Fallout 4 mods for PS4 delayed by Bethesda
Bethesda has experienced trouble with enabling mods on the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4, and it seems Sony is the one to blame. Sony is limiting the mods to 900MB of space.

E3 Impressions: Sony VR Games
In the race to bring VR to the gaming masses, I feel Sony has the most to lose. Based on the VR titles they revealed during their E3 conference, I think they may know that. That last paragraph is totally my opinion, but I will do my best to explain myself. Of the current console manufacturers, only Sony has fully hitched itself to the VR wagon. They did so by being the only one to actually announc...[Read More]
