PS4 Game Sale: All The PSN Deals In The US Until April 10
A new week-long PlayStation sale has just kicked off, bringing with it a number of deals on PS4, PS3, and PS Vita games. While games from a few other publishers appear on the list, Telltale Games has gone all in and dropped the price on its PlayStation games across the board this week. So if you’ve been thinking of picking up a Telltale adventure game, now would be a great time to do it, because the discounts range between 25 and 80 percent off.
The Batman games are among the newest games in the sale. You can get Batman: The Telltale Series Season 1 for $7.49 and Batman: The Enemy Within, which just finished up with rave reviews, for $15. Or you can buy the Batman Bundle for $22.49.
The Walking Dead games also get deep price cuts during the sale. The breakdown of those prices is below. A quick warning, though: avoid The Walking Dead Collection, which includes all of the games in a single purchase. It’s on sale for $30, which is actually a little pricier than buying the games individually.
Some other great deals include Guardians of the Galaxy for $10, Minecraft: Story Mode for $6, Minecraft: Story Mode – Season Two for $12.49, Game of Thrones for $6, The Wolf Among Us for $6.24, and Tales from the Borderlands for $4.49 (which happens to be currently free for Amazon/Twitch Prime members).

Movie fans may want to check out Jurassic Park: The Game for $4 on PS3 or Back to the Future: The Game – 30th Anniversary Edition for $6 on PS4.
Non-Telltale highlights in the sale include WWE 2K18 Digital Deluxe Edition available for 55% off at $40 and Windjammers getting its price cut in half to $7. A bunch of PS4 themes and avatars are also in the mix.
There’s a lot going on in this sale, so head to the PlayStation Store to check it out. Most of these deals will be live until April 10.
Here’s What’s Different In Dark Souls Remastered
The remastered version of From Software’s celebrated action RPG, Dark Souls, arrives on a new generation of consoles in a little over a month. Along with improved visuals and framerate, the game features an assortment of gameplay tweaks and quality-of-life changes that should make the experience a bit smoother for all players.
In terms of online play, Dark Souls Remastered supports up to six players, as opposed to four in the original version. In addition to that, the Dried Finger, which allows you to summon more players in a quicker amount of time, can now be purchased from the merchant in Undead Burg, giving you the ability to get it much earlier in the game.
Bandai Namco is also implementing the password matching system from Dark Souls III, making it easier to play together with your friends. In PvP, the Estus Flask will now be the only healing item that players can use, and Estus Flasks will be restored after players defeat a red phantom.
The quality-of-life changes extend beyond multiplayer as well. Most notably, players can now use multiple of the same item at once rather than having to select them one at a time. Moreover, Bandai Namco is adding a new bonfire next to Vamos the Blacksmith in the Catacombs, and players will now have the ability to switch covenants at bonfires rather than having to trek back to their original locations.
Dark Souls Remastered releases for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on May 25. The game also supports 4K resolution and 60 FPS on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X; you can take a look at some new footage of Dark Souls Remastered running on PS4 Pro here. The Switch version, meanwhile, releases alongside an exclusive Amiibo figure.
What Will Avengers 4 Be Titled? The Comics Offer Some Clues
Thanks to Marvel Studios’ long term planning, we usually know the titles of every movie coming out for the next several years, but Avengers 4 has proven to be an exception to the rule. Avengers: Infinity War hits on April 27 and we know that Avengers 4 (opening May 3, 2019) will be a direct follow-up to the events of that movie. We’re pretty sure it’s when the Infinity War credits roll that we’ll finally have the title revealed a la “Tony Stark will return” at the end of Iron Man 3. But rather than wait that long, we’ve turned to the comics to suss out what the title will be.
Recently, the Russo brothers, who are directing both of these Avengers flicks, responded to a fan on Twitter who said they were scared of what the mystery title might be. Their response? “You should.” As innocuous as that might sound, it’s actually a big clue that points to two different titles from the comics.

Chrono Trigger on PC Getting Patch to Enable Original Pixel Art Graphics
Square Enix has shared the news that the much-maligned Chrono Trigger port on Steam will receive a patch that will add the pixel art graphics of the original game.
A series of patches are scheduled for the next few months, with the “option to switch between the current high-resolution graphics, and the original graphical style of Chrono Trigger” rolling out in the first one.
The game’s Steam release in February wasn’t very well received, appearing to be a port of the mobile version.
