 'She was a friend, an auntie to my three children who adored her, she was a daughter— and in many ways, my mother's best friend, she was a veterinarian, she was someone who always remained positive even during her darkest days fighting this disease.' Pelt added: 'She was MY sister and protector.' Haywood Nelson, one of Spencer's 'What's Happening!!' co-stars told the Hollywood Reporter 'she suffered for a very long time but did it with a great deal of courage.' Spencer was best known for her work on 'What's Happening!!,' which aired on ABC from 1976 to 1979. The Watts-set sitcom followed a trio of teens and also featured Ernest Thomas, Fred Berry, Mabel King and Shirley Hemphill. Spencer portrayed the meddling younger sister to Thomas' Roger 'Raj' Thomas.

Is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater cross-platform?
The original Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is one of the best PS2 games of all time. Being the earliest game in the Metal Gear timeline, it is also the perfect game to get a remake for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC with a revived Fox Hunt multiplayer mode. The main draw of the game is still the epic stealth-action single player campaign, but the unique hide-and-seek-based gameplay of Fox Hunt garnered a cult following back in the day and has a great chance of being an even bigger hit with this remake. But aside from learning when we can start playing that multiplayer mode, the big question is whether or not Metal Gear Solid Delta will have cross-platform support. We know there are differences between the versions, so let's see what we know about crossplay so far. Is Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater cross-platform? In a worrying move, Konami has yet to make any statements about whether or not Metal Gear Solid Delta will have cross-platform support as of the time of this writing. All we know is that it is indeed coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC and that there will be a new online mode. While the situation is far different now, the last Metal Gear game released, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, also did not have crossplay support back in 2015. While not unheard of, it was still odd even back then to not include it. Recommended Videos Being a remake and developed by a different team a decade later, I hope that cross-platform play is included but can't say with certainty it will be. I suspect we will learn the truth once we know for sure when the online mode will launch. When will Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater's online mode launch? Just as important as knowing whether the game will be cross-platform is knowing when the online mode will launch. The base game will be out on August 28, but according to the official Konami website, Fox Hunt is currently scheduled for 'fall 2025.' That timeframe could theoretically be any time between September and November so I will keep my ears open and update you as soon as we get a firm launch date.

Razer just perfected my dream gaming headset — sorry everyone, no other brand comes close
I love video games. Rarely does a day go by that I don't play a PS5 or Nintendo Switch game for at least an hour. My favorite genre to play is RPG because I love acting out a fictional character's actions within a narrative. I adore the storytelling aspect of a game like Baldur's Gate 3, and I instantly fall in love with a phenomenal soundtrack in a game like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If you're anything like me, you'll know the importance of using one of the best gaming headsets to ensure you're hearing a game the way its developers intended. I test a lot of gaming cans for a living, and while there have been great ones from SteelSeries and Asus, I've never looked at one and gone, "That's the one, that's my dream headset." This was true until I tested the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro — and fell head over heels for it. Designed for professional gamers, the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro boasts fantastic sound with spatial audio support that gives you a competitive edge. It's extremely comfortable, features highly effective ANC, and comes with a detachable mic that makes you sound loud and clear. No compromises have been made, and you're getting your money's worth. Where do I even begin with why the BlackShark V3 Pro is the headset of my dreams? Should I tell you how comfortable it is, or how user-friendly its companion software and mobile app are? Or should I wax lyrical about its sound quality, as it wouldn't be out of line for me to say that you haven't experienced true gaming until you've tried this set of cans? Allow me to demonstrate why the BlackShark V3 Pro upstages every other gaming headset I've tested so far. Pardon the pun, I couldn't resist it. The Razer BlackShark V3 Pro is perhaps the most comfortable gaming headset I've tested so far. Having tested many, I've concluded that memory foam earcups are far better than leather ones — in my personal opinion, at least. The BlackShark V3 Pro's memory foam earcups are not just spacious but breathable too, which means I don't have to worry about sweat pooling or my ears overheating. The pressure-relieving headband also ensures there is, well, no pressure on the top of your head, so you can wear it for hours and hours without worrying about any discomfort. I thoroughly appreciate and adore the headset's design, which is clearly inspired by the aviation-style headsets worn by pilots, as the earcups are connected via hinges to a padded headband. Simply slide the earcups down the metal hinges to adjust the headset. The hinges lend the BlackShark V3 Pro a premium edge, too. As someone who listens to music almost throughout the day, I can't live without active noise cancellation (ANC), and it's one of the features I value most in non-gaming earbuds and headphones. I didn't realize I needed ANC in gaming headsets too until I tested the Razer BlackShark V3 Pro — and now I want all gaming cans to have it. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The BlackShark V3 Pro utilizes four mics to negate ambient noise, and I highly recommend enabling it if you want a truly immersive gaming experience. I ended up feeling like I was at the movie theater, especially when playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Cyberpunk 2077, both of which have fantastic soundtracks (the former features orchestral power ballads while the latter's music is high-tempo techno). With ANC enabled, the BlackShark V3 Pro completely isolates you, so you feel like the main character in the game — which also gives you a competitive edge, and that's what the headset is designed to do. It boasts phenomenal, detailed sound quality to match, so much so that I discovered new sounds in Expedition 33. I've already spent 100 hours playing it, so discovering the subtle difference in the sound of my character walking on grass versus on petals was very exciting. As I've noted in my Razer BlackShark V3 Pro review, it's a premium headset that costs a premium. It retails for $249 / £249, so it might not be everyone's bag, but as I say when I review a Leica camera, if you can afford it, why wouldn't you buy it? I'd buy the BlackShark V3 Pro in a heartbeat for every gamer in my life. Five-star ratings at Tom's Guide are rare, and it isn't often that I review a near-perfect product. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 got a full rating from me because it offers great value for money, just like the BlackShark V3 Pro — and giving the latter less than a 100% rating would have been unfair because it nails every aspect. The design, comfort, sound quality, a plethora of customization options, and long battery life help it stand out in a crowded market. It has set a high bar, and it's going to be tough for any gaming headset I test in the future to upstage the BlackShark V3 Pro.
